Shen Qingqing felt a little helpless. She didn't know why, but the old man seemed to dislike Zhao Qian.
From the moment Zhao Qian got into the car, the old man hadn't spoken a word to him. She wasn't sure why and guessed that the old man might have some unspoken troubles, so she didn't ask further.
"Miss Shen, perhaps we should just give up."
Zhao Qian was sensitive and could naturally sense the old man's displeasure. He wouldn't force anyone, even if he didn't know the reason.
He had tried greeting the old man earlier, but he was ignored.
"It's fine, I'll have the waiter bring the medicine."
The waiter promptly brought the gauze and disinfectant. Shen Qingqing took the medicine and returned to her room. Zhao Qian hesitated for a moment before following her in.
As he looked up, he met Fu Jingshu's cold gaze.
He immediately stopped in his tracks, his heart sinking.
He knew it, this person didn't welcome him either.
Shen Qingqing didn't notice. She was skilled in medicine herself and saw Zhao Qian as just a patient. She didn't think much of it and diligently bandaged Zhao Qian's wound.
Zhao Qian averted his head, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
With such a cold person sitting there, he couldn't help but feel a chill, even with a clear conscience.
As he turned his head, he saw Shen Qingqing's lowered gaze, softening her beauty with a touch of gentleness. His heart stirred with a pang of guilt.
"I'm sorry..."
"Hm?" Shen Qingqing glanced at him. "Sorry for what?"
"I've implicated you." Zhao Qian didn't know that man well but had seen him before; his identity was not simple. "You've offended him, and he might seek revenge."
The more he spoke, the more annoyed he became, realizing it was all because of him.
Shen Qingqing, however, wasn't too concerned. "What's the big deal? You came with me, after all. I can't just abandon you."
After applying the disinfectant, he winced from the pain but still said, "But you don't know, that person's status is very high. He's a young master from a prominent family!"
"Am I afraid of him?"
The Feng family was also a prominent family, having relocated from China and established themselves here for many years.
Shen Qingqing was unfazed, showing no fear.
"You don't understand, that person is really difficult to deal with. How about I go apologize to him later? Whether it's kneeling or begging, as long as he lets it go, I'll do anything."
Zhao Qian made up his mind. He couldn't let his troubles implicate others.
"Hiss!"
The wound suddenly hurt. He quickly looked down and saw Shen Qingqing's expression unchanged.
She... didn't do it on purpose, did she?
He didn't dwell on it and tried to comfort himself, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt..."
Shen Qingqing couldn't help but chuckle softly and said, "You really are a fool."
After applying the disinfectant and reaching for the gauze, she heard Zhao Qian resolutely say from behind her:
"I'm going to find him now. Even if he makes things difficult, it will be for me. It won't implicate you."
"Stop right there."
Shen Qingqing said exasperatedly, "Apologize for what? Even if you go, he won't let you off, and besides, you've already apologized."
Going again would only lead to humiliation.
Most importantly, she had injured two of his people. He would surely retaliate, and she was afraid Zhao Qian wouldn't be able to bear it.
Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Zhao Qian finally grew anxious. "You don't understand. Not only is his own status extraordinary, but he's also friends with the little prince. It's said the little prince treats him exceptionally well, their relationship is very close!"
"The little prince?"
Shen Qingqing had heard of him. Country H, unlike Hua Xia, had three princes. The little prince was rumored to be charming and handsome. Although over twenty, he still had a childlike disposition.
He loved to play, loved to indulge, and made friends everywhere. His reputation was widespread. But she hadn't expected him to be friends with someone like this; it seemed the rumors were unreliable.
Before even meeting him, she already had a poor impression of this little prince.
"Don't worry, even if the king himself came, he would still have to be reasonable. There's nothing to be afraid of."
Zhao Qian was dumbfounded. "How can you be so bold?"
She wasn't even afraid of royalty?
Shen Qingqing was unconcerned and turned to look at her man. "Are you afraid?"
Fu Jingshu, who had been neglected for a while, pulled her into his arms upon hearing her. With the warmth and softness in his embrace, the gloom in his eyes gradually dissipated.
"They aren't worthy."
Too arrogant!
Zhao Qian's jaw almost hit the floor. This couple was just as arrogant, yet their exceptional looks made them not only bearable but also worthy of genuine admiration.
Shen Qingqing sat in her man's arms, her legs dangling, and couldn't help but sway. "So, I'm not afraid, and you don't need to do anything for me. Of course, if you want to apologize for yourself, that's your business."
She had helped as much as she could. If the other party insisted on apologizing...
There was nothing she could do.
Zhao Qian quickly waved his hand upon hearing this. "No, I won't go."
Shen Qingqing then remembered that the wound was treated, but the gauze wasn't applied yet. As she reached for it, someone else quickly took it.
Fu Jingshu gripped his petite wife's slender waist, placed her beside him, and grabbed Zhao Qian with his other hand, bandaging him. Zhao Qian was stunned.
After a long while, he came to his senses and wanted to pull his hand back, but the other's grip was like iron pincers.
He didn't dare to move further and looked helplessly at Shen Qingqing.
Shen Qingqing's lips moved, and observing her husband's dark expression, she swallowed her words... Forget it, let him be. It was just applying gauze, after all...
But soon, she noticed Zhao Qian gritting his teeth, his face turning pale.
It was because Fu Jingshu was bandaging someone for the first time. If it were for his little wife, he would be gentle and careful, but for another man...
He had no restraint. He quickly finished bandaging and casually threw the gauze away.
Zhao Qian let out a sigh of relief.
Shen Qingqing watched with amusement and helplessness. She gently patted her husband, but it was like a lamb entering a tiger's den. He grabbed her small hand and, in front of Zhao Qian, kneaded it for a long while.
"Stop fooling around."
Shen Qingqing glanced at Zhao Qian, feeling somewhat awkward and shy.
Someone was here.
Unbeknownst to her, this glance made Fu Jingshu furious. He pulled her into his embrace, lifted her chin, and kissed her red lips.
The moment their lips touched, his anger dissipated.
But then he felt a small hand pushing him away. He immediately became displeased. Trying to escape? No way!
The two were lost in each other, while Zhao Qian beside them felt so embarrassed he wished he could sink into the ground. He considered leaving and saying goodbye, but clearly, neither of them had the time to attend to him.
By the time Shen Qingqing finally broke free from the passionate and intense kiss, Zhao Qian had already left at some unknown time.
She turned and pinched Fu Jingshu's waist.
"Don't do this in front of others again!" She had no habit of performing intimacy for others.
"Okay."
He would agree for now, but whether he could keep his word later...
That remained to be seen.
Fortunately, Shen Qingqing didn't know what her husband was thinking. Unhappy, she took out her phone. Her lip gloss had worn off, and they would be going down for dinner soon, so she planned to reapply it.
Her appearance was destined to shock everyone.
Just as she took out her lip gloss, there was a knock on the door.
