Chapter 165 Haggard Face
With his current condition, his existence would only cause harm to her. Although he didn't want to be parted from her, he could only choose to leave for her sake.
"Nuanxin, I will never abandon you. Wait for me. I will come back to see you."
Long Qingyue saw a girl fall to the ground not far away when he was driving. He got off his car quickly and ran towards her.
Mu Nuanxin raised her head when she heard footsteps approaching. There was great disappointment when she saw Long Qingyue. Her heart began to ache. The last person she wanted to see right now was him.
"Nuanxin!" Long Qingyue's eyes were bloodshot. He felt heartbroken when he looked at her who was in a pitiful condition. He slowly knelt down beside her and held her tightly in his arms. He was so happy to find her.
"It hurts! Long Qingyue, let go of me!" Mu Nuanxin frowned in pain. Although he avoided the scald on her back, he touched the injury inflicted by the masked man yesterday, which made her break out in a cold sweat.
Long Qingyue withdrew his hands quickly and asked nervously, "Where does it hurt? I'm sorry. I didn't mean it."
"You..." Mu Nuanxin was shocked when she saw his haggard face. His hair looked messy, his eyes were bloodshot, grey stubble covered his chin overnight, his head injury hadn't healed, and his clothes were dirty. Her heart ached when she noticed the sadness in his eyes.
She broke down in tears and then wiped her tears angrily. She hated herself like this. He left her alone to save another woman and she almost died because of that, but she couldn't help feeling sorry for him when seeing his sad face.
When he felt sad, she felt sad too.
"Where does it hurt? Ling Shaobai, come to check her over. Hurry up!" Long Qingyue spoke to Ling Shaobai behind him and held Mu Nuanxin's hand tightly for fear that she would disappear again.
Ling Shaobai walked quickly and replied, "Take her back to the car. I'll check her over."
When Long Qingyue was about to carry her in his arms, she dodged and said, "No need. I can walk."
He froze with disappointment. Mu Nuanxin's heart skipped a beat when she saw his bloodshot eyes flash with sadness. She gritted her teeth, struggled to get up and walked towards the car while holding back the tears.
She didn't want them to discover the house where Yun Jue lived, no matter whether he would come back here or not. She just wanted to keep this place for him.
Ling Shaobai looked at his friend who was very sad, patted Long Qingyue on the shoulder and then followed Mu Nuanxin.
Behind the tree, Yun Jue clenched his fists tightly and stared at Mu Nuanxin who was leaving. After she got into the car, he closed his eyes in pain and left.
When Ling Shaobai checked the scald on her back in the car, he found that medicine had been applied to her injury and the medicine was much better than the medicine he used. He glanced at Mu Nuanxin in surprise and asked, "Nuanxin, who applied the medicine to your injury?"
"The one who saved me yesterday," Mu Nuanxin said briefly.
"What happened yesterday?" Long Qingyue looked at her nervously and asked. He was heartbroken when he saw her injury.
"Nothing, I just encountered a bad guy and almost died," Mu Nuanxin replied coldly. Her eyes flashed with fear and her body started to tremble at the thought of what had happened yesterday, though she sounded casual.
If Yun Jue hadn't arrived in time, she would have died yesterday. She felt very afraid when thinking of the man's cruelty.
Long Qingyue froze and looked at her in disbelief. He didn't expect that a slight error in thought could almost kill her.
He was gripped by fear and hugged her tightly. "Sorry. I'm sorry. Nuanxin, I know I made a mistake. Please forgive me this time. I'll never leave you alone again." He kept apologizing.
Mu Nuanxin burst into tears. She pushed him away and huddled in the back seat, looking out the window.
"If you want me to say I forgive you, I'll disappoint you. I can't forgive you. Leave me alone and let me calm myself down." Mu Nuanxin couldn't lie to herself. She minded what he had done yesterday and felt heartbroken at the thought of it.
"Nuanxin, I know you hate me. You can beat or abuse me, but please don't ignore me," Long Qingyue begged while looking at her with remorse.
"Yue, you drive the car. You can talk after going back." Ling Shaobai gently pulled Long Qingyue's arm, shook his head to signal Long Qingyue not to disturb her, and then got off the car.
Long Qingyue looked at her sadly. He knew it was all his fault, so he wouldn't be annoyed no matter how she treated him. He reluctantly left the back seat, got into the driver's seat and drove home. He couldn't avert his eyes from her.
When they got home, Mu Nuanxin had already fallen asleep. Her sleep was uneasy. She was covered in cold sweat and frowned. Long Qingyue felt sad when he looked at her tired face. He carried her in his arms carefully and walked to the bedroom quickly.
Feng Siye arrived too and waited with Ling Shaobai in the living room.
In the bedroom, Long Qingyue carefully took off Mu Nuanxin's clothes. When her slender body came into sight, he found there were many bruises on her fair skin. Obviously, someone beat her.
He looked at those bruises and felt as if someone had punched him in the chest. His eyes became red and sore. Who was so cruel to such a weak girl? If he knew who did it, he would kill the person!
He calmed himself with his eyes closed. After a while, he covered her with a blanket and left the bedroom. When the door was closed, Mu Nuanxin's eyes were opened, and then slowly closed. There were tears in her eyes.
Long Qingyue told Ling Shaobai about her injuries. They frowned and wished they could cut the person who hurt Mu Nuanxin into pieces.
Ling Shaobai took out the best medicine from his medicine storage box and explained to Long Qingyue how to use it before handing it to Long Qingyue. Long Qingyue took the medicine and quickly returned to the bedroom without wasting time, but the bed was empty.
