Chapter 546: Untitled

This sentence was heard by Xia Ling from the bathroom.

She had just finished bathing and was wrapped in a long white towel. Her skin was radiant, and water dripped from her hair.

Intuitively, she guessed the purpose of Su Tang's visit. Her blood boiled. She walked in front of the two of them and looked at Su Tang. "Why are you here?"

Her tone was fierce, and Su Tang was slightly frightened.

Even Li Lei felt that something was wrong. "Xiao Ling..."

Xia Ling glared at him. This man really couldn't tell that that woman was trying to seduce him?! She continued to stare fiercely at Su Tang. "Get out now!"

Su Tang gently tried to explain herself. "Miss Ye, I'm only taking care of Young Master. You can't cook or help him with his wound. Let me deal with these things."

Xia Ling was startled and finally realized that Li Lei was hurt. Her gaze fell on the wrapped gauze around his finger.

"It's not a big injury. I accidentally cut myself when slicing the vegetables." Li Lei said as he was afraid that she would be worried.

Thus, Xia Ling was relieved and continued to glare at Su Tang. "He won't die from this small injury and doesn't need you! Quickly get lost!" She was already in a bad mood. After seeing a woman in full face makeup trying to seduce her man, she exploded in anger.

Su Tang bit her lip slightly and felt wronged.

Li Lei gently said to her, "Su Tang, thanks for your help. Please leave." He was really afraid that Su Tang would provoke Xiao Ling's sensitive emotions and cause a more serious misunderstanding. Right now, he already regretted not asking Tan Ying or another male to deliver medicine to him instead of Su Tang.

Now, Xiao Ling was mad and Su Tang was wronged.

"But, Young Master..." Su Tang said elegantly. "I'm worried about your injury."

"Is this really something you should worry about?" Xia Ling was more furious. Why was this woman so thick-skinned? "Li Lei already told you to leave, so quickly get out! He has me here!"

"I'll leave after cooking for you two, Miss Ye." Su Tang said pleasantly. "Young Master is hurt, and you can't cook. You can't possibly let Young Master starve."

"Su Tang, don't say anything." This time, Li Lei spoke. "You can go now." He was stricter than before. Although this order would upset Su Tang, taking care of Xiao Ling's emotions was more important. Xiao Ling was his woman, and even though she was unreasonable and willful, she was his life's treasure.

Su Tang knew that Li Lei would be unkind to her if she continued to speak, so she quietened down, bowed and left. Xia Ling looked at the direction she was walking to and angrily kicked the pillow on the furry carpet towards her. Then, she looked at Li Lei. "How could you let someone in so casually?"

Did he really not know that Su Tang had an ulterior motive?

Or was he basking in the joy of it all?

Thinking this way, Xia Ling became more upset.

Li Lei sat on the sofa with his right hand holding his injured left hand. He calmly said, "Ok, I won't ever let her in so easily again. Xiao Ling, put on some clothes. It's easy to catch a cold being wrapped in a bath towel." The towel was too thin, and the drops of water on the tips of her hair fell directly on her white shoulders, causing her shoulders to become wet.

However, Xia Ling only coldly looked at him.

Looking at her, Li Lei guessed that she was not going to change into clothes, so he supported himself using his uninjured right hand and went to the closet to find some clothes for her.

However, she pushed him back on the sofa.

Li Lei was caught off guard and fell back on the soft leather sofa.

"Xiao Ling..."

"Give me your hand." She half-knelt beside him and grabbed his hand to tear the gauze open. He only scraped his finger accidentally, so why was Su Tang making such a fuss and wrapped his finger like this? How could she let another woman leave a mark on her man's body? She coldly dismantled the gauze until she pulled the last layer apart.

She was a little too anxious, and Li Lei winced in pain.

Finally, she discovered that the innermost gauze was stained with blood and the bandaged wound was open again because of her. She was shocked before grabbing a pack of gauze to bandage his wound again. "I thought you said that it was just a simple scratch?"

Li Lei said, "Well, I was afraid that you would be worried. It really isn't a big wound."

Blood oozed out through the new gauze. She lowered her voice. "Liar." She tried her best to deal with the wound but blood did not stop flowing out.

She was rather worried and did not know what to do. Her eyes fell on the medicine box nearby, but she did not know how to stop the bleeding. She remembered what Su Tang said just now. "Young Master, you can't live without me."

A fearful and irritable feeling emerged in her heart.

Li Lei calmly said, "I will take care of the wound."

"I'll do it!" She glared at him fiercely. She did not believe what Su Tang said! She was not going to be any less than a woman who cast covetous eyes on him!

Li Lei smiled bitterly and let her try.

Luckily, it was not a large wound, and he only lost a little blood.

Xia Ling still did not know how to stop the bleeding. She half-knelt on the floor helplessly.

Li Lei said, "First use..."

"You shut up!" She glared at him. Just now, when Su Tang was dealing with his wound, she definitely did not need his help. How could she lose to that woman?

She removed the gauze and the blood continued to flow out. Suddenly, she remembered that she used to fight with the older children in the orphanage and sometimes would bleed after being injured. She would then hide and lick her wounds.

She leaned over and licked Li Lei's bleeding finger gently.

At that moment, Li Lei's body stiffened, and his body seemed electrified. "Xiao Ling..." His voice was hoarse.

However, she was unaware. Some of the sweet liquid fell into her mouth, and she licked it away. She only stopped licking after the blood flow stopped and released his finger.

Looking up, she realized that Li Lei was smiling faintly.

She softly said, "It has stopped."

He leaned over, held her in his arms, and pulled her into a long and gentle kiss.

The long bath towel around her body was loose, and she felt a little cold, so she grabbed his clothes tightly.

"Why?" After a long time, his lips left hers and he muttered.

She said, "I don't like you being with her." After seeing Su Tang joking around with him, her heart hurt.

Li Lei said, "Well."

"I also don't like it when you're with him."

He did not say who "he" was, but they both knew.

He placed her hand on his chest which was separated by a layer of thin clothing. "It hurts here."

She looked at his bleak eyes and suddenly remembered that he could only look from afar when Pei Ziheng and her paid their respects to the child. It must have been horrible for him.

That feeling was more painful than what she felt when she saw him with Su Tang.
