Chapter 10: Did He Want Revenge on Her Too?

There were stars in Jian Jianan’s eyes. She took one glance at the glass of red wine and soon fixed her gaze on Shen Linfeng. She knew he wanted to make a fool out of her on purpose. She could sense the smugness in his mocking tone. She smirked when she realized Gu Mocheng had no intention to help her. Did he want revenge on her too? “Such a generous man indeed. Would it mean I’m being unappreciative if I don’t drink it?” She took the red wine from Shen Linfeng, and finished it all. The way she drank was like she was drinking white wine. She was a vision of bravery and purity! Gu Mocheng frowned and stared at Jian Jianan, his face deadpan. After drinking the last drop of the wine, she turned the glass over. With her gaze on Gu Mocheng, she licked her tender, red lips with her pink tongue in a most seductive way. Gu Mocheng recalled their kiss at the army camp and he could not control how his body reacted. ‘Damn it, what is going on with him? Was Shen Linfeng right? Was it time for him to find a woman to release his sexual desires?’ Gu Mocheng wondered. “It is indeed a good wine!” Jian Jianan placed the glass on the table. ‘Clap clap clap…’ Shen Linfeng applauded and said without sincerity, “Miss Jian is the most genuine person I have ever met. Very well, as I promised, I’ll send you home. Shall we…” She raised her eyebrow and wagged a delicate index finger. She then pointed at Gu Mocheng, who had been quiet this whole time. “I don’t need you to send me home. I want him instead!” Gu Mocheng stood cold all of a sudden. “Linfeng, take her home. I’ll return on my own!” “…” Shen Linfeng was speechless. As she watched Gu Mocheng taking his leave, Jian Jianan wanted to grab onto him. “Hey, wait a moment…” Just then, all of a sudden, she blacked out! ‘Damn it, she just drank a glass of red wine. Why would she be dizzy?!’ Jian Jianan thought, puzzled. With her alcohol tolerance, she should be able to finish two bottles of red wine easily! ‘That was true, but how could she forget that this body was only 18. Technically speaking, there was a month to go before she turned 18!” In her past life, she had only started drinking when she was 20. However, it was her first time drinking with this body. Of course, she would be drunk after drinking so quickly! She felt so dizzy. Jian Jianan had not noticed the chair right in front of her, and tripped over it. With her injured leg being no help with balance, she fell flat on her face. The thought of helping her never crossed Shen Linfeng’s mind as he witnessed it happen. She deserved it for all the trouble she caused his brother! However, Shen Linfeng caught Gu Mocheng, who had been five meters away, rushing towards Jian Jianan. In a split second, he had her held tightly in his arms. Gu Mocheng had always kept his emotions hidden. However, for the first time, Shen Linfeng could easily read the anxious worry on his face. ‘Dear God, was he noticing something incredible?’ Shen Linfeng thought. After leaving the restaurant, Gu Mocheng tossed the car keys to Shen Linfeng. “You drive!” Shen Linfeng pouted. He, the son of Shen Group Entertainment, was being ordered around like a valet. If anyone treated him the way Gu Mocheng treated him, he would definitely have punched them in the face and made them lose all their teeth. The car had traveled for a distance and Jian Jianan, who had drunk a glass of wine was leaning on Gu Mocheng’s shoulder, sleeping. Shen Linfeng stole a glance at icy exterior Gu Mocheng was trying to hide from the back mirror. He coughed, “So are you planning to send her home yourself?” ‘Jian Jianan was the one who caused their engagement to break. If he were to send her back home in a drunken state, would that not signal to everyone that Jian Jianan is Gu Mocheng’s one and only?’ Gu Mocheng frowned and looked at Jian Jianan, who was in a deep sleep. He had half a mind to ditch her! “Take us to Jinyuan!” Shen Linfeng astounded. “What? You..” “Focus on the road!” “…” Shen Linfeng was at a loss for words. Shen Linfeng’s car halted at the entrance of Jinyuan after half an hour. Gu Mocheng got out of the car, and after that carried Jian Jianan in his arms. Jinyuan is a luxurious, exquisite condominium. It was also Gu Mocheng’s private residence. The Gu family was big. Gu Mocheng bought a housing unit in Jinyuan when he was 22. Whenever he was on break, he would go back to his old house and spend his nights in Jinyuan. Gu Mocheng liked serenity and freedom. The geographical location and the surrounding environment was superior. On top of that, it was suitable for Mengmeng as well. As a close friend, Shen Linfeng had never been to Gu Mocheng’s private condo. It was not that he did not want to visit. Gu Mocheng did not allow him to, and Mengmeng did not want to see him! He had not expected Gu Mocheng to bring Jian Jianan to his place today. He was pissed! Thinking on this, Shen Linfeng rushed from the car and stood in front of Gu Mocheng. “Third brother, are you sure you want to bring Jian Jianan home? Did you forget what she’s done? You wouldn’t be in all this trouble with your family if it weren’t for her… Could it be that you’re caring for Jian Jianan because of love?” Gu Mocheng did not answer. His eyes darkened as he stared at Shen Linfeng. “Once and only once!” Gu Mocheng growled harshly. “What?” “I don’t want to see anyone troubling Jian Jianan in the future!” Shen Linfeng watched Gu Mocheng enter the building and scratched his head in confusion. The threat in Gu Mocheng’s eyes gave him goosebumps. “Something is definitely strange here!” … Gu Mocheng placed Jian Jianan on his bed. He had probably brushed Jian Jianan’s wrist wound; she moaned painfully and pulled a frown on her face. He held up her wrist and, like a fool, blew twice on her wound like it would take the pain away! Gu Mocheng furrowed his brow seeing blood seeping from her bandage. Swiftly, he bent his body down and removed the bandage. The wound had ruptured, but fortunately there were no signs of infection. Damn, this woman. She knows she is injured. She should take better care of herself! Soldiers had basic first-aid skills. Gu Mocheng took out his first aid kit. Immediately, he applied antiseptic cream on Jian Jianan’s wound and bandaged up the wound again. He recalled her injured leg and, carefully, removed her tiny, white shoes. ‘Hmph, at least she was not stupid enough to wear high heels!’ Peeling off her socks, he could see Jian Jianan’s exquisite, slender feet. She had fair skin and a distinct structure to her legs. Her toes were fair and glossy like pearls and jades. However, it would hurt anyone to see the swollen, bruised ankle on such an attractive pair of legs. Gu Mocheng frowned and produced some huoluo oil. He applied some on Jian Jianan’s ankle and began to massage. He was gentle at first. However, as Jian Jianan moaned from the pain, he exerted more force. Gu Mocheng stopped massaging only after he noticed his face was scrunched up. Jian Jianan fell asleep again after that. Gu Mocheng gazed at Jian Jianan for a while, and stood up slowly. When Jian Jianan awoke, her body was drenched in sweat. She opened her eyes in shock when she noticed the unfamiliar environment she was in. At once, she sat upright in the bed. Then, she saw Gu Mocheng, wearing a frown, right in front of her. She also noticed they were tightly holding each other’s hands. Maybe it was because he was a soldier, but she could feel the thin layer of calluses on his palm. It made her feel safe. She raised an eyebrow and lifted their tightly held hands. There was satisfaction, along with a teasing smile, on her pale face. “Hey, don’t you have some explaining to do?”
