Black Lotus - Chap 2
Sitting weakly on the ground, Wen Niannan hugged his trembling body, letting the blood stain his shirt.
The housekeeper Xu Shu wanted to come and help him, but Wen Niannan stepped back: “Don’t come…don’t…I’ll calm down for a while.”
Xu Shu retracted his hand and looked at the person sitting on the floor worriedly: “Sir, your hand needs to be wrapped.”
Wen Niannan raised his head looking at him with tired eyes, he said: ” Ok, I’ll get back to my room and wrap it myself. Tell Aunt Lan to prepare dinner first, I’ll go to lie down”.
He walked quickly across the room, turning on all the lights, Wen Niannan’s trembling body gradually relaxed. Because of his early trauma, he was afraid of touching and afraid of the darkness. He had been working hard to overcome his fear, but he reacted to Gu Yansheng’s touching body with fear.
In the past few years, he had been cautiously maintaining that marriage, feeling that he had reached the limit at some point, but he still couldn’t get into his heart.
In fact, he had to understand that a long time ago, but he didn’t. Wen Niannan had always known that he’s very submissive in front of Gu Yansheng, at the wedding for example when he poured a glass of wine on his head in front of everyone, he had to spoke with an embarrassed smile saying that Gu Yansheng was just drunk.
The red wine flowed down his white suit and fainted. Wen Niannan could feel the mocking eyes of the people around him. These people felt that his ordinary family and they, weren’t on the same level at all, but the president of the Gu Group, who was able to climb the power of the industry, became someone important. Lord, Wen Niannan must have used some shameless tricks.
After seeing Gu Yansheng’s attitude towards him, the people around were even more sure that this guess was right.
Of course, he knew that Gu Yansheng had deliberately made him so disgraceful that he wouldn’t be able to raise his head before the crowd because he just replaced the position that should belong to Shen Luoan.
When Wen Niannan woke up, it was already dark. When he came down from the upstairs, he saw Gu Yansheng sitting in the dining room. His movements were elegant and charming, just like the first time he met him at the birthday party.
Aunt Lan saw Wen Niannan coming down, she stepped forward saying: “Sir.”
“Yes.”
Wen Niannan pulled the chair next to Gu Yansheng and sat down to dine, they ate the food on their own plates without saying anything.
The air was filled with the faint smell of disinfectant. Gu Yansheng frowned when he smelled it and glanced up at the person who was taking the coriander out. There were obvious palm prints on his face. He moved his eyes down, the bandage attracted his attention.
That wound… was when he was picking up the broken photos…
Gu Yansheng knew that Wen Niannan paid so much attention to his appearance, and was afraid of scars even if he had a slight injury. Although he smelled the smell of disinfectant and knew he had taken some medicine, Gu Yansheng still spoke.
“It’s very irritating that your face is so swollen, don’t you know about medicine?” Gu Yansheng said with disgust.
Wen Niannan squeezed the spoon in his hand releasing it after feeling pain, and replied, “I’ve used medicine, I’ll just put it on the ice later.”
Is this…Is he caring? Wen Niannan’s heart suddenly felt warm.
Gu Yansheng went on to say: “We’ll go back to my old house to see my mother in a few days. Don’t leave any scars that can be found by my mother.”
Sure enough, he had thought about it, how could he care about himself…
Ding~
Gu Yansheng took the phone to check. A message from an unfamiliar number, his face turned gloomy after clicking on it.
Seeing Gu Yansheng whose face suddenly changed, Wen Niannan asked worriedly: “What’s wrong? Is something going wrong with the company?”
Gu Yansheng suddenly get up from the table and walked towards the door. The sound of the car outside the house gradually disappeared, leaving nothing but a shocked Wen Niannan.
