The girl who appeared easy to persuade was resolute this ti.
She walked straight up to him, placed the bag down, and pointed to the bed.
"Sit down. I’ll be right back."
"..."
Xu Nuo was speechless again, slightly bewildered.
Selena turned around, and before long, she returned with a basin of water. After putting it down, she directly reached out to unbutton Xu Nuo’s shirt.
Xu Nuo hurriedly raised his hand to stop her.
"Don’t be afraid. I’m better at handling these things than those people in white coats! It won’t hurt at all!"
Selena assured him, yet Xu Nuo’s resistance wasn’t for that reason.
While he was indeed injured, he hadn’t planned to trouble a young girl to treat his wounds.
But seeing the innocent and pure look in Selena’s eyes, he eventually loosened his grip.
Selena looked at Xu Nuo and smiled before swiftly taking off his shirt.
There were reddish marks on his chest, and knife wounds on his arm, though they weren’t too deep.
Selena picked up sterilized cotton swabs, lowered her head, and tenderly began to treat the wounds with ticulous care.
Xu Nuo watched her, her thick, feather-like eyelashes fluttering gently. Beneath them was a pair of strikingly beautiful, watery eyes; a straight, delicate nose; and tender, pink lips. These exquisite features ca together on her porcelain-like face, stunningly beautiful.
And she truly appeared so young. Her beauty was completely natural.
With a soft click, the power suddenly went out, plunging the entire room into darkness.
Selena paused her movents but quickly took out her phone and turned on the flashlight feature. She resud carefully treating and bandaging Xu Nuo’s wounds.
Perhaps it was the special stars and moon tonight, or maybe the mysterious atmosphere of the night was simply prone to enchant people.
Watching her earnest little face under the faint light, Xu Nuo’s heartbeat involuntarily quickened.
It seed as though just in that fleeting mont, a joyous feeling surfaced within him.
Looking at the focused but naïve young girl, bathed in the soft glow, there was an intoxicating charm that slowly drew Xu Nuo closer. His head tilted downward, leaning closer to Selena’s cheek...
One second, two seconds... his heartbeat grew increasingly erratic...
Two inches, one inch... her face ca nearer...
"Thunk!"
Just as Xu Nuo’s lips were re centiters from Selena’s cheek, the lighting in the entire building suddenly returned.
Xu Nuo froze.
Selena, however, seed completely unfazed, staying focused on bandaging the knife wound on his arm.
Xu Nuo discreetly sat upright, the rush of joy he had just felt vanishing silently into the stillness of the mont...
Night deepened.
Unable to sleep, Xu Nuo got up and walked into the living room, where he spotted Selena sitting cross-legged in the moonlight, her posture straight as an arrow.
There seed to be countless fascinating "treasures" within this girl.
He appeared to have developed an interest in uncovering those "treasures."

Di Jue Group.
18th floor.
Mo Chuxi’s desk was piled high with collaboration invitations from various well-known dostic brands.
All of them were eager for his Mrs. Mo to star in a series of mother-and-baby advertisents.
This was because news of Yan Xinxin’s pregnancy had already spread across the industry.
Yan Xinxin’s image was renowned—both her figure and face were exceptionally striking. As the ideal candidate for a mother-and-baby campaign, she was the only woman who could truly match Mo Chuxi in all aspects.
But now, this Young Master Mo was feeling quite conflicted.
He wanted to decline all these offers on Yan Xinxin’s behalf, but he also worried that doing so would upset his precious Mrs. Mo, particularly since the brands were clearly hoping to consult her opinion.
"Knock knock knock."
"President Mo."
Ah Ding’s voice disrupted Mo Chuxi’s dilemma.
The Young Master Mo, who had been fretting over his wife, instantly switched to his cool and detached CEO mode.
"Co in."
Ah Ding hurried inside, his expression serious.
"Young Master Mo, you need to see this! Can you even believe your eyes?"
