The next day.
The early morning sunlight shines on the curtains and falls on Nan Yan's face through the gaps.
The eyelashes of the sleeping woman trembled slightly, and the bright sunlight made her frown slightly. She slowly opened her eyes, but there was nothing around her.
Nan Yan woke up suddenly, only to find that Lu Huaijing was already up.
But where he had slept, there was a faint trace of blood.
wrong!
As a doctor, Nan Yan only took one look and realized that Lu Huaijing was injured.
She immediately got up and searched from room to room. Just as she was passing by the study, there was the sound of chattering inside.
Nan Yan put her hand on the door handle, hesitated for a moment, and then pressed it hard.
The moment the door opened, a faint smell of blood hit his face.
She walked in immediately and happened to see the tall and proud man, naked from the waist up, applying medicine with his back to the door.
Upon noticing the footsteps, the cotton swab in Ji Li's hand fell directly to the ground.
Lu Huaijing turned his head and when he saw Nan Yan, he also panicked and grabbed his coat.
"How did you come……"
There was a hint of panic in Lu Huaijing's voice, but Nan Yan stepped forward and grabbed him as he tried to get dressed.
"You haven't finished taking the medicine yet. What clothes are you in a hurry to wear?" Although she was surprised, she felt even more distressed.
Lu Huaijing slowly put down his coat, turned his head and said, "Ji Li, please go out first!"
"Yes!" Ji Li was eager to leave quickly.
He quickly packed up his things and left.
Nan Yan's eyes suddenly turned red when she saw the shocking wounds on Lu Huaijing's back.
"If I hadn't bumped into you today, how long would you have planned to keep this secret from me?" There was a hint of crying in her voice.
Lu Huaijing immediately held her face, gently rubbed her cheek with his fingertips, and comforted her in a low voice: "It's just a small injury. I was afraid that you would worry, so I didn't say anything..."
"Stop talking nonsense. I am a doctor or a surgeon. Do you really think I can't see anything?"
This is not a minor injury, it is clearly serious!
Nan Yan burst into tears and asked, crying, "Did you get beaten by grandpa because of what happened to me?"
In the entire Nancheng, no one except Mr. Lu would dare to touch Lu Huaijing.
Lu Huaijing sighed softly and couldn't help but smile: "Mrs. Lu, did I say that it's not good to be too smart?"
Nan Yan broke away angrily, wiped the tears on her face, then grabbed his arm and asked him to sit on the chair again.
"What's the use of being smart? Aren't you going to be fooled? Sit back quickly and I'll give you medicine!"
After saying that, Nan Yan immediately picked up a cotton swab and wiped it with iodophor to disinfect the wound.
All the man's muscular back was covered with criss-crossing whip marks. Some of the wounds had scabbed over, but most of them were still red, swollen and inflamed.
Nan Yan directly replaced the cotton swab with a cotton ball. The moment the cold liquid came into contact with the skin, the muscles all over the man's body tensed up.
This made Nan Yan, who was used to dealing with things like this, hesitate.
She quickly slowed down her movements and even gently blew on his wound twice.
"Just be patient for a little bit, it will be fine soon."
Nan Yan comforted in a low voice, and also sped up the movements of her hands. When bandaging, she wrapped it around and around.
"With so many entanglements, aren't you really making a mummy?" Lu Huaijing couldn't help teasing.
Nan Yan glared at him angrily, and he closed his mouth knowingly.
"Your wound is not completely healed yet. The bandage is to prevent the wound from being infected, but it is not airtight."
After doing all this, Nan Yan picked up the shirt on one side and helped him put it on.
She tied the buttons one by one with her own hands, but Nan Yan could no longer bear it and dropped the little pearl again.
Lu Huaijing frowned and couldn't help but said: "Wasn't it quite fierce just now? Why are you crying now?"
"It's all my fault..." Nan Yan choked, paused, and then said: "I will make it clear to grandpa personally when I go to dinner tonight."
Today is the fifteenth day, and the first and fifteenth day of every month are the days when they return to the Lu family's old house.
And last month, because Nan Yan had been recuperating in confinement, Zhou's mother made up a lie that she was on a business trip.
Nan Yan had always felt sorry for Mr. Lu because of this incident, but looking at it now, he probably already knew the truth.
Otherwise, how could Lu Huaijing be beaten?
What's more, his wounds have begun to heal. I'm afraid that the so-called business trip is just to recuperate, right?
Thinking of this, Nan Yan became even more sad.
When Lu Huaijing heard this, he immediately grabbed her catkins.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I've already made everything clear to Grandpa. His health is just getting better, so don't make any more trouble."
Nan Yan was startled, "You...you said it all?"
Lu Huaijing sighed: "Of course I didn't say anything about you. You had a miscarriage. Mother Zhou had told Grandpa about it a long time ago."
So, grandpa thinks that what she lost was the Lu family’s child?
The tears that Nan Yan had finally stopped burst into tears again.
"Why do you say that? It's obviously not——"
"Shh..." His slender fingers touched her lips.
"Whether it is or not, it is now and it will be in the future." Lu Huaijing said in a deep voice.
Nan Yan couldn't help but look up, and when their eyes met, she saw the sincerity and care in his eyes.
She hugged Lu Huaijing, tears streaming down his clothes.
"I'm sorry, Lu Huaijing..." Nan Yan said muffledly.
Lu Huaijing felt even more distressed when he heard her apologizing over and over again.
"Don't say that again in the future. You are the victim in this matter, and I am also responsible. So, don't take all the responsibility on yourself."
He spoke earnestly, but the little woman in his arms cried even harder.
Lu Huaijing had no choice but to resort to threats: "If you cry again, I will do something bad!"
As soon as these words came out, his chest was immediately hammered.
"Don't mess around!" Nan Yan's dissatisfied voice came from his arms.
Lu Huaijing finally raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "Okay, hurry up and wash your face, we have to go to grandpa's house."
"good……"
In the evening, Lu Huaijing asked Ji Li to drive them both back to their old home.
On the way, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the entire sky orange.
Nan Yan looked at the scenery outside, but her mood was a little complicated.
Lu Huaijing looked at her profile. After the operation, she had lost a lot of weight. Even with Zhou's mother's careful care, her oval face was still slim.
The light of the setting sun fell on her face, passing through the thick black hair, making her already glowing white skin even more brilliant.
And she seemed to be worried, frowning slightly, and there was a trace of sadness in her eyebrows.
"What are you thinking about?" Lu Huaijing couldn't help but ask.
Nan Yan turned around and said hesitantly: "If you go to grandpa's place, I'm afraid you will see Lu Weiyan again..."
