Chapter 298: He Was Afraid That She Would Be In A Difficult Position

When Pei Jingzhou arrived at the hospital, the chauffeur was supposed to drive, but Pei Jingzhou pulled him down.
Chen Xin sat in the front passenger seat, his hand tightly gripping the handle as he thought to himself, I want to live for another 500 years…
The car was moving too fast.
Chen Xin could understand Mr. Pei’s anxiety and worry. Therefore, after arriving at the hospital and getting out of the car, Chen Xin waited until Mr. Pei entered the hospital before holding the car door and kneeling down.
After a while, Chen Xin stood up with the help of the car door. However, his walking posture was a little awkward.
Outside the ward.
Chen Xin walked in and saw Mr. Pei standing there. He did not enter and subconsciously thought that the people inside were not allowing him to enter. After all, the Old Madam of the MO family was still there and there were so many bodyguards guarding her. Mr. Pei probably could not enter.
Chen Xin walked over and stood beside Pei Jingzhou. “Mr. Pei, why don’t you call Madam again?” He asked Madam to talk to Old Madam MO and open the door for Mr. Pei to enter.
Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways. “Chen Xin.”
Chen Xin quickly responded, “Aye.”
Pei Jingzhou asked, “Do you think.. she lied to me?
Chen Xin was stunned by this question.
Madam said that she had suffered a small injury, but she was hospitalized. If it was really a small injury, she would have gone back after treating her wound. Why would she be hospitalized?
Chen Xin wanted to say something but hesitated.
Pei Jingzhou retracted his gaze and placed his hand on the doorknob. He pressed down and the door opened!
It turned out that Mr. Pei was in such a hurry to come up, but he was not in a hurry to enter. It was not because he was blocked outside by Old Madam MO) but because he was afraid of seeing the scene that he was afraid of.
For example, Madam was seriously injured…
In the ward, Li Xiwu and Guan Suling were talking.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened. Li Xiwu looked up and saw Pei Jingzhou. He seemed to have arrived even earlier than she had expected.
Li Xiwu slowly stood up. When she stood up, she could feel a slight pain in her knee, but it was not that obvious. She saw Pei Jingzhou coming in and seeing her, and suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Li Xiwu knew that he had seen the bandage on her forehead. The corners of her lips moved and her voice was dry. “Fourth Brother.”
Pei Jingzhou walked over and stood in front of her. He sized her up with his sharp gaze. The most eye-catching wound was on her forehead. He did not respond and only looked at her quietly for a long time.
Li Xiwu noticed that Pei Jingzhou’s forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat. He could rush over in such a short time. She said, “Fourth Brother must have sped.”
Pei Jingzhou subconsciously denied it. “No.”
Li Xiwu raised her hand and wiped the thin layer of sweat on his forehead with her sleeve. “You lied, right?”
Pei Jingzhou was speechless. While wiping his sweat, Pei Jingzhou was quiet and did not say a word. Li Xiwu felt that he was a little stiff, so she took the initiative and asked him, “Do you want some water? Grandma just boiled some water. I warmed a cup.”
Pei Jingzhou said, “Okay.”
Li Xiwu put her hand down, rolled up her sleeves, and turned around to get a glass of water. Pei Jingzhou grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. His movements were careful, as if she was a porcelain doll that had been pieced together. If he was not careful, he would break her.
Pei Jingzhou’s heart swelled. His gaze landed on the gauze on her forehead.
“Here again.”
Li Xiwu did not use her hair to cover the gauze. It was too obvious. Even if she did, it would be useless. She raised her face openly and let him see her. “It’s just a small injury. It doesn’t hurt.”
Pei Jingzhou said, “How can it not hurt?”
Li Xiwu smiled. “Does Fourth Brother’s heart ache?”
Pei Jingzhou’s voice was stifled. “Yes.”
Guan Suling did not disturb the two of them. She walked away silently so that they could have a good chat.
Chen Xin was about to leave when Pei Jingzhou stopped him. “Chen Xin.” Chen Xin immediately turned around. Pei Jingzhou said, “Go to the attending doctor.”
Chen Xin nodded, “I’ll go now.”
Pei Jingzhou didn’t know the exact condition of Li Xiwu’s body, so he asked Chen Xin to go to the doctor to understand the situation.
After Chen Xin left, he closed the door considerately. The atmosphere instantly fell silent.
Li Xiwu gestured to Pei Jingzhou. “Fourth Brother, let go.”
Pei Jingzhou asked, “Where are you going?
Li Xiwu said, “I’ll get you some water.”
Pei Jingzhou laughed angrily. “Are you a patient or am I a patient?”
Li Xiwu thought for a moment and said, “It seems to be me.”
Pei Jingzhou sighed and pulled Li Xiwu to the bed. “Sit down.”
Li Xiwu did as instructed. Pei Jingzhou turned around and went to get the glass of water that Li Xiwu was using just now. He returned and drank it in front of her.
Li Xiwu smiled. “Fourth Brother is so obedient.”
Pei Jingzhou looked down at her. “You’re the one who’s not obedient.”
The smile on Li Xiwu’s face faded a little. “This was an accident.”
Pei Jingzhou put the cup aside and controlled his emotions well. At least he did not lose control in front of her. “How did it happen?
Li Xiwu pursed her lips and said nothing.
She remembered clearly how this happened. Speaking of which, it might have something to do with Pei Jingzhou. That live-stream was something she did not expect at first. She wanted to go back and continue recording the show after the discussion. Because of the live-stream, she angered Qi Zishen, causing these things to happen.
It was also because of this that Li Xiwu did not speak for a long time.
Pei Jingzhou saw that she was depressed. “Even if you don’t tell me, I’ll find out later.”
Li Xiwu looked up at him. “Aren’t you concerned about my current mood? Why are you asking me how this happened? Am I not that important?”
Pei Jingzhou narrowed his eyes and fell silent. Only Li Xiwu knew that she was being unreasonable. She was afraid that Pei Jingzhou would blame himself.
Pei Jingzhou slowly leaned over with a gentle expression. “Does your head hurt?” He knew that she wouldn’t say it for a while, so he didn’t chase after her to clarify in case she was unhappy.
The corners of Li Xiwu’s lips curled up. “I’m much better now.”
Pei Jingzhou said, “You haven’t had breakfast yet, right?”
Li Xiwu nodded. “Mm.”
Pei Jingzhou took out his phone. Seeing this, Li Xiwu said, “Grandma has prepared breakfast.”
Pei Jingzhou’s hand paused. Then, he put away his cell phone and fell silent. Actually, Li Xiwu could tell that Pei Jingzhou had a lot to say. Because she was unwilling to say more, he held back and did not ask, afraid that she would be put in a difficult position.
She reached out to him. Pei Jingzhou’s gaze landed on her open palm. Without hesitation, he handed it to her. Li Xiwu gently held Pei Jingzhou’s hand. “You’re sitting and talking to me like this. It feels like you’re lecturing me. I don’t even dare to talk to you anymore.”
It was rare for her tone to be so soft. Pei Jingzhou’s heart softened and he immediately compromised. He replied, “Okay.” He moved to the chair beside him and sat down.
Li Xiwu knew that he would compromise. It was precisely because she knew that she had deliberately said that. To be more precise, she had already controlled Pei Jingzhou. She smiled at the thought..
