Beautiful Wife from Heaven: Mr. Qi, Let's Get Married

Chapter 20: Let Me Do It

After making sure all her limbs were there, Xu Zhengyang heaved a sigh of relief. "Phew, you didn't lose an arm or a leg. If you had, I would have to take care of you for the rest of your life. Just thinking about it gives me a lot of pressure."

The nurse who was changing the dressing was speechless. Was he really her biological brother?

Xu Jiaojiao was already used to Xu Zhengyang's lackadaisical attitude, so she looked up at him with a smile. "Brother, I'm fine. Don't worry."

"Your face is ruined. How are you still laughing?" Xu Zhengyang looked at the wound on Xu Jiaojiao's forehead and frowned. "No one will marry you if your face is scarred, understand?"

Xu Jiaojiao protested, "Don't say that! The doctor said that the wound isn't too deep, so it won't leave a scar."

Xu Zhengyang said, "The doctor must have lied to you. A young girl like you is the easiest to fool."

The nurse could not stand it anymore. She was about to retort that their doctor was a professional when Qi Shenbai came in and happened to hear Xu Zhengyang's infuriating words. Qi Shenbai reached out and pulled him to the side, saying to the nurse, "He's not in his right mind. Don't worry about him. Continue."

The nurse nodded.

When Xu Zhengyang heard Qi Shenbai say that his mind was addled, he instantly exploded. "Qi Shenbai! You bastard! I work myself to the bone for you and your company, but you almost got my sister killed!"

Qi Shenbai was already in a bad mood. When he shot Xu Zhengyang an icy glare, Xu Zhengyang instantly fell silent. Fine, he had to admit he was still quite afraid when his superior glared at him like that.

The nurse continued to apply medicine to Xu Jiaojiao's wound. Although it was not deep, it was still a cut, exposing her skin and flesh. She clenched her fingers in pain, holding her breath.

Qi Shenbai looked at Xu Jiaojiao's wrinkled face. It felt as if someone was squeezing his heart. "Let me do it." He stepped forward to take the nurse's cotton swabs and medicine. The nurse hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Qi Shenbai was quite reliable, she gave up her seat.

Qi Shenbai took the nurse's place and gently applied a cotton bud to the wound. Xu Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment as she looked at the handsome face of the man in front of her. She did not know how Qi Shenbai usually took care of himself, but his skin was so delicate that no pores could be seen. He had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and even lower down, his lips were very red. Half of his Adam's apple, which was restrained by his shirt, was exposed, with an almost forbidden allure. In particular, there was a faint wooden fragrance on his body that could overpower the unpleasant smell of the medicine.

Xu Jiaojiao could not help but think that God must have been very biased when he created Qi Shenbai.

Qi Shenbai knew that Xu Jiaojiao was afraid of pain, so after applying the ointment, he even blew on her wound like he was coaxing a child. When the breeze brushed past her wound, Xu Jiaojiao was stunned. All her attention was focused on her forehead. She felt that part of her body was hot and numb, and she could not help but tremble.

Qi Shenbai paused and looked down at her. "Does it hurt?"

Xu Jiaojiao pursed her lips and shook her head slightly. In a low voice, she said, "No."

When Qi Shenbai heard this, he continued to apply medicine for her. Xu Jiaojiao lowered her head and did not dare to look at him again. Her fair little hands were clenched tightly, but Qi Shenbai seemed to be completely unaware of how bewitching his face was! He even blew on the medicine while applying it. Xu Jiaojiao was about to break down! How was this applying medicine? This was torture!

When Xu Zhengyang saw Qi Shenbai's slow movements, he finally could not help but say, "Can you hurry up? If you continue to dawdle, the wound will have healed by the time you're done."

Qi Shenbai acted as if he did not hear him. He took his own sweet time applying medicine to Xu Jiaojiao's wound and then put a bandaid on it. When he put it on, it was a little itchy. Xu Jiaojiao raised her hand to touch it, but before her fingertips could touch the bandaid, Qi Shenbai grabbed her wrist and reminded her in a low voice, "Don't touch it."

"Okay." Xu Jiaojiao retracted her hand with a sparkle in her eyes.

Xu Zhengyang could not take it anymore. He stepped forward and pushed Qi Shenbai away. "Qi Shenbai, what are you doing? Don't you hate women? You can't even bear to be near women, so why are you touching my sister? You even took the initiative to apply medicine for her!"

Xu Jiaojiao's clear eyes flashed with surprise. Qi Shenbai did not like women getting close to him? When they first met, he had taken the initiative to help her up, though.

Xu Zhengyang looked at Qi Shenbai suspiciously. "You're not pretending, are you? You don't actually hate women, do you?"

Qi Shenbai's tone was indifferent. "I was the one who asked the driver to send Xu Jiaojiao to school." In other words, he was the main culprit behind Xu Jiaojiao's injury, so it was only natural for him to show some concern.

Xu Zhengyang snorted and pulled Xu Jiaojiao's hand. "Come, follow me home."

Xu Jiaojiao immediately shook her head. "I can't go home. My parents and grandma will be worried if they see me. I'll go back in a few days." Since she had grown up with her grandma, her parents were always very careful and polite around her after she returned from the countryside. Occasionally, they would even look guilty. Xu Jiaojiao did not like seeing them like that.
