C143 The Wild Man Outside
Jian Xi slowly stood up, wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes, and sat on a chair at the side. In the cold wind, Jian Xi did not have time to organize her mood and got up to look for Moneymaker.
"Woof, woof..."
A group of dogs suddenly rushed out from the roadside and surrounded a very small baby. Each and every one of them was fierce and fierce. Jian Xi was frightened by this group of dogs and quickly took a few steps back. Her leg missed and she fell backwards onto the cobblestone path.
"Be careful..."
Qu Yichen held Jian Xi in his arms. Jian Xi looked at the deep concern in his eyes and forgot to push him away.
Time seemed to have stopped. It was not until the group of troublemakers came again that two people let go.
Jian Xi looked at the little cat in Qu Yichen's hands and her eyes were filled with joy, "Found it."
"Yes. This little guy was picked up by the security guards and has been freeloading in the security room. He will not treat himself badly."
"This is probably a trick that he learned from his master!"
Jian Xi caressed Moneymaker, her pair of overflowing eyes carrying a sweet smile.
"Alright, since Moneymaker has been found, I should go home now, Director Qu."
As if she had thought of something, Jian Xi handed Moneymaker to Qu Yichen with a faint elegance in her eyes.
"I'll send you back. It's already dark in the sky. I won't be at ease if you go home alone!"
"No need. He saw you sending me back last time. Don't create any more misunderstandings."
Qu Yichen looked at Jian Xi's cold attitude. There was a trace of sadness in his deep eyes. "Jian Xi, as a colleague and superior, I will send you back. Since I have already said it, I am not a person who keeps pestering you. What are you afraid of? "
Qu Yichen's attitude was strong and could not be refused. Jian Xi quietly looked at him. The corner of her lips slightly pursed, but she could not say any more words of rejection. Actually, what he said was right. The two of them had nothing to do with each other in the first place. If she continued to reject him like this, then it would instead be impossible to explain clearly.
"Hiss..."
Jian Xi had just taken two steps forward when the uneven cobblestone path hurt his feet. Qu Yichen turned around and looked at the expression of holding back. With a gloomy face, he walked to her side. "Take it!"
Qu Yichen handed Moneymaker to Jian Xi's hand and squatted down to check Jian Xi's injury. His slender fingers gently pressed on Jian Xi's white ankle and Jian Xi subconsciously avoided it.
Looking up, Qu Yichen helplessly looked at Jian Xi and held her horizontally. Jian Xi struggled slightly. "Director Qu, I'm fine."
"I'm not sure if you have hurt your bones now. If you don't want me to get angry, then be obedient."
The words above Jian Xi's head silenced her. Moneymaker in her arms raised its head and licked Qu Yichen's chin. It softly mewled and had an indescribable feeling of affection.
It seemed like it was something only lovers would do in a relationship.
Returning to the villa, Qu Yichen gently placed Jian Xi on the sofa. He took off her shoes and looked at her slightly swollen ankle. He helplessly sighed, as if he was blaming Jian Xi for accidentally hurting himself. Jian Xi pursed her lips. This Director Qu looked a little scary.
"It's alright. It's just a simple sprain. Just sit here obediently. You are not allowed to go there!"
The medical kit was upstairs. Qu Yichen strode upstairs. Jian Xi looked at his back and felt a warm feeling in her heart. Ever since her father was hospitalized, no one treated her as well as he did!
It was fake to say that she was not touched. Jian Xi was grateful that he was so good to her. She felt like she was family.
The warm red flower oil gently massaged Jian Xi's ankle. Jian Xi looked at Qu Yichen's serious side profile. A blush rose on her cheeks. She was the high and mighty business emperor. But now he was doing something that did not fit his status.
Jian Xi had never thought that Qu Yichen's dressing technique would be so skillful. Her fingers gently pressed on her ankle, "Director Qu, have you bandaged others before?"
"You are the first!"
Jian Xi looked at Qu Yichen's gentle eyes. There was an emotion in them that he could not understand. She frowned slightly. "I saw that Director Qu was quite good at bandaging."
"He was often injured in the past. He has been ill for a long time and has become a doctor!"
Qu Yichen had a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was reminiscing the past. This kind of emotion flashed by and did not give Jian Xi much chance to see through it.
After putting on a medicinal paste to reduce the swelling, Qu Yichen put the remaining packet in Jian Xi's hands. "I think you do not have these at home. When you go back, remember to change them. The effect of the swelling is very good."
Jian Xi nodded and looked at Qu Yichen's slightly lonely eyes. She knew that she had said the wrong thing just now, and the two of them were a little embarrassed for a moment.
Qu Yichen picked up the shoes on the ground and was about to put them on Jian Xi when Jian Xi hurriedly took them away. "Director Qu, I will do it myself."
Jian Xi's words made the atmosphere ambiguous. Jian Xi silently put on the shoes and the two of them looked at each other without saying anything.
Moneymaker, who was acting tyrannically on the sofa, played with the corner of Qu Yichen's private custom-made suit. Qu Yichen threw it on the sofa beside him and got up to look at Jian Xi.
"I'll send you back."
"Okay."
Although they would meet each other every day, this time, the atmosphere was actually somewhat sentimental. He wanted to send the girl he liked to another person's embrace. This kind of atmosphere was probably a sorrowful one.
At eight o'clock at night, Jian Xi took the briefcase in her hand and returned to the brightly lit villa. She opened the door with some anxiety in her heart. Seeing that there was no one in the room, she immediately let out a sigh of relief.
On the dining table was the food prepared by Mrs Zhang but Jian Xi was already full. She did not want to return to her bedroom now. She took out the computer from the briefcase and started working in a corner of the dining table.
Since tonight's storm was destined to be unable to escape, then do not let fear and uneasiness dictate the remaining time.
However, Jian Xi's laptop had only been turned on for two minutes when the entire villa suddenly ran out of power. Jian Xi quietly listened to the movement of the door and the hand that was placed on the laptop trembled slightly.
She knew that hubby Qu had never let her see his appearance. Every time they met in the dark night, was it him who came back this time?
The door was gently pushed open and Jian Xi's eyes looked towards the door. She could not see anything in the dark room and her voice trembled, "Is it you?"
The man did not answer and slowly walked to Jian Xi's side. He grabbed Jian Xi's collar and pulled her up from the seat, "Who am I? Jian Xi, we have been married for so long, but I have never heard you call me husband. I have never cared about your matters outside. I never thought that... So you already have a wild man outside! "
