Bab 15: I’d Rather Get Hurt
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xie Xun was sitting quietly on the sofa. He was tall and straight. When he heard her footsteps, he looked up at her calmly. His eyes were dark and calm.
Qin Zheng felt guilty for no reason. She walked up to him and said softly, "This is the painkiller. Take some first. Your wound hurts, right?"
"It doesn't hurt."
Qin Zheng was pouring water for him. When she heard Xie Xun say it didn't hurt, she thought that he didn't want her to feel too guilty. Her heart felt even worse. "That knife is so sharp, and your wound is so deep and bleeding. How can it not hurt?"
"It won't hurt."
The sound of pouring water drowned out Xie Xun's answer. Qin Zheng couldn't hear him clearly. After pouring the water, Qin Zheng turned back to look at him. "What did you say just now?"
Xie Xun leaned against the sofa and said with a faint expression, "Nothing."
Qin Zheng took the cup and the pills. She counted the number of pills he should eat and handed them to Xie Xun. "Take the pills first."
Xie Xun looked at the painkillers in front of him. Something appeared in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. After a moment of silence, he raised his hand and took the painkillers.
Qin Zheng looked at Xie Xun's handsome and fair face. His skin was already very fair. After being stabbed, his face became even paler. She hurriedly said, "Your hand is injured. Don't go to work for a while. It's important to recover. I've already helped you with Manager Zhao's side."
Xie Xun didn't answer her. He just looked at her with a deep gaze.
Qin Zheng looked at his appearance and took a deep breath. "Xie Xun, thank you for today's matter. You saved me again..." She wanted to block in front of him, but he held the knife first, which could be considered as saving her.
Before Qin Zheng could finish, the man interrupted her coldly. "I'm not saving you." Xie Xun leaned against the sofa, his expression calm and cold. "I just don't want to be saved by you."
It was obvious that the knife was indeed aimed at Xie Xun. Xie Xun's expression was cold, and his voice was clear. "Between being injured and being entangled with you, I choose to be injured."
Qin Zheng: "..."
She knew that Xie Xun was telling the truth. But even if she knew, she still felt a little sad when she heard him say that with her own ears. He had drawn the line too clearly, so she couldn't misunderstand him even if she wanted to.
Although the incident this time wasn't an accident caused by Qin Zheng, it had happened when she was around. It seemed that as long as he was with her, he would always be unlucky and injured. Sometimes, even Qin Zheng could not help but doubt herself if she was possessed by bad luck.
After Qin Zheng left, Lin Chong rushed over to check on the situation. "Master, are you alright?"
Xie Xun did not answer. He lowered his head and removed the bandages that Qin Zheng had bandaged for him. He threw them aside in disgust. Looking at the wound on his palm, Xie Xun's eyes flashed with a cold and hateful light.
Lin Chong had already understood the ins and outs of the matter. Looking at Xie Xun, whose eyes were filled with killing intent, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, why did you save Miss Qin just now?"
Xie Xun's expression was cold. "That stab won't hit her vital parts. She won't die if I don't stop the dagger."
Lin Chong understood that if Qin Zheng really stabbed Xie Xun, it would mean that his master owed Qin Zheng a favor. If he wanted to kill Miss Qin in the future, it would be an act of revenge.
Lin Chong glanced at Xie Xun's dark eyes and his heart trembled. His Young Master really thought about killing Miss Qin all the time. He estimated that his Young Master must have thought of ten thousand ways to kill Miss Qin right now...
Lin Chong thought for a moment and asked softly, "Then regarding Xia Qing, what do you want to do with her?"
"Qin Zheng will take care of her." Xie Xun wrapped the gauze again.
Lin Chong looked at Xie Xun's cold expression and his eyes flashed. Xia Qing had always liked Xie Xun. However, she was different from Qin Zheng. She would not pester Xie Xun. She had a good grasp of distance and would not cause others to dislike her. And this time, she had even killed someone for Xie Xun. It could be seen how sincere she was towards Xie Xun...
Unfortunately, Xie Xun was as cold as ice. He did not show the slightest bit of emotion towards Xia Qing's fate. He was extremely cold.

In the Qin Corporation's office, Qin Zheng listened to her secretary's report.
Bang!
A loud sound came from the door of the office. A middle-aged man in a suit and tie rushed in with an imposing manner. The man was about fifty years old and his face was full of dignity. His pair of sharp eyes were filled with anger. "Qin Zheng, who allowed you to interrupt the cooperation with the Lu Corporation? Do you know how much the Qin Corporation will lose because of your willful and reckless behavior?"
