Chapter 865: Tell Her Everything

Li Xiao's brows tightened instantly, and he hesitated slightly.

Immediately after, he heard Lao Wu say anxiously, "Third Master, only you can try now. Wanwan's fever is so high, and her wounds haven't healed yet. If this continues, it won't be good if it triggers a secondary infection in her wounds..."

The others also added worriedly, "Third Master, just give it a try..."

With the Doctor present, they did not call Li Xiao "Asura."

Li Xiao caught a glimpse of the worried expressions on everyone's faces, hesitated for another moment, and finally took the pill from the Doctor, sat on the edge of the bed, and helped Luo Wanwan sit up.

Luo Wanwan still had her eyes closed, her entire body burning hot.

"Wanwan? Wake up?"

Li Xiao tentatively called Luo Wanwan's name twice.

Then, just as his voice fell, he saw the previously tightly furrowed brows of the person before him relax slightly.

He hadn't expected it to actually be effective, and his mood suddenly became even more complicated.

He tentatively brought the medicine to Luo Wanwan's lips and whispered, "You're sick. Take the medicine first, okay?"

Luo Wanwan did not react, and her brows knitted together again, as if she had an inexplicable resistance to taking medicine.

Li Xiao had no choice but to continue persuading her: "Wanwan, open your mouth. Once you take the medicine, we won't bother you here anymore and will let you rest properly..."

As he spoke, he pressed the pill against Luo Wanwan's lips.

Seemingly moved by his words, Luo Wanwan stopped clenching her teeth, showing signs of loosening up.

Li Xiao seized the opportunity, gripped her jaw, forced her to open her mouth, and then tossed the pill inside.

"There is water here."

Seeing this, Lao Wu hurriedly handed over a cup of water.

Li Xiao took it, carefully brought the rim of the cup to her lips, and helped Luo Wanwan adjust to a suitable position.

Watching her finally make a swallowing motion, he felt slightly relieved.

"That's it, there shouldn't be any problems now, right?"

Li Xiao looked at the Doctor opposite him.

The Doctor also breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "That's it. From here on, as long as the fever breaks, there won't be any issues. Everyone, please leave first and let this young lady rest in peace."

"Alright."

Li Xiao agreed, and as he spoke, he prepared to stand up.

But just as he moved—

The corner of his clothes was suddenly gripped tightly by a few fingers!

"Li Xiao..."

Luo Wanwan seemed to sense that Li Xiao was about to leave and was holding onto his hem with some reluctance.

The atmosphere in the room froze for a moment.

The expressions on the faces of Lao Wu and the others became even more colorful.

Unfortunately, the Doctor also chose this moment to say something ill-timed: "Sir, your girlfriend is still sick; it would be best if you stayed here to accompany..."

"Doctor Deng! I'll take you back first!"

Laoqi's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly interrupted the Doctor, stepping forward to grab his arm and pull him up.

The others also hurriedly said, "Third Master, we... we'll go out first to see the Doctor off..."

As they spoke, the group busily pushed the bewildered Doctor Deng out.

They didn't forget to thoughtfully close the door.

For a time, only Li Xiao and Luo Wanwan remained in the room.

Luo Wanwan still kept her eyes tightly shut, with only her fingers clutching Li Xiao, unwilling to let go.

She also intermittently whispered his name.

Li Xiao's mood was extremely complicated. He stared at her helplessly for a few seconds before slowly extending his hand and forcibly pulling his hem free.

"Wanwan, get some rest. I'm heading back now."

He said this in a low voice, not knowing if the person on the bed could hear him, and after speaking, he turned and walked toward the door of the room.

Outside—

The group sent the Doctor to the elevator and huddled in the hallway, whispering to each other.

"Lao Si, why did you close the door just now!"

Laoqi looked at the tightly shut door not far away, speechless.

"You know the relationship between Wanwan and Asura. With a lone man and woman locked in there, what if the Madam comes looking for him now? If she sees Wanwan holding onto Asura and not letting go, wouldn't Asura be unable to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River?"

"I just did it out of habit... I really didn't think that much..."

Lao Si offered a pale defense, wishing he could chop his own hand off.

Lao Wu also sighed, then waved his hand, forcibly comforting himself: "The Madam isn't that unreasonable, and Asura surely wouldn't do anything to betray the Madam..."

As they were talking, they heard the door not far away suddenly open!

Li Xiao walked out just like that.

"Asura, you..."

Laoqi subconsciously wanted to ask why he had come out so quickly.

Then he felt it sounded a bit strange, so he hurriedly swallowed his words.

Immediately after, he heard Li Xiao say: "Take good care of her, keep an eye on her condition at all times, and bring her something to eat when she wakes up."

"Yes."

The group hurriedly agreed.

Li Xiao didn't say anything more and walked straight into the elevator.

The elevator doors slowly closed, and his ears finally quieted down.

Yet his taut nerves did not relax in the slightest.

Xiao Tang was still angry...

He did not want the two of them to go on arguing like this, with things left unclear.

Although he did not want to make her worry, but... it would be better to have a proper talk and tell her everything.

He had promised that he would not keep anything from her again.

Inside the room—

Luo Wanwan slowly opened her eyes, her gaze clear.

She lay on the bed without moving, just quietly listening to Li Xiao walk away.

The hand hidden under the quilt, however, had long since been unable to help but clench the bedsheets.

Not until the sounds of Lao Wu and the others also gradually faded did Luo Wanwan suddenly turn over and sit up from the bed.

She opened the bathroom door, fished out a Chip only the size of a fingernail from under the sink, and let out a cold snort.

She hadn't expected that this thing wouldn't come in handy today after all...

Li Xiao had actually left so quickly!

She had thought he would stay and keep her company for a while, just like yesterday...

If Cai Xiaotang called again, with this signal jammer that only worked within the range of this room, it would be impossible for the call to get through...

She would definitely be unable to resist coming over directly.

By then, she would be able to carefully "admire" how Li Xiao was taking care of her.

It was just a pity...

Thinking of the force with which Li Xiao had mercilessly pulled her away just now, a flash of coldness crossed Luo Wanwan's eyes.

Heh...

It didn't matter if he didn't come.

She had plenty of ways to let Cai Xiaotang know!

On the other side—

Cai Xiaotang was feeling depressed all by herself in her room.

Her good mood from coming here to travel had completely vanished; she even felt like going home.

If she had known it would be like this, she might as well have come alone under the guise of work!

Just as Cai Xiaotang was thinking this, she suddenly heard her phone vibrate.

She picked it up casually and saw a message sent by Jiang Baobao.

【Xiao Tang, how did your talk with Li Xiao go?】

Cai Xiaotang stared at it for a few seconds, not knowing how to reply for a moment.

Feeling incredibly stifled inside, she pondered for a long while before having no choice but to reply truthfully: 【Not great.】
