章 42: Look After Your Woman!
編集者: Atlas Studios
Sheng Yuchen's heart sank, and pain flashed across his eyes. He felt as if his entire being was being robbed of substance, his body empty.
Mu Chuqing's smile was akin to a knife, slowly peeling his skin off layer by layer.
Su Yuan stood aside, watching the scene unfold, her heart comforted slightly.
Turning her head slightly, she viewed with a mocking gaze at the couple who were glued together, looking like one entity. She gave a cold laugh, her voice was high-pitched. "Chuqing, I've never known how to describe the difference between good people and bad people to you, but now I know. Good people will be Senior Yian and me, scumbags will be… Ah, I know now!"
When Su Yuan said the word "scumbag", she did not specify the names, but pointed at Sheng Yuchen and Chang Chu's direction with her chin, tactfully rolling her eyes at them.
This made the duo's actions even more ridiculously funny though nothing was said.
Mu Chuqing smiled and gave Su Yuan a mock glare.
After he finished bandaging Mu Chuqing's wound, Gu Yian turned around to Su Yuan and asked, "Did you get hurt?"
Surprised yet flattered, Su Yuan casually waved her hands before saying, "Don't worry, Senior Yian. I'm fine! After all, I was merely dealing with a white lotus."
Hearing Su Yuan's words, Chang Chu gritted her teeth and hid in Sheng Yuchen's embrace, never raising her head.
Su Yuan rolled her eyes before walking to Mu Chuqing's side. She held her wrist and said, "Let's go, I feel more conflicted than going to a grave when seeing some people."
Mu Chuqing stood up and walked in front as Su Yuan pulled her along.
Gu Yian stood up slowly, his slender figure not much shorter than Sheng Yuchen. He looked at Sheng Yuchen coldly, a gaze reciprocated by Sheng Yuchen.
"Senior Yian, hurry up, the lift is here!"
Su Yuan called him, standing before the elevator door. Gu Yian's eyes narrowed slightly, his usual gentleness being replaced by a degree of sternness.
"Look after your woman!"
Leaving these parting words, he broke eye contact and turned around to leave.
Chang Chu more or less understood Sheng Yuchen. He was very silent, and although she was nestled in his embrace, she could obviously feel the icy coldness emitted by him.
She looked up at Sheng Yuchen in fear, her tear-stricken face unpleasant to the sight, yet her eyes big and bright. In a grieving and weak voice, she called, "Chen…"
Sheng Yuchen's heart sank. He looked at her, only to see the swollen face and bloodstains at the corner of her mouth. The coldness in his eyes dissipated a bit as he tried to restrain himself and speak in the gentlest tone possible.
"Does it hurt a lot?"
That was exactly the state that Chang Chu wanted to see. She bit her lip and shook her head lightly, but the tears ran down her cheeks in ferocious waves.
Impatience flashed across his eyes, but he tolerated and lowered his voice.
"Alright, stop crying. I'll bring you to the hospital!"
"Chen, I really don't want to hurt Chuqing. But in reality, I'm always hurting her…"
"I know!"
Sheng Yuchen's eyes dimmed with unpredictable thoughts under it, as he answered in a low voice.
He looked up and saw the manager standing at a side, already covered in a cold sweat. His face darkened. "Nobody can leave the restaurant, for the time being, I'll send someone over later!"
"Yes, yes!" The manager nodded quickly. He could not afford to offend the crown prince of City Fu.
Sheng Yuchen pulled Chang Chu away to leave. Not long after, Zuo Yi hurriedly rushed to the restaurant.
