Oh no! Drunk last night, I accidentally wandered into my ex-boyfriend's room.

Everyone present was shrewd; upon hearing these words, they instantly understood what was going on.

"No way, deliberately falling down to frame someone? That's an old trick from years ago."

"So she's a pure and innocent girl after all. She even tried to cultivate a virtuous and kind socialite persona..."

"Luckily, there's video evidence; otherwise, we would have been falsely accused for no reason."

"I've disliked Xia Tingshi for a long time; she always puts on an innocent act."

"Where are those people who said they saw others pushing Xia Tingshi? Why are they all silent? Do they just not like to talk?"

Xia Tingshi values ​​her reputation above all else. She has always been pampered since childhood, so how could she tolerate being pointed at and gossiped about by those around her?

Her face burned, as if she had been stripped naked in public, and she couldn't lift her head at all.

Lu Beiting spoke impatiently, "Are you mute?"

The manager firmly stood by Lu Beiting's side and whispered his advice:

"Miss Xia, you misunderstood others first. It's just an apology, nothing more..."

"Yeah, it was just an apology, we didn't make her kneel down," someone nearby chimed in.

Xia Tingshi blushed and bowed deeply to Lin Qian: "I'm sorry, Miss Lin, today... today... I misunderstood you."

After saying that, she didn't dare to look at the strange looks from others and followed Xia Jichuan away in a disheveled state.

The farce has finally come to an end.

After the crowd dispersed.

Lin Qian stood quietly in place, looking at the figure placed in front of her.

Lu Beiting was very tall, 189 cm, upright and slender.

His broad shoulders were like a sturdy barrier, shielding her from any storms and providing a strong sense of security.

Lin Qian silently tightened her grip on her skirt, a stinging sensation rising in her nose and welling up in her eyes.

So this is what it feels like to have someone back you up... It makes me want to cry.

Lu Beiting turned around and saw Lin Qian's eyes glistening with a few drops of water, though it wasn't very obvious.

His voice softened, "What's wrong?"

"Lu Beiting, what if there's no video?"

Lin Qian looked up at her and repeated earnestly, "If that video hadn't been the evidence, would you still have chosen to stand by my side?"

Lu Beiting was slightly taken aback. Then, he bent down, closing the distance between himself and her, and his gaze slowly met her beautiful eyes.

Lu Beiting curled his lips into a smile. "Lin Qian, are you stupid?"

"I've come here to support you."

But she seemed unable to believe that he would choose to protect her unconditionally.

-

Lin Qian was pulled into the car by Lu Beiting.

The back seat of the Maybach was illuminated by a cool-toned light that dimly enveloped the two people.

Before anyone could react, Lu Beiting grabbed her calf and placed it on his thigh.

"You cut your leg and didn't even know it?"

Lin Qian then looked down.

On her originally fair and smooth calf skin, there was a faint scratch, quite long, with a few drops of blood seeping out, and a pinkish tinge around it.

It's probably because Xia Tingshi accidentally cut herself when the glass shards flew out after she knocked over the champagne tower.

At that time, Lin Qian wouldn't have cared about that.

In fact, you wouldn't notice it at all if you didn't look closely.

Before she could speak, Lu Beiting ordered the driver, "Bring the first-aid kit."

Assistant Gao responded and quickly brought over a medicine box, then very tactfully raised the partition.

The night outside the window is thick with darkness, with only a hazy layer of moonlight.

Through the car window, the light shone on the man's cold and handsome face, highlighting his well-defined features and giving him a refined and aloof air.

Lin Qian's heart skipped a beat.

She turned her head away uncomfortably and slowly withdrew her leg. "I'll handle it myself."

"Don't move." Lu Beiting's voice was slightly cold.

He gripped Lin Qian's calf tightly, and with his other hand, he picked up a cotton swab and applied alcohol evenly to the wound for disinfection.

Lin Qian's legs were long and slender, as white as snow, with skin like solidified cream, and perfectly proportioned without a trace of excess fat.

These legs could give him a tingling sensation in the middle of the night, even stealing his soul.

Lu Beiting felt a slight itch deep in his throat.

With one hand, he could completely encircle her ankle, rendering her unable to move.

The man's eyes gradually deepened, and he unconsciously increased the pressure.

Lin Qian's calves trembled, and a broken moan escaped her lips:

"It hurts, please, be gentle..."

Lu Beiting: "Now you know what pain is?"

After disinfecting, he took back the cotton swabs and unscrewed an expensive imported ointment.

This brand of ointment is very effective for cuts, but the only downside is that it causes a burning pain when first applied, like being on fire.

Lu Beiting pinched Lin Qian's calf and evenly applied the ointment to the wound, the ointment melting little by little with the warmth of his fingers.

Lin Qian was stimulated by the burning effects of the medicine, her breathing became rapid, and her chest heaved continuously.

The surrounding air seemed to become dry, ready to ignite at any moment.

Lu Beiting's gaze lingered on her trembling calves. "Does it hurt a lot?"

The woman's eyes were shimmering with a layer of water, hazy and indistinct, as if the clean snow had melted away.

"...A little, but I can bear it." Lin Qian bit her lip tightly, trying to hold on.

"Hmm," Lu Beiting swallowed hard, his voice gradually becoming hoarse, "just bear with it a little longer and it will feel better."

"good……"

Lu Beiting closed the medicine box, still holding Lin Qian's calves.

This pose... isn't that beautiful.

Lin Qian was about to pull her leg back.

Lu Beiting, however, held her ankle firmly, giving her no room to back down.

"Looks like I'll have to keep you with me from now on, so no one will bother you again."

Lin Qian: "I'm not an accessory, how can I be attached to you forever?"

Lu Beiting lowered his voice, "You can hang your legs on me, like a koala hug."

"!!!"

Lin Qian recalled that strange scene, and she felt like she couldn't breathe; her ears instantly burned.

Lu Beiting stared at her reddened earlobes, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"It's not like we haven't tried it before, and you seemed to like it, didn't you? How about we try it again tonight?"

Lin Qian immediately retorted, "When did I say I liked you?"

"So what position do you like?"

Lin Qian gritted her teeth, "I don't like any of them."

Lu Beiting: "Okay, then let's try them all later."

"!!!"
