nThe man was startled by Qiao Yanjue’s cold stare and hurriedly stepped back.

n

n

nHis partner shot him a glare and silently cursed, “Idiot!”

n

n

nThe man was aggrieved. Wasn’t he just trying to help relieve Qiao Yanjue’s burden?

n

n

nHis partner was speechless. How could someone be so stupid? How could he not see what was really going on?

n

n

nLooking at Qiao Yanjue, who was holding Xia Xibei in his arms, he seemed completely different from his usual ruthless self!

n

n

nBesides, this was the first time a girl had ever gotten so close to him.

n

n

nAlthough Qiao Yanjue was good-looking and was the idol of many girls, there weren’t many who dared go near him.

n

n

nHe wouldn’t be nice just because they were girls.

n

n

nQuite opposite to that, his cold attitude and violence had made lots of girls cry.

n

n

nWorse still, he was a clean freak!

n

n

nHe would despise girls just because they wore perfume!

n

n

nThat was why he was still single at the age of twenty-four!

n

n

nEven Huo Zijun was looking at Qiao Yanjue. “Have you fallen in love?”

n

n

nThey had been good friends for many years. Sure enough, he knew Qiao Yanjue’s character much better than his subordinates.

n

n

nHe was a guy that was destined to be alone!

n

n

nHowever, he was holding a little girl and refusing to let her go right now. That was very surprising.

n

n

nHe had never even treated Li Weiyun that way, a friend whom they grew up with.

n

n

nQiao Yanjue glowered at him. “What nonsense are you talking about? Save the patient first!”

n

n

nXia Xibei was so pained that she stopped being self-conscioushad lost her consciousness;, she had forgotten about being in Qiao Yanjue’s arms. All she could do was try her best to fight the pain.

n

n

nIt had been many years since she last experienced such pain; she had forgotten all about it.

n

n

nShe was devastated to be experiencing this all over again now.

n

n

n“Bring her in then,” Huo Zijun instructed while pointing at the back.

n

n

nThe next moment, he saw a scene that made his jaw drop in awe.

n

n

nQiao Yanjue lifted Xia Xibei off her feet and carried her!

n

n

n—As though she was a princess!

n

n

n“Hold on!”

n

n

nHuo Zijun shouted, but he then the next found, he noticed a streak of redness on Qiao Yanjue’s abdomen.

n

n

n“Goodness!” Huo Zijun slapped his forehead. Speechless, he asked, “Have you any idea about your own condition?”

n

n

nQiao Yanjue was shot previously. Although the bullet had been removed and his life wasn’t at risk, he still shouldn’t be using much force for the time being!

n

n

nAnd look, his wound had just been torn open!

n

n

n“Sir!”

n

n

nThe others panicked right away; one by one, they stepped forth.

n

n

n“Get out of my way!”

n

n

nQiao Yanjue said with a stern, cold face. He forgot about his own injury indeed, but it was a critical time. Did they expect him to hand Xia Xibei over?

n

n

nThey exchanged puzzled glances, but made way for him as ordered.

n

n

nQiao Yanjue walked off in wide strides with Xia Xibei in his arms.

n

n

nHuo Zijun followed behind him; he couldn’t help but shake his head and mumble softly, “Yet you said you have fallen in love, being single serves you right!”

n

n

nHowever, he didn’t plan to keep dwelling on the problem.

n

n

nSo what if Qiao Yanjue had fallen in love? Xia Xibei was just an ordinary girl; how long could his feelings last?

n

n

nEven if they really got together, it wouldn’t last long.

n

n

nThe difference between them was like the Great Rift Valley.

n

n

nThere was a room behind the herb store, and there was a bed in the room.

n

n

nQiao Yanjue placed Xia Xibei on the bed. “Go ahead.”

n

n

n“Let me help you with your wound first…”

n

n

n“No need, it’s no big deal. Treat her first!” Qiao Yanjue refused.

n

n

nHuo Zijun shot him a glare and had no choice but to treat Xia Xibei first.

n

n

nRight when he was about to prescribe medications, he saw Xia Xibei opening her eyes.

n

n

n“Help me… cook some herbs.”

n

n

nThen, she listed the names of all the herbs that were needed.

n

n

nBy the time she finished, Huo Zijun was in great awe!
