After Divorcing, She Shocked the World - Chapter 285
Chapter 285: Can You Bear to Leave?
Bi Fang placed the medicinal cuisine on the dining table. The fragrance assailed the nostrils.
Pitifully sitting beside her, Bi Fang begged for mercy,”Junior Sister, out of respect for Grandpa and Auntie, please don’t blame me.”
Wu Mei’s anger had long since dissipated due to hunger. Her mood for interrogating Bi Fang had long since disappeared.
After all, Bi Fang was not the one who broke the agreement.
After Wu Mei drank the first mouthful of soup, Bi Fang immediately heaved an exaggerated sigh of relief, as if a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
Li Nanchen reached out and pulled Bi Fang to the side. He then sat beside Wu Mei and took the bowl from the servant.
Old Master Li looked at Wu Mei lovingly. When he turned to Li Nanchen, he said fiercely, “Come to my study room later.”
“Okay!” Li Nanchen swiftly agreed.
After Old Master Li went upstairs, Wu Mei whispered into Li Nanchen’s ear, “What’s the matter with Grandpa?”
Li Nanchen wasn’t too sure either. He only shook his head slightly at Wu Mei, reassuring her not to worry.
He believed that it was because of this incident.
After all, the elders already knew that he and Wu Mei were in danger, so it was inevitable for them to be worried. It was also necessary to teach them a lesson afterwards.
After the meal, Bi Fang accompanied Mother Wu to the courtyard, saying that he wanted to go out for a walk.
Mother Wu agreed to Bi Fang’s request and smiled gently. However, her lonely expression revealed her worries.
Wu Mei noticed this and immediately said, “Mom, come back to the room with me.”
At this moment, Bi Fang stood up and got behind Mother Wu. He said to Wu Mei, “Junior Sister, go back to your room and have a good rest.”
Mother Wu was afraid that Wu Mei would object, so she immediately added, “Mei’er, don’t worry.”
Wu Mei noticed a flicker in Mother Wu’s eyes, as if she felt guilty about something she’d done in the past and didn’t know how to face Wu Mei.
If this wasn’t handled properly, it would become an emotional knot.
Wu Mei wanted to undo that knot, but Mother Wu always ran away and hid. She could only ask Bi Fang for help.
“Sorry to trouble you!” Wu Mei’s heart sank as she forced out a smile.
Bi Fang sighed and looked away from Wu Mei to Mother Wu. “Auntie, let’s go.”
In the blink of an eye, only Wu Mei was left in the dining room.
Wu Mei shook her head helplessly and left the table. She let out a self-deprecating smile and said, “Everyone is very busy. I am the only one who is free.”
She returned to her room and headed straight to the bathroom.
The clothes she had changed out of smelled like disinfectant.
Wu Mei turned on the shower and stood under the water, humming as she washed herself. Her mind, which was originally empty, kept thinking about what had happened.
There were only two things left to worry about.
Mo Li has fled somewhere.
It wasn’t normal that she couldn’t contact K.
When Wu Mei reached for the towel beside her, she felt a cool breeze in the humid air.’
Someone has entered the bathroom?
Her expression was extremely cold as she quickly grabbed the towel and wrapped it around her body. Then, she lifted her leg and kicked the person who entered.
That person swiftly blocked her kick and used his other hand to hug her waist, pressing her against the wall. “Wu Mei, can you please take care of yourself?”
Only then did Wu Mei realize that the person who had entered was Li Nanchen.
This is the Li Family’s villa.
The killers can’t get in.
“Why are you so fierce? I’m so scared from listening to you.” Wu Mei saw his angry expression and felt guilty. She immediately leaned into his arms.
Acting cute today was not going to work.
Li Nanchen carried her and walked out of the bathroom. When he reached the bed, he was about to throw her out.
Of course, Wu Mei knew that Li Nanchen wouldn’t be that harsh, but she still instinctively stretched out her arms and wrapped them around his neck. She closed her eyes and said, “Nanchen, I’m scared.”
“Do you know what fear is?” Li Nanchen asked with a cold smile.
“You showered even when you’re injured. It’ll get infected.”
“You could have pretended to compromise when you sensed someone coming in. Why did you attack? What if you fell?”
Wu Mei instinctively wanted to retort, but when she stole a glance at Li Nanchen’s reddened face, she felt increasingly guilty. She immediately leaned in and kissed his cheek.
Li Nanchen was still angry and was about to throw Wu Mei down. “This move is not going to work.”
“Aiyo, my wound hurts.” Wu Mei immediately frowned, as if the pain was unbearable.
Li Nanchen’s face fell. He couldn’t care less about his earlier emotions and hurriedly asked, “Did your wound touch water? I’ll go get Bi Fang.”
How could Wu Mei let go of Li Nanchen? She hugged him even tighter. “Mr Li, I’m already in so much pain. Can you bear to leave?”
“You have to help me change my dressing.”
Realization dawned on Li Nanchen that this was another of Wu Mei’s tactics to coax him.
He smiled and leaned closer to Wu Mei.
Wu Mei cooperated, but Li Nanchen threw her onto the bed and turned to leave.
She panicked and immediately reached out to hug Li Nanchen. She said softly, “Don’t be angry. I was just kidding.”
Li Nanchen pushed her hand away and said resignedly, “I’m going to get the first aid kit.”
Wu Mei watched as he left and came back. She took the initiative to extend her injured arm. “Sorry to trouble you, President Li.”
The entire process of changing the dressing went very smoothly.
This small injury was nothing to Li Nanchen and Wu Mei, who had experienced danger before.
However, because they already had each other…
After Li Nanchen treated her wound, Wu Mei immediately held onto Li Nanchen’s shoulder and leaned over..
