Chapter 353: Care
Translator: Lonelytree
Jing Tian was stunned. “Huh?”
I said frankly, “Is my leg broken? Is it incurable? Do I need to use a crutch or a wheelchair in the future?”
Jing Tian raised his eyebrows. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
I patted his chest with my movable hand. “It’s fine. I can accept the truth.”
Jing Tian pulled my hand away. “What truth? Why do you need a wheelchair or a crutch? Haven’t I told you that you’re fine?”
I looked at Jing Tian and said carefully, “Now you’re more like your normal self. You were so gentle earlier that I had to assume the worst.”
Jing Tian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He poked my forehead. “What’s all this nonsense in your head? We should send you to the neurological department to see if your head is injured too!”
I felt more at ease when he used this incredulous tone. I reached out to hug his arm. I rubbed my face against it. “Well, I was heavily injured. Can you blame me for thinking that I’d be crippled?”
Jing Tian rubbed my head helplessly.
Mai Qi’s injury was the lightest. So I saw her the afternoon I woke up. She had a bandage around her arm. She walked with a limp but her mood was not bad.
“Nanxing, is it painful?” She brought me a cup of fruit tea.
“What about you?” I asked in return.
She shook her arm at me. “It’s just some surface injuries, not as nearly as bad as you two.”
“Where’s Jing Ni? Have you been to see her?” I didn’t understand why Jing Tian didn’t put Jing Ni and me in the same ward. Was it because Jing Ni’s injury was more serious than mine?
Mai Qi flashed me a mysterious smile. “I’ve been to her ward. She doesn’t need me to take care of her.”
I nodded. “Auntie Bai Rui is taking care of her? She’d cry Jing Ni a river.”
Mai Qi smiled, “Do you really think Auntie Bai Rui would be notified about this?”
I was curious. “Then who is taking care of her?”
“Take a guess!” Mai Qi’s smile was gloating.
I shook my head. “I have no clue. It’s not my little uncle, is it?”
“Your little uncle has been rejected already, so it’s not him.” Mai Qi took a sip of her fruit tea.
I sighed helplessly. My poor little uncle.
Maggie kept me in suspense until I begged her to tell me the truth. She finally leaned in to whisper conspiratorially, “Mr. Qu Hao.”

I was stunned. “What about Mr. Qu Hao?” Then it hit me. “Wait, Mr. Qu Hao is taking care of Jing Ni?”
Mai Qi nodded.
My eyes widened. “For real?”
Mai Qi nodded with a smug look on her face.
I kept staring at her, and she nodded again.
“Isn’t that incredible?” She asked.
This time, it was my turn to nod. “That’s incredible. But how is this possible? They’ve met… only two times before.”
Mai Qi shrugged, “Perhaps this is destiny?”
I was speechless. If it was destiny, its power was strong.
“But why would Jing Ni like Qu Hao?” I muttered to myself.
Mai Qi huffed, “Have you seen my brother? He is the perfect man! So why wouldn’t Jing Ni like him?”
I raised my hand in surrender. I apologized for what I said.
Mai Qi sighed. “Say. My brother is perfect, so why doesn’t Jing Ni like him?”
“Huh?” I was shocked again. I tried to parse the info in my mind. “Your big brother is taking care of Jing Ni because he likes Jing Ni, but Jing Ni doesn’t really care for your big brother?”
Mai Qi nodded and sighed. “My brother is such a good man. Jing Ni will be so happy being my sister-in-law.. Plus she wouldn’t have any mother-in-law to serve. Ah, I really hope my brother can win over Jing Ni!”
