Chapter 8: Chapter 7 It was indeed you who saved me!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qiao Jing leaned back lazily in her seat, her elbow resting on the door, supporting her chin to the side. When she heard Zhan Qipei ask like that, her indifferent gaze casually swept over his thigh.
“I can tell.”
“You can tell?” Zhan Qipei’s eyes narrowed, “You know medicine?”
“Yes,” Qiao Jing replied unabashedly.
Zhan Qipei’s gaze was intense as he scrutinized Qiao Jing, looking her over from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top.
Is it her?
Or is it just a coincidence?
If it is her, why didn’t she mention that day’s incident at all?
Qiao Jing noticed the man’s probing gaze on her and guessed what he was suspecting.
“Is there something written on me?”
Zhan Qipei looked at Qiao Jing in front of him, trying to recall the blurry figure in his memory, and they somewhat overlapped, which made his heart inexplicably excited.
“I remember you grew up in a rural village?”
That day, he had also been in the countryside, and it was in a cornfield where he had met her.
“Who doesn’t know that the richest man in the capital married a country girl? Don’t tell me you, being the person concerned, wouldn’t know.” Qiao Jing said, subtly raising her light, smoke-blue eyebrows.
The way Qiao Jing spoke, had it been another time, Zhan Qipei might have been upset. But now, the more he heard, the more pleasant it sounded because he might be about to uncover the truth.
“Which village do you live in?” Zhan Qipei suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued asking, his eyes intensely fixed on Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing’s pupils constricted slightly, and she responded calmly, “Checking household registrations, are you?”
Zhan Qipei took a deep breath, and before he could fully calm down, Qiao Jing spoke again.
“Autumn Water Village.”
As soon as Qiao Jing finished speaking, she saw Zhan Qipei’s pupils dilate and tremble. Before she could react, the next second, her wrist was suddenly grasped by the man.
“It really is you!”
The assistant, Tang Yan, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror after hearing the commotion behind him, and he was shockingly stunned!
Having been with the boss for so long, this was the first time he saw his boss initiate physical contact with the opposite sex, and it was such a tight grip!
What exactly is going on?
Wait a minute! Tang Yan suddenly recalled the keywords in the conversation between the two.
Autumn Water Village… Could it be that the boss suspects that this country lady is the girl who saved him that day?
“What did you say? ‘It really is you’? I don’t understand,” Qiao Jing feigned ignorance while tugging at her hand, which, after exerting some force, she found she couldn’t break free.
Instead, the man held her hand tighter, as if afraid she would run away.
“You won’t admit it?” Zhan Qipei had determined that Qiao Jing was the person who had operated on him that day.
“What exactly are you talking about?” Qiao Jing planned to continue playing dumb.
“What? You’ve forgotten? Okay, then let me outline it for you again. Four days ago, I was ambushed, stumbled into a cornfield; it was you who dealt with those two gun-wielding masked assassins. Later, you took me to your home, acted on me—performed surgery, and removed the bullet, saving my life. It’s only been four days, don’t tell me you’ve already forgotten? Could it be that you have indeed forgotten, or do you not want to admit it?” Zhan Qipei said steadily as he looked at Qiao Jing.
At that moment, Zhan Qipei was in an extremely good mood. He hadn’t expected such fortune from the heavens, not only to meet his soul mate but also to have a matrimonial connection with her.
Not only that, but now the other party had also become his legally wedded wife. How could he not be thrilled?
As Zhan Qipei thought this, Qiao Jing slightly parted her red lips and spoke unhurriedly, “I understand now; you’ve mistaken me for someone else.”
Upon hearing this, Zhan Qipei gradually furrowed his brow like mountains shrouded in mist, “You’re saying you’re not her? I don’t believe it, could it really be such a coincidence?”
“You just said that girl easily took care of the gunmen. Someone so capable, you think it would be me? You could just send someone to inquire, and they’d know that I was born with an incurable disease, abandoned by my family in a snowdrift. Although my grandfather saved me later, I have always been weak and sick. Do you really think I’d have the capability to take down gunmen?” Qiao Jing said composedly.
Gradually, Zhan Qipei’s expression began to change, and he started to struggle internally. On one hand, he felt it couldn’t be just a coincidence that Qiao Jing was the person he had been looking for these past days, on the other hand, what she said was entirely verifiable, so there was no need for her to lie.
Qiao Jing hadn’t finished speaking, “Also, I do know some medical skills because I have been sickly since childhood, which led my grandfather to send me to an old traditional doctor for treatment. Often sick turns into a physician, so I picked up some basic medical knowledge. I noticed something was off with your walk on our wedding day, and I also smelled disinfectant on you, so I guessed you must have undergone surgery.
And you just said, the surgery that girl performed on you was perfect. That was a major surgery, extracting a bullet under such primitive conditions, to perform so flawlessly, I imagine not many experts from a Large Hospital could achieve that, right?”
