Become the Biological Mother of a Three-Year-Old Villain Cub (MTL)

Chapter 72: Heartbeat

Every slight tremor scratched her heart.

When Meng Yuwei and Xue Hongjun were arguing and cursing at each other, Xue Huiyu took a deep breath to calm down her anger, and her hand was gently lifted up.

Pei Wenyu found iodine cotton swabs and band-aids from somewhere and carefully disinfected the wound on her palm.

Before Pei Wenyu came, she had already cut the hemp rope with broken glass, but she also hurt her hand.

"Mr. Pei, I'll do it myself."

Being gently held by his hand, the warmth came from her fingertips, and the stinging sensation in the wound gradually disappeared. What followed was the cool feeling of iodine gently applied to her palm. Xue Huiyu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Xue Huiyu has been treating her wounds by herself since her mother passed away. Moreover, this kind of wound will heal automatically even if it is not treated. Xue Huiyu reached out to take the cotton swab, but Pei Wenyu blocked it with her backhand.

"You have a wound on your fingertip, so it's not convenient to use a cotton swab or remove a band-aid. I'll apply the medicine after the iodine dries."

"No need to apply medicine..." The wound will heal soon. Xue Huiyu was really afraid that Pei Wenyu would notice that something was wrong with her.

"If you don't apply the medicine properly, it will leave scars."

Pei Wenyu was heartbroken.

In the past, Xue Huiyu would never allow herself to have an ugly scar. Once she was injured, she would use all kinds of ointments and scar removal patches.

but now......

Compared with her jade-white palms, the dried bloodstains were particularly glaring, but she didn't care about the scars on her hands and didn't even bother to apply ointment!

What happened in these three and a half years that made her change so much... Pei Wenyu really didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Just seeing her frown slightly, I felt so distressed that I didn't know what to do, so I applied the iodine more gently.

Xue Huiyu didn't expect Pei Wenyu to be so persistent in disinfecting and applying medicine to herself.

Looking at his focused look with his eyes downcast, his sharp jawline, his tightly pursed lips, and his bony fingers delicately applying the medicine to her, Xue Huiyu swallowed subconsciously...

Pei Wenyu is really... pretty...

His long eyelashes drooped, and his thick, curled eyelashes cast shadows on his handsome face. Every slight tremor of his eyelashes fell gently on her heart like a feather, and also tickled her heart.

Wait, what is she thinking?

Didn't she decide to enter into a contractual marriage with Pei Wenyu because of his good looks and his quiet and reserved personality?

Xue Huiyu immediately looked away, and changed the subject guiltily, asking, "Mr. Pei, why did you come here today...was it because of my text message? That was sent by Qi Ruixuan."

After the iodine dried, Pei Wenyu began to apply medicine to Xue Huiyu.

He brought out the story he had prepared long ago: "Yuqi has always been accompanied by Miss Shen to sleep. Because Miss Shen has not come back, Yuqi has been making a fuss and refused to go to bed. I wanted to call and ask you what time you will be back, but I couldn't get through to you. In addition, when I was investigating Pei Yongyu, I found Wei Lun. I learned that Wei Lun would also attend your charity party today, so I was a little worried and planned to come and see the situation. The most crucial evidence is that you called me Mr. Pei, not Mr. Pei... So that text message confirmed my idea that you were in a state of being unreachable and might be waiting for rescue. So I immediately contacted Officer Chen, the captain of the anti-pornography brigade who I know. Officer Chen is the officer in charge of investigating the sexual bribery of Pei Zheng's hotel. Officer Chen also felt that there was something wrong with this charity party. So the police were dispatched immediately."
