“Come in,” Leng Yihuang used his old indifferent tone again.
Cheng Jie walked in with a medicine kit. Cheng Min followed him in and when she saw the bandages on Leng Yihuang’s body, her face turned pale, “Young Master, why are your bandages wet?”
She turned her head sideways and saw Lin Xiaomi standing helplessly at the end of the bed. With just one look at what they two were wearing, she knew exactly what happened just now.
Young Master took a bath with her?
Cheng Min found that hard to believe and the next moment she was overtaken by jealousy.
She couldn’t help blaming Lin Xiaomi, “Madam, didn’t I tell you that Young Master’s wounds shouldn’t get wet, otherwise it would be infected. Look what you have done!”
Lin Xiaomi felt even more terrified, especially when she saw those horrific wounds as Cheng Jie slowly removed the bandages.
“Cheng Min.” Leng Yihuang raised his eyelids slightly, his voice seething with anger.
Cheng Min met his gaze and gritted her teeth. She lowered her eyelids and said unwillingly to Lin Xiaomi, “I’m sorry, Madam. I got a bit carried away, but that was because I was worried about Young Master.”
Looking at her indifferently, Lin Xiaomi didn’t respond and let her gaze fall upon Young Master Leng.
She was bewildered that Young Master Leng seemed to be defending her.
Cheng Min wasn’t of lower status in this house but he kept speaking up for her. Could she take it this way: her status was just below him and no one else?
Cheng Min apologized against her will, but she got no reply. Lin Xiaomi just ignored her and it was something that had never happened in this house.
Even when they were in Mr. President’s mansion, no one dared to treat her like this due to the fact that she and Young Master Leng kinda grew up together.
Cheng Min cast an eye over her unfriendly, turned around and walked over to Leng Yihuang. She took the gauze and started to help Cheng Jie wrap Young Master’s wounds.
With only a bath towel tied around his waist, Leng Yihuang’s strong chest and stout legs were uncovered and on his lower legs were untamable fine hair.
Cheng Min looked in awe at the man in front of her and the only thing she could smell was the body shampoo designed exclusively for him.
Lin Xiaomi didn’t know why but she hated Cheng Min for looking at Young Master Leng like that.
She couldn’t explain why. Perhaps it was because they were married now. When a woman she hated looked at her husband admiringly, she felt like what belonged to her was coveted.
And that was not at all a good feeling.
Lin Xiaomi craned her neck to see the cuts on Young Master Leng’s body. The open wounds looked pale from being exposed to hot steam for a long time. She couldn’t help frowning. Those cuts looked like they were left by knives.
It was the first time that Lin Xiaomi saw such horrific injuries with her own eyes. She gasped slightly and got more confused. How did he end up being like this?
Meanwhile she suddenly thought of Lin Hai who fought with those bodyguards barehanded. Were he also injured so seriously? How painful that would be!
As she thought of Lin Hai, her gaze grew soft. And she felt sympathy for Young Master Leng.
Leng Yihuang raised his head and saw Lin Xiaomi frowning and worrying. Then he saw Cheng Min who was standing in front of him and he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
“Cheng Jie can do it. You should leave us.” Leng Yihuang said to Cheng Min.
Cheng Min smiled gently, “Cheng Jie might be good at doing this, but he is after all a man. Men aren’t careful as women. He might hurt you. Let me stay and help him.”
“It’s inappropriate. Xiaomi can help. You should leave.” Leng Yihuang didn’t anticipate any further refusal.
Cheng Min’s grin became stiff. She understood what Leng Yihuang meant.
They were different genders. His upper body was naked and it was not proper for her to stay here.
But that was never a problem before. Whenever he was injured, she would be there helping Cheng Jie dressing his wounds.
It was all because of her! Cheng Min glanced at Lin Xiaomi with hatred. Just because Lin Xiaomi was here, she wouldn’t be allowed to bandage him.
Though she was unwilling, she couldn’t defy Young Master’s orders, so she turned around and walked outside.
Leng Yihuang waved his hand at Lin Xiaomi, “Come here. Wrap my wounds.”
Looking at those horrible-looking cuts, Lin Xiaomi couldn’t help swallowing her saliva and she waved her hand in fear, “No, no, I can’t. I’ll hurt you. You should let someone else do it.”
Leng Yihuang looked at her calmly, “What do you mean by someone else? Mrs. Leng, how generous you are! You’re willing to let another woman see your husband naked?”
Lin Xiaomi lost her tongue. Of course she wasn’t willing to do that!
But she thought that Cheng Min must have seen him naked countless times given how comfortable she was with this kind of situation. It wouldn’t hurt to let her do it again.
One second later, Lin Xiaomi pushed that thought away from her mind. She wouldn’t allow that to happen again!
Because she hated Cheng Min. Cheng Min’s existence reminded her of Lin Xin’er and all those who tried to steal her man away.
Lin Xiaomi walked over obediently and took the gauze that Cheng Jie handed to her.
Cheng Jie saw that she was a bit nervous, so he said, “Madam, don’t be nervous. Young Master handles pain pretty well. All you need to do is press the gauze and leave the rest to me.”
Leng Yihuang raised his eyebrows slightly and watched Lin Xiaomi’s trembling hands. He meant to tease her by pretending to be painful, but since Cheng Jie said he could handle pain, he found himself unable to fake it.
Cheng Jie packed the medicine kit and said respectfully, “Madam, Young Master’s wounds can’t get wet again, or they’ll be infected.”
Lin Xiaomi nodded instantly, “I got it.”
When Lin Xiaomi came out of the bathroom after washing her hands, she saw that Leng Yihuang had thrown away his bath towel and was lying on the bed.
This moment had finally come.
She didn’t mean to run away from this, but honestly she was a bit afraid.
So she said with her last bit of hope, “Hubby, good night. I, I’ll go back to my room.”
As she was fleeing out, she heard him saying casually, “Stop.”
Lin Xiaomi turned around stiffly and saw Young Master Leng curve his fingers at her, “Your hubby is quite healthy and doesn’t plan to sleep in separate rooms with his wife.”
Then he added in a casual way, “It’s our wedding night. If you don’t sleep with me, I’m afraid that the news that you’re disgraced will be spread all over this villa.”
Lin Xiaomi didn’t like it that he used the word “disgraced”. Did he really see himself as an Emperor?
Even so, she was persuaded. She turned around, walked to the bed, pulled back the quilt and got on bed.
She understood that in this villa, whether she was of high status or not was entirely up to him.
If she was “disgraced”, Cheng Min would surely make her life miserable and no one would stand up for her.
Lin Xiaomi lay on the bed with her body stiff, her eyes closed and both of her hands clenching the bedsheet, just like a martyr who was about to die for a noble cause.
“Come in,” Leng Yihuang used his old indifferent tone again.
Cheng Jie walked in with a medicine kit. Cheng Min followed him in and when she saw the bandages on Leng Yihuang’s body, her face turned pale, “Young Master, why are your bandages wet?”
