Reborn as a concubine's daughter and entering a noble family: Xie Lang, don't be too seduc

After confirming that no one else was in the room, Hawthorne breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little guilty.

"It's nothing, it's just that I feel our relationship now..." She hesitated slightly, as if considering her next words, and after a long while, as if she had made up her mind, "About last night..."

Upon hearing the words "what happened last night" from Huo Sanghua's mouth, Xie Lin's anger subsided considerably, and he lost his aggressive desire to get to the bottom of things.

He said, "That...that is......"

Huo Sanghua felt a chill in his heart, but then, remembering Xie Shu's words, a sudden surge of courage welled up inside him.

She stopped and looked up at Xie Lin. "I'm not a casual person. However, if last night's events have caused you trouble, then I can pretend nothing happened. You don't need to be so careful to avoid me. I was just momentarily confused. I won't hold you responsible for anything. You can just act as before, and we can stick to our agreement... A year from now, I will leave this place and will definitely not cause you any trouble."

leave?!

These two words, like a heavy stone, hung in Xie Lin's heart as soon as they came out of Huo Sanghua's mouth.

His feelings for her were no longer what they were when they first met. Now, hearing that she was leaving again, he felt a surge of displeasure, a feeling he couldn't quite describe. "You...you're still leaving?"

They asked the question so cautiously.

He had no idea what kind of answer he wanted.

He both hoped that Hawthorne could fulfill her wish and safely leave Shengjing, a place fraught with turmoil and danger, far from power struggles, to live a peaceful and tranquil life. Yet... he didn't want her to leave...

His desire to keep her from leaving grew stronger, making it impossible for him to suppress his feelings.

"There is no place for me here, nor... nor... anyone who truly hopes she can stay."

Hawthorne was inexplicably depressed.

What was she expecting? Was she hoping Xie Lin would try to keep her? Or was she hoping Xie Lin...?

"...Fine." After a long pause, Xie Lin uttered two words.

Yeah.

So it is... ...good after all?

He couldn't bear to see Hawthorne in a difficult situation, and at that moment he considered all the possibilities. But what he was about to do was destined to be irreversible. If he kept Hawthorne around out of selfishness, it would only drag her into danger.

After much hesitation, I finally uttered those two words: "Fine."

Anyway, this is the result she wanted.

Hawthorne was about to leave when she suddenly heard Xie Lin beside her let out a painful groan...

Knowing that Xie Lin was probably faking it, she could have easily run away, but she couldn't help but stop.

Xie Lin pressed his injured area and slowly bent down.

"What's wrong with you?" Huo Sanghua blurted out, already reaching out to support the person who was about to fall.

"It's nothing." Xie Lin's voice sounded very weak, as if he was forcing himself to stay strong, as if to reassure her. "If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. It seems the wound has reopened... It's nothing serious. I'll change the dressing myself in a bit."

The wound has reopened?

Hawthorne retorted angrily, "How are you going to change the dressing yourself?"

It's not like I haven't seen his injuries before...

That serious... ...and last night, could it be... ...could it have been around that time? ... ...

Huo Sanghua sighed inwardly, unsure whether Xie Lin's wound reopening was related to their momentary infatuation the previous night. But as she briefly recalled the incident, a blush appeared on her face.

She felt her face burning and her heart pounding so loudly that she was afraid Xie Lin would notice. She quickly lowered her head, avoiding his eyes.

Xie Lin noticed that she was acting strangely and suspected that she might have already noticed something. He thought to himself that something was wrong. Sure enough, if you use the same trick twice, you will reveal a flaw.

Before Hawthorne could notice, he subtly shifted his shoulder, exerting only a slight force...

He immediately frowned. "Hmm—"

Hearing him groan in pain, Hawthorne finally looked up, and could see with the naked eye that a bright red stain had spread across his thin undergarment...

Only then did they realize that Xie Lin's wound had indeed reopened.

"What...what should we do?" In her panic, she steeled herself and pressed down on Xie Lin's wound with one hand to prevent the bleeding from increasing and ultimately causing Xie Lin to die from blood loss. She then shouted towards the door, "Who's out there? Is anyone out there?!"

Wu Tong had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and when she heard Huo Sanghua calling, she hurriedly went inside.

And so we saw the Second Young Master, utterly weak, collapse into Hawthorne's arms...

"Go find a doctor quickly! ... Go and invite the eldest young master's friend, quick, tell him that the second young master's wound has reopened!" Huo Sanghua urged.

Xie Lin had already pressed down on her shoulder. With his large size, half of his body was on her shoulders, and Huo Sanghua couldn't move, for fear of aggravating Xie Lin's wound.

"Yes!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Wutong hurriedly went out to seek help.

Xie Lin seemed to have lost consciousness. Huo Sanghua struggled to support half of his weight on her shoulders, carefully and laboriously moving him into the inner room. "...Don't faint yet! If you faint now, I won't be able to move you—"

He was perfectly fine when they were talking, but she accused him of hiding someone in the house, and he even pulled her around the room with all his might to look her over carefully.

They were incredibly energetic.

Hawthorne couldn't understand how the man had collapsed in such a short time!

But she couldn't wake Xie Lin no matter what she did, so she could only muster all her strength and slowly move him into the inner room. "......So big, how can he be so......No, so heavy......You won't be able to hold on for long......If you want to faint, come back beforehand, it's fine if you faint by the bedside..."

As a result, it took her so much effort; she had to grit her teeth to barely drag it...

What kind of mess is this?

Little did they know that the person being dragged away had a slight smile on his lips and continued to play dead.

Until she finally settled Xie Lin on the bed, laboriously lifting his legs onto the bed and pulling the blanket over him, in that moment of utter exhaustion, it felt as if all her strength had been drained away...

It's really heavy.

Hawthorne sat on the edge of the bed, panting heavily; he was utterly exhausted.

He glanced at the unconscious Xie Lin.

Hawthorne was too exhausted to utter a single complaint; beads of sweat streamed down his forehead, and he was utterly drained.

Just then, Xie Shu, having heard that Xie Lin's wound had reopened, rushed over. He entered and headed straight for the inner room, but just as he was about to step behind the screen, he suddenly stopped...

"Sang Hua," he called tentatively.

"Young Master?" Huo Sanghua perked up, stood up, and quickly straightened his clothes. "Young Master, you may come in."

Upon hearing this, Xie Shu flicked his sleeves, revealing his wrists, before confidently stepping into the inner room. "I heard from Wu Tong that A-Lin's wound has reopened? How is she now? I've already sent someone to fetch Lu Ming, so don't worry."
