C14 Rest Well

After an unknown amount of time, when Xu Xiran slowly woke up, it was already dusk.

The first thought that came to her mind when she opened her eyes was that she was actually still alive.

Not only was she alive, but she was also lying in the back of the car with her limbs intact. She was wearing the jacket of a student who had just left school, while the man who had humiliated her so much was sitting in the driver's seat, lighting a cigarette.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the man's cold and deep face was like that of an emotionless sculpture.

He noticed Xu Xiran's awakening through the rear view mirror and coldly said, "Put on your clothes."

Xu Xiran didn't answer him. He only extended his trembling hands, randomly opened a shopping bag, and found a simple dress to put on. Following that, he sat there like a puppet, as if he had lost all of his vitality.

Lu Jin turned his head around, feeling annoyed when he saw her like this.

"Who are you showing this face to?" He impatiently growled, "Xu Xiran, do you want me to say it a second time?"

"Yes, I am just a trash that can't even be compared to a street girl. Are you satisfied?" Xu Xiran spoke woodenly, "You can try again at any time. Anyway, in your eyes, am I not so despicable?"

Her humble attitude should have made Lu Jin satisfied, but for some reason, when he saw Xu Xiran like this, he didn't seem happy at all.

His ice-cold eyes slightly narrowed, and he warned in a warning tone: "Xu Xiran, don't try to challenge my fury."

"Then what do you want me to do!?" Xu Xilan suddenly raised his head as his palm-sized face was covered in tears, "Isn't this what you wanted? Spread your legs wherever you want. In your eyes, aren't I such a person? "

As soon as she finished speaking, her face suddenly turned deathly pale, and her body softly fell to the ground.

"Xu Xiran!"

Before she fainted, it was as if she had heard Lu Jin calling her name. Her voice was filled with panic and worry.

Was it an illusion, Xu Xiran thought.

This devilish man only knew how to torture her, so why would he worry about her?

Xu Xiran's sudden appearance gave Lu Jin a fright. He immediately drove back to the hotel in a hurry.

He had originally planned to send her to the hospital, but after considering the scars on her body, he really couldn't bring himself to do so. Thus, he had no choice but to send the unconscious Xu Xiran to the bed and call the Lu family's family doctor.

After the grey-bearded Doctor Li rushed to the hotel, he was startled by the scarred Xu Xiran. Feeling heartache, he flew into a rage at Lu Jin. All he said was that he didn't know how to care a girl wasn't a man.

Lu Jin felt guilty for studying. Under his command, he washed Xu Xiran and applied the medicine before changing into a clean set of clothes. Only then did Doctor Li give up.

Doctor Li repeatedly warned him, and also left him a prescription. He said that Xu Xiran's body was damaged, and that he needed to properly recuperate. And the most important thing was —

"Cultivating the body and nurturing the mind." Doctor Li's beard was sticking out from anger. "If you don't want this girl to lose her child in the future, you should train your body and nurture it for three months. Otherwise, you all can just wait and cry."

Lu Jin grabbed the prescription and turned around to look at Xu Xiran, who was wrapped in a quilt and looked exceptionally frail. A complicated expression surfaced in his eyes.

"I understand. I will let her rest well." After respectfully sending Doctor Li out, he returned to his room and stood at the head of the bed, watching the unconscious Xu Xiran.

Today, he had truly gone too far. Even though she was in a dream, her delicate and pretty eyebrows were still tightly knitted together. A tear quietly rolled down from the corner of her eye and fell into Lu Jin's eyes.

Slowly he reached out and gently wiped the tear away.

Unexpectedly, the moment he touched her, even when he was unconscious, Xu Xiran reflexively struggled as he continuously muttered to himself, "Don't …" Let me go. I didn't... "It's not like that."

As she struggled, she let out a pitiful sob.

This time, Lu Jin didn't know what to do. Without even looking at her, he picked up the blanket and tucked it under her, trapping her from constantly waving her arms and legs in the air.

Only then did Xu Xiran calm down.

"What a waste." Lu Jin looked down at her pale face and muttered.

The usual contemptuous words had a trace of inexplicable gentleness to them that even Lu Jin hadn't noticed.
