Fu Jue sat on the stool, gazing at Gu Qingqing in the dressing table mirror. Seeing the four parts tenderness and six parts pity in her eyes, he knew that she was very distressed for him.
Sure enough, as long as he pretended to be pitiful, she would soften her heart.
Gu Qingqing's body stiffened slightly, and she lowered her eyes, not daring to speak. The sensation from her hands made her so nervous that she dared not move. Her palms were warmed by Fu Jue's body temperature and his scent.
She applied the skin cream evenly to his back in just a minute. After she finished, she didn't even say goodbye, but covered her face, lowered her head, and ran out of his bedroom.
What to do? What to do?
After closing the door, Gu Qingqing didn't rush to leave. Instead, she leaned against a wall, lost in thought.
She placed her hand on her forehead and closed her eyes tightly.
Thinking about the process of applying skin cream to Fu Jue just now made her heart race, her face flush, and her body feel hot and restless.
She couldn't understand why she had suddenly changed so much.
Did he suddenly have a breakthrough overnight?
——
Fu Jue hadn't even had a day to be happy after returning home.
The next morning, the three Gu brothers arrived in Country X from China by private plane.
Naturally, it was because Gu Qingqing told them yesterday about her kidnapping and how Fu Jue was shot and injured while saving her.
This is outrageous!
When Gu Mu learned of this immediately, he was so angry that he cursed Fu Jue for an hour. Later, his throat hurt and his voice became hoarse, and he had to quiet down.
Gu Jin prepared his private jet in the shortest possible time. During this period, he still had to wait for the National Civil Aviation Administration to approve the flight route to Country X, otherwise he would not be able to fly the plane.
With Gu En also successfully obtaining leave from the national sports team, the three brothers didn't even pack their luggage and flew directly to Country X.
So when Fu Jue, who was having breakfast, saw Gu Jin and the others appear in front of him, he was so surprised that the slice of toast he was holding fell onto his plate.
"Big brother—"
"Second Brother—"
"Third Brother—"
Gu Qingqing, however, showed no surprise. Instead, she smiled with delight, put down the slice of toast in her hand, and rushed over to hug them.
"Qingqing—"
"Second brother misses you so much, Qingqing."
"My little Qingqing, your third brother misses you so much too."
The three Gu brothers rushed over and hugged her tightly, staging a touching scene of sibling reunion.
Seeing that she was healthy and safe, they were finally able to put their worries to rest.
On the way, they were all thinking that if she got hurt, they would definitely not let Fu Jue off easily.
Although she did not clearly explain the whole process and origin of the kidnapping over the phone, they knew that the suspect in the kidnapping was definitely not targeting her, a young girl.
She had just arrived in Country X; where would she find the opportunity to offend anyone?
So that leaves Fu Jue, a dangerous individual.
They knew beforehand that Fu Jue brought her to Country X because of an assassination attempt. When they asked him to send her back to China, he had solemnly promised to protect her, but the incident happened in less than half a month.
Therefore, this time they are not prepared to forgive Fu Jue, nor will they believe his nonsense about being able to protect her.
"Qingqing, tell your second brother honestly, are you hurt? Did Fu Jue protect you well?"
Gu Mu gently pressed down on her arms and looked her up and down. Only when he saw that her bare hands and feet had no wounds did he feel completely relieved.
He wouldn't let Fu Jue off the hook, not even for a scratch.
"Second brother, I'm not injured, don't worry."
Gu Qingqing clenched her hands, where there were two abrasions.
Fortunately, the wound was not deep or large, and it healed quickly. It scabbed over and fell off in just a few days. However, there was still a slight difference: there were traces of new flesh growing over the wound, which could still be seen if you looked closely.
She didn't want Gu Mu and the others to be sad, nor did she want them to worry about her, nor did she want them to make things difficult for Fu Jue.
"Qingqing, let your third brother take a look." Gu En noticed her little movements and strange expression, so he grabbed one of her hands, pried open her tightly clenched fingers, and saw a particularly tender patch of new flesh in her palm.
It looks like it was recently injured and is now healing and the flesh is tender.
He often gets injured during training and has a good understanding of wound healing.
"Third Brother, I'm really fine." She tried her best to pull her left hand away, but he held it tightly.
There was no way to avoid him.
"You still say you're not injured? What is this? Don't try to fool me with any excuses." Gu En got angry and pulled her other hand to look at it, but the result was the same.
"Look at you, both your hands are injured? How long are you going to keep lying to us?"
"Third Brother, no, that's not it."
"Let me see." Gu Mu was both nervous and angry, and he took Gu Qingqing's hand to examine her carefully.
Gu Jin was more composed; he didn't keep looking at her, but instead focused his gaze on Fu Jue.
"I'm sorry, I didn't protect her well." Fu Jue left his seat and came to Gu Jin to apologize to them sincerely.
This kidnapping was indeed because he failed to protect her.
"Fu Jue, from now on, stay three meters away from my sister. Nothing good will come of getting close to you." Gu Mu glared at Fu Jue, her voice filled with anger.
Although her injury wasn't very noticeable, it still pained him deeply.
From childhood to adulthood, she was always pampered and cherished.
Even a large mosquito bite will make them sad for a while.
Besides, her hands are now bleeding from cuts and scrapes.
She was injured less than half a month after being handed over to Fu Jue. If she had stayed for a month, half a year, or a year, wouldn't she have been injured all over her body?
He couldn't continue thinking about it, because just the thought that she might get hurt caused him great pain.
