Chapter 245 "You don't need to say sorry to anyone."

Li Yansheng applied the medicine on her arm and said, "I brought it from home. I left it in the car and didn't take it down."

Hearing this, Lin Shutang said nothing more. He just watched quietly as Li Yansheng applied the ointment to him. He was very patient, applying a little pressure to ensure that the ointment was evenly spread.

The cool, minty smell of medicine spread out.

Lin Shutang applied the lotion on her neck herself. When Li Yansheng was applying it on her right hand, she rubbed a little bit on it with her left hand.

When he applied it to the scratched skin, there was a slight sting. Lin Shutang couldn't help but groan: "Hiss, it hurts."

She tried to pull her hand back, but her wrist was held tightly. Li Yansheng didn't use much force, and Lin Shutang didn't feel any pain, but she just couldn't pull her hand away.

Then, the tip of Lin Shutang's nose was scratched.

Looking at the girl who squinted her eyes and shrank back, Li Yansheng smiled faintly and said, "She's spoiled."

This wasn't the first time Lin Shutang had heard Li Yansheng say this about him, so he said, "Do you dislike me like this?"

As she said this, her eyes were fixed on Li Yansheng.

Li Yansheng: "What do you think?"

The ending tone of Ci Chen's voice rose, and although the speaking speed was still as slow as usual, Lin Shutang inexplicably felt that there was some meaningless meaning in it.

Realizing this, she suddenly felt a little surprised.

He usually behaved like a calm and composed boss, so it was rare to see him like this. Or perhaps, he had been like this before, but she hadn't noticed.

…

Li Yansheng put down the ointment and came out of the bathroom after washing his hands. He saw the person beside the bed in a daze. "What are you thinking about?"

Lin Shutang came back to his senses: "Nothing."

Thinking of the doctor's words, Li Yansheng was worried that the little girl was hiding something, so he walked over, held her in his arms, kissed her gently, and then asked, "Are you worried about something?"

Lin Shutang's pupils shrank slightly. She couldn't help but think about what happened before. She couldn't help but think that maybe it was because of her that her parents got into the car accident.

However, when they went out to play, she didn't want to affect Li Yansheng's mood, so she never showed it. She thought she had concealed it well, but she didn't expect that he would still notice it.

So, he said, "I'm sorry, I may need a little more time."

Her voice was choked and intermittent as she spoke her apology. Her eyes did not evade him as before, but instead looked up at him. Under the warm yellow light, tears of guilt shone in her eyes.

Li Yansheng put one arm around her waist and the other hand on the back of her head, and said slowly: "You did nothing wrong."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and gently touched her face with his lips, wiping away the tear. Then, he moved his lips upwards again, finally, gently landing on her eyelashes.

This went on for a few seconds. Li Yansheng pecked her lips again before putting some distance between them. He then continued with his previous words, "You don't need to apologize to anyone."

"But you finally came out, and I let you down." This time, Lin Shutang lowered his head after he finished speaking. He was full of apology, like a child who had done something wrong.

Li Yansheng said, "If you're unhappy and I don't notice it, or if I notice it but it doesn't affect me at all, that's not normal. Do you understand what I mean?"

When Li Yansheng said this, he gently stroked the back of Lin Shutang's head with the tip of his thumb, gently, bringing a soothing feeling.

Lin Shutang never expected to hear such an answer. She nodded: "I understand."

Yes, if Li Yansheng couldn't notice her mood changes, or if his mood was not affected by her at all, it meant that he didn't care about her at all.
