Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Chapter 728: Chapter 732: Two Hearts Getting Closer and Closer

Mi Sheng carefully helped Qiao Zui by supporting his arm as he guided him out of the living room.

The entire group filed out one by one, with Fang Yao buying up the rear.

Fang Yixian watched as Fang Yao walked in front of him, sighing silently, “Ah Yao, stay with us tonight and keep Grandfather company. Tomorrow… Grandfather will be buried.”

Fang Yao stopped in his tracks and closed his eyes, “…Fine, one last night.”

After tonight and his grandfather’s burial, he would have no ties to this family.

Qiao Zui turned around and looked at Fang Yao with worry.

Gu Junzhu spoke up calmly, “It’s okay, I’ll have someone stay behind to look after him.”

Qiao Zui nodded his head, but his gaze lingered on Fang Yao, worry evident on his face, before he turned and left.

Behind him, Fang Mingzhu tried to follow but was firmly held back by Fang Yixian.

When the group returned to the Qiao’s house, the family doctor was already waiting.

Mi Sheng helped Qiao Zui into the house where the family doctor immediately approached to tend to his wounds.

The burn wasn’t a big deal to Qiao Zui, but the unbearable pain he was experiencing came from when the porcelain cup hit his arm, cutting into his nerves with a sharp edge.

Just like the rising tide, as one wave of pain was receding, another came crashing, causing his whole body to tremble. The pain had soaked his clothes in cold sweat again and again, to the point where he wished he could just cut off his injured arm.

The family doctor treated his burn wounds. However, the injury on his arm had affected his nerves and there was nothing the doctor could do other than giving Qiao Zui a painkiller and instructing him to rest in bed.Update by n0vgo.c0

Qiao Zui’s face was pale, looking like he could faint at any moment. Ye Xingbei quickly prepared a pot of millet porridge in the kitchen and served it to him after it had cooled down. Mi Sheng fed Qiao Zui half a bowl of the porridge, then helped him to his bedroom to rest.

She handed a bowl of porridge to Gu Junzhu, “Eat something. We’ve been traveling all day without eating.”

The food on the plane was unappetizing and everyone was in a sour mood, so no one ate much on the flight.

Qiao Zui was in such pain, and despite Gu Junzhu not verbalizing his worries, he was in agony inside.

He often complained about Qiao Zui, but his nephew grew up under his care, as if a part of him. Qiao Zui’s arm hurt, but his heart hurt even more.

His bad mood had led to a poor appetite, but out of respect for Ye Xingbei’s effort, he managed to eat a little bit of the porridge before placing the bowl back on the table.

Ye Xingbei picked up the bowl again, spooned a mouthful and raised it to his lips, “Eat a little more, otherwise, your stomach will hurt again.”

Gu Junzhu had a history of gastric problems before.

After he was discharged from the military and returned home, the family’s doctor and chef nursed him back to health.

Facing Ye Xingbei’s tender care, Gu Junzhu didn’t want to disappoint her. He swallowed the spoonful of porridge she offered to his lips, took the bowl and spoon from her, “I’ll do it myself. You should eat something too. If you don’t like the porridge, you can ask the kitchen to cook something else.”

“A bowl of porridge will suffice for me.” Ye Xingbei felt slightly unused to seeing Gu Junzhu obediently eating his porridge.

Had this been before, if she fussed over him this much, the Fifth Lord of Gu would always flirt back with suggestive remarks.

But today, his brows were furrowed coldly in a piercing silence, showing just how much the Fang family had upset him.

As she watched Gu Junzhu finish his porridge, they both returned to the bedroom. After taking a shower, as they lay in bed, Ye Xingbei picked up the photo frame from the bedside table.

In the picture, Gu Junzhu was dressed formally, his handsome face sharp like a sword, his charm irresistible.

Ye Xingbei held the photo frame and looked around the room, “Is this the bedroom your sister prepared for you?”
