Chapter 19

Gu Qingci took Fu Jing to the hospital.

Fu Jing was quite shocked. The cut on her hand did hurt quite a bit, but no matter how she thought about it, this kind of wound had not yet reached the point where it needed to be bandaged at a hospital.

But she did not dare protest.

For almost the entire taxi ride, she did not dare say a word.

Because Gu Qingci’s expression was truly too frightening.

When those pitch-black eyes stared straight over, they were sharp and deep, as if she wanted to eat Fu Jing alive. By instinct, Fu Jing obediently listened and had no temper at all. If Gu Qingci said they were going to the hospital, then they were going to the hospital.

After registering and lining up, it was soon her turn. The doctor simply treated her wound and, at Gu Qingci’s request, prescribed a box of imported scar-removal ointment worth several hundred yuan.

Gu Qingci picked up the medicine at the window, handed it to her, and said, “Remember to apply it properly every day. Do you hear me?”

Her tone was calm and flat, not gentle.

Fu Jing vaguely felt that she was angry, but she did not know why.

Smelling the strong scent of alcohol on her, she could somewhat guess that Gu Qingci had already been in a very bad mood.

So was accompanying her to the hospital troublesome?

So she was even angrier?

Fu Jing tried to guess the reason for her bad mood and, for no reason, thought of when she was little. Back then, she had fallen while running and scraped a small patch on her knee.

She had felt that it was nothing and had normally climbed back up.

But when the teacher saw it, she insisted on taking Fu Jing to the infirmary and asked, “Does it hurt?”

Little Fu Jing shook her head. “It doesn’t hurt.”

But the teacher let out a cold laugh from her nose and mocked lightly, “You’re deliberately saying that just to show how brave you are, aren’t you?”

Little Fu Jing had been stunned.

At that time, she did not know that her kindergarten teacher had just been scolded unauthorized copyby her mother and was full of anger, which she was taking out on Fu Jing.

She only knew that the knee that had not originally hurt became burning and stinging after the red medicine was applied.

It made her almost unable to hold back her tears.

Even after many years, she had never forgotten that sentence.

“…”

Fu Jing lowered her head, feeling very wronged.

The wound on her hand that had clotted still ached faintly. She sniffed, sighed, and suddenly said, “My hand really hurts.”

Her voice was low and soft.

Right after that came an even more aggrieved, quiet accusation. “Sister, why are you being so fierce?”

Hearing this, Gu Qingci froze. She pressed her lips slightly together and looked at Fu Jing with an almost complicated gaze. After a pause, she said, “Was I fierce to you?”

Her questioning tone was very gentle.

Fu Jing nodded aggrievedly. “Today was already so unlucky, and you still kept a stern face to scare me.”

She raised her hand, lightly tugged Gu Qingci’s sleeve, and muttered, “I’m unhappy now…”

“Then what should I do? How do you want me to coax you?”

When Gu Qingci asked this, her tone was warm, yet her face remained calm and unruffled. But the gaze she used to look at Fu Jing was so serious.

As if no matter what Fu Jing said, she would agree in the next second.

Fu Jing looked at her for a long while. After thinking about it, she lowered her eyes and said, “Can I ask you to hug me?”

After saying that, she did not hold out much hope.

She felt that since Gu Qingci was in such a bad mood today, she would definitely refuse. She was already thinking about what easier-to-accept request she could make instead.

“…”

Gu Qingci stepped forward and directly reached out to pull her into her arms.

She did not say anything more.

Fu Jing widened her eyes, then blinked again and again, completely not expecting Gu Qingci to actually agree. Fu Jing gently lifted her hands and wrapped them around Gu Qingci’s waist. The warm, soft, and shapely body in her arms felt both comforting and satisfying.

Her chin rested on Gu Qingci’s shoulder. She was so comfortable that she had to hold back a sigh. Her clear almond eyes curved into crescents, filled with cheers and delight.

What did a hand injury count for?

Tonight, she had made a bloody profit!

“…”

Very soon, Fu Jing furrowed her brows slightly and felt a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she should have said she wanted a kiss.

Perhaps… maybe it was not too late to say it now???

Fu Jing prepared herself for a few seconds, lifted her chin, and lightly brushed her face against Gu Qingci’s cheek. The soft, ticklish touch made Gu Qingci’s long lashes tremble.

Fu Jing’s hands around Gu Qingci’s waist did not loosen at all. Instead, she held her tighter and Read on BaiLianTalestighter, pressing her soft body entirely against Gu Qingci. With a faintly sweet fragrance, the words she spoke beside Gu Qingci’s ear were also delicate and tempting, like they hid little hooks.

“Sister, I also want you to kiss me.”

Gu Qingci did not respond after hearing this. For quite a while, she said nothing.

“Is that not okay?” Her voice carried a slightly aggrieved nasal tone.

“What do you think?”

Three light, cool words.

Fu Jing secretly pursed her lips and immediately knew when to stop. She buried her face back against Gu Qingci’s collarbone and rubbed against it lightly, saying in a soft, cowardly voice, “Sister, I was joking.”

“…”

Gu Qingci curved her lips and laughed silently.

And here she had thought Fu Jing had more backbone.

“Aiyo, am I interrupting?!” Tao Xian had just turned the corner when she saw two familiar people tightly embracing in the empty corridor. She raised her hand to [unauthorized copy]support her jaw, which had nearly dropped in shock. “I just threw the troublemakers to Huazi and had him send them to the police station to sober up. I ran red lights to rush over here, and this is what I see…”

Gu Qingci let go of Fu Jing, raised her hand, and pinched Fu Jing’s cheek again, cutting off Tao Xian’s words. “Enough. Her hand isn’t a big problem. Send her back.”

“Really nothing serious?” Tao Xian could not stop giving her meaningful looks. Her doubtful words carried a hint. “Will it leave a scar?”

Fu Jing hurriedly lifted the plastic bag and said, “It won’t. I’ll definitely apply the medicine properly!”

Otherwise, she would simply be unworthy of Gu Qingci specially bringing her to the hospital.

“Mm.” Gu Qingci reminded her again, “Don’t apply it casually a couple of times and then put it aside and forget.”

Fu Jing cleverly climbed up the pole and said with a grin, “Sister, if you’re worried, you can call me every day to urge me. Or you can live at my place?”

Gu Qingci thought for a few seconds. “I’ll send you messages to remind you.”

Fu Jing’s face almost bloomed with a smile, and she nodded repeatedly. “Okay. Then don’t forget!”

Tonight was simply a bloody profit!

The three of them walked out of the hospital.

Tao Xian deliberately walked a few steps behind. While Fu Jing was not paying attention, she quietly asked Gu Qingci, “So the child in your dream was her?!”

This strange coincidence tonight…

When she had personally seen Gu Qingci and Fu Jing hugging, she had been completely stunned.

“What dream?” Gu Qingci instinctively said, then froze. “Oh, I forgot.”

Then she said, “I don’t know, but it doesn’t matter anymore.”

The obscure heaviness that had troubled her for so long because of those dreams had, for some reason, suddenly vanished as if the clouds had parted and revealed the sun.

Was it because of that hug just now?

That warm, soft body had instantly calmed her anxious, gloomy emotions.

Gu Qingci raised her hand and pressed the corner of her eye, puzzled in her heart. How could she let dreams interfere with her emotions?

She walked out quickly.

Tao Xian had driven here.

“Oh.” Fu Jing recognized the car emblem from afar and gave Tao Xian a thumbs-up. “This car is so expensive. As expected of a big boss!”

Tao Xian gave a dry “hehe” laugh, glanced at Gu Qingci, and said nothing.

After sitting inside, Fu Jing fastened her seat belt and curiously asked, “Sister Anjiu, did you also buy our Princess Gu Qingci’s little BMW?”

Gu Qingci closed her eyes, having already given up correcting her.

“Hehe.” Tao Xian could only laugh again and vaguely said, “How did you guess that these two cars were bought by the same person? Their styles are obviously so different.”

Fu Jing had only guessed casually. Just as she was about to speak, the phone in her pocket vibrated.

She took it out and saw a bank card deposit text message.

[XX Bank] Your savings card ending in 7221 received an incoming transfer of RMB 5,000,000.00 at 22:21 on May 19. Balance: RMB 5,691,228.12.

Fu Jing furrowed her brows and carefully counted the zeroes, then ​read the original at bailiantales.com​realized that this money was because of the phone call from before. Her mother had thought she did not have enough money to spend and had told her to ask her father for money.

Fu Jing had not gone to ask her father.

It was probably that after her mother finished being busy, she remembered that phone call, asked Fu Jing’s father about it, and helped her get the money. Five million yuan was not exactly a small amount even for Fu Jing’s family.

This was money that had originally been prepared to buy her a car.

Now it had been converted into spending money.

Fu Jing thought about it and asked Gu Qingci, “Baby, do you want to change cars?”

“…”

The corner of Gu Qingci’s mouth twitched, and she could not help saying, “Don’t call me that.”

A few low, lowered words.

Fu Jing looked at her and tentatively changed the address. “Then… Babe?”

Gu Qingci closed her eyes and leaned back, looking [read the original at bailiantales.com]as if she no longer intended to acknowledge her at all.

“Sister.” Seeing this, Fu Jing pressed her lips together to hide her smile, cleared her throat, and said, “My family transferred a huge sum of money to me. Five million!”

“…”

Fu Jing went to catch Gu Qingci’s hand, placed it on her own lap, and played with it. “Plus, I already had a lot of savings, so now I’m already richer than many local bosses.”

Gu Qingci withdrew her hand and opened her eyes to look at her. “So?”

“So do you have any thoughts?”

Fu Jing fluttered her lashes and looked at her full of expectation.

Seeing her eyes sparkling, Gu Qingci found it funny. “What exactly are you trying to say?”

“I’ve already said everything I wanted to say. Why do you really have no reaction?” Fu Jing muttered in confusion. “The internet said that at the right opportunity, you should display your financial advantages and give your woman a sense of security.”

“…”

“Then you should agree to the request she naturally makes.”

“…”

“Which step did I get wrong? Why didn’t you make a request?”

Gu Qingci: “…”

Seeing her full face of seriousness, Gu Qingci did not know what to say for a moment.

Tao Xian, who was driving in front, laughed softly. After a pause, she returned to silence. While seriously pretending to be air, she worked hard to perk up her ears and keep listening.

Gu Qingci turned her eyes and studied Fu Jing.

It had to be said that a little girl like her, with both talent and beauty, a solid family background, and a heart full of sincere passion, would probably not fail no matter whom she took a fancy to.

Yet it just had to be her…

Gu Qingci laughed softly, her gaze moving slightly.

“But what if I don’t fall for this set?”

“Then I’ll think of another way.” Fu Jing was not too disappointed either. With a naturally serious expression, she said honestly, “Anyway, as long as my thinking doesn’t slide downhill, there are always more solutions than difficulties.”

As soon as the words fell, her hand unconsciously clenched into a fist.

She truly looked ready to struggle and fight.

Gu Qingci looked out the car window and was silent for a few seconds.

The corners of her lips lifted. She could not help raising her hand to press it against the top of Fu Jing’s head and ruffle her hair hard. Her tone mixed a sigh with a smile. “Fine. What you said makes sense.”
