Chapter 170: 170. There are fewer people here, so it’s not embarrassing

Hearing this, Qiao Xu’s face stiffened, and her expression became even colder. However, she didn’t dare to make a fuss with Lu Moqing anymore. Instead, she stared at him with cold, ferocious eyes.

"That’s better."

Lu Moqing’s lips curled up in satisfaction as he carried Qiao Xu to the car.

Qiao Xu’s foot was hurting more and more, and she had no intention to argue with Lu Moqing. She could only let him drive her to a nearby orthopedic hospital.

"Fortunately, the bone hasn’t shifted, but the ankle ligament is injured, and you can’t walk for now."

The doctor put down the X-ray film and applied a special ointment on her foot. He then wrapped her ankle with several layers of gauze and said, "After you go home, you can’t walk for a week. The place with the gauze cannot get wet. Come back for a follow-up in a week."

"Alright, thank you, doctor."

Qiao Xu was carried by Lu Moqing all the way to the doctor’s office, attracting many curious glances. When they were about to leave, she looked at Lu Moqing and said, "Don’t carry me out again, I still have my dignity!"

Lu Moqing paused, then chuckled, "What’s so shameful about being carried by your own husband?"

Qiao Xu: "..."

She clenched her teeth and stood in the doctor’s office, confronting Lu Moqing. Clearly, she wouldn’t leave unless he agreed to her terms.

Lu Moqing had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender, "Fine, fine, fine, I won’t carry you. Is that good enough?"

Only then did Qiao Xu take back her gaze with satisfaction. Unable to step on her injured foot, she could only hop against the wall. When she jumped, however, her left foot shook, causing her to involuntarily frown in pain.

Lu Moqing followed by her side and saw her pale yet stubborn face. He felt both angry and a trace of heartache. Not wanting to tease her any further, he said, "If I can’t carry you, at least let me help you walk, alright?"

Qiao Xu wanted to refuse but knew that she couldn’t leave the hospital without Lu Moqing’s help. She could only nod begrudgingly.

Looking at her stubborn appearance, Lu Moqing sighed helplessly and came forward. He put one arm around her shoulder and the other around her hand, trying his best to transfer her weight to his body to ease the stress on her foot.

Because of the pain in her foot, Qiao Xu subconsciously leaned on Lu Moqing to reduce the weight on her injured foot.

Lu Moqing, who was supporting her, noticed her subconscious action and glanced at her quietly, a faint smile curving up the corners of his lips.

Despite Lu Moqing’s assistance, Qiao Xu still struggled to walk. She had barely reached the entrance of the orthopedic building when cold sweat was already forming on her forehead.

Suddenly, she felt lighter as Lu Moqing picked her up. She turned to glare at him, "You..."

"There are fewer people here, so it’s not embarrassing."

Lu Moqing interrupted her with a teasing tone and carried her all the way to the parking spot, ignoring her furious gaze.

"Be careful not to hurt yourself again."

Lu Moqing carefully placed her on the back seat of the car. His voice was much softer and more concerned than before.

Qiao Xu hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously looked up at Lu Moqing. At this moment, he was helping her fasten her seat belt, his perfect side profile falling into her line of sight.

His short hair slightly covered his cold eyes and eyebrows, making it difficult for Qiao Xu to see his expression clearly. However, observing his side profile from such a close distance seemed much warmer compared to before.
