“Call Xiao Li in.” Li Qianxue felt that her teeth were a little tight. Her eyes flashed. She had no intention of letting him do it.
Xiao Li was the nurse who had just poked her head in. She was in her early thirties, but she was experienced. There were two nurses, one for each ward. Xiao Zhao was on one side, and Li Qianxue was on the other side.
Li Qianxue did feel uncomfortable. She had always liked to be clean. She had never been in such a situation before.
Su Chenghui looked into her eyes. Not only did he not call Xiao Li, but he walked to the door and locked it.
“Su Chenghui –”
“No need to call Xiao Li. I’ll help you.” As Su Chenghui spoke, he returned to the front of the bed. He looked at Li Qianxue and stretched out his hand —
“Su Chenghui, how dare you –”
Li Qianxue was a little embarrassed, but she was more angry. It was not that Su Chenghui had never seen her naked before, but not once were they sober.
After so many years, even if she still had some passion, by now, it was almost gone.
But she did not expect that one day, Su Chenghui would take a hot towel and say that he wanted to wipe her body?
Su Chenghui looked at her face that was flushed with anger. He knew that if he continued, she would be even more angry. However, when he thought that Wei Ting might be trying to curry favor with Old Master Li, he couldn’t sit still.
If Old Master Li couldn’t be counted on, then he could only win her over.
He put the towel back into the water and walked to Li Qianxue. He half bent down, then placed his slender and well-defined fingers on the button of her hospital gown.
“Su Chenghui –” Li Qianxue had one hand in a cast. As soon as she raised her hand, she was suppressed by Su Chenghui.
She could only watch helplessly as he started to take off her hospital gown. He simply took off her gown.
The weather was very hot. She wasn’t wearing anything under her hospital gown. She did not feel it before, but now, she was embarrassed.
Su Chenghui did not think too much about it. He took off her gown and wrung a towel over.
Just as Li Qianxue was about to reach out to stop him, he began to wipe her body.
Li Qianxue was blessed by God. Her skin was delicate and fair. Even at her age, there was still no blemish on her body. He started from her shoulder and slowly moved down.
When his hand touched her heart, Li Qianxue could not help but use her uninjured hand to stop him. However, she forgot that she was lying down and not sitting down.
When her hand touched su Chenghui’s hand, not only did she fail to pull his hand away, but it also became as if she was inviting him.
She withdrew her hand abruptly, but it was more convenient for Su Chenghui to move.
There was a faint smile on the corner of Su Chenghui’s lips, as if he was very happy with Li Qianxue’s cooperation.
Li Qianxue’s face was red. She simply turned her face away and did not look at Su Chenghui anymore.
Su Chenghui was not young anymore. He was also past the age of impulsiveness. However, when he saw Li Qianxue’s exposed snow-white skin, his breathing could not help but become heavy.
Taking a deep breath, he restrained his desire and focused on serious matters.
Holding a towel, he wiped Li Qianxue’s body bit by bit. Li Qianxue’s body trembled slightly, and the places that were brushed by the warm water had an extremely beautiful pink color.
She heard that Su Chenghui’s breathing seemed to be heavier. That hand that wasn’t in a cast was tightly clenched into a fist.
Su Chenghui had overestimated his self-control. He thought that he could control it, but he found that it was not so easy.
After wiping his upper body, his back was already covered in sweat. And next, it was time to test his self-control.
He used the time when he went to the bathroom to change the water to wash his face with cold water. After he calmed down, he went out again.
Li Qianxue had already pulled up her clothes and covered her body with the blanket. A hint of disappointment flashed in Su Chenghui’s eyes, but he soon felt relieved.
He walked to the hospital bed and didn’t have time to make a move. Li Qianxue had already begun to glare at him.
“There’s no need to wipe.” Li Qianxue was so embarrassed that she wanted to die just now. If this continued, she would be even more unwilling.
“That’s it.”
“How can that be?” Su Chenghui stubbornly went forward and began to lift the blanket. “Wipe it clean so that you can sleep better.”
“Su Chenghui –”
“Be good. I promise, I’m only helping you to wipe your body.”
When he said this, since Li Qianxue’s limbs were inconvenient, she could only watch him start his “beastly” behavior again.
He took off her patient pants and began to wipe her legs. Li Qianxue’s face was so red that it appeared as if she was about to drip blood. The two of them had been married for more than twenty years, but there was almost no time for real intimacy.
She had once fantasized that one day, Su Chenghui would be willing to treat her like a real wife.
But now, he really treated her like this, after their divorce. Thinking about it this way, it was a bit ironic.
Feeling the warm touch somewhere, she suddenly reacted. She saw Su Chenghui holding a towel and wiping her leg.
“Su Chenghui.” She suddenly shouted. Su Chenghui kept moving. “Don’t move. It will be finished very quickly.”
“You –”
“Be good. You’re already like this, so what can I do to you?”
He wasn’t that beastly, although he also wanted to.
Li Qianxue gritted her teeth and glared at Su Chenghui hatefully. Noticing that sweat was dripping from his forehead, she unintentionally glanced down, but then her expression changed.
“Su Chenghui, you bastard.”
Su Chenghui was almost done. Because of Li Qianxue’s words, he couldn’t help but glance at her.
As soon as he stood up, his body’s reaction was directly exposed to Li Qianxue’s eyes. Looking at her ugly expression, he tried his best to suppress his body’s reaction.
However, although that woman’s hand was clearly injured, she still pulled the quilt in a hurry.
He pressed down on her restless hand with one hand, threw the towel to the side, and folded his body on top of hers.
“You –”
He knew that she was injured, so he didn’t use any force. He just stared at her face with a burning gaze.
“I love you. It’s normal for me to have a reaction to you.”
“Shameless.” Li Qianxue glared at him. Su Chenghui lowered his head and suddenly kissed her lips.
She couldn’t react and couldn’t move. She watched as his face magnified in front of her and then stole her breath.
After the kiss ended, her breath was unstable and her body went soft. He placed one hand on her neck and stared at her with a burning gaze.
“I really only wanted to help you clean up just now. Now, this is what I call shameless.”
He pecked her lips again. When he got up again, not only did his body’s reaction not go down, but it was even more intense.
Li Qianxue watched as he carried the water into the bathroom, but he did not come out for a long time. She could even hear Su Chenghui calling her name in the bathroom.
Bastard, shameless, hoodlum.
How did she not know that behind Su Chenghui’s gracefulness, there was such a shameless side?
She was so embarrassed that she wanted to sleep, but she could clearly hear Su Chenghui’s words. Deliberately not closing the door, so that she could hear it, he clearly did it on purpose.
She gritted her teeth. In her heart, she really wanted to beat this man up.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Chenghui finally came out of the room. He walked directly to Li Qianxue’s bed and stood there. She was not asleep, but she was also looking at him.
“You heard it?”
“I didn’t hear anything.” Li Qianxue turned her face away and did not look at Su Chenghui at all.
“You just heard it.” Su Chenghui looked at her face with a hint of a smile in his eyes. He bent down and leaned close to her ear.
“Do you know, Qianxue? For more than a year, when I couldn’t sleep at night. I had to think of you in order to fall asleep.”
When he said sleep, he definitely didn’t mean that. Li Qianxue came from a good background and her family was well-known. Even if they talked about cooperation in the business world, no one would have the courage to talk dirty in front of her.
Unexpectedly, when she heard Su Chenghui’s words, her face turned livid. “Su Chenghui, you are shameless.”
“I hope that one day in the future, I can sleep without thinking about you.” Su Chenghui sat down by the bed and held her hand. “Instead, I can sleep with you in my arms.”
“Keep on dreaming.” Li Qianxue sneered and pulled her hand back. “There will never be such a day.”
“There’s a word for it. Qianxue, do you think there will be a day when my dream comes true?”
“I’ve already said it. Since it’s a dream, of course there won’t be such a day.” She would never allow that day to happen.
“I think there will be such a day.” As Su Chenghui spoke, he directly laid down on the hospital bed. A hand wrapped around her shoulder. “Aren’t I hugging you to sleep like this right now?”
“Su Chenghui, get up.” Li Qianxue did not expect Su Chenghui to still try to take advantage of her at such a time. How could she not be angry?
Su Chenghui’s reaction was to bury his face into her neck. He closed his eyes and greedily breathed her scent.
“Qianxue, I’m so happy.”
“I’m not happy that you’re hurt. I’m happy that I can finally hug you like this.”
“Qianxue. Qianxue –”
He went to kiss her neck. Li Qianxue’s body began to tremble. She finally couldn’t stand it anymore and pushed him away.
“Su Chenghui.” Li Qianxue used all her strength to push his body away from her. She held his arm with one hand and glared at him coldly. “Are you happy? It’s a pity that I’m not happy.”
She saw the gentleness on Su Chenghui’s face and felt that it was glaring. “You want your dream to come true? I have to cooperate with you, right? Then don’t you know what dreams shattering means?”
“You want to sleep next to me. You want to hug me to sleep, so I have to let you fulfill your wish? What about those years before that? Su Chenghui, tell me, what were those years before that?”
“Twenty-six years, from the time I married you to the time I divorced you, every day, I dream that one day, you will accept me and be with me. I dream that one day, you will forget the first love in your heart and fall in love with me.”
“Su Chenghui, you have never made my dream come true. Why do you have to put on such a loving face to make me accept you? To fulfill your wish?”
“Su Chenghui, tell me.”
“After a little more than a year, you think you have given a lot? You think you are amazing? Let me tell you, I am not touched at all. I only feel disgusted.”
“If you are so amazing, then let me ask you, who am I going to look for for those twenty years of my life? Who am I going to look for to compensate?”
Her mood was fluctuating a little, and it affected the wounds on her hands and feet, so it made her facial expression a little unpleasant.
The atmosphere in the ward was extremely low. Li Qianxue looked at him with a cold gaze. “I have already forced myself not to think about the past. But, please don’t pretend to be affectionate and disgust me.”
“Now, please get up and leave my bed.”
Su Chenghui looked at her deeply. He did not miss any of the emotions in her eyes.
His heart was filled with bitterness. Yes, this was an unequal sacrifice to begin with. How could he ask Li Qianxue to accept him in such a short time?
He left Li Qianxue’s bed very slowly. He sat down by the bed and looked at Li Qianxue’s face.
She didn’t look at him. She even turned away. He smiled helplessly. “I’m sorry, Qianxue.”
He was too emotional today. He forgot that between him and Li Qianxue, there had been more than twenty years of alienation and indifference.
He really shouldn’t be so self-righteous.
“I’m sorry.”
Li Qianxue didn’t look at him. Instead, she closed her eyes tightly. Su Chenghui stood up and looked at her stiff back. He wanted to say a lot of things, but he couldn’t say a word.
“You rest. I’ll sleep on the other bed.”
He turned around and walked a few steps to the side, then turned back. “Qianxue, maybe you don’t believe me, but my deep love is not an act.”
Li Qianxue’s reaction was to turn her face to the other side.
..
Su Chenghui woke up very early. When he got up, Li Qianxue just happened to open her eyes. They looked at each other and neither of them spoke.
Su Chenghui’s lips moved. Finally, he went to the bathroom to wash up. When he came out again, he had already filled Li Qianxue’s water and toothpaste on her toothbrush.
Li Qianxue was still in a Cold War with him last night. She was being taken care of by him, she was somewhat reluctant now.
Her gaze inadvertently saw the dark circles under Su Chenghui’s eyes. She wanted him to call the nurse, but she didn’t say it out loud.
She brushed her teeth with her uninjured hand. Su Chenghui kept holding the cup for her and passed the water to her when she wanted to rinse her mouth.
His angle was just right, so Li Qianxue saved a lot of energy. This made her unable to resist looking at him again.
However, Su Chenghui didn’t say another word. After she brushed her teeth, he brought a towel for her to wash her face.
In fact, Li Qianxue usually used facial cleanser at home. Now that her hand was injured, she could only make do with it. She wanted him to give her the towel, but he wouldn’t let her. He wiped her very carefully and washed her very carefully.
After he was done, his phone just happened to ring. It was Su Yuxin. He was going to work at the Li Corporation, so he brought food for Li Qianxue.
The person who came with him was Old Master Li. Su Chenghui hung up the phone and glanced at Li Qianxue.
“Yuxin will bring the food over immediately. Have a glass of water first.”
Su Chenghui had just poured the water when someone knocked on the door of the ward. He didn’t know who came so early, even earlier than Su Yuxin and the others.
The door of the ward opened, and the person standing outside was Wei Ting.
