She's a shrewd and sweet woman who transmigrated into a book.

Chapter 44 It was his fault for not taking good care of her.
Bai Yiyao's hand paused imperceptibly, and she looked up at Leng Yunting.

His furrowed brows and the undisguised heartache in his eyes stung her even more.

She took a deep breath, trying her best to maintain her professionalism and composure.

"I'll be careful, Brother Ting."

Bai Yiyao stopped looking at Leng Yunting and turned to Liu Jingyi, her voice deliberately soft.
"Sister-in-law, you have to bear with it. Your wound needs to be cleaned with alcohol, otherwise it will get infected."

Liu Jingyi lowered her head, biting her lip tightly, and didn't say a word. She just slowly moved her face closer to Leng Yunting.

"It's okay, I'm here."

Leng Yunting held Liu Jingyi tightly with his uninjured hand to reassure her.

The alcohol swab touched the wound on Liu Jingyi's palm, and the stinging pain made her gasp and instinctively pull her hand back.

"Hey...it hurts!"

Tears welled up instantly again.

"lighter."

Leng Yunting's voice rose considerably, carrying an unquestionable command.

His sharp gaze shot towards Bai Yiyao beside him.
"She's crying out in pain!"

Bai Yiyao's hand trembled violently; this time, she had truly lost her composure.

The cotton swab in his hand was pressed heavily against the injured spot on Liu Jingyi's palm.

"what……"

Liu Jingyi cried out in pain, almost standing up, tears streaming down her face.

This sudden, intense pain completely shattered his defenses in front of Bai Yiyao.

All her grievances, her fear of the female lead, and her physical pain erupted at this moment.

"What are you doing?"

Liu Jingyi abruptly withdrew her hand, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Bai Yiyao in front of her.

"me……"

"Dr. Bai, we don't need you here anymore!"

Leng Yunting's gaze instantly turned icy, piercing straight at Bai Yiyao.

Bai Yiyao's face was deathly pale, and the tweezers and cotton swabs in her hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

Leng Yunting's cold, disappointed gaze made Liu Jingyi feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave, even more so than Liu Jingyi's questioning.

She wanted to explain, but at that moment, she couldn't utter a single word.

Bai Yiyao didn't know how she walked out of the consultation room.

"Sit still, I'll take care of it for you."

Leng Yunting looked at Liu Jingyi, whose face was streaked with tears, and coaxed her in a tone that sounded like he was talking to a child.

"Ah."

Liu Jingyi nodded gently.

She's not a child anymore. It's so hot today. If it gets inflamed, it'll really be a problem.

Liu Jingyi didn't mean to embarrass Bai Yiyao; it was just that the pain made Bai Yiyao scream instinctively.

Leng Yunting carefully treated Liu Jingyi's wounds, blowing on them from time to time.

After treating the wound, I went to get some ointment to reduce swelling and bruising.

He then squatted down in front of Liu Jingyi and said, "Get on, I'll carry you down."

Liu Jingyi had regained her composure by now.

"It's okay, I can get down by myself."

Leng Yunting insisted, and Liu Jingyi couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she had no choice but to climb onto his broad back.

Despite his injured arm, Leng Yunting still carried her steadily on his back.

After Liu Jingyi and her companion left, they had no idea that the military hospital was in an uproar.

Isn't this handsome officer Dr. Bai's childhood sweetheart?

Dr. Bai worked so hard to get into the hospital because of him, didn't she?
How did they get married?
Judging from how nervous this little girl looks, she must be absolutely smitten!
What about Dr. Bai?
If Dr. Bai insists on getting involved, wouldn't that be considered disrupting a military marriage?
"Cough cough cough, what are you all doing?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" "These are just your guesses; Dr. Bai has never said anything like that."

……

Xiao Zheng was already waiting downstairs at the hospital. After getting into the car, Leng Yunting kept holding her hand.

Leng Yunting wanted to say something, but Liu Jingyi was clearly pretending to be very tired, and closed her eyes as soon as she got into the car.

Upon arriving at the compound, Liu Jingyi was still carried out of the car by Leng Yunting.

Ms. Qin Yan saw that her son had carried her daughter-in-law back, and assumed that the two had a good relationship.

As the two got closer, they discovered that both of them were injured.

Ms. Qin Yan was startled. She had only asked her daughter-in-law to pick someone up, so how could she have gotten injured!
"What happened? How did you two get hurt?"

"Yiyi came to find you, why didn't you keep a close eye on her!"

"You can't even take good care of your own wife, tell me, what did Yiyi marry you for?"

"Yes, it's all my fault."

Ms. Qin Yan's words deeply moved Liu Jingyi, as if she were her own daughter.

"Mom, it was me. I was careless."

Liu Jingyi said softly.

"Yiyi, you can't spoil a man. As your support, if he doesn't take good care of you, it's his fault!"

Liu Jingyi silently shrank back and didn't say anything more.

But I was still quite touched.

"Have you seen a doctor? You're covered in injuries. How serious are they? Are any bones broken?"

Leng Yunting didn't argue back, because in his view, it really was his problem.

"No, I'll take Yiyi upstairs first."

After going upstairs, Leng Yunting put the person on the bed.

He took out the medicated oil and massaged Liu Jingyi's swollen ankle.

Leng Yunting's rough fingers landed lightly on her skin, not daring to use too much force.

Liu Jingyi flinched slightly, feeling a little shy at the touch.

She looked at the man squatting in front of her with embarrassment; the man's expression was very serious.

Looking at the man in front of her, Liu Jingyi felt that she couldn't quite figure him out.

Does that mean he likes her?

It doesn't seem to have reached that level yet!

Does that mean he doesn't like her?
But he also worries about her, cares about her, and feels sorry for her!

Leng Yunting applied the medicated oil to Liu Jingyi and then carefully checked her over, only breathing a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing else wrong.

"Yiyi, I'm sorry."

Leng Yunting looked into her eyes and said seriously.

Liu Jingyi felt embarrassed by his stare and turned her head away, no longer looking at him.

Leng Yunting held the person in his arms tightly and whispered,
"Yiyi, if you feel uncomfortable, hit me a few times."

"Don't keep it to yourself, okay?"

Liu Jingyi had no idea that the man in front of her knew everything.

She's petty, holds grudges, is delicate, can't stand being wronged, and will silently hold grudges against people in her heart.

After each argument with Leng Yunting, she seemed to have stopped caring on the surface.

But only she knew that wasn't the case.

She still had a grudge in her heart.

She actually felt conflicted herself.

When she first transmigrated, all she really wanted to do was try to cling to powerful figures; she didn't want to die!
She felt that as a modern person, she had nothing to lose.

She didn't think she would be obsessed with one man.
