Qi Shifeng said in a low voice, "It might be a problem left over from the car accident yesterday. I'll go get the medicine. Could you help me apply it? Don't let anyone else know."
"Car accident? Yesterday? Why didn't you tell me?"
Xu Tingyu was stunned.
No wonder he came back so late yesterday. It turned out he wasn't in a meeting at the company but had been in a car accident.
"Who should I tell?"
Qi Shifeng looked down and asked rhetorically, a helpless smile on his lips.
Xu Tingyu immediately understood what he meant.
Youyou was just a little over four years old, and she was his ex - wife. As for the others in the family, it was even less appropriate...
And on the Qi family's side.
Qi Shifeng had always been distant from Liu Ning, and the old man was so serious.
So although he seemed powerful, in fact, there was no one behind him.
Beneath his seemingly cold and aloof face, there was also his own vulnerability.
Xu Tingyu stared at him for a moment, then pursed her lips. "Sit down. I'll go get it."
The man didn't refuse. He watched her walk out with a smile.
Sure enough, showing his vulnerability appropriately worked on this woman.
Four years ago, she had a gentle appearance but a tough heart.
Four years later, she looked cold on the outside, like a feisty but actually timid little wildcat. Show a bit of weakness to her, and she would become gentle.
When Xu Tingyu came back with the ointment, she found that he had unbuttoned his shirt completely.
His lean but well - built muscles with smooth and undulating lines were faintly visible.
After so many years, seeing him like this again, Xu Tingyu silently gasped. She was somewhat at a loss to describe the shock she felt at this sight.
She only felt as if her scalp was exploding, and her heart was beating faster and faster.
But she didn't want the man to notice, so she averted her gaze and walked over quickly.
"Do you have any other injuries? Didn't you go to the hospital yesterday?"
She put on disposable gloves, poured the medicinal oil into her palm, rubbed it to warm it up, and then applied it to his bruised area.
She didn't leave immediately but slowly massaged him.
"No. I was very busy yesterday. There was no bleeding, so I didn't go to the hospital."
The moment her hand touched him, Qi Shifeng's body became extremely excited.
The rationality that he had planned to maintain was collapsing bit by bit. He could even hear the sound of his blood flowing crazily for her.
"You'd better go to the hospital. Qi Shifeng, your body is the premise of everything. What's the use of having a great company if your body breaks down?"
She bent down slightly, her long hair falling in a graceful and delicate way.
Her clear and bright eyes were like a mirror, illuminating his unfathomable desires.
However, she knew nothing, and she just massaged more and more nervously.
Because she suddenly remembered that last year, once, she was receiving clients from the capital city.
When she heard them chatting, they mentioned Qi Shifeng.
They said that he had had many accidents, big and small, in the past two years and had been hospitalized twice. It seemed that he had offended someone important.
So the Qi family had been very low - key in recent years. Almost no one showed up in public.
Qi Shifeng himself never accepted any interviews.
At that time, Xu Tingyu only thought this statement was absurd.
There were always bodyguards around him.
Moreover, he had always been very low - key. The only time he was high - profile was because of Xie Yu.
And with the power and status of the Qi family, who could he have offended? And why would they just let this person threaten his life?
So she just regarded it as an absurd piece of gossip at that time.
Now seeing the injury on Qi Shifeng's waist, she suddenly remembered this incident.
Once she thought of it, she just asked directly, "Who have you offended? Why did the car accident happen? Have you found out?"
Qi Shifeng stared fixedly at her eyebrows and eyes.
The light fell into her eyes, and her beauty made him intoxicated.
Even through the disposable gloves, he could feel the warmth of her palm.
Her delicate and boneless hands moved gently, but they stirred up a storm in his heart.
He didn't even hear what she was saying. He just stared at her, and the faint fragrance from her body filled his nostrils.
His uncontrollable eyes seemed to want to devour her.
Xu Tingyu waited for a while but didn't get an answer.
She heard his heavy breathing and saw that he was sweating profusely. She thought he was in pain, so she let go of her hand. While taking off the gloves, she spoke again.
"It seems the situation is not good. Let's go to the hospital now. Otherwise, you'll lose your waist."
She threw the gloves into the trash can and reached out her hand to him.
"Where's your phone? I'll send a message to Jiang Li and ask him to arrange... He's still your assistant, right?"
Of course, she knew that Jiang Li was still his most commonly used assistant.
But she still had to pretend a little.
Qi Shifeng was parched. Looking at the fair and slender hand in front of him and remembering her actions on his body just now, he couldn't help but let out a heavy breath.
"Tingyu..."
He called her name, with pain and suppression intertwined in his eyes, as if he was brewing a storm.
Xu Tingyu had no idea that his mind was full of inappropriate thoughts now.
She thought he was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak. Immediately, regardless of anything else, she reached out her hand and wanted to take the phone from his pants pocket.
As soon as she got close to him, she was suddenly hugged tightly.
"Tingyu, can I kiss you?"
He put his arm around her waist and almost pulled her into his arms. When he spoke, he exhaled a breath in a low voice, and his voice was also lowered.
She had never seen him so suppressed.
She subconsciously reached out her hand and touched his forehead. "Are you having a fever? Why are you talking nonsense?"
If he was in pain, would kissing her relieve the pain?
The most urgent thing was to go to the hospital.
The moment she touched his forehead, Qi Shifeng's breathing stopped for a moment.
He actually wondered about himself a bit.
Why was his reaction to her so strong? Just her getting close to him and touching him made his blood boil like a raging tide.
He wished he could immediately turn her over and press her down regardless of anything.
But he knew he couldn't be impatient.
Showing his vulnerable side had just worked. If he showed too much eagerness, he would only scare her away.
So before getting permission, he didn't kiss her. He could only let his rationality be led by her.
"Bear with it. I'll call now."
She successfully took out the phone from his pocket and unlocked it with his face.
The moment the phone got close and the unlocking was successful, Qi Shifeng couldn't help but close his eyes.
On the screen, he saw the undisguised lust in his own eyes.
And she was in his arms, but he couldn't kiss her.
Asking him to bear with it was really torture for him.
Xu Tingyu lowered her head, found Jiang Li's number, and sent a message, briefly explaining the situation and asking him to arrange a car to pick them up.
Then she threw the phone aside and helped him button up his shirt.
"You're really something. You should have gone to the hospital yesterday when you got injured. Now you're in so much pain."
She was blaming him for not knowing what was more important, but her voice unconsciously became gentle, which made his heart itch.
His dark eyes drooped, and he stared at her motionlessly. Suddenly, he curled up a smile.
"Even if you hate me, I still have to..."
