C27 Initial Contact

Soong Qingnuan recalled the bandaging skills she had learned while she was in school. She threw herself onto it with all her heart, her fingers gripping the medical gauze and wrapping it around her arm again and again.

Her gaze followed the gauze to the firm lines of her muscles, and her cheeks unconsciously flushed.

This was the first time she was alone in a room with a man. The warm yellow light always gave off an ambiguous atmosphere.

Soong Qingnuan pursed her lips, trying her best to not attract his attention.

Suddenly, her fingers were unable to obey her orders. She pulled on the gauze a little more forcefully, and the wound was strangled.

Crap!

Soong Qingnuan knew she didn't hit him hard enough, so she looked up at his expression with regret and heartache and asked gently.

"Does it hurt?"

"Nope."

Gu Qianbei obviously didn't care too much about it. He turned around, picked up the phone on the table and pressed a number.

"Hey, Gu Qian, go take care of what happened in the afternoon."

What happened yesterday?

Soong Qingnuan pretended to be doing the bandaging seriously, but a strange feeling rose in her heart.

From his tone, it should be about the attack, but Su Chen was the one who asked him out at that time, could it be that he hired someone else to do it?

Gu Qianbei's tone was tough, as if he made up his mind. Just as he was about to say something even more fierce, he remembered Miss Soong.

"That's right, we must investigate him thoroughly and bring him back …"

He deliberately met her clear eyes, trying to show how much he valued her.

However, Soong Qingnuan didn't care about this at all, or perhaps she didn't even realize this.

"Um, if it's something I'm dizzy about, then there's no need to trouble yourself."

She lightly tied a knot with her fingers, folded her hands on her lap, and slowly stood up.

She didn't want to involve anyone else in the matters concerning Su Chen. It was a dispute between her and him.

Gu Qianbei, who was also hurt, naturally wouldn't agree.

He frowned slightly, his pitch-black eyes filled with doubt.

"Why?"

"I know what I'm doing and I don't want to pursue the matter."

This was her answer, without emotion, as if it came from the mouth of a robot.

Gu Qianbei, who was meticulous, noticed the sorrow under her indifferent expression. Since she insisted, he didn't force her.

"It's fine, go busy yourself, Gu Qian."

He hung up the phone, placed it on the table, and stared straight at Miss Soong.

"If anything happens to you, or if you need help, you can find me."

These were Gu Qianbei's heartfelt words. He did not want her to give anything for him, nor did he force her to agree to the deal with him.

Soong Qingnuan was stunned for a moment before a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Thank you, Mr. Gu. Soong Family is very grateful to have such a friend."

In her heart, this was just a formality. How many people were making promises with their mouths, but in the end, it was just a dream.

Her politeness made Gu Qianbei unhappy. Suddenly, he stood up, and immediately raised his head up above her. The warm air touched her face from top to bottom, and his uninjured hand even grabbed her wrist.

"As long as it is within my power, I will help."

Soong Qingnuan looked up and saw that he was only as close to her as a palm. Her heartbeat quickened.

"You …"

Before she could finish, a servant who had come in to deliver clothes opened the half-open door and stood awkwardly in the doorway.

"Eldest Young Master, I …" Let's just go out. "

Soong Qingnuan's face instantly turned boiling hot. She pretended to be calm and composed as she hurriedly pulled her wrist back while he was distracted.
