C217 Scald

As Wang Qian slid forward, the folder in his hands fell, and the cup of coffee fell out of the cup.

Ah!

Bai Youyou screamed in shock as she saw the brown colored coffee fall towards her in a beautiful arc. She only had enough time to raise her hand and block it with her arm.

The scalding coffee landed on her arm. Through the thin layer of clothes, it was so hot that it reached her soft and tender skin. Bai Youyou breathed in deeply in pain.

"What's wrong?!"

Ye Mingchen rushed into the office and saw a man in a suit sprawled on the ground, and Bai Youyou who was still in shock sitting in front of the desk.

Her eyes were watery and mesmerizing.

Bai Youyou regained her senses and carefully pulled the clothes off of her arm to ease the pain of the scalding.

Her eyes turned red, a reaction from the pain. Bai Youyou felt warmth in her eyes and immediately blinked.

It was too embarrassing to cry about such a thing.

Ye Mingchen quickly walked in front of her and grabbed her wrist, gently stroking her long sleeves.

Even though he felt that her strength was weak, Bai Youyou was still trembling from the scraping of the clothes.

"Pain?"

Ye Mingchen's voice was extremely low and deep. The dark eyes stared at her, the bottomless pupils making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"I'll be gentler."

As Ye Mingchen spoke, he pulled Bai Youyou's sleeves up, and saw a large patch of red on her fair and small arms. Just a moment ago, there were a few blisters on them.

No wonder the pain was so excruciating that tears were about to flow out.

Ye Mingchen felt his heart ache, and his voice unconsciously softened: "Are there any medical cases?"

"Yes." Bai Youyou said blankly, under Ye Mingchen's gaze, she pointed to the small cabinet under the bookshelf.

Wang Qian took the chance to carefully crawl back up. This time, he was alright, he wanted to show off in front of Bai Youyou, but ended up losing face.

He looked at the coffee at his feet. How could he have fallen if he hadn't accidentally spilled some coffee! How could he be reduced to such a state!

Furthermore, Bai Youyou seemed to be injured because of this.

The temperament of the mature and successful man disappeared like smoke into thin air. From time to time, Wang Qian would carefully glance at the other two people in the office.

Bai Youyou opened her wound a few times, noticing the helpless Wang Qian, and said helplessly: "You should go, go call the cleaning woman over to clean up."

She did not have the mood to continue observing Wang Qian, so she continued to lower her head to look at her injuries.

After a while, the blister on her arm grew larger and larger. She was in so much pain that she was about to grimace.

"Yes."

Wang Qian hurriedly nodded, but met Ye Mingchen's gaze.

He subconsciously took a step back because he recognized this person. When he was at the Millennium Ancient City, he was waiting outside the tavern for Bai Youyou.

He didn't expect to meet Ye Mingchen. His eyes were like those of a wolf's, and he felt scared just by a glance.

Wang Qian naturally knew that he was Bai Youyou's husband, so he ran off in a sensible manner.

Who would have thought that they would run into each other again so carelessly?

Ye Mingchen's gaze was still frightening, but there was an extra bit of hatred.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Bai Youyou raised her eyes and looked at him.

Wang Qian quickly said: "Then I'll be leaving first. Director Bai, you have something to call me."

Ye Mingchen placed the medicine box on the desk and took out the scalding salve. Luckily the medicine box was fully equipped, and had everything that he needed.

His thin lips parted. "Hold your hand straight."

Bai Youyou honestly reached out her hand and held her fingers in her big, clear hands.
