100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 469 I Can’t Sleep

Leng Tou led Xiaoqiao, who stood outside the door pondering how to begin speaking. Xiaoqiao, probably eager to see Gu Hangshen, tugged her hand away and moved forward. Unfortunately, right ahead was a sloping threshold—she stumbled after just one step and crashed hard onto the floor with a thud.

The crisp sound of her knee hitting the marble floor made onlookers wince with sympathy.

And the noise finally got the attention of the two people inside.

Gu Hangshen, seeing the woman who had suddenly fallen in, flashed a moment of surprise in his eyes, then turned his questioning gaze toward Leng Tou.

Because of Xiaoqiao’s dress-up, with her head buried down, Gu Hangshen didn’t recognize her at first.

Leng Tou cried out in alarm and went over to help her, "Xiaoqiao, are you alright?"

That cry made the usually unruffled Gu Hangshen’s eyes ignite with waves of concern; he dropped the book and wheeled himself over.

Hurriedly, he helped her up, lifted her disheveled wig, and saw her clutching her knee with a pained expression. He scratched his head, took the wig off, and pouted her lips, looking aggrieved, "It hurts..."

"Xiaoqiao, how did you get here? How could you be so careless? Where does it hurt?" Gu Hangshen asked anxiously.

Xiaoqiao, mustering her strength, stood up, "It’s nothing..."

Gu Hangshen had not expected Xiaoqiao to find him so soon. He was now in a state of disarray, flustered as he supported her to the sofa to sit, then scrambled to find the first aid kit.

Lian Yi had never seen him so flustered and "humanized," and her face was full of disbelief.

Gu Hangshen, with the first aid kit in hand, sat opposite her, "Take off your socks!"

"Oh," replied Xiaoqiao, unabashedly lifting the hem of her trench coat and hoisting her skirt up.

Gu Hangshen’s lips twitched, and he gave a light cough and turned his head away.

The girl was lifting her skirt right in front of him, revealing her pale skin bit by bit—it was criminally tempting.

Gu Hangshen carefully placed one of her legs on his knee, "What exactly happened to you? It’s the middle of the night and you’re running around. You know you can’t see, why weren’t you more careful? Didn’t I say there was no need to rush, that I would arrange a meeting..."

Xiaoqiao propped her chin up, contentedly listening to his rambling. No matter how he fumed or scolded, she smiled and quietly enjoyed the concentrated and incredibly tender expression on his face as he applied the medicine to her.

She had thought she would never see him again...

She had thought she would never hear him scold her like this again...

As Gu Hangshen was about to treat her other leg, Xiaoqiao suddenly threw herself into his arms.

Gu Hangshen, with a cotton swab and medicine in hand, was flanked by her body, and he furrowed his brows, "Stop messing about, sit properly, it’s not done yet..."

Xiaoqiao buried her head in his chest, "Can I sleep with you tonight?"

Gu Hangshen’s face paused, seemingly embarrassed, his cheeks betraying a hint of a suspicious blush.

Truth be told, even now, he could not fully make up his mind, because the most painful thing for him wasn’t leaving her, but not being able to protect her.

Seeing that he remained silent, Xiaoqiao grew a little annoyed, "If you’re reluctant... I’ll just go to Qin Yao’s place..."

Gu Hangshen’s ink-like pupils shrank to a pinpoint, exuding a chill.

Xiaoqiao held him tighter, her voice husky, "Gu Hangshen, what should I do? I can’t sleep..."

"I haven’t been able to sleep for so long; I’ve taken a lot of sleeping pills, but still can’t fall asleep. When I open my eyes it’s you, when I close them, it’s still you..."
