In the steaming bathroom, Qin Mingyuan held someone in his arms and sat in a bathtub filled with hot water, his arms around his waist, his chin resting on his shoulder, his eyes slightly lowered.
The hot water and the man's body temperature dispelled the coldness in Yun Pei's body. He sat quietly, letting the other man hold him to calm him down.
His eyelashes became wet due to the steam, and he blinked his eyes and tried to turn his head to look at Qin Mingyuan. The distance was too close, and the most eye-catching thing in his sight was the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye.
Pursing his lips, he said: "I'm sorry..."
Qin Mingyuan, who seemed to have turned into a robot without power, finally responded when he heard his voice. He moved away and looked into his eyes. "Why are you apologizing?"
Yun Pei was silent. He lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at the other person. After a while, he whispered, "I was left alone on purpose..."
He had felt Yun Yuexian's malicious gaze at the banquet. He knew her too well, so he suggested going to the balcony to get some fresh air.
In fact, this was his last chance to the other party. If he did nothing but yelled at him to vent his anger, then the relationship between them could be written off once Huo Lijuan's issue was resolved.
In fact, all the disputes and mutual dislike between them came more from the grudges between adults.
In the end, Yun Yuexian did not "disappoint" him and finally chose to attack him, regardless of whether the other party really wanted to kill him or teach him a lesson.
"I know." Qin Mingyuan was not surprised. He scooped up some water and poured it on the young man's shoulders. "I guessed it when I saw Yun Yuexian."
Because they are investigating Huo Lijuan's case in more detail recently, in case there is any accident with the bone marrow matching, they can also make her pay the price through other means afterwards. They are afraid that if the matter is leaked, the other party will do something extreme out of desperation, so he had someone install a locator on Yun Pei's wheelchair.
In addition to passive positioning, the other party can also send the real-time location to his mobile phone, ensuring that he can know whether he has encountered any accident at the first time.
Although their actions were very careful and their investigation was relatively covert, Huo Lijuan would not discover anything, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
But they didn't expect that the first use would be in this situation.
"I know that too..." Yun Pei raised his eyes and looked at him. The man was so smart that he would definitely guess his plan quickly. "I'm sorry, I should have discussed it with you. I made you worry."
"You won't." Qin Mingyuan was very sure, "You know if you tell me, I will definitely not let you do it, so even if it happens again, you won't discuss it with me."
He looked at the other person's flickering eyes, sighed, and put his chin back on his shoulder, "Yun Pei, don't do anything dangerous. If I don't receive the location information, if I don't get there in time..."
"No." Holding his arm around his waist, Yun Pei said firmly, "I know you will come, and you won't let anything happen to me."
After that, without waiting for the man to answer, he stroked the tight muscle lines under his hand again and continued: "But there won't be a next time. This is the last time. I promise."
After he finished speaking, the bathroom was quiet for a while, with only the slight sound of water in the silence.
Qin Mingyuan lowered his head and buried his face in the young man's wet neck. He said in a low and deep voice, "My dear, in this world, you are the only one who truly belongs to me."
No matter whether it is friendship or family affection, they are all doing it for "Qin Mingyuan". Only Yun Pei is always staring at the soul that belongs to Qin Mingyuan alone and is hidden under this body.
So, don't let me lose you.
Yun Pei seemed to understand the implication of his words. He paused, and for some reason, a deep pain rose in his heart, as if something was squeezing it.
He touched the man's face with his backhand, and the water droplets on it looked like his tears. Yun Pei turned his head and kissed the corner of his mouth, "I belong to you, only you."
Qin Mingyuan raised his face, as if he had finally aroused the fear in him. He put his hand on the back of his neck to prevent him from escaping and kissed him back fiercely.
Yun Pei cooperated by slightly tilting her head to facilitate his movements. Even though her lips were bitten and hurt, she did not retreat. Instead, she gently stroked the man's ears to soothe him.
The sticky and warm sound of water echoed in the bathroom for a long time.
Qin Mingyuan, wrapped in a bathrobe, carried Yun Pei, who was also wearing a bathrobe, out of the bathroom, put him on the fairly comfortable big bed in the guest room, and pulled the quilt to cover his legs.
When he turned around, he found the cleaned wheelchair next to him with two sets of neatly folded clothes on it. He picked them up and took a look. They were exactly the same size as theirs and were new.
Gao Qing is indeed very thoughtful in her work.
Qin Mingyuan didn't bother to be polite with her. He helped Yun Pei change her clothes first, and then started to take care of himself.
As if the time was calculated, almost as soon as they were dressed, there was a knock on the door. The voice outside belonged to the servant who had brought them to the room.
"Gentlemen, the doctor is waiting outside. Is it convenient for you to bring him in now?"
"Bring it here." Qin Mingyuan replied, and the other party responded quickly.
Yun Pei sat on the bed and looked at him quietly. He didn't actually feel any discomfort after taking a bath, but he didn't say that he didn't need to see a doctor. If it could make the man feel at ease, he could accept the examination.
The servant acted quickly and before they had to wait for more than a few minutes, the other party came back with the doctor.
After the examination, it was found that there was indeed nothing wrong with Yun Pei's body. However, considering his physical condition, the doctor still prescribed some preventive medicine for him and told him to take it once later. If there were no signs of illness when he woke up tomorrow, he would not need to take it.
After sending the doctor away, the servant quickly brought up two bowls of hot ginger soup for them to drink to warm their bodies.
From the time she suspected something was wrong until now, Gao Qing's actions have been extremely thoughtful. She has both tough methods and the delicate side of a woman. No wonder she was able to hold power firmly in her hands despite the chaotic situation in the Liang family.
The ginger soup didn't taste very good. Yun Pei frowned and drank it in one gulp. His body, which had already warmed up from taking a shower, became even hotter.
Qin Mingyuan's expression remained unchanged, as if he had just drunk tasteless water.
After drinking, he put down the bowl, took the one in the young man’s hand, folded it in, and temporarily placed it on the bedside table.
"Knock knock knock."
There was another polite knock on the door. Qin Mingyuan, who had just held Yun Pei's hand and was about to say something to him, paused, raised his eyes and looked at the person. They exchanged a knowing look.
"Come in."
The servant had just come and the door was ajar. The person outside knocked on the door out of respect, and when he heard his response, he pushed the door open and came in.
The person who came in was Gao Qing, who was still wearing a dress. She had just seen off all the guests and came up straight away without even taking a few minutes to rest.
"Master Yun, are you okay?" She came closer and asked the person leaning on the bed first.
"It's okay. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Gao." Yun Pei nodded politely and pointed to the chair next to him, "Please sit down."
Gao Qing smiled, sat down on the chair, gathered her shawl, and said, "I asked someone to check the surveillance cameras, and they only captured the scene of Yun Yuexian pushing Young Master Yun. The surveillance cameras by the lake didn't capture any unnecessary movements of his because of the angle."
She said that, presumably the bodyguard had told her what happened by the lake. She continued, "If we want to prove that he pushed Young Master Yun down, the surveillance footage alone may not be enough."
Yun Pei looked at her and said calmly, "Mr. Gao really thinks that it was Yun Yuexian who pushed me. Maybe it was just like he said, I was careless."
Gao Qing kept smiling, looking elegant and dignified. "I don't mind assuming the worst of him."
After saying this, they both understood.
Yun Pei glanced at the man and raised his chin slightly to indicate the wheelchair next to him. "There is a miniature camera installed on the front of the armrest. When Yun Yuexian came to see me, I had already started recording."
These were all arranged by Qin Mingyuan. As Gao Qing said, he didn't mind using the greatest malice to speculate the Yun family, so he took these precautions to preserve evidence. He had imagined that if someone wanted to harm Yun Pei, they might damage his phone to prevent it from being located or tracked, but they would probably not leave his wheelchair behind. In addition to taking him away for convenience, ordinary people generally wouldn't think that the wheelchair would be tampered with.
Not to mention that Yun Yuexian's methods were not sophisticated and he didn't think it through clearly. It was more like an irrational act of revenge carried out on impulse.
Gao Qing raised her eyebrows and turned to look at the wheelchair, which was nothing special. "Before that..."
Qin Mingyuan understood what she wanted to say and continued, "Waterproof equipment."
That's no problem. Gao Qing crossed her legs. Even at her age, her figure still looked graceful. "How are you going to deal with this?"
She came here mainly to confirm their attitude so that she could help with the preparations. After all, this happened at their Liang family banquet.
Qin Mingyuan's eyes were heavy, and the aura he exuded was like ice in winter, cold and piercing. "I want to sue Yun Yuexian for attempted murder."
If he had gone a little later today, Yun Pei might have been in trouble. Even if he saved his life, given his physical condition, he might have suffered irreversible damage. He would not let him go.
Before, Yun Pei always told him not to rush and to take it slow, so he listened to him and also let the young man see those people struggling to add some variety to his life. But now, he just wanted to press them to death in the mud immediately.
Gao Qing was not surprised by his answer. She just looked at the young man sitting on the bed and saw that he had no intention of objecting. She smiled and said, "I understand."
When she dealt with the Yun family before, the most she could do was to make them lose everything they had and become ordinary people with poverty. No matter how much more, she could not commit a crime.
But now, the other party has dug a big hole for himself.
They didn't talk much more. The servant knocked on the door outside and said that Mr. Yun had been waiting to see Mr. Gao.
Perhaps Yun Haowei still doesn't know what disaster his precious son has caused him. Gao Qing sneered, "Let him wait for now."
After hearing the servant's yes, she asked again, "Where's the young master?"
The banquet was over. She was in a hurry to come up and talk, so she didn't pay attention to the other person.
The servant outside the door paused for a few seconds before he said, "The young master just went to look for that young master Yun."
Gao Qing's face turned cold. She didn't ask any more questions and turned around and asked, "Do you two want to talk to them?"
Qin Mingyuan took Yun Pei's hand and gently rubbed the ring on his index finger, without saying whether he would see him or not. "Mr. Gao, please go first. I will accompany him to rest for a while."
Hearing this, Gao Qing said nothing more. She stood up, straightened her skirt, turned around and left the room. It was such a pity that the mouse, which she had a rare chance to tease, was about to be played to death. The corners of her mouth curved up.
