Ou Yunchen brought Mo Qingyun to their temporary residence. As soon as they entered, Mo Qingyun poured the medicine she had just bought onto the bed.
Ou Yunchen took off his suit jacket, his white shirt underneath already soaked with blood.
Ou Yunchen grabbed Mo Qingyun's hand, urging her to calm down, but Mo Qingyun had never seen anything like this before. She was so terrified that she was trembling, and she fumbled even with the scissors to cut the gauze.
Mo Qingyun helped Ou Yunchen to sit down.
She had Ou Yunchen lean against the headboard and quickly unbuttoned his shirt...
The wound was still bleeding, but Ou Yunchen only glanced at it.
Being injured and bleeding was nothing. He had experienced worse, even broken bones, as an adopted son.
Under Ou Yunchen's guidance, Mo Qingyun carefully treated the wound. Yet, even after the bandages were wrapped, Ou Yunchen didn't utter a word of pain.
Ou Yunchen patted the spot next to him, wanting Mo Qingyun to sit on the bed with him.
Mo Qingyun moved past Ou Yunchen and obediently sat beside him. They leaned against the headboard, until Ou Yunchen forcefully rested Mo Qingyun's head on his shoulder.
Ou Yunchen: "How did you end up at the ball?"
Mo Qingyun lowered her head, afraid to meet Ou Yunchen's eyes, and even more hesitant to answer casually. This had become the first secret between them.
Ou Yunchen: "You won't tell me?"
Mo Qingyun nervously rubbed her hands together, but the assertive Ou Yunchen would not allow his woman to remain silent.
He placed his hand in Mo Qingyun's palm, then held her hand and said earnestly, "Can we not have secrets between us?"
"We clearly agreed back home that you would wait for me to return, but you appeared at the ball, and you still refuse to tell me why. This makes me very unhappy," Ou Yunchen's tone became a little firmer.
Mo Qingyun pursed her lips. She remembered what Xie Youlin had told her: not to mention to anyone how she got the invitation to the ball.
However, faced with Ou Yunchen's inquiry, she wavered.
Ou Yunchen: "Are you looking for your brother?"
Mo Qingyun suddenly looked up. She knew she couldn't hide anything from this man.
Ou Yunchen sighed softly. Although he was already very scared, he still had to pretend to be understanding.
Ou Yunchen: "You can rely on me too. I am your boyfriend. I want to take care of you, not just in the little things of daily life. If you're willing, I also want to help you find your brother."
It was then that Mo Qingyun realized how much her boyfriend cared about her. This confession felt like her lonely soul had found a haven.
Mo Qingyun's hand gestures: "Xie Youlin helped me. He said that Tang here might know something about my mother."
Ou Yunchen's heart trembled violently. Damn Xie Youlin, he could actually find Tang!!!
Ou Yunchen: "Did you meet Tang?"
Mo Qingyun's hand gestures: "No, Xie Youlin said Michelle is Tang's agent, and she's Tang's wife. I wanted to show her a photo..."
Ou Yunchen: "What did she say?"
Mo Qingyun's hand gestures: "The photo was lost. Before I could show her what I wanted to ask, she seemed to encounter something urgent and left."
Only then did Ou Yunchen breathe a sigh of relief. It was too close a call. If Mo Qingyun had shown the photo to Michelle, she would have recognized Axe's appearance in an instant!!!
Ou Yunchen silently repeated "thank goodness" in his mind...
Ou Yunchen pulled Mo Qingyun's head closer and gently kissed her forehead. That photo was lost at such a timely moment. Now there was no longer any evidence to prove that her brother was Axe!!!
Mo Qingyun's hand gestures: "Then what happened to your shoulder?"
Ou Yunchen: "I met with a client at the hotel, but the negotiation wasn't going well, and the client stabbed me."
Mo Qingyun's eyes widened. It sounded like a terrible excuse, but it was at least what Ou Yunchen said. She had never doubted him and naturally believed him.
Mo Qingyun's hand gestures: "Why didn't you call the police?"
Ou Yunchen: "Because after I was injured, the client felt very guilty and agreed to my proposal. If getting injured could secure a deal worth hundreds of millions, it was worth it."
Mo Qingyun gently touched the wound she had bandaged again. This was the first time she felt that Ou Yunchen could endure any grievance for the sake of doing business.
