The man’s thin lips were tightly pressed, and he didn’t say a word. His gaze was cold, with a hint of anger and something she couldn’t quite decipher. Lin Yixun thought the man was angry because she had woken him up in the middle of the night. However, she saw the man’s gaze slowly drop to her thigh. The most update n0vels are published on novel fire.net Being stared at by Leng Yixiu made Lin Yixun’s scalp tingle. She wanted to retreat defensively, but the man grabbed her arm before she could react. Before she could cry out, she was suddenly lifted off the ground and carried horizontally by the man. Lin Yixun’s heart tightened, and she panicked instantly, kicking him with her leg, "Leng Yixiu, what are you doing?" "Don’t move!" The man commanded coldly, giving her a warning look, "If you move again, I’ll throw you off the building!" As he spoke, the man carried her step by step out of the master bedroom, turned, entered the elevator, and went straight down to the first floor. After going downstairs, Leng Yixiu placed Lin Yixun on the sofa. As he turned to leave, he said coldly, "Don’t move!" Lin Yixun watched the man turn and walk into the storage room, completely puzzled. Why had Leng Yixiu carried her downstairs in the middle of the night? She didn’t really care for Leng Yixiu, so how could she just do what he said? But as she tried to get up, a sharp pain shot through her knee. Lin Yixun looked down and saw her pajama pants stained with a glaring red color around her knee. She had thought it was just a minor scrape but didn’t expect so much blood. "I told you not to move, why are you still moving?" Lin Yixun followed the voice and saw Leng Yixiu walking toward her with a medical kit in hand. Seeing Lin Yixun still frozen in place, the man frowned and said coldly, "Sit down!" Lin Yixun remained unmoved, staring at the man in front of her in confusion. What was he trying to do? As his patience wore thin, the man walked directly to her, picked her up, and placed her on the sofa. Under Lin Yixun’s astonished gaze, he knelt down and gently rolled up the leg of her pajama pants. "Hiss!" The separation of the fabric from her scraped skin made Lin Yixun gasp in pain. Seeing Lin Yixun biting her lip and enduring the pain, the man’s eyes flickered. He opened the medical kit and took out alcohol, medicine, cotton swabs, and gauze. "It will hurt a bit, bear with it." Leng Yixiu’s sudden tenderness left Lin Yixun momentarily stunned. She reached out, trying to take the supplies from the man’s hand, and whispered, "I can do it myself." But the man ignored her, lowered his head, dipped a cotton swab in alcohol, and carefully cleaned the blood on her knee. Lin Yixun knew that this man had a strong desire to control everything and would only do things his way, so she let him be. No matter how she tried to persuade him, it would be futile anyway. The alcohol on her scraped skin felt like a burn, stinging intensely. Lin Yixun groaned in pain but forced herself to stay silent. She didn’t want to show any weakness in front of Leng Yixiu. But this wasn’t the hardest part to endure; what tormented Lin Yixun the most was the person in front of her. Being alone with Leng Yixiu, time seemed to stretch endlessly. Each minute and second was unbearably long. Leng Yixiu’s inconsistent treatment of her only added to Lin Yixun’s confusion. She couldn’t figure out what was going on in his mind. Could it be... Lin Yixun quickly dismissed that thought. Impossible!
