Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Qianxun took the tube of ointment and applied a layer of it onto the back of Long Sijue’s hand, which she had just finished cleaning. She then grabbed his other hand and placed it on her lap. This time, the young woman was even gentler. She also blew on his wound more frequently, hoping to reduce his pain.
When she saw that the wound on his right hand was even more serious than the one on his left hand, the young woman could not help furrowing her eyebrows. She really did not know how he managed to get himself injured like this. As she washed the wound, she could feel the pain even though she was not the one injured.
Su Qianxun was finally done cleaning and applying ointment to the wounds. Su Qianxun breathed a sigh of relief as she gazed at Long Sijue’s hands, which looked much better now.
Su Qianxun then took his hands and gently blew on them before raising her head.
She was about to ask him if he felt any better when Long Sijue suddenly picked her up and placed her on his lap. Before the young woman could react, Long Sijue had already cradled the back of her head in his large hand. Unable to hold himself back, he pressed his lips to hers. As their lips touched, the young woman’s lips parted slightly. She did not move, and merely blinked as she looked at Long Sijue.
Long Sijue bit her lower lip, and his breathing became heavier and heavier. His whole being was filled with excitement.
At first, Su Qianxun did not react much. But when faced with his ravaging passion, the young woman started blushing. She felt extremely uneasy.
Long Sijue was reluctant to pull away from the kiss. As he gazed at the adorable and shy expression on the little thing’s face, he really wanted to melt her body into his.
But…
The image of Li Junye pressing Su Qianxun beneath his body appeared in his mind again, and his expression became a lot colder.
Su Qianxun blinked as she gazed at him with her watery, black eyes. “Young master, your wounds are still exposed. Do you want me to bandage them up?”
“There’s no need!” Long Sijue released his grip on her, and his black eyes turned chilly.
Su Qianxun could obviously sense his annoyance. It was as if he was rather sick of her. The young woman was smart enough to crawl away from his lap and sit in the seat beside his.
Long Sijue started working. Even though Su Qianxun wanted to ask him about her renovated house, she did not disturb him when she saw that he was immersed in his work.
Long Sijue glanced at the little thing who was being so quiet that it was almost as if she was not there. For some reason, he felt agitated. He tapped the space bar hard and suddenly turned to look at her.
Su Qianxun was shocked by his sudden gesture. She did not know what he was up to this time. She looked at him nervously with her eyes wide, but Long Sijue merely stared at her without saying a thing.
Su Qianxun gulped and asked, “Young master, is something the matter?”
Long Sijue did not answer her question. He turned away from her and continued working. Su Qianxun was baffled. When she saw that he no longer seemed like he was in the mood to work, she continued, “By the way… were you the one who got my house renovated?”
Long Sijue was feeling agitated. He slammed the cover of his laptop down, took out a cigarette and lit it. He started smoking slowly.
Su Qianxun knew that by not answering her question, Long Sijue had just admitted that he was the one who had gotten the house renovated. She asked, “How much did you spend on the renovation? Erm… there’s also the house next to mine. What’s the total cost? When I have the money, I’ll pay you back.”
When Long Sijue heard what she said, he got even more annoyed. ‘Does this little thing hate owing me a favor this much? She wants to cut ties with me after she gives birth to my child, doesn’t she?’
“Are you sure that you would be able to afford it?”
“I don’t have that much money right now, but I’ll come up with a way to pay you back. Just tell me how much it costs.”
Su Qianxun insisted upon paying because that was the only house she and her younger brother had, and she wanted to protect it at all costs. That was the only thought in her mind.
“Is seducing another man what you have come up with!?” Long Sijue said scornfully.
