100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 480: I Will Get Better

Xiaoqiao’s heart finally returned to where it belonged.

She was becoming increasingly fearful of loss, always afraid that he would leave her because of this.

Xiaoqiao silently took the medicine and water and swallowed it down in one go.

Worried about hurting him, she asked hesitantly, "Gu Hangshen... is your leg okay?"

"It’s fine, it’s just the calf that got injured." Gu Hangshen took the empty cup and placed it on the table.

"Would it be okay if I arranged for someone to protect you? Do you still remember Mu Yao?"

"Mu Yao... wasn’t she my assistant back then?"

No wonder she felt so formidable and skilled when she first saw her. Was she the one Gu Hangshen had arranged to protect her all along?

How much of a worry must she have been for him, always needing his protection in every situation, fearing the slightest mishap.

Regarding the saying, "Because there is someone I must protect, I am bound to lose," she now nearly lacked the confidence to argue.

"Yes, she was trained by Lu Dong and is very skilled. You knew each other before, so she’s a good choice." Gu Hangshen saw her hanging her head low and asked, "What’s wrong? Are you unhappy? If you don’t want it, we can forget about it."

As Gu Hangshen spoke, he felt something drop onto the back of his hand and was startled. "Why are you crying? Xiaoqiao?"

Without speaking, she hugged him with a trembling body, "Gu Hangshen... I’m sorry... sorry... It’s all my fault you got hurt!"

Gu Hangshen kissed her eyes full of distress. He had been suffering in silence, and had neglected the fact that she too was experiencing the pain of guilt and self-blame.

"Leng Tou has already arranged for a doctor; the reconstructive surgery can be done tomorrow. When I was shooting, I was careful, it’s just a superficial wound. And with proper rehabilitation after the leg surgery, I can still walk like a normal person..." Gu Hangshen patiently comforted her.

Xiaoqiao knew he was just trying to comfort her. If the reconstructive surgery failed, it could easily cause stiffness and lack of coordination in the face.

Even if the legs heal well, at best she would be able to walk, but could no longer engage in strenuous sports.

"Damn it... Why do you always have to be like this! You make me feel so bad, so willful, so unreasonable! Even if all that heals... I still caused you to lose even your ability as a man! I’ll never be able to forgive myself in this lifetime..."

He had only intended to tease her, but he didn’t expect to put so much pressure on her.

Gu Hangshen massaged his temples and, holding her face, wiped away her tears, "I promise I will recover one by one! Do you believe me?"

"You don’t need to comfort me anymore!" Xiaoqiao sobbed.

"Kiss me." freeweɓnovel.cøm

He suddenly spoke, and Xiaoqiao, not understanding, just stared at him blankly.

"I’ll prove it to you."

Xiaoqiao didn’t understand what he meant by "I’ll prove it to you," she just stared at him blankly, "But... I have a cold."

"I know." He bent down and captured her lips, not with the usual tenderness and reassurance, but with a kiss filled purely with desire.

With shocked wide eyes, she looked at him as if her pupils were shimmering with the stars of the entire universe. Gradually, her slightly pale cheeks became flushed with red, and she looked a bit panicked and flustered.

Yet she was still uncertain whether the growing reaction from where she was seated was due to Gu Hangshen... so she shifted slightly and reached out to touch and confirm it.

"Don’t move."
