Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 729 - 722: I Am Clean (Part 1)
Once in the room, Leng Yichen placed Bai Yiran on the bed. Soon, Wang Hai knocked on the door and brought in clean clothes, toiletries, and items for dressing wounds.
Bai Yiran’s hand was injured, and the bandages wrapped around it were already dirty and disheveled. Leng Yichen squatted in front of Bai Yiran, meticulously unwrapping the bandage on her hand; the wound underneath had already started to swell and become inflamed.
Leng Yichen’s brows furrowed deeply, his eyes full of heartache, "How did this happen?"
Bai Yiran smiled, her face calm and untroubled, "I fell while escaping yesterday."
Hearing Bai Yiran say this, Leng Yichen’s eyes tightened. He regretted it, wondering why he didn’t choose to take the same path Xiao Qiao did yesterday. If he had, he would have encountered Bai Yiran!
"I’m sorry." Leng Yichen picked up an iodine swab and gently disinfected Bai Yiran’s hand wound.
"It’s not your fault." Bai Yiran didn’t want Leng Yichen to blame himself; these weren’t his mistakes. Seeing the logo on the plastic bag on the table, she chuckled and said, "So that’s where they bought the medicine."
"What did you say?" Leng Yichen looked up to ask.
"Nothing." Bai Yiran shook her head, not wanting to mention her forehead injury, not wanting Leng Yichen to feel more guilty.
Leng Yichen disinfected and re-bandaged her hands, then looked up steadily at her face. Due to running on the dark mountain last night, Bai Yiran’s face and neck were scratched with several bloody marks.
He reached out, gently brushing over those wounds, leaned in, and softly kissed them.
Leng Yichen’s lips kissed all over the bloodstains on Bai Yiran’s face and neck as if he could feel her pain. His lips were trembling slightly, finally resting on her equally trembling lips.
Bai Yiran closed her eyes, allowing Leng Yichen to kiss her. This kiss was devoid of any desire, purely an exchange of solace between two people in love.
Once the kiss ended, Bai Yiran’s eyes looked at Leng Yichen as brilliantly as the stars, wanting to tell him she was fine, she was well.
"Are there any other injuries?" Leng Yichen knew that the injuries on Bai Yiran’s body couldn’t be just these.
Bai Yiran smiled and said, "I want to take a bath."
Her clothes were dirty, and her hair was a mess. From the early morning turmoil till now, Bai Yiran really wanted to take a comfortable hot shower.
"Okay." Leng Yichen looked into her eyes, "I’ll help you wash."
Bai Yiran nodded, her hands just recently bandaged, making it impossible to bathe herself.
In the tiny bathroom, Leng Yichen helped Bai Yiran undress layer by layer. This wasn’t the first time Leng Yichen had helped Bai Yiran bathe; during the months she was pregnant, Leng Yichen always helped her bathe. Yet now, his movements were even more cautious than when she was pregnant.
His every movement was gentle, afraid of accidentally touching Bai Yiran’s wounds.
As he removed her pants, the severely injured knees were exposed. Due to the inflammation, Bai Yiran’s entire leg was slightly swollen. Her calves and thighs had varying degrees of bruising, leaving Leng Yichen clueless at that moment; he feared that even the slightest movement would cause her pain.
"What’s wrong with you?" Bai Yiran’s eyes were brimming with tears, but her lips were smiling, "I’m fine."
