Gong Yan felt his body soften as he lifted the woman's fingers and held them tightly in his hands before sitting down on the edge of the bed. His deep eyes were fixed on the woman's face for an instant, "Yeah, I'm not leaving."
His tone was one of care and carefulness that he hadn't expected.
Pei Luoyi listened for a moment before letting go of the heart that had been hanging in the air. She then nodded her head and looked around the room.
She was extremely dizzy. Closing her eyes, she placed one hand on her forehead and asked, "Where is this place …"
The room was dark, and because it was raining outside and the light was not very good, she did not recognize that she had actually been here once before.
The woman's face grew paler against the dark bedspread.
Being trapped for a few days and not eating anything for the next few days, and then being thrown into the water for a while, it would be weird if he had a good expression.
The only difference was that his voice was still gentle, "Now that you're in my room, your expression isn't that good. I'll have the doctor come over and let you have a look, hm?"
The last monosyllabic syllable sounded like an inquiry, but as soon as he finished speaking, he took out his phone and made a call.
As he spoke to the other end of the phone, the woman seemed to be in a state of terrible discomfort and fell asleep again.
When he hung up and saw the scene, he frowned, glanced at her drenched clothes, then picked up the phone to light up the screen and dialed again.
After receiving the order, the family doctor didn't dare to be negligent. He packed his things and rushed to the villa through the rain. In the end, he was locked outside the door.
After the servants dressed the sleeping Pei Loyi in a clean set of clothes, Gong Yan took a simple shower and walked out of the bathroom.
Only then did the doctor outside the door come in to examine the woman.
About 20 minutes later.
The doctor hung the woman up and watched the man's attention was all on the sleeping woman. He didn't dare to disturb her, so he left the room with a few servants.
In a dim and quiet room, a dim bedside lamp illuminated a corner of warmth.
Even the sudden claps of thunder outside the window did not move the man's gaze away from that clean face.
Deep, complicated emotions flashed through his eyes that were as black as the depths of the ocean during a silent night.
"What should I do with you …"
In a quiet room, a man's low and hoarse voice slowly sounded.
Long clean fingers gently brushed away the hair on the side of the woman's face, and then caressed those two dry lips, unconsciously stroking them.
The screen froze at this moment as time quietly flowed by.
After who knows how long, the woman woke up from her deep sleep.
Pei Luoyi opened her eyes, and what entered her eyes was the man's incomparably deep eyes. The thirst and pain in her throat dissipated quite a bit. "Gong Yan …"
"Mm …"
When Pei Luoyi saw his gentle appearance, she felt a sense of unfamiliarity with him.
But that wasn't important. What was important was that she was …
"I want to pee …"
Gong Yan, "..."
He was both angry and amused. He then laughed helplessly, "Pei Luoyi, can you not say such unsightly words the moment you open your eyes?"
Pei Luoyi pouted as she felt wronged and muttered in a low voice, "But I'm really in a hurry …"
I can't blame her. During the hours she was asleep, the doctor came over and changed her for a few drops. The last bottle was a few minutes before she woke up and hung up the needle.
No wonder she woke up with such urgent physical needs.
The man leaned down and picked the woman up in a good-natured way, and in the space she didn't see, a dim darkness flashed across his eyes.
Gong Yan carried the woman into the bathroom and sat her on the toilet. Then he squatted down and reached for her pants.
"What are you doing?"
Pei Luoyi didn't hesitate to slap away her talon, and looked at the man with wide eyes.
The man frowned. "Didn't you want to go to the toilet?"
Hearing this, Pei Luoyi's eyes widened. She didn't know if the man was doing it on purpose or not, but she waved her hands in front of the man and asked, "Mister Gong, are my hands healthy?"
The man's lips curled up into an extremely faint smile. "Then your legs are sound as well. Why didn't you stop me when I hugged you just now?"
Pei Luoyi was like a punctured balloon, and his aura immediately deflated.
She admitted that she felt a little lustful of the feeling of being held in the man's arms.
From the moment she felt suffocated in the lake and saw this man, she felt an inexplicable sense of security. At that time, the feeling of imminent death was too real, and this man had become her only redemption …
The faint feeling in her stomach made her suddenly remember that she still had something important to do. She got up and pushed the man towards the door, saying, "I, I'm dying soon. You go out first."
The door slammed.
The man stood outside the door. His handsome face was hidden by the dim light. He lowered his head and smiled.
He turned around. Not long later, he saw Tang Sen hastily push open the door and walk in, a grave expression on his face.
Gong Yan's smile faded as his brows sank. "What happened?"
If it wasn't something extremely urgent, with his self-awareness as a subordinate, he wouldn't be so rash as to knock on the door and barge into his immediate superior's bedroom.
Tang Sen's face tightened. "Young Master Gong, we just received a call from the hospital. Elder Gong and Old Madam are quarreling right now due to a heart attack. They're in the emergency room right now."
"..."
When Pei Luoyi came out, the man was in the midst of changing his clothes. From the looks of it, he was about to leave.
But it was pouring rain outside.
"You … Do you want to go out? "
She walked over slowly, her face raised as she asked in a low, uncertain voice.
Gong Yan was buttoning his jacket when he heard her shout. He raised his head and looked at her for a moment before replying with an "En."
When he finished buttoning up, before the woman could react, he grabbed the back of her head with one hand and placed a warm kiss on her forehead. It was like a feather gently brushing over her forehead.
"I have something to take care of, so you go back to your bed and lie down obediently. Later, I'll have the servants cook dinner and bring it to you. Hmm?"
Pei Luoyi was still lost in her thoughts on that indescribable kiss. Upon hearing this, she could only nod her head in a daze.
The man turned and walked out of the room, but she was still standing on the spot.
She touched the spot between her eyebrows where she had been kissed and blinked, feeling lost for a moment.
He … Kiss her.
What does that mean?
When she heard the car start, she went to the window and pulled back the dark curtains.
Under the hazy rain, the man's figure climbed onto the back seat of the car under a large black umbrella.
Following which, they drove out of the residence.
