Chapter 1243 - Feeding Her Medicine (2/2)

When he spoke, his masculine breath with a faint tobacco smell landed on her face, blowing at her hair strands, making her heart flutter.

He tightened his hold on her chin, a cold smile appearing on his handsome face. “You’re so young yet you know how to seduce men. Did your sister teach you that?”

Sister, Sister…

Seeming to have thought of something, tears filled Cen Xi’s eyes. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something when a cold voice sounded. “What are you doing here?”

Bai Lin went to borrow a first-aid kit and his expression turned dark when he saw Qiao Yanze in his room with Cen Xi in his arms and the both of them looking so intimate. “Young Master Qiao, who let you in without permission?”

Qiao Yanze put Cen Xi back to the bed and looked at Bai Lin who looked like he wanted to pick a fight with him. “What, you’re allowed to carry her away from my room, but I’m not allowed to see if she’s dead or alive?”

“When you made her kneel, were you concerned if she was dead or alive?” Bai Lin was usually a calm person, but now, his tone was harsh.

Qiao Yanze smirked. “Who is Leader Bai to her? Do I have to report to you about me and her?”

“I regard her as my own sister.”

“I don’t see that you regard her as your own sister. But it’s true that you have feelings for her.”

Bai Lin’s expression changed. Throwing down the first-aid kid, he stalked towards Qiao Yanze. Qiao Yanze did not move and was not fearful at all, facing the aggressive Bai Lin.

There was a tension between the two of them. The surrounding air seemed to be so thick one could cut it with a knife.

Just when Bai Lin was about to hit Qiao Yanze, there was a sound of a gla.s.s falling on the ground.

Cen Xi had woken up. Supporting her aching body as she came down from the bed, her hand accidentally swept the cup on the bedside table.

“Don’t fight because of me, I’ll leave.”

Looking at the weak Cen Xi, Bai Lin went to her, a frown on his face as he held her. “Go back to the bed and lie down.”

“Brother Bai Lin, I don’t want to give you any trouble.”

Bai Lin looked at her, his heart aching. “What trouble? Am I still a human being if I saw you like this and ignored you?”

“Thank you, Brother Bai Lin. I’m okay. I’ll treat you to a meal after I recover.”

Bai Lin looked at the young and sensible Cen Xi, a lump in his throat. “Do you still remember what I like to eat?”

“Of course.” Seeming to have thought of how they had grown up together in the same yard, a smile appeared on Cen Xi’s lips. “Brother Bai Lin likes dumplings and garlic. Once, you blew a breath at your sister after eating garlic and she cried because of the smell.”

Bai Lin touched the back of his head, a faint blush on his handsome face. “You should forget such embarra.s.sing things!”

“Hmm, okay.”

Qiao Yanze looked at the man and woman who were treating him like air and he pursed his lips into a straight line.

He left the room icily.

After some distance, he made a call.

Bai Lin helped Cen Xi to the bed. She was having a high fever and her body was still weak, so she fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.

After Bai Lin took out medicine from the first-aid kit, he was about to bandage her forehead when the phone rang.
