After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

As soon as Ning Miao brought the little girl ashore, the little girl's family rushed over, looking panic-stricken.

"Nannan, Nannan, are you okay?"

It was a young woman.

The little girl was so frightened that she threw herself into the woman's arms and cried, "Mom..."

Seeing that the child was fine, the woman thanked them repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you, I turned around to buy something and she fell into the river. Thanks to the benefactor who saved her. Thank you, thank you both."

Seeing the woman talking to her and saying "you two", Ning Miao turned around and saw that Yan Mobai had also come ashore and was standing behind her.

Good.

In this way, the mother and daughter also remembered him.

"You're welcome. It's just a small favor." Ning Miao replied to the woman with a curved lip.

"May I know your names, benefactors?" the woman asked.

Ning Miao would not tell the other party, "It's really just a small favor, my lady, don't worry about it."

This way it seems that they are not saving people for the sake of reward.

Seeing her like this, the woman didn't want to force her. She thanked her again and again and left with the little girl.

The night wind brought over the voice of the woman scolding the little girl.

"Your father asked you to learn how to swim, but you refused to learn. Okay? If no one rescued you today, you would have died, you know that? Go back and learn..."

Ning Miao narrowed his eyes slightly.

In fact, she was not sure at first that the little girl was Ge Mingshu's daughter, until now, she was finally sure.

Who would have thought that the daughter of a man who deals with water all day and owns a large fleet and sailors can't swim.

Yan Changjing, Yuan Ziyan, Chunlan and Ding Yi also rushed over.

"Madam, are you okay?"

Ning Miao shook his head: "It's okay."

Chunlan's eyes were red. "Madam, you scared me to death. There are so many people on the bridge. How come it's not your turn to save them?"

"That's right, there are so many grown men here, what can a weak woman like you do to show off?" Yan Changjing also complained.

Ning Miao said nothing.

Seeing that Ning Miao was soaked, Ding Yi, who was standing by, quietly pulled at Yan Changjing's sleeve, signaling him as a husband to quickly take off his outer robe and give it to his wife.

Yan Changjing did not move, and immediately scolded Chunlan: "Chunlan, how can you be a servant? The master is so wet, and you don't even know to take off your coat and give it to the master?"

Upon hearing this, Chunlan hurried to take it off, but was stopped by Ning Miao.

"No, if you add it outside, it will get wet quickly and won't work. The inn is nearby, I'll go back and change it."

"Huh? Where is my second brother?" Yan Changjing suddenly asked.

Only then did they realize that Yan Mobai had left at some point and Yuan Ziyan was also missing.

Ning Miao pursed her lips, guessing that he must be in a hurry to return to the inn to treat the injury on his shoulder.

-

Yan Mobai pushed open the door of the inn's room and walked in, followed closely by Yuan Ziyan.

Seeing Yan Mobai taking the tinder to light the lamp, Yuan Ziyan reached out to take the tinder, blew it, and lit the lamp on the table in the side room.

"Your Excellency, that was wrong. It would not only aggravate your injuries, but also expose yourself."

Yan Mobai said nothing and sat down at the table.

Yuan Ziyan looked at him.

His whole body was soaked, including his hair, which was still dripping with water. A few strands of wet hair were stuck to his forehead, and his face was pale, which made his handsome face look even more superior and heart-warming.

It is rumored that this man is cold-blooded and heartless, but it seems that the rumors cannot be fully trusted.

She believed that with his wisdom and caution, he could not have been unaware of the consequences of jumping to save someone, but he jumped anyway, just for a little girl he didn't even know.

He clearly had a kind heart, but the world portrayed him as such.

Yuan Ziyan became more and more excited.

Yan Mobai raised his eyes and saw her standing there staring at him, with her handsome eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Go back to your room and rest. I'm going to change my clothes."

Yuan Ziyan came back to her senses: "Oh."

"Let me apply the medicine for you." Yuan Ziyan said.

"Need not."

Seeing him like this, Yuan Ziyan naturally would not force him and nodded: "Call me if you need anything."

"Ah."

After Yuan Ziyan went out, she closed his door.

Yan Mobai untied the brocade belt around his waist, opened his collar, and looked at his right shoulder.

The white cloth bandaging the wound on his right shoulder had been stained red with blood and was soaked with water.

Frowning, he untied the knot of the white cloth and untied it circle by circle.

A bloody wound was revealed, like a child's open mouth.

Because of the soaking in water, the flesh at the edge of the hole turned white, but the blood at the entrance of the hole was still oozing out.

He unscrewed the cap of the medicine bottle and poured the powder on it.

A huge stinging pain came, his eyes were in pain, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He tilted his head back and gasped for a long time before continuing to pour the powder.

-

In another room of the inn, Ning Miao took a hot bath and changed into clean clothes.

Chunlan asked the inn waiter for a bowl of ginger tea and drank it. Only then did she feel much better.

The river water is so cool on spring nights.

She thought of Yan Mobai.

I don't know how his injury is?

At a time like this, if you go to see him and show some concern for his injuries, it will surely win his heart and make him like you more.

But, she didn't know which inn he was staying in.

She had already fallen asleep, but she sat up again.

No, such a good opportunity cannot be wasted.

She decided to try her luck at the inn that Yan Mobai took her to today.

Although she knew the possibility was zero, he couldn't go there alone in the middle of the night, especially when he was injured.

But it doesn't matter. She can tell him tomorrow that she went there at night. The waiter at the inn can testify and it will also win his favor.

Thinking of this, he stood up immediately.

Seeing that Chunlan was already asleep, he didn't disturb her. He put on his clothes and tiptoed out the door.

-

Arriving at the Penglai Inn where they had stayed in the afternoon, she went straight to the second floor to the room they had booked that afternoon.

When she met the waiter at the inn, she specifically asked him to bring a pot of hot tea to the room to deepen the waiter's impression of her visit.

Not surprisingly, the compartment was dark and empty.

She lit the lamp.

The waiter brought over some tea.

She sat alone under the lamp and drank tea leisurely.

Looking at the water clock in the corner of the room, the fine sand was flowing, and time was passing slowly.

Seeing that the time was almost up, she stood up.

She blew out the candle and walked away.

When she opened the door of the wing, she was startled to see a person standing at the door.

Fortunately, although the candle in the room was out, there was still a wind lamp in the corridor, so she saw who it was in time, otherwise, the palm wind would have almost been launched.

It was Yan Mobai.

Ning Miao was surprised: "Why...are you here?"

Yan Mobai said nothing and walked into the room.

As soon as Ning Miao closed the door and turned around, she felt a darkness in front of her eyes. The tall figure of a man approached and trapped her between his chest and the door panel.

She didn't expect him to do this, and her heartbeat inexplicably quickened.

"Are you waiting for me?"

The man's hoarse voice sounded above her forehead, and it was particularly bewitching in the quiet and dark night.

Ning Miao's eyelashes trembled.

"Otherwise? Am I here to sleep in this room?"

"What if I didn't come?" the man asked again.

The hot air he exhaled sprayed on her forehead, carrying his unique scent of grass and orchid, lingering on her breath.
