Expectedly, a large group of people was outside the doors and was blocked from entering the manor.

It was very crowded and noisy outside the manor but very quiet inside.

Acting out of the norm, Gu Shinian quietly helped Qin Muchen remove the shards of glass on his back and then apply medication on the wounds methodically.

Her movements were very light and gentle.

Although Qin Muchen was not the slightest bit bothered by these minor injuries, she was still afraid of hurting him.

“Don’t touch the wounds. Don’t let any water get into them either. ”

“I will come over every day to change the dressing and apply medication for you. Try not move this hand too much for the time being.”

Bit by bit, she docilely and quietly helped him to wipe clean the blood on his hands.

Qin Muchen casually leaned on the headboard and sized up her pale face with a cold gaze. His lips curled into a cold smile and he said fiercely, “What are you afraid of?”

For a while, she had been silent.

Even her voice sounded stiff now.

Gu Shinian’s hands trembled. The needle that was used to stitch the wound pierced the back of his hand.

The man remained motionless but she jumped in shock. “Sorry. Sorry!”

She pulled out the needle frantically and a drop of blood oozed out from the wound.

At the sight of her flustered look, Qin Muchen lifted his hands and wrapped them around her waist, blocking her from retreating. “Gu Shinian, what is there to be afraid of?”

“Three years ago, when you did that without any hesitation, you should have predicted the outcome of today.”

That she would have a very tough life.

This was because Qin Muchen was the one she ‘touched’.

His background was extremely powerful and had too many connections. If he were to miscalculate, the people under his wings would also be adversely impacted.

It was not strange that they were after her life.

Gu Shinian was grabbed by him and sitting on his lap, her heart was in chaos.

In fact, she did not foresee that.

Many years ago, she planned everything too quickly. She was only filled with thoughts of protecting Qin Muchen.

Hence, she never thought that her betrayal would attract so many fatal calamities.
