After the wound cleaning, it was time for medication and bandaging.
Experiencing pain was a given, evident from the woman’s pallid complexion and the large beads of sweat on her forehead.
Because of this, Shen Wan’s quiet demeanor made her all the more pitiable.
Quan Hanting cleared his throat and instructed Lushen, “Go get a hot towel.”
Lushen raised an eyebrow in protest. “A hot towel? Am I supposed to do such a menial task?”
His complaining gaze met Quan Hanting’s stern expression, and any hint of dissatisfaction in Lushen’s heart quickly faded. He walked toward the bathroom and returned shortly with a roll of steamy hot towel.
Quan Hanting took it from him, unfolded it, and furrowed his brow slightly. “The temperature is too high.”
Lushen blinked, at a loss for words.
After waiting for about ten seconds for the temperature to decrease, Quan Hanting began using the towel to gently wipe away the sweat on Shen Wan’s face.
His gaze was focused, his movements tender as if he were treating a rare treasure.
Watching this, Lushen’s mouth felt sour, his heart ached, and his eyes stung, basically, he felt thoroughly bitter.
Even Zou Lian, who was concentrated on bandaging, couldn’t help but raise his eyes and let his gaze wander between the two of them as if he had a myriad of emotions. In the end, those emotions turned into relief.
Having served as Quan Hanting’s dedicated physician for the past 12 years, he has witnessed this young man’s journey from the beginning. However, reaching such high positions may not always be a blessing.
The perilous peak offers boundless vistas, but few comprehend the loneliness and solitude experienced by those who stand atop it.
And Quan Hanting was well-known for his lack of interest in romantic relationships, a fact that had always worried Zou Lian. He feared that Quan Hanting might ultimately find himself alone.
But now…
His kind gaze fell on Shen Wan’s face. Well… her makeup was too heavy, all smudged and blotchy. It was hard to see her original appearance, but her performance just now was enough to show that she was a strong and brave girl.
Zou Lian nodded approvingly. This was good.
After all, to be with Quan Hanting, you needed a strong inner core. Look at this guy, he doesn’t know how to sweet-talk, he doesn’t know how to woo a woman, and he doesn’t understand subtleties…
They said that modern girls didn’t like this kind of traditional male who was insensitive to the opposite sex.
Mr. Zou sighed and felt that Quan Hanting’s road ahead was worrisome.
“What’s wrong?” Quan Hanting put away the towel and asked with a hint of anxiety in his tone, noticing Zou Lian shaking his head and sighing.
Zou Lian carefully secured the bandage and then turned his attention to Shen Wan. He offered some advice without expecting an immediate response, saying, “Until the wound forms a scab, make sure to keep it dry, steer clear of alcohol and spicy foods, and get plenty of rest. Fortunately, the infection isn’t too serious. I’ll prepare some traditional Chinese medicine for you, and it’s important that you take it regularly…”
Shen Wan carefully noted down each instruction and then expressed her gratitude.
“Young lady, you have good endurance. From now on… he will be in your care.”
He will be in my care? Shen Wan was confused.
Zou Lian gave a discreet glance at Quan Hanting, a hint of teasing in his expression. Quan Hanting’s expression remained unchanged, but his ears turned red.
At that moment, Chu Yujiang came down from upstairs.
Quan Hanting asked him to stay here until the medicine was prepared, then effortlessly carried Shen Wan into the elevator.
With his hands occupied, he instructed Shen Wan to press the floor button.
“2.”
Shen Wan hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips, and finally chose the 1st floor.
Quan Hanting calmly reminded her, “The 1st floor is the living room.”
“So what?”
“The 2nd floor is where you can rest.”
“Who said I want to rest at your place?” Shen Wan muttered under her breath.
She lowered her head, revealing a portion of her snow-white neck, gracefully curved.
And Quan Hanting happened to be facing that expanse of whiteness, with a faint scent that entered his nostrils, like the refreshing scent of bergamot…
He wondered what it would feel like to touch it.
Presumably, it would be warm and soft…
Ding—
The elevator arrived on the 1st floor.
Just when Shen Wan thought he wouldn’t say anything more, Quan Hanting suddenly spoke, “I thought when you decided to get in the car with me, you had already agreed to stay overnight..”
