  Qin Xinying thanked Xiao Jing and left with him. On the way, people kept exclaiming and looking at her enviously. Qin Xinying smiled and followed Xiao Jing into the elevator. Xiao Jing looked at Qin Xinying using the mirror of the elevator. “How did you get injured, Miss Qin?”


  Qin Xinying smiled and said in embarrassment. “When I climbed out of the bathtub, I slipped and fell over because my feet were wet. It’s really embarrassing.”


  Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows. “Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. It will be the first time that our company attends the Fashion Week, so we really cherish this chance. And you’re one of the best designers in China, so I thought this Fashion Week would be a great stage for you. Unfortunately, you suddenly got injured.”


  Qin Xinying smiled and sighed. “Yes, but no one is to blame. I’m just being unlucky.” She then looked up at Xiao Jing, saying, “But it’s alright. I can still attend the Summer Fashion Week, even though I can’t attend the Winter one. I’ll stand on the international stage one day.”


  Xiao Jing smiled. When the elevator’s doors opened, Xiao Jing took the lead to walk out of the elevator. “I have my car ready. Let’s go to Lin’an Hospital which belongs to my family. I can accompany you to get an X-ray, and then we can get the results sooner. The medical facilities there are good. You can rest assured.”


  Qin Xinying frowned, looked at Xiao Jing and forced a smile. “Are you going to accompany me to take the X-ray, President Xiao?”


  “Sure. You’re an important employee of ours. We should take it seriously. Let’s go.” Xiao Jing beckoned Qin Xinying to continue walking with a smile.

  Qin Xinying paused and pursed her lips. “I need to use the toilet. Can you wait for me for a while, President Xiao?”


  Xiao Jing looked at Qin Xinying. His eyes had a gleam of sarcasm but it was immediately gone. He nodded. “Okay, go ahead. I’m waiting for you in the car.” With that, he turned to walk outside.

  Qin Xinying ran to the toilet, raised her hand that was in plaster and looked at it. She hesitated but soon narrowed her eyes and hit her hand hard against the wash basin. It hurt so greatly that she burst into tears. She could even hear the sounds of her bones breaking. She gritted her teeth, stared at herself that was out in a cold sweat in the mirror and said in a low voice, “Qin Xinying, you can’t let him find out! Hold on no matter how much it hurts!” Then she took that limp hand and hit it hard against the wash basin again. The pain was excruciating and she almost fainted. Just then, someone came in, and Qin Xinying hurriedly entered a stall and sat down on the toilet seat.

  It had been five minutes before Qin Xinying wiped off the cold sweat on her face and stood up.

  Xiao Jing who was sitting in the car watched Qin Xinying walk over feebly, narrowed his eyes, gave a cold smile and sneered. “This woman is so cruel even to herself! No wonder she would do those things to Xixi.”


  He knew this woman was not injured at all when he first saw her. That was why he said that to her. No one would be allowed to stay in the X-ray room except the doctor and the patient himself. He didn’t expect this woman would believe his words, run to the toilet and break her own hand! He really wondered how she could do this to herself. How did she manage to break her own hand?

  Qin Xinying opened the car door and got in. She smiled gently at Xiao Jing. “Sorry to have kept you waiting, President Xiao.”


  Xiao Jing shook his head and started the engine. “It’s alright.” Then he took a worried look at Qin Xinying. “Miss Qin, you look terrible. Is anything wrong with you?”


  Qin Xinying stared at Xiao Jing and wished she could rip his face off, but she knew she couldn’t, so she pursed her lips and smiled. “I’m fine. I accidentally touched my injured hand just now,so it hurt a little. Thank you for your concern, President Xiao.”


  Xiao Jing smiled, looked ahead and drove the car carefully. “It’s what I should do. If you feel uncomfortable, you can take a nap. I’ll awake you when we reach the hospital.”


  “That’s okay.” Qin Xinying forced a smile. Her hand was hurting terribly. How could she fall asleep?! She just wanted to take a painkiller now and didn’t want to sleep at all!

  Xiao Jing purposely made a detour around the city and they were stuck in the most congested overpass of the city for almost an hour. If he hadn’t kept looking at his watch and cursing, Qin Xinying wouldn’t have doubted if he was purposely torturing her. Xiao Jing looked at Qin Xinying who was in a cold sweat, and apologized, “I’m sorry. I didn’t expect the road to be so congested.”


  Qin Xinying shook her head and tried her best to control herself. “It’s alright. The road should be clear soon.”


  It was noon when they reached the hospital. Xiao Jing had called the hospital, so there were already doctors waiting at the gate of the hospital. Xiao Jing got out of the car and said. “Her hand was injured. Come on, check her hand and don’t delay the treatment!”


  Qin Xinying’s hand hurt so much that she was not in the mood to thank Xiao Jing. She followed a doctor into the hospital. Xiao Jing nodded at the head doctor of Orthopedic Surgery Department who followed them in. Half an hour later, the head doctor reported to Xiao Jing about Qin Xinying’s injury.

  Listening to his reporting, Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows and muttered. “What a cruel woman.”


  The head doctor said, “If you had sent her here a little later, her hand might be disabled.”


  Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows. He actually wanted to see that happen, but he couldn’t just ruin a person’s life like that, so he still sent her to the hospital just in time.

  He asked, “Are you going to operate on her now?”


  The head doctor nodded. “Yes, she needs to stay in the hospital for a week, or else her hand won’t be able to recover.”


  Xiao Jing shrugged. “Okay, no problem. She’ll pay the hospitalization expenses herself. I gotta go. Bye!”


  “Mr. Xiao!” The head doctor called out to him in shock. Xiao Jing looked back at him. “Anything else?”


  “You are leaving just like this?” The head doctor asked in surprise.

  Xiao Jing shrugged. “Of course. Don’t tell me you expect me to pay for her! I took her here just to make sure whether she was really injured. Now I’m sure she was injured, so I’m leaving. Do you have any problem with this?”


  “Of course not. I’m going to make the rounds of the wards. See you, Mr. Xiao” The head doctor stood up and left.
