Chapter 72 - You Are Injured,
Once Ming Yue agreed to move to the guest room on the first floor, Wan Yi Jun himself picked up her suitcase and climbed the stairs, burdening the girl with his generosity.
Watching his actions, she really felt like cursing the moment when she decided to postpone avenging her biggest enemy before anything.
She could have targetted Wan Yi Jun the very first moment she landed on Imperial. However, her foolish mind convinced her to keep her best target for the last. She wanted him to torture before she ruins him,
But what the hell is happening right now? Instead of making him regret his actions and pay for whatever he did in the past, she is one who got into a pickle of a situation.
Why can't this man stop acting like he owes some huge favour towards her and stops treating her nice?
"Don't fall for his tricks, don't fall for his tricks," Ming Yue chanted in her mind as she followed Wan Yi Jun to the guest room that was right opposite his bedroom.
Years ago, when they all lived together in Wisteria gardens, Wan Yi Jun never allowed anyone to stay anywhere close to his room. Even when there were some guests, they were always given other rooms in the other end of the corridor so that no one shall disturb the hot-tempered young master of Wan family.
Wan Yi Jun opened the door and stepped inside the guest room which was designed
"Keep your phone next to you. If you hear something unusual, call me right away." Wan Yi Jun reminded her before leaving the room. Since he had finally found peace of mind after seeing Ming Yue curiously checking out the room, it was better to leave, and let her take rest.
"Yes, master." Ming Yue nodded in agreement and walked towards the door,
"Please sleep well, master."
"You too,"
Once Wan Yi Jun went inside his room, Ming Yue locked the door and took a deep breath to calm her agitated mind.
"Don't think too much, just focus on your goal." She reminded herself and walked in the direction of the bathroom.
Maybe a warm shower and a sleeping pill might help her to get over the awkwardness of spending the night in Wisteria gardens after a long time.
After removing her t-shirt, she moved closer to the cabinet in the bathroom.
Thankfully, there are no visible injuries on her body. She quickly washed her hands and took out the black eye lenses.
While standing in front of the cabinet mirror, Ming Yue stared at the face that reflected in the mirror.
The pitch-black hair that cascaded over her shoulders, like a waterfall, created a stark contrast on her bare skin.
It took her quite a few tries to turn her silver hair into a dark shade as it looks right now.
The pair of her odd eyes and her silver hair, the moment Wan Yi Jun sees any of it, it's over for her.
He will recognize her.
Before that unfortunate thing happens, she should finish her mission and return home.
Keeping her lens in its box, Ming Yue moved towards the shower cubicle.
Only when the warm water touched her bare skin, imparting a stinging pain from her back, did she understand that she got scratched by the glass pellets on somewhere that she can't see.
"Aishhhh." She cursed at her bad luck and gritted her teeth to endure the pain until she finished her bath.
After drying her body, she came back to the bathroom cabinet and picked up the first aid box from the drawers.
Normally she won't even care about these trivial wounds, but now things are different, and she was in a difficult situation where she had to make sure that her wounds won't get infected at any cost.
Ming Yue picked up the antiseptic ointment from the first aid kit and tried to apply it to the wounds on her back while looking at the mirror.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried she wasn't able to apply the ointment at the right spot of the wound.
She winced her eyes in anger and pain and decided to leave the idea of applying medicine to the wounds on her back.
Ming Yue let out a sigh and lowered her gaze at her wounded palm.
"Yep, that's it." Instead of worrying about the trivial scratches on her back. She must take care of the deep laceration on her palm.
After disinfecting the wound, she somehow put the bandage with her hand and came out of the bathroom.
"Just sleep, don't think about anything else." She chanted like prayer and picked up a loose t-shirt and pyjama from her bag.
After changing into a fresh pair of clothes, she took out the medicine box and looked for a sleeping pill.
However, no matter how many times, she searched in the medicine box, she couldn't find the sleeping pills.
"Kousuke!!!!" She almost let out a cry of anger when she figured out that someone had taken her sleeping pills from the medicine box.
Since she wasn't able to fall asleep, she started to take sleeping pills two weeks ago, without letting anyone know.
However, when Kousuke found out about it a few days ago, he did throw a tantrum, worrying about her health.
Since she had no other option left, Ming Yue walked towards the huge king size bed in the room,
"Thud!!!"
Just as she moved closer to the bed, Ming Yue heard something hitting hard on the glass door.
She turned towards the direction where the sound came and found a rickety balcony door.
"Didn't I lock the door?" Ming Yue doubted for a moment and slowly walked towards the balcony door.
"Ming Yue... what happened?"
"The tree branch did it hurt you?"
"No, not at all, it hit the window."
"Window?"
"Go inside, quickly."
"Aiishhhh."
"Ming Yue open the door."
"Give me a minute, master."
"Please turn, "
"Huh?"
"You are bleeding."
"I'm not."
Master, what are you doing?"
"You are hurt."
"Your t-shirt got bloodstains, let's go to the hospital."
"It isn't anything serious."
"How can you even say like that."
"It's just a scratch."
"Show me then."
"Master, how can I?"
"Then let's go to the hospital."
"I can't go to the hospital."
"Why?"
"It's just a scratch. I just need to put some antibiotics into it."
How are you going to apply antibiotic?
I'm flexible, I can reach. Ahhh..."
"Are you crazy?"
"Either let's go to a hospital or let me bandage it for you."
"Master, why are you putting me in this terrible situation. Didn't I say that it's okay?"
"Didn't I also say that I will take care of your full responsibility."
"But this is my body, my responsibility."
"Are you worried that I might misbehave with you since it's just two of us?"
"Miss Ming, I am sorry that If I give off a pervert vibe, but you should trust me."
"
"You don't have to worry about my injury. It is not that bad and look, I still got one fine hand." She showed her other arm and reassured him.
"How about we get some beef and make barbecue? I'm good at grilling and we don't have that much work to do it." Wan Yi Jun volunteered to help her.
"Barbecue for lunch?" Ming Yue's eyes narrowed at his odd suggestion.
"Grilled beef is an excellent option, master. But Still, we need to make other dishes for the rest of the course." She paused for a moment to think about an easy menu.
"We can keep grilled beef as the main course and as for others, how about fried scallops, pasta and steamed custard buns?"
"Fried scallops? Good lord, I just hope Han Ze Min doesn't show up?"
"Who?"
Didn't I also say that I will take care of your full responsibility."
"But this is my body, my responsibility."
"Are you worried that I might misbehave with you since it's just two of us?"
"Miss Ming, I am sorry that If I give off a pervert vibe, but you should trust me."
"
"He is my colleague who happens to be my cousin and got shellfish allergy."
"Oh then I will make some starters with chicken or something else."
"No need. He won't be attending anyways."
"Just keep it short, miss Ming. I don't want to burden you."
"This is not a burden for me, master."
"Will you please not call me master in public?"
"Okay, Mr Wan."
"Wow, that's even worse...call me by my name."
"You are older than me, master. But calling you gege would be even weirder."
"What did you say? Gege."
"Wan Yi Jun, should we get the big packet of rice or the small one?"
"Let's take the big one."
"What are you doing, Yue. Your hand is injured, let me do it."
"Look at that couple, that young man doesn't even let his wife carry the shopping cart and look at you,"
"They are in their honeymoon period, that's why they are acting like that."
"This is why we shouldn't drop honorifics when we are outside."
"Miss Ming, how about we have dinner somewhere and go home?"
"Didn't you say that you never eat dinner?"
"I haven't eaten anything, and I barely have the energy to drive."
"Then, let's go and eat."
"Wait here, I will go and get the car."
"Miss, your husband seems really nice..."
"No, ma'am, we are not married."
"Why are you waiting then, men like him won't find you anywhere. It is better to tie the knot."
"That old woman, what's she even saying? My Nechan is an engaged woman."
"Why are you blaming her, look at Nechan, she could've denied it. But-"
"This is not going to end well."
"Hmm, if you say so. Give it to me." Wan Yi Jun reached out to hold her suitcase as if it was a normal thing to do. However, Ming Yue, who wasn't familiar with those gentlemanly gestures refused to let go of her luggage.
After all, she had given a word that she would call them every day.
"Hmm...I'm safely returned home.. He was tired, so he went to bed early. Did you eat something?
