Chapter 179 - This body belongs to me

He didn't give her any reply but silently kneeled down in front of her and asked her about skin care products. "There are many bottles, looking all similar to me. Tell me which product is supposed to be applied first and in what quantity? I'll help you…"

Not expecting the question, she frowned but anyway answered him, "The blue spray bottle is a toner, three sprays on my face and neck and then the moisturizer in a green jar, a pea size drop on your palm"

"Hm!"

He did it exactly as specified by her, careful enough to cover her eyes while spraying toner on her face.

"Feng Jianyu….."

"Breakfast time is long gone, let's have brunch together," He said, holding her feet to make her wear slippers. "Where would you like to eat? In the room or back garden?"

Xiu Mei "…."

Her frown hardened; somehow it felt as if there were two different lines of conversation happening between them. Why had he asked her to share everything with him? And why did he suddenly ignored her statement?

She understood that he is deeply hurt by her continuous detachment from him about the past. She recalled his behavior since the time they had been living together here. He had been the personification of patience, care, and love towards her. Despite his open claim that he is courting her, never for once, he tried to take advantage of her or even kissed her, all he did was mere teasing. Not a word of reprimand had left his mouth when she kept on blaming him. Selflessly he kept on loving her in the belief that one day she will respond to his love.

Over and above, he held her in the arms protectively every time they come close and treated her like his most precious treasure. He even neglected the heavy losses Feng Communication must be going through right now, because of the satellite hovering over her head to protect her from any danger.

And yet he never bothered to tell her about it. His selflessness pierced like a knife right through her heart. It was more like a one-sided relationship where only Jianyu was making all the efforts. Xiu Mei wanted to look at him, but her current condition forbids her to do so.

When she didn't answer him for a long time, he suggested her to have brunch in the back garden patio, thinking it will be a good change for her.

As he was about to hold her again, she stopped him. He looked at her surprisingly.

"What happens?"

Without paying any heed to his question she bends forward towards the dressing table and brushed her hands gingerly by feeling everything with her fingers.

"Crash…. Thump…. Thack…" few bottles fell down on the table in the process. Ignoring the sound she reached for the second drawer of the table and took out a first aid box.

"Mei, tell me what are you looking for? I'll get it for you. You'll hurt yourself in the process"

"Shh…" Her hand landed on his forehead instead of lips to shush him up.

"First aid box? Are you hurt somewhere?" Removing her hand from his forehead he runs his eyes on her body from top to bottom to check for any visible injuries. "Tell me where?"

"Badly hurt! Hand over a cotton ball dipped in antiseptic liquid" she said, passing the box to the man who was sitting in the kneeled down position in front of her. "Hurry up! It's hurting me badly! I'm in pain"

Without any second thought, he soaked the cotton ball in antiseptic, worried she is really hurt somewhere. "It's done! Tell me where the injury is, I'll apply the medicine"

"Give it to me first!"

"Mei?"

"Don't argue! Give the damn cotton to me. Now" Her tone sounded firm and cold.

He exhaled audibly, "Fine! Here it is!"

Next second a gasp escaped Jianyu's mouth when her soft hands started running over his naked chest gingerly and stopped near his neck. She felt something under her fingers and carefully dabbed the cotton ball over his neck, occasionally blowing cool air on the site.

Last night she had scratched and dugged her nails on his neck and shoulder in her frantic state. He didn't complain about it but being aware of how she behaved last night, she was sure he must be hurt badly there.

"I told you, it's hurting me badly! Always remember, preach what you teach. If I'm not allowed to be careless about my body, then the same rule applies to you too. You dare be careless, Feng Jianyu. This body belongs to me and you better take care of it properly" She bites her tongue after saying the last sentence, realizing how bad it sounds and Feng Jianyu raised his one brow questionably.
