"Go change your clothes, I’ll clean up," Luo Xiaoqian crouched down to reach for the broken glass on the floor.
"Stop!" Leng Zimo hastily bent down to grab her hand and carefully stepped over the ss on the floor to push her aside, "Be good and sit on the sofa. I’ll go pour you so juice!"
Hearing the insistence in his voice, Luo Xiaoqian could only smile and agree, "Then please be careful."
"Don’t worry, I’m not as clumsy as you." Leng Zimo raised his hand to wipe off the juice stains splashed onto her face, "Go on."
Luo Xiaoqian returned his smile and turned to walk to the sofa, "Sister Xia, Sister Xu Pei, let’s sit on the sofa and chat!"
"Wow!" Xu Xia, linking arms with her as they walked to the sofa, whispered in admiration, "Xiao Qian, look at you, getting treated like a princess!"
Luo Xiaoqian gave her a look, "Who was the one trying to compete desperately just now?"
"That was , exploding in a blaze of glory for my sisters!" Xu Xia laughed, "Co on, teach so husband-taming skills."
"I don’t have any skills," Luo Xiaoqian pushed the fruit plate towards them and glanced sideways at Leng Zimo cleaning up, "It’s just him spoiling ."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Xu Xia smacked her lips exaggeratedly, "’It’s just him spoiling ’—how conceited, you’re just asking for jealousy, right, Sister Xu Pei?"
anwhile, Xu Pei sitting on the single sofa, watching Leng Zimo cleaning the floor, her heart was already filled with infinite negative emotions.
No wonder Luo Xiaoqian is so calm; did she really just escape such a disaster unscathed?
And Leng Zimo, not only does he pamper and protect her like that, but he isn’t even mad at Xu Xia’s craziness?!
Her face forcibly maintained composure, but her hand, squeezing an orange, had already crushed it until the juice overflowed, not hearing Xu Xia’s voice at all.
Xu Xia, having not heard her reply, turned her face confusedly to look at the nearly-crushed orange in her hand, and with a puzzled raise of her eyebrows, she asked, "Sister Xu Pei, what’s wrong?!"
"Ah... nothing!" Xu Pei ca back to her senses sowhat flustered and tossed the orange into the trash can, "This orange... seems a bit rotten... I’ll just peel an apple instead."
She casually picked up an apple and began peeling it with a fruit knife, masking her emotions, "Xiao Qian, were those two thugs caught?"
Luo Xiaoqian nodded, "Yes, they’ve been caught."
Panic struck Xu Pei’s heart, and the fruit knife slipped, slicing into her finger.
Seeing the blood seeping from her finger, an image of Lu Hao with his face covered in blood glaring at her flashed before her eyes.
With a scream, she frantically dropped the knife and apple.
Luo Xiaoqian and Xu Xia were both startled by her, hurrying to get up and co over, seeing her injured hand, Luo Xiaoqian hurriedly took so paper towels to press on the wound, "Zimo, quickly get the first aid kit, Sister Xu Pei cut her hand!"
Over there, Leng Zimo had just finished tidying the floor and was carrying juice out of the kitchen when he heard her voice. He imdiately ca over, took a look at Xu Pei’s finger, and turned to bring her a Band-Aid.
"Doesn’t it need disinfection?" Luo Xiaoqian accepted the Band-Aid.
"It’s fine, it’s just a little cut," Leng Zimo said dismissively.
Luo Xiaoqian peeled off the Band-Aid and carefully applied it to Xu Pei’s finger, but Xu Pei’s gaze was fixed only on Leng Zimo’s face. Watching him calmly walk into the kitchen to get two more glasses of juice, a sharp pain suddenly prickled in Xu Pei’s heart.
