She wrapped the gauze around his injury carefully. It wasn’t that difficult.
As she did so, a few bean-sized tears fell onto the gauze.
He became a little flustered, not knowing what to do.
Just as he was about to speak, she spoke first.
“I’m sorry. I’ve always been so reckless. You’ve gotten hurt so many times because of me.” She tried to remain calm, but the more she spoke, the more uncontrollably her tears flowed.
Her tears fell onto the bandage on his arm, causing his heart to tighten.
Shi Nuannuan wiped her tears away, as if trying to stop them from falling. But the more she wiped, the more they flowed!
So she was blaming herself for what happened just now.
Realizing why she was crying, he pulled her up to sit next to him.
Then, he gently wiped away the tears on her face.
Her sobs only made him more flustered.
“It’s not your fault. I should have worded it better.”
Shi Nuannuan did not raise her head. It was as if every time she did something wrong, she did not dare to face him.
“It’s just that you shouldn’t do such dangerous things in the future.”
Although she was sometimes reckless, she could clearly distinguish right and wrong.
She still did not speak as she kept her head low.
In order to put this unpleasant matter behind him, Xiangyi put on his clothes and stood up.
“I’ll throw these clothes away and send you home.”
The clothes were already tattered and covered in blood, so there was nothing much he could do about them anyway.
She nodded and walked out of the bedroom with him as he left with the tattered clothes to dump them at the dumpsite a few floors below.
When he returned to the apartment, the living room was empty. Shi Nuannuan was nowhere to be seen.
He was stunned for a moment. He walked to the bathroom and then the bedroom. When he did not see her, he rushed outside again.
When he reached the elevator, he realized that another elevator that was originally on the tenth floor had stopped on the first floor.
Then, his phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw a message from Shi Nuannuan: “I’m going home first.”.
It felt like every time she felt that she had done something wrong, she wanted to hide herself and disappear in front of him. It was the same with the last time she was in the hospital.
After leaving Xiangyi’s apartment, Shi Nuannuan hailed a taxi and arrived at the bar where she was previously to get her car that she parked there previously.
Shi Mansion.
Just as they were about to have lunch, Shen Lanzhi walked to the phone and was about to call her daughter when she heard the sound of an engine coming from the door. She stopped in her tracks as she turned to look in the direction of the door.
Not long after, she saw her daughter walk through the door.
She smiled as she walked towards her daughter who had just returned. “Nuannuan, you’re back?”
Shen Lanzhi did not ask where her daughter had gone because she knew that she was not a bad child and never worried about her.
However, just as she walked over with a smile on her face, her daughter only glanced at her and called out, “Mommy.”
She looked a little unhappy and did not look too good either.
What’s wrong?
Shi Nuannuan took a look at her mother before continuting straight to the second floor.
She happened to run into Shi Yuting and Zuo Weiyi, who were on their way down to eat.
“Nuannuan, you’re back. It’s time to eat.”
Zuo Weiyi smiled as she saw her coming back. However, she became a little concerned over Nuannuan’s expression and body language when the latter walked past them.
