"Gu Feng, I'll drive." Lan Baobao calmly told Gu Feng, knowing that if this continued, Gu Feng would surely faint. At this moment, Lan Baobao had to remain composed; Gu Feng was seriously injured and needed to go to the hospital.
"I'm fine," Gu Feng's voice was noticeably weak. After losing so much blood, how could he be fine?
"No, you need to stop the car," Lan Baobao insisted; there could be no further delay.
Gu Feng slowly pulled the car over to the side. By this time, his face had turned pale.
"Gu Feng, Gu Feng, Gu Feng!" Lan Baobao called out multiple times without a response. She looked at Gu Feng's wound, which was even half a centimeter deep. The wound was still bleeding profusely.
"Doctor, doctor!" Lan Baobao cried out desperately. She didn't think about anything else; the most important thing was to get Gu Feng treated.
Lan Baobao knew she truly could not lose Gu Feng. Right now, Gu Feng was the only person she could rely on.
Gu Feng was taken into the emergency room. There was no doubt about it.
Due to excessive blood loss, he needed a transfusion. This indicated that even though it was just an injury to his left shoulder, it was serious. Because their blood types were incompatible—Lan Baobao being stubbornly AB and Gu Feng being accommodating—she could only sit outside the emergency room and wait. This made Lan Baobao feel guilty; even the one chance she had to help Gu Feng was denied by fate. She could only pray that he would be okay.
But it was just an injury to the left shoulder and hadn't hit any vital areas; he should be fine, Lan Baobao reassured herself. Looking at Gu Feng on the bed, she knew all she could do now was wait and hope for the best.
"Lan Baobao." As soon as Gu Feng woke up in bed, his first words were to call her name. At least he had finally regained consciousness.
"Gu Feng," Lan Baobao rushed over, not caring that her own condition wasn't great either.
Gu Feng sat up. "I'm fine." Then he stood up and said, "Lan Baobao, your face..." He didn't even dare reach out to touch her because her face was swollen from the slap she received earlier.
"It's okay, your shoulder..." Lan Baobao's eyes were turning red. Gu Feng was injured so badly, yet his first words were about himself. "If it weren't for you..." Lan Baobao suddenly threw herself into Gu Feng's arms. Her heart was filled with warmth and gratitude.
Gu Feng raised his right hand and gently embraced Lan Baobao. "It's okay, let's go home, alright?"
"I'll take you home." Lan Baobao didn't expect to say this; it was usually the guy who took the girl home. "You got hurt because of me." She knew that Gu Feng was in no condition to drive right now.
"It's fine, I'm a man," Gu Feng said, his gaze filled with an indescribable tenderness. Why had she never noticed this side of Gu Feng before? No, she had always noticed it; it was just that Ye Zixun's presence complicated everything.
"Gu Feng, thank you." Lan Baobao looked at Gu Feng, her eyes filled with anxiety and guilt. If she hadn't been so willful and insisted that Aunt Zhang not tell Gu Feng where she was going, things wouldn't have turned out this way. The anxiety stemmed from Ye Zixun; how could she explain this to him? He would definitely want to know about the current situation.
Perhaps there was no need to explain at all. Why waste words on unnecessary details?
Ye Zixun used all his connections to find out that Lan Baobao had been to the previous bar.
"I'm sorry, but that girl has already left," the bartender naturally remembered the stunning woman who had left with an incredibly handsome man.
"Left? When did that happen?" Ye Zixun's eyes were filled with urgency; he had searched for her for a long time without any clues. He knew that Lan Baobao was now the most important person to him.
"About two hours ago, I think. She seemed drunk and was taken away by a man," the bartender recalled vividly.
"A man?" The first person that came to Ye Zixun's mind was Gu Feng. "What did he look like?" Ye Zixun asked stubbornly.
"Tanned skin, tall..." Before the bartender could finish, Ye Zixun interrupted him.
"Tanned?" That couldn't be Gu Feng. Was there another man? At this moment, Ye Zixun felt a bit angry.
"Well, that man even bought that sister a drink of Martini, and then she seemed to have passed out..."
Before the bar could finish, Ye Zixun already sensed that something was seriously wrong. She must have been drugged, and Lan Baobao usually had no guard up at all; what a fool. But where on earth could he find her? Ye Zixun's thoughts were in disarray.
At this moment, Ye Zixun thought about calling Gu Feng; perhaps he would have some clues now. "Gu Feng, have you found Lan Baobao?" Ye Zixun's voice was particularly anxious.
Gu Feng couldn't hide it from him, "I found her; she's fine now. I'll take her back to you tomorrow morning." Gu Feng's tone remained polite, showing no signs of anything else being amiss.
"That's good." Even though hearing that Gu Feng would bring her back tomorrow morning made him a bit angry, just finding her was already a relief. But who was that stranger?
"Lan Baobao, you won't mind not going back; Ye Zixun shouldn't be angry, right?" Gu Feng was still worried that Ye Zixun would make things difficult for Lan Baobao. After all, Gu Feng already knew that Lan Baobao had quarreled with Ye Zixun over previous matters.
"It's fine; I'm not his puppet." Lan Baobao still had no intention of telling Gu Feng about what happened between her and Ye Zixun. Moreover, at this moment, Lan Baobao wanted to share some other things with Gu Feng.
"Then I'll take you back early tomorrow." Gu Feng smiled. In truth, he didn't want to take Lan Baobao back, but since he was already involved with Ye Zixun, what could he do?
"I'll drive; look at your injury; you probably won't be able to exert yourself for at least ten days or half a month." Lan Baobao looked at Gu Feng with concern. She truly felt sorry for him; if it weren't for her, there wouldn't be so much trouble. Thinking about it made her realize she was quite the troublemaker.
"What's the big deal? Lan Baobao, have you forgotten how amazing I am?" Gu Feng laughed cheerfully, looking quite handsome.
"Right, I almost forgot you're Superman. Still, you need someone to take care of you," Lan Baobao knew that Gu Feng's injury was closely related to her and felt responsible.
The two of them continued to laugh along the way. Just as they were about to open the door, Li Xiaoran called. "You answer the phone; I'll open the door," Gu Feng said as he entered the code.
"Ye Zixun? What's wrong?" Lan Baobao was somewhat surprised; she hadn't been in touch with Li Xiaoran for a while.
"No, didn't you have someone ask about me? Is this because you missed me and decided to give me a call?" Li Xiaoran's voice finally returned to its humorous tone. It had been a long time since he had checked in on Li Xiaoran; he had been quite busy with his own matters lately.
"Is that so? Aren't you afraid I might be sleeping?" Lan Baobao replied casually.
"Sleeping? It's only a little past nine! You go to bed this early? What about the kids?" Li Xiaoran leaned back in his office chair, leisurely checking the progress of recent cases.
"Yeah," Lan Baobao walked into the room, "Aren't you busy?"
"The company just wrapped up a big case, so I have some downtime now." Li Xiaoran had indeed been quite busy recently.
"That's great! You could go on a short trip or something," Lan Baobao said with a hint of envy. Suddenly, Lan Baobao remembered that besides Gu Feng, she still had Li Xiaoran.
"What are you doing? Are you watching financial reports with Ye Zixun?" Li Xiaoran knew that Ye Zixun was a busy person who only cared about business and always thought that Lan Baobao might turn into someone like that too.
Mentioning Ye Zixun made Lan Baobao's heart skip a beat, but she still calmly replied to Li Xiaoran, "No, I'm at Gu Feng's place." This piqued Li Xiaoran's interest. "Gu Feng? Aren't you at home?" How could Ye Zixun allow Lan Baobao to be at Gu Feng's house at this hour?
"Gu Feng got hurt, so I brought him home." As soon as she said it, Lan Baobao regretted it; she knew this would worry Li Xiaoran. She didn't know when Li Xiaoran started to like Gu Feng, but such feelings were hard to hide. The straightforward Li Xiaoran had no idea how to conceal her affection. However, Li Xiaoran always knew that the one Gu Feng cared for was Lan Baobao.
"Hurt? What happened to Gu Feng?" As expected, Li Xiaoran reacted this way. But it was too late for Lan Baobao to regret; the words had already slipped out.
Gu Feng gestured for Lan Baobao to stop. In fact, Gu Feng sensed Li Xiaoran's feelings and didn't want her to worry.
"It's nothing; just a minor injury..." Seeing Gu Feng's gesture, the boss quickly added, even though it was indeed contrary to the truth.
"Impossible! If it were just an injury, why would you need to bring Gu Feng back?" It seemed that Li Xiaoran couldn't be deceived easily. She was quite perceptive.
Gu Feng shook his head, knowing there was no way out. This guy really...
"Actually, Gu Feng got hurt on his left shoulder while trying to save me; the wound is quite deep," Lan Baobao explained.
"Thug? Lan Baobao, what happened to you?" Li Xiaoran became even more worried. It was important to know that Li Xiaoran's closest friends were Gu Feng and Lan Baobao. With both of them in trouble, how could Li Xiaoran not be concerned?
Lan Baobao regretted saying the wrong thing. "It's just that I didn't want to worry you; look at how anxious you are. We're fine now, aren't we?" Lan Baobao sat down helplessly. Afraid of making others worry about her, Lan Baobao felt indebted.
"There must be something serious going on, Lan Baobao. I know you wouldn't let anything happen, so I guess I'll have to check it out myself." In the middle of the night, Li Xiaoran was actually going to come here; it was really... unavoidable.
Just as Lan Baobao was about to say something, Li Xiaoran had already hung up the phone. Lan Baobao shook her head at Gu Feng. Gu Feng surely knew that Li Xiaoran would have a terrible nightmare.
"Li Xiaoran is coming?" Gu Feng asked softly, confirming.
"Yeah, she’s worried," Lan Baobao had always known about Li Xiaoran's feelings for Gu Feng, but since Gu Feng didn't feel the same way, it had always been difficult to address.
"She’s always like this; Li Xiaoran has a kind heart," Gu Feng said honestly.
