Chapter 1770 - It Is Hard to Speak of One’s Troubles (10)

After saying that, Li Tingting got to her feet and looked at Qiao Yiyi, telling the girl, “Hey you, go get some water.”

Qiao Yiyi: ...

Qiao Yiyi turned to stare at Lu Nanze.

He was lying back peacefully, as though he had accepted Li Tingting’s suggestion.

Qiao Yiyi suddenly felt an odd surge of inexplicable jealousy.

The bastard. He had obviously been flirting with her when they were at the foot of the cliff. But now?

He was allowing some other woman to wipe his body?

This was simply... inconceivable.

Qiao Yiyi snorted coldly.

She turned and went to fill a basin with water. Then she brought the basin to Li Tingting.

She stood on the side, cursing in silence. The bastard.

–

In fact, Lu Nanze had not actually heard what Li Tingting had said. His mind was filled with questions around Qiao Lian and how she was doing.

In the process, he also realized that the mention and the thought of Qiao Lian was no longer as painful for him as it had once been. In fact, he was quite glad to know she was doing well.

Perhaps some feelings would never disappear, but merely fade or gradually turn into something different with time.

Hence now, he no longer had that deep obsession over Qiao Lian.

On the contrary, his vision was filled with images of a masked face.

The corners of his mouth would inevitably curve into an unconscious smile whenever he thought of Traceless.

That stubborn and cranky girl. He wondered if there was a way to tame her.

But when Qiao Yiyi spotted that smile on his face, she got even more furious.

He was smiling because Li Tingting was about to clean his body.

The pervert.

Qiao Yiyi was on the verge of exploding yet she still had to look timid.

At the same time, she was feeling terribly jealous.

Go ahead if you want to let another woman wipe your body!

In any case, she would never do it.

She snorted indignantly and stood aside, refusing to say a thing.

Li Tingting took the towel, wetted it and walked to Lu Nanze’s bedside. Just as she was about to start wiping him down, Lu Qingtian suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Li Tingting was taken aback as Lu Qingtian smiled frostily at her and spoke,”Tingting, you’re a big girl now. There has to be an appropriate distance between you and your Second Brother, isn’t it so? Besides, wiping his body is a tiring and dirty job, it’s not suitable for a precious lady.”

She took the towel from Li Tingting, shoved it towards Qiao Yiyi and said, “Yiyi, don’t just stand there frozen like a fool. Can’t you see that Nanze doesn’t like being dirty? He can’t move now, and you are in a way the cause for all this. It’s your job to take good care of him!”

Although she had used a reprimanding tone, she quickly grabbed Qiao Yiyi and, without saying another word, shoved her right in front of the man.

Li Tingting: ...

Qiao Yiyi: ...

Qiao Yiyi looked at the towel in her hand and then at Lu Nanze, who was still grinning like a fool. At once, she choked with rage.

Damn it!

She, Traceless, had been a proud woman all her life. Why should she be wiping a man’s body?!

She turned around and looked at Lu Qingtian. “Auntie, I—”

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Qingtian interrupted her, “What now? Don’t tell me you don’t know how to do it! And even if you don’t, you have to learn. There will be many more occasions where you’ll need to look after him! I suggest you start by carefully removing his clothes.”
