“Does it hurt?” Mu Jinchen did not acknowledge Qidong as he asked the tear-filled girl next to him who desperately tried to hold the pain in.

She looked really pitiful. Her nose and eyes were red, but her naked face with no make-up was pale white.

Very rarely had he seen a girl with such clear, fair skin.

Wushuang shook her head gently. It was her fault, and others had to send her to the hospital because of her action. She was already quite embarrassed.

Mu Jinchen remained silent before he suddenly leaned over toward Wushuang. Wushuang instinctively veered backward, blinked her large eyes, and stared at the handsome face before her. In the dim car interior, she thought she felt her eyelashes brush across the man’s face. The man had an extremely good-looking side profile and it emitted exquisite masculinity that brought one into submission. His every pore exuded the charm of a mature man.

Wushuang’s blush seared across her cheeks.

‘Click!’ was the sound the seatbelt made when it was fastened. “This is safer.” The man’s deep voice was heard again.

Warm breath blew across Wushuang’s forehead. It smelled of refreshing menthol mixed with hints of alcohol and tobacco; the unique smell of mature manliness. 

She held onto her breath. Fortunately, the man moved away after he spoke, and she was then able to breathe comfortably. The sudden lack of oxygen made her face even redder.

There was another ‘click’ as he buckled his own seatbelt.

Only extreme astonishment could be used to describe the look on Qidong’s face. Young Master had helped a woman fasten her seatbelt. He must be hallucinating as an aftermath of today’s occurrences.

It was not a long ride. They arrived at the hospital in about ten minutes.

Wushuang started to get nervous again. She could not walk. Would she allow herself to be carried by him again under the public’s gaze?

Mu Jinchen seemed to have seen through her. “Give Director Xiao a call,” he instructed Qidong.

Qidong comprehended immediately.

After a short while, several people that looked like doctors and nurses appeared with a stretcher.

Qidong quickly got down from the car and spoke to them. One of the nurses opened the door of the rear seat.

Mu Jinchen suddenly leaned over toward her. Wushuang’s conditioned reflexes kicked in as she turned her head away. Her lips accidentally brushed against Mu Jinchen’s cheek. Both of them froze for a moment.

“I’m unbuckling your seatbelt.”

The pleasant breath fanned Wushuang’s forehead once again, and her breath stopped. This man could easily make anyone nervous, not just with his strong aura but also due to him being unbelievably attractive.

She gently drew a breath and kept her breath steady. After all, she was not a girl that just graduated from school. She knew how to control her emotions.

“Thank you for all you’ve done. I was in the wrong. I apologize for taking up so much of your time.”

Her tone was somewhat distant. She reached out for the nurse’s hand after speaking and was helped onto the stretcher.

Mu Jinchen remained silent and nodded. He stared at her pale little face, a trace of pity flashed across his heart. How could she not inform her family that she was out this late all by herself?

He watched as she was wheeled into the hospital. Mu Jinchen pondered for a moment, then took out his cell phone and dialed Jun Xiang’s number. It was answered after a few rings.

“Yo. Miss me already?” Jun Xiang joked on the other end of the line.

“Is your little wild cat with you?”

“No, that stubborn girl went home on her own. What’s up?” He felt strange that Mu Jinchen asked about her.
