Chapter 997: Chapter 995: Three Articles of Covenant

Although Jian Dan said that, Chu Liyuan’s eyebrows remained tightly furrowed, and his chest felt tight as he watched Jian Jian’s swollen ankle.

Sizhe and Yuanyuan hurried over, taking less than half an hour from the time they received the call to their arrival at Li Garden.

Someone knocked on the bedroom door, “Old Chu, I’m here!”

“Come in quickly!” Chu Liyuan urged anxiously.

“What happened?”

“You’re so slow, come and check this out!”

As Sizhe knelt down to examine Jian Dan’s ankle, he said, “Me, slow? I raced over here as soon as I hung up the phone, okay? You still think I’m slow?

The speeding ticket I’ll get on the way here, you’re going to reimburse me, right?”

“Stop with the nonsense, how is it?” Chu Liyuan’s entire focus was on Jian Dan at the moment.

“I’ve taken a look, and there doesn’t seem to be any serious problem, just a sprain, although it’s quite a severe one. So, try to move as little as possible these next few days! A good rest for a few days should do the trick!”

“It’s swollen like this, and you’re saying it’s not a problem?” Chu Liyuan asked with a cold face.

“Old Chu, though you’re not a doctor, you’ve been in the military for so many years, and you would know if there’s a problem with this injury, right? You’re just worried out of your mind!” Sizhe retorted.

Yuanyuan watched the two men bicker, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly~

“Jian, how could you be so careless? Does it hurt a lot?” Yuanyuan asked with concern by the bedside.

“It’s nothing, it won’t hurt as long as I don’t move!”

“You, just a few days ago you were in the hospital, and now? You’ve sprained your ankle again!” Yuanyuan scolded Jian Dan.

“It’s really not my fault, the other side started it!

I genuinely feel like I was born under an unlucky star; trouble just seems to find me wherever I go! If it weren’t for uncle, I probably wouldn’t even know how many times I’d have died by now.”

“Jian Jian~” Chu Liyuan frowned as he looked at Jian Dan.

“Sorry, my mistake!” Jian Dan knew, Uncle must be angry because of her last sentence.

“You’re not allowed to go anywhere these next few days!” Chu Liyuan spoke in an indisputable tone.

“How can that be? I can forgo everything else, but tomorrow is the parents’ meeting for Xiaoxin and Xiaokai, and I’ve already promised them. You can’t lie to children!” Jian Dan said earnestly.

“Didn’t you hear what Sizhe said? You need to rest these next few days!”

“Sizhe, isn’t there any other way?” Jian Dan turned to Sizhe for hope.

“Isn’t it simple? Just use a wheelchair!” Sizhe suggested with a smile.

Sizhe didn’t think before he spoke, and right after he uttered those words, he felt Chu Liyuan’s murderous gaze upon him.

“Well, it looks like there’s nothing left for me to do here, so Yuanyuan and I will be leaving now!” Without getting a response from anyone, he was already pulling Yuanyuan’s hand and disappearing in front of their eyes.

“Was he in a bit too much of a rush?” Jian Dan mused as she looked towards the door. “Uncle, Sizhe just said that, can’t we? Please?” She turned her gaze back to Chu Liyuan, grabbing his arm and shaking it gently.

“All right!” Whenever Jian Jian acted coquettishly towards him, he just couldn’t resist.

Thank goodness he would be with Jian Jian tomorrow; that way, he could be somewhat at ease.

“Really? Uncle, you’re the best!”

“But there is a condition!”

“Ah? There’s a condition? What is it?”

“No more high heels from now on!” Today’s incident wouldn’t have happened if Jian Jian hadn’t worn high heels; with her usual agility, she wouldn’t have hurt her foot like this.

“Just that? No problem, I agree!” Jian Dan said sweetly.

“And tomorrow, you’re not to leave my sight!” Chu Liyuan propped himself with his hands on the bed, leaning in toward Jian Dan and speaking slowly.

“Like this, I wouldn’t dare to! Right?” Jian Dan glanced at her ankle.

“You lass, always full of tricks. It’s better to set some clear rules!” Chu Liyuan gently scraped his forefinger down Jian Dan’s nose…
