The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life-Chapter 1329 - 514: "Illness

Zhou Wang quickly understood how this scene was unfolding.

She must have tried to remove the dirty cloth by herself, but couldn’t support herself when she lifted her leg. With handcuffs on her hands, it was difficult to move, so she ended up slipping into the bathtub halfway through.

Seeing Qu Peining shed tears again, Zhou Wang had to avert his gaze, but in that fleeting moment, resembling Brother Miao, Zhou Wang seemed to catch a glimpse of something.

She appears to be similar to Xu Wenqian...

Not sure if it’s innate.

His thoughts didn’t interfere with Zhou Wang’s actions. He slightly turned his head and reached out to grab Qu Peining’s shoulder from the corner of his eye. The tight and smooth touch was different from what he imagined.

After all, even though Qu Peining is fair-skinned, considering her occupation, her skin should be rougher than ordinary girls, but it was completely his misunderstanding...

It’s puzzling how she maintains herself so well in that environment, or is it the exclusive talent of a Divine Beast?

After helping Qu Peining up, Zhou Wang didn’t consult her opinion again. Relying on feeling, he hurriedly extended his hand to tear away the fabric hanging on her leg.

During the process, bumps and jolts were inevitable, but Qu Peining only bowed her head and sobbed without uttering a word.

Hush!

Zhou Wang closed his eyes and used the showerhead to rinse her for a while, then asked:

"Do you think it’s enough?"

Qu Peining didn’t respond.

Numb again?

Zhou Wang mumbled to himself, turned off the showerhead, stood up to fetch a clean large bath towel nearby, and then spoke in as formal a tone as possible:

"Qu Peining, I’m going to wrap this around you and then lift you up, okay?"

Waiting a few seconds and receiving Qu Peining’s implicit approval, Zhou Wang finally spread open the towel, bent over, and wrapped it around the bathtub.

Qu Peining’s body trembled slightly.

Zhou Wang awkwardly adjusted his hand, "Sorry, got the angle wrong..."

After several attempts, Zhou Wang finally accurately found the position of Qu Peining’s back and bend of her legs through the towel, and then exerted strength with both hands to lift her whole body up.

Qu Peining’s head involuntarily leaned against Zhou Wang’s shoulder, her damp hair wetting his shoulder, and her slight yet heated breath tingled Zhou Wang’s neck.

Seeing Qu Peining relatively compliant, Zhou Wang felt relieved, carrying her out of the bathroom, through the master bedroom with lingering odors, and into the guest bedroom next door.

After gently placing Qu Peining on the bed, Zhou Wang pulled over a nearby blanket, intending to remove the bath towel she was wrapped in, but felt a slight resistance.

He looked up to see Qu Peining clutching the towel, shaking her head at him.

"But this towel is wet..."

Qu Peining didn’t speak, just kept shaking her head, her gaze somewhat inexplicably dazed.

"Alright, alright, whatever you say. You can stay wrapped in it for now."

Thinking over, Zhou Wang solemnly said to Qu Peining, "Qu Peining, I’m going to find some clean clothes and food for you now, and may leave for a few minutes. Considering your physical state, I won’t tie you up again, but I hope you can stay here honestly while I’m gone. Can you promise me?"

Zhou Wang didn’t actually expect Qu Peining to answer. He wasn’t too worried deep down. Not mentioning Qu Peining’s physical state, with Gao Xing guarding the door, she couldn’t escape anywhere.

Zhou Wang only hoped she wouldn’t cause any trouble and disrupt the subtle ’harmony’ between them at the moment.

However, as Zhou Wang was getting up, he heard a very faint "hmm" sound.

Listening to the seemingly illusory sound, Zhou Wang was taken aback and turned around in surprise, but didn’t see any unusual expression on Qu Peining’s face. He quickly stopped pondering it, turned around, and left the room, leaving the door wide open.

Finding the landline in the living room, Zhou Wang made a call, and just during the time he sat in the living room smoking a cigarette, the doorbell rang.

Getting up to open the door, a graceful and delicate-looking girl stood outside. She was wearing light-colored work clothes, probably just reaching adulthood, her fair thighs under the short skirt seemingly full of collagen traces.

"Good evening, Mr. Zhou! I’m pleased to serve you!"

The girl held a tray filled with items, respectfully greeting Zhou Wang.

"You are... Xiao Ai, right?"

Zhou Wang had some impression of the girl in front of him. It was her who guided him during his first visit to the club. Zhou Wang smiled right away.

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, I’m your exclusive attendant at the club, you can come to me for any needs!"

Expressing immense joy over Zhou Wang remembering her name, Xiao Ai quickly said excitedly.

"Alright, thank you. I’ll contact you if I need anything else."

Zhou Wang retrieved his wallet from the jacket hung on the stand nearby, and handed over a small stack of around a thousand RMB to the girl, then received the tray from her hands.

Seeing Zhou Wang not inviting her inside, disappointment flashed in Xiao Ai’s eyes, but she quickly showed a sweet smile again.

"No trouble at all~"

As she spoke, Xiao Ai proactively helped Zhou Wang close the door.

Zhou Wang placed the tray down, checked its contents—a set of women’s clothes, including large-sized underwear, a small medicine box with common medicines and some vitamins, equipped with syringes, bandages, and so on. Additionally, a jug filled with seafood porridge.
