The door opened with a beeping sound .

While supporting the man, Ji Nuan raised her hand to flip the switch for the lights .
“Quickly, sit down first . I'll help you to disinfect your wound . ”
Mr . Vinse scanned the place he had entered . The living room came into view first, and unlike the way she described it, it was neat and tidy . The condo had around two hundred square meters of space, and only the living room was spacious . The decor was simple and uncluttered . The space also carried the unique cool fragrance of a woman; it strangely led him not to want to leave .
“Sit there first . I'll go bring the first aid kit . ” Ji Nuan pointed at the couch .
“I'm fine, actually . A fruit knife isn't that sharp, and it only caused a small, surface wound . If the cut were deep, I would have already been on my way to the hospital . ” Mr . Vinse took a glance at her couch . It was decorated with two plump cushions . The cushions had a gradient blue color and resembled the sky . The white fabric of the couch was clean, as though it was new . He took a seat and watched the woman who had rushed over to look for a first aid kit .
Ji Nuan brought the first aid kit . She opened it and brought out some simple medicine, bandages, and band-aids, saying: “Even if you don't need to visit the hospital, he slashed you with the fruit knife with quite some force . Although it isn't deep, it isn't a light wound . Do you know how much you bled earlier in the elevator?”

She turned away to fetch a pail of water and searched through her drawers for a fresh towel . She then sat by his side and rolled up his already torn sleeves, wiping the blood around the wound carefully .
Seeing Ji Nuan's gentle yet serious actions, Mr . Vinse kept staring at her face . After the little woman meticulously cleaned the blood, she dipped the bandage in some alcohol to disinfect around the area . She then used a fresh bandage to clean the wound itself .
When the medical alcohol touched his wound, Ji Nuan was worried that the pain would be too much . She carefully blew on his wound and turned to ask him, “Does it hurt? Tolerate it for a little . ”
Mr . Vinse watched her expression . “It doesn't hurt . ”
Seeing the man's gaze, Ji Nuan shifted her eyes away . She did not say more . After cleaning the wound, she applied medicine to the area before wrapping it up with bandages . The moment she was done, she immediately stood up to put the first aid kit away .
Her actions were quick and well-practiced . Although she was now different from the Ji Nuan of three years ago, right from the beginning, she was never quite like the other young ladies in their early twenties .
She had a unique, implicit charm . It was also what made her enchanting and special in a way that was difficult to put into words .

After packing everything away, Ji Nuan searched through her bedroom . At last, she stepped out empty-handed .
“I'm sorry, I don't have any clothes suitable for you to change into . Since you can't take off that shirt, you should head home with your sleeves rolled up . ”
Mr . Vinse lowered his gaze to watch the neatly wrapped bandage around his arm . “I don't think you've mentioned studying medicine before . Why are you so good with wounds and wrapping bandages?”
“'A long illness makes the patient into a doctor . ' When I was young, I always suffered from all sorts of problems . A while ago, I even scratched my arms and legs at a birthday party . I always needed bandages and, after watching others do it for me, I learned to do it myself . ” While speaking, Ji Nuan raised her leg to see that they were covered by her jeans . “Didn't you notice that I'm wearing long sleeves despite the hot weather? The wounds have yet to disappear fully . The red and green patches are too eye-catching, so I decided to cover them . ”
Mr . Vinse looked at her clothes with understanding . He then noticed that her snow-white sleeves were stained with his blood . He pointed at it . “My apologies, I dirtied your clothes . ”
Ji Nuan lowered her eyes to glance at it before smiling . “It's fine . I'll wash it away if I can . Otherwise, I'll toss it away . Anyway, I have a lot of clothes . There are still two whole boxes of clothes I left in Hai City from three years ago . Losing one or two pieces doesn't matter . More importantly, don't use your own arm to block when you face this sort of situation in the future . Thankfully that was only a fruit knife . If it had been an ax, you would have lost a whole arm . How could I possibly take responsibility for that?”

“I didn't lose and arm, but I still lost some blood . ” Mr . Vinse appeared to be half-joking and half-serious as he said, “Can this small wound be exchanged for several days of your care?”
“To repay this favor, I brought you home and even cleaned and bandaged your wounds . I've already repaid everything I need to . Don't expect me to take any further responsibility for you . ” Ji Nuan gave him a shrewd smile .
Mr . Vinse raised his brows .
This woman was truly difficult to tease . He had thought he would be able to reap some benefits from his wound, but in a blink of an eye, she no longer owed him anything .
Mr . Vinse sighed with a smile . “Forget it . I'm happy to lose to you . ”
He paused before surveying his surroundings once more . “After knowing you for so long, this is the first time I've had the opportunity to sit in your home . It is indeed a very good repayment for me . Don't mention a fruit knife, even if I had really lost an arm, I would still be happy . ”
“You are already in your thirties . Can you not speak like a teenager who doesn't know right from wrong? Even if you had really lost an arm, I wouldn't take responsibility for it . So, there's no need to stick out for me in the future . I know some self-defense . That sort of drunk, mad man can't do anything to me . ” Ji Nuan twisted her own fist and wrist . “Haven't you met Feng Ling when you were in England? She taught me some skills . I'm quite capable . ”
“When I saw that man grab you and almost pull you into his arms, I became flustered and charged forward . It seems like I made a mistake in not letting you show off your abilities . ” Mr . Vinse raised his brows .
Ji Nuan coughed . “Forget it, it's all in the past . Since your wound isn't serious and has already been bandaged, how are you heading home? You won't be able to drive, will you? I'll send you home? Or should I call your secretary to come to pick you up?”
Mr . Vinse attempted to shift his arm . “I'm fine . I'll drive myself home . ”
Ji Nuan did not say more . The tactful actions to remind the guest to leave had already been made . The two of them were not children, and it wasn't suitable for a man to stay in her home for too long . He naturally understood this .
Mr . Vinse took another glance at her living room when he stood up . “Although this residential area isn't bad, it's still a very old condo . I saw that the streetlights downstairs were barely working . The security isn't very good either . Even a drunk man was able to get in . I heard that there are often power shortages here . Do you really not plan on moving out? I won't be able to set my heart at ease if you stay here any longer . I have a few condos in the western city district . You can feel free to move in . Isn't it more convenient to stay in a condo close to your office?”
