Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Su Qianxun returned to Jin Garden, Long Sijue was sitting in the living room and watching finance-related news. He switched the television off when he saw her walk in, and he fixed his gaze on her.
The young woman was nervous, but on her journey back, she had already inspected herself carefully, and she knew that it would be hard for anyone to tell that she was injured. She walked into the living room and said, “Young master.”
The injury on Su Qianxun’s tongue was quite serious, and talking was almost like a punishment to her. She still had to make herself sound as normal as possible, and that was even more painful.
Long Sijue stared at her and reached his hands out “Come over!”
Su Qianxun walked to his side, and Long Sijue pulled her onto his lap. The young woman immediately smiled at him and rested herself in his embrace. She then took the initiative to wrap her arms around his waist.
Long Sijue was very satisfied with her reaction. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
The butler came over and said that the dinner was ready. Long Sijue then pulled Su Qianxun along into the dining hall.
Su Qianxun remained by his side and secretly let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, he did not realize that anything was off. Did that mean she was safe?
The dinner was very sumptuous, and it was still mainly vegetarian with only a few meat dishes. The kitchen specially made pigeon soup that night.
Su Qianxun took the initiative to serve Long Sijue a bowl of soup and some vegetables. She then lowered her head and started to eat slowly.
The table full of delicious food was a burden to Su Qianxun right then. The wound on her tongue was seriously in pain, and it was already hard for her to speak, let alone eat. The pain almost killed her.
However, due to the fear that Long Sijue might find out that something was wrong, she took some cold dishes and ate them slowly. If she ate something hot, it could kill her.
But…
Long Sijue personally served her a bowl of pigeon soup. He placed it before her and said, “Drink it.”
Su Qianxun looked up and said to him, “Thank you.”
She brought the soup before her and stirred it gently before she slowly took a sip. When the hot soup came into contact with her wound, Su Qianxun almost teared up from the pain. She immediately placed the spoon down and said, “It’s hot… I’ll let it cool for a while.”
After she said that, she served Long Sijue more dishes as if she was pleasing him.
Long Sijue looked at her for a while but did not say anything. Su Qianxun waited until the soup was completely cold before she drank it all at once.
For the first time in her life, eating was such a painful task. It was no better than being whipped.
After dinner, Su Qianxun immediately fled to her bedroom. She went into the bathroom to take a shower and walked up to the mirror, sticking her tongue out to take a look. She was shocked at the sight. The right side of the tip of her tongue had a very deep wound. No wonder it hurt a lot.
Su Qianxun could not really stand the pain anymore, so she took out the medicinal spray given by the doctor and sprayed it on her wound. The analgesic effect of the medication was really good, and much of her pain was relieved after she sprayed the medication.
There was the sound of the door being opened from the outside, and Su Qianxun immediately opened the cupboard and hid the medication. When she walked out, Long Sijue had just taken off his clothes. The young woman looked at the toned lines of his body as her small face blushed instantaneously. She lowered her head while she walked toward the bed and prepared to go to sleep.
Just as she passed by Long Sijue, he suddenly pulled her over and hugged her. He lowered his head and kissed her petite mouth.
Su Qianxun was startled and subconsciously closed her mouth tightly. Long Sijue did not manage to insert his tongue into her mouth. He furrowed his eyebrows slightly as he grabbed the back of her head and forcefully pried her mouth open…
