Chapter 143: Chapter 143: I Just Want to Check Your Injury
Gu Yan took a glance at her father’s new hospital room and then truly left.
She didn’t want to have a direct confrontation with Mrs. Gu again, it’s always herself who suffers, and it may also harm her father.
As Tang Yuxiu accompanied her downstairs, just as they exited the hospital building, a young man hurriedly ran past Gu Yan, bumping into her right shoulder.
Gu Yan gasped in pain and held her shoulder.
The man turned back and said "sorry" before rushing off again, probably because someone important to him had been admitted to the hospital.
Tang Yuxiu quickly turned around, intending to scold the man to stop, but was stopped by Gu Yan, "Forget it, it was just an accident."
"An accident that left you in this state?" Her expression looked very painful; it wasn’t her right hand she was holding, but her right shoulder.
"What’s wrong with your shoulder?"
Gu Yan frowned, "Probably got hit by Aunt Gu with a broomstick before."
"Let’s go, get in the car and I’ll take a look!" Tang Yuxiu grabbed Gu Yan’s left hand, dragging her all the way to the car.
Inside the car, Tang Yuxiu told Gu Yan not to move around, leaned over, intending to pull down Gu Yan’s clothing to check her shoulder.
Gu Yan instinctively shrank her body back, his hand paused in mid-air.
Tang Yuxiu’s eyes flashed, he said: "I just want to look at your injury, I won’t do anything."
Gu Yan bowed her head slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed, and whispered, "I know, but..."
Seeing her hesitating, Tang Yuxiu immediately understood.
A gentle smile curved at the corners of his lips, "I’ve seen every part of you already, now it’s just your shoulder, it’s not like I’m doing anything, so why are you blushing?"
Gu Yan retorted, "I’m not blushing!"
The weather in August was still stiflingly hot, in this cramped car cabin, without the air conditioning on, Gu Yan felt like her face was on fire.
"Ha, do you want to look in the mirror?"
"What mirror? Even if I am blushing, it’s because of the heat. Why don’t you turn on the air conditioning, the weather’s so hot." Gu Yan started blaming Tang Yuxiu.
Tang Yuxiu didn’t continue to expose her, he turned on the car’s air conditioning, then leaned in closer, speaking softly, "Don’t be shy, let me take a look."
Gu Yan seemed to never have heard Tang Yuxiu speak to her so softly before, for a moment she was a bit dazed, Tang Yuxiu reached out his hands to undo her shirt’s buttons, she even forgot to refuse.
The two were very close, close enough to hear each other’s gentle breathing.
He undid the top two buttons of her shirt, his breath fell on her shoulder, she finally shivered and snapped back to reality.
Feeling uncomfortable, she shrank her shoulder back, pulling the injury on her shoulder, her brows furrowed.
Tang Yuxiu used the light inside the car to see her shoulder injury clearly, a distinct bruise from a stick, his hand gently touched it, Gu Yan felt a sharp pain and shrank her shoulder again.
Tang Yuxiu’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, his eyes cast a shadow, "Damn it, she hit you that hard!"
He shouldn’t have let that woman go so easily just now, no matter what, he should have given her a beating.
Even if losing his image and demeanor, so what!
Unforgivable!
Gu Yan gently buttoned up her shirt, "Why are you angry, I’m used to it."
She tried to fasten the buttons, but her other hand was wrapped tightly, and previously, Mrs. Gu had hit right on this hand; now that her father’s matter was over, she only started to feel the various pains.
Tang Yuxiu helped her button up, "You’ve always lived like this?"
Adopted daughter, beaten, insulted.
This is how she’s lived from childhood until now?
