chapter 57

The twilight was getting dimmer, night as cold as water.

Qin Shu sat on a bench by the lakeside casually and leisurely, looking at those patients who were strolling all around. Occasionally, a laugh or two would come to her ears. She felt this was much better than sleeping and resting boringly in the ward.

She took advantage of when Ling Mohan was in the army to come out and have some fresh air quietly.

She didn’t know what was wrong with that bastard. He had forced her to train earlier, now he forced her to rest, which was simply more tyrannical than before!

Qin Shu was always accustomed to freedom. She did not like to be constrained by others like this. It made her feel like she didn’t have any sense of propriety and was very ignorant.

The more Ling Mohan tried to order her, the more she didn’t want to listen to him, and the more she wanted to do the opposite!

Why did she have to listen to this bastard in every matter? She wasn’t his slave. Even slaves would stand up and resist when they were oppressed.

“Miss Qin, let’s go back. Colonel will be coming later,” the guard reminded her.

The guard had risked his life to agree to take Qin Shu out. If it was found out, the colonel would probably peel off a layer of his skin!

However, things might go well if the guard didn’t mention Ling Mohan. Now that he mentioned the name and Qin Shu heard it, Qin Shu was immediately unhappy and unwilling to go back.

“I want to stay a little longer.” Qin Shu bathed herself in the cool night breeze and was unwilling to move.

The phone in her pocket vibrated. It was the notification sound of a WeChat message coming in.

She took the phone out and checked the message. She couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows because it was surprisingly a message from Qi Mingran. Qin Shu would like to figure out what that shameless man still wanted to do.

On WeChat, Qi Mingran asked, “Why can’t I get through to you?”

In this situation, ordinary people would definitely find an excuse to answer him, saying like there was no signal, the phone was out of service, etc., for fear of hurting his feelings. But Qin Shu wouldn’t care about that much.

She answered cheerfully, “I’ve put your number into the blacklist”.

Qi Mingran choked. He probably didn’t know how to answer. It showed on Qin Shu’s screen that the other party was typing, but she didn’t get any message sent over for a long time.

After the other party typed repeatedly a few times, Qin Shu saw a question he sent over, he asked, “Where did you buy the knickknack for me?”

Qin Shu, “I forgot.”

Qi Mingran, “Aren’t you curious why I ask you about that?”

Qin Shu, “I’m not curious about you on anything.”

After this sentence was sent out, it showed on the screen that the other party was typing again. Then the prompts disappeared and showed alternatively over and over again.

Qin Shu was overjoyed. She could even imagine Qi Mingran choked on her words so much that he pondered repeatedly how to answer.

A noble young mister from a wealthy family like him, with good family background, outstanding appearance, and strong working ability, never lacked the admiration from women. Probably he had never met someone like her who didn’t show due respect for his feelings.

Qin Shu didn’t understand why Qi Mingran suddenly sent a WeChat message asking about the knickknack. Could it be that he wanted to buy that thing for Tang Anru? But back then, Qi Mingran hated glass ball knickknacks and said they were too cheap. Now, he wanted to buy glass ball knickknacks for his girlfriend as a present, he even asked his ex-girlfriend who once gave him a glass ball as a gift about it. Wasn’t that too weird?

Qin Shu was amused by her own thinking.

Not long after, Qi Mingran sent a long message: Qin Shu, can you not be like this? We are adults, we should solve problems in a more mature way, instead of being so childish and seeking a moment of pleasure by spitting out harsh words. Are you really happy in your heart to hurt others with words like this? Although we have personality clashes and can’t be together, I still treat you as a friend. If there’s anything you need my help with, I’ll do my best to help you.

Qin Shu chuckled when she read the last sentence.

She didn’t forget that when she was insulted by those women before the car accident, Qi Mingran didn’t say a word for her!

Friend? Just stop insulting this word!

The more Qin Shu thought about it, the funnier she felt it was. She stared at the screen of her mobile phone and kept laughing.

Suddenly, she felt something warm covering on her. It was a military uniform coat.

“Colonel!” the guard immediately saluted someone and shouted with an uneasy expression.

Qin Shu was startled a lot. She suddenly raised her head and saw that Ling Mohan stood in front of her at an unknown time. He glared at her unhappily and said, “The wind is cold at night, how dare you come outside. Looks like I need to find a chain to lock you up!”

“I’m not a puppy,” Qin Shu protested unhappily.

Ling Mohan grabbed the tip of her nose and said, “You’re a wild kitten.”

“This wild kitten will scratch you to death.” Qin Shu assumed a posture to prepare to scratch him.

Ling Mohan quickly reached out to grab her claws and held them firmly in his palm. Her weak and tender hands made him reluctant to let go of them and casually rub them.

“Be obedient. Stop running wild!” he said in a deep voice.

This little woman’s body was weak, if she caught a cold, it would be troublesome.

Ling Mohan picked Qin Shu up horizontally and walked forward with steady steps.

Qin Shu was puzzled. “What are you doing?”

Ling Mohan said domineeringly, “Taking you back to the ward.”

Qin Shu rolled her eyes and said, “Sir Colonel, are you stupid? I have a wheelchair!”

“I’m happy to do this.” Ling Mohan’s expression didn’t change and he continued walking.

In fact, he was like an estrous beast now. He wanted to kiss and hug Qin Shu whenever he saw her!

Ling Mohan glanced at the guard beside him and felt this third wheel was very obstructive. He gave an order to the guard unhappily, “Push the wheelchair and go run five thousand meters!”

The guard, “… Yes, Colonel!”

When the guard didn’t obey the colonel’s order and let Miss Qin come out to have fresh air, he knew he would suffer!

Ling Mohan was robust and strong. He carried Qin Shu all the way from the lakeside to the hospital building. His breathing was calm and steady, and he attracted quite a few people’s attention along the way.

Qin Shu nestled in his arms. Through the thin cloth, she could feel the terrifying strength hidden within the man’s strong arms, but it made her feel very safe.

For the past three years, she was accustomed to being independent.

However, at this moment, for no apparent reason, she wanted to rely on him for a while.

Qin Shu leaned her head quietly and gently against Ling Mohan’s chest. She could hear the thumping of his heart in her ears. His unique manly breath stuffed between the wings of her nose.

Her cheeks heated up inexplicably.

She was a little greedy for this warm feeling.

Ling Mohan carried her and went in the elevator. There were only the two of them inside. For a moment, they seemed to be entangled in each other’s breathing.

The alarm rang loudly in Qin Shu’s heart. She quietly retracted her head, trying to isolate this kind of unrealistic greed, so as to avoid indulging in it.

“Don’t move. Lean on me.” Ling Mohan suddenly opened his mouth and expressed his displeasure at Qin Shu’s alienation.

His warm and wide palm supported Qin Shu’s back and pressed her forward. This made Qin Shu lean even more tightly to him.

It turned out that he had noticed her movement…

On the surface, Qin Shu maintained calm and didn’t seem to be affected, but in reality, she felt very embarrassed.

Mm, humph, since he said that, I’ll just lean on him.

Qin Shu once again leaned her head against Ling Mohan’s chest, and her heart slowly calmed down.

Ling Mohan lowered his eyes slightly. As soon as he lowered his head, he saw the wild kitten who always liked to make threatening gestures with her claws in ordinary times was now obediently leaning in his arms. Her face was as tender as peach blossoms, and her skin seemed so delicate that could be broken in a blowing. The pink lips that he had kissed many times shone with an alluring and moist luster.

She was so incredibly beautiful!

In an instant, Ling Mohan’s eyes deepened.

If it weren’t for his concern for Qin Shu’s weak body, he really wanted to have her right now!

Ting.

The elevator door opened. They arrived at the floor where Qin Shu’s ward was on.

Thudding！

Suddenly, Ling Mohan quickened his footsteps. With a straight face, he strode to the ward and placed Qin Shu on the bed, then he said coldly, “Sleep!”

With that, he walked towards the bathroom with a sullen face.

Qin Shu stared at his back with a puzzled expression.

What’s wrong with this bastard? He was fine earlier, but now he showed her a long face again. Why did he have to treat her like that?

He was such a bossy person!

She was reluctant to tolerate him!

Qin Shu didn’t know that Ling Mohan was ashamed into anger because of his unfulfilled desire.

In the bathroom, the man leaned against the ice-cold wall under the light. Cold water poured down from his head and washed his beautiful and sturdy body which was full of strength, trying to reduce the boiling evil desire in his body.

The more the cold water poured on him, the more the desire flourished!

He must’ve been possessed!

Ling Mohan thought like this angrily. Qin Shu’s flamboyant face flashed in his mind, and her red lips slightly opened, as if she were inviting him to kiss her…

After a long while, Ling Mohan came out of the bathroom after finishing a shower.

When Qin Shu saw him, she purposely snorted and slowly turned her back to him to continue playing with her mobile phone.

Actually, her attention was not on the screen of her phone, but she was quietly listening to Ling Mohan’s movements.

“Give me your phone.” Ling Mohan walked over and habitually spoke in that commanding tone.

He held a high position in the military all the time. This made him used to giving and receiving orders, so he didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with his tone.

Normally, Qin Shu wouldn’t bother arguing with him about this.

But Qin Shu was not quite happy earlier, and she was even unhappier with his manner of speaking now.

Obviously, he was holding her in his arms kindly a moment ago, in the next second, he pulled a long face and ordered her to sleep. What was this bastard taking her as?

The difference between he treated her earlier and later was so huge that Qin Shu felt uncomfortable in her heart. Some certain seedling that had just sprouted in her heart withered.

Forget it, why did she expect Ling Mohan to show her a kind face? She was not his lady of ice.

Qin Shu ignored Ling Mohan and continued holding and playing with her mobile phone.

Ling Mohan frowned. He pulled her phone away at one go.

“Give it back!” Qin Shu glared at him.

“No playing with the phone.” Ling Mohan put the phone in his own pocket.

Qin Shu gritted her teeth and said, “I’m chatting with someone. It’s very rude not to reply.”

Chatting?

Ling Mohan recalled that he saw Qin Shu staring at her phone by the lakeside and laughing ceaselessly. She looked very happy. At that time, was she also chatting with someone?

“Who are you chatting with? A man or a woman? What’s the relationship between you?” Ling Mohan asked intensely like he was questioning a criminal.

Qin Shu snorted coldly. “I won’t tell you,”

Ling Mohan said unhappily, “I’m your man. I have the right to know if you’re seducing other men on the Internet.”

Seducing!

Actually, Qin Shu did not like this word. In her opinion, it was an insulting derogatory term.

She didn’t expect that Ling Mohan would think the same of her as Qi Mingran and Yang Bin.

She even started to suspect that how disgusting she was so that a lot of people guessed her maliciously like that.

Qin Shu’s expression turned cold. She raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled softly. “Colonel, Grandpa Ling is not here. Why are you still acting? Whether I’m chatting with a man or a woman, it doesn’t have anything to do with you. Give me back my phone. I know my own body. You don’t need to control me like treating a robot.”

Ling Mohan’s face fell gloomy immediately!

This little woman would stir things up as soon as she had just recovered a little. Couldn’t she rest properly and nourish her body?

The thought of Qin Shu chatting with men heatedly on the Internet made him immediately infuriated.

Ling Mohan took out Qin Shu’s phone from his pocket and clicked on the screen to check. He saw that the WeChat chat interface hadn’t been closed yet, and he could see a series of contacts who had chatted with Qin Shu.

Seeing Ling Mohan staring at her phone, Qin Shu instantly felt all of her privacy was exposed.

“Give me back my phone!” She was so angry that she got up to snatch her phone.

Ling Mohan’s eyes were ice-cold and he grabbed the phone and questioned, “Idiot Ex-boyfriend? Who is this person? Other than Ji Chen, you had other boyfriends? Did you betray him?”

In an instant, the ward fell into silence.
