Chapter 448: Chapter 446 You’re Still Speeding!_1

"Miss... are you okay?" The person finally ran to Xiaoxiao’s side and crouched down.

Xiaoxiao was in so much pain that sweat was beading on her forehead; she turned her head to look at the person crouching beside her.

Seeing the pain on her face, he scooped her up and stuffed her into the car without hesitation.

"What are you doing..." she murmured in pain.

"I’m taking you to the hospital..." Then he swiftly fastened her seatbelt with a snap and shut the car door, leaving Xiaoxiao no chance to speak.

After hearing his words, Xiaoxiao did not object, because she felt that the pain in her knee was so intense that it was probably a severe injury.

The man’s actions were very quick; after sitting in the passenger seat, he stepped on the gas and flew out at once.

Xiaoxiao was not paying attention, and her body suddenly lunged forward.

Fortunately, her reflexes were quick, and she reached out to steady herself on the door handle, or else she would have hit the windshield.

"Can’t you drive slower!" Xiaoxiao felt that this man had no sense of safety. Getting hit by his car was bad enough, and now in the car, she thought she would suffer another blow; the anger within her was instantly provoked.

Startled by her yelling, the man seemed to freeze for a moment, then he slowed down the car.

Xiaoxiao glanced at the speedometer and said again, "You’re still speeding!"

Left with no choice, the man had to reduce his speed even more, making sure not to exceed the speed limit.

However, for Xiaoxiao, even this reduced speed felt too fast, especially since it was not yet eight o’clock, and the roads were busiest with vehicles and pedestrians. She wondered what he was thinking, driving so fast!

She definitely did not think he was speeding just to get her to a doctor, because at the very moment she was hit, she felt his car surge forward like an arrow!

"I’m getting dizzy, go slower..."

The man’s heart skipped a beat. Dizziness – she couldn’t have hit her head, could she? But she had been holding her knee the whole time, hadn’t she?

With no other option, he continued to slow down...

It was only then that Xiaoxiao felt relieved inside. As her nerves relaxed, the pain in her leg became excruciating!

She furrowed her brows tightly, sensing a layer of fine sweat on her forehead. She extended her hands and massaged her knee back and forth methodically.

"I’m sorry... I really didn’t see anyone in front of me just now, why did you suddenly appear out of nowhere?" the man asked, extremely conflicted.

Xiaoxiao looked up at the sky speechlessly – was he saying she suddenly appeared out of nowhere?

"It was clearly you who popped out of nowhere, okay?" she said angrily, accusing the man of victim-shaming.

"Alright, alright! It was me who popped out first, don’t get worked up..."

Xiaoxiao’s temples throbbed with irritation; this man really had the talent to rile up the stubbornness deep within her bones!

Anger made her entire leg tremble with pain, and she closed her eyes...

"Please hurry, I think my leg is going to break..."

The man’s heart trembled, and then he was covered in cold sweat; what did she mean, to speed up or not?

Forget it, just speed up a bit...

Upon arriving at the hospital, Xiaoxiao was again hastily carried by the man into the emergency department – yes, he went straight to the emergency department!

She touched her forehead in disbelief; did she look like she was on the verge of death?

"Doctor, please take a look at her! Does she need surgery, or should the bone be set?"

Xiaoxiao was rendered speechless for a moment, although her studies were in traditional Chinese medicine, she could still tell whether an injury to the leg required surgery or not.

Why did this man always seem to have an element of intimidation in the way he spoke?

"Sir, please don’t be anxious. We need to take an X-ray first before we can make a preliminary determination. However, based on this young lady’s condition, it seems that surgery might not be necessary..."

"That’s great, that’s great..." Someone sighed a huge sigh of relief.

After the results came out, Xiaoxiao herself couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, a patellar contusion, luckily it wasn’t a fracture...

"The doctor said you might need to be hospitalized for a week. Don’t worry, I will cover all the medical expenses. And then there’s the matter of how much you want me to compensate for your emotional distress and the salary you’ll lose because you can’t work. Please don’t be shy, just name your price..." The man stood at the bedside, speaking with an imposing air.

It was then Xiaoxiao finally looked up to get a clear view of the man’s appearance.

He was tall, easily 1.85 meters, and also very thin, the kind of tall and slim that didn’t make him look frail but rather that this was the perfect build for him.

He had short, tousled hair, with bangs that swept stylishly to the right side below his ear, looking extremely elegant.

He was devilishly handsome because he had a pair of captivating peach blossom eyes, with slender eyebrows that held a soft undulation, as if he was always smiling, curved, like the crescent of a waxing moon in the night sky.

Pale skin accented light peach-colored lips, handsome and striking facial features, a perfect face shape, and especially the dazzling diamond earring in his left ear added a touch of rebelliousness to his charming and attractive demeanor.

"You don’t have to... you can go now..." It wasn’t entirely his fault, he had already changed lanes when his car flew by. So, there was no need for him to compensate.

"Huh?" Her words seemed to catch the man off guard.

"It’s not entirely your fault, I also ran a light, so there’s no need for you to compensate. You can go now..." Xiaoxiao repeated calmly with an indifferent expression.

Someone was even more astonished now; it was the first time he’d encountered someone so pure and ungreedy.

Looking at her pure and beautiful face, he suddenly became interested.

"My name is Zhuo Shaoqing. What’s yours?"

Xiaoxiao glanced at him and responded lightly, "Xiaoxiao..."

"Miss Na... do you have any idea how much money you just lost with that statement?" Zhuo Shaoqing said with a playful look on his face.

Xiaoxiao frowned, "Isn’t it good that I didn’t cause you any loss?"

Zhuo Shaoqing arched an eyebrow, intrigued. It was the first time he had come across someone so interesting. However, he never liked to be indebted to anyone; he really did hit her, regardless of how it happened, so he definitely had to take care of the medical expenses.

"Where is your family? I should give them a call, and also apologize in person..."

Xiaoxiao’s eyes suddenly dimmed and fell, and then she spoke softly, "They’re not here..."

"Oh... what about your boyfriend?" He presumed that someone as pretty and innocent as her would have a boyfriend.

Xiaoxiao’s heart gave a sharp twinge, and then she silently shook her head.

Zhuo Shaoqing raised his eyebrows in surprise. No? This was truly beyond his expectations.

"What about your friends? Should I call them over to come to see you?" She had to have friends, right?

Xiaoxiao sighed involuntarily. Should she tell Shanshan? If Shanshan knew about it, she would surely kick up a fuss.

Zhuo Shaoqing saw her expression and immediately broke into laughter.

"Forget it... it’s late, and since your injury isn’t that serious, I’ll take care of you for these few days..."

Xiaoxiao suddenly looked up, her clear, water-like eyes fixed tightly on Zhuo Shaoqing who stood by the bed, feeling an unbidden sourness in her heart. The word ’care’ was, unexpectedly, coming from a stranger.
