Chapter 236 - 222 Moving the Lady Out
Gu Qili held one foot up high, her hands propped against the sofa, her gaze fixed unblinkingly on Mu Shuoqian’s back, with a smile growing in her eyes.
After finding a band-aid in the drawer, he squatted in front of her again, and with nimble fingers, he tore off the outer protective film. With one hand he straightened her little foot and with the other, he deftly smoothed the band-aid carefully, his movements so gentle that they wouldn’t touch the wound on the foot.
A man who is ordinarily as grand as a prince now kneeling before her to apply a band-aid, the poise and grace he usually carries seem to have all faded away at this moment, leaving only deep affection that warms the heart.
"There, don’t wear these shoes again," Mu Shuoqian said, picking up the pair of shoes and throwing them into the trash can.
Gu Qili exclaimed in distress: "Ah, but they’re new."
"Shoes that don’t fit should be thrown away." He stood up, poured a glass of water, and put it into her hand, "Tell me right away if you encounter this kind of situation next time."
He had indeed been negligent today for not noticing that her shoes were ill-fitting; otherwise, he would not have let her busy herself running around.
"Mhm," Gu Qili obediently nodded. She had kept a very good facade at the noodle shop, so it was no wonder Mu Shuoqian hadn’t noticed.
"By the way, why did you call me here?" Gu Qili took a sip of water while holding the cup.
He sat next to her, looking at a document in his hand, and said lightly, "Nothing important."
Gu Qili pouted, thinking that if it was nothing important then why call her over when she still had so much work to do.
However, she didn’t rush to leave but instead leaned her head against his shoulder and closed her eyes to rest. She knew, after all, that he just wanted her company.
