Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing - Chapter 376
Chapter 376: A Strategy to Lure Them Out (2)
She looked up and saw Di An standing helplessly in the middle of the bathroom. He was wearing a pair of white boxers and was wrapped in gauze. He looked a little hideous, and it was only then that Gu Xin remembered that Di An had just been in a car accident, and he could not see anything.
She was probably so focused on exploring the room that she did not notice that she had been standing at the bathroom door for a while.
There was a rare sheen of sweat on his calm face as if he was trying his best to suppress it and get used to it.
His hand was carefully searching the basin.
His movements were light, probably because he was afraid of breaking something.
His hand went to his mouthwash, and he found an unopened toothbrush.
It took a while to rip open the wrapping paper. Then, Di An found some toothpaste. He squeezed it onto the toothbrush with difficulty and then grabbed his mouthwash cup. He fumbled with the tap and fetched water. It came in all directions, but fortunately, he picked it up. He bent over and started brushing his teeth.
It was done very carefully.
Gu Xin was silent as she turned around to leave.
She felt that Di An could still take care of himself slowly, and it would not be too difficult for him.
She saw Di An put down his mouthwash to look for a towel.
There were glass shards not far away from his feet. Di An probably could not remember where they were.
He strode over.
Gu Xin grabbed his arm.
Di An was shocked that someone had suddenly approached him, and he instinctively shuddered. “Gu Xin?”
“Mm-hm,” Gu Xin answered.
She was the one who made him blind, so she did not think that she was being nice. Instead, she felt guilty.
“You want a towel, right?”
“Yes, thank you.” Di An was a little stunned and slowly nodded in thanks.
The two of them were actually too polite.
Gu Xin handed him the towel and then held his hand to feel the tap.
Di An received the towel and wrung it before washing his face.
Gu Xin squatted on the ground and picked up the pieces in the bathroom.
She looked at the glass shards on the ground and felt uncomfortable for some reason. She did not know if she was feeling so terrible because of the unhappy wedding today or because she saw how helpless Di An was. Her eyes turned red, and she squatted on the ground, feeling uncomfortable.
“Gu Xin, are you picking up glass shards?” Di An asked her.
“Mm-hm,” Gu Xin answered in her usual tone.
“Don’t pick them up. I’ll get the servants to handle them tomorrow,” Di An said.
Gu Xin bit her lip to calm herself down. “It’s not for you. I just don’t want anything to happen to you, and for everyone to blame it on me.”
Di An pursed his lips.
Gu Xin placed the pieces in the rubbish bin.
Di An had already washed up.
Gu Xin saw that he was a little stunned and went to help him up. Their skin was touching, but there was no warmth in the atmosphere of a man and a woman alone, much less a passionate one. It was as if their hearts were getting colder and colder.
“What else do you want?” Gu Xin sounded impatient.
“I want to go to the toilet,” Di An said, his face slightly red.
Gu Xin was silent for a second.
In silence, she brought him to the toilet, undid the lid, and turned her back to him.
Di An was actually not used to it. He could sense that Gu Xin was standing behind him and had not left the bathroom.
