Lucky Marriage: Bigshot’s Pampered Wife-Chapter 14

Chapter 14

“What are you doing? Move aside!” Old Master Gong retracted the whip and scolded coldly with a displeased expression.

Gong Mingye was slightly stunned as his gaze fell on the woman’s slender back.

Gu Wan’an remained still. She clenched her fists and tried to speak “Grandfather–”

“Shut up! You have no right to speak here!” Before she could finish, Old Master Gong interrupted her directly.

“This matter started because of me, so I have the right to speak.”

Gu Wan’an expression was calm as she spoke in a clear and cold voice, “Second Uncle drugged me and tried to take advantage of me. That’s why Gong Mingye retaliated. I’m the one to blame. If you want to punish someone, then punish me.”

“Based on your one-sided statement? He’s not so shameless as to even want to get his hands on his niece-in-law!” Old Master Gong sneered.

Gong Mingye didn’t say a word, but his gaze spoke volumes.

Gu Wan’an wasn’t afraid either. She straightened her back and looked him squarely in the eyes. “There should be surveillance cameras in the living room, you can check the surveillance recordings.”

“If it was me who slandered Second Uncle, I am willing to take all the blame and punishment without complaints.”

“If Second Uncle is the one that plotted against me, I hope you can handle it impartially. After all, you are the head of the family and a reasonable person.”

Old Master Gong frowned and kept silent.

He knew better than anyone what kind of character his son had, but he just couldn’t swallow his anger and wanted to vent it.

He threw the long whip on the ground and looked at Gong Mingye and Gu Wan’an respectively.

Gu Wan’an was neither submissive nor arrogant under his cold stare.

Old Master Gong flung his sleeves and left.

Gong Mingye raised an eyebrow and watched as her tense and stiff back relaxed.

Quite scared.

But with some guts.

Then, he narrowed his eyes and scoffed. “Still not willing to get up from my lap?”

Gu Wan’an blushed.

Brushing against the man’s legs, she hastily scrambled up. She coughed lightly twice to moisten her throat. “You helped me once, and I protected you once. Now, we’re even. We don’t owe each other anything.”

Protect?

Quite novel.

The first time hearing it, it was actually from a woman.

The coldness in his eyes dissipated a little, and his gaze wavered, dark and heavy.

“Thump, thump, thump-”

A crisp, rhythmic knock came from the door.

Gu Wan’an walked over.

Gu Heng stood outside the door. “Second Young Lady, here’s anti-inflammatory medicine, alcohol, and ointment to promote wound healing. Please apply the medicine for Second Young Master.”

Gu Wan’an quickly shook her head to refuse. ​​”It’s better for you to do it.”

“I still have something to do. I’ll have to trouble you, Second Young Lady.” As soon as he was done speaking, Gu Heng slipped away.

She had no choice but to walk toward the man with the medicine bag. “That, turn around. I’ll help you apply the medicine.”

Gong Mingye turned around and faced her with his back.

The man was only wearing suit pants.

Sexy wheat-colored skin, except at this point the back was crisscrossed with whip marks that ruined the beauty and shocked the eye.

“It might hurt a little, so bear with it.” she said.

Gong Mingye didn’t even bother to turn his head and just ignored her.

Opening the antiseptic bottle and dipping a cotton swab into it, she carefully wiped it over the wound.

The wound was so deep that you could almost see the tender red flesh bursting from inside. Looking at it up close, it was even more terrifying.

The moment the alcohol was applied, Gong Mingye’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he shuddered as if he was in unbearable pain.

Gu Wan’an couldn’t help feeling guilty.

She bent down and gently blew on the wound.
