Chapter 357
Luo Yibei stood in the center of the living room, staring at her crookedly sleeping on the sofa, and walked towards her step by step.
She seemed sound asleep, her arms wrapped around herself and legs curled together. She must be disturbed in her sleep as her brows were wrinkled slightly.
She has always been dainty. But curled up such a posture, she appeared even frail and helpless, devoid of the stubborness she sported in front of him during the day.
Luo Yibei run his gaze slowly over her and bent down to carry her upstairs when the corner of his eyes caught a glimpse of her bare cold feet.
Her dainty toes were white and shiny as that of the finest jade carving.
But now, there were a few large and small abrasions on them from heel to toe. Against her white feet, they looked ugly.
Those wear and tear were from Fang Chixia’s shoes when she walked all the way back tonight. She wasn’t squeamish so she disregarded such tiny details and the pain.
Luo Yibei inspected her feet for a while, and frowned.
Just how long has he been gone that she accomplished worning herself this way?
Finding these thorns in his eyes, he went to find the first aid kit, squat down next to her and brought out some medicine to clean her feet off.
He gently cleaned the blisters and applied some ointment on. Feeling the coolness on her feet, Fang Chixia woke up instantly.
She froze in surprise to see him back the moment she opened her eyes, then her gaze shifted to her feet.
One of her foot rested on Luo Yibei’s knee, held by one of his hands as he squatted beside her, rubbing some ointment.
It never occurred to her that she would be awakened in his presence in the middle of the night, nor that he would take care of her wounds, so in a daze, she stared at him.
Wasn’t he on a date?
She instinctively tried to withdraw her foot, but Luo Yibei clutched it and refused to let go: “Don’t move!’
“I can do it myself.” Fang Chixia was a bit embarrassed and yanked her ankle again.
Luo Yibei frowned, then scowled at her, “It’s late at night, but you’re still in great spirits?”
He warned, but Fang Chixia ignored it and pushed his hand away: “It’s ugly, don’t look!”
Although she didn’t care about her injuries, she knew how miserable her feet were.
Luo Yibei was caught short at her comeback, staring blankly at her for a moment.
His eyes turned cold as he retorted sharply: “It’s not like I haven’t seen something uglier than this.”
Fang Chixia was hesitated for a moment.
When did that happen?
Luo Yibei was actually referring to her chaotic sleeping postures but didn’t bring it up. He treated her wounds a few times and tried to carry her to go upstairs, but Fang Chixia hurriedly pushed him away. “I can go up myself!”
She pushed forcefully as if trying to distance herself away from him.
Her resistance brought a wrinkle in Luo Yibei’s brows.
In fact, he himself wasn’t in the best mood today. When he came back, he managed to calm down a bit. Fang Chixia’s resistance just now undoubtedly ignited the fire and made his face dark in a flash.
Fang Chixia’s eyes strayed from him, and bypassed him upstairs.
Luo Yibei’s eyes moved along with her figure, his coldness dropping low by the second.
Chapter 358
Fang Chixia did not look back and went straight upstairs.
Returning to the room, she opened the quilt and lay into bed. Without waiting for him to return to the room, she hugged her pillow to continue sleeping.
As she was about to sleep drowsily, the door was pushed open and the other side of the bed sunk as Luo Yibei’s scent wafted near.
His warm breath closeby seemed to wrap Fang Chixia in around a warm breath, obviously due to his presence, but she never lifted an eyelid.
Luo Yibei simply refused to believe she was asleep.
How could she fall asleep at such a short time?
He stretched his long arms and brought her to his chest, letting her rest beside him.
Fang Chixia stiffened in an instant and elbowed him.
It may have appeared random, but she was pushing away in silence.
A scornful arc rose from the corner of Luo Yibei’s lips, disdaining of her movements.
A pale gaze glanced at her hand, before he grabbed hold of her wrist, and wrapped her hand on his waist.
His highhandedness annoyed Fang Chixia to no end.
After a tryst with his lover outside, he comes home to toss her again, his stamina is truly inexhaustible!
“Luo Yibei, I’ve had enough!” She twisted her wrist in his hand and hit him fiercely. She opened the distance between herself and him coldly.
Her annoyance was tinged with a bit of anger.
Luo Yibei was dumbfounded and looked at her blankly, having no idea of the source of her anger.
In the day, she acted unaffected, but now, she’s raving mad?
A woman’s heart is really complicated!
And a woman like Fang Chixia is even more complicated!
Luo Yibei was in a bit of a huff, but he still pulled his tie and headed into the bathroom for a half-hour cold shower.
The next day, Fang Chixia was anxious to know how Fang Mingcheng was so she rushed to the hospital for a visit.
Ye Yun heard that she was coming and assumed that the Fang’s family has been saved, so she was quite jubilant.
But the moment she knew that Fang Chixia came empty-handed, she blocked her sharply without budging an inch at the door of the ward without letting her even see a glimpse of Fang Mingcheng.
Fang Chixia had no choice but to walk out of the hospital helplessly while in deep thoughts for a solution.
She really can’t approach Luo Yibei. After she borrows the 300 million from him, it might result to a more convoluted relationship in four years.
Fang Chixia lingered outside the hospital, wandering around aimlessly, and eventually, a name flashed across her mind.
She hesitated for a moment before calling Fei Si Nuo and merely asked if she could meet him.
Fei Si Nuo has extensive power and Fang Chixia has witnessed it again this time.
A few minutes after the call, his man appeared suddenly in front of her.
The meeting place for the two was a coffee shop.
Sitting opposite him, Fang Chixia bowed her head low, struggled, and raised her face slowly.
“Your Highness, can you do me a favor?”
Her indecision was plain in her voice. After all, 300 million wasn’t a small amount, even for people with money.
Fei Si Nuo stared at her deeply, his eyes were so clear as if he could see through everything.
Before Fang Chixia could continue, he slowly said: “A problem at home?”
“You know?” Fang Chixia froze, her eyes narrowing slightly in fright.
“What don’t I know in City C?” Fei Si Nuo raised a brow.
