C26 Drug Him
Soong Qingnuan didn't know how much time had passed before she opened her eyes in a daze.
Her forehead began to throb for no apparent reason, and she clutched her temples.
After five minutes, she barely regained her senses. She touched the silk quilt covering her body and smelled a strange smell.
This was not her home!
Soong Qingnuan immediately sat up from the bed and looked around in panic, but there was no one around.
In a strange room, she slept on a kingsize bed in the middle of the room. Crystal lights hung from the ceiling, and orange light shone on her quilt.
"Where am I?"
She tried her best to calm her emotions and carefully observed the surrounding design. It was simple and light, and there was a box of incense on the bedside table.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. A young servant came in with a basin of warm water. He looked surprised.
"Miss, you're finally awake."
The other's face was gentle, without the slightest bit of malice, allowing her to relax a little.
Soong Qingnuan, you're holding the blanket over your upper body, there's confusion in your eyes.
"This place is?"
"This is the Gu family. Eldest Young Master has been waiting for you to wake up for a long time."
The servant wiped the table with warm water and explained softly.
The Gu family … Could it be?
"Is it Gu Qianbei?"
Soong Qingnuan became even more confused. She clearly remembered that she was asked to go out by Su Chen and even went into the alley by the back door. Why would she be here?
The servant, who knew only the bits and pieces of the matter, nodded and explained it to her.
"Yeah, the young master brought you back yesterday with a slight injury on his arm."
After making sure of the situation, Soong Qingnuan watched her servant leave. When she lifted the blanket, she discovered that there was a bloodstain on her clothes.
This was Gu Qianbei's blood!
It was the first time that she had seen blood so bright red before her eyes, and she was worried about his condition.
Soong Qingnuan hurriedly got up from the bed and walked out of the room without even tidying her hair.
He had to admit that the structure of the Gu family's residence was much bigger than that of the Soong Family.
The dark brown wooden floor emitted a soothing fragrance. She walked along the corridor. There were rooms on both sides of the corridor. She secretly opened each room and checked if it was a study or a music room. She didn't see Gu Qianbei.
Could he have gone to work?
Soong Qingnuan turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window. It was already evening time, so she should be at home at this time of day.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of something being knocked over, coming from the room at the far end.
Gritting her teeth, she tiptoed towards the room.
Soong Qingnuan looked closer and saw that the door was still ajar. The owner of the room had his back to her and was sitting on a Nordic sofa with several jars of medicine and some gauze on the table.
Gu Qianbei's right hand was injured, and he wore a white short-sleeved shirt as he lowered his head to apply the medicine.
Soong Qingnuan couldn't see his injuries clearly, so she pushed the door open worriedly.
"Sorry, it's me."
The moment her voice came out, her figure froze. Gu Qianbei immediately restrained his painful expression and replied lightly: "You're finally awake. Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, but you're hurt." Soong Qingnuan quickly walked in front of him. "Let me help you."
However, the moment she got close, she was shocked by the wound in front of her.
He actually got a long cut from the knife. He could do this even if he had to apply the medicine at home instead of going to the hospital.
Her hand was frozen in the air, she didn't know what to do.
Gu Qianbei seemed to be comforting her, as he explained lightly.
"The family doctor said it could be handled at home."
"Yes."
She didn't know what to say, so she nodded slightly, secretly moved.
