CHAPTER 256

"Then, do you want me to stay?" Li Fengjin asked.

"I-I. Sigh. Please, don't go," she said in a low voice as she avoided his eyes. She looked like a child pleading with her parents to stay with her in her room.

"If you want me to stay, why did you ask me those questions? You sounded as if you did not want me here. As if you can and wanted to stay alone and take care of yourself," Li Fengjin said.

Li Fengjin moved to open the curtains to allow the moonlight to enter the room. The view from where he stood was spectacular. It could make a sick person want to get well and go out.

Smiling, he moved away from the window and went to sit on the bed facing Bai Renxiang.

"Why did you act like that in the first place?"

"Well... It is because... Sigh. I wanted to just ask out of formalities. It is not as if I really wanted you to go. I am just- just scared," she said while fiddling with the bedsheet.

"So? Why do you want me to stay? You could have asked your best friend, Ning Xiaozhi to stay," he asked curiously.

"You- are you trying to piss me off? If you don't want to stay here, you can say it," she said in a slightly angry tone.

Bai Renxiang felt like Li Fengjin was interrogating her. There was no need of beating around the bush before stating his point.

"I am not trying to piss you off or anything. I was just curious as to why you chose me over her, your best friend," Li Fengjin explained and then shrugged.

"I only did what you did. You also chose me over your bros. Or are they not also your best friends?" She asked smartly.historical

"Well, they are. Okay, I will not bother you with any more questions. You need to get a shower and climb back to bed," he said as he stood up and went to take the bags Wang Tingxiao had brought along with the food.

"Why do you sound like my mum all of a sudden?" Bai Renxiang asked.

"I do not sound like her. I heard when she told you the same thing. I only reminded you as she told me to," he said as he passed the bag to her.

"Sigh. Whatever," she sighed as she rolled her eyes.

For a moment there, Bai Renxiang thought she saw his eyes shimmer in expectation as she collected the bag from him. But as soon as it came it faded away- as if it never came. So, she brushed it off.

"What is this?" She murmured a question.

As soon as Bai Renxiang opened the bag, she immediately shut it close. Her eyes were wide as heat crept up her cheeks.

"What? You don't like them?" Li Fengjin asked.

He was waiting to hear her thoughts on the things he bought for her. But he got this expression from her. He was puzzled.

"You- you... How did... how did you know m-my cup size?" Bai Renxiang asked while stuttering.

"You don't like the underwear? Should I call the store I bought it from? Let me see if they brought something else," Li Fengjin said as he reached for the bag.

"No!" Bai Renxiang yelled as she hid the bag behind her.

Li Fengjin was shocked at the way she reacted. Sensing that she jas overreacted just now, Bai Renxiang sighed and apologised.

"I'm sorry. I just... There is nothing wrong with the... They are good. I should go into the bathroom now," she said before moving out of the bed.

Just as she placed her weight on her legs on the ground she winced in pain and fell forward. Li Fengjin who was luckily beside her, quickly caught her before she landed face flat on the floor.

"Hey! Are you alright?" Li Fengjin asked worriedly as he helped her gain her footing.

"I am al- hiss. Ouch!" Bai Renxiang cried out as she held unto his shoulders for support.

"What? What's wrong? Where are you hurt?"

"Ouch! My leg. It's painful," she mumbled.

Li Fengjin looked down and was surprised to see blood flowing down her right leg. He frowned and immediately lifted get off her feet.

Then he gently placed her on the bed. After that, he pressed the button Ye Chaoxiang had told her to press if something went wrong. In a few minutes, a doctor and a nurse came rushing into the room.

"Ms Bai? What happened?" The nurse asked worriedly.

"She is bleeding. Why is she bleeding?" Li Fengjin asked.

His face had already contorted in anger and his voice was cold. Even Bai Renxiang shivered from hearing him speak.

"It must have been from the wound on her mid-thigh," the nurse answered.

"Let me see," the doctor said.

Bai Renxiang lifted her hospital gown and stopped just above the injury. She gasped loudly when she saw the deep cut on her right thigh.

She noticed that the wound was stitched but it had reopened. It must have been when she stood up from the bed. She had no idea she was injured that badly.

"How did I get this?" She murmured but the doctor heard her.

"When you were brought into the operating room, we noticed the injury. It seemed like you were cut deeply by a sharp object," the doctor started explaining. "That object was a piece of glass. It was stuck inside your skin," he added.

"What? How can a- oh!" Bai Renxiang stopped as she remembered something?

The glass from her car. She could remember that their car was upside down. She did not know how or when. But by the time once shut eyes opened, she was upside down as well as the car.

While she was crawling out through tge window, she felt a sharp peircing pain on her thighs. She could not check as she was not in the condition to do so.

"The glass was from the car when I had an accident."
