Chapter 13: Crying Children Get Candy

Take it, take it. She wouldn’t open the door for him!

She took out her noise-canceling headphones from her bag, chose a song, and turned the volume up to the maximum, blocking out all the sounds from outside.

The rock music was lively, noisy, humming and hawing, clanging and banging. Sang Tian lay on the bed with her eyes closed, she couldn’t help but sway her head.

Her cascading black hair spread out on the bed, covering most of her face, her curvaceous body was covered by the white duvet, only her slender arms were exposed.

Besides the music, she couldn’t hear anything.

She had to say, she had bought the noise-canceling headphones well!

Suddenly, her shoulder was pressed down hard, rough fingers went through her hair and slid to her ear, the headphones were pulled off.

Sang Tian only heard a snap, the sound of the headphones breaking.

She opened her eyes abruptly and saw Bo Si’s gloomy face, very close, only a hand’s distance away.

She only needed to get up and she would bump into his head.

His exquisitely sculpted face was magnified in front of her eyes, it was the image she had traced countless times in the air, etched into her DNA.

He was staring at her, his long, deep eyes were like black holes, just looking at them would swallow her whole.

Her heart skipped a beat, she quickly looked away.

“Can you sleep?” His hot, heavy breath sprayed on her cheek, causing a tingling sensation. Sang Tian pursed her lips, trying to suppress the palpitations he caused.

She turned over, avoiding him, “Uncle, are you here to deal with me? Then go ahead! Do you want me to kneel in the ancestral hall or get caned, I don’t care.”

When she was a child, whenever she did something wrong, even if it wasn’t her fault, Old Madam Bo would punish her by making her kneel in the ancestral hall.

She was surnamed Sang, she couldn’t enter the ancestral hall, so Old Madam Bo made her kneel on the stone path outside the ancestral hall, for a whole day.

Later, Bo Si became the head of the Bo family, and she never knelt again.

“Are you willing to be punished by the family law rather than apologize?”

He was here to make her apologize again, it was so late, and he still wouldn’t give up!

“Yes!” Sang Tian’s tone was firm.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

She thought Bo Si would fly into a rage, but unexpectedly, the air suddenly became quiet, Bo Si didn’t move at all.

She was lying on her side and couldn’t see his face clearly, she only felt him sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at her motionless, as if he wanted to stare a hole through her.

The longer it went on, the more uncertain Sang Tian became about Bo Si’s attitude, she started to feel uneasy.

In just a few minutes, she had thought through the worst possible outcome. It would be no different from how he dealt with those who opposed him, using coercion and force.

If he threatened her with her grandmother like Old Madam Bo, she would have no choice but to apologize to Jiang Wantang.

Thinking of this, her eyes started to get hot.

Suddenly, a big hand went through her neck, her body felt light, and she was lifted up.

Realizing Bo Si’s intentions, she struggled.

But the difference in strength between men and women was huge, no matter how hard she struggled, she was still held in the man’s arms, along with the duvet.

“Don’t you want your hand anymore?!” The hand that was hitting his chest hard was grabbed by Bo Si, it was still wrapped in white bandages, the palm was stained pink.

Bo Si looked at the messy bandages and frowned, “Didn’t go to the hospital?”

Sang Tian’s hand broke free from his restraint, she lowered her eyelashes and didn’t answer.

“Why didn’t you go to the hospital?”

“I’m not that delicate!”

Bo Si didn’t miss the disdain on her face and the defiance in her tone, he snorted, “Haven’t you heard that crying children get candy?”

Sang Tian looked up at him, “Will you stop forcing me to apologize to Jiang Wantang if I cry?”

Bo Si paused for a second, “You can try!”

She wouldn’t try!

Tears were the most useless thing!

Tears could evoke sympathy, once or twice was fine, but too many would only make people bored, disgusted! They would become cheap!

She wouldn’t throw her pearls around carelessly!

“Forget it, Uncle, do whatever you want to punish me.” Sang Tian was stubborn, she wouldn’t bow her head for a second.

She thought he would scold her, but unexpectedly, he only said softly, “Does your hand still hurt?”

His big hand held her injured hand, his other hand rubbed her palm through the gauze.

The man’s voice was gentle, his expression was tender, completely different from his usual cold and aloof demeanor.

Sang Tian’s heart softened, her whole body softened, she didn’t say anything in his arms.

His kiss landed on her forehead, warm and lingering.

She could feel that he was genuinely concerned.

“Should I call the doctor to re-bandage you?”

Bo Si released his arms around her and reached for his phone, but Sang Tian pressed his hand down, “Xiao Xiao already bandaged it for me, no need to call the doctor.”

“Then re-bandage it again when you change the dressing tomorrow?”

“Mm.”

“Be careful when you drive in the future, don’t drive when you’re in a bad mood, I’ll assign a driver to you.”

His kiss landed on the wound at her hairline, through her hair, it was a different kind of tingling.

A cool sensation came from the wound, the man’s fingers gently rubbed it.

Sang Tian was startled, she didn’t know when Bo Si had gotten a tube of ointment in his hand, he was applying it to her.

“This is scar removal cream, apply it well, girls won’t look pretty with scars.”

Her heart warmed again.

But then she thought, she was in the hospital, no one asked about her, but he was guarding and taking care of Jiang Wantang at her bedside.

It was already scabbing over, was it too late to care about whether she would have a scar now?

The image of him rushing to carry Jiang Wantang away suddenly appeared in her mind. In places she couldn’t see, was he also holding Jiang Wantang, being gentle and tender, whispering softly to her?

The warm embrace turned into a scorching cage, making Sang Tian extremely uncomfortable.

She tried to break free, but Bo Si held her tighter.

“Don’t move.”

Sang Tian didn’t move, she knew it was useless for her to move if he didn’t let go.

When he finished applying it, she said coldly, “Can you let me go now?”

Bo Si felt the change in the person in his arms. She had been fine just now, what was wrong now?

“What are you throwing a tantrum about again?”

“I’m not throwing a tantrum, I just suddenly remembered that we’ve broken up, it’s not good to be like this anymore. You should go back and accompany your fiancée.”

He suddenly remembered what Old Madam Bo had told him, she was asking about when Bo Qi was coming back.

“You were asking about when Bo Qi is coming back?” The man’s aura became cold, “Why didn’t you come and ask me?”

“Would you tell me if I asked?” Sang Tian blurted out unconsciously, her tone a little annoyed.

“Do you miss him coming back?”

Sang Tian didn’t know how the topic turned to Bo Qi. She got up from Bo Si and sat on the sofa opposite him, keeping her distance.

The duvet on her body fell off, leaving only her cotton pajamas.

She always liked to wear pajamas and sleep pants, they covered her well, it was just that the two mounds on her chest made her a little uncomfortable.

She crossed her arms, covering the awkwardness, and brought the topic back, “I’m not going to apologize, Uncle, just tell me how you want to punish me. If you don’t punish me, then leave! It’s not good for a man and a woman to be alone in a room late at night, it’s not a good look.”

“Not a good look? Do we need to explain our relationship to anyone?”

“Are you going to punish me or not? If you’re not, then leave!”

Bo Si snorted coldly, “Wantang is magnanimous, she doesn’t want to hold a grudge against you. I’ll let you off this time! Don’t do it again!”

So that’s it, she thought he had feelings for her and couldn’t bear to punish her. It seemed she was being sentimental!

Between her and Jiang Wantang, he would always choose Jiang Wantang.

“Then leave quickly! I’m going to sleep!”
