Chapter 186: 186, I’m not fooling you (2)_1
“Why do I smell iodine disinfectant on you?” His face turned increasingly gloomy.
Before she could respond, he abruptly grabbed her right hand, accidentally touching her wound.
Why would she use iodine disinfectant if she hadn’t been hurt?
Having no choice but to reveal the truth, Jian Qing sighed lightly, casting her eyes down and resting her head on his chest, “Xiaojing, can’t you be less sharp-witted?”
With a cold and irritated look, Quan Jingwu immediately lifted her sleeve, revealing the bandaged wound on her arm.
Jian Qing remained silent, burying her face in his chest.
Suddenly, Quan Jingwu hoisted her into his arms and strode towards the bed.
“Xiaojing, you–” Before she could voice her confusion, he set her down on the edge of the bed. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Jian Qing watched as he picked up a remote and slowly drew in the room’s curtains, plunging the room into darkness.
Quan Jingwu pressed another button, and the chandelier hanging from the ceiling flickered on, its soft light dispelling the dark.
“Where else are you hurt?”
Caught off guard by his question, Jian Qing was bewildered.
“Where else on your body are you injured?” He repeated his question.
Jian Qing looked up at him, shaking her head, “Nowhere else.”
Quan Jingwu remained silent, his deep purple eyes fixated on her. Seeing his stern face, Jian Qing reached out to grab his hand with her unhurt one.
“It’s only a minor scrape. It’ll heal in a few days.”
Suddenly, Quan Jingwu bent down and reached to strip off her clothes.
“Xiaojing, what, what are you doing?” Jian Qing clenched his hand, tilting backward.
“Strip!” He ordered coldly.
Jian Qing squinted her eyes and gritted her teeth, “Why are you stripping my clothes off?”
Has he gone insane?
“To check if you’re injured anywhere else.” He shrugged her hands away and grabbed her clothes. His demeanor was clearly not a jest.
If she didn’t tell the truth, he would find out for himself.
“Wait a moment.” Jian Qing was speechless and held him back, “I’m not lying.”
Her words left her lips, making Jian Qing somewhat guilty.
“I feel more secure checking for myself.” Quan Jingwu obviously didn’t believe her. With a tug at her clothes, her slender waist was revealed.
Jian Qing suddenly felt like she’d rather hit her head against the wall. Softening her voice, she said, “Xiaojing, let me confess, let me confess!”
Damn it, she wasn’t even wearing underwear. If he stripped her, how could she maintain her dignity?
After a moment, Quan Jingwu released his grip, watching her as he stood up straight.
No longer trying to deceive him, Jian Qing slowly rolled up her pant leg.
Several areas on her fair, flawless leg were bruised black and blue. The skin on her knee was scraped and raw, making for a stark contrast.
Quan Jingwu’s violet eyes contracted, his large hands closing into tight fists.
“Xiaojing, these are just minor bruises. It’ll heal in a few days with some ointment. It doesn’t hurt.” Jian Qing reached for his hand, pulling at his arm while forcing a smile.
His thin lips tightly pressed, he squatted down next to the bed, his large hand gently brushing over the discolored wounds. A trace of heartache flickered in the depths of his purple eyes. His heart throbbed with pain.
How could it not hurt? How could it not hurt with so many bruises?
“Darling!” He muttered in a husky voice.
“…I’m sorry!”
For the first time, this mighty, cold-hearted man, akin to a king, had said “I’m sorry”, and it was to her.
Jian Qing lowered her gaze to look at the man squatting by the bed. A warm smile crept onto her face. “Xiaojing, the least necessary thing between us is these three words.”
She reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her face into his neck, whispering softly, “My Xiaojing, you’re so good!”
So good that she couldn’t let him go…
Quan Jingwu secured her, so she wouldn’t roll off the bed, hearing her mumbling words by his ear. His furrowed brows finally started to ease.
“Darling, let’s go to the hospital!”
“No!” She objected immediately. She didn’t want to stay in the hospital for even a moment longer.
These minor injuries wouldn’t require a hospital visit. The bruises and scratches would heal with just some ointment. There was no need to make a special trip to the hospital.
Quan Jingwu propped himself up, collapsing back onto the bed, a typical male-over-female position.
“Behave, we must go to the hospital.”
“Xiaojing, can we not go to the hospital?” Jian Qing looped her arm around his neck, looking up at him with pity in her moist eyes.
“No–”
Before he could finish his sentence, her soft lips cut him off. A trace of mischief flickered in Jian Qing’s eyes and she mischievously licked at his thin lips.
A sense of helplessness flashed across Quan Jingwu’s brows, his large hand holding her head, inverting their roles, tasting her sweet lips as his own.
After quite a passionate kiss, Jian Qing gasped for breath, her flushed face looking extremely enticing.
Phew, she nearly suffocated.
Playing the beauty card was risky and she decided to use it sparingly in the future!
Quan Jingwu sat down by the bed, gently removing the bandage she had put on. His movements were delicate.
Perhaps the movement was a bit too rash, the scratch started to seep blood, staining the white bandage red.
“Uh, it’s probably because I accidentally pulled it earlier.” Jian Qing glanced down, her voice indifferent, as though she wasn’t the one who was injured.
“No worries, it should stop bleeding by itself in a while.”
Quan Jingwu glared at her, his eyebrows knitting together, “Darling, do you want to go to the hospital?”
“…” Jian Qing pouted her lips. He was always threatening her. This Xiaojing was not cute at all!
Quan Jingwu threw the bandage onto the bedside table, grabbing his phone to call Shen Hao.
“Get a doctor to come to the mansion, immediately!”
On the other end of the line, a still confused Shen Hao wanted to ask a question, but the call was abruptly disconnected.
Sigh, his life was so tough. He was surely going to lose years of his life due to exhaustion.
Jian Qing curled up on the bed, thinking about how the whole Quan family would soon know about her situation, and she suddenly developed a headache.
If she had known, she would have just gone back to Shijin Haoting directly.
After the call, Quan Jingwu took a hairdryer and started to dry her hair. Jian Qing leaned against him, looking as though she were about to fall asleep.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
The sound of knocking broke her drowsiness and she quickly pulled down her sleeves and pant leg.
Quan Jingwu turned off the hairdryer and got up to answer the door.
Outside the door, Quan Yifei stood frozen in shock when she saw Quan Jingwu.
Oh my God, didn’t his second brother tell her that their third brother was taking a shower in the guest room?
Alongside Quan Yifei was Song Xirou. Seeing the man standing in front of them freshly showered, his wet hair adding an irresistible spark of sex appeal, her heart quickened its pace.
“Third Brother, this was just made in the kitchen, for Jian Qing.” Feeling the cold aura emanating from Quan Jingwu, Quan Yifei quickly pulled herself together and handed over the small cupcake she was holding.
Even for family, the entrance to the third brother’s room was forbidden territory. Aside from the fact that everyone in the Quan family knew that, it was also true that she didn’t dare to step in.
