Chapter 525
Mo Xiuchen was nervously examining her, in the end, he only noticed that her palms had been scratched due to the pressure from supporting her body. His striking eyebrows were furrowed with worry as he repeatedly confirmed with her, “Ranran, where are you hurting? Tell me.”
Wen Ran shook her head in his embrace, “No, it’s just a little sting in the palms of my hands. It’ll be better in a while. It’s just that I was careless and slipped.”
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
After placing her on the bed, he said softly, “I’ll get some ointment and apply it for you.”
He fetched the ointment, taking hold of Wen Ran’s wrist, staring at her bruised palm, his brows furrowed in worry and guilt, “It’s all my fault for knocking on the door which made you slip.”
“Mo Xiuchen, it’s not your fault. Don’t blame yourself. Besides, I’m not injured, it’s just that I put too much pressure on my hands when I fell. Didn’t you burn your hand? Now we’re even. We’re both wounded!”
Not wanting to see him blame himself, Wen Ran made a jest to lighten the atmosphere.
Mo Xiuchen chuckled at her words, staring at her brows and eyes that were trying to cheer him up, his furrowed eyebrows slowly relaxing, a slight smile appearing on his face. He said softly, “Since you’re injured accompanying me, you should rest well these few days. You are not allowed to do anything with these hands.”
And there was another reason to keep her here.
Thinking about this, the guilt that was lingering in Mo Xiuchen’s heart gradually lessened, replaced by a hint of joy.
Seeing him finally smiling, Wen Ran readily agreed without a second thought, “Alright, I’ll give them a good rest and do nothing with them.”
Staying means staying. Just let her be selfish for once, following her heart, and stay by his side a little longer. She told herself silently, just for a few days!
After applying the ointment for her, Mo Xiuchen gently placed her hands back into the blanket. Wen Ran’s eyes sparkled, asking shyly, “Mo Xiuchen, could you please get my pajamas for me?”
“Sure!”
Mo Xiuchen nodded, turned around to fetch her pajamas from the bathroom. His gaze swept over her hands, asking apprehensively, “Can you put it on yourself, or do you need my help?”
Wen Ran replied, “I can do it myself.”
Staring at her blush-tinted cheeks, Mo Xiuchen bit his lip, “Then I’ll go take a shower first.” With that, he turned around and walked into the bathroom.
After changing into her pajamas and lying in bed, Wen Ran found herself unable to calm her racing heart.
Initially, she came back to divorce him and to move her stuff.
Yet now, she was convinced by Mo Xiuchen to stay.
She felt conflicted and sad, thinking about how long she could stay by his side.
It was an unsolvable question, maybe she would regret it in the next second…
Mo Xiuchen was quick, only taking about ten minutes in the shower.
He walked over to the bed with his long strides, his gaze glided over Wen Ran’s damp hair and without hesitation, he reached over to her, “Ranran, move a little, I’ll help dry your hair first.”
Wen Ran evaded his heated gaze and shifted slightly.
Rather than asking her to get off the bed, Mo Xiuchen let her sit there while he stood in front of the bed. He gently and skillfully dried her hair, his fingers threading through her strands, occasionally twirling them. The peaceful scent wrapping around them, her restless heart was slowly beginning to steady.
After drying her hair, he swiftly dried his own as well.
Placing the hair dryer down, he got on the bed.
The familiar and refreshing masculine scent hit her, causing Wen Ran’s body to tremble instinctively, she moved further in.
“Ranran!
“Time to sleep!”
Mo Xiuchen gifted her a light smile before his arm curled around her, pulling them down into the bed together.
Picking up the remote, he adjusted the light to a soft, dim state. He then shifted to his side, embracing her as usual.
