She was held in his embrace, fragile like a newborn baby, but the nurous scars added a shocking layer of pain to her baby-soft skin.
"I would let anyone see, just not you!" Bei Ran retorted angrily at him.
Gu Qingchen stabilized her by the shoulders with one hand, allowing her to be fully exposed to his gaze, within his embrace. "Are you still angry about Ji Su? Bei Ran, I’ve said before, the past between her and had never involved the feelings you imagined. Why won’t you believe ? Why are you being so stubborn about this?"
"Look at you now, you’re injured, and yet you still don’t want !" Gu Qingchen looked at her with heartache, "Bei Ran, it pains to see you hurt because of . It’s just that n and won view feelings differently. I cared about your attitude towards Tang Baijin because you really loved him before you t ! But I didn’t! I never loved Ji Su, not from the start to the end! To , she’s just Gu Yucheng’s wife, that’s all!"
"Then why didn’t you tell about it earlier?" Bei Ran’s eyes filled with tears as she looked at him, "Why are you only willing to tell all this now?"
Gu Qingchen reached out to wipe the tears from her face: "I admit, I wanted to know how much you care about ! All this ti, our relationship has been like a gamble, and you suddenly left without a word last ti. Bei Ran, do you have any idea how frantically I searched for you when you disappeared! I felt that you didn’t trust , that you didn’t care about the four years we’ve been together, I used Ji Su to test your feelings for . But, I never expected you to refuse my company even when you’re injured—baby, be good, stop making a fuss..."
"What did you just call ?" Bei Ran was taken aback.
"Baby..." His voice was husky, "In my life, you are my baby..."
Bei Ran’s tears fell like a string of broken pearls.
She was his baby!
Could she really be the unchanging love of his life?
"Don’t cry anymore..." He consoled her while wiping away her tears, yet she cried even more brokenly!
"Gu Qingchen, the Gu Family patriarch still has a wife picked out for you! I’m not your baby..." Bei Ran pouted with a sense of injustice!
"Indeed, there was a dinner party tonight, Deputy Mayor Shen and Miss Shen’s, but I didn’t even glance at Miss Shen before coming back to you!" Gu Qingchen looked at her, "No matter who the old Gu man arranges for , I won’t marry anyone else. I will only marry you..."
"Oh, their daughter is the deputy mayor’s precious girl..." Bei Ran let out a soft sigh, "Old man Gu really knows how to sche, ensuring that your business path will be smooth sailing..."
"Am I the kind of man who climbs up using a woman?" Gu Qingchen pulled her ear gently, "Is this what you think of ? Besides, I’ll have to go back to the hospital sooner or later..."
"In any case, my rival is very powerful!" Bei Ran frowned.
Gu Qingchen held her close again in his arms, "I’ll stand by your side! Let see your injuries, let apply dication for you!"
"I can do it myself..." Bei Ran looked at him, "If you treat like this again, I’ll never bother with you for the rest of my life!"
"Aren’t you always clever, can’t you see that I don’t love Ji Su?" Gu Qingchen took a towel to dry her hair.
"In front of love, many people turn into fools, and into lunatics, included!" Bei Ran felt that she couldn’t escape the fate of love either.
Gu Qingchen used a hair clip to secure her hair on top of her head, "In love, you can fuss with , you can go mad with , but you cannot hide your injuries from !"
"Who do you love then?" Bei Ran heard him admit that he did not love Ji Su.
"Of course, I love you!" Gu Qingchen gazed intently at her.
"But the way you tested my feelings is despicable, and I still don’t want to forgive you!" Bei Ran said angrily.
Looking at her angry expression, Gu Qingchen asked, "What do you want then?"
"If a cup and water fell in love, would you prefer to be the cup or the water?" Bei Ran asked him.
"Won are like water, so let be the cup." Gu Qingchen looked at her sideways.
Bei Ran said, "The cup was lonely and empty, then boiling water was poured into it, creating a passionate feeling that represents falling in love; but the water’s temperature drops gradually, just like passion fading after fervent love, yet it’s very comfortable, which is like the tranquil flow of life when living together. Over ti, as the water cools down, life enters an indifferent era, the cup wants the water to boil again, so it sits in the sun to warm up, but then the wind seizes the opportunity and infiltrates, and finally, the water is poured out and the cup breaks. In the end, each broken piece of the cup still has droplets on it, with the cup always insisting that it loved the water, yet only when shattered does it realize what it treasured. Gu Qingchen, Ji Su is like the wind; by using her, she could also destroy our relationship!"
"I apologize for this matter!" Gu Qingchen held her small hand, "Baby, as you said, in the realm of love, so go crazy, so act foolishly, just consider it as if I went mad, that’s why I used such an awful thod, okay?"
"I can’t figure it out now, you should leave!" Bei Ran looked at him, "Once I figure it out, maybe then I’ll forgive you!"
A hurt look flashed in Gu Qingchen’s eyes, "I’ll show you my injuries, then leave!"
"I’ve said it, I don’t want you to see!" Bei Ran withdrew her hand.
Right after she spoke, Gu Qingchen scooped her up in one arm and returned to the bedroom, where they tumbled onto the bed together.
When it ca to patience, Gu Qingchen had never been so patient with any other woman!
She had been injured today, and he had long been holding himself back!
But with her still being so defiant, he truly beca angry!
"What are you doing?" Bei Ran saw him tearing the bedsheet and imdiately tried to get up.
Gu Qingchen didn’t speak, his large hands tore the sheet into four pieces, then tied her hands and feet to each corner of the bed.
"Gu Qingchen, do you really have to be such a jerk?" Bei Ran struggled without success, looking like a little turtle wriggling on the bedsheets.
"It’s no use talking!" Gu Qingchen turned and went to the bathroom to get a dical kit.
His large hand pressed on her shoulder, disinfecting and applying dicine, his slightly calloused fingers moving drop by drop over her wounds.
Bei Ran naturally resisted, as he was treating her in such a rough manner!
When his hand pressed down on her shoulder, the force was imnse.
Yet, when his fingers sared dicine on her scars, they were so gentle.
"Gu Qingchen, I hate you!" Bei Ran’s body couldn’t move, but her mouth still could talk.
Gu Qingchen turned a deaf ear, continuing from her shoulder, drop by drop, ticulously moving his finger pads with faint calluses across her skin.
"Gu Qingchen, you’re bullying !" Bei Ran continued to speak non-stop.
Gu Qingchen silently accepted it, thinking, so what if I bully you? I plan to bully you for a lifeti anyway!
"Mmm, once you’re healed and there are no scars left, I can enjoy bullying you for a lifeti!" Gu Qingchen’s gaze remained on the scars on her back as he uttered those words.
Although his words seed to be in direct opposition, the pain in his gaze made his eyes as deep as the Aegean Sea, tightening more and more.
Bei Ran snorted and then continued, "Gu Qingchen, have you ever loved anyone?"
"You!" He answered her readily.
"Anyone else?" Bei Ran gossiped about his private life.
He: "Yes!"
Bei Ran’s heart sank: "Who?"
He: "My mom!"
Get out of here! He’s deliberately teasing her!
Bei Ran huffed a few tis, "Are you also going to say little fishes or sothing?"
"If you already know, why ask!" Gu Qingchen did not lift his head, continuing to apply dicine to her lower back.
As Gu Qingchen applied the dicine, a spark of desire flickered in his eyes. She was his woman, and it had been so long since he had touched her!
"Darling..."
Bei Ran felt his breath, and the warmth of his lips, she shuddered slightly!
"Gu Qingchen, looking at the ’Impressionist’ painting on my back, you still have the mood to kiss ?" Bei Ran turned her head to look at him.
Gu Qingchen raised his head, locking eyes with her: "Whether it’s ’Impressionist’? Or ’Ink and Wash’? To , you are always my darling! I kiss your wounds, feeling your pain, sharing your agony."
Intense emotions, pressing in with each of his advances.
Her resistance, under the strong and passionate assault, was crumbling.
He was just kissing her!
Yeah, only like this will she behave!
"Sleep now," he whispered softly.
Bei Ran couldn’t escape his embrace, and at this mont, she was too weak to exert any strength anyway.
And besides, too much had happened today.
She quickly fell into a drowsy sleep.
But Gu Qingchen wasn’t sleepy at all; he held her in his arms, feeling her frown in her dreams, murmuring inaudible words.
