The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 858 - 873: I Don’t Mind You Being a Third Wheel at All

"I’m sorry, I didn’t know my mom would do such a thing to you. Where are you? I want to see you."

Qi Shangyu was especially worried that Zhong Li might be hurt, and he wanted to explain everything to her face-to-face.

"No need, seeing you now just makes me feel annoyed." With that, Zhong Li hung up the phone before giving him a chance to speak again.

Qi Shangyu irritably tossed his phone onto the desk and raised his hands to pull open a few buttons on his shirt collar.

People in the company watched Li Jiaxue being taken away in handcuffs by the police, all speculating about what had happened.

......

At dinner, Zhong Li only drank some soup and had no appetite. Tonight, Han Xi was on night duty and could stay here to accompany her.

Zhong Li took a warm towel from the bathroom and sat down next to Gu Nanxi, just about to clean his hands when she noticed his fingers moved, and his eyes slowly opened.

"Nancy, you’re awake."

Zhong Li’s tears suddenly flowed, and the heart that had been hanging on her was finally able to rest.

Gu Nanxi raised his hand to wipe away the tears at the corner of Zhong Li’s eyes, speaking weakly, "Silly girl, now that I’m awake, why are you still crying?"

Zhong Li leaned on him, her tears soaking his clothes, "I’m just happy, these are tears of joy."

"Sis, I’ll check on brother-in-law first." Han Xi stood up from the sofa and said.

"Okay." Zhong Li straightened her body, raising her hand to wipe the tears from her face.

Gu Nanxi looked at Zhong Li with a frown, "How did you get hurt?"

This morning, after Yu Lu pounced on Zhong Li, they rolled quite a distance, and many parts of her body got scratched.

Zhong Li glanced at the wounds on her arms, "It’s nothing, just some surface injuries, not painful at all."

"Why were you hurt?"

Initially, Zhong Li didn’t want to tell Gu Nanxi about being hit, because he had just woken up. But she felt if she made up a random story, he wouldn’t believe it, so after hesitating for a few seconds, she decided to tell him.

"At the same time you were kidnapped, Li Jiaxue drove to our community. If it weren’t for mom saving me, I could have been hit by her. But luckily, both mom and I are okay."

Gu Nanxi’s dark eyes tightened, emitting a cold aura.

"Thank goodness Jing Han found you today, otherwise I wouldn’t even know what to do."

Gu Nanxi raised his hand to stroke Zhong Li’s hair, "Don’t worry, I’ll make sure Li Jiaxue suffers."

"Li Jiaxue has already been arrested and taken to the police station. Attempted murder charges should be enough to keep her in prison for the rest of her life."

Han Xi walked over with a smile, "I’ll finish checking on brother-in-law, then I won’t be a third wheel for you two anymore."

"I don’t mind you being a third wheel at all."

Zhong Li joked as she got up to the side, letting Han Xi check on Gu Nanxi.

Han Xi seriously completed the examination and only left after ensuring everything was fine.

"Are you hungry? Han Xi just asked Sister Zhang to make dinner and bring it over. The soup is still hot, I’ll get you some."

With that, Zhong Li opened the thermos on the table, scooped a bowl of soup, and sat down next to the hospital bed, bringing a spoonful to Gu Nanxi’s mouth. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Gu Nanxi drank the spoonful of soup and propped himself up with his hands to sit upright, "I can manage myself. You’re still hurt."

"They are just surface wounds, it’s nothing. You just sit back; I’ll feed you."

Today there’s a chance Zhong Li could have lost him, so in the future, she wants to be better to this man, even more... ...
