Marry Me Quick

Chapter 799

Chapter 799 I Owe Him

Su Yige wasn't expecting to see Bai Yeqi there.

How could he be here?

Bai Yeqi's branch office and the Bai Residence were in completely opposite directions in this neighborhood. It made no sense that he would be here.

Could it be that he came to look for me?

However, she dismissed the thought as soon as it crossed her mind.

There was no way that Bai Yeqi would look for her, whom he had only spent one night with.

He walked up to Su Yige with a bag in his hand and handed it to her.

Su Yige glanced at him and accepted the bag. "Thank you."

Bai Yeqi looked at her before suddenly saying, "You don't seem afraid at all."

Bai Yeqi was a slender man with fair skin. He had a somewhat effeminate appearance. She had sensed a hint of melancholy in him when she saw him last time.

"Huh?"

She looked at Bai Yeqi and got distracted by his appearance. So, she didn't catch what he said.

Bai Yeqi only gazed at her before asking, "Where do you live? Let me take you back."

"It's okay, I'll be fine. No need to trouble yourself. Thank you for today." Su Yige felt uneasy as he didn't sound like he was here by chance.

She didn't want to get too involved with Bai Yeqi, so she turned around to leave.

Just then, she noticed the thug lying on the ground, holding a knife, struck at Bai Yeqi out of the corner of her eye.

"Watch out!" She barely had time to warn Bai Yeqi as she reached out to pull him away.

However, Bai Yeqi reached out his arm and blocked the attack just as the knife was about to get to Su Yige.

Blood instantly gushed out. But, Bai Yeqi was wearing a black shirt. So, only a wet patch could be seen on him.

Bai Yeqi was genuinely furious, and he didn't even notice the injury on his hand. He approached the thug and beat the crap out of him before making a phone call to put an end to the situation.

He noticed Su Yige was still standing idly, looking at him in a daze after that.

He approached her as if nothing had happened. "Let's go."

"But... Your arm..." Su Yige stared at his torn sleeve. It was clearly wet and sticky, indicating he had suffered an injury.

"It's just a minor injury." He appeared unconcerned as he said indifferently.

Even abnormalities in his complexion wouldn't be noticeable due to his fair skin.

Su Yige initially wanted to keep her distance from him, but she couldn't simply ignore him now that he was injured while saving her.

Moreover, he was the biological father of her baby nevertheless.

She let out a soft sigh before saying, "Let's go to a hospital."

She went ahead to get a cab after that.

Bai Yeqi squinted at her back and paused briefly before he eventually followed her.

...

In the hospital, Su Yige asked Bai Yeqi to wait while she went to queue up for registration.

She asked with concern when she noticed his uneasy look, "How do you feel?"

Bai Yeqi only shook his head. "I'm alright."

He didn't need to wait and queue up in the hospital actually.

He was entitled to special privileges even as an illegitimate son born of the Bai family.

But, he decided not to bring it up when he saw Su Yige's attention and care for him.

Doctors would come to their home whenever he fell ill or got injured since he married Shu Yanian years ago.

Besides, he knew that Shu Yanian didn't genuinely want to marry him.

So, he found himself inexplicably touched.

Was it because of his age now that even such actions could affect him?

Meanwhile, his hand seemed to be in a worse condition. The pain was starting to numb him.

He only furrowed his brows as he wondered if Su Yige would get upset if he were to tell her that he could rightly skip the queue now.

Just then, the director of the hospital hurried over with a crew of medical personnel.

The director's forehead was covered in cold sweat even though it was the winter season now.

He walked up to Bai Yeqi and respectfully addressed, "Mr. Bai."

Bai Yeqi was casually sitting in a chair, and he raised his head when he heard that. Then, he furrowed

his brows slightly and understood the situation shortly after.

Su Yige, who had been keeping an eye on Bai Yeqi's condition, also noticed what was happening.

She quickly realized that these people rushed over because they knew who Bai Yeqi was.

It made sense that there was no need for registration for someone like Bai Yeqi.

She overlooked this by accident.

She walked to them and heard the director say, "Did you injure your arm, Mr. Bai? Come with us. We'll take an X-ray and treat it accordingly."

Bai Yeqi let out a sigh and replied when he saw Su Yige approaching, "Alright."

Su Yige didn't leave him following that.

Bai Yeqi's injury was more severe than she had imagined.

The wound was deep enough to reveal the bone.

The doctor took an X-ray, and fortunately, the injury hadn't reached the bone, but it required quite a few stitches.

Su Yige watched in fear as the stitches were being done. She even turned her head to the side on a couple of occasions during the process.

They left the hospital together after Bai Yeqi's wound was taken care of.

Su Yige hailed a cab at the roadside, and she opened the door, saying, "Get in."

Bai Yeqi glanced at her and did as she said.

However, Su Yige closed the door from the outside following that, and Bai Yeqi's expression immediately changed.

"Wait."

He stopped the driver who was about to leave, and he used his uninjured hand to open the car's door.

"What do you mean?" This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Su Yige looked at him puzzled. "Aren't you going home now? Do you want to go somewhere else?"

Bai Yeqi got out of the cab and looked down at her from a higher position with his gaze exuding intense pressure.

"Are you leaving me to go back like this?"

His voice was calm.

But, Su Yige could sense his dissatisfaction.

She was grateful to him as he saved her. That was why she stayed by his side at the hospital, doing

what she could to help.

What else did he want from her?

Money? No way, he never had short of that.

What else could it be that he wanted?

Su Yige asked tentatively, "Can I treat you to a meal?"

She couldn't think of any other way to thank him.

Bai Yeqi seemed to lack nothing after all.

Could she help him find it even if there was something he wanted?

Bai Yeqi appeared to have eased slightly, and he said severely, "I will inevitably be questioned if I go back like this. So, I can't go home."

Bai Yunan would definitely mock his incapabilities and clumsiness.

Bai Mingxu would definitely ask how he got injured, and he wouldn't be able to hide it when that happened.

Su Yige's expression changed slightly. "What do you mean?"

Did he want to stay at her house?

Bai Yeqi only stared at her. "I'll stay at your place."

Su Yige's expression immediately stiffened for a moment, and she replied, "Okay."

Her response surprised Bai Yeqi. He thought she would refuse.

But, Su Yige didn't know Bai Yeqi's intentions at that instant.

It would mean trouble for her no matter what his intentions were.

She went along with him now that she owed him.

She would have to move out if he wanted to stay in her place.
