CHAPTER 259: CHAPTER 259: APPLYING MEDICINE (2)

"Stand still!" He Zerui’s face seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds, his cold and domineering command startled Xuanxuan, making her heart race.

"I... I don’t want to listen to you!" Xuanxuan’s lips trembled. She suppressed the fear in her heart and shouted loudly.

"..."

He Zerui remained silent, but his actions were faster than Xuanxuan’s. Before she could react, he reached out and grabbed her shoulder, stopping her from leaving.

"What are you doing? Let go of me!" Xuanxuan glared at He Zerui. After speaking, she twisted her body and struggled, trying to break free from He Zerui’s grasp.

Seeing this, the butler became even more anxious. He shuffled his feet but dared not step into the room, only standing at the door, anxiously persuading, "Young master, Xuanxuan is still young, you..."

"Shut up!"

He Zerui didn’t want to hear the butler’s nagging, his eyes looked cold, and his voice was icy, making people’s hearts tremble!

"..."

Hearing He Zerui’s roar, the butler’s heart shivered a few times. He closed his mouth tightly and didn’t dare to speak again, only looking at Xuanxuan with worried eyes.

Xuanxuan never stopped struggling for a moment, but He Zerui’s grip was very strong. Even if she used all her strength, she couldn’t break free, making her so annoyed that she wanted to bite someone.

With a thought in mind, Xuanxuan immediately took action. Anyway, this guy was so annoying, she would definitely not be polite to him! But just as Xuanxuan opened her mouth and before her teeth could touch He Zerui’s hand, her forehead was pressed by him with great force, making her unable to move.

"Are you a dog? Trying to bite people?" He Zerui’s eyes darkened slightly, and his tone was eerie.

"You are the dog!" Xuanxuan’s anger overwhelmed her rationality. She was no longer afraid and vented her dissatisfaction openly.

"Do you want me to bite you?"

"You pervert!" Xuanxuan was somewhat unable to follow He Zerui’s thoughts, stunned for a moment, then scolded.

Pervert?

He Zerui smiled, his usually expressionless face seemed to suddenly blossom into a radiant flower!

Indeed a pervert!

Xuanxuan had no mood to appreciate the fleeting joy on He Zerui’s face, only feeling there must be something wrong with his brain to still be able to laugh after being called a pervert!

"Let me go, or I’ll tell Mom that you bullied me!" Unable to resist, Xuanxuan had to bring Mi Wan into the conversation, hoping to scare He Zerui.

"Shut up and stand still!" He Zerui gave Xuanxuan a cold glance, saying this while letting go of her.

Hmph! I knew you didn’t really dare to bully me!

Xuanxuan snorted inwardly, thinking He Zerui was scared by her words, which was why he let her go. But just as she turned around and before she could take a step, she was grabbed by He Zerui again.

"I told you to stand still, didn’t you hear?" He Zerui stood up from the chair. He was a head taller than Xuanxuan, looking down at her with a strong aura.

Why should I listen to you!

Xuanxuan glared at He Zerui angrily. But facing the cold and domineering He Zerui, she was somewhat scared. If she angered this pervert, who knows if he would hit her like that bad woman!

Slowly, Xuanxuan closed her eyes, deciding not to argue with him anymore, looking like she was ready to be handled however he wanted.

The suddenly quiet Xuanxuan seemed like a docile little kitten. He Zerui quietly watched for a few seconds then picked up the ointment from the table.

"Hiss—"

As soon as He Zerui’s hand touched Xuanxuan’s cheek, Xuanxuan immediately opened her eyes, turned her head to the side, and gasped.

"You’re hurting me!" Xuanxuan said angrily, completely forgetting that she had just said her cheek didn’t hurt anymore.

"You just said it didn’t hurt and now it does?" He Zerui taunted deliberately.

Upon hearing this, Xuanxuan lowered her eyes, looking at the floor without saying a word.

In fact, He Zerui had been very careful to control his strength. The moment his fingers touched Xuanxuan’s face, he was particularly gentle, but even so, he still ended up hurting her.

Next, the room returned to quiet. Xuanxuan bit her lip, enduring the pain as He Zerui applied the medicine. The butler, who had been worried to death a few minutes ago, was now not only relieved but also felt extremely gratified, unable to help but smile, thinking, these two kids being affectionate is truly beautiful!

"All done."

After the ointment was applied, Xuanxuan didn’t lift her head for a while. He Zerui coldly reminded her while looking at the back of her head.

"..." Xuanxuan stood motionless, not reacting at all.

Seeing this, He Zerui’s eyes flickered. He reached out and grabbed Xuanxuan’s chin, forcibly making her lift her head.

Xuanxuan’s eyes were red, tears brimming, like dewdrops on a petal on a summer morning, ready to fall at a touch.

He Zerui’s pupils shrank, a look of surprise quickly flashed across his face but disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Crybaby!" He Zerui snorted coldly, as if mocking her.

Slap!

Xuanxuan, with her eyes red like a rabbit, suddenly hit away He Zerui’s hand angrily, then ran back to her room with her head lowered.

What just happened?

The butler didn’t react for a moment, finding it hard to accept that the beautiful scene just now had suddenly shattered.

"Young master..."

"Get out!"

He Zerui, in a bad mood, didn’t wait for the butler to finish his words, sending him away with a gloomy face.

The butler wasn’t dumb. Knowing that he’d hit a nerve, he swiftly left, not daring to nag further.

Back in her room, Xuanxuan held the phone, complaining to Cancan for a while until the butler called her down for lunch, where she hung up the call.

"Xuanxuan, actually, young master he..."

"Uncle Butler, what good food did Mom make today?" Xuanxuan, holding a grudge against He Zerui, had no interest in listening about him and quickly changed the topic.

"Uh..." The butler was momentarily speechless, thinking carefully before naming two dishes.

"Wow, great, these are my favorite dishes." Xuanxuan cheered happily and rushed down the stairs.

"Xuanxuan, slow down! Be careful not to fall." The butler followed, reminding her, thinking, after all, time is on their side, the affection between Xuanxuan and the young master would surely improve gradually.

Mi Wan was an excellent cook. Looking at the table filled with delicious dishes, Xuanxuan’s eyes sparkled like gold. As soon as she sat down, she grabbed the chopsticks and began eating, turning her inner sorrow into...
