Chapter 493: Chapter 493: Who is More Extravagant in Their Affection (1)_1

Knowing that Xiao Ruiyuan would be coming over in the next two days, Mo Yan didn’t bother to close the doors to the courtyard or the parlor. With the Hidden Guard outside and three beasts inside, she wasn’t worried about anyone barging in.

When Xiao Ruiyuan arrived, he saw Mo Yan sitting at her desk, sketching and writing, beside which a thick stack of papers had already piled up.

Mo Yan was so engrossed in her drawing that she didn’t notice someone had appeared behind her.

Xiao Ruiyuan didn’t have the heart to interrupt the focused woman, so he silently stood by and waited. Though his expression remained cool and detached, his eyes were like a sunlit pool, deep and warm.

Little lamps were lit in the small study, brightening the modest room. The occasional crackling pop from the oil lamps made the room seem all the more cozy and peaceful.

After revising the final drawing, Mo Yan looked at the nearly perfect design and nodded her head in satisfaction. All these designs were related to the wine estate; she had crafted them based on the wine estate land’s specific terrain, ensuring to maximize use of the land and allow the wine estate, once built, to exhibit its most natural beauty.

Stretching her arms widely, Mo Yan eased her stiff neck and shoulders. That’s when her injured hand caught someone’s eye. Before she could retract it, her left wrist was enveloped in a hand that felt cool and warm at the same time.

"How could you be so careless?"

Mo Yan was startled, her hair standing on end. Before she could turn her head to see who the hand belonged to, a deep, displeased voice came from above her head:

As Xiao Ruiyuan beheld the white cloth wrapped around the woman’s hand, he found it exceedingly irritating, especially when he faintly smelled the scent of ointment. His expression grew increasingly darkened, "Is the injury severe?" How else would it be wrapped so tightly?

Contemplating this possibility made his brows furrow tightly, and without saying a word, he untied the knot at her wrist. His movements were swift and gentle as he unfolded the layers of white cloth.

Xiao Ruiyuan’s actions were so quick that Mo Yan, still basking in the joy of their reunion, had no time to react before the wound on her hand was exposed to the air.

The wound was already long and deep, and even though it had been washed with Spirit Spring Water and treated with ointment several times, it was still conspicuous. Mo Yan’s hand was white and tender, making the wound appear all the more gruesome by contrast. Xiao Ruiyuan glared darkly at it, his face becoming even uglier.

The temperature around them suddenly dropped, and Mo Yan felt a chill run through her, inexplicably feeling timid and hardly daring to look at the brooding face above her. When she realized how embarrassing her reaction was, she cursed herself: She hadn’t done anything wrong—it was for his sake that she had injured her hand. There was nothing to feel guilty or afraid about!

With that thought, however, Mo Yan didn’t have the courage to shout out those words. She looked up at the stern-faced Xiao Ruiyuan but couldn’t help feeling secretly delighted—this meant he cared about her... right?

At that notion, her heart fluttered with sweetness, and her clear eyes unintentionally filled with affection.

Xiao Ruiyuan, oblivious to a girl’s delicate thoughts, felt an indescribable impatience surge through him as his beloved stared directly at him. A hint of redness crept onto his handsome face.

He kept his face taut to hide the turmoil in his heart, and quickly drew out a bottle of premium healing medicine from his belt. Taking Mo Yan’s hand with utmost care, he gently spread the medicine over the back of hers, treating it as though he were not holding a hand that could be squeezed, but a fragile, precious piece of porcelain!

Mo Yan sat without moving, gazing intently as Xiao Ruiyuan applied the medicine to her, the tender touch on her hand sending a warm, tingling sensation straight to her heart.
