“Painful…”

Weiai felt pain surging through her body when she woke up.

The blue wallpaper of the ceiling entered her eyes. It was as if she was in a sea of blue. Her surroundings looked elegant, it was obvious that the owner of the room was someone with a good temperament.

As she thought about this, Weiai wanted to raise her hands but realized she was put on a drip.

At the next moment, a clean looking hand brought a cup of water with a straw to her. “Little girl, drink some water. Your body is not conditioned to take in food yet, so you can only have some liquid for the time being.”

Weiai did not blink and stared at the smiling Ning Yuan, who was standing next to her bed.

She did not reject him. She opened her mouth and drank some water from the straw.

She stopped drinking when she felt like it was enough and she could not help but beg. “Ning Yuan… I beg you… bring me out of this place…”

When she spoke, she realized that her voice was hoarse as if she had been really sick.

Ning Yuan stopped what he was doing and looked as the girl stared at him with tears in her eyes as if she would cry if he rejected her.

His heart softened. Under Weiai’s anxiousness, he smiled. “Okay, I will bring you out of this place.”

“Really?”

Weiai became excited and she could not care less. She tried to get up from the bed, but very soon, her brows went into a frown and she breathed. “So painful.”

Seeing this, Ning Yuan put down the teacup and tucked her back into bed. “Don’t move around carelessly, your injuries are inflamed.”

Weiai could not be bothered by what he said. Her beautiful eyes lit up. “What you said… is it real?”

It was clear that she did not want to remain in this place anymore.

Ning Yuan guessed that the events had left a scar on her and nodded in agreement. “Yes, it’s real. So you need to be obedient and rest well.”

After receiving his assurance, Weiai felt like her pain had been reduced and she did not dislike Ning Yuan as much as she did prior to this. He had always been warm and gentle, just like the teen in her memories who she had a crush on. In addition to that, he was also the one that saved her.

Hence, for the time being, she could turn a blind eye to him doing a background check on her previously.

However, even after receiving his assurance, Weiai thought of something else and she felt a little uneasy. “But Shen Shaobai, he would never allow this! He is so mean and his cousin is also equally mean…”

The thought of the Second Young Mistress reminded her of the two bodyguards and she turned pale immediately.

How could Ning Yuan not guess what she was thinking about from her reaction?

He kept quiet for a moment and then explained, “Little girl, Shaobai is not a bad person. He is not what you think he is! He is just too lonely and this caused him to appear indifferent. Also, sometimes he is bad at expressing himself.”

Hearing this, Weiai pouted in disagreement.

In her heart, she had already thought of him as a devil.

“He has already dealt with the two bodyguards that hurt you. They will spend the rest of their lives in prison. As for the Second Young Mistress, he had also ordered for her to be beaten with thirty strokes of the cane. Her situation is worse than yours right now! Also, right before this, he came to visit you.”

Weiai could not believe what he said.

He punished the bodyguards and Su Meiya for her?

However, it only remained in her thoughts. Her lips were still in a pout. “How hypocritical.”

Stop hating him on the basis of all these? If he did not force her to stay, she would not be subjected to such experiences!

At the end of the day, he was still the main culprit.

Even though he agreed to bring Weiai out of this place, Ning Yuan was reminded of Shaobai’s temper and he reminded her. “Shaobai is a proud person and he does not accept any form of rejection! Why don’t you try to get along with him when interacting with him, he is not that hard of a person to get along with.”

Ning Yuan suddenly turned around, bent down and spoke softly into Weiai’s ears.

Those years, the images of Shaobai doting on Tong Hua.

In his memories, he hated it when Tong Hua cried. Every time Tong Hua cried, no matter how merciless of a person he was, he would give in to her.

Although Weiai was not Tong Hua, they resembled each other and there was a likely chance that they were related by blood.

Shaobai wanted to keep Weiai by his side and this meant that Weiai was, at the very least, different from other girls. Tong Hua’s tactics might be useful for dealing with Shaobai’s temperament and the idea might work.

Weiai listened to him and her eyes widened as she was surprised.

He said, Shen Shaobai… hated it when girls cry?
