Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Distracting Attention
“It’s about diverting her attention.”
Qin Sijue frowned, “Attention?”
“Yeah, when she’s in pain, diverting her attention naturally makes her not feel it.”
As his words fell, he had already cut off the communication.
Looking up at the person in front of him, he didn’t speak, but pulled her over, staring at her wound in a trance.
How exactly can he divert her attention?
“Maybe I should do it myself…”
She knew that he was afraid of hurting her.
“Can you even see it?” he glanced at her and spoke irritably.
She might be able to tend to the wounds on her abdomen, but for the area at the back of her neck, not only could she not see it, but it would also be very difficult to apply medicine with her own hands.
Rendered speechless by his remark, Gu Qiangwei silently lowered her eyelids.
She suddenly looked up, “What?”
He curled his lips, “A method to relieve your pain.”
“…What method?” In fact, she thought he was making a mountain out of a molehill. Such pain was normal, and so was enduring it.
But what she didn’t know was why he had gone to such lengths to relieve her pain for such a trivial matter.
Just tough it out, and it would soon pass.
However, before her thoughts could settle, his lips sealed hers in the next instant!
With wide eyes, Gu Qiangwei was taken aback!
Why had he kissed her again!?
Her mind went blank, and it took her quite a while to come back to her senses, intending to push him away.
But just as she raised her hand, he voluntarily let go of her.
Looking at the area where he had applied the medicine, Qin Sijue smiled satisfactorily, even feeling a full sense of achievement!
Gu Qiangwei was dumbfounded; it took her several seconds to realize that he had actually applied medicine to her wound.
So, he had kissed her just now to divert her attention?
“Let’s tend to your stomach!”
As he spoke, he was about to continue applying medicine to her abdomen.
But in the next instant, she snatched the medicine from his hand.
She was afraid that he would once again use such an inexplicable method to ‘relieve her pain’!
Quickly, almost with lightning speed, Gu Qiangwei gritted her teeth against the pain and rapidly applied the medicine on her abdomen.
After all the fuss, it was now the late-night early morning.
Leaving now was not an option as she had neither a car nor any means to get to this place.
After weighing her options, she decided to stay here for the night and leave first thing in the morning.
Listening to the sounds of running water in the bathroom, Gu Qiangwei got out of bed, took a set of her clothes from her suitcase, and quickly changed into them.
Then, she tiptoed out of the master bedroom.
She planned to make do on the living room sofa downstairs for the night.
Late at night, Jueyuan was peaceful.
The quiet living room was so silent that only the chirping of cicadas outside the window could be heard.
Without any blankets, she lay down directly on the couch; the spacious sofa was more than enough for her.
Having applied the medicine, the pain wasn’t as bad, and as the night deepened, sleepiness gradually overcame her.
She didn’t remember how long she had slept when, in a hazy state, Gu Qiangwei felt her body being moved…
Opening her eyes, she couldn’t make out the ‘object’ in front of her in the dim light, but the familiar scent instantly woke her up.
“What are you doing!?”
She lifted her head, unable to see the man’s face clearly.
It wasn’t until he leaned down that she could see his eyes, dark like the night, shimmering with fluid light, like a bright Polaris in the night sky.
“There’s no reason for a wife to sleep on the couch,” he said, lips slightly curved, as he carried her straight to the second floor.
