Wooing my Bodyguard Wife

Chapter 308 First-Not-Aid

"Okay, breathe and relax," Xue Ning instructed. "I'll shift it on the count of three. One,  -"

Xue Ning grabbed his nose bridge and shifted it on the count of two, and a sharp burst of pain reverberated in Wei Yan's head, forming starbursts behind his eyes. He howled out loud, and more than one old neighbour blinked in their beds, surprised at the unfamiliar sound.

("Mama, I told you there are werewolves living within us!"

"There is no such thing my dear, go back to bed and stop reading those strange foreign stories! I'll take away your computer time if you don't!")

Jingwei hurriedly covered Wei Yan's mouth with his hand, not wanting him to attract unwanted attention, only for Wei Yan to chomp down on his hand as though it was a makeshift cloth gag!

Now Jingwei howled in pain.

("See Mom, you heard that too! It's a new wolf!"

"Werewolves are not real - I'm banning you from the computer!"

"MOM!")

Meanwhile, the two men watched in amusement. "See, now he's biting the hand that feeds him, literally!" Zhong Qing commented with a snicker.

"Very apt observation," Luo Lan added, shaking his head judgmentally. "If this isn't proof of his deficient character, nothing is!"

Wei Yan heard every word, and promptly bit down harder on Jingwei's hand in retaliation, determined to chomp off a bit of flesh as though he was a rabid dog. How dare these strangers make defamations of his character! They knew nothing!

Then Xue Ning pulled back her fist and landed a harsh blow on his stomach, causing him to cough in pain! Jingwei used this chance to pull his hand away, wringing it in disgust in front of him. Other than the bite marks, it was covered in Wei Yan's spit, which made it completely gross!

If it was Xue Ning biting him, he would have soldered through the pain. Or found it sexy.

"Oi! Why did you bite me?" Jingwei demanded hotly, looking for something to wipe his hand with, and finally deciding on Wei Yan's shirt. Since the spit was from him, it made sense to return it to its rightful owner.

Wei Yan didn't think it was a good idea, and tried to wriggle away from Jingwei's hand. But since he was still tied up, he only succeeded in looking like a dying tuna.

"Why did you put your hand in my mouth then?" Wei Yan retorted.

"Who asked you to scream so loud - you could have maimed me you asshole -"

"Quiet, both of you," Xue Ning instructed as she grabbed Jingwei's hand to check the damage. Other than the bite mark and broken skin, he was fine!

"You'll live," Xue Ning said nonchalantly, dropping his hand like a hot potato. The two strangers watched in surprise - wasn't she supposed to be his fiancee? Where was the tender loving care that was supposed to happen in moments like this?

Then she took a look at Wei Yan's nose, and a frown crossed her face. Was it her imagination, or did his nose seem more swollen than before? The guides said that resetting it would reduce swelling. Perhaps she made an error. Oh dear.

"Wei Yan, the swelling isn't going down. I need to try again." Xue Ning said, and Wei Yan shuddered.

"No thank you! You don't know what you're doing! If I let you continue, my nose will be destroyed! I can't even breathe properly now!" Wei Yan shrieked.

Instead of wriggling now, he flipped himself on his side and began rolling to escape.

It was humiliating, but if he could escape the unbearable pain, it would be worth it!

"I can buy you a new nose," Jingwei said helpfully, as Luo Lan and Zhong Qing wheezed through their perfectly uninjured noses. The blood loss was making everything a lot funnier than normal, but they quickly stopped when they saw the sulky look on Li Xue Ning's face. Sun Jingwei had caught it too, and hugged her supportively.

"It's okay if he doesn't appreciate your effort, I definitely do! And these guys will too!" Jingwei said, giving them a knowing look. "Right guys?"

"Yes, yes, of course."

"If you wish to bandage our wounds, we'd be most grateful."

Of course, they wouldn't protest even if she wrapped them in so many bandages that they became mummies. At least they wouldn't bleed to death!

Xue Ning felt better, even as she spared one last guilty look at Wei Yan's back. She began to apply first aid on their wounds, and the men were pleasantly surprised that her bandaging skills were better than her bone-setting abilities. They didn't feel like they were close to losing their limbs!

Meanwhile, Xue Ning could only marvel at the wounds. They looked shallow, but they actually bled a lot! And the wounds were right near the tendons, ensuring that anyone who suffered from these wounds would feel incredible pain and find it difficult to move around.

"Who did this to you? Ming Guang?" Xue Ning wondered. She would have to ask him to teach her! This was such a useful skill!

"Who is Ming Guang? The old man in the bloody shirt?" Zhong Qing asked.

"No, that's my dad." Xue Ning replied, and both men froze.

"What?"

"Your dad?"

"Is that something surprising?" Xue Ning asked, her hands paused over the man's knees.

"You can say that." Luo Lan mused. "It's not every day a daughter patches up the wounds inflicted by her father."

".... you mean my father did this to you?" Xue Ning laughed incredulously. "Nonsense! He has arthritis!"

"More like he gives people arthritis," Zhong Qing muttered warily. "If I can't draw after this, I'll raise hell."

"You can't draw anyway." Luo Lan pointed out. "If anything, this is an improvement." Zhong Qing wanted to kick him, but his legs were still injured, so instead he turned to this young woman.

"Miss Li, I swear on my life and my hands and my balls, your father did this to us. In fact, I bet if you went to the restaurant right now, you'll see the rest of my team members in even worse shape!"
