Chapter 188: Catching Adultery in the Act
Chapter 188 -188: Catching Adultery in the Act
A young girl was leaning against the headboard of the bed.
She was asleep, her head slightly tilted to one side.
Her high ponytail was somewhat disheveled, and stray strands of hair had fallen down, covering half of her face.
Her exquisitely perfect features could be barely discerned.
Her facial lines were soft and smooth, as if they were a piece of art meticulously sculpted by God.
She seemed like a stunning beauty who had stepped out of a painting.
So, everything last night wasn’t a dream!
He had really encountered an angel, and she had saved him!
Fang Lilin was somewhat spellbound.
This was the first time he had looked at a woman from such a close distance.
Her cherry-like lips were slightly open, with faint breaths emanating from within, serene and tranquil.
Fang Lilin was somewhat spellbound until Xia Weibao shivered and hugged her arms tightly around herself.
He then noticed that she was wearing only a pair of sweatpants and a tank top.
Damn it!
It was raining last night, and the temperature was so low, how could he use a frail girl’s clothes as his cover, letting her suffer the cold!
He struggled to drape his sportswear over her.
Accidentally, he jerked his wound, causing him to gasp in pain.
This movement woke Xia Weibao, who was in deep sleep.
Like the fluttering of butterfly wings, her eyelashes quivered twice as she slowly opened her eyes.
Her beautiful gaze was radiant and enchanting.
Within her clear eyes, Fang Lilin saw his own reflection.
At that moment, in her eyes, there was only him.
The tips of his ears inexplicably reddened.
Xia Weibao lifted her head, placing a hand on her neck, and gently rotated it twice.
Her slightly lazy eyes looked towards Fang Lilin in the morning light, “Are you awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else?”
Fang Lilin’s heart thumped wildly.
This was the first time he understood what it meant to be smitten.
He shook his head, nervous like a young man experiencing the stirrings of love for the first time, not even knowing where to put his hands.
Seeing his unnaturally flushed face, Xia Weibao reached out to touch his forehead.
She murmured softly, “Could it be that the snake venom wasn’t completely cleared?”
That shouldn’t be, her antidote could neutralize all poisons, a mere snake venom shouldn’t be a problem.
“No fever though,” said Xia Weibao, puzzled.
If the person was alright, why was his face so red?
Fang Lilin felt somewhat unnatural.
And at the same time, he was annoyed.
How could he have fainted last night, would that leave a bad impression on her?
He cleared his throat unnaturally, “Was it you who saved me last night?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt that his way of starting the conversation was too clumsy.
It was obvious, wasn’t it?
Xia Weibao nodded seriously, “Yes.”
“Thank you,” said Fang Lilin, his expression very sincere.
Xia Weibao was waiting for him to say more, but after a long wait from left to right, all she got was his grateful look…
Xia Weibao, “…”
That’s it?
No practical follow-up?
He can’t be that stingy!
Even though she wasn’t greedy, she was in need of money right now.
Sans a penny on her, leaving Lu Hualiang could mean starvation.
If she didn’t earn money, how was she supposed to survive after divorce?
Beg on the streets?
Nowadays, the profession of begging isn’t as easy as before.
Seeing her disappointed expression, Fang Lilin felt a sudden urge to laugh.
He couldn’t help but tease, “Or do you expect me to offer myself in return? It’s only right to offer myself for the grace of saving a life, if you don’t mind…”
“Stop!” Xia Weibao jumped up as if seeing a ghost, “Enough, I only saved you by chance, no need for any compensation!”
To hell with offering oneself!
Just mentioning it gave her psychological trauma!
Back then, when she first met Dog Emperor, she saved him too.
Then that jerk talked about offering himself in return.
At the time, thinking he was quite handsome, she figured offering oneself wasn’t a loss; she thought of it like keeping a male companion.
Turns out the joke was on her in the end!
Beauty misleads!
What a tearful heartache!
Seeing her extreme reaction, Fang Lilin was a bit disappointed.
He handed over the clothes, “Put them on first, don’t catch cold.”
Xia Weibao glanced at the fireplace, all that remained were ashes.
No wonder she had been feeling cold.
She took the clothes, sat down by the bed, and checked his pulse.
Ensuring his body would not catch a chill, she then put on the clothes.
“What’s your name?”
Bang!
Before Xia Weibao could answer, the cabin door was suddenly kicked open.
