Yan Xiruo’s mind went blank for an instant. She didn’t understand the meaning of his words.
What did he mean he didn’t play?
If he wasn’t playing, why was he treating her this way?
Just when Yan Xiruo thought that he was going to take her by force and take advantage of her again, he placed her on the sofa, turned around, and took out a small medicine box from the cabinet.
Yan Xiruo saw him squat in front of her and swallowed her saliva nervously. “You…” He wouldn’t be so kind-hearted as to apply medicine for her, right?
Ye Juemo’s cold gaze landed on her red and swollen knee. He pressed on it with his long fingers. Yan Xiruo immediately gritted her teeth in pain. “What are you doing… It’s so painful…” As she finished speaking, she froze. What kind of tone was she using just now? Although it was full of resentment, it sounded coquettish as well.
Yan Xiruo couldn’t wait to strangle herself to death. What was going on with her? Didn’t she hate this man the most? Why were there uncontrollable ripples in her heart when she saw him bringing the medicine box over?
She shook her head. She was already a married woman. How could she be in an ambiguous relationship with another man? Upon thinking about this, Yan Xiruo stood up from the sofa.
She did it so quickly that she didn’t realize that she was still wrapped in a bath towel. The moment she stood up, the bath towel slipped as well.
As she looked at the bath towel that fell to the ground, Yan Xiruo’s mind went blank. She stared blankly at the man who was sweeping his gaze over her. When she recovered, she let out a sharp scream. “Ah!!!” She hurriedly bent down, picked up the towel, and wrapped it around her body.
Her face was flushed red and she wanted to flee. However, he held her wrist firmly and said casually, “It’s not as if I haven’t seen this before.”
Yan Xiruo was embarrassed and annoyed. She raised the hand that he wasn’t holding on to and wanted to give him a slap to the face, but he moved faster than she did. He clasped her wrist directly and flung her to the sofa.
“I still have to attend the banquet later and will leave after applying medicine for you. Don’t move around.” A trace of impatience could be detected in his low and deep voice.
Yan Xiruo knew that she wasn’t his match. If she struggled further, she might infuriate and irritate him.
She bit her lips, sat obediently on the sofa, and didn’t move.
He squatted in front of her again and took out cotton swabs and ointment from the medicine box.
Yan Xiruo looked at his handsome and perfectly sculpted face. Her heart couldn’t help but beat uncontrollably.
It was as if he didn’t notice her unusual behavior. He looked at her red and swollen knee, dipped the cotton swab into the medicine, and patiently applied the medicine for her.
His movements were soft and delicate. The injured area felt cool and comfortable after the medicine was applied to it.
She lowered her head and couldn’t help but look at him. Whether it was his appearance or temperament, he was the most outstanding man she had ever seen. His facial features were exquisite and clearly defined. He was cold and restrained yet arrogant at the same time.
Her gaze slowly moved down from his overly handsome face. Only a bath towel was wrapped around his lean body. Although he was half-squatting, he didn’t look the least bit inelegant.
Looking at his muscular chest that wasn’t rough at all, at his defined abdominal muscles, and at his sexy and perfect Apollo’s Belt, she had to admit that he was an extremely charming man.
Upon realizing that she was going gaga over him, Yan Xiruo quickly withdrew her gaze and turned her face away. She didn’t look at him again.
