Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go

Chapter 979: Chapter 983: Was It That Difficult for You?

Xia Qingqian bit her lip, seeing her incompetence at just making coffee and getting herself hurt. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions, questioning her own uselessness.

”I’m sorry, I accidentally knocked over the coffee pot,” she apologized, pain apparent in her voice, as she turned to pick up the knocked-over coffee pot. ”I’ll remake it.”

”Miss Xia, let me do it.” Maria stepped forward, quickly taking the coffee pot before Xia Qingqian could, placing it on the table, and then grabbed Xia Qingqian’s hand, exclaiming in shock, ”Your hand is all red and blistered!”

Uncle Quan intended to order Ye Feng to bring the medicine chest and clean Xia Qingqian’s wound, but as he was about to speak, Ye Feng had already brought the chest, swiftly entering and skillfully opening it to clean her wounds one by one.

”Is it really that difficult for you to make a cup of coffee?” A chilling and harsh voice drew near, frightening Xia Qingqian so much she promptly withdrew her hand from Ye Feng’s.

She grimaced with pain, tremblingly calling out, ”...Young Master.”

”Young Master, please don’t scold her. She didn’t spill it on purpose.” Uncle Quan and Ye Feng spoke in unison, defending Xia Qingqian.

”This stupid woman! I can’t even understand why I agreed to buy you in the first place!” He stepped forward, grabbing Xia Qingqian’s hand before taking the tweezers from Ye Feng’s hand, dipping a small piece of cotton in iodine.

As Beitang Yao gently placed the iodine-soaked cotton on Xia Qingqian’s wound, her hand trembled slightly, wanting to pull her hand back.

”Don’t move!” Beitang Yao snapped at her, then continued clearing her wound, carefully breaking the blisters and applying medicine.

The whole time, Ye Feng, Uncle Quan, and Maria watched in astonishment, thinking they must be possessed tonight! No, it’s more like they’ve been possessed for the past couple of days!

Though the Young Master showed indifference towards Xia Qingqian outwardly, inside, he was deeply worried, far more anxious than anyone else. He buried his tenderness under those cold words; indeed, the Young Master always treats others with aloofness, rarely caring for them.

Watching him personally attend to Xia Qingqian’s burn wound, they don’t know what to say.

Even though the Young Master only acknowledges the transactional nature of his relationship with Xia Qingqian, how much does she weigh in his heart?

”Does it still hurt?” Looking at the treated wound, as he broke the blister, he felt her hand tremble slightly. He wasn’t much better off himself; his heart twisted painfully with each of her trembles.

This damn woman! Always so worrisome!

Xia Qingqian shook her head with tears, saying, ”It doesn’t hurt...” It truly doesn’t hurt anymore; the Young Master’s hands seemed like a magic potion, making her feel no pain while held tightly by them.

”Are you stupid? Still claiming it doesn’t hurt?” With such blisters, he can’t understand why she seems to love self-harm! Beitang Yao suppressed the anger rising within him, and lightly slapped her on the head!

Xia Qingqian was so frightened she shrank back, gently closing her eyes, waiting for Beitang Yao’s punishment.

But as he touched her head, he simply patted it lightly, symbolically, ”Do you think you’re indestructible, impervious to harm?”

In the tea room, only the two of them remained. Ye Feng and the others wisely retreated, observing the tea room through the glass door, watching this couple who resembled tragic lovers, and smiled knowingly.
