After wiping the wound clean, Murong Qiao confirmed that there was no problem and disinfected it twice with alcohol.
This hurt Nan Jin a lot. No matter how careful Murong Qiao was, the intense pain and sting caused by the alcohol was inevitable.
“…Bear with it.” Murong Qiao could only speed up.
It’s better to deal with painful things quickly. She had thought about only cleaning it once, but when she thought of the dust in the alley or the fact that there was something dirty that could easily cause infection… she could only let Nan Jin suffer a little.
In order not to hurt Nan Jin too much, Murong Qiao thought for a moment and could only speak to divert the other party’s attention.
“Thank you for today,” she thanked him. freewebnov(e)l.com
Murong Qiao’s tone was serious. Her gaze only landed on the wound to focus on dealing with it. The cotton bat with alcohol peeled off the unknown crumbs at the edge of the wound bit by bit.
Nan Jin hurriedly shook his head. “Actually, I need to apologize. I clearly promised you that I wouldn’t come to see you.”
In the end, he still followed.
“But if not for you, I wouldn’t be so safe now.” Murong Qiao raised her eyebrows.
If Nan Jin hadn’t appeared today, she wouldn’t have been able to deal with Nan Kang alone. Moreover, Nan Kang looked crazy. If the knife had really stabbed Murong Qiao, it wouldn’t have been as simple as just hurting one hand.
Nan Jin listened to his Little Sister speak to him in silence. Hearing her sincere gratitude, he suddenly had the illusion that the two of them had reconciled.
Seeing that she didn’t get a reply, Murong Qiao looked up at Nan Jin and met his dazed gaze.
Nan Jin suddenly remembered the day he gave Murong Qiao the snacks a long time ago. He remembered that the other party even had diarrhea because of the expiration date.
Then, he suddenly said, “I’m sorry.”
“Huh?” Murong Qiao couldn’t follow his train of thought.
Nan Jin pursed his lips and suddenly explained, “You had diarrhea while eating snacks at the Nan family’s house previously. I was the one who hung it at your door… I didn’t look at the expiry date at that time.”
He didn’t like snacks. At that time, he only knew that his Little Sister was very hungry and didn’t think too much. He took a large bag and hung it at her door, but he didn’t expect such a thing to happen.
“…It’s fine.” Murong Qiao also reacted.
Nan Jin was about to say something when Murong Qiao’s phone rang first.
Murong Qiao took it with one hand. It was her Big Brother, Murong Chen.
When the call went through, Murong Chen spoke first.
“Qiaoqiao, I was too busy to see your call just now. Why did you call me?” Murong Chen’s concerned tone sounded from the receiver.
‘Call?’
Murong Qiao didn’t react immediately. Then, she suddenly remembered what had happened with Nan Kang today.
At that time, after Nan Kang unlocked her cell phone, he might have pressed the button to call her Big Brother. Perhaps it didn’t get through. Murong Qiao only cared about calling the police later and didn’t look.
Murong Qiao hurriedly adjusted his emotions. “It’s fine, Brother. I pressed the wrong number.”
“I just have something to tell Jiang Chi about the company. It’s nothing.” She brushed it off.
However, her intimate tone landed in Nan Jin’s heart, making him subconsciously feel jealous.
Even though he couldn’t hear who was on the other end of the phone, Murong Qiao’s address and tone indicated the other party’s existence.
Nan Jin watched as Murong Qiao put her phone aside and picked up the call with her Bluetooth earpiece. She spoke as she treated his wound. He suddenly had an urge to do something.
“Hiss.” He drew in his breath and made a sound.
Murong Qiao hurriedly relaxed her grip, thinking that she had hurt Nan Jin.
However, the two of them were very close. Even if the voice was not loud, it could be heard by Murong Chen through the cell phone.
Murong Chen paused in his words. Then, he continued to remind her as if nothing had happened, but his heart was stirred.
Murong Chen sat in the office, his mind racing.
The voice on the other end of the phone clearly belonged to a man, but he had just been discussing a collaboration with Huo Yichen…
Murong Chen lowered his eyes and pondered before saying softly, “It’s good that you’re fine. I’ll hang up first. I still have a meeting later.”
“Alright, Big Brother, take care of yourself. Don’t work overtime all the time. A few days ago, when I spoke to Uncle Yang, he even told me about you.” On the other hand, Murong Qiao said a few more words of concern for Murong Chen.
It was rare for her to talk to her Big Brother. When Murong Qiao heard that the other party was going to a meeting again, she immediately said a few more words.
Nan Jin hissed from time to time, as if he was really in pain. Every time Murong Qiao spoke to Murong Chen, he vaguely showed his presence..
