Chapter 152: Her Only Home, Too, was Gone
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Before Long Sijue had the chance to fly into a rage, he heard his bodyguard screaming outside the house. “Young master, the apartment is on fire!”
Su Qianxun was barely conscious after the passionate s*x they just had. When she heard that the apartment was on fire, she widened her eyes abruptly. “What’s happening?”
Long Sijue did not answer. He, too, did not know what was going on out there. He took an old towel from a rack in the bathroom, quickly wrapped it around the young woman and immediately opened the door. But the moment he stepped out of the bathroom, he was nearly engulfed by the flames.
Long Sijue quickly shut the bathroom door. He did not expect the fire to be this intense.
Su Qianxun finally realized that they were in grave danger. She looked at the man before her. “What should we do now?”
“I know what to do.” Long Sijue turned on the shower, wet the towel and wrapped it around the young woman. He then took a face towel, quickly dampened it and handed it to her. “Cover your mouth!”
“What about you?”
He had given her the towel and left himself with nothing. Worse still, he was naked!
Long Sijue did not answer her question. He merely told her to lie still in his arms before opening the door and dashing out of the bathroom!
A wave of scorching heat instantly engulfed Su Qianxun. She could only lie in Long Sijue’s arms and cup her mouth and nose tightly with her hands.
After Long Sijue left the bathroom, he quickly dashed towards the door despite the raging fire around them…
A few minutes later, Su Qianxun watched her burning apartment from the car. Her eyes were bloodshot. When Long Sijie saw the look of despair on the young woman’s face, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The fire was finally extinguished after around twenty minutes. Long Sijue instructed the driver to take them back to Jin Garden.
Su Qianxun was sitting beside him in silence. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she held them back.
Her only home, too, was gone!
Su Qianxun refused to believe that it was an accident. Even though all the electrical appliances in the kitchen were quite old, she checked the appliances regularly and made sure that they would not threaten her and her younger brother’s safety. Therefore, this fire was certainly not an accident.
If Long Sijue had not come to see her today, she would have definitely have died in the fire.
Su Qianxun was absolutely certain that this was Su Manni’s idea. ‘What a heinous woman!’
Once they were back in Jin Garden, Su Qianxun went to the butler and told him that Long Sijue was suffering from burn injuries. She instructed him to get him some ointment for his wounds.
Even though that man was despicable, she could not deny the fact that he had saved her from the fire today.
As Su Qianxun walked past the study room, she felt very uneasy. She could not forget the way Long Sijue had told her to “get the h*ll out” of there that day. Aside from this, Long Sijue had also forbade her from entering the study room ever again.
When she turned around the corner, Su Qianxun almost ran into someone. She raised her head to look at the man in front of her and took a few steps back. “Ye Gu, thank you for saving me the other day.”
“You don’t have to thank me. It is my duty to do so,” Ye Gu said as he gazed at her.
When Su Qianxun noticed that he kept staring at her, she raised her hand to wipe her face. “Is there anything on my face?”
“The man who tried to force himself upon you the other day is already dead.”
Su Qianxun’s hand froze. Astonished, she raised her head and looked at Ye Gu. “Dead? Wasn’t he… Long Sijue’s friend?”
“He wasn’t!”
After Ye Gu finished speaking, he sidestepped her and was about to leave. Su Qianxun quickly called after him. “Wait a minute. Do you mean that Long Sijue didn’t give me away to that man?”
“The young master wouldn’t do that,” Ye Gu explained briefly.
Once Su Qianxun heard that, she breathed a loud sigh of relief. She felt so much better knowing that Long Sijue was not passing her around like a plaything.
When the butler arrived with Doctor Zhang to treat Long Sijue’s burns, Long Sijue ordered them to get lost immediately.
Once the butler explained that Su Qianxun was the one who asked him to send some ointment over, Long Sijue furrowed his eyebrows and simply let Doctor Zhang apply the ointment onto his scalded arm without uttering a word.
