Chapter 127: Protecting You_1
Translator: 549690339
The burn ointment was covered in English letters, indicating it was a type of imported medicine.
Jian Yufei took it and looked at it, laughing as she said, “Aunt Li, can you even read English letters?”
Her question was offhand, but it caused a flicker in Aunt Li’s eyes.
“I obviously don’t know this foreign language, but having stayed with the Ruan Family for so long, naturally I’ve seen more than the average person.”
Jian Yufei thanked her, taking the medicine and preparing to go upstairs.
Aunt Li repeatedly instructed her to make sure she used the medicine she provided. Only after she nodded and promised that she would, did Aunt Li believe her.
Returning to the bedroom, she took the contraceptive pill and applied the ointment that Aunt Li had given her to the burn.
The ointment had a faint mint scent, and it was very soothing. When smeared on the wound, the pain was eased, and the burning sensation greatly diminished.
After a while, she could hardly feel pain in the injured area. She marvelled at Aunt Li’s medicine, which was indeed remarkably effective.
In the evening, Ruan Tianling returned.
By that time, Jian Yufei had already gone to bed. His unexpected return stirred her unease.
She couldn’t figure out why he had kept her here.
Could it really be just to punish her?
The man took a shower and walked toward her wrapped in a bath towel. In the soft light, she noticed that his gaze was very dark.
His eyes locked onto hers, his gaze predatory and wild. Jian Yufei involuntarily clenched her fists, her heart pounding like a drum.
Ruan Tianling sat down beside her. He was close, she, laying on her side, could see his strong abdomen.
Clad in clothes, Ruan Tianling had a model-perfect physique. He was unlike other rich heirs who were physically wasted by hedonistic escapades.
She knew that he exercised every day, so his muscular body was firm and taut.
It’s often said that a man’s six-pack is the sexiest thing, and he had a perfectly formed one.
Jian Yufei averted her eyes. She did not want to look at his body, nor did she want to meet his gaze. She stared at a point on the ground, yet his breath was everywhere and it hit her in the face.
After a few seconds of silence, she could no longer tolerate his burning gaze and broke the silence first, “What’s the meaning of confining me here?”
She had thought about this question all day and had not figured it out.
The man leaned over her, his hands supporting him on either side of her. His large, cocky shadow was cast on the wall opposite.
His closeness intensified the masculine scent that kept twisting around her nose.
“Baby, I’m not confining you here, I’m protecting you,” he murmured with a fond smile.
Jian Yufei froze, her head deep in the soft pillow, “I don’t understand what you mean, why do you need to protect me?”
Ruan Tianling flicked a strand of her hair away, smiling playfully, “You’ve offended the Yan Family, there are many people who want to punish you. Is it wrong to have you hide here?”
“Are you saying that Yan Yue’s family wants to retaliate against me?” she asked incredulously.
That was ridiculous.
She had never wronged anyone, why would they target her? Just because she humiliated Yan Yue?
Honest to truth, she did not regret humiliating her in front of everyone.
Yan Yue provoked her first, so it only served her right to be humiliated in return!
There was a smile on Ruan Tianling’s face as he lightly shook his head, “The Yan Family doesn’t need to take action.”
