163: Chapter 163 I'm Sorry

Murong Lan knelt on the ground, her slender hand tightly covering her wound.

But fresh blood still seeped through her fingers.

It streaked across her fair skin, leaving a crimson painting.

Xiao Ran's breath was faint, as if he had lost most of his vitality.

He propped open his heavy eyelids, unwilling to simply fall asleep!

What if this sleep was eternal?

Shiqing was still waiting for him at home!

He couldn't collapse yet!

"Mom! Hurry and get the first-aid kit! Hurry!" Murong Lan shrieked, her voice hoarse.

Everything happened in a flash of lightning.

"A Qing! Call 120 immediately! I'll get the medicine box!" Tang Jiayu blurted out, then rushed into the bedroom.

Murong Qing, with four vivid red finger marks on her face, stared blankly at the horrifying scene on the sofa.

She forgot to think, she forgot to breathe!

Murong Lan, still kneeling on the ground, suddenly turned her head coldly.

The disappointment in her eyes flashed, making Murong Qing's whole body turn cold.

Only then did she react, quickly pulling out her phone and dialing 120.

"Hello! Please come to No. 18, Sunshine Villa Area, someone is bleeding heavily..."

After all this was done.

Murong Qing trembled as she squatted on the ground, hugging her knees tightly, her eyes revealing deep fear and self-reproach.

A moment later.

Tang Jiayu finally came out, holding the first-aid kit.

She quickly went to Xiao Ran and knelt down.

"A Lan! Move aside! Let Mom do it!"

Murong Lan quickly stood up, entrusting the next steps to her mother.

Tang Jiayu gently lifted his undershirt, revealing his waist wrapped in a thin bandage.

At this moment, she was startled!

Xiao Ran was actually injured!

No wonder one punch caused such a hemorrhage!

"This... Xiao Ran, you..."

She wanted to ask, but she stopped herself.

Now was not the time to talk!

Murong Lan stood by, at a loss.

When she saw Xiao Ran's injury, she couldn't hold back anymore!

Tears, as big as beans, gushed out!

He was injured, he was bleeding.

Her whole world seemed to collapse!

Compared to the disappointment of breaking up.

The stinging pain from the blood was thousands, even tens of thousands of times more intense!

She didn't even know when he got hurt, or why he got hurt!

Why didn't he tell her about his injury?

Was she not qualified to know?

She was clearly his girlfriend before!

She was qualified to know!

Unfortunately... she wasn't anymore... [+10 days]

At this moment.

Her heart felt like it was being squeezed by something, unable to breathe freely.

It was as if a surge of heat expanded in her chest, wanting to scream but finding her voice unable to escape.

It was also as if a giant rock was pressing on her chest, making her breathless.

A sharp, stinging pain.

A drowning sensation of suffocation.

If he was gone, if he disappeared... what would she do... At this moment.

Murong Lan seemed to understand!

Turns out.

It wasn't that he couldn't live without her!

It was that she couldn't live without him!

"A Lan! Talk to him, don't let him faint!" Tang Jiayu said urgently, while unwrapping the gauze.

"Okay!"

Murong Lan sniffled and wiped her nose.

Then she gently sat down on Xiao Ran's left side.

She was already drenched in sweat without realizing it.

Tears still hung in the corners of her eyes, and the longing and regret in her gaze were evident!

The girl's slender hand slowly lifted, her fingertips trembling slightly.

It was as if she was anticipating, yet also afraid.

Slowly, quietly, she approached the boy's pale face.

Finally, the girl touched him!

But... he was so cold... her heart ached so much... The girl's fingertips gently brushed his skin, seemingly trying to leave a trace of fleeting warmth.

"Brother Xiao Ran... I'm sorry..."

The boy felt the warm touch and laboriously turned his head.

A flicker of imperceptible confusion passed through his half-closed, tired eyes.

Such a strange girl.

He didn't seem to know her!

Why was she touching him?

Why was she calling him Brother Xiao Ran?

He pursed his pale lips, just about to speak.

"Hiss~~"

He suddenly stiffened, his fists clenching tightly.

The tearing sensation in his abdomen returned once more!

It was the woman gently peeling back that blood-red 'veil' for him!

"Brother Xiao Ran! What's wrong with you!"

Murong Lan looked panicked.

She quickly grabbed his hand, trying to alleviate his pain!

She didn't even dare to look down!

Didn't dare to look at the bloody wound!

On his abdomen.

A gushing, rapidly bleeding crack appeared.

The infiltration of blood obscured the original appearance of the wound!

But the several healed scars around the crack were so conspicuous!

Like green leaves, they highlighted the red flower in the center.

It made Tang Jiayu curl her toes and her scalp tingle!

This rapidly bleeding wound didn't look like it was caused by a sharp weapon!

It looked more like... a gunshot wound!

"Boom!"

A bolt from the blue instantly struck Tang Jiayu's mind!

She understood!

Everything made sense!

Robbers! Gunshots!

Men in black! Rescuing people!

Dinner invitation! The injured boy! He suffered a gunshot wound!

Putting all this together... Xiao Ran! He was her daughter's savior!

Their family!

They had actually injured their daughter's savior! And severely injured him!

The wound had only just begun to scab!

But her husband had directly punched the wound!

Pain, regret, self-reproach!

All sorts of emotions surged forth!

Tang Jiayu subconsciously looked at her daughter.

The bitterness in her heart was inexpressible!

'Don't tell her yet!'

She knew that if her daughter found out about this news, she would definitely break down!

So she decided, to hide it for as long as she could!

Thinking of this, she quickly began to use her learned first-aid knowledge to clean the wound... Outside the gate of the villa's courtyard.

Murong Yao was completely unaware of what was happening inside the house.

He was squatting comfortably in front of the gate, completely without the image of a company CEO, smoking his Liqun cigarette.

This was already the third one!

He hadn't felt this good in a long time!

Only when Xiao Ran diverted attention did he dare to be so unrestrained.

Normally, he would have been thoroughly scolded by his wife!

Murong Yao squinted, exhaling smoke, and muttered to himself:

"This young man, his acting is good. I'll have to thank him properly later!"

He looked at his watch, feeling a little confused.

"But it's already half-past seven! Why haven't they arrived yet? Did they stand me up?"

Suddenly.

He vaguely heard a familiar sound.

And it gradually became clearer.

"Beep-boop~~ Beep-boop~~"

Murong Yao stood up curiously, tiptoeing to look towards the source of the sound.

"Where's that ambulance coming from? Whose family is sick?"

Two minutes later.

Murong Yao stared blankly at the ambulance parked in front of his house.

The cigarette was about to burn his fingers, but he hadn't reacted.

Eating gossip at his own home, the clown was himself!

'Who in the family had an accident?'
