Surprise! Love-brained Mr. Li has made his ex-girlfriend his girlfriend

Chapter 247 Injury

After Li Zhen left, Lu Xingchen did not go to find Xu Fanghua, but went straight home. She didn't think anything was unusual at first, but two hours later Li Zhen didn't give her any news, and she felt something was wrong.

But thinking that the matter might not have been dealt with yet, she continued to work. After Xu Fanghua and Aunt Zhang returned home and went to bed, she could no longer suppress her growing uneasiness and called Li Zhen.

No one answered the phone the first time she called, and Lu Xingchen's heart instantly rose. She was not the type of person who would overthink things, but this time she instinctively felt that something might not be right.

She made another call, and this time the phone rang a few times before being picked up.

The moment the phone was picked up, Lu Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could fully relax, Wang Chao's voice came over the phone: "Sister-in-law."

Lu Xingchen couldn't help but hold his breath.

Sure enough, Wang Chao's next sentence was, "Brother Zhen has had some problems and is receiving emergency treatment now."

Lu Xingchen's head buzzed and there was a moment of blankness. His heart seemed to shrink to an extremely small size and then exploded violently, beating rapidly.

She took a deep breath and asked, "Where is he hurt? How is he?"

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I just had a cut on my abdomen. The doctor said there's no damage inside. It's just that the wound is a little deep and it's being sutured..."

"Which hospital is it? I'll be there now." Lu Xingchen couldn't bear to hear him using the word "should" when describing it. It sounded like he was deliberately trying to downplay the extent of the injury to comfort her.

After getting Wang Chao's answer, Lu Xingchen took the car keys and went out.

When she arrived at the hospital, Li Zhen had already returned to the ward and was even leaning against the head of the bed talking to Wang Chao and the others. When he saw her pushing open the door of the ward and walking in, he was stunned at first, then his eyes flickered like a child who had done something wrong, and finally he smiled at her.

Several subordinates gathered in the ward also turned their heads to look at the door.

Lu Xingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least she wasn't lying on the bed unable to move. She put away her tense expression and looked at the people in the room and asked, "Do you need me to come in later?"

"No need." Li Zhen looked at Wang Chao and warned him. Wang Chao touched his neck and looked away. Then he said to them, "If nothing else, go back and rest."

"Brother Zhen, you should have a good rest." The men turned and walked out.

Lu Xingchen walked towards the bed, and those people came out one after another and called out one by one: "Sister-in-law."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, walked to the bedside, looked down at the person leaning against the head of the bed without saying a word.

Li Zhen was so shocked by her gaze that he took off his hospital gown, pointed to the gauze wrapped around his right waist and abdomen and said, "It's just a skin injury. It will be healed in two days."

He said it easily. Lu Xingchen felt a panic as if he was watching a tree falling down when he saw the man who usually looked strong and upright in anything wearing a hospital gown.

Just like she used to think Lu Dingsheng was omnipotent, but suddenly one day she heard that he was sick, and then saw with her own eyes the white hair on his temples, she was very panicked.

She was able to hold back just now, but when she saw Li Zhen lift up his clothes and saw his belly, her eyes started to tear up.

Li Zhen was frightened, and said with a serious look: "Xingchen, I'm really fine."

As he said this, he stood up.

Lu Xingchen bent down, held his shoulders, looked at him and said, "I'm fine, I just feel bad seeing you like this."

As she spoke, her tears quickly gathered and she smiled at Li Zhen while shedding tears. Seeing her like this, Li Zhen felt more pain in his heart than in the injured part. He reached out and pulled her into his arms: "It's my fault. I made you worry. I'll be more careful next time."

"There will be a next time?" Lu Xingchen just rested her head on his shoulder, her body extremely stiff, afraid that she would accidentally touch his wound, so she quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears on his shoulder and walked away from him, looking at him seriously, "Didn't you say that it was just a man's game that I could turn down by just changing my mind and going to your place? Why did you come back like this?"

Li Zhen was a little flustered when he saw her frown, "It really is just a bunch of men."

Before Lu Xingchen could ask what the situation was, and didn't know what exactly happened, he just looked into his eyes and asked, "Is that something I can avoid if I go to your place?"

Li Zhen didn't dare to joke this time, he held her hand and said, "I'm injured, can this matter be resolved?"

Lu Xingchen's expression remained serious. "In order to prevent me from getting suspicious, you actually tried to make a feint to the east and attack in the west. I will learn from you in the future..."

"That won't work."

"If you knew it wouldn't work, why did you lie to me?"

"I...I'm a man."

"I'm still a woman." Lu Xingchen was furious. "This is the first time, and I hope it's the last time. I'm not falling for you because it's for my own good."

But didn't she do that to protect him? Thinking of this, Li Zhen was relieved. At least they shared the same double standard tendency in caring for each other.

"I know. I won't do that again."

It was not a good idea to argue with him, an injured person, or to ask him questions. Lu Xingchen changed the topic and asked, "Can I have some water? Do you want some water?"

"I've drunk it. I'm not thirsty."

"Then you take a nap, and we can talk about other things after you wake up."

"Okay, you, go back first. You don't have to stay with me in the hospital."

Lu Xingchen asked with a smile: "You're already in the hospital, don't you want me to accompany you?"

Li Zhen: "I'm fine, and there are other people here."

Lu Xingchen looked at him for a moment, then got up from the bed and said, "Okay, I'll go back now. You should have a good rest."

Li Zhen: “…”

Lu Xingchen took a few steps towards the door and found that the person behind him didn't say anything, so he turned to look at him: "What's wrong? Didn't you ask me to go back? You don't seem very happy."

Li Zhen opened his mouth to say something, then closed his lips again.

Lu Xingchen looked at him without saying anything, turned around and asked: "Tell me the truth, do you want me to stay with you?"

Li Zhen hesitated for a while, his face slightly reddened, and he said without giving a direct answer: "I am worried that someone as delicate as you will suffer in the hospital."

"Since I'm so delicate, you can leave everything to other women from now on, such as sleeping with you or giving birth to your children..."

"I want you to stay with me!" Li Zhen quickly finished his words. Seeing her looking at him, he said it again very seriously, "I want you to take care of me."

Lu Xingchen then walked back to the bedside, looked at him and said very conceitedly: "I can do everything now, including taking care of people."

Seeing that she looked like she wanted him to trust her, Li Zhen nodded and said, "Of course, an electric cooker is the same as an electric rice cooker to you, so what else can't it do?"

"Li Zhen." Lu Xingchen warned him, and then added unhappily, "Is this the time to sabotage us?"

Li Zhen smiled.

Lu Xingchen also touched the bruises on his face with heartache, and said with a smile: "I'll make the bed flat, you lie down for a while, I'll get some water to wipe it for you."
