Love You for the Rest of My Life-Chapter 1497: This Time, It’s My Turn to Protect You

Di Jinxuan furrowed her brows but spoke bluntly, "Jin needs rest; he may require a nutrition injection."

Overworked?

Dr. Zhang blinked and immediately replied, "Yes, Young Madam, I’ll come over right away."

After hanging up, Di Jinxuan made brief phone calls to Fang Hao and Li Hui to assure them all was well.

Being engaged, the parents wouldn’t ask too many questions as long as the couple was together, so the calls were straightforward and short.

Once she handled those tasks, Di Jinxuan took a bath in the bathroom, tidied herself up, and stepped out.

Xiaowu called to inform her the clothes were ready. Di Jinxuan instructed Xiaowu to leave them at the door and wait for her in the main hall.

By then, Nangong Jin was still deep in slumber. Di Jinxuan had no intention of waking him. Only after confirming it was genuinely a deep sleep did she feel somewhat relieved.

She took the bag of clothes Xiaowu had left at the door, changed into them, leaned down to plant a soft kiss on Nangong Jin’s face, and smiled faintly. "Brother Jin, don’t worry. This time, it’s my turn to protect you."

With those words, she stepped out, only to encounter Dr. Zhang at the door.

"Young Madam," Dr. Zhang greeted respectfully with a bow.

"Mm," Di Jinxuan responded. "Go on in and take a look." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Understood." Dr. Zhang wasted no time and stepped inside.

After checking Nangong Jin’s condition, Dr. Zhang said, "Young Madam, you can rest assured. Jin is simply in a deep sleep."

While speaking, Dr. Zhang couldn’t help but wonder just how exhausted one must be to fall into such a state.

"Mm." Di Jinxuan nodded. "Does he need a nutrition injection?"

"Yes," Dr. Zhang also nodded. "Young Madam, there’s no need to worry too much. Deep sleep is the body’s best self-repair mechanism. I’ll administer the nutrition injection, and he’ll be perfectly fine when he wakes up."

"That’s good." Hearing Dr. Zhang’s reassurance, Di Jinxuan let out a sigh of relief.

"Then take care of him. I need to handle a few matters," Di Jinxuan instructed Dr. Zhang.

"Of course, Young Madam." Dr. Zhang nodded promptly. "You go ahead; I’ll watch over him."

"Good." Without lingering for even a second, Di Jinxuan turned and left the room.

Watching her decisive retreating figure, Dr. Zhang couldn’t help but marvel. Di Jinxuan was truly sharp and efficient, nothing like a typical twenty-year-old—calm and methodical in every way.

One couldn’t help but wonder what had happened.

However, Dr. Zhang’s instincts were sharp. He quickly noticed an unusual atmosphere lingering in the room.

hours of intimacy would undoubtedly leave traces of lingering affection; that much was certain.

After Di Jinxuan left, Dr. Zhang lifted the blanket to check and, sure enough, found Nangong Jin completely, utterly bare.

A realization dawned upon him.

But he wasn’t naive enough to think they’d ended up like this purely due to indulgence. Something must have happened—Di Jinxuan’s expression earlier had been heavy with concern.

Nonetheless, Dr. Zhang was well-trained. If the masters didn’t speak of it, he naturally wouldn’t ask.

Di Jinxuan quickly made her way downstairs. Xiaowu was already waiting. He stood up hastily upon seeing her descending and respectfully greeted, "Sister-in-law."

Di Jinxuan nodded and directly asked, "Xiaowu, how much do you know about this matter?"

"Everything," Xiaowu nodded. "Sister-in-law, I’m fully aware of the details."

With that, Xiaowu swiftly retold the incident concisely, including how Old Miao threatened Nangong Jin, how Nangong Jin dealt with it, and everything he knew up to now.
