Destined with You

“No…I don’t want to go to the hospital,” Gu Qingxin grabbed his shirt, pleading.

“You’re injured!” Ming Shang continued walking, explaining to her.

“I know my injuries, I don’t need a hospital!” she retorted.

“…” Ming Shang paused, frowning at her, failing to comprehend her reluctance to go to the hospital.

“Find an empty room, then buy some medicine, and two boiled eggs. Check out my head first, see how bad it looks.” she instructed.

Xiao Zirui ran after them and was met with a fierce glare from Ming Shang. “Find an empty room, a quiet one!”

“Follow me.” Xiao Zirui quickly lead them to a high-end rest lounge.

Ming Shang placed Gu Qingxin on the bed, checking the back of her head, he moved away her hair and said, “No bleeding, but it’s red… and a huge bump!”

“We should take you to the hospital,” Xiao Zirui voiced his concerns.

“If it’s not bleeding, it’s fine!” Gu Qingxin agonizingly held her head, it was still somewhat dizzy.

Noticing her wet clothes sticking to her body, partly translucent, revealing her underwear, Ming Shang frowned unhappily, “Both of you, out! Can’t you see her clothes are soaked through!”

Xiao Zirui, “…”

“You should also leave!” Gu Qingxin lifted her head to say.

Ming Shang, “…”

“Ahem… I’ll get my assistant in then.” Ming Shang’s handsome face flashed a hint of embarrassment, he lowered his head and walked out of the room with Xiao Zirui.

Ming Shang’s female assistant came in along with the female staff member who accompanied Gu Qingxin for her shower earlier, who was continuously apologizing.

Gu Qingxin wasn’t sure if Manager Yang’s incident had anything to do with her, she asked them to leave first. She quickly washed up and changed into fresh clothes.

As Ming Shang entered the room, Gu Qingxin was drying her hair. Holding the medicine in his hand, he said, “Put on the medicine first.”

“I can do it myself.” Gu Qingxin put down the towel and started to peel the eggs. Her main concern was whether her injuries would be discovered by Beiming Han.

If that was the case, he definitely wouldn’t let her shoot this advertisement anymore.

“Do we need to call the police?” Ming Shang asked while pulling up a chair to sit facing her.

“Not for now.” she responded.

Gu Qingxin gently rolled the peeled egg on her swollen cheek, then applied a cold compress, repeating the process…

Ming Shang’s expression darkened, assuming that she was scared of offending the factory owner and didn’t dare call the police. He felt incredibly uneasy, he wouldn’t let the man surnamed Yang off!

Half an hour later, Gu Qingxin looked at her face in the mirror. Thankfully, the swelling had fully subsided but there were two faint finger marks still visible.

The spend marks on her neck were also noticeable…

She definitely couldn’t shoot the advertisement under these conditions, her injuries would stand out under the camera lens. They would have to wait for the next shoot, fortunately there was plenty of time yet.

Before leaving, Gu Qingxin had the makeup artist apply heavier makeup to cover the finger marks on her face. Concealer was also applied to her neck…

In the elevator, Ming Shang looked at the girl beside him, asking, “Do you need me to drive you home?”

“No need, thank you for saving me today.” Gu Qingxin politely thanked him.

“…”

Suddenly her arm was caught, Gu Qingxin was pulled closer by Ming Shang, she looked at him, a little surprised. Ming Shang took a deep breath and said, “We are, at least, comrades in a life and death situation, right? Do you really need to keep your distance from me like this?”
