Chapter 1796: A Belated Congratulations

The leading man turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then, he asked unwillingly, "Do you know whose people we are? You dare to meddle in other people's business!"

"I don't care who you are; if you don't get lost now, I'll break your necks!"

Hmph, what a big mouth!

The leader opened his mouth to retort.

But thinking of the injuries on his own body...

He lost his nerve.

This person even left while supporting his accomplices.

As for the guy who had been lying on the ground, motionless, he had already sat up.

Seeing there was no more excitement to watch, he commented, "You're really becoming more and more of a show-off."

The man, currently covered in injuries and even weak in his speech, was actually Ling Yu.

His body was a mess, but the corners of his mouth were still curled up.

Xie Wanyi, however, could not laugh, and he said, "I thought you were going to keep playing dead."

"How could I? I was just biding my time."

"Biding your time? I think you're just deceiving yourself; to think you were beaten like this by a few small-time thugs."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yu's emotions became agitated.

He emphasized, "What small-time thugs? Those were mercenaries! The only reason I'm still alive is that the public security here is good, and they didn't dare to be too arrogant!"

"Then how did you provoke such people?"

"I... don't ask for now, just treat my wounds for me."

Xie Wanyi leaned over to help Ling Yu up, but said, "I'd better take you to the Hospital."

"Do I really need to go to the Hospital for these minor injuries?"

People with their status were easily injured.

If they had to go to the Hospital every time they got hurt, it would be very troublesome.

Besides, it wasn't every time they were injured that they could hold on until they were sent to the Hospital.

Therefore, members of Wuyou Hall would all treat their own wounds.

Xie Wanyi also had the ability to bandage Ling Yu.

But he was worried that Ling Yu was too severely injured and had suffered organ damage, so he refused, saying, "No, it's safer to go to the Hospital."

"You... sigh, you're really becoming more and more precious of your life."

"If one can live well, who wants to die?"

Xie Wanyi's tone of voice was very flat.

Yet Ling Yu sensed something.

He looked at Xie Wanyi's profile, seeing him gently pursing his lips.

In the end, Ling Yu still went to the Hospital.

His injuries were not considered light, nor were they considered severe.

But he needed to stay in the Hospital for observation.

Ling Yu felt it was completely unnecessary and even wanted to sneak away.

However, when he saw the young nurse coming in and out of the ward...

Ling Yu changed his mind.

He even frequently flirted with the young nurse.

Xie Wanyi really couldn't stand it anymore!

Just as the doctor needed to speak with him about Ling Yu's condition, Xie Wanyi left the ward to avoid seeing it and feeling annoyed.

And it was during this time that the phone Xie Wanyi had left on the small table rang.

Ling Yu leaned over to take a look and discovered the contact name was "Baby".

The only person who could be called this nickname by Xie Wanyi...

Was just one person.

Ling Yu could naturally guess the answer.

It was just that this answer made him roll his eyes, thinking that while he couldn't stand others being mushy, he himself did nothing but mushy things!

What kind of person!

However, complaining aside, seeing the phone ring for a long time, Ling Yu answered it for Xie Wanyi.

"Wanyi, what are you doing? Why did it take you so long to answer the phone? Are you very busy?"

As soon as the call was answered, a gentle voice rang out from the other side.

Ling Yu said with a smile, "Hmm... he's not too busy."

The unexpected voice made Jiang Motian pause.

The next second, she looked at her phone screen.

She hadn't dialed the wrong number.

So...

Jiang Motian held the phone back to her ear and asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

"You can't even recognize my voice? Sigh, it's me, Ling Yu."

Ling Yu?

Jiang Motian knew he was Xie Wanyi's good friend.

At that, she let go of the wariness in her heart and even said with a smile, "Long time no see."

"Indeed, long time no see. Oh, let me offer you some belated congratulations—congratulations on you and Wanyi finally becoming a couple!"

"Thank you."

After Jiang Motian finished speaking, she asked again, "Why are you answering Wanyi's phone? Where is he?"

"I didn't pay attention to where that guy went. Maybe he went outside the hospital room to get some fresh air."

Hearing the word "Hospital," Jiang Motian immediately became nervous: "Why did you go to the Hospital? Who is hurt?"

"Me, just some minor flesh wounds."

So that was it.

Jiang Motian let out a breath, and she relaxed as well.

Her relaxation was a bit too obvious; Ling Yu heard it even through the phone.

This made him say helplessly, "Me being hurt isn't exactly something worth celebrating, is it?"

"Uh, no, no, that... I'll come see you."

Jiang Motian knew she had been impolite.

To make up for it, she prepared to make a trip to the Hospital.

Ling Yu, however, felt it wasn't necessary: "I'm not missing an arm or a leg; there's no need to visit."

"You guys don't go to the Hospital easily. If you've gone to the Hospital, it means the problem isn't small. I'd better come see you."

"Yo, you're quite the expert."

"So, which Hospital are you at?"

Ling Yu didn't decline this time; he opened his mouth and recited the name of a Hospital.

Jiang Motian knew that Hospital, and she said, "I happen to be nearby; I'll be there soon."

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Motian set off in the direction of the Hospital.

On the way, she even bought a bouquet of fresh flowers.

When she appeared before Ling Yu holding the bouquet...

She couldn't help but gasp!

On the phone, Ling Yu's voice had been full of life, and she had thought nothing much was wrong with him.

But the reality of him...

Was a bit too miserable to look at!

Ling Yu shifted his body uncomfortably and asked, "Am I that scary?"

"Yes, I almost didn't recognize you."

Ling Yu turned his head, looked at himself in the mirror, and evaluated: "It's not that exaggerated, I'm still very handsome."

"You... as long as you think you're handsome."

Jiang Motian regained her composure and then placed the bouquet of flowers on the table.

She wanted to ask if Xie Wanyi had returned.

Behind her, however, came the sound of the door opening first.

Jiang Motian turned back, and after making eye contact with the person at the door, her lips immediately curved into a smile.

"Wanyi, you're back!"

Xie Wanyi hadn't expected to see Jiang Motian here and was stunned.

Then he asked in confusion, "Why did you come?"

"I called you, and Ling Yu answered. I found out he was hurt and hospitalized, so I came to see him."

Hearing this explanation, Xie Wanyi couldn't help but look bewildered.

He felt his pockets and only then discovered his phone wasn't in them.

Seeing this, Ling Yu held up a black phone and shook it.

Then he said, "How can you be so careless? You even forgot to take your phone."

It was indeed Xie Wanyi's carelessness this time.

He took the phone and asked, "You didn't say anything nonsense to Tiantian, did you?"

Ling Yu's smile was mischievous: "What do you have that's worth me talking nonsense about?"

"I might not, but your mouth is very good at spouting nonsense."

"Oh my, if you're going to evaluate me like that..."

Ling Yu got a rebellious streak, turned his head, and said to Jiang Motian, "Let me tell you, Wanyi used to be afraid of water, and in order to overcome his fear, he..."

Just as he reached the crucial part, Xie Wanyi pressed his hand onto Ling Yu's wound.

Instantly, Ling Yu yelped in pain.
