Beiming Han rushed Gu Qingxin back to her room before hastily leaving, presumably to deal with the aftermath of the ambush.
Unsure how to face him, she decided to play unconscious.
Gu Qingxin entered the walk-in closet, picked out a very conservative pure cotton pajamas, then bathed briefly in the bathroom of her room. When she came out with her hair dried, Bai Jingqing was already waiting inside the bedroom.
Seeing her, he smiled and said, “Big brother asked me to check on you, to see if you’re injured anywhere?”
“Just a few minor scrapes, nothing serious.” Gu Qingxin quickly waved off his concern.
“Please sit down. You know my brother’s temper. If I don’t examine you properly, he won’t let me off.”
Gu Qingxin,”…”
That certainly sounded like Beiming Ilan’s high-handed and unreasonable style.
Gu Qingxin sat on the bed while Bai Jingqing gave her an examination. He found several scrapes on her arm, thankfully none too severe.
“Any other injuries? Like on your back?”
Mention of her back reminded Gu Qingxin of how she had spun off the car wearing a single layer of gauze, courtesy of Beiming Han, which promptly flushed her cheeks. She didn’t know if Ye Qi had seen it!
Seeing it would be so embarrassing!
“No!” Her answer was very direct.
“Why is your face red? Is your fever not gone yet?”
“No, I just took a hot bath.”
“Let’s check your temperature anyway.” Bai Jingqing brought out a thermometer.
Gu Qingxin,”…”
After checking her, Bai Jingqing returned to the study. Huangfu Ye was applying medicine to Beiming Han’s scrape on his back.
“What’s her condition?” Beiming Han asked with a frown.
“A scrape on the arm, I’ve treated it. She wouldn’t let me see her back, so I presume there’s an injury there too.” Bai Jingqing stated matter-of-factly.
“What? You wanted to see her back!” Beiming Han jumped up, his gaze could’ve devoured him.
“No, no… I just wanted to… As a doctor, it’s natural for me to check on the patient. It’s not like I…She wouldn’t let me!” Bai Jingqing hastily retorted, feeling the tough burden of his profession.
“Big brother, lie back down, I haven’t finished applying the medicine.” Huangfu Ye pleaded.
Beiming Han,”…”
Beiming Han’s phone rang. He glanced at it, sat up from the couch and answered, “Hello.”
“You were ambushed? Do you know who it was?”
A calm male voice came through.
“Not yet, I’ve sent people to look into it. Should have results in half an hour.”
“Are you hurt?”
“I’m not dead yet! You can rest assured, they won’t threaten anyone else from the Beiming Family!” contemporary romance
Beiming Han’s tone was icy cold.
After a silence of two seconds, the other party continued, “I heard you have a lady with you recently.”
Beiming Han’s hand holding the phone noticeably tightened. A cold glint flashed in his eyes while his tone remained nonchalant, “Can’t 1 have a woman?”
“Just reminding you not to forget who you are, you belong to the Beiming Family, and your marriage has already been arranged.”
“She’s nothing more than a warm bed.”
“It’s best if it’s so… Clean up this matter and remember to cut off all loose ends.”
The other party ended the call.
Beiming Han hung up and turned just in time to see Gu Qingxin standing at the door.. His brows furrowed immediately, his first thought was, did she hear everything he had just said?
