Jian Yufei was in a daze for a few seconds, then suddenly pushed him away, gripping his collar tightly.

"What about my dad? Is he alright?!"

Ruan Tianling’s gaze was somber: "Your father is fine, really."

"But..." Jian Yufei suddenly realized.

The injured person was not her father, but Nangong Yi.

Nangong Yi rushed to save her and, unfortunately, took a bullet for Xiao Zexin.

The person shot was Nangong Yi...

Jian Yufei exhaled a breath: "Where is Nangong Yi? How is he now?"

If Nangong Yi died, she would feel guilty for a lifetime.

No matter what, he took a bullet for her father.

"Nangong Yi is also fine, the bullet has been removed, he is still unconscious."

"Really?"

Ruan Tianling’s eyes darkened: "You don’t believe me?"

"I believe you. I want to go see him."

Jian Yufei got out of bed and walked toward the door, Ruan Tianling grabbed her wrist.

"You’ve just woken up, your body hasn’t recovered, go see him later."

"No, I’m going now."

"Then eat something first, okay?" Ruan Tianling spoke softly, his tone carrying a hint of pleading.

Jian Yufei looked at him for two seconds, shook her head: "I’d better go now, otherwise I won’t be at ease."

Ruan Tianling clenched the hand at his side.

"Let’s go, I’ll go with you."

Jian Yufei did not refuse, Ruan Tianling supported her as they walked to Nangong Yi’s room.

...

Nangong Yi lay on the soft large bed, bare-chested.

His shoulders and chest were wrapped in bandages, and his face was covered with an oxygen mask.

Seeing he was still alive, Jian Yufei sighed in relief.

"Where did the bullet hit?" she asked.

"Left rear shoulder."

"When will he wake up?"

"The doctor said he might wake up tomorrow."

Jian Yufei nodded: "I also want to see my dad."

Ruan Tianling didn’t object: "Let’s go."

Xiao Zexin had taken medicine and was already asleep.

Asleep, his face looked handsome and peaceful, completely different from the vicious look he had when he tried to kill her.

Jian Yufei never expected that her father had lost his mind to this extent.

Even wanting to kill her...

Yet despite everything, she still didn’t hate him.

In her heart, he was still her most beloved father.

Besides, at the last moment, didn’t her father let her go?

It’s just that everything that happened today was bound to make her sad.

Ruan Tianling held her shoulder, "Let’s go, let’s have something to eat and let your father rest well."

Jian Yufei nodded.

Ruan Tianling specifically instructed the kitchen to make porridge and also prepared a few of Jian Yufei’s favorite small dishes.

However, Jian Yufei just couldn’t eat...

She held the spoon, stared at it for a long time without taking a bite.

"I’ll feed you." Ruan Tianling took her bowl and fed her thoughtfully and carefully.

Jian Yufei ate two bites, then shook her head: "No more, I can’t eat!"

"Alright, no more."

"I want to go out and get some fresh air."

"I’ll go with you."

"No, I want to be alone."

Jian Yufei stood up and walked outside.

Ruan Tianling watched her back, feeling very uncomfortable inside.

He let her be alone but followed her at a leisurely pace.

Jian Yufei didn’t dare to go to the garden; she walked out the main door, onto the broad road outside.

She walked aimlessly for a while and then sat down beside a flower bed.

With her hands covering her face, her mind kept replaying everything that happened in the garden.

Her father raising a cobblestone high...

The gunshot, the blood beneath Nangong Yi...

It all happened in the blink of an eye.
