Sweet Rebirth: The Little Healer

Li Gongming frowned, touching his face with one hand. ”Back off!” he snarled.

’This is between me and Zhao Nuanyue. Conflicts between a man and a woman should be handled privately. No need to get the bodyguards involved.’

If she hadn’t just slapped him, he wouldn’t have gotten this close to Zhao Nuanyue, close enough to clearly see those unforgettable eyes.

Hearing Li Gongming’s command, the two bodyguards had no choice but to retreat, not daring to step forward. Besides, they figured Zhao Nuanyue was just an ordinary woman, hardly capable of harming Mr. Li.

Li Gongming slowly approached Zhao Nuanyue, the red mark of her slap still visible on his face. He chuckled lightly. ”Nuanyue, I didn’t see you. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t have been driving so fast.”

”Don’t use my name. We’re not that familiar,” Zhao Nuanyue retorted coldly, giving Li Gongming a frigid look. ”Your car grazed me, and my sister and I fell. I slapped you. We’re even.”

With that, Zhao Nuanyue righted her bicycle, but it was broken, so she could only push it along.

Li Gongming looked at her and said, ”The Hua family doesn’t care about you at all. You don’t have to be so devoted to them. If you’re with me, you’ll get far more benefits, more wealth and status.”

”In your dreams! You broke my bicycle, so don’t forget to pay for it.” Without turning back, Zhao Nuanyue placed Little Red Carp on the bike and started to push. But after a few steps, the bike gave out completely. Zhao Nuanyue had no choice but to pick up Little Red Carp and head for the hospital.

As for her broken bicycle, Zhao Nuanyue left it by the side of the road. She would find someone to come and fix it later.

Watching Zhao Nuanyue’s stubborn departing figure, Li Gongming smiled.

’He was beginning to understand why someone as proud as Hua Yusen would fall for a girl from an ordinary background.’

’Perhaps it wasn’t just her looks. It might have been that indomitable spirit of hers, the kind that makes a man want to conquer it.’

At that moment, this was the only thought on Li Gongming’s mind.

Little Red Carp looked at Li Gongming with contempt and whispered in Zhao Nuanyue’s ear, ”Sister, that scumbag has taken a liking to you. But you mustn’t like someone like that. He was fooling around with another woman just yesterday!”

”Huh?” Zhao Nuanyue was taken aback. ’I can’t believe Li Gongming is interested in me.’ But she wasn’t worried. ’Hua Yusen will be awake soon, so I don’t need to be afraid of him.’ ”How do you know he was fooling around with another woman?”

”It’s simple. He smells like he’s just been with a woman,” Little Red Carp said. ”Anyway, he’s not a good person. We should stay away from him.”

”You’re right,” Zhao Nuanyue nodded, agreeing with Little Red Carp.

But Li Gongming wasn’t about to let Zhao Nuanyue just walk away. He quickened his pace and caught up to her.

Zhao Nuanyue sped up but couldn’t shake him. She glared at him and demanded, ”Li Gongming, why exactly are you following me?”

”Heh, it’s simple. I want to compensate you for your bicycle,” Li Gongming said with a light laugh. ”Come with me, and I’ll get you a new one right away.”

”Just buy it and have someone deliver it to Immortal Grass Hall,” Zhao Nuanyue snapped. ”If you keep following me, I’ll start screaming ’Pervert!’”

”Heh, go on, scream then,” Li Gongming laughed, completely unconcerned by her threat. ”It’s broad daylight, and I haven’t done anything to you. I’m just walking with you.”

’Even the most fiery woman can’t resist a persistent man. As long as he showered her with a little attention and a few gifts, Zhao Nuanyue would become his lover, just like all the others.’

’Having such a beautiful mistress would be a wonderful new experience.’

Zhao Nuanyue couldn’t shake Li Gongming. ’Sometimes, I really wish I could just have Little Red Carp use a Spell and cripple him.’

But she would quickly come to her senses. ’I can’t do that.’

’She couldn’t bear the thought of making Little Red Carp suffer for the sake of a scumbag like him.’

Little Red Carp’s face was flushed with frustration. She scolded, ”You’re a bad man! A really bad man!”

Being scolded by a little girl with a squeaky voice stunned Li Gongming for a moment, but when he saw Little Red Carp’s pretty face, his eyes lit up. ’She’s this beautiful already? She’ll be an absolute knockout when she grows up.’

’What a fine pair of sisters.’

’Once I’m tired of the older one, the little one will be all grown up. Perfect.’

The thoughts of a true scumbag, a beast in human form.

Just as Zhao Nuanyue was getting exasperated, unable to shake Li Gongming no matter what, Hua Yulin drove by. He saw his sister-in-law looking flustered and rushed, as if someone was chasing her. When Hua Yulin looked behind her, he was shocked to see Li Gongming.

’That bastard... that lecherous scumbag! How dare he harass my sister-in-law, Zhao Nuanyue!’

’A surge of rage made Hua Yulin want to kill Li Gongming, to chop off those hands that dared to grope at his sister-in-law.’

Hua Yulin got out of the car, walked directly up to Li Gongming, and punched him in the face. The same spot that Zhao Nuanyue had slapped was hit again, and it immediately became red and swollen.

The two bodyguards rushed over and started fighting with Hua Yulin.

Hua Yulin had practiced martial arts since childhood and wasn’t the least bit afraid of the two bodyguards. However, anyone chosen to protect Li Gongming had to have considerable skill. The three of them broke into a brawl on the side of the road.

Zhao Nuanyue was very worried. It was two against one, and she was afraid something would happen to Hua Yulin.

Li Gongming stood to the side, watching Hua Yulin fight his bodyguards with a leisurely air. He smirked and said, ”Heh, Nuanyue, you’re quite the charmer. Even your little brother-in-law cares about you this much.”

Hearing this, Zhao Nuanyue became even more furious. ’This man is disgusting, trying to slander me like that!’

”It’s because your own mind is filthy that you see others the same way,” Zhao Nuanyue said coldly, her face expressionless. ”Shouldn’t the Li family be keeping a low profile right now? You acting so conspicuously is definitely not over an insignificant woman like me. You must have an ulterior motive, one directed at the Hua family and Elder Gu.”

”Heh!” Li Gongming smiled. ”You’re right, there is a plan. I know Hua Yusen has regained consciousness, and it’s only a matter of time before he wakes up. Hua Yusen has always lost to me. Whether it’s family advancement, business, or women, Hua Yusen has always lost to me.”

Hearing this, Zhao Nuanyue understood. Li Gongming wasn’t just targeting her, but Hua Yusen, the Hua family, and even Elder Gu.

’What on earth did Hua Yusen do to him to make him so resentful? He’s willing to suppress Hua Yusen in business and constantly go after his women.’

’Like Guo Dongmei in the past, and now me, Hua Yusen’s current fiancée.’

”Heh, you won’t succeed,” Zhao Nuanyue said with a small laugh. She hugged Little Red Carp and turned to leave. ”Yu Lin, hold on! I’m going to get help!”

’The hospital isn’t far. Liu Jian and Wang Hai are there.’

But Li Gongming blocked Zhao Nuanyue’s path, preventing her from moving forward.
