At this moment, the bedroom was very quiet.
–
Qin Shu bent down and rolled up her pants. Just as she had expected, the wound had split open.
It was probably due to the unintentional collision just now. That was why so much blood was flowing down.
First, she took a cotton swab and dipped it in the alcohol. She cleaned her blood.
Then, she took out the gauze and wrapped the wound.
Qin Shu looked down at her calf, which was wrapped in pure white gauze. It would take a few more days for it to turn into a scab.
As time went by, the man would definitely get suspicious.
She put away the medical kit and placed it back in the cabinet. Then, she stood up and walked to the wardrobe. She took out a new set of home clothes and changed into it.
After she was done tidying up, she hurriedly opened the bedroom door and walked out.
Fu Tingyan and Fu Songlan were still in the living room. She didn’t want them to wait for too long.
Qin Shu held the handrail of the stairs and slowly walked downstairs.
Fu Tingyan was standing in front of Fu Songlan. He was watching over him to prevent him from running around again.
Ning Meng, who had been waiting in the living room, saw Qin Shu come down and hurriedly ran over. Her voice was full of worry. “Young madam, is your leg alright? I heard from young master that your leg is bleeding. I was so worried.”
Seeing how worried Ning Meng was about her, Qin Shu gave her a reassuring smile. “I’m fine. I just fell accidentally. Oh right, go prepare some fruits and snacks.”
“It’s good that you’re fine. I’ll go prepare them now.”
Ning Meng was preparing fruits and snacks next door just now. She ran over to take a look because she heard the commotion.
When she walked out of the living room, she suddenly remembered that she had already called Fourth Master. Would it be a waste for Fourth Master to come all the way here?
–
Fu Tingyan heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed that Qin Shu was fine. If something happened, he would have to bear some responsibility. After all, he was the one who brought Songlan here.
When Fu Songlan saw that Qin Shu had come down, he jumped off the sofa with a kick of his two short legs and ran all the way to Qin Shu. He raised his small head and stared at Qin Shu. “Fourth aunt, did you become so beautiful because you had a beauty treatment?”
Fu Songlan often heard his mother saying that she reserved a date with some rich lady for a beauty treatment. That was where he got this idea.
Fu Tingyan was afraid that this little fellow would accidentally bump into Qin Shu again so he walked over and pulled the distance between him and Qin Shu apart.
“Can’t you just sit quietly for a while?”
Fu Songlan pouted unhappily. “I’m chatting with my fourth aunt. I’m not running around.”
Qin Shu noticed that Fu Tingyan insisted on wanting Little Lan to sit on the sofa so she tried to persuade him. “Just let Little Lan play by himself. Every child can’t sit still.”
“He’s too naughty.” Fu Tingyan knew that Songlan couldn’t sit still. He liked to run around. Hence, he asked him to sit properly.
At this time, Ning Meng brought over some fruits and snacks and placed them in front of Fu Songlan.
Qin Shu felt her leg hurting as she stood there. She walked over to sit opposite Fu Songlan and glanced at the fruits and snacks on the coffee table. He looked at the young and innocent face and said, “Take whatever you like. Treat it as your own home.”
Fu Tingyan sat down beside Fu Songlan. When he first came, he was afraid that Qin Shu would find Fu Songlan too naughty. He didn’t expect Qin Shu to like this mischievous person.
Fu Songlan looked at the fruit plate. His gaze fell on the watermelon. The watermelon was cut into pieces. He lifted his chubby little hand and took a piece of watermelon to stuff into his mouth.
In summer, most people liked to eat watermelons. It helped to quench their thirst and relieve the heat.
The air-conditioning in the living room was turned on. The temperature was constant at 28 degrees but suddenly, the temperature dropped.
A tall figure walked in from the entrance. At the same time, the people in the living room, including Ning Meng, felt a chill on their backs.
Fu Songlan, who was about to eat another piece of watermelon, felt a hint of chill. He retracted his little hand.
Qin Shu looked towards the entrance and saw a man striding towards her. His steps were a little hurried but he didn’t lose his elegance.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with confusion. Why did he suddenly come back? And he seemed to have rushed back in a hurry.
While Qin Shu was feeling confused, Fu Tingyu’s tall and straight figure had already reached her. He half-squatted in front of her and sized up at the lady. At the same time, he asked in a low voice, “Ning Meng said that you fell and bled. Where did you get hurt?”
Qin Shu looked at the man half-squatting in front of her. He was wearing a pure black custom-made suit. Creases were formed on his suit due to his squatting posture. This posture was very similar to that of a proposal. The only thing missing was the proposal ring in his hand.
His deep eyes were full of nervousness and worry.
She didn’t know whether to say that Ning Meng was smart or that she was too smart.
She just went up to change her clothes and in a blink of an eye, she called Fu Tingyu.
How was she going to explain the injury on her leg?
No matter how she explained, it wouldn’t make sense.
When Fu Songlan saw that Fu Tingyu had came back, he kicked his two short legs and quickly stood obediently behind Fu Tingyu. He was a completely different person from the lively and mischievous young boy a second ago.
He said in a childish voice, “Hello, fourth uncle.”
Fu Tingyu’s entire attention was on the lady in front of him. He wanted to know where she was injured and bleeding.
Therefore, Fu Songlan’s baby-like greeting got blocked by his brain.
In order to divert the man’s attention, Qin Shu felt that it was time to say something. “Little Lan came to Sheng Yuan the moment he came back from abroad. Look at him. Do you think he has grown taller?”
Fu Songlan had been abroad on vacation with Fu Tingyan and his wife. He had only returned to China two days ago.
After Qin Shu’s reminder, Fu Tingyu turned around and saw Fu Songlan standing behind him. Compared to three months ago, he didn’t feel that he had grown taller. On the other hand, he seemed to have put on a little weight.
Fu Songlan saw Fu Tingyu turning around to look at him so he greeted him obediently, “Hello, fourth uncle.”
Fu Tingyu replied, “Yes, he’s quite well-behaved.”
Fu Tingyan knew that this mischievous Songlan was extremely well-behaved in front of his brother.
“He just came back yesterday. Today, he insisted on coming to Sheng Yuan to play. He ept pestering me so I had no choice but to bring him along when I came here,” he said to his brother.
“Fourth uncle, I fell with fourth aunt just now. I didn’t even cry.” Fu Songlan raised his head and looked at Fu Tingyu with a pair of watery eyes. His gaze was full of anticipation.
Fu Tingyu didn’t disappoint him. “You’re a young man now.”
Fu Songlan was a little proud of being praised by Fu Tingyu. His fourth uncle rarely praised others, but he praised him. This showed that he was quite amazing.
Fu Songlan returned to Fu Tingyan’s side and looked at him arrogantly.
Fu Tingyan snorted. “Look at how proud you are.”
Fu Tingyu ignored the two people behind him. His gaze turned to the lady in front of him again. She was wearing loose home clothes so he did not know where she got injured.
The man asked again, “Where did you get injured?”
Qin Shu said, “Don’t be nervous. I just fell accidentally. It’s nothing.”
Fu Tingyu’s voice became a little heavy. He sounded a little anxious too. “Will you be bleeding if it’s nothing serious?”
Qin Shu was stunned and didn’t know how to answer for a moment. She knew the man’s personality too well. He wouldn’t stop until he figured it out.
