Under the night sky.
A black sedan departed, with Ye Jinghuai holding An Nuan in his embrace.
An Nuan clung onto Ye Jinghuai's neck, her whole body trembling.
Even though she had escaped danger, she couldn't stop shaking.
Ye Jinghuai could feel her fear, so after getting in the car, he held her the entire time, letting her cling tightly to his embrace.
When they arrived at Ye Jinghuai's villa, he carried An Nuan out of the sedan.
At that moment, at the front door of the villa, a man was standing there deferentially.
His whole body was injured.
Blood stains were clearly visible.
His injuries may have been even more severe than An Nuan's.
"Mr. Ye," Hu Feng called to him, "I'm sorry, I failed to protect Madam."
When An Nuan saw Hu Feng, she actually felt somewhat emotional.
She was very clear that Hu Feng had done his utmost.
Even after the car accident, disregarding his own safety, he had still tried to protect her.
Just as she was about to speak.
She heard Ye Jinghuai's cold voice say, "Go back and recover first."
There was little emotion.
It was unclear whether he was resentful or punitive.
He didn't even express concern.
Hu Feng didn't dare say anything more.
He replied deferentially, "Yes."
An Nuan watched as Hu Feng left, many words she wanted to say, yet none came out at that moment.
Ye Jinghuai had already carried her into the lobby.
Inside the lobby, Uncle Zhong was waiting for them.
Seeing An Nuan appear covered in blood, he was also frightened.
He hurriedly came forward, "Young Master."
"Bring me the first-aid kit," Ye Jinghuai instructed.
Uncle Zhong immediately acknowledged.
Ye Jinghuai carried An Nuan upstairs and gently placed her on the bed.
At this time, Uncle Zhong had already put a full first-aid kit by the bedside.
After setting it down, he respectfully left.
The room was once again just the two of them.
Ye Jinghuai opened the first-aid kit.
He also went into the bathroom and brought out a basin of hot water.
Then, his slender fingers began undoing the white shirt he had dressed her in.
An Nuan grabbed Ye Jinghuai's hand.
Ye Jinghuai looked at her, clearly sensing her refusal.
Ye Jinghuai spoke, his voice very gentle.
Just now in the warehouse, she had even felt Ye Jinghuai's entire being was bloody and terrifying.
Yet now, he seemed to have reverted to his usual everyday manner.
He said, "I'm only helping you clean your wounds."
An Nuan bit her lip.
"Don't worry, I've seen your body many times already, I could recognize what you look like with my eyes closed."
"......" An Nuan was somewhat at a loss for words.
"Be good, let go." Ye Jinghuai's voice was extremely gentle and full of spoiling affection.
An Nuan's gaze fixed tightly on Ye Jinghuai.
Looking into the sincerity in the depths of his eyes.
She said, "It's very ugly."
Ye Jinghuai seemed to smile.
His smile was as warm as sunshine.
If she hadn't witnessed with her own eyes his horrifying manner tonight, she really couldn't have imagined that in another world unknown to her, just what kind of cold and sinister existence Ye Jinghuai actually was.
He said, "I won't dislike you."
An Nuan looked at him.
Hearing his magnetic and pleasing voice quietly tell her, "I'll never dislike you."
An Nuan's heart raced faster.
She always very easily developed an arrhythmia because of Ye Jinghuai.
No matter what the circumstance.
Slowly, she released her hold on Ye Jinghuai's hand.
She just allowed him to, bit by bit, undo that bloodstained shirt of hers.
Beneath the shirt, her bare body was covered densely with wounds.
The car accident had shattered the window glass.
There were many cuts.
Fortunately, her internal organs hadn't been damaged.
After Ye Jinghuai removed her shirt, he first used the warm towel to help her clean away the bloodstains and grime on her body bit by bit.
He kept his eyes lowered, very earnest.
Actually, An Nuan didn't even want to watch him.
After all, being so exposed in front of him would make her feel extremely awkward.
Yet in that moment, she was unexpectedly captivated by Ye Jinghuai's allure, unable to look away.
His handsome features were truly able to take one's breath away at first sight and linger for a thousand years.
His bone structure held a Westerner's sharp angularity, while also possessing an Eastern refinement and uprightness, with clear and natural eyes, upturned eye corners, profound eye sockets creating a mysterious feeling and mature man's charm combined with his brows, genuinely sword-like brows and starry eyes.
At this moment, all his attention was on her wounds, not a shred of lust mixed in his gaze that lowered towards her, instead it was clean and pure, causing her to feel none of the danger between man and woman that usually existed......
It even made her feel he was giving her the utmost respect.
"Hurts," An Nuan suddenly cried out softly.
If not for the pain in treating the wounds.
An Nuan may have even forgotten she was currently exposing her body which was full of injuries.
Ye Jinghuai seemed to always have that magical power to attract all her attention, making her forget everything around her.
"Bear with it a little," Ye Jinghuai said. Though his voice was clearly somewhat cold.
Yet the motions of his hands were obviously much lighter.
He carefully helped clean her wounds, blowing at the same time, seemingly trying to alleviate her pain.
Who could have imagined.
Ye Jinghuai who was usually always aloof and remote, never taking women seriously, always changing women like clothes, would actually have such a gentle side towards a woman as well.
Gentle to the point of.
Being able to melt one's heart and body.
An Nuan thought at that moment.
Just what kind of woman would it take, to be able to withstand Ye Jinghuai's offenses.
What kind of woman would it take, to truly be completely immune to Ye Jinghuai, to not be moved by him in the slightest.
Ye Jinghuai meticulously helped clean, disinfect, apply medicine to and dress her wounds one by one.
After finishing treating them.
She had practically been wrapped up like a mummy.
As exaggerated as could be.
She reckoned she didn't even need to wear clothes anymore after this.
The white bandages actually looked rather nice.
In the end though, Ye Jinghuai still dressed her in a set of home clothes, the soft fabric loose and baggy when worn, not touching her injuries at all.
After completing everything, over an hour had passed.
Ye Jinghuai tidied up the first-aid kit and got up to leave.
"Ye Jinghuai," An Nuan suddenly called to him.
Ye Jinghuai turned around.
"Where are you going?" An Nuan asked him.
For the first time, she felt a little afraid of him simply abandoning her like this.
Perhaps......her heart had been moved.
Because of Ye Jinghuai's repeated saving of her.
Because of all Ye Jinghuai's warmth and care towards her.
So now, she at this moment.
She wanted to indulge her feelings just once, at least for tonight.
After experiencing so many earth shattering things.
"Are you reluctant to part with me?" Ye Jinghuai solemnly asked her.
"Yes," An Nuan admitted, "I don't want you to leave."
"Do you know what those words of yours represent in a man's mind?" Ye Jinghuai questioned her.
She......knew.
Seeing her expression, Ye Jinghuai laughed.
His smile clearly also held some helplessness.
He said, "Miss An, you always know how to torment me."
"......" An Nuan looked at Ye Jinghuai in astonishment.
What did she do to torment him?!
