Chapter 262 You don't know how to cherish a beautiful woman?

Tan Xiaoxuan, panting, whispered to Zheng Xiaokun, "Xiaokun, remember not to tell my brother, grandpa, and parents about this. They'll worry if they find out."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "My brother has been busy with work lately, my grandfather isn't in good health, and my parents are always worrying about me. I don't want to cause them any more trouble."

Zheng Xiaokun hesitated for a moment, about to explain, when Tan Xiaoxuan interrupted him fiercely: "Has the ambulance arrived yet? Let me tell you, if I die here, the production crew won't be able to afford to compensate us!"

Tan Xiaoxuan cursed her bad luck inwardly. During filming, the wire suddenly broke, and she fell from mid-air like a ball. She was strong-willed and kept thinking about random things to keep herself energized, but in the end, she couldn't hold on any longer.

"Xiao Kun, I'm going to faint for a while. Don't be scared. Remember what I said." Tan Xiaoxuan gritted her teeth and finished speaking the last sentence before everything went black and she fainted.

Zheng Xiaokun could only nod helplessly.

When Tan Xiaoxuan woke up again, her vision was blurry. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a familiar face—Liu Zhidong. He was still wearing his military uniform, his upright figure seemingly embodying the righteous spirit of heaven and earth.

Tan Xiaoxuan was stunned for a moment, thinking she was seeing things. She subconsciously raised her hand to rub her eyes, but this pulled at her injuries, causing her to wince and howl in pain: "Ouch—it hurts so much!"

"You only broke two ribs. You'll be fine again when you're discharged in a few days," Liu Zhidong said, standing in front of the hospital bed, his tone neither warm nor cold.

Tan Xiaoxuan stared at him, her eyes wide with anger: "Liu Zhidong, don't you know how to cherish a woman? You're a leader, and you see me so badly injured, have you lost all your compassion?"

Liu Zhidong raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Compassion? Can you eat that or exchange it for money?"

Tan Xiaoxuan was speechless with anger, her eyes wide with fury: "I...I'm not done with you yet!"

She cursed inwardly, wondering how she could have encountered such a heartless man. She wanted to drag him down with her, but she couldn't reason with him, nor could she beat him in a fight.

Liu Zhidong simply smiled at her throughout, letting her sulk.

Tan Xiaoxuan had no choice but to admit defeat, turning her head away angrily: "Fine, you win!"

Liu Zhidong sat down next to Tan Xiaoxuan, reached out and pressed down her fidgeting hands, his voice as cold as ice: "If you keep making trouble, I'll prepare your coffin in advance."

Tan Xiaoxuan was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened in disbelief: "Is your heart made of iron? Can't you say something nice?"

Tan Xiaoxuan recalled the past, remembering how Liu Zhidong had always been incredibly attentive to her. When she fell and hurt herself as a child, he was extremely worried and even made her undergo a full medical checkup. He always said that she was the family's darling, their source of joy, and that nothing could harm her. He also said that she was sent by God to save him, and that seeing her made him happy.

“Back then, I truly believed that I was your whole world, that you couldn’t live well without me.” A trace of sadness flashed in Tan Xiaoxuan’s eyes. “I also thought that after growing up, it would be natural for me to be with you.”

However, reality slapped her hard in the face. After Tan Xiaoxuan turned eighteen, Liu Zhidong began to avoid her, and this avoidance lasted for several years. She confessed her feelings countless times, only to be met with his merciless ridicule.

"Do you want me to fall to my death so you can have some peace and quiet?" Tan Xiaoxuan asked through gritted teeth, her voice choked with sobs.

Liu Zhidong shrugged indifferently: "You should have some self-awareness."

Tan Xiaoxuan was instantly enraged. She cursed, "Liu Zhidong, you're worse than a pig or a dog!" She glared at him through gritted teeth, wishing she could devour him whole.

Liu Zhidong smiled indifferently: "You're not the first person to criticize me, and you won't be the last."

Tan Xiaoxuan was furious and struggled to get up, challenging, "Let's have a one-on-one fight if you dare!"

Liu Zhidong merely smiled slightly, stretched out his long arm, and easily pinned her to the hospital bed. Tan Xiaoxuan cried out in pain, "Have you no humanity?!"

Liu Zhidong withdrew his hand and said calmly, "I lost again."

Tan Xiaoxuan's face turned red with anger. She shouted, "You took advantage of me while I was in distress! Shameless! Wait until I'm better, then we'll have a one-on-one fight!"

Liu Zhidong shrugged indifferently: "I gave myself face. My tactic is to strike when the opponent is at their weakest."

Tan Xiaoxuan could hardly believe her ears. Her eyes widened, and her voice trembled slightly: "Liu Zhidong, do you have any integrity? Do your parents, bosses, colleagues, subordinates, and even the girl who secretly loves you know how shameless you are?"

Liu Zhidong looked at her seriously: "You can't eat your integrity, nor can you make money from it."

Tan Xiaoxuan was so angry she couldn't speak. She gritted her teeth, a determined glint in her eyes: "Liu Zhidong, you wait! From now on, I'm not acting anymore. I'm going to write a book about you—'Liu Zhidong's Love,' and expose all your embarrassing moments!"

The door to the ward was gently pushed open, and Xiao Qingqing appeared in the doorway, accompanied by A Ling. She took small steps and called out in a soft voice, "Auntie! Uncle!"

Tan Xiaoxuan and Liu Zhidong looked towards the door at the same time, and saw Xiao Qingqing taking small, wobbly steps as she walked in.

Liu Zhidong took two steps forward, picked up Xiao Qingqing, and showed a rare tenderness on his face: "Xiao Qingqing, you've grown up again, and you're getting cuter and cuter."

Little Qingqing giggled and looked at Liu Zhidong with bright eyes: "Grandpa Uncle, hug me and give me a kiss, and I'll give you money!"

Liu Zhidong paused for a moment, then raised an eyebrow, his tone slightly teasing: "Who taught you this? Tan Haoyu?"

"Dad said that my aunt fell from a very high place and got hurt, so he asked me to fix her." Xiao Qingqing tilted her head and explained earnestly, "I'll fix my aunt so she won't be angry anymore."

Liu Zhidong burst into laughter, his voice hearty and infectious: "Little Qingqing, you're such a clever little devil. Tan Xiaoxuan will have a rival now."

Tan Xiaoxuan glared at Liu Zhidong, then angrily picked up a pillow and threw it at him, but missed and hit herself instead, crying out, "Ouch!"

She stomped her feet in anger: "Liu Zhidong, you wait, I'm cutting all ties with you!"

Liu Zhidong didn't care at all. He placed Xiao Qingqing next to Tan Xiaoxuan's bed and said in a relaxed tone, "If my aunt wants to sever ties with me, then of course I'll leave. Xiao Qingqing, I'll be relieved if you fix up my aunt's broken clothes."

Little Qingqing stared in shock at Tan Xiaoxuan, who was yelling angrily, her eyes full of confusion: "Auntie, what is a scoundrel? Can you eat a scoundrel?"

Tan Xiaoxuan realized she had frightened Xiao Qingqing, so she quickly smiled and asked softly, "Xiao Qingqing, you're here to take care of your aunt, so why don't you go help your dad pursue your older sister, Da Qingqing?"
