Chapter 96

Lu Kuan had Liu Yifei sit up straight, tore the hem of his T-shirt to tie tightly around the bleeding wound on her forearm, and supported her neck with his left hand.

He couldn't care about the boundaries between men and women anymore and hurriedly checked the young girl's injuries. It seemed there was only the scratch on her forearm, which made him feel relieved.

Liu Yifei had fainted from extreme fear just a moment ago and was jolted awake by the taxi going over a speed bump; only then did she open her eyes in hindsight.

"Lu Kuan?"

"You're awake. Does anything hurt?"

In summer, clothes were thin. The young girl smelled the faint scent of soap on his clothes, mixed with the warm breath of Lu Kuan speaking on her face, and she squirmed a bit shyly.

Liu Yifei said naively: "Lu Kuan, are we both dead?"

Boss Lu looked at her speechlessly: "Yes, we're going to the Bridge of Helplessness now. The bus is off duty, so we're taking a taxi."

The driver in front chuckled; this young man is really witty!

The young girl had bumped her head when she fell, and combined with losing quite a bit of blood, she was still a bit dizzy and didn't catch the sarcasm.

She still remembered why she had gone to find Lu Kuan.

"Lu Kuan, can you stop being angry with Mom and the others? I still want to act in movies; I want to be a real actor."

Boss Lu looked at her tearful, cute appearance and said with a straight face: "I've already decided to withdraw from Red Star Dock. From now on, you have nothing to do with me."

Liu Yifei couldn't control herself anymore and wailed aggrievedly, which gave Lu Kuan a start; this little girl really couldn't take a joke.

He didn't know that Liu Yifei had been holding it in for a long time. She wasn't an adult yet and couldn't influence the arrangements of her mother and Cheng Jingfei.

When the two were conspiring to delay the cashing of shares, all she could do was find Lu Kuan to tip him off.

"I... wuwu, I don't want to leave you. I want to learn acting from you, I still want to act in movies, wuwu..."

Lu Kuan looked at her with disgust as she wailed with her mouth open in his arms, snot bubbles even coming out.

With this tear-streaked and snot-covered appearance, why couldn't she act like this when she was bullied by Chen Guanxi on set that day!

"Crying is useless. Your acting is too poor; you're still far from my requirements."

Liu Yifei's eyes were red: "I will work hard! I will learn from Sister Mei."

"Isn't that what you want? I know how Fan Bingbing and the others please you. Except for that, I can do anything! I can even help you make money! I will work very hard!"

The young girl made her final plea with all her might, and in her slip of the tongue, she spilled all the scumbag's dirty secrets...

The driver was excited: Holy crap! Jin Suo? There's gossip!

Lu Kuan frowned: Holy crap! How does the little girl know?

Boss Lu held a tissue in his hand and used the excuse of wiping her nose to stop her from babbling.

But looking at this wailing posture, she didn't seem to be in any real trouble; she was even more energetic than him.

Lu Kuan tried his best to put her on the seat next to him, but didn't expect Liu Yifei to clamp onto him tightly and not let go.

"You promise to continue teaching me acting and take me to film movies, then I'll get down!"

"Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you. Get down quickly!"

Liu Yifei had just finished her tantrum and finally regained her spirit.

Feeling the ambiguous posture between her and Lu Kuan, her pretty face turned red, and she hurriedly turned over to sit properly on the side.

She stole a glance at Lu Kuan, who was exaggeratingly rubbing his thigh, clearly mocking her weight again.

The young girl was so angry that her teeth itched: "I just remembered that I saved you just now! You should agree to my request unconditionally!"

Boss Lu nodded in agreement: "I'll count it as a work-related injury. I'll reimburse your medical expenses later, and buy two jin of eggs from the supermarket for you to take home and nourish yourself."

"Ah ah ah! You're killing me!"

Liu Yifei could no longer tolerate Lu Kuan's lazy and rogue temperament; she grabbed his arm and bit him hard.

Boss Lu instinctively wanted to lift his elbow to push her away, but was afraid of hurting her, so he took a deep breath and pushed Liu Yifei's smooth forehead away.

Looking at the two rows of exquisite tooth marks on his arm, the deep parts were from her little tiger teeth.

"It's over, I'm not clean anymore."

"We're even. I don't need you to repay me. I hurt my arm, and you hurt your arm too."

Only then did the young girl feel her mind clear, and she raised an eyebrow at him triumphantly.

The driver parked the car steadily in front of the emergency room, and Lu Kuan helped Liu Yifei out of the car and into the Railway General Hospital.

The Railway General Hospital was the Century Altar Hospital of later generations. Around 2004, because the unit was overall transferred to Beiping City, this hospital, which had belonged to the railway system for 89 years, was officially renamed.

The nurse carefully cleaned the wound and bandaged it for Liu Yifei.

Lu Kuan looked at the wound; it wasn't deep, and it shouldn't leave a scar in the future, otherwise, the underage Little Liu would be "99% new with minor flaws."

Don't ask, asking means it's not for sale! Use it yourself when you're an adult!

"Xixi!"

Liu Xiaoli rushed into the emergency room like a madwoman, eagerly pulling her daughter over to check her up and down, sobbing while holding her face.

"Xixi, why are you so impulsive! What would I do if something happened to you... wuwu..."

Liu Yifei had been bickering with Lu Kuan in the car just now, but looking at her mother's heartbreak, she hugged her and cried, feeling a wave of lingering fear.

Cheng Jingfei also walked in, looking at Lu Kuan's expression, wanting to say something, but feeling it wasn't the right time, so he just went over to comfort the mother and daughter.

Lu Kuan coughed lightly, and the three of them looked at him.

"This person should have been targeting me today. Little Liu was injured while saving me."

"I have already prepared an EP for Sister Mei. Find time for her to choose songs and practice. In addition, the female lead of this *Chinese Paladin* will also be left to her."

"Little Liu, comfort Auntie Liu well, go back and rest early, and wait for my notification."

"I'm leaving first."

Cheng Jingfei nodded silently and sent Lu Kuan out the door.

"Director Lu, don't worry about the shares; there won't be any mistakes this time."

Lu Kuan had just shown his stance, and he was reciprocating.

Cheng Jingfei didn't dare to treat him as an ordinary young man or director anymore. How could an ordinary person be so calm and composed after just experiencing a life-and-death ordeal?

In his eyes, the mysterious metaphysical aura surrounding Lu Kuan became even heavier...

Otherwise, how to explain that cold-faced boy who appeared at just the right moment and kicked Lü Changchun over?

Boss Lu took Cheng Jingfei's driver's car to a hotel near his apartment.

Sun Wenwen had already completed the settlement with Wang Yongle, and Wenjie Culture had officially obtained the adaptation rights for *Chinese Paladin*.

Lu Kuan took the elevator to the 8th floor and knocked on the door gently.

The cash courier from Xiangjiang and the cold-faced parking underling were eating a late-night snack and drinking beer with Zhuang Xu. Seeing their employer arrive, they stood up, somewhat at a loss.

Boss Lu waved his hand to tell them to sit down quickly, opened a can of beer himself, and clinked it with the parking underling.

"Little brother, thank you just now. Without you, I definitely wouldn't have been able to avoid that knife today."

The cold-faced guy had a bit of social anxiety and couldn't say a word.

Lu Kuan smiled: "What should I call you?"

"A-Fei."
