boom--
The teapot slammed heavily onto Lu Qiyao's back, splashing scalding hot water all over his spine.
The teapot flew through the air in an arc, rolled onto the hard floor tiles, and shattered.
Hot water soaked through Lu Qiyao's thin shirt.
Lu Qiyao winced in pain: "Hiss..."
A familiar voice came from above. An Ying looked up and saw Lu Qiyao standing protectively in front of her.
She asked in surprise, "Lu Qiyao? Why are you here...?"
Lu Qiyao bit his lower lip, enduring the burning pain in his back, and asked in a low voice, "How are you? Are you hurt?"
An Ying gradually came to her senses.
Only then did he realize that Lu Qiyao had saved him.
Otherwise, the scalding hot water would have splashed directly on her face and disfigured her.
She asked in a daze, "I'm fine, how are you? Is it serious? Should we go to the hospital?"
Lu Qiyao didn't care about the pain; the person he had been longing for these past few days had finally appeared before him, and he had even bravely saved her.
She no longer looked at him with that disgust, and even showed concern for his injuries.
Although Lu Qiyao was in pain, a sense of joy filled his heart.
He said pitifully, "It hurts so much, can you take a look?"
When Lu Qiyao shouted, Gu Qingwen heard the name "An Ying" and also suddenly stood up and looked towards the door.
The corridor and the opposite box were in a mess.
Teapot shards and teacup fragments scattered on the floor, an overturned chair...
Gu Qingwen glanced at Lu Qiyao, who was gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, and instructed his assistant: "Go ask Xiao Li if he has any burn ointment. If not, send him to the hospital."
The assistant responded and immediately lowered his head to make a phone call to find someone.
Lu Qiyao, his expression tense, said seriously, "Chairman Gu, I'm not that delicate..."
After saying that, he grabbed the door frame, trying to use it to stand up.
He staggered a few steps, his face turned pale instantly, and he fell to the other side.
An Ying, who was standing closest to him, immediately reached out and supported his arm.
Lu Qiyao managed to avoid falling.
The distance between the two suddenly closed.
A familiar, sweet scent wafted from her.
Lu Qiyao took a greedy drag.
An Ying remembers that when she was a child, she would cry from the pain of burning a finger with boiling water, let alone burning her entire back.
She hurriedly asked those around her, "Is there a first-aid kit? Let's apply some medicine first before going to the hospital!"
Without hesitation, she ripped open Lu Qiyao's shirt.
One of the first aid measures for burns is to remove the clothing covering the skin immediately to prevent it from sticking.
Lu Qiyao readily took off his white shirt, revealing his broad back.
An Ying looked down and saw that Lu Qiyao's burned area was bright red.
The injury was serious.
An Ying was a little worried: "Your injury is serious, you still need to go to the hospital. Just applying ointment won't be enough."
Lu Qiyao nodded.
Whatever she says goes.
So, will she go to the hospital with him...?
Just then, Li Xiuzhe's voice came from not far away.
"The medicine is here, the medicine is here! First, give him first aid, then call 120 immediately and get Mr. Lu to the hospital right away!"
Li Xiuzhe, along with his manager and assistants, came to clean up the mess.
Seeing An Ying standing with Lu Qiyao, who was shirtless, in a position that was almost half-hugging each other, Li Xiuzhe was stunned.
What's going on here?!
Li Xiuzhe shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.
An Ying took the first-aid kit from the employee and gave Lu Qiyao some basic first aid.
Li Xiuzhe suddenly realized that something was very wrong.
Half an hour ago, he secretly told Fu Chengli that Chairman Fu had arranged a private room, saying it was for business discussions, but the surveillance footage showed that the person who entered the private room was An Ying.
Fu Chengli simply said, "I know, I'll be right there," and then hung up the phone.
If Fu Chengli saw this scene, he would go completely mad.
Li Xiuzhe urged, "Have you called 120 yet? Why isn't the ambulance here? Hurry up and get Mr. Lu to the hospital!"
An Ying placed one hand on Lu Qiyao's strong shoulder and used the other hand to carefully treat his wounds.
A moment later, the siren of an ambulance sounded.
Lu Qiyao looked at An Ying pitifully: "Could you come with me to the hospital?"
An Ying was taken aback.
In a moment of hesitation, I caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of my eye.
She turned around and saw Fu Chengli standing not far away, his dark eyes fixed on her.
His expression was indifferent, and his deep-set eyes revealed a coldness.
He stood there tall and slender, hands in his pockets, looking rather lazy.
Even though he didn't move much, he exuded a sense of oppression.
Li Xiuzhe looked up at the sky and sighed deeply.
That's it, that's it. We'll just have to leave it to fate.
An Ying stopped what she was doing and moved her lips.
When did he come?
How long has he been here?
Was he there when she tore Lu Qiyao's clothes?
An Ying withdrew her gaze from Fu Chengli, then glanced at Lu Qiyao, who was shirtless, as if she wanted to explain something.
Why did she feel inexplicably guilty...?
But what can she explain?
With so many people watching, and she hadn't done anything she felt guilty about.
Fu Chengli looked away and, as if nothing had happened, silently walked into the tea room.
He looked around at the mess on the ground and asked Fu Haidong, "Dad, what happened?"
Fu Haidong clutched his heart and weakly pointed to the two women sitting at opposite ends of the room.
"Ask them."
Gao Lu and Yin Mei sat angrily in their respective chairs.
Their hair was disheveled, and their clothes were torn and tangled.
An Ying explained, "We had a little argument just now..."
Fu Chengli's gaze returned to An Ying.
He asked indifferently, "Are you injured?"
An Ying shook her head: "No, Lu Qiyao protected me from being hit by the kettle..."
Fu Chengli did not ask any further questions.
He couldn't care whether Lu Qiyao was injured or not.
His gaze finally settled on An Ying's hands.
She was still holding onto Lu Qiyao's arm.
An Ying half-embraced Lu Qiyao, and the two were very intimate.
Moreover, her fingers were completely bare.
She wasn't wearing a diamond ring.
Fu Chengli remained calm and said to Li Xiuzhe, "I'll leave the follow-up to you. Compensate as appropriate."
Li Xiuzhe nodded vigorously.
I'll handle it myself. Even though it's your Fu family members who are going crazy, as long as you don't continue to go crazy and make things worse!
Fu Chengli stared at An Ying.
An Ying also looked at him.
Eyes facing each other.
Fu Chengli gestured with his eyes, turned his head slightly towards An Ying, and signaled her to come out.
An Ying paused for a moment, about to leave with Fu Chengli, when her wrist was suddenly tightened.
Lu Qiyao grabbed An Ying's wrist and said urgently, "Don't go, come with me to the hospital, I'm in so much pain, Xiao Ying, I..."
Logically speaking, An Ying should have accompanied him.
If it weren't for protecting her, Lu Qiyao wouldn't have been so badly injured.
But, if it weren't for Lu Qiyao protecting her today...
If it were anyone else, An Ying would definitely accompany them to the hospital, find out the extent of the injury, and pay all the medical expenses.
However, the past grievances between her and Lu Qiyao were too complicated.
Now everyone knows that she and Fu Chengli are together.
If, at this time, it were revealed that she was still entangled with her ex, how would Fu Chengli feel?
What will others think?
An Ying secretly glanced at Fu Chengli.
Why is he so calm?
What exactly is he trying to do...?
She couldn't figure him out anymore.
What An Ying didn't expect was that Fu Chengli's "calmness" was just the prelude to a storm.
