Chapter 108: 108 is a bit disappointed
Ma Xudong only then noticed, and couldn't help but express his concern, "Eh? Zhizhong, you have an injury on your back? What happened? That's quite a bit of blood, isn't it?"
As he spoke, he examined it more closely. The fabric of Liu Zhizhong's shirt was stained red over a large area, and the gauze that had been applied at the clinic afterward was bulging out.
"Oh, haha, it's nothing, little uncle. You go about your business; your matters are more important..."
"How can that be? You must tell me! As my right-hand man, I, Ma Someone, must care!"
Ma Xudong was stern-faced, with a sense of concern naturally arising.
Liu Zhizhong felt somewhat touched inside, but he couldn't lie, so he told the truth.
Upon hearing this, Ma Xudong became somewhat angry and said with furrowed brows, "Qingqing is really willful, isn't she? Can't discern who treats her well, huh? Look what she did to you... No, I have to talk to her..."
"Hey, little uncle, please don't! That Qingqing has come back is already a great joy. What is this little injury of mine compared to that? In front of you, she is still a child, and she is like my little sister too. How can I not endure this? If you criticize her and she takes it out on me again, that wouldn't be good, right?"
With that persuasion, Ma Xudong thought about it and seemed to accept the logic, nodding his head in approval, "Zhizhong, to be a person, especially someone in officialdom, one must have your kind of broad-mindedness. So..."
"You go to the guest room and wash up; I'll go downstairs and ask the housekeeper to get some of my clothes and trousers for you to change into—they should fit you. But..."
As he spoke, Ma Xudong gave a knowing smile and whispered in his ear, "Tonight, little uncle indeed wanted to reward you, but with you being injured, I'm afraid it's not possible, so let's wait until next time, haha..."
After finishing, he left with a smile.
Liu Zhizhong was completely baffled and too embarrassed to ask what the reward was.
Meanwhile, Ma Xudong gave some instructions downstairs.
This even made the two housekeepers look obedient on the surface, though they felt a bit disappointed inside!
The handsome Liu Zhizhong had an injury on his back, after all, which obviously wasn't ideal for certain energetic activities, haha...
So, the two housekeepers had no choice but to comply with the orders—one to cook, and the other to bring Liu Zhizhong his clothes.
After showering, Liu Zhizhong changed into Ma Xudong's clothes and found they actually fit quite well.
Ma Xudong was a bit shorter than him but somewhat heavier, while Liu Zhizhong was strong but lean, so the clothes worked out fine.
Liu Zhizhong was feeling sentimental after changing, lamenting to himself, ah, the old saying is true, brothers are like limbs, women like clothes. Secretary Ma's clothes, I'm wearing them now, haha... how apt, haha...
However, the bite Luo Yanling gave him was really deep and painful; he probably wouldn't be able to wear that "article of clothing" for a while when he returned to the hotel tonight, alas...
But it was fine; having resolved the issues was good. Luo Yanling was genuinely devoted, even offering US dollars for a nap! Such a woman, not bad at all, heh heh...
When the housekeepers called Liu Zhizhong down for dinner, Ma Qingqing had changed into a house dress, saying she was hungry and wanted to eat something.
Ah, her loose house dress made her look so vibrant, her youthful allure was undeniable, making Liu Zhizhong truly envious!
The swelling on her face had gone down a bit, but it in no way detracted from her beauty and youthful allure.
Watching such a young university student, Liu Zhizhong felt an inexplicable touch of melancholy.
That girl from back then, she was also pure and stunning, but where was she now?
Because of her, there was a lifelong enmity between Zhang Hongyang and Liu Zhizhong!
However, when Ma Qingqing was walking downstairs behind him, seeing the bulging gauze on Liu Zhizhong's back made her feel a bit embarrassed.
"Brother Zhizhong, I'm sorry, I was rash. Is your injury still painful?"
Liu Zhizhong suddenly turned around, that call of "Brother Zhizhong" making his heart melt.
"It's nothing now. Qingqing is back home, and being able to call me 'brother' makes me feel no pain at all; it will heal in a few days."
His face was full of affectionate smiles, his eyes sparkling like cold stars, which truly made Ma Qingqing's heart flutter.
"Hehe, you really have a way with words. But it won't heal in a few days, right? I remember the doctor at the clinic saying it needs at least ten days to half a month! You also refused to get stitches!"
"Stitches would leave ugly marks, looking like two centipedes! My Little Sister Qingqing sure is fierce. Just one bite and she could bring out two creeping insects!"
"Hehe, you're so funny..."
"..."
The two bantered and laughed, going downstairs to eat, the housekeepers accompanying them.
Mmm, the food was truly delicious, very tasty indeed.
But Liu Zhizhong couldn't drink alcohol, so he had to settle for some beverages instead.
The housekeepers were genuinely happy about Ma Qingqing's return and admired Liu Zhizhong's ability to handle affairs; he was indeed extraordinary. Being arranged by the master to sleep with him in return, truly worth it!
These days, men who are both capable and handsome, and who at a glance seem to possess strong virility, are quite rare!
The two housekeepers, with high academic degrees, were quite knowledgeable.
However, right as they were eating, police cars arrived at the villa's gate, then rang the bell, with the housekeepers going to open the door.
As the door opened, several policemen stormed in with great momentum...
