BXBX NOVEL Chapter 119 - 124: Is it considered a blessing in disguise? (7)
Gu Qingxin’s breath hitched, her blood almost freezing as Beiming Han’s gaze fell on her pale chest. Noting her trembling eyelashes and tense demeanor, he picked her up and moved her aside…
He was curious to see if she’d ever dare act tough in front of him again!
Gu Qingxin was still perplexed when he grabbed her arm. Beiming Han held her bandaged forearm and slowly started unwrapping it.
Xiao Ya looked at him quizzically. The man was giving the wound on her arm a very serious look, treating it with great care and tenderly removing the blood-stained gauze.
His gaze fell on her wound which was not too deep, but still required stitches to avoid scars. Against her fair skin, the tiny cut seemed especially frightening.
He suddenly recalled how Xiao Ya had cried pitifully in his arms the previous night because of the pain, which left an unexpected heaviness in his chest.
Beiming Han rested her arm and stood to fetch some ointment.
“I can do it myself,” Gu Qingxin hastily said, eager to take the ointment and not wanting him to help.
“Sit properly!” Beiming Han glared at her unhappily. He squeezed some ointment onto a cotton swab and slowly began dabbing it onto her wound.
At the sting of the ointment, Gu Qingxin’s hand clenched tightly into a fist. She quickly turned her head away, unwilling to look at her own wound anymore.
“Does it hurt?” Beiming Han’s brows furrowed with worry, blowing gently on the wound in hopes of easing her pain.
“Not as much as when you were forcing yourself on me.”
Upon hearing Xiao Ya’s blunt truth, the room temperature seemed to plunge drastically, leaving her feeling as if she’d fallen into an ice cellar…
“Gu Qingxin, let’s get this straight. I didn’t force myself on you. The first time, you were drugged and took advantage of me! The second time, 1 paid you back and even asked for some interest! After that, 1 bought you and you chose me willing!” Beiming Han was inexplicably frustrated.
What does she mean by ‘it doesn’t hurt as much as when he forced himself on her’…
Gu Qingxin,”…”
That’s sophistry!
Despite his anger, Beiming Han still controlled it well, inspecting her injured arm. His movements seemed rough, but in reality, he was extremely gentle as he bandaged her up.
Then he lifted her dress back into place and zipped it…
Gu Qingxin lowered her head, refusing to look at him. It was all his fault she got hurt in the first place, she certainly wouldn’t thank him!
After tidying up the medicine, Beiming Han immediately returned to his work. Knowing that he wouldn’t do any more to her, Gu Qingxin quietly sighed in relief.
The car parked in front of a mall. The bodyguard opened the door for them. Beiming Han got out first and turned back to order Xiao Ya, who was still sitting inside, “Get out!”
Gu Qingxin had no choice but to follow him out of the car. The pair immediately attracted the attention of the crowd. Not only due to the globally limited edition car and the bodyguard, but also because wherever Beiming Han went, he seemed to radiate star quality, attracting everyone’s attention…
Gu Qingxin tried to keep her head low, hoping to distance herself from this man.
Beiming Han turned to look at Xiao Ya, who was continuously trying to drift away from him. He quickly figured out her intent, walked up to her, and encircled her waist, drawing her close…
“Do 1 embarrass you?” There was clear displeasure in Beiming Han’s voice.
“No…Of course not!” Gu Qingxin immediately shook her head. Due to their height difference, she had to crane her neck to look him in the eyes.
“Then why are you avoiding me?” Beiming Han had a you-better-give-me-a-good-reason-or-I-won’t-let-it-go expression on his face..
