Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 176 A Verified Scumbag

After settling Xiao Qingqing into his car, Lu Jinye set off towards her home.

Amid drunken stupor, Xiao Qingqing cast her groggy eyes out the car window. When the scenery outside became increasingly familiar, she uttered an exasperated snort, “Why are you in such a hurry to send me home? I don’t want to go home.”

Lu Jinye glanced at her and kept driving without saying a word.

Xiao Qingqing slumped against the side of the car, appearing to be heavily drunk but she was running her gaze around Lu Jinye.

Lu Jinye came to a halt at the entrance of her suburb. Without turning off the engine, he stepped off the car and headed into a 24-hour drugstore. Not long after, he left with a bag of medicine, hopped back into the car, and made headway into the suburb.

He opened the car door and reached in to help Xiao Qingqing off the car. However, she had barely taken two steps when she turned back with a scowl, hummed in discomfort, “Ouch.”

Lu Jinye stared at her with furrowed brows. Upon twitching his scrunched forehead, he decided to walk towards Xiao Qingqing, bent forward, and lifted her off the ground once again.

He brought Xiao Qingqing into the elevator in his arms, then carried her into her house.

He placed her on the couch and handed a bottle of disinfectant as well as a band-aid to her, gesturing for her to dress the wounds on her feet.

Xiao Qingqing raised her dazed eyes. Despite her drunken stupor, she managed to grab the bottle of disinfectant.

She was barely conscious enough to dress her wounds but coerced herself to do it anyway.

Lu Jinye was about to leave. But he turned back to look at Xiao Qingqing, he could see her squinting her eyes to see what was before her. Under the influence of alcohol, her body was continuously swirling around. In several attempts to apply the disinfectant, she would miss every time.

That was also the case with the band-aid.

Lu Jinye felt a twinge of remorse. He slowly moved towards Xiao Qingqing, bent forward, and started meticulously applying disinfectants for her with a frown.

Xiao Qingqing’s eyes were glittering under the dim lights as she stared at Lu Jinye fixedly.
