Qiao Xuan's eyes widened, and she froze in place. Shao Yunduan leaned in and tenderly kissed her lips. It was as if he was concerned that the handprint on her face might cause her pain, so he kissed her with utmost care and gentleness.
He pressed his cool lips against hers and then released her.
Qiao Xuan's cheeks turned crimson.
She lowered her head, unable to et his gaze. It was such a humiliating situation! A surprise attack! It felt improper!
Observing her head lowered, her ears tinged with a blush, and her neck adorned with a faint layer of redness, Shao Yunduan felt a sense of satisfaction. So his wife could beco shy so easily? What would she do in the future?
As he pondered this, a burning sensation surged in his heart.
Recalling the tenderness of their kiss, Shao Yunduan's eyes narrowed. He grasped Qiao Xuan's hands and spoke softly, "You mustn't behave like this anymore. I won't allow it."
Shao Yunduan was consud by anger, thinking about how Qiao Xuan could have evaded Qiao Hongxi's slap. She wouldn't have been subjected to such a harsh blow from him.
But she didn't even attempt to dodge it. It was as if she purposely let herself be slapped.
Qiao Xuan was taken aback. She turned to face him.
Shao Yunduan grew exasperated, yet he couldn't help but chuckle. He pinched her cheeks gently. "You have to stay away from doing that!"
Qiao Xuan blinked and averted her gaze, offering a smile. "Oh, you caught ! I was planning to dodge it, but I thought getting slapped would make it more convincing!"
Shao Yunduan remained silent as he gazed at her.
Qiao Xuan was quickly defeated. "Alright, alright, I'll dodge it next ti!"
"I don't need your pity. I don't need your pity anymore!" Qiao Xuan exclaid, her voice filled with determination.
Qiao Xuan's words ward her heart. She nodded in acknowledgnt. "Understood!"
Despite her inner happiness, when she smiled, she inadvertently moved the corner of her mouth too much, causing a twinge of pain from her wound. Shao Yunduan, who had been smiling back at her, grew alard once again. "Does it hurt? Just endure it a little longer! Songshi, why are you driving so slowly? Hurry!"
With urgency, Shao Yunduan guided Qiao Xuan into the clinic, calling out for a doctor. His anxious tone startled the doctor, who assud a highly important patient had arrived, and greeted them with utmost seriousness.
However, upon seeing Shao Yunduan's request for a diagnosis of Qiao Xuan's facial injury, the doctor beca tongue-tied. He glared at him and muttered, "It's just a superficial wound, isn't it? Take a bottle of ointnt ho, apply it a few tis, and there won't be any trace left. What's the point of making a fuss?"
Shao Yunduan couldn't believe it. "Is that really enough? Look at her swollen face, it's a serious injury. Shouldn't you prescribe additional dicine?"
The doctor glared back. "…"
Feeling humiliated, Qiao Xuan kicked Shao Yunduan and spoke to the doctor. "Just ignore him. He's intoxicated and speaking nonsense. Please give us so ointnt."
Shao Yunduan was about to say sothing when Qiao Xuan shot him a glare, silencing him.
Yet, she still felt nervous as she observed Qiao Xuan.
