Chapter 334 Wen Zizhou Knows She Ran Away from the Wedding

As he spoke, he took out a small mirror he always carried with him and looked at his wound. Although it was bandaged, a lot of blood had seeped out of the white gauze.

"Yeah, being a bit manly is just a bit ugly."

He moved slightly and accidentally pulled at his wound, causing him to wince in pain.

Song Tingwan was so anxious that she almost burst into tears, and quickly helped him lie down.

Ever since he was beaten up by Zhang Yidao and his brothers in the alley, he hasn't been beaten up by anyone else, except for his family.

Thinking of the fierce-looking face with the birthmark, he couldn't help but look at Song Tingwan and ask, "Did you kill their father or mother? So many people are here to arrest you."

"And why do you say I'm an adulterer?" Wen Zizhou asked, pointing to his own nose.

He had traveled all over the country for so many years, and this was the first time he had been wronged like this, even though he did look somewhat effeminate.

Song Tingwan was still laughing when she heard the first half of his sentence, but her expression changed immediately after hearing the second half.

She pursed her lips, looked at Wen Zizhou who was full of doubt, and finally told him everything about her running away from the wedding.

He'll probably hate me, right? Or he'll want me to disappear from his sight immediately.

Song Tingwan kept her head down, not daring to look at Wen Zizhou again, her mind already racing with thoughts of what might happen next.

Unexpectedly, Wen Zizhou suddenly sat up in bed, clutching his shoulder and looking out the window behind him.

"Is this clinic you chose safe? What if they come back later?"

"No, no, we can go hide at my fourth brother's and sister-in-law's place first."

Wen Zizhou got up as he spoke, his collarbone wound causing him to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.

Song Tingwan didn't know how things were going over there, and seeing Wen Zizhou's appearance made her feel extremely distressed.

After two unsuccessful attempts to persuade them, the two took a shortcut and cautiously made their way to Xiaozhai's side.

There was still light inside. Wen Zizhou knocked on the door a few times, his voice somewhat hurried.

There was a peephole on the door, which Wen Luozhi had someone do when she was renovating. The housekeeper glanced at it and quickly opened the door.

"Young Master Wen, what brings you here so late?"

Wen Zizhou pointed to his collarbone; after all that commotion, not only was he an idiot, but his white clothes were soaked in blood.

The butler was startled and quickly helped him inside. After glancing around to make sure no one was there, he quickly closed the door.

Hearing the commotion, Madam Jiang came out and immediately saw Wen Zizhou's injury. "Zizhou, what happened?! Quick, quick! Go and call the doctor from the courtyard!"

The butler readily agreed, and as the group entered the room, Jiang Shuqian also got up.

She was startled when she saw Wen Zizhou was injured, and then she told her servants to prepare things.

When he was nervous, he didn't feel it, but once he relaxed, Wen Zizhou realized that his collarbone was hurting terribly.

Song Tingwan didn't think too much about it at the time and went to a small clinic. The hemostatic medicine was only so-so.

The doctor treated it thoroughly before finally feeling relieved, saying, "The wound kept tearing open, so the bleeding increased."

"We absolutely cannot afford to cause any more trouble now," the doctor instructed, leaving two doses of fever-reducing medicine.

Wen Zizhou briefly recounted what had happened that evening, then took his medicine and fell asleep shortly afterward.

Song Tingwan moved a chair and sat on the edge of the bed. Thinking that there were servants waiting at the door, Jiang Shuqian opened her mouth but didn't say anything in the end.

After drinking two bowls of medicine, Wen Zizhou still developed a low-grade fever in the middle of the night, muttering that men with scars are handsome.

Song Tingwan's eyes welled up with tears as she listened to him change the handkerchief on his forehead. Over the past few days, she had discovered that Wen Zizhou was even more concerned with his appearance than a woman.

It's not entirely because I'm lazy that I don't like to work; it's because I'm afraid of roughening my hands.

He lives a more refined life than a woman... how could he not care about the scars that will remain in the future?

He woke up when the first rays of morning sunlight hit his face. The light was so bright that his eyes felt uncomfortable, and he blinked several times before they adjusted.

He looked up slightly and found that Song Tingwan had fallen asleep lying down, still holding a handkerchief in her hand.

Wen Zizhou touched his forehead and then looked at Song Tingwan.

Song Tingwan's face was directly facing him, and the light shone on her face, making her look serene and beautiful.

This was the first time Wen Zizhou had seen a woman up close, and he suddenly realized that Song Tingwan was not bad-looking.

Thinking back to last night when the guy with the birthmark was being chased by them, Song Tingwan protected him behind her.

Apart from his younger sister Wen Luozhi, no other woman had ever treated him like this.

Now that they're rich, quite a few girls have come to them, but I doubt any of them would go to this lengths.

There was a breeze outside the window, and he gently nudged the person lying on the bed.

Song Tingwan groggily opened her eyes and sat up with delight when she saw him awake. "Zizhou, you're awake! Are you hungry? Does your wound still hurt?!"

Wen Zizhou shook his head seriously, a rare occurrence for him. "Do you want to take a nap?"

As he spoke, he patted the seat next to him, then, realizing he'd done something wrong, quickly explained, "I didn't mean to be a pervert, I just wanted you to get some sleep."

Song Tingwan's beautiful eyes brightened, and she shook her head, her voice as cheerful as a little sparrow, "I'll go get the doctor to change your dressing."

She got up and ran out, and Wen Zizhou's heart stirred slightly as he watched her hurried yet cheerful figure.

Sigh! Such a good girl shouldn't have any trouble getting married, so why did her father just find her a mentally challenged man?

Just look at how those people treated her yesterday; how could she possibly have a good life after marrying into that family?

Just as he was feeling sorry for Song Tingwan, Xie He's voice could be heard coming from inside the courtyard.

"Mother-in-law, how is my son?!" Xie He followed Madam Jiang in and almost lost her composure when she saw Wen Zizhou lying on the bed with his lips deathly pale.

"You brat, where have you gotten yourself into trouble again!"

She slapped Wen Zizhou lightly, as if to comfort him.

Song Tingwan, who had just returned from fetching the doctor, entered the room just in time to see what was happening. She rushed over and stood in front of Wen Zizhou, saying anxiously, "Auntie, this is all my fault, it's all because of me!"

Please don't blame Zizhou.

Wen Zizhou grinned behind her, "Mom, ask Tingwan if I was really brave yesterday."

With Song Tingwan protecting her and Wen Zizhou still talking nonsense, Xie Hezhi knew that this wasn't a life-threatening injury, so she immediately stopped being angry.

She pressed Song Tingwan down to sit and began to nag the two of them, "You two need to be mindful of the times when you go out to play."

"You're such a grown man, can't you give me a break? Next time, bring a few more people with you!"

Heaven knows how anxious she was on the way here, even though she seemed to find fault with her third son in every way.

How could she not feel heartache for a piece of her own flesh?

Song Tingwan sat obediently and listened attentively, nodding occasionally in cooperation. Xie He knew she was taking it all in and was very satisfied.

Then look at Wen Zizhou; his injuries don't stop him from lying there crookedly and nonchalantly.

She said she was too lazy to watch, and simply pulled Song Tingwan outside, saying, "Come on, Auntie will make you and Shuqian something delicious."

Jiang Shuqian stopped her and whispered, "Mother, Tingwan stayed up all night watching over Third Brother; she probably didn't get enough rest."

Upon hearing this, Xie He glared at Wen Zizhou, then turned to Song Tingwan with a smile and said, "Good child, go and rest for a while. Auntie will call you when the food is ready."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law escorted Song Tingwan into the house. After they left, Jiang Shuqian, with a gossipy look on her face, said, "Mom, I noticed Tingwan's feelings for Third Brother..."

"tsk"

She pondered for a moment, but then frowned as she thought about Song Tingwan telling Wen Zizhou about her running away from the wedding last night.
