Chapter 33: I’ll Send You Off

When Qiao An’s best friends saw Li Xiaoran’s true appearance, they were all shocked by his peerless looks.

Li Xiaoran did not pay attention to the girls around him. He just walked straight to Qiao An and asked nervously, “Which foot did you sprain?”

Qiao An pointed casually at his right leg. Li reached out and touched the bone of her knee. “Is this it?” he asked very seriously and anxiously.

Jo Ann stammered, “No… yes.”

“Is that here?” Li Xiaoran touched a few places in a row, but Qiao An shook her head.

At this moment, he heard whispers around him. “Heavens, he’s so handsome.”

“He looks so charming at work.”

Li Xiaoran looked up and swept his gaze across the room of girls. He instantly remembered that these girls were the ones in the photos Qiao An had shown him earlier.

Only then did Li Xiaoran realize that Qiao An had tricked him into going on a blind date. He placed his hand on Qiao An’s ankle and sneered. “Then it’s dislocated here?”

Ann nodded miserably. “Yes, yes, yes. It hurts there.”

Li Xiaoran gently exerted strength, and with a crack, Qiao An’s ankle was really dislocated.

“Ah,” Qiao An howled in pain.

Li Xiaoran looked at her mischievously and smiled. “I connected it. It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

It did not hurt because she could not feel it anymore.

Qiao An wanted to cry.

“Doctor Li, my ankle is really dislocated,” she said with tears in her eyes.

Li Xiaoran lowered his voice and threatened her, “Tell your friend to leave. I’ll help you fix it.”

Qiao An said, “You should at least look at them. These are the nine beauties I’ve worked so hard to get for you. One of them could be your type.”

Li Xiaoran glared at her fiercely.

Qiao An was furious. If she hadn’t seen Li Xiaoran selling his house to treat her mother, she wouldn’t have put in so much effort to help him find a girlfriend.

This guy wasn’t cooperating at all. It pissed her off.

“Okay, okay, sisters, you go back first. Doctor Li will treat you to dinner another day.”

“Alright. Doctor Li, we’ll wait for your invitation.”

The girls left, giggling.

Qiao An begged Li Xiaoran, “Can you help me now?”

Li Xiaoran held her ankle and gently pushed it.

Qiao An’s eyes widened in shock. When she looked at Li Xiaoran again, her face was filled with sympathy.

“Pity. What a waste of good looks,” Qiao An said with a wistful look.

Li Xiaoran was speechless.

Li Xiaoran suddenly thought of something and his handsome face suddenly bloomed with surprise. “Qiao An, can you feel your feet again?”

Only then did Qiao An wake up from her dream. Her lower body originally only felt a little, so she wasn’t sensitive to pain. However, when she dislocated it just now, she clearly felt the pain.

In order to test her senses, Li Xiaoran rolled up her pants and gently touched her skin with his fingertips.

Qiao An smiled. She nodded happily. “Dr. Lee, I feel it.”

Li Xiaoran smiled. “Congratulations, Qiao An. You’ve recovered. I think you can be discharged soon.”

Qiao An was thrilled. “Thank you, Dr. Li. You gave me a new lease of life. You’re practically my second parent.”

Li Xiaoran said, “Qiao An, you have to be sincere when thanking someone.”

Qiao An looked at him and said pitifully, “I don’t have any gift money for you. Will a hundred dollars in red packets do?”

Li Xiaoran was speechless.

“Do I look poor?”

“It’s not a big deal!”

Li Xiaoran was speechless.

Qiao An thought for a moment. “I can give you my life. Why don’t you take a look at my organs the day I die? Take anything useful.”

Li Xiaoran would never buy at a loss. “I picked up your life in the first place. It belongs to me.”

Qiao An gaped in shock.

To think her own life did not belong to her.

Li Xiaoran leaned over and stared at her. “You really want to thank me?”

Qiao An nodded sincerely. She was certainly someone who would return kindness.

Li Xiaoran said, “Qiao An, if I die alone one day and become blind and deaf without any descendants to take care of me, are you willing to bring me home and send me off?”

Qiao An punched him in the chest. “You must have children and grandchildren when you get old. Why would no one send you off?”

Li Xiaoran’s expression was very serious. “What if?”

Qiao An vowed, “Then I’ll take you home? I’ll see you off.”

Li Xiaoran smiled extremely brightly.

“You must remember our agreement.”

“Got it.”

After Qiao An’s leg recovered, she began to imagine being discharged.

“When I get out of the hospital, I’m going to eat at a food stall.”

Li Xiaoran poured cold water on her. “Looks like I have to delay your discharge.”

Qiao An was confused. “Why?”

Li Xiaoran said, “Qiao An, after this ordeal, your body’s immune system is very weak. So for a long time, you need to recuperate your body. Remember, porridge and egg soup for breakfast, rice and vegetables for lunch, and some proper noodles for dinner. Drink only plain water. Eat more fruits.”

Qiao An was so stunned that she couldn’t close her mouth for a long time. Then she sighed lifelessly. “Do I have to learn to nourish myself like a middle-aged woman?”

Li Xiaoran said, “Wrong. You have to learn from an old granny!”

Qiao An’s lips thinned. “That’s no way to live.”

Li Xiaoran’s eyes were filled with longing. “If you can’t do it, then continue to stay in the hospital.”

Then he turned and stalked away.

He didn’t give Qiao An time to argue.

Qiao An began to work her legs out on the bed, rubbing, squeezing, then slowly lifting them again, working tirelessly.

The lawyer’s voice kept echoing in her head. “If you want a smooth divorce, you have to get evidence of your husband’s infidelity and transfer of assets.”

Qiao An couldn’t wait to get out of the hospital so she could do what she wanted.

Her efforts had finally paid off.

Early one morning, Qiao An woke up to find that her legs were unusually agile. She got out of bed in surprise and walked slowly along the wall. Finally, she let go of the wall with both hands and could actually move freely.

Joy bloomed in Qiao An’s eyes.

She could walk.

Then she would have a way to deal with Li Zecheng.

To cover her tracks, Qiao An didn’t tell anyone she was already mobile.

On this day, she used the excuse of going downstairs to bask in the sun and slid her wheelchair to the hospital’s lawn square alone. She then stood up in an empty corner, hid her wheelchair, changed herself with the clothes she had prepared in advance, and secretly left the hospital.

She quietly returned to her and Li Zecheng’s house, turned on Li Zecheng’s computer, and began to search for information about the company.
