Chapter 735: Saved Your Life Back Then

“I did it.”

Yeh Hannian raised both hands in surrender, “It was just that I saw you sleeping uncomfortably on the sofa, so I carried you over here.

I really didn’t do anything else.”

Nan Jiaojiao stared at him steadily, her eyes growing colder.

Feeling guilty, Yeh Hannian said, “Well, I did save your life back then…”

“So what?”

“Spare me…”

Yeh Hannian pointed to his chest, “I’m injured here.

Right now, I absolutely can’t beat you.

But if you want to take me down now, it would be somewhat dishonorable.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s head throbbed with pain.

Seldom had she seen someone so shameless yet so self-assured.

“Fine, I won’t hit you.

Consider it a repayment for saving my life.”

“No…” Yeh Hannian’s eyes widened, “That’s not how it works, Xiao Nannan.

You’re twisting the truth.

I only hugged you a little and you’re using this to repay the life-saving deed?

Are you a bandit?”

Nan Jiaojiao glanced at the time, her eyebrows knitting together in impatience, “Tomorrow I’ll find some time to come over and protect you, until your people arrive.

I’ll use that to repay you.

If you refuse—”

“I accept!” Yeh Hannian blurted out.

Nan Jiaojiao nodded and turned to leave.

The sound of the door closing indicated her extreme annoyance.

Yeh Hannian was so irritated that he slapped himself.

What was he thinking, blabbering like that and wasting his opportunity?

He had been clinging to that one incident, casually bringing it up hoping to lay some guilt trip on her and at least avoid a beating for now.

Little did he know Nan Jiaojiao would directly cut him off.

Regret flooded him; he felt like such a loser!

Nan Jiaojiao left in a hurry, not noticing the figure that appeared from around the corner just before she entered the elevator.

Loo Jinyang thought he must be seeing things.

He hurried his pace, but by the time he caught up, she had already entered the elevator.

He glanced at his wristwatch, thinking it didn’t make sense.

It was four in the morning; little sister-in-law, such a heavy sleeper, shouldn’t possibly be out and about at this hour.

Feeling puzzled, he peered in the direction Nan Jiaojiao had come from.

As he made his way there, he happened to overhear two nurses chatting at the reception desk.

“Did you see her?

Just now.

Her husband’s been injured like that, running a fever for two days before she even showed up.

And when she did, she knocked him out cold.

How heartless.”

“Don’t go spreading rumors.

I heard that even the doctors couldn’t get close to him.

She was just using the most effective method.

That’s a true married couple for you.

Those hits were real.”

“I went in last night to change the IV drip, guess what I saw?”

The nurse clucked her tongue a few times, lowering her voice mysteriously, “She was sleeping in his arms.”

“Really?!”

“True.

When I entered, I saw her sleeping against the sofa.

Her husband was holding her with just one hand, remember he was injured on the left side of his back?

He was supporting her knees with his left hand.

Scared the life out of me, I was afraid his wound would split open.

I wanted to help, but he wouldn’t let me, not even a touch.

They were precious!”

The other nurse hugged herself, full of envy, “True love is really about watching others.

If that’s not true love, then what is?”

Loo Jinyang stood not far away, his mind in total turmoil.

Giving it some thought, he walked over and knocked on the reception desk, “Are you referring to the person who just left?”

The nurse immediately put on a professional demeanor, “Sorry, we’re not allowed to divulge patient information according to hospital policy.”

Loo Jinyang leaned on the desk, eyes narrowed with a smile, “I’m here to visit him.

If I had known my sister-in-law was here, I would have come later.”

Oh, so he knows her.

“Yeah,” the nurse dropped her guard and gestured towards the elevator, “The one in the blue sweater that just left.

You can go see your friend now; it’s a good time.”
