Chapter 328: A Loving Couple
Su Man gritted her teeth and although it was excruciatingly painful, she still held the cup tightly.
If it had really all been splashed, the extent and area of her burns would have been more than this.
“Manman!”
Qiao Shiyan came to find Su Man pushing a stroller and happened to see the scene just now.
He dragged the stroller a few steps forward and took the coffee cup from Su Man's burned hand. He then repeatedly checked the burned part of her body and asked, "Does it hurt?"
"It's okay. I'll go to the bathroom and take a cold shower later."
Qiao Shiyan felt extremely distressed, as if his precious treasure had been ruined. Besides worry, there was also a bit of anger on his handsome face.
Luo Yan crossed his arms, his upturned eyes filled with mockery and amusement as he watched coldly.
"You're not burned, are you? You'd better be careful when you walk. Bumping into someone is a small matter. If you burn yourself, our lawyer Qiao will be heartbroken."
Qiao Shiyan looked at Luo Yan without hiding his anger. It was clearly Luo Yan who bumped into him just now. Anyone with eyes could see what evil intentions he had.
"Just now, I clearly saw you, my sister-in-law, bump into Suman. Not only did you not apologize, but you also bit back. If you accidentally do something wrong, it is a virtue to have the courage to admit your mistakes. But if you act with malice, be careful of retribution."
While Qiao Shiyan was speaking, a figure appeared outside the door.
Su Man turned her head and the feeling of tightness in her heart suddenly came over her again.
Xiao Beisheng stood outside the coffee shop, his handsome face watching everything happening in the store with indifference.
He should be here to find Luo Yan.
After Qiao Shiyan finished speaking, he walked towards the three of them and asked, "What are you talking about so animatedly? Who did something bad and is facing retribution?"
Although he was greeting everyone, his face showed a cold look that looked down on everyone. He clearly came here to support Luo Yan.
Qiao Shiyan frowned and didn't answer Xiao Beisheng directly. Instead, he turned to the counter and asked the clerk, "Do you have ice here? My wife burned her hand on the coffee and needs an ice compress."
Xiao Beisheng glanced at Su Man's hand, which was bright red and a little swollen.
He had no expression, and his overly handsome face remained cold.
Luo Yan took Xiao Beisheng's arm and said, "I saw Su Man here just now, so I came over to chat with her. Who knew she would be so careless and burn herself? Qiao Lu must have been too concerned and blamed me right away."
Luo Yan turned to Su Man and said, "Oh, it's my fault too. I was blocking the way. If I apologize, you will feel better. So I will apologize."
She pretended to apologize to Su Man, but Xiao Beisheng stopped her in time, "It's not your fault, why are you apologizing?"
Luo Yan looked at Xiao Beisheng, then at Su Man, her eyes full of: My husband supports me.
Qiao Shiyan was furious. He turned around and was about to start a fight, but Su Man grabbed his hand just in time and reminded him, "The waiter has brought the ice."
Qiao Shiyan knew what she meant. They looked at each other and Qiao Shiyan's anger was calmed down by her.
Su Man was not someone who didn't know the current situation. She was destined to suffer losses in the matter of Luo Yan. She had realized it since the incident with the child.
From Chen Qing to Qiao Shiyan, anyone she cared about, as long as Luo Yan couldn't stand it, Xiao Beisheng would help her bully them.
All the losses she suffered before taught her a lesson.
When Su Man was alone, she could fight with eggs against stones. But now, she has someone she cares about, and all she can do is swallow her anger, avoid the spearhead, and protect the one she loves.
Qiao Shiyan went to the store clerk to get some ice and immediately applied it to Su Man.
The tenderness and love in his eyes were so subtle that everyone present could see it carefully. He also ignored other people's gazes, as if there was no one else around, only him and Su Man.
He pulled Su Man and sat down at a nearby seat. He held Su Man's burned hand and carefully applied an ice pack to it. While applying the ice, he gently blew air on the back of her hand. Occasionally, he looked up and asked Su Man how she was feeling, "Do you feel better? Do you need some ointment?"
Su Man was amused, "It's not that exaggerated."
"How can it be exaggerated? Shi Xin was burned by freshly brewed coffee before. The temperature had just reached boiling point. Her arm was burned and it was as red as yours at the time. She didn't care and just rinsed it off without any treatment. As a result, she got a big blister the next day and was in pain for more than a month."
Qiao Shiyan and Su Man acted as if no one was around.
Luo Yanding looked down on Su Man. Everyone she met before was a troublemaker, but she had the ability to deal with them. More importantly, she relied on Xiao Beisheng's favor.
Xiao Beisheng protects his people. Even if Luo Yan is in the wrong, Xiao Beisheng can turn black into white and make the other party the one in the wrong.
But now, he met Su Man, a weak and helpless punching bag who didn't react no matter how he prodded her.
It's really boring.
Luo Yan hooked her arm around Xiao Beisheng's and took him to her previous seat. "Would you like something to drink?"
"No."
"There's still quite a while before boarding. Can you hold on? You worked so hard last night and didn't get much sleep."
Luo Yan's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Su Man to hear.
Suman didn't react.
She concentrated on letting Qiao Shiyan apply ice to her. "It looks almost healed. There's no more stinging sensation like before. Is it okay now?"
"Apply it for a while longer. Don't take it lightly."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Oh, you're really miserable. You used to have to take care of Shi Xin, and now you have to take care of me. You must be worried about us all the time."
"I'm happy to worry. I'm happy to worry about you."
Su Man was originally just chatting with Qiao Shiyan, but she didn't expect Qiao Shiyan to suddenly show his affection. She was so embarrassed that the blood rushed to her face, and her cheeks and ears turned red.
At the table by the window, Xiao Beisheng's eyes shot over with a cold look.
Luo Yan also followed his gaze and looked towards Su Man and the others.
"Just now she said that she thinks I'm your soulmate and that she supports us a little bit." Luo Yan said to Xiao Beisheng with a smile, "Now, I also support them a lot."
Xiao Beisheng did not make any statement.
On the other side, Su Man and Qiao Shiyan were ready to leave.
Qiao Shiyan asked Su Man to sit in her seat. He went to the front desk and took the paper bags to pack the coffee. After packing, he came back and pushed the stroller. He was busy back and forth, getting everything done. Su Man just needed to sit there and do nothing, enjoying Qiao Shiyan's care.
After Su Man stood up, she took the initiative to put her arm around Qiao Shiyan.
This action made Qiao Shiyan's pupils tremble.
"Thank you for your hard work." The emotion in Su Man's eyes was calm, and more of it was gratitude.
Qiao Shiyan's fluctuating mind calmed down. He understood that Su Man was just expressing gratitude.
"It's not hard, it's worth it," he said.
However, from the perspective of others, they could not clearly see Su Man's expression, and they all thought that Su Man and Qiao Shiyan were a loving couple who respected and loved each other.
Su Man and Qiao Shiyan walked away arm in arm. Xiao Beisheng's eyes darkened. "Did Black Hawk respond?"
"Why are you so anxious? Didn't you manage to meet last night? I think the person who came was quite satisfied with you. After this time, you should be able to get the order for the transaction." Luo Yan picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip.
It's cold and tasteless.
