Chapter 1179: Chapter 1179 Provocation

Jian Dan’s injuries were not serious, but the wounds on his arms and legs were very painful, especially the one on his finger, which was excruciating.

So not long after Chu Liyuan left, Jian Dan had already begun to feel restless, unable to alleviate the pain no matter how he changed his position.

“Jian, is it really that painful?” Xia Mengjiao asked worriedly upon seeing Jian Dan’s condition.

“Mengjiao, I really want to lie to you and say it’s not painful, but I just can’t take it; it hurts so much!” Jian Dan’s body was already soaked with sweat.

“I’ll go find Mr. Chu to come and take a look at you!” Xia Mengjiao said as she stood up.

“Mengjiao, no, I don’t want Uncle to see me like this, and if you go to him like this, it will definitely affect his work, he’s here to deal with matters after all.”

“But…”

“Even if you bring Uncle here, it won’t lessen the pain in my body, so please don’t disturb him.”

“Seeing you like this really makes me feel awful!” Tears were welling up in Xia Mengjiao’s eyes.

“I think after a while when I get used to it, it will feel a lot better!” Jian Dan squeezed out a smile and said.

“You can get used to this kind of pain?” Xia Mengjiao felt somewhat helpless because of Jian Dan.

“Right, where is Zimo?” He was just here; how did he disappear all of a sudden?

“Zimo just told me that she’s planning to go back!”

“What?”

“She said there’s an emergency situation that she needs to go back and handle.”

“I…” Jian Dan began to get up.

“Jian, with your condition right now, you shouldn’t be moving around. Zimo made me promise to take good care of you!”

“It was Zimo who brought us here, and now that she’s leaving, I should at least go and see her off, shouldn’t I?”

“Just forget it! Zimo also said that the most important thing right now is to heal your wounds; everything else is trivial!”

“Mengjiao, you mimicking Zimo is pretty interesting!” Jian Dan grinned and laughed.

“You still have the mood for jokes? Lie down and rest!”

“As you command!” Only then did Jian Dan obediently lie back on the bed.

But no sooner had he laid down on the bed, an uninvited guest walked in…

“What are you here for?” Xia Mengjiao stood up and asked bluntly upon seeing who the visitor was.

When Jian Dan saw the visitor, his eyebrows briefly furrowed, then quickly returned to normal as he lifted the corners of his mouth, “Mengjiao~

How did you come? Weren’t you also injured?”

Li Wanqing approached Jian Dan’s bedside, “I was indeed injured, but under Chu Li’s care, I’ve gotten much better now.”

Hearing this, Jian Dan’s inner monologue was: Weren’t you just injured? How did you recover so quickly? If you want to lie, can’t you come up with a better excuse? When you tell such lies, are you trying to insult your own intelligence or mine?

Although Jian Dan detected the flaws in her words, he didn’t show it on his face; he smiled and said, “It was because of saving my Uncle that you got injured, so it’s only right for Uncle to take care of you a little!”

Li Wanqing’s expression flickered upon hearing Jian Dan’s magnanimous words.

“Chu Li and I have known each other for over 20 years; we understand each other very deeply, and at a critical moment, we would definitely sacrifice ourselves for the other without hesitation—that’s the understanding between us.”

Jian Dan knew this Li Wanqing must have designs on Uncle, and these thoughts weren’t new by any means.

A woman’s intuition can sometimes be just that accurate.
