Chapter 18 Applying Medicine



Xia Wan took the elevator to the sixth floor.

The extremely long corridor made her feel instantly unfamiliar and confused by the word 6066.

How many rooms are there on this floor?

This cruise ship is the largest and most luxurious in Lincheng, with 130 rooms on each deck.

There were no signs outside the elevator, so Xia Wan had to search for the elevator one room at a time according to the room numbers.

We finally found room 6066.

She was panting as she prepared to knock on the door, but the door suddenly opened.

Zuo Cheng, carrying a medicine box, met Xia Wan's eyes, who was still raising her hand.

Xia Wan raised the corners of her mouth, changed her knocking hand into a waving hand, and was about to greet Zuo Cheng in a friendly manner.

The door was closed the next second.

The wind as the door closed whipped up the stray hairs on her forehead and splashed all over her face.

Did I go to the wrong room?

Xia Wan fixed her hair and first glanced at the house number with self-doubt.

6066.

That's right!

Why does Cui Ziqi's assistant close the door whenever she sees her?

Still in a panic?

Were those two men doing something shady inside?

Xia Wan's eyes widened.

No way! Cui Ziqi belongs to her!

She quickly raised her hand and banged on the door, striking a pose just like Aunt Xue.

"Cui Ziqi! Open the door! I know you're in there! Open the door!"

She knocked for a short while before the door opened.

Cui Ziqi appeared at the door, wearing the same black trench coat she had just seen. Her short, shiny black hair was parted in a three-seven split, with a few strands of black hair falling across her forehead. Beneath her hair were sharp eyebrows and eyes that revealed a hint of impatience.

What are you doing here?

How did she get up here without an invitation?

Having been ignored for three days, Xia Wan felt a surge of anger rising within her when faced with his icy expression.

"I can come whenever I want!"

She pushed against Cui Ziqi's chest and forced her way into the room.

Cui Ziqi frowned slightly when she touched him, then slowly smoothed it out.

Xia Wan then scanned the suite as if on patrol.

Zuo Cheng stood in front of the sofa, holding a black briefcase in his hand.

The room was tidy and not messy at all.

The window was open, and the white gauze curtains swayed in the breeze, filling the entire room with the scent of the sea.

Xia Wan looked at Zuo Cheng with a puzzled expression, "Why do I remember you just carrying a medicine box?"

Zuo Cheng quickly shook his head.

"Sister-in-law, you've got it wrong. I'm here to report on the work progress to the boss."

"What are you shouting about?"

Following behind Xia Wan, Cui Ziqi heard Zuo Cheng's address as soon as she entered and coldly reprimanded him.

Zuo Cheng quickly said, "Miss Xia."

"I'm not called Miss Xia, I'm called Sister-in-law, please call me that from now on."

"Xia Wan!" Cui Ziqi scolded in a low voice, "Can't you be a little more reserved?"

Xia Wan turned to look at Cui Ziqi, her eyebrows curving into two glowing moons, the glitter around her eyes sparkling brightly, making it impossible to look away.

She grabbed Cui Ziqi's arm.

"If I were more reserved, wouldn't I never be able to win over my husband?"

"Xia Wan!"

"I'm here, stop calling me, okay, be good."

Cui Ziqi was speechless, his ears turning a deep purplish-red, and his drooping eyelashes flashed with annoyance and embarrassment.

She blushed with just a gentle tease.

Xia Wan found it somewhat amusing.

Zuo Cheng, who was standing to the side, felt a bit of toothache and quickly said something to the two of them.

"Boss, sister-in-law, I'm going out now. I'll be outside. Call me if you need anything."

Before he finished speaking, he had already disappeared through the doorway.

Cui Ziqi pulled his arm away from Xia Wan's grasp.

He looked at her unhappily, "You'd better have something to do!"

Xia Wan pouted, "You haven't answered my calls for three days. I thought you had disappeared."

She lowered her head, deliberately lowered her voice, and looked very aggrieved.

It was the first time Cui Ziqi had seen her like this, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

"I...have something to do." A very stiff explanation.

"Can't you even answer the phone when something's wrong? Even if you were busy at the time, why didn't you call back or reply to my texts afterwards? Do you think I'm annoying and want to abandon me?"

Cui Ziqi was about to retort, but Xia Wan didn't give him a chance to speak.

"It's no use arguing. I've already shamelessly moved into your house, so you have to take responsibility for me! And I'll be clinging to you every day from now on, so you'd better get used to it!"

Cui Ziqi, who was about to retort: ​​...

He could actually be annoyed by her too.

Xia Wan pulled him to sit on the sofa, her gaze sweeping across the entire room once more.

Finally, her gaze settled on the wardrobe.

She went straight to the wardrobe, opened the door, and took out a first-aid kit from the bottom drawer.

This is the one that Zuo Cheng was carrying at the door of the room just now.

A look of surprise flashed across Cui Ziqi's eyes as he watched Xia Wan approach with a first-aid kit, just about to speak.

Xia Wan said in a commanding tone, "Take off your clothes."

Cui Ziqi instinctively clenched his clothes and looked at her warily.

What are you going to do?

“Of course it’s for applying medicine.” Xia Wan said matter-of-factly. “Are you going to take it off or not? If not, I’ll take it off for you.”

Xia Wan was about to make her move when Cui Ziqi quickly and obediently took off her trench coat.

He was wearing a black shirt underneath, the buttons conservatively fastened up to near his neck.

Cui Ziqi paused in his unbuttoning, then caught a glimpse of Xia Wan reaching out, and quickly resumed unbuttoning.

Buttons were undone one by one, from top to bottom.

At the beginning, as Cui Ziqi's fair and bony fingers slid down, her fair and taut collarbone was revealed.
