As the door was pushed open, Bai Qihan was pushed into the room by his butler.

He had gone for his morning exercise and had just returned when he heard that the madam’s best friend had come to see her. He was about to go to the study when he heard her cry for help.

The room was currently a mess, and Luo Yun lay on the bed, weak and pitiful. “Hubby, she’s so noisy… Help me chase her away.”

Bai Qihan gestured to his butler using his eyes.

The butler immediately walked in front of Shi Chunfang while maintaining his dignified manner and said, “Please take your leave.”

“Don’t chase me away! I’m not leaving! Luo Yun, are you being controlled?” Shi Chunfang started to go crazy again. “Lu Bei loves you so much. How can you leave him in the lurch? Do you not love him anymore? Who is threatening you? Luo Yun, you have to think for yourself! Why are you so stupid…”

Luo Yun waved her hand. Please, I’m begging you. Get lost. You’re so damn noisy. If you don’t leave now, I might actually end up losing my image as a proper lady and curse at you in front of Bai Qihan!

The butler had already given Shi Chunfang a chance, but she did not take it. As such, the butler, without any hesitation, grabbed Shi Chunfang by her collar and dragged her away.

The bedroom immediately fell silent.

Luo Yun touched her wound and saw blood on her hand after taking it back. She looked at Bai Qihan pitifully. “My wound has opened. I’m not going to die, am I?”

An ice-cold expression remained on Bai Qihan’s face. After glancing at the blood on her hand, he said flatly, “I’ll tell the doctor to come over.” He was already giving her face by not saying that she deserved it.

After saying that, he prepared to leave, but she stopped him. “Don’t go.”

Luo Yun was truly in pain, and her eyes even began to mist up. She explained, “She barged in a while ago and asked me to save Lu Bei. After I rejected her, she violently and crazily shook my shoulder. That’s why my wound opened up. It really hurts.”

Her eyes were red, and she looked pitiful. In the past, she would act extremely, and her words were as sharp as a dagger. She had always been a despicable woman. This was the first time that Bai Qihan had ever seen such a wronged and pitiful expression coming from her; it was the first time he had ever seen her like this. He was stunned momentarily but he said calmly, “Hold on, I’ll get the doctor to quickly come over.”

Luo Yun reached out to him, and he was puzzled.

Luo Yun sighed in her heart. She endured the pain and grabbed his hand that was on his knee. Her five fingers interlocked with his fingers, and then she said, “This way, I won’t be in so much pain.”

Bai Qihan’s pupils shrank. He instinctively pulled his hand back, but she used more force. Their eyes met. Her eyes were clear and teary, and there was a hint of pleading in them. He did not know why, but his stiff fingers slowly loosened. Her hand was small and soft, and when they interlocked their fingers, he could clearly feel the warmth spreading to his palm.

“She’s not allowed to come to our house anymore, okay?” Luo Yun looked at him with sparkling eyes.

“She’s your friend, so it’s your decision to make.” Bai Qihan’s voice was still cold.

He was as cold as a block of ice. He seemed to be easy-going and polite, but in fact, he was a rather cold and distant person. He always distanced himself from others and closed himself off, not allowing anyone to come in.

His parents had passed away when he was young, and he was crippled in both legs. He did not have much sincere company as he grew up, especially since he belonged to a large family like the Bai family. All in all, the love he received was quite minimal. But even so, he also became an existence that people feared.

The original novel’s plot officially began two years later, and by then, the original Luo Yun had already died. Bai Qihan had also become an overlord of the business world. He was a man of his word, and he could control the rise and fall of the entire Bai family just by sitting in a wheelchair. If not for his disability, Luo Yun believed that Bai Qihan’s achievements would have even been far greater.

Luo Yun stared at his legs. His legs, wrapped in black casual pants, looked no different from a normal person’s, but he could never stand up.

If I could help him recover…

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Luo Yun almost lost control of her emotions. However, she soon felt a little discouraged. Bai Qihan’s injuries were too severe, and it had been too long. She was not confident that she could achieve such a feat by herself. However, if her Master Li Shi were here, she might just be able to do it.

Bai Qihan could clearly feel her gaze on his legs. However, this time, he discovered that her eyes were not filled with undisguised disgust like they usually would. She did not even point at him and call him a good-for-nothing like she usually did. Instead, her eyes were showing traces of regret and pity. He was surprised and confused as to why Luo Yun would have such emotions in her gaze as she looked at him.

At this moment, the doctor arrived and helped Luo Yun treat her wound.

Her stomach grumbled a few times as well. She said embarrassedly, “I’m hungry.” After the ruckus that Shi Chunfang had caused in the morning, she was already famished.

Bai Qihan ordered the servants to prepare breakfast for her, requesting for some simple and light food.

When the servant came in with breakfast and saw the madam and sir with their fingers intertwined, she almost dropped the platter…
