Lu Nanze looked at her and frowned. He said, “Get me some water.”

It was only then that Qiao Yiyi sat up and realized his situation.

He seemed to be in great pain and his forehead was damp with perspiration.

Her gaze fell on his leg and she understood at once what was happening.

She sighed and stood up to pour him a glass of water. Then she sat by his bed. “Is it hurting badly?”

She lifted the blanket to examine his wound.

However, the man clutched his leg and immediately said, “No, it’s not.”

.

He drank the water and returned the glass to Qiao Yiyi, lying back down immediately afterwards.

Anesthesia couldn’t be administered too frequently, this was common knowledge.

Hence for now, he could only endure the throbbing pain and wait for it to subside.

Seeing how much pain Lu Nanze was in, Qiao Yiyi frowned.

In fact, there was a type of acupressure massage that could relieve pain, and it was also a skill that had been passed down through generations in her family. If she could massage him, the pain could be significantly reduced.

Hence, Qiao Yiyi looked at him and suggested, “Mr. Lu, please let me have a look at your wound.”

Lu Nanze gripped the blanket tightly and insisted frostily, “There’s no need.”

Qiao Yiyi choked. “I’ll just take a quick look, I’ll help you massage it.”

The pain made Lu Nanze more agitated, and adding to this there was the dream he had just had, and how things had turned out with Traceless. He became rather angry and snapped, “There’s no need!”

He sat up and stared at Qiao Yiyi. “Since I can’t sleep, there’s a matter that I’d like to discuss with you.”

Taken aback, Qiao Yiyi asked, “What is it?”

“Let’s get a divorce.”

Qiao Lian widened her eyes in astonishment.

Although she had married him to escape Liang Liang, he was the one who had confessed his feelings to Traceless.

Even though she knew he was seeking a divorce to placate Traceless, this made her feel extremely uneasy.

What did he take her for?

Was she at his beck and call?

A pet?

Besides, before her mother could locate her, she had to stay in this marriage and temporarily ensure her safety.

On top of this, Qiao Yiyi felt rather indignant. She thought angrily, “You wish for a divorce? I’m not going to agree then.”

Hence she put on a tearful expression and said to the man, “Mr- Mr. Lu, have I not been up to your standards? Or have I not met your expectations in some ways? I- I-“

She lowered her head.

Lu Nanze smiled icily and replied, “There’s someone else that I like.”

Having said that and finding her sobbing somewhat unbearable, he quickly lay back down in bed and concluded, “So it’s useless, no matter how well you treat me.”

Qiao Yiyi: …

Someone else he liked.

Was it Traceless?

Caught in this situation, Qiao Yiyi wasn’t quite sure if it was something to celebrate or mourn over.

She grimaced, but immediately lowered her head and acknowledged his words with an “oh.”

Then she looked up and said, “Mr. Lu, I will not agree to a divorce. I will work hard to make you like me!”

She said this rather petulantly, then returned to her bed and got back under the covers.

Lu Nanze, on the other hand, was slightly alarmed to hear this.

He shut his eyes as he lay in bed, feeling the agony the wound was causing him.

After some time, he suddenly heard Qiao Yiyi sit up.
