As soon as Xu Ye and the others got Master Jiu situated, they left.
Xiao Jiuyan was really drunk. He didn't even open his eyes as Guan Xi pushed his wheelchair to his bedroom along with Housekeeper Xiang. She could smell the strong scent of alcohol on him.
"Little Madam, can you keep an eye on Master Jiu? I'll go make a bowl of hangover soup for him. I'll let him sleep after he drinks it," Housekeeper Xiang said.
"Housekeeper Xiang..." Guan Xi wanted to offer to make the soup and have Housekeeper Xiang accompany Master Jiu instead.
She didn't want to stay in the same space as Master Jiu for that long.
She wasn't able to finish her sentence, though.
Housekeeper Xiang had already left.
Guan Xi wanted to cry. She so didn't want to be doing this.
Moreover, she didn't know how to take care of a drunk man.
Guan Xi stole a glance at Xiao Jiuyan.
He was wearing a black suit with his shirt unbuttoned, revealing his firm and fair chest.
Perhaps it was because she could not see his cold, dark eyes, but suddenly, Guan Xi didn't find Xiao Jiuyan as scary as before. Instead, in his languid state, she actually saw a little bit of gentleness in him.
'Stop! Stop!'
'What the hell are you thinking, Guan Xi?'
'This old man is cruel and scary. He's not gentle!'
'What is wrong with my brain?'
Guan Xi quickly stopped her horrifying thoughts.
'What should I do now?'
After thinking about it for a while, she went into the bathroom, took Xiao Jiuyan's towel, soaked it in hot water, and wrung it dry. She came out and stood in front of Xiao Jiuyan, intending to wipe his face.
Just as the towel in her hand touched his face, he opened his eyes.
He swiftly grabbed her wrist, stopping her.
His dark eyes were sharp as blades as he looked at her.
Guan Xi was shocked by Xiao Jiuyan's cold and terrifying eyes.
Her instincts told her that she was in danger.
She suddenly felt as if she could not breathe. It was not until Xiao Jiuyan squeezed her wrist forcefully that she let out a cry of pain. "Master Jiu, it hurts. It's me. Guan... Wenxi, I'm Gu Wenxi..."
Xiao Jiuyan did not let go. His eyes narrowed slightly as if he was trying to identify the person in front of him.
Guan Xi felt the pain in her wrist increasing.
'Damn! It really hurts!'
Was he going to break her hand?
She looked at Xiao Jiuyan, her expression pitiful. With a soft voice, she said, "Master Jiu, you're hurting me..."
Her weak cry of pain was soft and heart-wrenching, touching Xiao Jiuyan's cold heart.
His grip on her wrist loosened a little, but his gaze started to become deeper and deeper.
The little girl in front of him has a round face the size of his palm and has eyes that were bright and tender.
She was actually a little cute.
"Master Jiu, can you... let go of me? You're hurting me!" Guan Xi tried to pull her wrist back from his hand, but failed. "Please, let go."
Xiao Jiuyan's eyes turned impossibly darker.
'Damn it! Is he going to let go or not?'
She could actually feel her arm going numb with how tight his grip was.
With all her strength, Guan Xi pulled her wrist back from his grasp. She was close to succeeding when Xiao Jiuyan suddenly pulled her forward, making her lose her balance. She fell hard onto Xiao Jiuyan's firm chest...
