Chapter 1403 - 1404: Ambush 18

"Let me see!"

Looking at the ground full of bodies, Tian Tian felt shocked and incredulous, even though she had known this would be the outcome for some time.

It wasn’t until Shen Tiancheng carried her to the cave entrance above and started taking off her clothes that Tian Tian suddenly snapped back to reality.

"I’m fine!"

The stinging in her arm wasn’t from a bullet wound; rather, it was from a stone fragment kicked up by a mercenary’s shot that grazed her skin.

Despite the sting, she knew from these days that such superficial wounds were nothing to worry about.

Seeing Shen Tiancheng still insistently removing her clothes, Tian Tian’s cheeks flushed with anger.

"Shen Tiancheng, I said I’m fine!"

Shen Tiancheng was very forceful, and with the absolute disparity in their strength, Tian Tian couldn’t possibly resist him.

Fortunately, Shen Tiancheng only intended to take off the sleeve of her thick coat, appearing to act quickly, yet he was very careful as he rolled up her sleeve.

On her pale, alabaster-like arm, the wound was still bleeding and looked quite alarming.

Tian Tian hadn’t expected the wound to be so large.

As Shen Tiancheng quickly grabbed her backpack and took out what he needed to bandage and clean her wound, she remained silent.

After seeing Tian Tian’s arm was bandaged very well, Shen Tiancheng’s gloomy face slightly relaxed.

His long, phoenix-like eyes fell on Tian Tian’s white, delicate yet thin face, and he suddenly reached out, gently pulling her into his arms.

"I will not let this happen again!"

Tian Tian: "..."

Shen Tiancheng’s voice was deep and hoarse, as if he was trying hard to suppress something.

Because she was held in his arms, Tian Tian could not see the expression on his face, but she felt indescribable emotions in her heart.

Recalling the lust and malice in the mercenaries’ eyes as they rushed in, Tian Tian’s body couldn’t help but tremble.

"Don’t be afraid!"

Shen Tiancheng’s voice was very gentle, more genuinely soft and warm than his deliberately gentle voice of the past, carrying a tenderness he himself hadn’t noticed.

During these days together, he saw a completely different Tian Tian, seemingly petite and fragile, but gradually growing stronger from initial fear.

And his attention was slowly drawn to her.

Shen Tiancheng extended his hand, gently patting Tian Tian’s back, softly comforting her.

Then, suddenly, Tian Tian pushed him away and stepped back from his embrace.

With her face alternating between red and white, Tian Tian lowered her eyes to the ground.

"I’m okay now, thank you!"

Seeing Tian Tian no longer soft and obedient like before, Shen Tiancheng looked at his empty embrace, slightly furrowing his brows.

Glancing at Tian Tian’s unnatural expression, Shen Tiancheng let out a low, mischievous chuckle.

"If you truly want to thank me, why not... give me a kiss?"

Tian Tian: "..."

She suddenly lifted her eyes to look at Shen Tiancheng.

Seeing Shen Tiancheng’s gentle gaze with a faint, alluring smile as he looked at her, Tian Tian’s expression became even paler.

"I prefer gratitude shown through actions!"

Bai Chenyao’s words seemed to still linger in her ears.

Tian Tian’s complexion was a mix of red and white, then she turned around, quickly packing up the backpack that Shen Tiancheng had just opened, avoiding his intense gaze.

"I’ll clean up here!"
