She also felt very wronged.
She wasn’t stupid, even if she couldn’t fight back, she wouldn’t let herself be beaten for no reason, it was just that the first hit on her injured right hand was too painful!
She really couldn’t bear it, which was why she let her strike a second time.
Tang Yuxiu paused his actions upon hearing her words, "It hit your hand too? How’s your hand?"
"It’s fine, it’s bruised anyway, it’ll be okay with some medicine."
Tang Yuxiu felt somewhat relieved, "Why didn’t you call me directly at the time?"
He was just outside, and when he heard the commotion inside, he wanted to go in, but considering he had previously misunderstood Gu Yan, she probably didn’t want him to face her family, and he also disliked dealing with people in such hospital wards, thinking it might just be their usual argument, he didn’t pay much attention and hesitated.
If only he had gone in earlier.
After wiping her shoulders, he moved to her back.
When Tang Yuxiu’s hand touched her back, her first feeling wasn’t pain, but discomfort.
Her back was a sensitive area, and even a slight touch made her feel uncomfortable.
Especially now, she was bare-chested.
Feeling the tension in her body, Tang Yuxiu sighed helplessly, "Relax, I won’t do anything."
Gu Yan lamented, the problem was not whether he wanted to do something or not, but that her back was too sensitive, which was beyond her control!
"Just wipe it, I can’t help it," Gu Yan said sullenly, turning her head to the other side.
Tang Yuxiu seemed to understand something, a smile suddenly appearing on his lips, which Gu Yan missed.
He poured medicinal wine onto his hand, wiping downwards from her left shoulder.
Initially, Gu Yan still felt pain, but by the second pass, she didn’t know if she was numb to the pain or if it subsided, she only felt a negligible ache.
"Rub a few more times, use some force, and the bruise will fade faster."
"Okay," he replied lightly, his hands never stopping, unconsciously applying a bit more force, "Is this too hard?"
"Not too hard, just right," she said.
As Tang Yuxiu rubbed and wiped, she unknowingly relaxed, closing her eyes comfortably, feeling like she was having a massage.
Young Master Tang personally massaging her.
Just the thought of it felt overwhelmingly pleasant.
Having Tang Yuxiu do something was such a rare and prestigious thing.
Gu Yan smiled silently, enjoying Tang Yuxiu’s service.
No one else could boast of being a mistress at her level.
She might as well be the luckiest mistress in the world.
Have you ever seen any benefactor massaging their mistress with medicinal wine?
Suddenly, this identity didn’t seem so disgraceful.
She was secretly laughing inside.
Maybe it was because she was extremely tired over the past few days, just recovered from a fever this afternoon, and her body was still weak. Coupled with being beaten by Mrs. Gu that evening and the incident with Gu’s father, she was mentally and physically exhausted.
Exhausted in body and spirit, under Tang Yuxiu’s rubbing and wiping, her eyes opened and closed several times tiredly before she fell asleep.
After a while, Tang Yuxiu finished, capped the medicinal wine, placed it in the living room, and came back to find that she was already asleep.
Knowing she must be very tired, he didn’t disturb her.
With a tenderness even he didn’t notice, he carefully lifted her, dressed her in pajamas, and covered her with a blanket before going to the bathroom to wash up.
After coming out, he held her gently, and they both had a restful night.
