Chapter 29: Chapter 27: Qiao Jing Delivers a Verbal Knockout With No Regrets

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Bang—” Zhan Qipei landed on his butt first, nearly shattering.

“Ummh—” Zhan Qipei propped himself up from the ground, clutching his waist, “You woman, truly bite the hand that feeds you!”

“I bite the hand that feeds me? Clearly, the one doing that is you,” Qiao Jing retorted.

“Me?” Zhan Qipei pointed at himself, “I bite the hand that feeds you? Yesterday when you had a fever, I was the one who fed you medicine, I took care of you.”

Regarding what happened last night, Qiao Jing’s memory was a bit fuzzy. After hearing what the man said, she raised her hand to touch her neck and felt the sweat that hadn’t dried. Her gaze then shifted, falling on the medicine bottle and teacup on the bedside table.

It seemed he indeed hadn’t lied.

“You took care of me, and I thank you for that. But I don’t understand, why did you end up in my bed?”

Zhan Qipei continued to rub his sore waist, looking at Qiao Jing in annoyance, “You were the one, using me as an ice pack, who dragged me onto the bed.”

Qiao Jing observed Zhan Qipei’s expression, which didn’t seem like he was lying, “You could have resisted.”

Zhan Qipei’s expression faltered slightly, yes, he could have resisted, it’s just…

“I had an injury on my leg, I couldn’t resist,” Zhan Qipei said, feeling a bit guilty, but his face was calm, betraying no emotion.

As for the truth… he would never admit it.

Qiao Jing’s gaze moved down to Zhan Qipei’s leg.

She had performed his surgery, so she understood his condition best. It had been over ten days, but he hadn’t fully recovered.

Moreover, with her strength, being in an unconscious state would make her even stronger; it was reasonable that Zhan Qipei couldn’t break free.

“I’m sorry.”

An apology was due, the most basic courtesy one should have.

Qiao Jing’s sudden apology left Zhan Qipei at a loss for words.

If Qiao Jing had continued to argue with him, he might have lost his temper. But now that Qiao Jing had stepped back, it didn’t seem right for him to be too forceful.

Just as Zhan Qipei was thinking this, his phone chimed with a new message alert.

Upon opening it and seeing the one million Qiao Jing had transferred to him, his lips twitched involuntarily.

“What do you mean by this?”
