Chapter 1698  : Where On Earth Are You Touching?! (8)

Qiao Yiyi was stunned by what he was doing.

Unconsciously, she lifted her bathrobe. She was about to move when he pressed his large and warm hand against the cool skin of her shoulders.

The clash of the heat and coolness caused Qiao Yiyi to stiffen. She turned reflexively and said, “What are you doing?”

The man glanced at her, his expression full of sarcasm. “Why? What did you think I was going to do?”

Qiao Yiyi did not answer. Lu Nanze burst into laughter and said, “First, I’m no good at first aid. Your wound is so large, how am I going to help you if you keep trying to cover yourself?”

She frowned.

That was a fair comment.

But being in front of a man like this was rather embarrassing.

Qiao Yiyi bit her lip and did not utter a word, but turned her head to the side.

After this, she could only feel that hand on her wound.

Intense pain came suddenly, so she instantaneously stiffened.

Antiseptic was applied. He cut open the wound further with a knife and then removed the bullet with forceps.

This process took in total twenty minutes.

Qiao Yiyi had turned pale with pain and beads of perspiration had formed on her forehead. She clenched her fist tightly and kept her eyes shut without making a noise.

Lu Nanze had been fully focused when tending to the wound, hence he only saw her expression after he had dressed her wound.

He was attracted to the sharpness and resilience that she bore in her expression.

He recalled the moment he had removed the bullet… not even a fully grown man would have been able to endure it.

But this woman, she had actually taken it all in her stride without uttering a sound.

His admiration for Traceless grew.

Furthermore oddly, Traceless, stark naked and in her silver mask, had a forbidden sort of beauty. He was tempted to remove her mask and uncover her face.

As soon as this idea came into his head, Lu Nanze gave a derisive smile.

What was wrong with him?

Just a moment ago, he had had no desire to see her face but now he was curious.

He shook his head and retreated a few steps.

He noted that although she looked scrawny and lighter than most people, her body was well proportioned. It wasn’t as though she resembled a starving African, she just had an exceptionally skinny frame.

A woman like this, was she an adult?

As soon as this thought struck him, he was compelled to ask, “How old are you?”

How old?

When Qiao Yiyi heard this, she widened her eyes. They flashed sharply.

Was he insulting her flat chest again?

She looked at him and smiled icily. “Mr. Lu, I don’t think it’s nice to be so focused on other people’s chests?”

Lu Nanze: …

He had only been thinking that this girl didn’t look very old, and that was why he had asked. What was she thinking?

The next moment, she got on her feet and slowly put the rob back on herself. With a calm expression, she said, “Alright, so you’ve rescued me and tended to my wound. Now tell me, is there anything you’d like me to do?”

She said this in a very business-like manner.

Lu Nanze suddenly felt stupid when he noticed that she was distancing herself.

He became serious too and sat down opposite her. Looking at her, he said, “Don’t you think you should reward me for having rescued you?”
