Chapter 37: If you don't want to cover her, then don't cover her. Why wrap her up like this?
When Ji Huaishen walked out of the police station holding Wen Duo, the rain had stopped.
The evening breeze blew in with a damp air, and Wen Duo shivered slightly in his arms.
"Cold?" Ji Huaishen noticed it immediately and tightened his arms a little.
Wenduo shook her head, her fingers unconsciously tugging at the front of his soaked shirt.
The fabric was cold and sticky, but it couldn't hide the burning body temperature coming from underneath.
"Put me down, I can walk on my own."
Ji Huaishen pretended not to hear and walked straight towards the black Maybach parked on the side of the road.
The driver had already opened the car door and was waiting. Seeing this, he immediately handed over the cashmere blanket he had prepared.
He took the blanket, covered Wen Duo with it, and carefully put Wen Duo into the back seat, but did not let go of her hand. Instead, he sat in the back seat with her in the same position, letting Wen Duo half lie in his arms.
The cabin was filled with a mixed smell of leather and rain.
Wen Duo could feel Ji Huaishen's chest heaving violently, and his heartbeat could be heard through the wet and cold clothes, fast and heavy.
Wen Duo looked up at Ji Huaishen's wet clothes, then looked at the blanket on herself and struggled to lift it off.
Ji Huaishen held down her thrashing wrist, his voice unquestionable:
"Don't move, you'll be cold."
Wen Duo pursed her lips, and suddenly, she deftly stretched out a hand from the edge of the blanket and quickly placed a corner of the blanket on Ji Huaishen's shoulder.
"You'll be cold too. This blanket is big. Let's cover it together."
"I don't need it." Ji Huaishen frowned and wrapped the blanket around her again.
"But--"
"No buts."
He interrupted her and wrapped the blanket around her tighter, "I have a better physique than you."
But Wen Duo stubbornly grabbed the edge of the blanket, and the two started a silent battle in the back seat of the car.
Finally, Ji Huaishen sighed and quickly wrapped Wen Duo tightly in a blanket like a "caterpillar", leaving only a small face the size of a palm exposed.
Wen Duo: “…”
If you don't want to cover her, then don't cover her. Why wrap her up like this?
Wen Duo gave up struggling and leaned quietly on his chest.
Through the car window, the halo of the street lamps spread across the street after the rain, like spilled paint.
She remembered Ji Huaishen’s bloody fist and the terrifying brutality in his eyes at the police station just now.
The president of Ji Group, who was always dressed in a suit and meticulous, could actually lose control to that extent.
He seemed to really like himself.
........
When the car drove into the villa area, Wen Duo was already a little drowsy.
The exhaustion after the shock swept over her, and she curled up in Ji Huaishen's arms like a tired cat, with the scent of rain and blood mixed on his body lingering on her nose.
She did not feel uncomfortable, but rather felt at ease.
It was not until he entered the villa from outside that the warm breath made Wen Duo open his eyes.
"Home..."
Wen Duo moved in his arms, her voice soft and sticky:
"You can let me down now."
Ji Huaishen's arms remained motionless, holding it silently.
Wen Duo blinked, not understanding what Ji Huaishen meant.
He was like a statue, silent, hugging her.
"Ji Huaishen, you can't just stand here."
She struggled to get a hand out from under the blanket and gently poked his chest with her fingertips:
"We're all soaked and need to change clothes."
This sentence finally made the man react.
He lowered his head, his obsidian eyes filled with emotions that Wen Duo could not understand.
Only then did she notice that his eyelashes were still wet, whether it was from the rain or something else.
A drop of water hung on his long eyelashes, about to fall.
Wen Duo reached out her hand as if possessed by a demon, and gently rubbed the drop of water with her thumb.
The moment the fingertips touched his eyelids, Ji Huaishen's pupils suddenly contracted and his Adam's apple rolled.
"you......"
Wen Duo was about to speak when Ji Huaishen suddenly took a step forward, carried her straight through the living room and up the stairs.
His steps were so fast and urgent that Wen Duo had to shut up and hold his neck carefully to prevent herself from falling.
Ji Huaishen held her in his arms and walked all the way to the bathroom door before stopping and putting her down.
Just as Wen Duo was about to go in, she turned around and saw Ji Huaishen staring at her, with no intention of leaving.
Wen Duo sighed helplessly:
"You're wet too, go take a shower, or you'll catch a cold."
"If you go in, I'll go." His voice was low and stubborn.
Wen Duo knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she had to compromise and push open the bathroom door.
Just as the door was about to close, she saw through the gap that Ji Huaishen was still standing there, staring at her with burning eyes, as if she would disappear in the blink of an eye.
She leaned against the door and waited for a while, but there was no sound of footsteps outside.
Wen Duo quietly pushed the door open a crack.
Ji Huaishen was still standing there, without even changing his posture.
"Didn't you say that you would leave if I went in?" Wen Duo glared at him angrily.
Ji Huaishen's eyes lingered on her face, his voice hoarse:
"You take a shower, and I'll leave."
Wen Duo: “….”
I don't know what he's planning, but it's definitely not a good idea.
Wen Duo snorted, closed the door, ignored him, and went straight into the bathroom.
...........
The sound of water in the bathroom stopped.
Wen Duo stood in front of the misty mirror and gently wiped away the moisture on the mirror with her fingertips.
The girl in the mirror had a bath-flushed cheek and her hair was still dripping with water.
She put on her pajamas, took a deep breath, and pushed open the bathroom door.
The scene outside the door made her breath stop.
Ji Huaishen was leaning against the wall, his dark blue silk pajamas outlining his broad shoulders and narrow waist.
His hair was dripping wet, leaving a dark streak at his collar.
It looked like it had been washed in a hurry.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he immediately straightened up, his obsidian eyes locked on her, with emotions surging in them that Wen Duo could not understand.
