Chapter 334: Chapter 0334: Whose Party to Attend?
𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
The originally warm atmosphere was completely destroyed by Ye Xunhuan’s untimely remark, leaving Qiu Ruoxi feeling helpless inside.
What was he thinking at a time like this, making jokes when she was driving in such a hurry.
However, Qiu Ruoxi didn’t argue with him this time but sped towards the villa.
Upon returning to the villa and seeing the gunshot wound on Ye Xunhuan’s arm, Wang Ma was shocked and her face filled with panic, "Young Master... you... what happened...?"
"Wang Ma, it’s nothing!" Ye Xunhuan said softly, "Could you prepare a knife, a candle, a bottle of alcohol in lieu of the candle, tweezers, and abrasive paper for me..."
"Oh, oh..." Wang Ma nodded hastily, and quickly went to fetch the items Ye Xunhuan had asked for.
Meanwhile, Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi headed upstairs.
Shortly after, Wang Ma brought all the things Ye Xunhuan needed. There was no candle, but she brought a bottle of alcohol instead!
"Wang Ma, could you find me a bottle? Never mind, just get me a wine glass!"
Wang Ma hurriedly fetched a wine glass for Ye Xunhuan, "Young Master, are you going to...?"
"I can handle it myself!"
"Young Master, you should still go to the hospital, there’s so much blood on your arm..." Wang Ma said, still worried.
"It’s fine!" Ye Xunhuan shook his head, "Wang Ma, please go outside!"
"Miss, this..."
"Wang Ma, just listen to him and go outside!" Qiu Ruoxi also wanted Ye Xunhuan to go to the hospital, but he had refused, and she could tell from the determined look in his eyes that even if she dragged him to the hospital, he might just run away from there!
Seeing Qiu Ruoxi say this, Wang Ma was still somewhat worried, but in the end, she left.
After Wang Ma left, Ye Xunhuan urgently started to take off his coat and was also removing his shirt.
"What... what are you doing..."
"Big sister, look at the state I’m in, what else can I do?" Ye Xunhuan sighed helplessly upon seeing Qiu Ruoxi looking like a startled rabbit, "Can we keep it pure, can we not think about going to bed every day?"
Qiu Ruoxi’s face turned red with embarrassment at Ye Xunhuan’s words.
"Stop standing there in a daze, help me out!"
"Oh!" Qiu Ruoxi nodded and carefully helped him take off his shirt.
His malt-colored skin was immediately exposed to the air, resembling the most luxurious silk satin from Suzhou and Hangzhou, shining with a healthy and soft luster.
At the same time, old healed scars of various sizes were also revealed, with some as long as several inches, and some still showing faint traces of stitches.
Although it wasn’t the first time Qiu Ruoxi had seen those scars on Ye Xunhuan’s body, she couldn’t help but feel shocked each time.
How did he survive with so many scars on his body, some of which were fatal?
What exactly had he done to get all these scars, was he really just a bodyguard from Zhongnanhai?
"Wife, can you do me a favor?"
"What... what do you want me to do?"
"When I use the knife to dig the bullet out later, help me use the tweezers to extract it."
"I... I don’t know how!"
"It’s simple, I trust you!" Ye Xunhuan let out a muffled breath, then opened the bottle, poured the alcohol into the glass, and lit it on fire. He picked up the sharp knife and sterilized it over the flame. Glancing at his arm, Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath and plunged the knife into the wound.
Witnessing this scene, Qiu Ruoxi’s face was filled with anxiety, her teeth clenched tightly at that moment. Her heart beat violently, as if it was about to leap out of her throat!
It was as if the wound on Ye Xunhuan’s body was on her own!
Watching the knife in Ye Xunhuan’s hand constantly work over the wound, her heart felt as if it was being twisted. Biting her teeth, she slowly turned her gaze to Ye Xunhuan and saw him clenching his teeth, resolutely not making a sound.
Doesn’t it hurt him at all?
Qiu Ruoxi watched Ye Xunhuan with a sort of fascination. From the moment she met Ye Xunhuan, or rather, the impression Ye Xunhuan had left on her, she didn’t like him, in fact, she detested him!
But now, he seemed like a changed person, no longer carrying that frivolous demeanor, and his gaze slowly turned profound!
He appeared very serious.
Although Ye Xunhuan did not utter any cries of pain, Qiu Ruoxi could tell from his slightly trembling body and sweat-drenched forehead that he was in agony, he just did not show it!
How much willpower and endurance would it take to do so?
While Qiu Ruoxi was distracted, Ye Xunhuan suddenly said, "What are you spacing out for? Help me get the bullet out quick!"
"Oh, oh..."
Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Qiu Ruoxi gradually came back to her senses and said with her lips lightly bitten, "You... you just bear with it a bit!"
"Big sister, can you hurry up please?"
Qiu Ruoxi’s right hand trembled slightly as she reached out toward the wound on Ye Xunhuan.
A small protrusion was now visible on top of the wound—it was the bullet!
At that moment, Qiu Ruoxi’s heart was flooded with unprecedented nervousness; she had never experienced this sort of thing before, let alone removing a bullet for someone!
Finally, Qiu Ruoxi grasped the bullet with the tweezers, pulled with force, and directly extracted it.
The moment the bullet was pulled out, Qiu Ruoxi felt as though all her strength had been drained, leaving her completely limp.
Just then, Ye Xunhuan picked up the antiseptic and hemostatic nearby and started bandaging himself!
By the time Qiu Ruoxi came to her senses, Ye Xunhuan had already begun to wrap the white gauze around himself!
Seeing this, Qiu Ruoxi hastily said, "Let me do it!"
As she spoke, Qiu Ruoxi took the white gauze from Ye Xunhuan’s hands and began to carefully bandage his wound, her pretty face also filled with an unprecedented tenderness at that moment!
Looking at Qiu Ruoxi’s gentle face, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but think, wouldn’t it be wonderful if she was always like this in the future?
At that moment, Qiu Ruoxi suddenly asked, "Does it hurt?"
"It’s okay," Ye Xunhuan replied softly after coming back to his senses.
In an instant, Qiu Ruoxi finished bandaging Ye Xunhuan’s wound and tied a beautiful butterfly knot.
After all this, Ye Xunhuan picked up his clothes from the side, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and lit it up, taking a heavy drag: "Who’s party are you attending later?"
