Chapter 496: 496, funding is burning, Chu Er is spending money to suffer.

Finally out of the shower, Shi Huan spent quite some time getting ready for bed, listening carefully to the sounds outside her room. When she was certain that Chu Xiuhuang had fallen asleep, she finally opened the door and stepped out.

But…

Chu Xiuhuang was not asleep at all!

He sat there on the couch like a leopard waiting for the right moment to strike, his eyes slanted as he watched her intently.

Caught off guard, Shi Huan was taken aback and stammered, “Mr. Chu, you…how…why…”

“Come and help me apply the medicine,” said Chu Xiuhuang.

Medicine?

Chu Xiuhuang raised his hand. “Considering how badly you scratched me, isn’t it only fair that you help me with my wounds?”

Glancing at his arm, Shi Huan saw it covered with angry red cuts and scrapes, some of them even bleeding. The sight was horrifying.

Did she… did she do that bad?

“Hurry up!”

Shi Huan: “…” freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Resigned, she squeezed her fingers and walked over, reaching under the coffee table to grab a simple first aid box.

Opening it, she said, “I only have bandages.”

She stood up. “Should I go out and buy other stuff?”

“Forget it,” Chu Xiuhuang said with a dark expression. “Bandages will do.”

Given how late it was, it seemed he still couldn’t bear the thought of her heading out…

Chu Xiuhuang felt he had shown Shi Huan enough patience.

Shi Huan, on the other hand, was secretly relieved, took out the bandages, squatted down, and started applying them to Chu Xiuhuang’s injuries.

As he sat there, his eyes once again rested upon her face.

Under the bright lights of the living room, Shi Huan crouched by his legs, the large gray T-shirt she wore as a nightgown reaching almost to her knees, the collar tightly fitted, conservative to the point where it left no room for any views.

Such a nuisance.

His heart was overflooding with bitterness at the realization that clearly, she was guarded around him, even her nightgowns were this conservative.

Because she had just bathed, Shi Huan was not wearing her glasses, which made her appear fresh and clean, a stark contrast of white teeth, red lips, and charming sweetness.

His heart softened unexpectedly and he blurted out, “What’s wrong with me? What exactly do you not like about me?”

Shi Huan’s fingers froze on the spot.

Chu Xiuhuang continued, “I’m intelligent, wealthy, tall, handsome, and strong, completely capable of protecting you. We’ve known each other for over seven years. Can’t you… ”

I’m done with the bandages,” Shi Huan interrupted him, quickly packed up the first aid box, and stood up to leave, but he caught hold of her arm.

“Little Huanhuan,” Chu Xiuhuang held her arm, gazing at her indifferent profile, for the first time in his life he spoke with both gentleness and patience, “Won’t you consider giving me a chance? I rarely take the initiative to pursue a girl like this. Over the years, you know I’ve never…”

“Mr. Chu, it’s late, time to sleep,” Shi Huan brushed off his hand, without lifting her head, she briskly entered the bedroom and shut the door behind her.

Chu Xiuhuang: “…”

Looking at the time, it was after ten.

He turned off the light, lay down on the couch, rest his hands behind his head and stared at the ceiling.

Why didn’t Shi Huan like him when he’s truly one of the best, even among his own friends?

Over the years, she did not seem to be seeing anyone else.

If she didn’t fancy him, why did she always obey his commands?

What held her back?

Chu Xiuhuang was utterly perplexed.

After a while, he wanted to turn over but discovered that although the sofa was big, it was still not very comfortable for sleeping, feeling crowded.

The couch seemed to him neither wide nor soft enough, and it made a great deal of noise.

Suddenly, he felt wronged. He spent a lot of money on something unnecessarily troublesome!

Damn it, if it wasn’t for you, why would I have to put up with this?

From artificially caused rain to purchasing this extravagant sofa, spending large sums of money, just for a slight touch of her ear…

Looking at the tightly closed bedroom door, listening to the sound of the rain outside, Chu Xiuhuang made a firm resolution in his heart:

Just wait, Little Huanhuan. Sooner or later, in the bedroom…

I’m going to make you cry!

Shi Huan, lying on the soft bed in the bedroom, was oblivious to the chaotic thoughts running through the man’s mind outside.

Little Luoluo was asleep.

Listening to the little girl’s faint breathing, Shi Huan was nowhere near sleepy.

She usually didn’t go to sleep this early, but because Chu Xiuhuang was outside, she had nowhere to go and had no choice but to lay down in bed.

Her phone suddenly lit up, breaking the darkness.

Shi Huan quickly picked up to check it.

A new message awaited on WeChat, “Huanhuan, your aunt and I will be back to China next week.”

Her uncle was coming back?

She felt a jerk of excitement, and she couldn’t help but glance at Little Luoluo beside her.

The little girl was asleep, her long, thick lashes falling on her delicate, almost transparent face, like tiny fans.

What a beautiful little girl.

Because they were sisters, they naturally looked somewhat similar. Yet, in Shi Huan’s view, Little Luoluo resembled him even more…

The phone lit up again.

“Are you asleep?”

Shi Huan quickly replied, “Not yet.”

She thought he would send another message, but there was no further response.

Shi Huan found herself staring at his profile picture, tapping to enlarge it.

Gazing at the gentle and handsome face of the man in the picture, she slowly lost herself in thought.

She had no memory of when she finally drifted off to sleep.
