Chapter 66 - SHOW ME THE ARM HE TOUCHED (1/2)
”Han Jingyi!” Wen Minghua shouted to call Luo Jingyi's attention as she stood at the entrance waiting for Yun Jinghan to bring the car. Because Wen Minghua was in a hurry, he bumped into people and yelled at them for blocking his way.
”Could you help me? Put in good words with Dr. Bai. This funding is very important to me.” Wen Minghua begged, touching her hand which Luo Jingyi immediately swatted away. He swallowed his dissatisfaction and approached her because he saw that she was close to Dr. Bai. He thought he has the advantage of holding on to Han Jingyi's weakness: her love for him.
”Are you kidding me? This morning, you were ridiculing me. Now, you want me to help you. Why should I?”
Wen Minghua seemed impervious to her snide. He let out a grin and spoke boisterously, ”Forgive me for being rude this morning. It was a mistake. I hope you won't hold the grudge.”
Luo Jingyi sneered inside. As always, he initiated contact because he needed something. 'Don't use the same tactic you've used with the original.'
Paying no heed on him, Luo Jingyi got inside Yun Jinghan's car once it halted in front of her.
”What does he want?” There was a tad of annoyance hinted in his voice when he uttered the words
”Nothing.” Luo Jingyi simply answered, buckling her seatbelt.
When Yun Jinghan checked on the rearview mirror, the other man was still looking at the car. A cold smile flashed on Yun Jinghan's face.
”What do you want to eat for dinner?”
Luo Jingyi gave her watch a furtive glance. ”Isn't it too early for that? Let's go to the mall first.”
Yun Jinghan gestured 'okay' and stepped on the speed of the car. He concentrated on driving but peeped at her from time to time. She was looking at the streetscape and was enjoying the view.
Luo Jingyi rolled the windows down. She propped her hand on the window and rested her head on her palm, allowing gush of air to slap her face and blow her hair away. She couldn't help smiling.
”Wear your sunglasses to protect your eyes.” Yun Jinghan reminded her, seeing her action.
Taking out the sunglasses he gave yesterday, she put it on without complaints.
…
Thirty minutes later, they arrived at the shopping mall. When he parked the car, he ordered her to stay put. Albeit confused, she listened and watched him round the car. Yun Jinghan opened the door on her side, bent closer and unfastened her seatbelt.
Because she was surprised, she moved away. ”What are you doing?”
”Show me the arm he touched.”
Luo Jingyi gave him a surprised look. ”How did you know?”
Instead of explaining, Yun Jinghan lifted the sleeve of her blouse. His jaw clenched when he spotted the red mark that marred her ivory skin. He couldn't help cursing out loud. ”Let's go to the hospital.”
”Are you kidding me? This wouldn't even kill me.” She shot him a wide-eyed look and pressed her lips together to smother her laughter.
