Chapter 312: Chapter 196: Am I Not Someone Else?_2

Song Qiao, however, spoke out, "Aren’t you human?"

"Do I count as someone else?" Ignoring that this woman was still in the mood to joke, Lu Jingchen directly retorted.

"Yes, you are not someone else." She did not argue, letting him pry open her clenched fist. Just now, due to the intense pain in her back, to distract herself, she had been digging her nails into the palm of her hand, and she could still feel the stickiness there, seemingly having bled.

She didn’t dwell on it further, nor did Song Qiao consider any longer what exactly Lu Tianming thought of her, as her back was truly making her suffer, that kind of scorching pain.

Her palm was opened, revealing the bloody marks, prompting Lu Jingchen’s brows to subconsciously furrow, but in the next second, he took her hand, opened it, and gently blew on it, giving soft, focused breaths.

Seeing Lu Jingchen like this, Song Qiao felt a bit dazed. The occasions when he showed deep affection were few, but she had caught one or two glimpses of it. It was undeniable that this man was very attractive, especially when he was affectionate, it was hard not to sink into it, as if she was the only one in his world.

Song Qiao felt that her being immersed in this man’s tenderness was not without reason. After all, any woman pampered like this by a man would find her heart softening over time.

"Jingchen, the doctor is here. Let him have a look at Song Qiao," just then, the bedroom door was opened again, and Xu Qian entered with a doctor, speaking up.

Xu Qian walked in to see her son on one knee by the bed, blowing on the hand of the woman upon it, her face donning an incredulous shock.

She knew her son better than anyone; he was always the stoic iceberg, not once had he ever been like this with any woman. She knew her son’s temper inside out. How could he show such a tender side to a woman?

Even his expression was focused and devout.

From the very first moment she saw Song Qiao, Xu Qian inexplicably liked this girl, and seeing her standing next to her son, they just seemed to fit together effortlessly.

Aside from the possibility that the family backgrounds may not match, many other aspects seemed quite good.

At first, she thought that Jingchen casually brought someone back to fool her, but now it appeared not to be the case.

Song Qiao snapped back to reality, and as soon as she looked up, she locked eyes with Lu Jingchen’s deep gaze, causing her to space out again until he got up to make way for the doctor, after which she regained her senses.

The doctor brought by Xu Qian had been the private family doctor of the Lu Family for more than a decade, looking to be in his forties.

The doctor’s eyes landed on Song Qiao’s back soaked with tea, his brows furrowed slightly, and he directly said to Lu Jingchen, "Young Master, this lady’s clothing might need to be cut open with scissors since the burn area seems rather extensive."

Upon hearing the doctor’s words, Lu Jingchen’s brows tightened, clearly displeased at the thought that another man would see Song Qiao’s back, particularly because once the dress was cut, it might reveal more than intended.

But seeing Song Qiao’s pained expression made him hesitate.

Xu Qian had been standing there all along, understanding the doctor’s words, hastily stepped forward and said, "Jingchen, why don’t I and the maid help Song Qiao change? We still have plenty of An’an’s clothes here."

Lu Jingchen, after listening to his mother, finally nodded.

Quickly, Xu Qian personally went to Lu An’an’s room and brought back a set of clothes. Lu An’an usually lived here, and many clothes still had their tags on, being the latest styles of the year.

Xu Qian didn’t pick those with tags, as the unworn clothes hadn’t been washed. They usually wash new clothes before wearing them.

Lu Jingchen originally wanted to stay and help Song Qiao change, but his mother did not let him stay. Since Song Qiao was a woman, his presence would make it awkward for everyone.

"My mom will help you change; if it hurts, just bear with it, alright? And don’t pinch your palm again, okay? Understand?" Lu Jingchen leaned over to touch Song Qiao’s long hair, his voice gentle.

Song Qiao, looking at Lu Jingchen’s handsome face, suddenly felt that he seemed a bit long-winded, but it felt rather nice. She tugged at the corners of her mouth, trying to show a faint smile, "I get it..."

Lu Jingchen bent down and kissed her forehead lightly, "Be good."

Then, he stood up and walked out with the doctor.

Once her son had left, Xu Qian let the maid carefully prop up Song Qiao, trying not to touch her wound, and then she found scissors to cut through the clothes, as pulling the dress off might rub the fabric against the wound, making it even more painful.

To divert Song Qiao’s attention, Xu Qian began cutting moderately delightfully, "This is the first time I’ve seen Jingchen be so gentle with a girl, and so focused too."

Upon hearing Xu Qian’s words, Song Qiao was momentarily startled, enduring the scorching pain on her back, "Actually, he’s really nice."
