After Escaping Marriage, She Intrudes into the Dominance of the Tycoon
Chapter 30

Su Ningxi's wound from earlier in the day happened to bump into the corner of the table, hurting so much that she almost cried out.

Huo Yuheng had not expected her to suddenly bump into it. Seeing her pained expression, he wanted to go over to help her up, but ultimately retracted his outstretched hand, his face regaining its previous coldness.

Mrs. Wang reacted the fastest, immediately helping Su Ningxi up. "Young mistress, are you alright?!"

Gritting her teeth, Su Ningxi said, "It's fine, just that my leg is probably crippled now."

With a worried look, Mrs. Wang said, "What does it look like? We should go to the hospital and get it looked at!"

Su Ningxi declined. "No need. I'll be fine after resting for a bit. I'm going upstairs first." Enduring the pain, Su Ningxi limped towards the stairs.

Seeing this, Huo Yuchen furrowed his brows. He went over and lifted her up by the waist.

"What are you doing?" Su Ningxi was so frightened that she reflexively hugged his neck tightly.

"Behave yourself. Do you want everyone to know our relationship is fake?" Huo Yuchen warned in her ear.

Huo Yuchen's breath tickled Su Ningxi's ear, making her cheeks secretly flush red. Her whole body was rigid and extremely uneasy in his arms.

Wait, what did he just say? Only after a delayed reaction did she realize that he was acting. No wonder she thought it was strange that he was suddenly so kind. Hmph... Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ NøᴠᴇlFire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Very unfortunately, this scene was seen by Tang Chen, who was coming down the stairs. From his angle, it looked like Huo Yuchen was kissing Su Ningxi's ear. Originally still drowsy, he immediately became spirited and teased with a smile:

"Yo! What's going on here? When getting intimate, can you consider us single dogs' feelings?"

Huo Yuchen shot him a fierce glare. Frightened, Tang Chen immediately shut his mouth.

Then Huo Yuchen said, "Bring the first aid kit over."

"First aid kit? Sister-in-law is injured?" Tang Chen looked Su Ningxi up and down as he spoke.

Su Ningxi said, "I accidentally bumped into the table."

She then said to Huo Yuchen, "Put me down. My injury isn't serious, it doesn't need treatment."

Huo Yuchen gave her a warning look.

Not daring to struggle anymore, Su Ningxi simply gave up and relaxed. Getting a free ride upstairs wasn't bad.

Huo Yuchen carried Su Ningxi directly to the master bedroom bed. Tang Chen then came over with the first aid kit.

When Su Ningxi rolled up her pants leg, revealing her injured knee, she sucked in a breath from the pain. The bandage she had wrapped earlier was completely soaked with blood.

Shocked, Tang Chen said, "Sister-in-law, how did you get hurt so badly?"

She said she bumped into a table. This was clearly an old wound with a new one! And it looked quite serious too.

Huo Yuchen's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly, but soon returned to normal.

Su Ningxi sighed. Looking at her bloody knee, she didn't want to get hurt so badly either! This was from climbing a tree to escape in the tiger park earlier. At that time she didn't feel anything, but after getting home found that she had bled a lot and it was also terribly painful. Just now it got bumped again. Sigh!

But she wouldn't tell the truth. She just said, "I tripped and fell in the yard this morning. It was no big deal at first, but then I bumped it on the table again tonight."

After speaking, she glanced at Huo Yuchen, wondering if he believed it. He should know about her near miss with the tiger earlier since Bai Zhi was his subordinate and must have told him! But if he knew, why didn't he reprimand her?

"You didn't treat this very well!" And it looks quite serious from the amount of blood.

While speaking, Tang Chen carefully unwrapped the bandage. The wound beneath was shocking - a large patch of skin was missing, and the area around the wound was swollen.

"It's infected. I'll disinfect it first." Tang Chen picked up a cotton swab, dipped it in disinfectant, and was about to apply it to Su Ningxi's leg when she jerked back.

Tang Chen said, "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, it won't hurt much."

Su Ningxi nervously stretched her leg back out and urged, "Be gentle, okay?"

She wasn't being pretentious, she really feared pain.

Tang Chen reassured, "Don't worry!"

"Ah..." Su Ningxi suddenly screamed with eyes closed.

Rendered speechless, Tang Chen said, "Sister-in-law, I haven't touched you yet."

Hearing this, Su Ningxi opened her eyes. Both men were looking at her. Her face immediately turned red and she smiled awkwardly. "Is that so? Then it must be because my wound hurts too much."

Gritting her teeth, she stretched her leg back out and squeezed her eyes shut tight. If she couldn't see it, then it wouldn't hurt.

A few minutes later, Tang Chen took off his disposable gloves and said, "It's a superficial wound, no bone damage. Disinfect the wound once a day to prevent infection, get plenty of rest, and it'll be better in a few days."

Su Ningxi nodded and said thanks.

Looking at her knee re-bandaged by Tang Chen, it did look much better. As expected of a professional.

After leaving, Tang Chen suggestively looked at Huo Yuchen and urged, "Bro, sister-in-law is injured, so go easy in that area."

Having only been here two days, he didn't know they slept in separate rooms. And Huo Yuchen had just carried Su Ningxi to the master bedroom.

Hearing this, Huo Yuchen's face darkened. He kicked out and sent Tang Chen away with two words: "Scram!"

Cradling the first aid kit in one hand and his butt in the other, Tang Chen scrammed smoothly.

Inside, after lying down for a bit, Su Ningxi suddenly realized she hadn't eaten dinner yet. But with her leg injury, going downstairs wasn't convenient. She didn't want to either.

Just then, Mrs. Wang knocked and entered, carrying food with mouthwatering aromas that filled the entire room.

Su Ningxi felt like her mouth was watering. She crawled out of bed wanting to get down, but Mrs. Wang came over to support her. "Young mistress, your leg is injured, don't move."

Very quickly, Mrs. Wang handed the food to Su Ningxi.

While eating, Su Ningxi said, "Mrs. Wang, you're so nice to remember I haven't eaten."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "If you want to thank someone, thank the young master! It was the young master who told me to bring this up."

Su Ningxi looked disbelief. "He's so kindhearted?"

Mrs. Wang added, "Don't let his usual cold, inapproachable manner fool you. The young master is very kindhearted!"

Su Ningxi didn't say anything more as she looked at the food before her, unable to imagine him being so thoughtful.

Meanwhile in Huo Yuheng's room:

"Brother, why are you here? ...How is she?" Huo Yuheng asked extremely awkwardly. He clearly disliked that woman, but thinking of her pained expression earlier, he still asked.

Huo Yuchen didn't answer his question, instead looking at him and asking in return, "Do you really dislike her that much?"

Huo Yuheng pressed his lips together, not denying it. "Yes, she's not worthy of you."

"Whether she is worthy or not, she is still your sister-in-law."

"But..."

Huo Yuchen cut him off. Staring at him with eyes that seemed to see through everything, "No buts. I don't want what happened today to happen a second time."

Huo Yuheng's heart thudded. Could he know about what happened earlier in the day?

But he didn't admit it, feigning ignorance. "You were there too. Her getting hurt wasn't entirely my fault."

Huo Yuchen said, "You know what I'm talking about?"

Huo Yuheng's eyes were full of guilt. "You already know."

"Don't forget, this is my villa. Nothing can escape my notice."

"She's fine, isn't she! I only wanted to scare her a little." Huo Yuheng had an indifferent attitude.

Fine?

Huo Yuchen thought of the injury on Su Ningxi's knee. To be hurt that badly could be called fine?

And that was the tiger park. If not for Bai Zhi noticing in time, the consequences would be unthinkable. This younger brother was getting more and more unruly.

"Stay home and reflect these next few days. You're not allowed to go anywhere without my permission."

Huo Yuheng complained, "You're treating your own brother this way for that woman?"

Huo Yuchen ignored him and directly left.
