Free Web NovelChapter 43: Chapter 44 Holding Her Feet, Feeling So Heartbroken _1
Ye Ning had never enjoyed such occasions. Her lingering illness from yesterday had yet to resolve, and she had retreated to a room for rest, staying quiet for a long while.
Then, a knock on the door.
It was Mu Yeli.
He had seen everything clearly. He saw how Ye Zi couldn’t even maintain her composure and intentionally spilled coffee onto Ye Ning.
Ye Zi’s anger was evident, but her reasons were unclear. Nonetheless, her spite was real.
He felt some anger as well. He wondered how Ye Zi could behave in such a manner.
Therefore, he went to check on her directly, wondering why she hadn’t left the room for so long.
When Ye Ning opened the door to see Mu Yeli standing there, she was surprised.
He bowed his head down and asked her, "What’s wrong?"
"Nothing, just got some coffee spilled on me."
Ye Ning thought the wolf in sheep’s clothing had come to stir up something again. But she saw Mu Yeli’s pupils darken, his phoenix eyes flickering with warning sharpness, as his tall frame and straight legs bent in one fluid motion to kneel on one knee before her.
Ye Ning was surprised. Looking down, she could see his soft, lush hair, honey-colored and slightly messy, shadowing his eye a little.
His fingers brushed against her calf. The cool sensation caused her to shiver.
Her heart pounded.
This devil.
His actions were so sexy that they had again stirred her heart into a frenzy.
"Mu Yeli, you..."
Mu Yeli’s fingers grazed her calf.
Hiss, it hurts a bit.
Mu Yeli’s brow furrowed.
As expected, the freshly brewed coffee was still hot, seeping through her thin dress and scalded her soft skin, leaving a reddish mark.
Her delicate, perfect legs now contained an unsightly mark.
This Ye Zi had actually scalded Ye Ning.
"Don’t move." Mu Yeli instructed quietly. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Ye Ning quickly understood and said, "Ah, it’s fine, I don’t feel anything, it should be okay."
She attempted to pull her leg back, but his rough palms holding her there made her heartbeat quicken even more.
Does he know he’s being so seductive?
His fingers gently traced her calf, which made her involuntarily tremble. freewebnovёl.ƈom
Mu Yeli’s brow furrowed more deeply, "You said you were fine and now you’re trembling. Stay put, I’ll get the ointment."
Sure, it was fine. Although she’d never been severely injured on a mission, she’d experienced all kinds of small scars and wounds during training. This injury was truly not much.
Speaking as such, he lifted her elegantly in his arms, laying her on the table. He sat her down before picking up a cotton medicinal pad, grabbing her foot with his free hand and observing the wound closely.
"Alright, I have applied the medicine. Let’s go."
"No, why go out? With so many people, it’s much quieter here." Ye Ning said.
Mu Yeli raised an eyebrow, "You wouldn’t be wanting to spend some alone time with me?"
"..." Seriously? Him?
Ye Ning kicked him in the shoulder, "Have you no shame?"
That got Mu Yeli’s blood boiling.
This woman dared to kick him!
"Ye Ning, where do you think you’re kicking!"
Ye Ning looked at Mu Yeli’s frustrated face, "What’s the matter? I didn’t kick your face."
"So you want to kick my face? Are you seeking death?"
"Hey, you have a comprehension problem!"
"You dare question my comprehension!"
"..."
Ye Ning said, "I think you just downright dislike me, that’s why you’re always looking for a reason to be angry at me."
That’s right, he always felt the urge to lose his temper around her. Perhaps because she had the unique ability to ignite his rage so effortlessly.
