20: Chapter 20 Let’s Call It Even 20: Chapter 20 Let’s Call It Even His burn wounds had clearly healed already.
Indeed, the soup had cooled down quite a bit by the time it was served from the kitchen yesterday.
Although a large patch of his skin turned red and seemed serious, it actually wasn’t that severe.
So it only took a day for the marks to completely disappear.
Now that he’s all healed, why does he still want her to check on him?
Hmph, men really are big liars fond of deception.
“You lied to me as well, didn’t you?”
Chu Yihan looked at her, his face noticeably darker.
Su Ge was a bit puzzled, “What did I lie to you about?”
“You hurt your waist and lied to me that it was nothing?”
Su Ge thought for a moment, yesterday when she asked Assistant Ling to apologize, she did say it was nothing.
Does that count as lying to him?
Why does he remember so clearly…
“Then let’s call it even…” Su Ge frowned slightly as she sat down, her waist pinched by Chu Yihan which started hurting again.
Chu Yihan stared at her unblinkingly.
“It’s nothing serious, I’ve applied medicine, it will be healed in a couple of days.” Su Ge explained, fearfully that he might worry.
“Are all the servants at home just for show?”
She has to apply medicine herself?
Su Ge felt that he was displacing his anger onto the servants, she instinctively said, “I don’t like others touching me.”
After saying that, she looked at Chu Yihan, whose face was stern and his expression complex.
Thinking of the huge reaction when he touched her before, Su Ge felt extremely awkward.
Although she used to extremely dislike him touching her, since they reconciled, she did let him touch her…
The look in Chu Yihan’s eyes gradually became filled with doubt and peculiarities.
Su Ge opened her mouth wanting to explain more, but couldn’t find the right words.
The way she is now compared to before must seem very abnormal, right?
It’d be strange if he wasn’t suspicious.
Suddenly changing her persona, it would be abnormal for him not to find it strange.
How can she make her changes seem less strange?
Just as Su Ge pondered over this question, her eyes flickered, she bit her lip and looked away.
Chu Yihan, observing her evidently ulterior motives, his gaze deepened, didn’t say a word, and just got up and left.
As soon as he walked away, Su Ge collapsed on the sofa like a deflated balloon.
This tactic really worked…
But, what if she couldn’t bear to hurt him anymore?
Even for a moment, she couldn’t bear it…
But she couldn’t allow his suspicions about her to deepen.
She didn’t want to be seen as someone with ulterior motives in his eyes.
Because, she needed his trust.
Having committed too many wrongs in the past, she wanted to continue studying medicine to genuinely save people.
But now, Chu Yihan won’t let her go to school, she needs to gain his trust and find an opportunity to talk to him earnestly, hoping he would agree to let her return to school.
It seems she has to wait until after Grandpa Chu’s eightieth birthday.
First, she needs to get Chu Yihan’s agreement to attend the birthday.
There are just a couple of days left until Grandpa Chu’s birthday.
During dinner, Su Ge cautiously looked up at Chu Yihan, “I want to…
attend your grandfather’s birthday.”
Chu Yihan’s eating paused slightly.
“Do you intend to never let me meet your family?
Do you want us to continue ?”
Su Ge lowered her eyelids, her detached face hid a deep sorrow, “My reconciliation with you is because, I’ve resigned to fate.”
As she spoke the words ‘resigned to fate,’ Su Ge’s tone seemed filled with helplessness, but the sorrow in her eyes deepened. The source of thɪs content is novel(ꜰ)ire.net
I’m sorry, this is the best opportunity.
Chu Yihan’s hand holding the utensils trembled slightly.
Suddenly, with a “snap”, the utensils heavily slammed onto the table.
