Chapter 58 Taking Care of 3

She remained silent, tacitly agreeing with Gu Jinghe's words.

Gu Jinghe leaned gently on Qiao Xiao's shoulder, his tall figure appearing incredibly frail at that moment.

Before Qiao Xiao could even stand up straight, the pain from her period suddenly subsided, making her feel a little relieved.

Qin Yan stared at the two people clinging tightly to each other. His fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force, and his nails dug deep into his palms, causing a stinging pain. But his gaze became increasingly sharp and cold.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

Qin Yan questioned sarcastically, "Is it really appropriate for a man to be so dependent on a woman?"

Qiao Xiao immediately recognized Qin Yan and replied without hesitation, "Is it any of your business to interfere?"

Gu Jinghe buried his head deeply in Qiao Xiao's arms, looking pitiful. At that moment, a sly and barely perceptible smile flashed in his eyes.

Qin Yan keenly noticed the subtle change in Gu Jinghe's expression and muttered to himself: How come this guy is even more annoying than Qin Yan! He's so insidious!

He stood there lazily, hands casually in his pockets, his eyes scrutinizing, a slight smirk playing on his lips, revealing a hint of threat: "We'll see."

After saying this, Qin Yan took control of her body and turned to leave without hesitation.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to glance at Gu Jinghe with disdain, as if to tell him that he didn't care about his existence.

The others didn't care about Qin Yan's departure at all, and didn't even bother to lift their eyelids.

Jiang Yu watched everything unfolding before him, utterly bewildered. He couldn't help but ask, "Why is the butler being beaten by the employer?"

At the same time, he tried to reach out and pull Gu Jinghe away from Qiao Xiao's embrace, but just then, Qiao Xiao stopped him with a sharp look in her eyes.

Jiang Yu was startled by Qiao Xiao's gaze and froze on the spot. He never expected Qiao Xiao to react this way.

He stared at Qiao Xiao for a long time before asking, "Do you like her?"

Faced with Jiang Yu's questioning, Qiao Xiao did not give a clear answer, but simply replied, "He needs my care."

Upon hearing this answer, Gu Jinghe felt a pang of disappointment. A hint of resentment flashed in his bright eyes, as if he couldn't accept Qiao Xiao's cold attitude towards him.

Jiang Yu, interpreting the negative meaning in Qiao Xiao's answer, was secretly delighted. He didn't know why he couldn't help but smile, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

Jiang Yu suggested, "Your young master seems to be unwell. Would you like me to help take him home? I know the way well."

Gu Jinghe astutely grasped the crux of the problem: "How do you know which way to go?"

Jiang Yu smiled slyly and replied, "Because I escort her to and from here every day, this esteemed young master."

Gu Jinghe replied indifferently, "Is that so?" He was uneasy, but his expression remained unchanged, his eyes filled with bitterness.

Seeing that he didn't react, Jiang Yu felt a little uneasy and a sour feeling.

The doctor stood by, trembling, not daring to breathe or utter a single word.

These people had such a powerful aura that he was really worried he might accidentally say the wrong thing and offend any of them, thus bringing unnecessary trouble or even harm upon himself.

Qiao Xiao frowned and looked at the doctor in front of her, asking, "Doctor, when can I leave?" Her tone revealed a hint of urgency.

The doctor took a deep breath and tried to remain calm: "We need to observe you for a few more days, don't worry."

Qiao Xiao pressed for details, asking, "How many days?" Her gaze was fixed on the doctor, as if trying to find the answer in his expression and eyes.

The doctor hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Three or four days..."

Qiao Xiao asked in a calm voice, "What if I want to be discharged from the hospital right now, and my attitude is very firm?"

The doctor sighed helplessly and replied, "I can't stop you, but you have to take responsibility for your own life." His words were full of helplessness and worry.

Jiang Yu's voice was tinged with nervousness and worry as she asked the doctor about precautions after her discharge, assuring him that she would take good care of her.

The doctor sighed softly, his gaze sweeping over them, seemingly with a hint of helplessness.

They eventually agreed to let them be discharged, but reminded them that since they insisted on leaving the hospital, they had to go through the discharge procedures first.

At this moment, Gu Jinghe stepped forward and said he would handle the formalities.

He was, after all, an adult, and more familiar with how to handle these matters, making him more adept than Jiang Yu.

However, the doctor's gaze fell on Gu Jinghe, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise and concern.

Doctor: "This gentleman's condition is very poor; he is severely malnourished. In fact, he is the one who most needs hospitalization."

Hearing this, a hint of apology flashed across Qiao Xiao's face. "Thank you for your concern. I promise I will take good care of him."

The doctor frowned slightly, looking at the complicated scene before him. He wondered if Qiao Xiao had abused Gu Jinghe, but judging from their state, well, one was willing to hit and the other was willing to be hit.

It's both laughable and pathetic that a sick person takes care of another patient and speaks so self-righteously.

Qiao Xiao: "I'll handle the discharge procedures myself, so don't worry about it."

Jiang Yu: "I've noticed you're joking around more and more these days."

Qiao Xiao: "I didn't."

Gu Jinghe: "You're feeling weak right now, so don't run around."

Qiao Xiao: "You're telling me this? (You're already so weak, and you still rushed over in the middle of the night?)"

Her tone was firm and left no room for argument: "Stay quiet."

Qiao Xiao turned and walked out of the ward, leaving Gu Jinghe and Jiang Yu looking at each other in bewilderment.

Looking at Gu Jinghe, Jiang Yu felt a sense of shared misfortune. Having a stubborn savior was really not a good thing.

Gu Jinghe's feelings for Qiao Xiao are admiration; she is someone he would never forget even if he drank the Meng Po soup (a legendary soup of oblivion); she is like a glass bottle filled with broken sugar cubes; she is like tenderness hidden behind a veil of lies.

Jiang Yu, on the other hand, felt more gratitude towards Qiao Xiao. He was obsessively determined to be the only person Qiao Xiao had redeemed. He valued uniqueness to an extent that surpassed even Qiao Xiao's own feelings.

Therefore, seeing Gu Jinghe inevitably evoked a sense of territorial disputes.

"Are you alright?" Jiang Yu couldn't help but ask.

Gu Jinghe looked at him warily, like a red-crowned crane with an injured hand struggling in a swamp.

Gu Jinghe felt like a wounded red-crowned crane, struggling to move forward in this swamp called love. He carefully guarded that feeling, but could never escape the torment of pain.

Jiang Yu's appearance made him uneasy, as if it were a continuation of a nightmare. He was afraid of losing Qiao Xiao, and even more afraid of being hurt beyond repair.

In this world full of contradictions and struggles, they confront each other, each harboring complex emotions.
