Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Afraid he might get angry, even more afraid he might misunderstand.

At this moment, Han Xi hated Han Siyu as well.

After walking out of the ward, Han Xi forced herself not to cry. Instead of going back to the office, she left the hospital directly, hailed a taxi at the hospital entrance, and returned to her former residence.

In the ward, Li Chenghao stood dazedly for a long time. When he chased after her, Han Xi was already gone, and there was no one in the office either.

Worried that something might happen to Han Xi, he anxiously went back to the ward to change his clothes and prepared to go look for her. He called Li Manman, explained the situation briefly, and asked her to help find Han Xi.

On the phone, Li Manman berated Li Chenghao, saying she would settle the score with him after finding Han Xi.

From start to finish, Han Siyu just sat there quietly, neither arguing with Li Chenghao nor causing a scene, as if everything that had just happened was unrelated to her.

After hanging up the phone, Li Manman directly dialed Han Xi’s cell phone, but it showed that it was turned off.

Her heart was racing with anxiety, but she didn’t dare call Lu Jinghan, so she grabbed the car keys on the table and drove out to search.

Li Manman sped all the way, went to Lu Jinghan’s villa, and Sister Zhang said Han Xi hadn’t returned from work. She went to the café Han Xi often visited but found no one there; she even checked the bar from that night, thinking Han Xi might have gone for a drink, but still didn’t see a trace of her.

Li Manman drove around aimlessly on the streets, genuinely worried something might happen to the girl; she searched everywhere possible... except for Han Xi’s previous villa, which she hadn’t yet checked.

Thinking this, Li Manman floored the accelerator.

About twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the gate of Han Xi’s former villa. Li Manman got out and stood at the door, desperately pressing the doorbell, anxiously muttering, "Please be home, please be home..."

After pressing for about five or six minutes, Han Xi finally opened the door. Seeing Han Xi’s eyes already red and swollen from crying and her lips... covered in bite marks and traces of blood, Li Manman felt a strong urge to confront Li Chenghao.

Han Xi lowered her head, staggered over to the sofa in the living room, and sat down, clutching her bent legs tightly, not saying a word, only shedding tears continuously.

"Xiao Xi, don’t cry. I’ll definitely deal with that jerk Li Chenghao for you."

Li Manman really couldn’t think of anything to comfort Han Xi right now.

Having been forcibly kissed by Li Chenghao, Han Xi felt utterly disgusting, utterly repulsed...

She also missed Lu Jinghan, missed that man like crazy.

But she didn’t want him to see her like this, afraid he would get angry, and even more afraid he would misunderstand.

That’s why she hid herself here alone.

Li Manman got up and took a small medicine box from the TV cabinet drawer, sat down again in front of the sofa: "Don’t think about those unhappy things now; let me clean up your wounds first."

Han Xi didn’t refuse, allowing Li Manman to help clean her wounds.

Li Manman carefully wiped away the dried blood on Han Xi’s lips with a cotton swab soaked in saline solution, her touch was gentle, fearing it would cause Han Xi pain.

After wiping away the blood, Li Manman discovered that not only were there bite marks on her lips and corners of her mouth, but even inside her lips.
