Chapter 1367: Chapter 1368 Hero Saved by Beauty (2)
"Cough, well, not envy, but certainly many blessings. Old Master Sun’s grandson seems to really like the bride; the way he looks at her is different."
Sun Yaohua gazed at the bride with deep tenderness and affection, which made An Yiqing inevitably think of Gu Yelin, far away in Xuandu City.
"That’s true. The aristocratic families are the most cold-hearted; to spend a lifetime with someone truly loved is a rare thing. Sun Yaohua is lucky, and so are my sister-in-law and I. Little Sister Xiao Qing, General Gu is a good man, you must hold onto him."
An Yiqing nodded, just about to speak, when her face suddenly changed!
In the center of the spacious and festive banquet hall, Li Yuphei was surrounded by people, chatting and laughing. Above them, the huge crystal chandelier flickered and shook violently a few times, then instantly broke!
Those with sharp eyes noticed the change and screamed in fright! If that huge crystal chandelier fell on someone, even steel bones would surely perish!
"Run! The chandelier is falling!"
A scream rang out, and those standing under the chandelier twitched, looking up in shock.
As soon as they saw the breaking crystal chandelier, their faces turned deadly pale, scrambling and crawling to get out.
However, Li Yuphei, who was at the center of the crowd, was knocked down by the panicked masses and watched helplessly as the huge crystal chandelier came crashing towards him!
At the same time, Nan Feng, just stepping out from the lounge on the second floor, witnessed this terrifying scene!
His face suddenly darkened as he quickly circulated his Inner Breath, flashing from the second floor, trying to rescue Li Yuphei.
But unfortunately, he was too far from Li Yuphei’s location, even with his energy maxed out, he was powerless.
The crystal chandelier was about to hit Li Yuphei’s head, and as the sharp crystal almost made dangerous contact with Li Yuphei’s nose, a pair of fair and clean jade hands appeared out of thin air, pulling him out by the arm!
The hair-raising moment made everyone exclaim as they looked at the shattered crystal chandelier scattered on the ground, all breaking out in a cold sweat!
Too dangerous! Utterly dangerous! If Young Master Li from Flower Island hadn’t been rescued, he would have certainly become a sieve now!
Although everyone seemed unsure whether this Young Master Li was indeed from the Li Family, seeing the importance Old Master Nanfeng placed on him, it was clear he wasn’t ordinary.
"Yu Fei, are you alright? Quick! Call a doctor!" The hurriedly arriving Old Master Nanfeng turned pale seeing Li Yuphei lying on the ground covered in blood.
"Cough cough, Grandpa Nan, I’m fine, just some minor injuries, I’m okay." Li Yuphei gasped sharply, gripping his injured thigh tightly.
Although he was saved in time, the sharp edge of the crystal chandelier had still left cuts all over his body. But for Li Yuphei, this was still better than being turned into a sieve.
Looking up at the suddenly appearing An Yiqing next to him, Li Yuphei’s eyes held an inexplicable expression.
She saved him; if not for this girl, he would have already departed for the Underworld.
"Thank you for earlier; if it weren’t for you..."
Before Li Yuphei could finish his words, An Yiqing glanced at him with indifference and mercilessly pinched his thigh.
"I’m a doctor; just doing my duty to save lives. Your wounds are quite severe and need immediate treatment, or they might get infected, bear with it."
Not waiting for Li Yuphei’s reply, An Yiqing turned and instructed the anxiously watching Old Master Nanfeng, "I need some emergency supplies, I believe Old Master Nan can get them."
"Alright! Just say it! I’ll arrange for them immediately!" Old Master Nanfeng nodded quickly in agreement.
As the host, Sun Xing broke out in a cold sweat from the recent accident. If An Yiqing hadn’t promptly rescued Li Yuphei, today’s celebratory event would have turned into a tragedy, and the Sun Family would have faced the wrath of the Nan Family and the Li Family from Flower Island.
Thinking of this, Sun Xing couldn’t help but feel a lot of gratitude towards An Yiqing.
Medical supplies arrived swiftly; An Yiqing deftly took out surgical needles and thread, tearing open Li Yuphei’s pants in front of everyone, and began stitching up the wounds.
Those present closed their eyes, unable to bear watching the bloody scene unfold; inwardly, they felt a hint of respect towards An Yiqing.
To face such a bloody scene without turning pale, this young lady truly has some skills.
"This is anesthetic, take it," An Yiqing took a pill from her pocket and handed it to Li Yuphei.
Li Yuphei looked at An Yiqing, then at the pill, gently shaking his head.
"Using anesthetic can damage neuronal functions; my work doesn’t permit my brain to be affected. Miss An, go ahead and treat me, I can tolerate the pain."
An Yiqing’s eyebrows raised slightly, showing some surprise in her gaze towards Li Yuphei. She didn’t know his identity, but judging by his demeanor, he was clearly someone who grew up pampered and privileged. She assumed he was the kind of young master who hadn’t endured much hardship but was surprised to find him resilient.
Admiringly glancing at Li Yuphei, An Yiqing said no more, focusing on the stitching process.
Time ticked by, with Old Master Nanfeng and Sun Xing intently watching An Yiqing’s every move. Due to the immense pain, Li Yuphei’s face turned ghostly pale, sweat pouring like beans, soaking his entire back.
Finally, after ten minutes, An Yiqing finished attending to all the wounds.
"Rest well, and don’t walk for a few days. Watch your diet to prevent infection," An Yiqing softly instructed as she packed away her things.
Li Yuphei blinked innocently, saying: "Miss An, since you’ve started saving me, I must trouble you for the coming days."
An Yiqing’s hands paused in packing her things, turning to Li Yuphei incredulously. What was this man saying? Trouble her? When did she say she was going to help him?!
Seeming to see the doubt in An Yiqing’s heart, Li Yuphei wearily shrugged: "Thank you again, Miss An, for saving me today. I’ve come to the Mainland for business matters and am scheduled to attend a meeting in a few days. With injuries like these, a regular doctor might not manage. Ah, looks like I’ll need to be pushed in a wheelchair to attend the meeting!"
