"If it's inconvenient for Miss here, I'd better take Tang Rao back first for treatnt."
Wu Suowei looked at Tang Rao, who lacked any sign of vitality, knowing that the injuries on his body couldn't afford to be delayed. He simply held onto Tang Rao and went to find a stable place to channel energy and heal his wounds.
"Sir, please wait."
Wang Han was moved in her heart and inexplicably decided to keep Wu Suowei there.
"I wonder what other instructions Miss might have?"
Logically, Wang Han was the junior and should respectfully address Wu Suowei as Uncle Wu, yet Wang Han distanced herself from everyone, and Wu Suowei didn't want to argue over formality with her. Wouldn't treating each other with courtesy be better?
"Sir must also be aware that Tang Rao's injuries are quite serious, and the ti delayed on the road was already significant. If delayed further, what are we to do?"
Let alone Wang Han, even Wu Suowei did not know what to do.
"But Miss, we can't let Tang Rao stay here in the yard; there isn't even a place to shelter from the wind and rain. If his injuries don't heal and he catches a cold, what will we do?"
Wu Suowei's words carried a hidden aning, and Wang Han quickly understood what he ant.
"I, my room can accommodate him first, I can move to another place."
After saying this, Wang Han's face turned completely red.
What unmarried woman lets a man sleep in her bed?
If Tang Rao stays today, who knows what rumors might spread outside tomorrow about him and the daughter of the West Island Master having an unspeakable secret.
If people are even a bit more malicious in their thoughts, they might speculate that today's marriage proposal was just a gimmick, that it wasn't truly the Island Master's intention to arrange a marriage, but rather to showcase himself and his daughter, nothing more.
"Miss, please reconsider. This would greatly affect your reputation, and if it implicates you, we could never bear such a responsibility in a lifeti."
Wang Han understood their concerns, but at the mont, who could think so far ahead? Naturally, Tang Rao's life was her foremost priority.
"Listen to , just leave Tang Rao here, and I will bear all the consequences."
With Wang Han's assurance, everyone's minds were put at ease. Even in the face of further doubts and criticisms, they wouldn't be as concerning.
Tang Rao was placed by Wu Suowei onto Wang Han's bed.
The bed still carried Wang Han's scent, which was quite pleasant. Fortunately, the only ones entering Wang Han's room were Wang Lin and Wu Suowei. These two elders certainly wouldn't have improper thoughts about Wang Han, and were thus not particularly sensitive to the fragrance inside the room either.
"Han Han, since this is your boudoir, it's inappropriate for us elders to remain here constantly. During Tang Rao's recovery, we'll have to trouble you to take good care of him."
As Wang Lin spoke about the deeply injured Tang Rao, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
He naturally felt sympathy and distress towards Tang Rao.
"Father, it would be better to find soone else to take care of him. n and won are different; I can allow him to stay here, but for to constantly care for him, aren't you afraid of gossip from outsiders?"
Wang Han directly expressed her concerns.
These issues had crossed Wang Lin's mind as well, but now that he was already staying here, surely those prone to wild conjectures would continue guessing. What harm would it be for her to care for Tang Rao a bit more?
"Daughter, these aren't your worries. I already have plans; you just need to listen to ."
Wang Han, being Wang Lin's daughter, and Wang Lin planning for her future was quite normal. If he didn't care for Wang Han, who else would?
With Wang Lin's word and ever since Tang Rao saved Wang Han, she hadn't been able to stop worrying about him. She thought that simply taking care of Tang Rao shouldn't pose any issue.
"Alright, I'll agree with father."
Wang Han cast a aningful glance at the man on the bed. Seeing Tang Rao in such a state, without a shred of consciousness or self-care ability, her heart sank another notch.
Wang Han discussed matters with Wang Lin, while Wu Suowei had completed appropriate treatnt for Tang Rao's injuries.
"Tang Rao's upcoming recovery will rely on Miss Wang Han."
Wu Suowei took out two porcelain bottles, and the crisp sound from within suggested they contained Elixir Pills he had prepared for Tang Rao.
"This dicine should be taken three tis a day, and make sure not to miss the scheduled tis!"
Concerned that Tang Rao might forget his words, Wu Suowei reiterated the precautions. Even if Wang Han was distracted, having heard it twice helped engrain it in her mory.
"I understand."
Her jade-like hand of lamb-fat received the two white porcelain bottles, and she nodded towards Wu Suowei.
With Tang Rao entrusted to Wang Han, they breathed a sigh of relief and steadily retreated through the door.
Just as they exited, Wu Suowei was t with Wang Lin's probing and suspicious gaze.
"Brother Wang, why are you looking at like that?"
Wu Suowei's gaze was puzzled yet had an undercurrent of guilt.
"How would you know I'm looking at you unless you were looking at ?"
Wang Lin didn't imdiately answer Wu Suowei's inquiry but instead responded in jest.
"How could I not look at you, but what's the aning behind your gaze at , that I'm unclear about."
Wu Suowei wasn't a woman, not believing his own charm would be captivating enough for Wang Lin to stare without blinking.
"Brother Wu, the man nad Leng Feng today at the marriage proposal platform, really has no relation to you? You didn't arrange for him to be there?"
Wu Suowei paused, he hadn't expected his little sches would fall into Wang Lin's scrutiny.
"Seems like Brother Wang has discovered sothing?"
Wu Suowei neither admitted nor denied.
"I didn't expect Brother Wu to be so ruthless; to let Tang Rao be with Han Han, you ca up with such a devious trick!"
Though Wang Lin spoke this way, his tone carried no bla towards Wu Suowei.
He never revealed to Wu Suowei that if Wu Suowei hadn't secretly orchestrated this scene, he had intended a backup plan. Moreover, his plan was quite similar in style to Wu Suowei's: a hero rescues a beauty, the pair then ends up together.
"Could you honestly say you hadn't considered such a devious plan yourself?"
Originally caught in awkwardness, Wu Suowei, feeling a hint of praise in Wang Lin's words, retaliated confidently.
"I thought of it too, but I didn't act on it. Tang Rao is, after all, your disciple; what if he wasn't a match for Leng Feng, and if we slow to react what then?"
Thinking about it made Wang Lin anxious; Leng Feng, a formidable adversary of Tang Rao, fortunately was the first to fall, otherwise, the story between Tang Rao and Wang Han might not continue.
"Isn't everything alright now? I believe once Tang Rao knows my painstaking effort, he certainly won't hold a grudge. If you, this old man, are wise, you won't disclose my ddling; otherwise, if my disciple holds it against , I'll also count it against you."
