Chapter 40 - Apply Ointment

Qin Zhenyang planned to take his wife to the hospital at first, but looking at her nodding off in the passenger seat, he quit the idea decisively and called a private doctor then.

When they returned home, it was almost half past nine p.m., and Auntie Wang was usually asleep by this time. While she was immersed in TV series about the conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law this night, she didn’t go to sleep at the usual time. When Qin Zhenyang came back with his wife in his arms, he made quite a noise, so Auntie Wang came out of her room then.

“Young Master, what happened?” Ji Xiaoli was awake when she was ready to get out of the car just now, while Qin Zhenyang just opened the door and stretched out his hands to carry her before she got off by herself.

Ji Xiaoli didn’t stop him because she thought Auntie Wang had fallen asleep, while she felt so embarrassed when she saw Auntie Wang standing at the door of her room and looking over.

“Put me down. My legs are not injured!”

Qin Zhenyang loved and cherished his wife so much that he couldn’t bear any harm to her. He did all he could to protect her, while someone hurt her with desperate daring!

So at the moment when he saw her wounds, he just wanted to hold her firmly in his arms subconsciously. That was it.

After Ji Xiaoli was put down, she turned around and said to Auntie Wang, “Auntie Wang, I’m fine. Something happened today, but it has been solved.”

Auntie Wang was a witness to their relationship. Although the girl hadn’t lived here for a long time, she was the favorite of Young Master Qin, so Auntie Wang cared about Ji Xiaoli somewhat naturally. When she saw the whip scars on her body, she couldn’t help feeling a little bit distressed. She said with indignation, “Who did that? Bastard. How could someone hurt a woman like this!”

She wondered why this girl got injured under Young Master’s protection, but soon she realized that the person must have done that in Young Master’s absence.

Those who dared to hurt the people of Qin Family would bring about their own destruction!

Auntie Wang usually looked affable and mild, but she was quite courageous when she was young, since she used to be a soldier in the women’s army. Although it was a long time ago, she was of great fortitude still. In short, she valued her people so much.

Qin Zhenyang knew what she was thinking, so he said, “The Situs of Hongguang Real Estate did that. Those wicked bastards. I’ve handled them and told Wei about that already. Since they dared to hurt Xiaoli, I’ll make them pay!”

Auntie Wang nodded, “Yeah.”

She didn’t ask any more, while she knew Hongguang Real Estate then. She had a strong hunch that Hongguang Real Estate would not last long then as those who dared to hurt Young Master Qin’s wife would always have to pay a heavy price.

Ji Xiaoli was lying on the big bed, neither on her side nor on her stomach. There were wounds on both her front chest and back, so it was impossible not to touch them. When she saw the ointment in Qin Zhenyang’s hands, she felt her wounds hurt more.

“Must I apply it? It hurts….”

The wounds hurt so much when she was whipped before. If he applied the ointment on them, they would hurt again no matter how gently he did that.

Seeing the tears in her eyes, Qin Zhenyang’s heart ached so much. He wished that all the wounds were on his body and he could suffer the pain in her stead. While the wounds must be applied with ointment. No matter how painful she felt, she had to tolerate that.

“I’m just cleaning the wounds for you now. Tao Xiaoning will help you apply ointment after he gets here.” He said lightly, while Ji Xiaoli felt so desperate.

When Tao Xiaoning arrived, it was almost eleven. Ji Xiaoli was lying on her side while suffering from pain and dozed off. She always went to sleep at ten p.m., so she felt so drowsy at this time.

Tao Xiaoning was also Qin Zhenyang’s childhood friend just like Wei Lin, and Tao Xiaoning, like Wei Lin before, did not know that his third brother had already got married. So when he saw a woman lying in his bed, he was taken aback.

“Third brother, you’re living with a lady! You called me here in the middle of the night but didn’t tell me what happened in the phone. I was afraid you were seriously ill, so I rushed over from the west without a stop. But you look so well!” Tao Xiaoning felt like crying. He had just performed an operation and then he was called here when he just lay down on the bed. He felt like beating someone! But in the face of Qin Zhenyang, he did not have the guts.

Qin Zhenyang raised his eyebrows, “It seems that you hope I’m ill? Seeing me waiting for you here with a healthy body, you feel disappointed?”

Tao Xiaoning looked at the sullen face of Qin Zhenyang, smiling, “How dare I! You misunderstood! But who is she? Since I’m here now, tell me what has happened recently.”

“You really don’t know?”

“Not really.” Qin Zhenyang had never been close to women, so people almost thought he was gay. However, a woman was with him inexplicably at this time. How could he not be surprised.

Qin Zhenyang glanced at him as if he was an idiot, “What you see is just the reality. But if you want to know more about it, I can tell you.”

“This is your sister-in-law. You got it?”

Sister in law? Tao Xiaoning was taken aback again. He had almost the same feeling as Wei Lin before. To say he was shocked was an understatement. “I got it.”

He calmed down gradually, and Qin Zhenyang did not plan to continue chatting with him then. He called him here not just for chatting!

“Since you got it, why you’re still staring? See what kind of ointment your sister-in-law should apply and prescribe it quickly.” Such a dilatory boy. Qin Zhenyang kicked him on his buttocks then without him noticing.

Qin Zhenyang was so fierce. He reached out and rubbed his buns, saying, “Such a rude man. How could she fall in love with you?”

Qin Zhenyang sneered, “One more word, I’ll make you regret it!”

Tao Xiaoning, a delicate doctor, was not good at fighting at all. So whenever Qin Zhenyang turned hard on him, he had to yield to him.

“God. Mr. Qin, I’ve known that you are not an ordinary man. Compared to ordinary people, you are really not human!” Tao Xiaoning said with sarcasm. When he saw the whip marks on the body of the woman in bed, his eyes shone.

He had never known about SM before, but he saw it at this moment.

So his third brother, who had never been close to women, was interested in SM!

Qin Zhenyang didn’t realize what he was talking about at first, so he asked in a cold voice, “Don’t beat around the bush. Just say what you want to say!”

“Aren’t you the one who caused her injury? I know that older men like you haven’t had much experience with women, so I can understand you somewhat. But how could her delicate skin stand your whip? Even if you’re provoked, enough is enough. “Tao Xiaoning sighed in a timely manner, looking as melancholy as Lin Daiyu.

His third brother was such a strong man. So if he treated a woman rudely, she would suffer so much! Tao Xiaoning suddenly got the truth. No wonder his third brother had never had a relationship with women these years. Once some lady had a thing for him, she would come to a sticky end eventually since he had such a special fetish.

Qin Zhenyang would be a fool if he could not understand his words still. He narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists, “you wanna get beaten up? Who told you that I caused her injury! Smarty!”

“What? Not you?”

“Will you stop that?” Qin Zhenyang clenched his fists. Obviously, if Tao Xiaoning made any more nonsense, Qin Zhenyang would hit him with his fists to make him shut up. If he was not professional enough, Qin Zhenyang would definitely not call him over. The reason was simple. Tao Xiaoning was so imaginative, and he had a bigger mouth than women, so ordinary people couldn’t stand that.

Seeing his sullen face, Tao Xiaoning closed his mouth. He examined Ji Xiaoli’s wounds and then prescribed some medicine expertly. There were several magical ointments in his medicine box, which could be used first.

“Magical ointment?” Qin Zhenyang looked at the dark ointment, and then a strong smell of Chinese medical herbs assaulted his nose. He frowned.

“How magical it is? Can the wounds heal as soon as I apply it?”

“How is it possible! But there should be no problem in a week!” “How is it possible! The wounds can heal in a week!”

Qin Zhenyang sneered, “How can it be called magical ointment since so? The wounds will heal in a week with any ointment. I know you are showing off again!”

Tao Xiaoning was quite dissatisfied with his words, “Showing off? It is made of pure Chinese medical herbs and has no side effects. After applying it, wounds will heal since it can promote tissue regeneration and skin will become better! I won’t give it to anyone else!”

What he said was real. There were more or less hormones in the ointments sold on the market, so Tao Xiaoning’s ointment seemed to be really useful.

“Since it can work so well, leave all them for me.”

Tao Xiaoning made the ointments under ancient prescriptions, and because the herbs were not easy to get, he hadn’t made many. He had no more ointment except these in his medical kit, so he was not willing, while he knew he could do nothing if Qin Zhenyang acted shamelessly.

Since it was late, he rushed to the guest room to have a sleep. He had to work the next day.

Listening to their conversation, Ji Xiaoli laughed several times. The pain was eased when she didn’t think of it, “Your friend is funny, just like Young Master Wei.”

Qin Zhenyang applied the ointment for her carefully and paused when hearing what she said. Then he smiled, “he is just a simpleton. Wei is also a good person, but he is much shrewder than him, otherwise he wouldn’t have opened Yankeju Restaurant.”

Ji Xiaoli nodded and didn’t speak. She was drowsy, and when she was about to fall asleep, she heard the man’s voice from behind, “Does it hurt?”

“No. It’s cool and quite comfortable.”

“That’s fine.”

Seeing the dark ointment on her hand, Ji Xiaoli suddenly realized she didn’t know when it would dry. She said, “How about you sleeping in the study today? I’m afraid the ointment will stain you.”

If so, Qin Zhenyang had to sleep in the study room for at least a week. He did not have much time to stay at home, so how could he waste time sleeping in the study? He had to be with his wife.

So Qin Zhenyang took a tough stance, “The bed in the study is too hard, and I can’t fall asleep if I sleep alone. The ointment is purely made of medical herbs anyway, so it doesn’t matter even if it stains my clothes, and I can take showers in the morning.”
