Translator: Flying Lines
As Xia Xingcheng was thinking of that, unfortunately, the people who came in seemed to have noticed the strange movement here and came to the direction of where Xia Xingcheng was hiding.
Xia Xingcheng covered her mouth tightly, not making a sound. She was so nervous that she couldn't help but sweat.
As the person came closer, Xia Xingcheng figured out who she was. It was Xia Xingyan!
Xia Xingyan slowly approached the room Xia Xingcheng was hiding in. As she was about to open the door, someone called her from behind gently, "Xingyan, what are you doing?"
Hearing this, Xia Xingyan stepped back. Then some faint voice of dialogue reached Xia Xingcheng's ears.
"Xingyan, why are you here in the middle of the night?" Asked by Xia Xingcheng's stepmother.
"I thought I heard something here. Maybe I worried too much. Mom, why aren't you sleeping?"
"That old lady said something that made me angry!" Speaking of which, her stepmother's voice became angry, and then followed by a deliberately lowed voice: "Xingyan, that old lady is okay, right?"
"Don't worry, mom. She is fine now. She is not dead. She is still useful to us, I won't make things too difficult for her certainly."
"That's good. She is really useful. Do not make any mistakes again..."
As the voices of Xia Xingyan and her mother drifted away, Xia Xingcheng was able to put her heart back into her chest and relaxed a little. She also guessed that her grandma was not here at the moment. Now her grandma was fine temporarily. As long as she attends the so-called birthday party next week, she could certainly rescue her grandma.
After hiding in the room for a little longer, and making sure there was no one outside, Xia Xingcheng decided to leave quietly. It was obviously not in anyone's interest to act rashly now. She might as well go back and wait.
Without the lights, the house was in pitch dark. Though she had been prepared, Xia Xingcheng was still nervous as hell that a slight sound would trigger the security system.
Perhaps someone didn't clean the stairs properly, on her way downstairs, Xia Xingcheng slipped and fell down!
She fell straight downstairs due to inertia and gravity!
‘Ah!’
Xia Xingcheng was howling in pain inside. But she clenched her teeth and restrained herself from making a sound.
If someone were to hear the noise, she would have suffered no less than this!
Xia Xingcheng struggled to get up from the floor, and discovered she had a large skin scratched off from her leg.
The wound was oozing blood right now, causing a spasm on the skin around her leg wound. Enduring the piercing pain, Xia Xingcheng walked step by step towards the place where she hid her car.
The two bodyguards who had been watching in the dark saw Xia Xingcheng got injured, wanted to show themselves and take her home. But then they saw her stood up sturdily and walked to her car. There were moved and unbearable expressions on their faces.
Looking at each other, the two bodyguards immediately reported this incident to Sheng Yeting who was still in the neighboring city. At the same time, they were so impressed by Xia Xingcheng. She was really fierce like a heroine!
Xia Xingcheng drove straight back to Sheng Yeting's villa. The pain in her leg was getting better. She went straight to her room and took out a medical kit to bandage the wound right away.
In the first few years abroad, raising Bao alone, they were often bullied. At first she couldn't win a fight, injuries on her body were common. At that time, Bao was still little, she did not have enough money to go to the hospital. So as time went by she learned how to bandage.
At this time, Xia Xingcheng took apart a package of gauze deftly, dipped it into iodine and applied it onto her wounds as disinfectant. The wound was not deep but looked extremely horrible.
There was a physical reaction between the disinfectant and her wound, causing a sudden painful spasm. But Xia Xingcheng didn't even blink.
Sheng Yeting happened to walk in on it when he just arrived home.
Seeing the way she treated herself, Sheng Yeting frowned in displeasure.
"What happened to you to be hurt so badly?"
After asking, Sheng Yeting walked up to her and grabbed the tools she was using to treat her wound. He did not even notice the concerning expression showed on his face.
Sheng Yeting's sudden appearance surprised Xia Xingcheng slightly, and she asked questioningly, "Why are you here at home?"
Sheng Yeting took one look at her, and instead of answering her question, he directly reached out and pulled her leg near him.
"Lie down." Sheng Yeting ordered her.
"Eh... There's no need for that. A small injury, I can handle it myself."
Xia Xingcheng rushed to grab the gauze in Sheng Yeting's hands. She blushed slightly because of the extremely close range between them.
Sheng Yeting didn't notice the unusual reaction of Xia Xingcheng. Instead, he reached out his hands and pushed her against the couch. There was only a few centimeters between them.
Xia Xingcheng had never been so close to a man before. She could even smell the fragrance especially belonged to Sheng Yeting.
With her cheeks blushed, Xia Xingcheng stretched out her hand against Sheng Yeting's chest.
"You, just apply the medicine alright? What are you doing coming so close?"
Xia Xingcheng's voice was barely audible at the end of her sentence. It was too embarrassing.
Xia Xingcheng heard what appeared to be a chuckle from Sheng Yeting, and then a chill feeling came over from her leg. She closed her eyes immediately to hide the embarrassment in her eyes.
What the hell happened to her! Why did she blush? It was so embarrassing!
In the middle of her frustration, Xia Xingcheng closed her eyes intolerably. And the feeling on her leg became more obvious. She could even feel Sheng Yeting's slightly cold fingers brushing her bare skin clearly, causing her to shiver all over.
Never before had a man touched her sensitive lower leg like this. Xia Xingcheng felt so sore and itchy at the same time that she had to stop Sheng Yeting's hands from bandaging her. "Is it done? It hurts."
Xia Xingcheng rushed him in whisper, dare not to look him in the eye.
"It's almost done. Just bear with it." Sheng Yeting's voice was softer than usual. Looking at Xia Xingcheng's shy profile, he suddenly wanted to kiss her.
But he still retained his sanity and wrapped the last gauze around her leg. He said softly: "It's done."
