Jiang Xue stared wide-eyed and peeked out. She saw Ji Chen washing his face with cold water by the pool. She frowned.
Could it be that this guy really dislikes the smell of safflower oil?
As Jiang Xue tidied up the mess on the table, she noticed that there were still some water droplets on Ji Chen's sharply defined face.
Jiang Xue casually handed Ji Chen a dry towel, "If you don't like the smell of safflower oil, you don't need to help me apply the medicine tomorrow."
Ji Chen frowned and said, "I don't dislike it."
Jiang Xue looked up at Ji Chen with a puzzled expression. Ji Chen, who was a head taller than her, gave her a strong sense of pressure.
When Ji Chen washed his face, he wet his shirt. The shirt, clinging to his skin, accentuated his strong and powerful physique.
Jiang Xue pursed her lips; this tough guy truly captured her heart...
A long, indescribable scene flashed through my mind.
"Are you looking at me like that? I don't dislike it, I was just... hot... too hot." Ji Chen suppressed the heat in his heart and gave a forced explanation.
Jiang Xue swallowed hard and blinked her bright eyes at Ji Chen.
"Oh." She quickly went back to her work. She had come to ask him something, but she had gotten all flustered.
Ji Chen stood there, watching Jiang Xue walk away, muttering something to herself and pounding her head.
"Your head hurts too?" Ji Chen asked, puzzled.
Jiang Xue turned around, revealing a smile that looked more like a grimace. "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. I was just playing around with it."
“I’ll take care of the child. You’re injured, so you should rest.” Ji Chen took the bowl from Jiang Xue’s hand.
Jiang Xue pursed her lips. "Alright then, I'll come when I'm feeling better."
Ji Chen didn't bother with Jiang Xue; he knew that this girl always tried to completely distance herself from him.
Jiang Xue returned to her room, lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep without a care in the world.
Ji Chen walked in and saw that Jiang Xue had kicked off the blanket. He carefully bent down and tucked the blanket back in for her.
Jiang Xue, who is never a restless sleeper, kicked out and almost hit Ji Chen in the face.
Ji Chen frowned, "If you sleep like this, who would want you after the divorce?"
As he finished speaking and got up to leave, a faint smile appeared on his face.
The morning dew gradually became heavier.
Jiang Xue had just finished washing up when she saw Gu Xiaohei driving up in his pickup truck.
Good morning, sister-in-law.
"Hello to you too." Jiang Xue had no strength at all. Although she had washed her face, she still couldn't open her eyes.
“Yesterday afternoon I was called to the police station again, and then you know what happened, I found out that Liu Daxing had been arrested, hahaha…” Gu Xiaohei grinned, showing off his big white teeth, and laughed heartily.
"Arrested?" Jiang Xue looked dejected, because things didn't turn out as she had expected—no torture or conviction.
“It wasn’t just that he was arrested. You’re not kidding, he was beaten nearly a hundred times with a stun gun by the police. When I saw him, his face was bruised and swollen, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth.”
Gu Xiaohei's eyes lit up as he said, "They probably interrogated him as a suspect. The knuckles on his fingers were scraped raw, and the blood was quite disgusting."
Jiang Xue's eyes widened instantly, staring like saucers as she pressed, "Has he been sentenced yet?"
"Sentencing? How could they not sentence him? They said he harassed a respectable woman and had illicit sexual relations. I estimate he'll get at least ten years in prison."
Jiang Xue perked up even more. "Ten years?" That's not right. This doesn't match her knowledge at all. And having illicit relationships with men and women? It's already the late 1980s. There's no way the sentence would be that heavy.
