Free Web NovelChapter 1037: Chapter 15: Didn’t Expect You to Have a Bust After All_2
"You..."
"Enough! What do you think Mr. Gu wants to do to you?"
Gu Yan glanced at Nie Xiaoxing, "Come on, Mr. Gu can’t muster any interest in your bony figure."
"...Gu Yan, I’m going to tear your mouth off sooner or later!"
Nie Xiaoxing was furious!
Gu Yan swiftly undid two of Nie Xiaoxing’s buttons, and suddenly reached inside with one hand.
"Gu Yan..." Nie Xiaoxing’s face and ears turned red, fumbling to grab his hand.
"Tsk."
Gu Yan looked at her, "Don’t move, Mr. Gu is checking your injury."
"I don’t need you to look!" Nie Xiaoxing tried to grab his hand.
Gu Yan pursed his lips, firmly grabbed her two hands and pinned them to her legs, while his other hand gently stroked the bruise on her collarbone, "Damn, you’re really hurt!"
Gu Yan frowned as his hand on her collarbone suddenly hooked onto her nightgown, pulling it open slightly to look down.
"Gu Yan, I’m going to dig out your eyeballs!"
Nie Xiaoxing angrily kicked him.
Gu Yan’s face turned red, pressing his leg against hers, he gave her a glance, saying something that made Nie Xiaoxing wish she could tear him to pieces, "Who would’ve thought, you actually have a bust!"
Nie Xiaoxing’s whole body turned red, she bit her lip hard, glaring at Gu Yan as if looking at a lifelong enemy.
Gu Yan patted his ear and let go of Nie Xiaoxing’s nightgown, "I didn’t mean to look, I actually wanted to see if you had any injuries below your collarbone."
"You’re filthy!" Nie Xiaoxing trusted him as far as she could throw him!
Gu Yan, "..."
...
Gu Yan somehow found a box of ointment and started carefully applying it to Nie Xiaoxing’s collarbone.
Even though Gu Yan was helping her, Nie Xiaoxing glared at him the entire time.
Gu Yan finished applying the ointment to her collarbone and then pushed up the sleeves of Nie Xiaoxing’s nightgown.
Seeing the bruises on her skinny arms, Gu Yan’s breath hitched, anger flaring in his eyes.
"Are you even a woman?"
Gu Yan suddenly glared at Nie Xiaoxing and yelled, "You’re so badly hurt, and you didn’t even make a sound?"
Nie Xiaoxing, "..." Her face darkened further!
In a huff, she started pulling down her sleeves.
"Nie Xiaoxing, I’m not freaking joking right now!"
Gu Yan grabbed her hand and tossed it aside, his voice grave, "You better tell me exactly who those people are right now! I’m going to break both their arms!"
Nie Xiaoxing’s heart skipped a beat, she frowned, staring at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan applied the ointment to Nie Xiaoxing for quite a while without her saying anything, impatiently glaring at her, "Why are you just watching me? Speak up! Have you been hit dumb?!"
Nie Xiaoxing’s mouth twitched, "Why are you asking? It’s none of your business!"
Gu Yan didn’t respond.
Seeing this, Nie Xiaoxing’s heart sank a little.
Gu Yan carefully applied ointment to Nie Xiaoxing’s arms, then took his leg off of her and tightly closed the ointment box, tossing it to Nie Xiaoxing, "Get some rest early!"
With that, Gu Yan shoved his hands into his pockets and walked towards the door.
She thinks her silence means he won’t find out?!
Those people, daring to touch Mr. Gu’s people, it’s like they want to die!
Just you wait!
Nie Xiaoxing watched Gu Yan walk out of the apartment door, closing it, emotions churning violently in her eyes.
Her hand, resting on her leg, touched the box of ointment, Nie Xiaoxing glanced down at it, but what appeared in her mind was the image of Mr. Gu seriously applying medication to her earlier.
Nie Xiaoxing held the ointment tightly, her eyes closing firmly along with it, preventing herself from further indulging in wishful thinking.
He despised her so much.
How could it possibly...
The only reason he’s helping her.
Is probably because of Aunt Yuan.
...
Three days had passed since that night.
Nie Xiaoxing had been going to work as usual.
After work one day.
Nie Xiaoxing walked past the apartment building where Lu Zhiquan lived, remembering his chest injury, she took out a newly purchased phone from her bag along with the business card Lu Zhiquan had given her earlier.
Nie Xiaoxing had just entered the number from the business card into her phone, about to dial.
"Xiao Xing." A surprised male voice came from ahead just in time.
Nie Xiaoxing’s finger paused over the call button, she looked up.
She saw Lu Zhiquan walking quickly towards her, his face full of joy.
Nie Xiaoxing couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
"Xiao Xing, were you coming to see me?"
Lu Zhiquan’s eyes were bright as he stared at Nie Xiaoxing.
Nie Xiaoxing held up her phone, "I was just about to call you."
Hearing Nie Xiaoxing say this, the light in Lu Zhiquan’s eyes intensified, he gazed enthusiastically at Nie Xiaoxing.
Nie Xiaoxing’s eyes flashed briefly, she said, "I wanted to ask how your injury is recovering?"
"It doesn’t hurt much anymore." Lu Zhiquan said as he tried to take Nie Xiaoxing’s hand.
Nie Xiaoxing subtly moved her hands back, raising her face to look at him, "I don’t have anything else to ask. Now that I know your injury is mostly healed, I’m relieved."
Lu Zhiquan’s eyes narrowed slightly, he withdrew his hand, "Have you had dinner?"
"I just ate." Nie Xiaoxing replied.
Lu Zhiquan’s gaze suddenly deepened as he stared at Nie Xiaoxing, "Xiao Xing, I thought we were already friends?"
Nie Xiaoxing was momentarily stunned.
"But now, it seems like I was just being overly sentimental." Lu Zhiquan’s voice sounded forlorn.
Nie Xiaoxing squeezed the business card in her hand, "I’m really grateful you saved me last time..."
"Xiao Xing, if you weren’t the one that night, but someone else, I would have just called the police; I wouldn’t have rushed in."
Lu Zhiquan stared at her, speaking slowly.
Nie Xiaoxing’s brows twitched, her lips tightened.
At this point, Lu Zhiquan stepped closer to Nie Xiaoxing, his eyes still firmly fixed on her, his voice deep, "I know that in your eyes, I’m just an ordinary trainee without any sense of presence. At the start, you didn’t even care to know my name.
But to me, you’re different. I like watching you spin gracefully in the training room, your legs moving like the wind.
I like seeing you with sweat on your forehead, your eyes bright and determined. I also like how you seldom smile, cold to the point the sun can’t warm you. Xiao Xing, I..."
"Lu Zhiquan."
Nie Xiaoxing calmly interrupted Lu Zhiquan, her eyes fixed on him, "To be honest, it’s strange to hear you think that way. Because to me, no normal man would notice someone like me..."
Nie Xiaoxing paused, a trace of self-mockery on her lips, "He said I’m not even worthy of being called a woman."
He?
Lu Zhiquan’s throat tightened, "This ’he,’ is it that Mr. Gu from last time?"
Nie Xiaoxing lightly furrowed her brows, her teeth gently biting her lower lip.
Seeing this, Lu Zhiquan knew he guessed right. Now not only was his throat blocked, but also his heart.
So, he was still a step too late, right?!
