As he spoke, Baby Chu took another look at Jiang Qimeng, who was now lying on the floor in a sorry state. He could not bear to see her like this. “She looks rather pitiful! Besides, killing someone will only dirty Uncle’s hands!”
Gu Jinglian frowned and could not help but wonder if this little fellow was his biological son. Why was he so hopelessly soft-hearted?
Had he forgotten that this “rather pitiful woman” had put her dirty hand around his neck and even pressed a dagger up against it?
Butler Fu said as well, “Old Master, don’t dirty your hands. Leave such a person to me, I’ll deal with her for you.”
Then, he whispered into Gu Jinglian’s ear, “You ought to be more careful in front of the child. Otherwise, you’ll scare him. Baby Chu is only five years old.”
That too, made sense to Gu Jinglian hence he nodded slightly in agreement. “I’ll leave her to you then.”
Butler Fu nodded.
Gu Jinglian carried Baby Chu and returned to the room. After the dangerous episode, both of them were drenched from head to toe, looking in a sorry state.
Once Gu Jinglian stepped into the room, Baby Chu quickly wriggled out of his arms and started rummaging through the drawers.
“What are you looking for?”
Baby Chu didn’t bother to say anything. Finally, he found a first aid kit in the cabinet. He was very observant. A few days ago, Butler Fu had accidentally hurt his finger and used a band-aid. Thereafter, he had placed the first aid kit here.
The boy carried the first aid kit and walked back to Gu Jinglian. He said with great care, “Uncle, your arm is injured. Let me help you apply the medicine!”
Gu Jinglian seized the kid up suspiciously, wondering why he was being so unaccountably solicitous.
He replied, “That’s not necessary! I can do it myself!”
“You’re definitely not as good as I am at bandaging!”
As Baby Chu spoke, he pushed the man onto the sofa and emphasized again, “You only have to sit and leave the rest to me!”
Gu Jinglian looked at him with disdain and questioned, “Can you do it?”
“Of course! Mom often gets injured, and whenever she does I’ll take care of her wounds! Uncle, you have to trust my ability!”
As he said this, Baby Chu grabbed his sleeve. There was a slash on Gu Jinglian’s arm, but fortunately, the wound was not deep and there was no need for stitches. All he needed to do was clean the wound and bandage it.
Gu Jinglian simply leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes, letting the little guy do whatever he wanted.
Baby Chu opened the first aid box and rolled up his sleeves. Then, he picked up a pair of tweezers and carefully picked up an alcohol swab with the intention of applying it on his wound.
Unexpectedly, his hand was too small, and the pair of tweezers too big for him to handle. All of a sudden, the alcohol swab slipped off, and the sharp forceps jabbed into the wound.
“…!” Gu Jinglian jumped.
His eyes snapped open and glared at Baby Chu. “What was that?”
Even if it was alcohol, it shouldn’t hurt so much!
Baby Chu felt a little guilty and retracted his hand that was holding the tweezers. Fortunately, Gu Jinglian did not notice it. The boy giggled. “Uncle, so you’re afraid of pain too?”
The corners of Gu Jinglian’s lips twitched and he snorted. “Nonsense.”
He frowned, once again suspicious. “If you don’t know how to do it, I’ll do it myself.”
“Come one, it wasn’t my best performance just then! It was your fault for moving around!”
The man was flabbergasted.
He looked at the boy questioningly.
When did he move?!
Obviously this child could not handle it, yet he was blaming it on others.
Gu Jinglian grit his teeth and sat back patiently.
