Chapter 276: Chapter 249 You Help Me
Qiao Yuxian was in the car, pressing on the spot where she was kissed too hard.
When Shang Chen had dealt with the matters at the hotel and came to open the car door, Qiao Yuxian glanced at him lightly.
It was unclear whether she recognized who he was, just a faint glance, then she withdrew her gaze.
She sat there, quiet and obedient, sticking close to Gu Yanjing without knowing where to look with her dazed eyes.
Her face was so red it seemed like it might bleed.
Shang Chen didn’t dare look at her much either, quickly taking a hurried glance before sitting in the driver’s seat.
But he still clearly saw the water droplets hanging on her eyelashes and the moisture soaking in her eyes.
She looked exactly like someone who had just cried.
If he didn’t know that Mr. Gu from his family certainly wasn’t someone who would commit domestic violence, he would have thought Qiao Yuxian had just been beaten.
"Is everything handled?" Gu Yanjing asked while holding Qiao Yuxian’s hand.
The commotion tonight wasn’t small.
Although they tried their best to keep the fight contained to the floor where Feng Chuanbai was, it still garnered a lot of attention.
Many things were lost on that hotel floor as well.
The police were alerted, too.
They arrested Feng Chuanbai, and there are still many issues to deal with afterward.
"More or less," Shang Chen said, "Wan Ying stayed behind, allowing me to take you and the madam home first."
"Okay."
Gu Yanjing answered, and Shang Chen fastened his seatbelt, started the car, and after a while said, "Liu Zhou took Feng Chuanbai away first."
When hearing the familiar name, Qiao Yuxian didn’t react.
Gu Yanjing glanced at her and said, "Hmm."
Shang Chen didn’t speak again, quietly driving the car.
Gu Yanjing tilted his head to look at Qiao Yuxian, seeing her staring intently at one spot without moving, he touched her overheated face.
Qiao Yuxian’s face was too hot, feeling the cool touch, she turned her head and looked at him.
"Uncomfortable?" Gu Yanjing asked.
Qiao Yuxian blinked her eyes, then slowly shook her head, and said a word: "Sleepy."
"Want to sleep for a while?" Gu Yanjing asked.
"Hmm." Qiao Yuxian nodded, but after nodding, she still looked at him without moving.
As if she didn’t know how to sleep.
Gu Yanjing waited for a while, seeing she made no move, he raised his hand to touch her head, then gently helped her to lean on his shoulder.
Once leaning on his shoulder, Qiao Yuxian seemed to finally realize, she moved a bit to find a comfortable position, then put her hand in Gu Yanjing’s hand and closed her eyes to sleep.
Gu Yanjing tilted his head to look at her hanging eyelashes, shortly, he smiled lightly, and stroked her face again, holding her hand all the way.
Qiao Yuxian also obediently slept the whole journey.
Halfway through, not leaning too steadily, Gu Yanjing’s hand held her face all the time.
Arriving at Fenglin Villa, Gu Yanjing directly carried her back to the villa.
While carrying her, she still opened her eyes and woke up for a moment, and upon seeing it was Gu Yanjing, she slept again.
Carrying her back to the room, helping her take off her shoes and coat, letting her lie comfortably on the bed.
Gu Yanjing kissed her brow and then went to the living room to get the medical kit.
When he returned, Qiao Yuxian was sitting on the bed, her expression blurry yet fiercely staring at the doorway.
Gu Yanjing looked at her small expression, approached her, and touched her face: "Why are you awake?"
Qiao Yuxian looked up at him, paused, and said, "You weren’t here."
Gu Yanjing placed the medical kit on the bedside table, bent down and kissed her eyes, then took a nearby chair to sit by the bed, looking at her and saying, "Went to get the medical kit."
Qiao Yuxian’s reactions were much slower than usual, she looked at the medical kit, then looked at Gu Yanjing and asked, "What for?"
Gu Yanjing didn’t speak, he took her hand and turned it over to let her see the scrapes and reddened swelling on the back of her hand.
Qiao Yuxian lowered her eyes to look at her hand, after a while, she said, "It’s nothing, it doesn’t hurt, no need to apply anything. It’ll heal by itself."
Gu Yanjing still didn’t speak, he opened the medical kit, gently disinfecting her wounds with a cotton swab.
Qiao Yuxian watched him disinfecting, seemingly feeling no pain, she didn’t move, nor did she react otherwise.
Gu Yanjing remained silent as he disinfected for her, the less she reacted, the gentler his movements became.
He didn’t know what she had been through.
He didn’t know how she had honed her skills so well.
He didn’t know how such a young girl managed to make it step by step.
"Doesn’t hurt," Qiao Yuxian sensed Gu Yanjing’s emotions and said softly again.
"Hmm." Gu Yanjing responded, his movements still very careful.
Qiao Yuxian watched him slowly disinfect, then slowly apply medicine, and after finishing, he gently blew on it.
The coolness swept over the back of her hand, and Qiao Yuxian suddenly giggled a bit.
Gu Yanjing looked up at her,
Meeting his gaze, Qiao Yuxian giggled again.
Gu Yanjing lightly flicked her forehead: "Anywhere else?"
"No more." Qiao Yuxian said, rolling up her sleeves, revealing the redness and swelling on her forearm.
Gu Yanjing looked at the swelling on both her arms, hearing her assertively say "No more."
Gu Yanjing looked at her.
Qiao Yuxian met his gaze and said, "No more."
"Hmm. No more." Gu Yanjing agreed with her.
"Hmm." Qiao Yuxian nodded heavily.
Gu Yanjing took a cotton swab, ready to continue disinfecting and applying medicine on her arm, but Qiao Yuxian’s hand pressed on his hand: "I’m sleepy."
"Lie down," Gu Yanjing said.
"I haven’t showered yet," Qiao Yuxian’s voice was soft.
Gu Yanjing looked at her for a while, a bit worried about her drunk appearance, and said, "Can you shower by yourself?"
"Can’t." Qiao Yuxian responded very bluntly.
"Sleep first. Shower after waking up," Gu Yanjing said.
"No," Qiao Yuxian stared at him, pouting, and said word by word, "You shower, you help me."
The cotton swab between Gu Yanjing’s fingers suddenly snapped, and he seemed to freeze for a moment.
Seeing him not move, Qiao Yuxian’s foot tapped his leg: "Shower."
Gu Yanjing’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, he lowered his gaze to her foot, looking at her slender ankle, he could easily encircle it with just one hand.
As he looked, his usually cool eyes seemed to heat up, his hand involuntarily moved.
At this moment, Qiao Yuxian suddenly said: "Gu Yanjing."
Gu Yanjing snapped back, his fingers clenching, he looked up at her.
There was still a deep lustful color in his eyes that hadn’t faded, his voice was a bit hoarse: "Hmm?"
"Kiss me," Qiao Yuxian said blankly.
The always composed Gu Yanjing paused slightly, seemingly not quite understanding what she meant.
"Just like, like in the car..." Qiao Yuxian said slowly, "Just like that, kiss me."
"Kiss you?" Gu Yanjing asked.
"No." Qiao Yuxian shook her head, the fringe on her forehead swayed with it, "Many kisses."
"Not crying anymore?" Gu Yanjing said.
"Didn’t cry," Qiao Yuxian said seriously, "Won’t cry."
Gu Yanjing smiled lightly.
Qiao Yuxian pointed at her own lips.
Gu Yanjing exhaled gently, discussing with a little drunk with great patience: "Kiss then sleep, no shower."
He knew very well he didn’t have much self-control with her.
Bathing, indeed, was beyond him.
Besides, she was still drunk, not clear-headed, and at such times, it wouldn’t be right to take advantage of her.
"Okay!"
Qiao Yuxian was very satisfied with this decision, nodding her head in strong agreement.
Gu Yanjing smiled lightly again, reached out to pull her into his lap, and kissed her gently.
Qiao Yuxian initially wanted to say this posture was different from in the car, but submerged in his tenderness, she soon forgot everything else.
