Chapter 171: Chapter 172: Disinfect Before Bed?

A heaviness settled in her lower abdomen as his hand reached out, pinching the drawstring of her sweatpants.

"Huangfu Jue!"

She struggled and roared angrily, raising her fist to strike his face.

Blocking her fist with his forearm, he caught both her arms in a counter move. Seizing a gauze from the bag, he quickly wrapped up her hands and tied them to the head of the bed.

"Huangfu Jue, let me go. You..."

"If you don’t want to wake Xiaotang, keep your voice down!"

With a strong tug, he pulled her pants down from her waist.

She lifted her uninjured leg to kick him, but he caught her ankle, tore off the leg of the pants, and pressed her leg down with his foot. He also wrapped it up with gauze and secured it.

Her top had already been torn open by him. She wasn’t wearing anything under her sweatpants, and now she was nearly half-naked. Watching him reach for her injured leg, she bit down on her teeth and spoke in a low voice.

"Huangfu Jue, if you touch me again, I will castrate you myself!"

The man, as if deaf to her threat, carefully grabbed her injured leg. He gently removed the blood-stained, dirty sweatpants from under her leg, taking great care not to touch her bandaged wound.

Tossing the pants aside, he tied her injured foot to the bedpost and turned to retrieve a disinfectant cotton ball from his medical bag.

Disinfecting before bed?

As expected, he’s a germophobe!

Gan Yuan gritted her teeth at the thought.

Cleaning his fingers with the cotton ball, he took a fresh one and bent down to attentively clean her wound.

The touch of the medicated cotton was slightly painful and cool... She instinctively shrank back, and feeling her movement, he lightened his touch even more.

Once disinfection was complete, he wiped his fingers clean and took out medicine and a cotton swab to carefully apply ointment to the gash.

...

Bound in a spread-eagle position on the bed, even the normally feisty Gan Yuan had flushed cheeks at this moment. Though she bit down hard and kept a straight face, her body had already started to react oddly to his touches.

This bastard, isn’t he taking too long with the disinfection?

"Aren’t you finished yet!"

She complained irritably, her voice hoarse and dry.

If she was feeling this way already, what about Huangfu Jue?

His gaze swept over her fair calves as he grabbed a blanket to cover her body. Taking a deep breath, he walked to the wardrobe and rummaged out a pair of her panties and sleep pants, placing them beside her.

He raised his hand to steady her face, bending down toward her.

"I’m going to untie you now. Don’t move around, or else... you know the consequences."

His fingers moved, loosening the slipknot on her wrist.

The moment the knot was untied, her hand was free. She didn’t wait for him; she untied the other one herself.

By then, Huangfu Jue had already loosened the gauze on her ankle.

"Get out!" she growled.

He stood by the bed, unmoving.

"I want to get dressed." She shouted.

The man walked to the end of the bed, turned his back on her. It wasn’t because he feared she might mind, but because he feared he wouldn’t be able to control himself.

Clenching her teeth, Gan Yuan quickly put on her clothes. Just as she had pulled the sleep pants up to her waist, he turned back around, and she immediately smoothed out the oversized shirt she was wearing.

Glancing at the dirty pants he had thrown on the ground, she softened her tone and asked quietly.

"My slippers are outside. Could you... get them for me?"

His gaze swept over her flushed face, a flicker of something unusual crossing his eyes. He stepped toward the door and casually picked up the dirty pants on his way there.

Did she think he didn’t know her real aim?
