Chapter 170 - 170: Is She Very Important to Him?
After Li Yan left the room, Qiao Mu naturally could not sit there obediently.
She came out of the bathroom in a sorry state and put on a bathrobe without even wiping her body. At this moment, she was uncomfortable all over. Most importantly, she was not wearing any underwear!
The bathrobe was open, and she might be exposed if she was not careful. She quickly walked to the cabinet and found the underwear she had prepared beforehand. Just as she was about to change into it, Li Yan had already returned.
“What are you doing? Didn’t I tell you not to move?”
A cold voice sounded, and Qiao Mu quickly turned around and hid her underwear behind her.
Qiao Mu smiled and kicked her legs, saying indifferently, “”Uncle, it doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Li Yan narrowed his eyes and strode over. He picked Qiao Mu up and placed her on the bed, warning, “”l’m here. I’ll apply the medicine for you.”
Qiao Mu held the small piece of cloth in her hand and subconsciously pulled down her nightgown to prevent herself from revealing herself.
Qiao Mu felt that she was being too cautious after she did this because Li Yan did not notice if she was exposed at all. His gaze was fixed on the swollen area on her knee.
He was kneeling on one knee in front of her, gently holding her leg with one hand and rubbing the ointment on her injured part with the other.
He lowered his head, and Qiao Mu had the chance to size up the man in front of her wantonly. He was especially serious and meticulous when it came to the simple act of applying the ointment.
All along, he had given her the impression that he was either cold or evil. It was rare to see him so serious, as if he was treating something precious.
Precious…
Qiao Mu was stunned by her own thoughts. She actually had such an illusion!
These little nudges were really nothing to Qiao Mu. When had she ever been protected like this?
Looking at the scene in front of him, his heart seemed to be filled with memories that he had almost forgotten.
This feeling was so familiar that it made her want to cry.
“Alright, the swelling will go down in a while.”
Li Yan put away the ointment and looked up as he spoke. He then saw Qiao Mu looking at him with tears in her eyes.
He frowned slightly. ” What’s wrong? Does it hurt?”
Qiao Mu bit her lip and grunted. If she said it didn’t hurt, then why was she crying?!
Li Yan’s heart softened instantly. He sat down beside her and hugged her in front of his chest helplessly. He patted her back gently and said, ” Don’t cry. Didn’t you just say that you’re fine? Do you have any future? ”
It would have been fine if Li Yan did not speak, but the moment he did, Qiao Mu blinked her big eyes, and the tears that had accumulated in her eyes fell with a plop.
Qiao Mu sniffed, feeling embarrassed.
She hated crying the most, but she kept losing her composure in front of him. Pushing him away, she muttered softly, “”Uncle, I’ll go change.”
She raised her head to look at him and realized that his gaze had landed on her chest. There was a hint of strangeness in his deep black eyes. Qiao Mu followed his gaze and looked down. She was shocked to find that the nightgown on her chest had opened, revealing that deep hook.
Her face suddenly turned red and she quickly tightened her nightgown. Under his gaze, she felt uncomfortable.
Li Yan’s gaze landed on Qiao Mu’s hand. He raised his hand and pulled out the unknown object in her hand. Then, he saw a pair of boxers.
The corners of Li Yan’s lips curled up, and his smile was extremely bewitching..
‘ Qiao Mu, why aren’t you wearing this? Why are you holding it in your hand? “
