YM778.TV Chapter 9 - 9 That's Not My Blood
“What did you mean by ‘Sijue’s woman’ just now?”
Li Yuan was disinfecting her wound when he heard her question and couldn’t help but pause, “Aren’t you?”
“That’s why I’m asking, what does ‘Sijue’s woman’ mean?”
“His name is Qin Sijue, I usually call him Sijue, so I called you Sijue’s woman.”
“…” Gu Qiangwei took a moment to clarify, “I’m not his woman!”
Li Yuan paused again, “You’re not?”
“Hmm.”
“Then why are you here? And on this bed!”
Having known Qin Sijue for ten years, let alone in his bed, Li Yuan had never seen him bring any woman back to this private residence, let alone sleep in his bed!
“I must have been rescued by him.” Gu Qiangwei was oblivious to Li Yuan’s following remark.
Li Yuan’s suspicious gaze rested on her, rescued by Sijue? That was even more unlikely!
“When did you meet him?”
Gu Qiangwei’s eyes shifted as she glanced at the pitch-black window.
“What time is it now?”
Li Yuan checked his watch, “12:43 AM!”
“Then it must have been yesterday afternoon.” Actually, that wasn’t really an acquaintance, it was just their first meeting.
Li Yuan was stunned, “Are you saying you only met him yesterday afternoon?”
Seeing his ghost-like expression, Gu Qiangwei was taken aback.
“What’s wrong?”
Li Yuan did not speak again but fell into deep thought.
At that moment, the room door was pushed open again, and Gu Qiangwei’s wound had been completely dressed by now.
“Aside from your forehead, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else?”
Gu Qiangwei shook her head, “No.”
“Really?”
The speaker was Qin Sijue, his black eyes conveying scrutiny.
When he had rescued her, her body was covered in blood, which couldn’t have come from the wound on her forehead, since that injury wasn’t deep enough to drench her nightgown in blood.
Meeting his piercing gaze, Gu Qiangwei paused for a moment.
Why was he looking at her with such a questioning look?
“Miss Gu, when we found you, you were all bloodied,” Luo Chen, standing to the side, couldn’t help but speak up.
It was he who had been driving, in the pitch-dark night, suddenly a figure rushed onto the road, and when he saw her all covered in blood, he thought he had hit someone!
Gu Qiangwei’s gaze shifted to Luo Chen, all bloodied?
“That, that wasn’t my blood.”
Thinking of Gu Shijie, Gu Qiangwei lowered her face.
Qin Sijue’s stern gaze also fell on her downcast face.
If it wasn’t her blood, then what exactly had happened to her last night?
Wait!
As if suddenly remembering something, Gu Qiangwei abruptly looked up, her eyes landing on Luo Chen’s face, “How do you know my last name is Gu?”
Last night when she left, she hadn’t carried any identification, so how did he know her last name was Gu?
Luo Chen glanced at Qin Sijue but did not respond to her question.
“If you’re sure you’re not hurt anywhere else, then I won’t bother to examine you further.” At this point, Li Yuan spoke up.
Gu Qiangwei’s gaze returned, “I’m sure.”
“Since that’s the case, then I—”
“You can leave now!”
Li Yuan hadn’t finished speaking when Qin Sijue abruptly cut in.
Li Yuan turned his face, looking toward the man leisurely seated on the sofa.
Such an imperious fellow! Dragged him out of bed in the middle of the night without even a thank you!
Luo Chen escorted Li Yuan out. In a moment, the room was left with only Qin Sijue and Gu Qiangwei.
