Chapter 184: Xu Qing Awakens
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Zhuo Wuyou sat at the head of the bed in a daze and stared at the sleeping Xu Qing. Actually, in terms of appearance, Xu Qing was definitely not that beautiful. She was only average. As the girl-next-door type from a humble family, she wasn’t stunning, but in his heart, no one could compare to her!
Zhuo Wuyou’s throat bobbed slightly, and his hands couldn’t help but touch the lips he had yearned for a long time. Her lips were even softer than he had imagined. He couldn’t help but lean down and kiss… Xu Qing’s forehead gently. He still had his sense of rationality, but this kiss made Zhuo Wuyou a little titillated. Looking at her soft lips, his eyes were filled with lust as he slowly approached.
Just as he was about to kiss her lips, Xu Qing suddenly let out a soft moan. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyeballs were rolling. She was about to wake up!
Zhuo Wuyou snapped out of his daze and retreated in a panic with an ashamed expression. He actually took advantage of her!
Xu Qing finally opened her eyes. The moment she opened her eyes, she froze for a moment, but she quickly remembered her encounter. Then, she looked around anxiously and saw the handsome man sitting beside her. He had bold eyebrows, piercing eyes, and a murderous aura. He had sexy lips, chiseled facial features, and a slender and tall figure.
This man was actually as handsome as Qiao Yanhui. This was the first time Xu Qing had met a man who was comparable to Qiao Yanhui in terms of looks. However, he seemed cold and aloof. Qiao Yanhui, on the other hand, was charming and cocky, with a regal aura.
“Who… who are you?” Xu Qing was a little stunned. Who was this person? Where was she? How were the children and Little Hui…
Only then did Zhuo Wuyou remember that he wasn’t wearing a mask today, but he was glad that he had forgotten to wear a mask. Otherwise, how could he see the stunned expression in Xu Qing’s eyes? Although she became indifferent in the end, he was still very satisfied.
“Zhuo Wuyou.” He was still as reticent as ever.
Xu Qing was stunned, but she also remembered what happened that night. However, because of this action, she accidentally tugged at her wounds and she immediately hissed in pain.
“Does it hurt? Let me take a look…” Zhuo Wuyou’s eyes were filled with worry. He approached Xu Qing nervously and reached out to lift Xu Qing’s clothes.
Xu Qing was so frightened that she didn’t dare to move. It was only when Zhuo Wuyou pulled open her shirt that she finally cried out in startlement.
Zhuo Wuyou also realized what he was doing and quickly turned around with his back facing Xu Qing. His voice was filled with frustration as he said, “I’m sorry.”
This was the first time Zhuo Wuyou apologized to someone!
Xu Qing pulled back her clothes in a panic, but when she saw the bandage on her body, her expression changed. Although she had been very close to Zhuo Wuyou in the past two years, and the children were also very familiar with Zhuo Wuyou, her relationship with Zhuo Wuyou was very platonic! She was about to ask something when Zhuo Wuyou suddenly said, “My eyes were closed the entire time. I was worried about handing you over to others…”
Xu Qing was stunned and couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief, but then she smiled bitterly. Even with his eyes closed, hadn’t his hands still touched her? With her situation, Zhuo Wuyou definitely had no choice but to treat her. The fact that he closed his eyes was already very respectful. Even though Xu Qing comforted herself with this, she couldn’t help but feel dejected.
For a moment, the atmosphere was very awkward. Xu Qing thought of Qiao Yanhui, who was probably already worried sick, and asked, “How long have I been unconscious?”
Zhuo Wuyou’s back was still facing her as he said, “Two days.”
Xu Qing’s eyes widened. Little Hui and the three children must be worried sick! She said firmly, “I want to go back immediately!”
Zhuo Wuyou knew she would say this… but he still wanted to persuade her to stay. “But with your injuries, it’s inconvenient for you to move around. You have three broken ribs, and the wounds on your arm haven’t completely healed. You have broken bones.”
Xu Qing was a doctor herself, so she naturally knew her situation. She also knew how to be careful of her injuries, so she said firmly, “I’ll be careful. I have to go back immediately.”
Zhuo Wuyou smiled bitterly. This was human nature. Once they obtained a little bit of something, they would become greedy for more. They would never be satisfied! He suddenly regretted letting Xu Qing look for Qiao Yanhui back then. If he had been more determined back then, would she belong to him now?
