The Scumbag Alpha's Redemption in a Sweet Romance - Chapter 11
Chapter 11
“I’ll handle the front myself. You just take care of my back.” Ning Chun wanted to cover up as much as possible. She didn’t have a penchant for exposure and just wanted to get this over with quickly.
The bathrobe slid from her shoulder, revealing a fair and smooth back. Yan Hua had to admit that Ning Chun’s skin was great. It looked even more striking against the small patches of purple and blue.
Yan Hua’s cool fingertips ran over the bruises, and her voice trembled slightly. “So many. Did you get into a fight to the death?”
It wasn’t a fight to the death. Ning Chun said nonchalantly, “This is nothing. It’s just a minor injury. If the other person hadn’t ambushed me with a rock, I wouldn’t have even gotten these injuries.”
Yan Hua’s finger pressed harder on the bruised area. Ning Chun immediately hissed in pain. “What are you doing?” Was she using putting on medicine to torture her?
Yan Hua applied the ointment while sounding annoyed. “Wasn’t it just a minor injury? Why are you shouting so loud?”
Ning Chun thought she was being scornful of her. After all, she and Yan Hua only had a superficial truce.
“The housekeeper asked you to put the medicine on me, didn’t she? She’s just a worrywart,” Ning Chun said, grabbing the towel in front of her chest and turning her head to Yan Hua. “You don’t have to listen to her in the future, and you don’t have to do things that make you feel awkward.”
Yan Hua sat up. Her clear eyes stared at the side of Ning Chun’s face. That mouth, which was opening and closing, was so annoying at that moment.
The first-aid kit was placed next to Ning Chun, and Yan Hua had to lean to the side to reach it. Just like that, a soft, voluptuous body was pressed against Ning Chun.
In that instant, Ning Chun’s entire back went rigid. She even forgot what she was going to say and just sat there, obediently, without a word. Ning Chun felt that at a time like this, it was better to pretend that nothing had happened.
But how could she be so soft? Like watery tofu. Ning Chun wasn’t surprised because she was like that herself. She was always more focused on her own strength. Her arms were toned and powerful. She wasn’t naturally talented as a forward and never really cared. She would only occasionally check to see if her abs were visible.
This unintentional touch made Ning Chun curious about Yan Hua’s body. People are always curious, and they tend to be more curious about things they don’t have.
“Why are you so stiff?” Soft fingertips climbed up Ning Chun’s shoulder and gently pushed her back a little so that Yan Hua could apply medicine to her arm. Ning Chun’s mind was in a mess, and her body was so stiff that she didn’t dare to move. It wasn’t long before she started to feel uncomfortable.
It wasn’t until the bottle of medicine was dropped into the box with a thud that she thought it was finally over. Her body relaxed, and she was about to get up. But she was sitting on the bed, so it was hard for her to move forward. She could only lean back. It was this backward motion that brought Ning Chun’s right shoulder to Yan Hua’s lips. A warm kiss followed. It was so soft, so soft that Ning Chun’s brain froze.
Light, shallow breaths were on the back of her neck. Because of the medicine, all of Ning Chun’s hair had been placed in front of her chest, and her most vulnerable gland on the back of her neck was exposed. Yan Hua seemed to smell a faint scent of wood, which was Ning Chun’s pheromone.
Unfortunately, Ning Chun had a big reaction. She immediately jumped off the bed. Without waiting for Yan Hua to speak, she explained on her own, “It was an accident! I didn’t do it on purpose!” She stood by the bed, one hand still tightly holding the towel at her chest. Her shoulder was exposed, revealing her beautiful shoulder and neck lines. Her collarbone was prominent, and her chest was slightly rising and falling with her breaths. Her shape was prominent, but not superior.
Yan Hua was pleased with what she saw, but she didn’t understand why Ning Chun was so bothered by her touch these past few days, as if she was intentionally trying to set boundaries. Had she forgotten that she was the one who had insisted on this in the first place?
“But I think you did it on purpose,” Yan Hua pretended to be angry and packed up the things she had used.
Ning Chun guessed this would happen. She lowered her head and admitted her mistake. “Then what should I do to make you not angry anymore?”
Seeing her being serious, Yan Hua pulled back the covers and patted the soft bed. “Here. You’ll sleep here tonight.” Things seemed to be heading in a strange direction.
Ning Chun wrapped herself in her pajamas, tied the belt tightly around her waist, and rubbed her ear. “Isn’t that a little inappropriate?” After all, A’s and O’s are different.
“You have injuries on you. I can’t possibly let you sleep on the sofa. Besides, this bed is huge. It can fit three more people.”
That’s true. And so, Ning Chun lay on the far left side of the bed, and Yan Hua slept on the right, not bothering each other.
Perhaps because she had been living too comfortably recently, she had become a little soft. Lying in bed, Ning Chun couldn’t help but sigh in her heart, “This is so comfortable, even more comfortable than the sofa.” She wanted to sleep in a bed from now on. She still had to finish her mission soon. Once she did, she could sleep however she wanted.
Ning Chun had used up a lot of her energy today. She fell into a deep sleep the moment her head hit the pillow, her breathing steady. She didn’t know that someone had quietly approached her after she fell asleep.
The moment her fingertips touched Ning Chun’s skin, Yan Hua couldn’t resist. She didn’t want to slowly and carefully apply the medicine to Ning Chun. Instead, she wanted to wrap her arms around her waist and hold her in her embrace. Just like now, Yan Hua lay next to her, admiring her features in the moonlight. Her arm was on her slender waist, and her calf was pressed against hers, half of her body resting on her shoulder.
At seven in the morning, Ning Chun was woken up by her phone alarm. She opened her eyes and took a moment to recover before remembering that she had to go to the company today and also keep an eye on the research lab. She got up to change her clothes, only to find that her left shoulder was strangely numb. It must have been because she rolled over and put pressure on it in her sleep. She didn’t think too much of it. She glanced at Yan Hua, who was still asleep, and quietly got ready to leave.
Going to the company, a formal occasion like this, she had to dress smartly. Ning Chun wore an office suit with a skirt that revealed her long legs. She was wearing 8cm black high heels with red soles, and she exuded an impressive aura when she walked.
Today, her driver was on duty and dropped her off at the company building. It seemed that the company was quite large. As soon as she entered the lobby, the receptionist greeted her enthusiastically, “Good morning, Ms. Ning!” Ning Chun gave a small nod in response.
This simple act made the receptionist ecstatic. In the past, Ms. Ning had never paid any attention to them, let alone responded. And today, Ms. Ning seemed even more charming than before.
Along the way, Ning Chun ran into many employees. They all greeted her proactively, and some even eagerly pressed the elevator button for her. Ning Chun now had a pretty good idea of her position in the company. On the surface, she was respected, but in reality, she was a naive rich kid with no credibility, a pretty face, and a penchant for spending money wastefully.
This was because in the short few minutes the elevator took to go up to the 18th floor, two people kept talking to her about wanting to have dinner with her that night. It was obvious they wanted her to pay the bill. To this, Ning Chun replied, “You guys go ahead. My wife at home is very strict. I have a curfew.”
When she said that, the two employees were stunned. They had no idea that Ms. Ning had gotten married after being away from the company for just a few days.
Ning Chun walked out of the elevator in her heels and went straight to the office with the large floor-to-ceiling windows. She suddenly felt that she should buy a pair of rings so she could show her married status and ward off those disgusting advances.
