Chapter 1476: Is it torture or sweetness?
“It’s great that there’s nothing wrong; my heart could be seriously traumatized by today’s event . ” Madam Ji lay on the sofa as she panted . “Thank goodness that you’re alright . I’m at ease now . ”
“Auntie, are you all right?” Pei Ge quickly held the older woman’s hand . Seeing her pale complexion, she was stunned . “Do you want me to send you to the hospital?” She was fine despite her fall, but the older woman had truly received a shock because of it .
“No need; I’ll rest for a bit by lying here . ” The older woman closed her eyes slightly and shot a glance at Qu Jingwan as she forced a smile . “Thank goodness you were here today . If not, I would’ve…”
“Rest assured, auntie; I’ll always be around . Rest well and have some water first . ” The lady kneeled on one leg at her side . She placed the glass of water before her mouth . “Drink some water, auntie . Pei Ge is fine, and you’ll be okay, too . If you really don’t feel well, we’ll bring you to the hospital since our family’s hospital can take care of you better . ”
Mother Ji sat up and took the glass from her . “Jingwan, don’t worry about me . I’m all right; you rest a bit, too . You must be shocked today, right?”
“That’s right, auntie . When I saw her falling from the top of the staircase, I didn’t know what to do at first . ” Her obedient look successfully won over the older woman’s heart, and only Pei Ge saw right through her .
She sat at one side with a disgusted look as she watched the two sympathize with each other but could not do anything about it . Keeping this weakness now might come in handy in the future .
By the time Ji Ziming got back, it was already night . The setting sun dyed the sky red . The tall, lean, and beautiful man in his dark-blue suit had his icy look .
Pei Ge was standing on the balcony, watering a pot of camellia flowers, at this moment . The flowers were blooming so delicately just like the beauties from an ancient drawing .
The man gently hugged the woman from the back, shocking her into splashing some water to him . Just like that, the top-quality suit’s neatness was ruined by her .
“Your clothes…”
“It’s okay . Anyway it’s not the first time that you ruined the neatness of my clothes . ” His aloof voice rang in her ears and slowly soothed her heart .
The man’s hand moved upward, intending to hug her shoulders, but before he could complete his action, she let out a painful scream .
“Ouch!”
“What’s wrong?” He immediately let go and saw the woman protecting her elbow . He pulled her arm and rolled up her sleeve, only to find her elbow stained with some residual blood . A large part of the skin was scratched, and the area around it was swollen, appearing bluish-red . It was clearly something which failed to be concealed .
“How did you end up like this?! I’ll call Dr . Duanmu to come over now . ”
The moment Pei Ge heard about that doctor, she thought of what had happened this afternoon and how it was best if few people knew about it .
“Don’t call him over; he was just here earlier . ”
“Since he was here, where’s the medicine? Why didn’t you apply it?” The man’s cold eyes darkened, and her heart melted when she saw the heartache in his eyes .
“I left the medicine on the table and haven’t gotten the chance to apply it . ” Her beautiful eyes were like ripples while the redness in them was akin to red ink, which complemented her exquisite features . Ji Ziming was stunned by this look .

“Stop watering, and let’s go . I’ll apply the medicine on you . ” He regained his senses and pulled the woman’s hand toward the living room .
“Wait a bit . Let me put down this watering can down . ” The woman held onto him as she placed the gardening tool on top of a shelf in the shed before following him into the house .
He opened the bottle of iodophor and frowned as he looked at the brownish-black liquid . He asked while looking upset, “It might hurt a bit when I apply this . Can you take it?”
“I can . Just apply it; I’m not scared of pain . ”
“Really not scared of pain?”
“Not scared . ” The woman shook her head and the determination in her eyes looked like a promise .
“You’re not in pain but my heart is . ” He lowered his head and his eyelashes fluttered like a butterfly’s wings . His thick brows were like two sharp knives as he pursed his lips lightly and spoke in an alluring voice which reached the depths of the woman’s heart . “I don’t wish for you to be injured, even a bit isn’t allowed . ”
“I know; I’ll be more careful next time . ” Pei Ge nodded as the man’s long arm stretched past her to take the iodophor on the table .
“Let me help you apply . ” Ji Ziming pulled the woman’s hand, and her small wrist felt really smooth . If there were no injuries on her arm, he intended to hug her and enjoy some intimacy .
“Alright, then; I’ll let you apply it . ” The woman withdrew her hand from his and spoke clearly and sweetly . “Apply properly; I’m actually scared of pain . ”

“I’m in more pain than you . ” His words came true .
Right after applying a layer on the woman and seeing her in so much pain that she was drawing a deep breath, the man got anxious and did not dare to continue with the application .
“We’re not applying anymore; let’s just go upstairs . ” He put down the cotton bud in his hand and looked at his woman with heartache in his eyes .
“It’s fine . Just continue since you already started it . Plus, this minor injury is nothing much . ” The woman shifted her arm and reached out for the iodophor but was stopped by him .
“You’re in pain . ”
“What if I’m in pain? Only when it hurts will it mean that the medicine works . If you don’t continue applying it, I’ll do it myself . ”
“My heart hurts for you . ”
“Then, apply it fast . If I recover quicker, I can go to the office and work faster . ”
“Go to the office?” The man frowned as his deep gaze shifted onto her . It sounded slightly vicious as he exuded a deterring aura . “You wanna go to the company and work?”
“Yeah . ”

Pei Ge frowned . Who actually fell and hurt their head?
“I don’t allow it . ” The man took another cotton bud, dipped it in the iodophor, and pressed it on her injured skin . Although she shrieked in pain, he did not let go .
“What are you doing?!” She quickly withdrew her arm, and the pain from the broken skin cleared her head instantly .
The man in front of her had an unmatched, handsome face . It was still the early spring of March, but his face had become so frosty that it seemed to be the harshest winter right now . She shuddered in fright and her body instinctively leaned backward .
“Why are you hiding? Am I a monster that eats humans?” He leaned forward as he looked at her with teasing eyes .
