Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Concern Leads to Chaos

"Miss just went in like that?" Cheng Shi incredulously looked towards Wang Meijuan.

"Yes, without resistance. Did you see that? I told you, Miss must be fond of Mr. Leng. Just look at how determined she was just now; even a few bulls couldn’t hold her back, only Mr. Leng could calm her down."

"Hmm, quite obedient, not bad," Granny Yu nodded her head in great satisfaction.

Immediately after, the three turned and entered the kitchen.

...

Meanwhile, in the dining room.

"Is it here, the place that got hurt?" Leng Lingxiao intently stared into Tang Xiaowan’s eyes, but his hand pointed towards the area near her left collarbone.

The scar was already faint, very light.

Through her clothes, Leng Lingxiao naturally couldn’t see it, but he knew it was there.

"Huahua, what... what are you doing?"

As soon as she spoke, Leng Lingxiao swiftly walked to the dining table, grabbed the hunting knife, and plunged it into his shoulder; blood gushed out in an instant.

"Now do you believe me?"

"Are you insane? Meijuan, Meijuan, quickly get the first aid kit, hurry up, Huahua is hurt, hold on, it won’t be serious."

After a loud shout, the three people outside quickly dispersed, but they soon rushed back into the dining room.

"Tangtang, I’m sorry."

Tang Xiaowan soothed, "I know, it’s okay, it’s okay, not good, you need to go to the hospital, that knife isn’t clean, just now..."

"No need." Leng Lingxiao straight pulled out the chair to sit down, then immediately withdrew the hunting knife.

"Scream if it hurts!"

"It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt."

"Let’s go to the hospital, Huahua, okay?"

Leng Lingxiao still shook his head.

"Miss, don’t worry, I’ll handle it well," Wang Meijuan said, as she began to undo Leng Lingxiao’s gray shirt.

With his torso bared, two shocking scars were visible, which seemed to have been there for some years. Tang Xiaowan felt a familiar pang but couldn’t quite place it.

"Huahua, your injury..."

Her right hand slowly lifted, then lowered again.

Leng Lingxiao comforted, "It’s okay, it’s already healed."

"Okay? You call this okay, bleeding so much, now there’s another new wound. Were you just putting on a self-torture act for me to see?"

"That’s not it, really it isn’t."

He was just guilt-ridden by the nighttime attack and in a moment of desperation, eager to regain Tang Xiaowan’s trust.

"That’s what it is, it totally is!"

Although Tang Xiaowan said that, her heart was already aching unbearably.

After all, tears can’t lie.

Just a few days ago, while chatting about swimming, Cheng Shi mentioned that Leng Lingxiao had twice saved her life.

These two scars, perhaps that’s it!

All those images in her mind were true, Huahua really did often accompany me in playing pranks, climbing walls and trees together, sneaking out of Mei Garden to play.

We truly were inseparable, beyond gender!

years, a whole 15 years, and I only had Huahua as a playmate, a friend.

Thinking this, Tang Xiaowan involuntarily held Leng Lingxiao’s hand, but she didn’t dare to look; turning her back instead, for the stitching was about to begin.

"It’s okay Tangtang, just two stitches, won’t hurt a bit."

"Nonsense, how could it not hurt?"

Tang Xiaowan’s tears once again streamed out uncontrollably.

"It really doesn’t hurt, please stop crying."

"Huahua, you’ve been so good to me, why..." Tang Xiaowan paused, then continued, "why did you leave me to go to Country Y? Do you know, when I woke up that day, there was no one by my side, I didn’t even know who I was?"

Leng Lingxiao’s eyes reddened as he said, "I’m sorry, it’s all my fault for not being there by your side."

Granny Yu smiled and nodded her head.

The young lady is trying to distract herself, that’s good, they’re getting more in tune with each other!

Cheng Shi, on the other hand, clenched his fists tightly.

That day he was also not there, he had gone down the mountain.

Lin Xiaoxiao had sent him to buy pig trotters, and told him that the young lady suddenly wanted to eat them, making a fuss about it.

I was actually deceived by Lin Xiaoxiao.

At that time, the young lady had already lost her memory, how could she possibly have wanted to eat the charcoal-grilled pig trotters from the entrance of Qingcheng University.

It must have been her, she betrayed the young lady!

"Miss, actually that day..."

Before Cheng Shi could finish his words, Leng Lingxiao suddenly interrupted, "Tangtang, that day it was because I received an overseas call that said they had found your mother, and I wanted to give you a surprise, but it turned out to be a trap, I’m sorry, there won’t be a second time. Trust me once more, okay?"

Tang Xiaowan frowned, "What are you talking about? You went to Country Y that day to help me find my mother?"

"Yes, but unfortunately I was tricked," Leng Lingxiao said with a painful smile as he tried to bear the pain from his wound.

"Ah, concerned to the point of confusion, they just took advantage of this, set up the trap, and just waited for you to jump in," Granny Yu sighed, with a knowing look.

"Granny Yu, are you perhaps..." Cheng Shi started to say something but then hesitated.

Granny Yu shook her head, "If I had known, there would be so many complications. When the old lady dismissed everyone back then, I should have insisted on staying, to stay at Mei Garden with the young lady."

By now, Wang Meijuan had finished bandaging the wound.

She hadn’t uttered a word during the recent conversation, concentrating entirely on treating the wound, her dexterous movements astonishing Cheng Shi.

"Mr. Leng, it’s done," Wang Meijuan said respectfully.

"Good, you all go out," he ordered.

After saying that, Granny Yu and the others immediately left.

Leng Lingxiao put his shirt back on, although it was already stained with blood, he didn’t want Tang Xiaowan to see those two ugly scars again.

The visual impact was too strong!

"Tangtang, you didn’t eat enough just now, right? Come on, I’ll take you for a stroll, let’s see..."

"Why do they all listen to you like that, making it seem like... you’re the owner of Mei Garden?" Tang Xiaowan asked with suspicion.

"Just basking in your glory, they are giving you face."

As Leng Lingxiao spoke, he slowly got up, preparing to go to the display cabinet to get the car keys.

Tang Xiaowan quickly walked several steps and directly blocked his way, "You’ve just had stitches, why are you running around, does it not hurt anymore?"

"Right, it doesn’t hurt at all."

"The knife wound isn’t deep, right?"

"Right, it’s not deep."

Watching Leng Lingxiao pretend to be calm, Tang Xiaowan pursed her lips, itching to punch his wound to let him know the serious consequences of feigning toughness.

How could it not be deep, I’m not blind!

It’s flesh, not copper walls or iron barricades, do you think I’ll be reassured by that?

Such a self-righteous idiot!

"Go back and sit properly."

"Tangtang, it really doesn’t hurt, I’ll be fine. I estimate in a couple of days... I can still take you around the world," Leng Lingxiao joked with a laugh, actually in excruciating pain.

He didn’t want Tang Xiaowan to worry.

"Psh, as if it doesn’t hurt! Just behave yourself, there will be consequences if you dare to move again."

"Tangtang, what... what are you going to do?"

"Don’t move, sit down properly."

As soon as Tang Xiaowan finished speaking, she picked up a leg of lamb and headed to the kitchen, also taking the Nanhong Hunting Knife with her without even looking back.

Her black hair swayed slightly at her slender waist, making her look very playful and cute.

Seeing this, Leng Lingxiao shouted.

"Hey, Tangtang student, remember not to put chili when frying, or it’ll affect the wound and cause it to inflame, then it will also affect me driving you to school."

When Tang Xiaowan heard this, she turned around and came back.

"Huahua student, I regret to inform you, the stir-fried lamb is for me to eat. You’re wounded and cannot enjoy such a blessing, just stick to noodles," she announced.

"Then make lots of it for me, I want a big bowl, maybe add a fried egg or something."

"Stop nagging, got it."

Hearing this response, Leng Lingxiao smiled contentedly and quickly straightened up to sit properly.
