Chapter 112: Chapter 111: Gratitude (3 Updates)

Her foot was grasped in his hand, and Xu Niannian’s face was so red it could bleed.

She hadn’t expected to be saved by Jin Yu.

Her feelings toward Jin Yu were complicated. Before today, she truly disliked him.

Not solely because he had forced himself on her; she could tell he wasn’t in his right mind at the time.

That reason only constituted a small part of her dislike.

The most important thing was that every encounter with him after that had been unpleasant; he always had that disgusting reaction to her.

Combined with his arrogant and self-centered nature, her dislike for him grew stronger.

But today, she had actually been saved by him.

When she had lost all hope, thinking she would definitely fall into that vile man’s hands, he saved her.

Putting aside all their prior unpleasant encounters, for what happened today, she was very grateful to him.

Jin Yu’s head was lowered as he massaged her ankle, using some medicinal wine he seemed to have conjured from nowhere.

The smell of the medicinal wine was very pungent.

Xu Niannian sat on the bed, and from this angle, she could clearly see Jin Yu’s side profile.

His features were cool and sharp; when he was silent, he looked very stern and stylish.

His handsome features were beyond reproach.

Her ankle was in pain, his movements none too gentle, just like him—they were rough to the extreme, his grip on her ankle as firm as a vice.

Both his hands were soaked with medicinal wine, repeatedly massaging her swollen ankle.

Xu Niannian’s tear ducts worked several times from the pain, but she bore it and didn’t cry out.

"It’s done,"

When he was done massaging, Jin Yu capped the medicinal wine and stood up.

He was tall, and Xu Niannian, sitting on the bed looking up at him, was overwhelmed by his commanding presence.

"Thank you for today," Xu Niannian said uncomfortably.

Being saved by someone she disliked was an awkward feeling.

She couldn’t continue to dislike him as she had before, nor could she feel profoundly indebted.

She could only acknowledge her gratitude.

Thankful that he saved her.

The situation with Du Jiahao was different.

This man was disgusting and lecherous, with a gaze so lascivious it was unbearable.

As for Jin Yu, perhaps it was because he was too handsome, or because she was superficial—drawn to looks—or maybe because his eyes were nearly closed at the time, preventing her from seeing his expression.

About that incident, she didn’t feel as repulsed as she perhaps should have. If she hadn’t run into him again, she doubted she would have even thought about getting revenge.

Every time she thought about getting revenge, it was after he had angered her to no end.

"You’ve already thanked me once," Jin Yu said in a neutral tone, his deep eyes slightly squinting as he scrutinized the woman before him.

"What happened today?" Jin Yu suddenly leaned in closer, one hand braced on the hospital bed, the other pinching her chin: "How did you get involved with such a scumbag?"

Xu Niannian told him about coming to the store, witnessing Du Jiahao about to hit Li Qingshui.

After listening, Jin Yu’s brows were tightly knotted, to the point that the strength of his grip on her chin was quite forceful.

"Don’t you know your face is likely to lead to crime? Or do you think you have the stature to contend with that man?"

Jin Yu’s voice was low, his deep, mellow tones seductive.

"I... I didn’t think that much at the time,"

Xu Niannian knew he was stating the truth.

Having been reborn in this body for over a month, although she often became the focus of men, nothing had happened yet, leading her to a false sense of security.

If that scum had succeeded today, she feared she would never be able to be as indifferent and relaxed as the first time Jin Yu had forced himself on her.
