U-Uncle! This woman actually called him uncle! He was a gentle, rich, handsome, twenty-eight-year-old boy. Which part of him looked like an uncle?
After he was sent to the army by his brother, he was tormented many times in the past few months. This caused his skin to be much rougher than before, and his complexion was no longer fair as he had become darker. He had turned from a fair young man to a black African.
However, he was still someone who was born with a handsome face. No matter how dark his complexion was, he should not be compared with an extremely creepy and jobless middle-aged man. This girl… this girl…
Li did not think that she had said anything surprising at all. She just felt that the man in front of her was very strange. After he bumped into her, he had smiled creepily and said that he would buy another set of food for her to eat. No matter how she looked at him, he looked like the kind of weird middle-aged man that was often mentioned on the television and was the type who would abduct and sell naive girls.
Li frowned. Then, she turned without hesitation and planned to leave.
How could Ling Ran let her go just like this? As a great young man, if his friends knew that he had been called an uncle, he would be embarrassed.
“Wait… wait a minute.”
“Uncle, is there anything else?” Li asked innocently. Her big eyes were full of doubts, and she looked at the man who stood in front of her incomprehensibly.
Ling Ran was once again speechless when he heard Li called him uncle. He sighed and said helplessly, “Little girl, I’m only twenty-eight years old this year. I’m not an uncle.”
“Oh, I’m only twenty-two years old this year, and you’re six years older than me. What are you if you’re not an uncle?” Li frowned and looked distressed. Her expression made Ling Ran speechless again.
“Someone who is six years older than you is your elder brother, not an uncle!” Although Ling Ran had tried his best to suppress the anger he had, his face inevitably became scary at this moment.
Li gasped, and she reflexively took a few steps back. She looked like an innocent girl who was being bullied by a bully. She nervously said, “Y-You’re scary. Don’t come over.”
“Oh my, what’s going on over there?”
“It seems like someone is abducting a girl, and the girl is resisting. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. The moral degeneration of the world is getting worse day by day. Say, should we call the police?”
“Why report to the police? I don’t think it’s an abduction at all. I guess it’s just a young couple having a quarrel. You don’t have to intervene. You might do a bad thing despite having good intentions.”
“Really? But why do I think that that man is a pervert? At first glance, he doesn’t look like a good person at all, and that girl looks so pitiful.”
Not a good person… Not a good person… Not a good person… After he was hurt twice by their words, Ling Ran felt that his heart was bleeding. It almost made him fall to the floor on the spot.
“Erm, are you okay?” Maybe Ling Ran’s dejected expression was too miserable, so Li could not help but feel bad for him. So, she asked tentatively.
“I-I’m okay,” Ling Ran said with a sad face. “Actually, I just wanted to invite you for a meal to apologize. I don’t have other intentions.”
Ling Ran’s words were extremely sincere. However, Li pondered for a moment, and what she said did not change much at all. “Mister, I won’t accept your invitation. It is just for two hamburgers. It’s not worth it no matter how I think about it. I’m not such an easy person.”
Li’s words were like a rain of arrows, which directly shot into Ling Ran. Young Master Ling, who was hit by reality, groaned helplessly, “I really don’t have other intentions. Why won’t you believe me?”
Unfortunately, his earnest confession did not reach Li at all. At this moment, she was propping her chin with one hand. She looked as if she was thinking. After she was in a dilemma for a while, she said, “But if you can invite me for a meal to eat every food in this store, I might accept your invitation.”
“Pfft…” Who could tell him just what exactly was this woman thinking about? Why did he think that they were not talking about the same thing even though he had been explaining for a long time?
It must… It must be an unlucky day today! Right, it must be so.
On one hand, Ling Ran was tortured by Li until his mind was a mess and had a breakdown. On the other hand, Zhao Youlin and others had rushed back to the hospital as quickly as possible and sent Mu Tingfeng to the emergency room directly.
The result of the emergency treatment was predictable. Mu Tingfeng’s gunshot wound had opened again, and the wound had to be re-sutured. Zhao Youlin and other people were scolded severely by the attending doctor when the doctor saw them.
The main thing was that the patient’s wound had not healed completely yet, so how could they let him run around and make such a big fuss? It made the stitched wounds dehiscent, and he bled a lot. The patient had already lost too much blood. Now, he lost so much blood, so it was harmful to his body. He needed to be treated well. If this happened again, he would definitely die. The doctor said a lot of things.
At first, the doctor only scolded Xia Zhetao, who was accompanying Mu Tingfeng at that time. When he knew that Mu Tingfeng ran out without permission because he wanted to find Zhao Youlin, he naturally started scolding her as well.
Unfortunately, the moment the attending doctor started scolding Zhao Youlin, he suddenly felt a cold chill down his spine. He seemed to know what it was and turned his head to take a look. He was almost frightened by the hostile look of the person lying on the bed, and he immediately shut his mouth.
When Zhao Youlin saw it, she smiled apologetically at the attending doctor and nodded to indicate that what he said had gotten through to her. She would never make such a mistake again in the future. At the same time, she glared at Mu Tingfeng to warn him to stop pressuring the attending doctor.
When Mu Tingfeng saw that Zhao Youlin was glaring at him, the chilly look in his eyes instantly faded, and it turned into eyes that were full of tenderness and love. He also suppressed the killing aura he was exuding and became extremely obedient.
The obedient appearance that was similar to a loyal dog made the corners of Xia Zhetao’s mouth twitch. He covered his face as he could not bear to look at him directly.
Although the murderous gaze was gone, the attending doctor, who was still afraid, did not dare to scold Zhao Youlin in front of Mu Tingfeng anymore. He just briefly explained some things that needed their special attention for the time being and left the ward.
As soon as the attending doctor left, Xia Zhetao left as well. In an instant, there were only Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng left in the ward.
Right after Zhao Youlin turned her head, she met Mu Tingfeng’s expectant eyes. She sighed and accepted her fate. Then, she walked to Mu Tingfeng’s bed and sat down.
As soon as Zhao Youlin sat down, Mu Tingfeng’s uninjured hand quickly extended out from the duvet. He clasped Zhao Youlin’s hand tightly, and their fingers interlaced. He seemed to be afraid of Zhao Youlin leaving him here and leaving again.
Zhao Youlin was stunned. She looked at Mu Tingfeng’s extremely pale face due to the excessive blood loss and their tightly clasped hands. She seemed to have made a decision and said softly, “Okay.”
