Mr. CEO Has a Crush on Me-Chapter 1457: Tricked [Ling Xing]

Mu Xing, half-dazed, blurted out the truth, "I’ve been shot before, do you think I’m afraid of pain..."

Bai Lingyun was taken aback; he had really forgotten that, as long as she wasn’t experiencing memory loss, she was someone who could endure pain well.

The only time she resembled an average girl was during her amnesia, when even the slightest pain would bring tears to her eyes.

Who knew that after her memory returned, she changed; even when covered in sweat from the pain, she could bear it without a word.

But quickly, he stopped, "Forget it. Enduring pain and being afraid of pain are two different things. No one is immune to pain. In the future, if you’re in pain, just admit it, don’t hold it in. But... I’ll do my best to ensure you never encounter anything painful again."

Mu Xing lay on the bed staring at the ceiling.

It felt like she’d been deceived; wasn’t it promised that she wouldn’t encounter anything painful?

Now her waist was sore and her legs ached, she felt miserable. Surely, this couldn’t be considered painless.

Though, truth be told, compared to actual pain, it was nothing.

She shifted slightly, quickly rousing the person beside her.

"Running again?"

"... No." Mu Xing turned around.

Her disheveled hair and bewildered expression made her look all the more... appetizing.

Her hair wasn’t long, kept just below her shoulders for convenience, not obscuring the marks against her pale skin at all.

"I... I’m thirsty, want something to drink." Mu Xing suppressed her slight nervousness, asked nonchalantly, "Do you want anything?"

Bai Lingyun watched her for a long time without speaking. She didn’t understand his look, but knew that if he kept looking at her like this, her ears would turn red.

Why hadn’t she trained herself to stop blushing?

"Don’t, I’ll go myself." She intended to get up.

Suddenly, she was pressed back down.

"I’ll get it." He said blandly, getting up, "Wait here."

"I can do it myself!" she explained.

Her injuries had mostly healed, and although the earlier activity was a bit strenuous, for someone like her who had been trained, it was nothing.

"If you’re told to wait, then wait. Who knows if you’ll get water or sneak out the door?"

Mu Xing: "..."

She pressed her hand to her forehead, lowered her head, then grabbed the blanket and sat up.

Seriously, how many times did she have to say it?

As she looked up, she saw him coming in with a glass, a cup of water in hand.

"Hey you..." Mu Xing covered her eyes, "Could you please put on some clothes?"

Walking back and forth stark naked—exhibitionist?

"The curtains are all drawn, and there’s no one else in this room." Bai Lingyun eyed her, then grabbed her wrist, pulled her hand down and handed the blanket to her, "You’ve already seen it, what’s there to be shy about?"

Mu Xing hugged the water glass, turned her head away, "It’s a matter of manners!"

"Manners? Do I need manners with my girlfriend?" He chuckled but still put on a nightgown, sitting by the bedside.

Mu Xing looked towards the window as she finished the water, handing the cup back to him.

"You drank all mine." Bai Lingyun looked at her lips, taking the now empty glass, "Compensate me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Xing was tackled.

After being kissed again, she looked at him innocently, "I thought you’d already drunk it!"

"Idiot." He braced his arms on either side of her shoulders, "Didn’t realize I was making an excuse."

"I realized it, didn’t realize you uncovering your excuse." She said, frustrated.

Bai Lingyun laughed, finally feeling a lot more at ease.
