Chapter 653 Adventure
In the upper room, Lu Ninghua had bandaged Bai Qingyan’s wound, and Bai Jinse helped Bai Qingyan lean on the hidden bag.
Bai Qingyan moved his body with difficulty, and every time he breathed… his chest felt like something was pulling it, and the pain was unbearable.
Bai Qingyan looked at Bai Jinse with red eyes, and a smile appeared on the corners of his pale lips. Looking at Bai Jinse crying, he felt a warm feeling in his heart. He raised his hand and gently wiped the red spots on her face: “Sorry, did my elder sister scare you?”
Bai Jinse wiped her tears with her sleeve and lowered her red and swollen eyelids.
Chuntao lit some incense to dispel the bloody smell in the room, and with red eyes, she brought a cup of hot water through the curtain and handed it to Bai Qingyan, whispering to her, “Miss, Mr. Xiao is still in the side room. He said that he was ordered by the Crown Prince to wait until Miss is safe before leaving. Doctor Hong cannot tell Mr. Xiao about Miss’s current condition, so he can only wait with Mr. Xiao in the side room.”
“Chun Tao, please ask Mr. Xiao to come in. I have something to say to him!”
Bai Jinse guessed that Bai Qingyan and Xiao Rongyan had a very close relationship ever since Xiao Rongyan came to guard the Bai Mansion for Bai Qingyan today. She also just heard that it was Xiao Rongyan who carried their eldest sister in. In addition, the eldest sister did not seem to intentionally hide her injury from Mr. Xiao. It seems… their relationship is indeed unusual.
Chun Tao said yes and went out to call Xiao Rongyan. Bai Qingyan gently held Bai Jinse’s hand…
“Grandmother doesn’t know that I’m injured yet. I want you to talk to Grandmother and tell her the truth… I was too aggressive in protecting the emperor this time. In order to return to Shuoyang safely, I can only resort to this last resort. Don’t worry, Grandmother.” She raised her hand and touched Bai Jinse’s head. “Go back, change your clothes and go to Changshouyuan, okay?”
Bai Jinse nodded, stood up and tucked the quilt around Bai Qingyan’s legs: “Eldest sister, you should have a good rest. I will go tell grandma right away! I will definitely talk to grandma and not let her worry. Don’t worry, elder sister.”
Bai Qingyan nodded: “Go…”
Bai Jinse nodded and looked at Lu Ninghua again. Not wanting Lu Ninghua to disturb her elder sister and Mr. Xiao’s conversation, she said, “Aunt… please help Doctor Hong boil the medicine for my elder sister!”
Lu Ninghua was very smart and understood everything immediately. She nodded and followed Bai Jinse out of the upper room.
When she went out and saw Xiao Rongyan walking along the corridor with Chuntao, Bai Jinse bowed to Xiao Rongyan solemnly: “Thank you Mr. Xiao for guarding the Bai Mansion today. Bai Jinse will remember it in her heart.”
“Seventh Miss, you are too polite!” Xiao Rongyan bowed in return.
Xiao Rongyan walked in, clenched his fists at his sides, and walked around the screen towards the inner room.
“Chuntao, you go out first…” Bai Qingyan said to Chuntao.
Chuntao frowned, feeling a little uneasy about this scoundrel who had once broken into their eldest girl’s boudoir. Their eldest girl was weak now, and who knew if Xiao Rongyan would bully her.
“It’s okay, just go ahead! Just wait at the door.” Bai Qingyan whispered to Chuntao.
Chuntao then bowed hesitantly and left.
“Sit down…” Bai Qingyan leaned against the head of the bed and smiled faintly at Xiao Rongyan, “This time, thank you Mr. Xiao’s people for your help! The people in the Bai Mansion are too easy to be exposed, and… if I use my own people, they will inevitably not dare to take action, and they will not be able to play the show for real.”
After Bai Qingyan finished speaking, he covered his chest with his hands and frowned slightly, restraining himself and trying to breathe as lightly as possible… to avoid hurting the wound.
Xiao Rongyan picked up the steaming water that Chuntao had placed on the small table, sat down beside Bai Qingyan’s bed, and passed the water to Bai Qingyan’s mouth, with red bloodshot eyes: “If I knew that you would really get hurt so badly by pretending to be injured… I would never agree.”
Bai Qingyan didn’t act pretentiously. He grabbed Xiao Rongyan’s wrist that was holding the teacup, took a sip from it, and looked up at Xiao Rongyan, who looked tense. “If I don’t do this, not only will the Crown Prince be afraid of my saving the emperor too much, but the Emperor will probably not let me go back to Shuoyang. Who knows… he might even use marriage as an excuse to trap me in the capital.”
Xiao Rongyan gritted his teeth, his expression gloomy.
Bai Qingyan had talked too much and his breathing became a little difficult, but he didn’t dare to breathe heavily, so his brows were furrowed.
“What’s wrong with you? I’ll go call Doctor Hong.” Xiao Rongyan put down the water cup and was pulled by Bai Qingyan.
In his past and present lives, Bai Qingyan had never seen Xiao Rongyan panic and lose his composure. He always seemed to be confident and calm.
“Xiao Rongyan…” Bai Qingyan showed Xiao Rongyan a very faint smile, “You should trust your people! If you don’t let them hurt my life first, they will show some restraint.”
“A Bao…” Xiao Rongyan looked at Bai Qingyan solemnly, “If you are in trouble, I will not sit idly by. We can discuss everything. One person’s plan is short, two people’s plan is long. You and I can plan together. We don’t have to gamble with your safety!”
“Okay…” Bai Qingyan nodded, and then said, “The chaos in the capital city happened suddenly. You must have a lot of things to plan. You don’t have to stay here. Go back! I will take good care of my injuries. If there is anything I need… I will let Uncle Ping find you.”
After all, Xiao Rongyan and Bai Qingyan are still unmarried, so it is not right for Xiao Rongyan to stay here.
He nodded, controlled his voice and approached Bai Qingyan, whispering: “I’ll come to see you in the evening…”
Bai Qingyan shook his head: “Please take the right path, Mr. Xiao, so that the elders of the Bai family won’t find out and think that Mr. Xiao is a playboy.”
Xiao Rongyan pursed his lips: “I’ll come to see you tomorrow.”
Bai Qingyan did not refuse and nodded: “Okay…”
A cool breeze wrapped in moisture blew in from the half-open window. The flame of the lamp flickered, dimmed and then lit up again, swaying and reflecting Xiao Rongyan’s sharp facial features and deep and dark pupils.
Xiao Rongyan raised his hand and gathered a strand of hair that was stuck to Bai Qingyan’s face by sweat behind Bai Qingyan’s ear, and his eyes fell on Bai Qingyan’s overly pale lips.
“Abao, promise me that you will never risk your safety again!” Xiao Rongyan moved closer to Bai Qingyan. His deep and mellow voice was very low, with a bit of unexpected and heart-pounding pleading. His fingers gently stroked Bai Qingyan’s fair cheek and the corners of her lips.
Bai Qingyan’s accident made him feel more upset than his own accident.
Bai Qingyan looked at Xiao Rongyan, her eyelashes trembling slightly, her heartbeat speed slightly faster, causing the wound to feel both painful and numb. She gently grasped Xiao Rongyan’s strong and ridged wrist and responded, “Hmm…”
Seeing the embarrassment between her brows, Xiao Rongyan could hardly control the emotions that had been pent up in his chest.
He was overwhelmed with emotion, holding Bai Qingyan’s face and gently lifting her chin up, speaking in a very low voice and slowly: “You have to remember that it’s not only the Bai family who cares about you, but also me…”
