My Soft AI Boyfriend Turned into a Rough Man—and Kisses Me Until I Am Pregnant - Chapter 67
Xu Xiaoguai’s red-rimmed eyes widened as she was forced to arch her back.
The man’s kiss felt more like a punishment, his dark, profound eyes devoid of any trace of desire.
Neither of them had turned on the light when they entered the room, leaving the space shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to discern each other’s expressions.
Throughout the journey, Xu Xiaoguai hadn’t dared to meet Lu Wang’s gaze.
She didn’t know if he was angry with her.
Moreover, she was deeply puzzled, was it really Lu Wang who had done something to Xu Xi? Why had he never mentioned it to her?
Lu Wang released her after only a brief kiss.
He got up to turn on the light, intending to clarify a few things with this little one today. Besides, he still didn’t know why she had gone to the hospital.
The bedside lamp was within reach, and Lu Wang initially planned to switch it on directly. But he hesitated, worried that the sudden brightness might hurt her eyes.
His large hand covered Xu Xiaoguai’s eyes before he finally turned on the light.
Xu Xiaoguai let out a soft whimper, as if in pain.
Her face had been slapped earlier, and the pressure from his hand covering her eyes had inadvertently touched the sore spot, causing her to cry out.
As soon as the light came on, Lu Wang quickly withdrew his hand.
“Did I hurt you-”
Before he could finish his sentence, he noticed the red handprint on her cheek.
His expression instantly turned cold. “Who hit you?”
Lu Wang lifted Xu Xiaoguai with one hand, his heart clenching at the sight of her flushed face.
She was so small and fragile, already sensitive to pain. She had been unhappy earlier from the discomfort in bed, let alone being struck across the face!
He had only been gone for a short while, and this had happened.
His eyes brimmed with heartache.
Gradually, Xu Xiaoguai’s lips trembled, and the grievances she had been suppressing finally overflowed. Without a word, she buried herself in Lu Wang’s embrace, her body trembling as she sobbed.
She had thought he was angry with her.
After being hit by her father and now comforted by Lu Wang, her pent-up emotions surged uncontrollably.
Lu Wang gently stroked her back until her tears subsided. Then, like a child admitting a mistake, she finally told him what had happened that day.
Biting her lower lip, her gaze drifting nervously, she murmured, “When… when you were angry earlier, I didn’t sleep.”
She spoke with guilt, licking her lips and keeping her head pressed against Lu Wang’s chest, as if to hide her shame.
“After you left… I took my phone, and then…” Her eyes grew even more despondent. “My mom called and asked me to go to the hospital to take care of my brother.”
Lu Wang’s hand, which had been stroking her back, stilled. He couldn’t help but ask, “And then?”
So that was why she had gone to the hospital alone, it was all because of Xu Xi.
“Then… then I went.” Xu Xiaoguai recalled the moment her father had struck her and nestled even deeper into Lu Wang’s embrace. “Xu Xi said a tall man in a suit had beaten him up. Dad has seen you before and thought I had sent you to hurt him. He forbade me from going to class and ordered me to take care of my brother instead. That’s when he hit me.”
“I was afraid they wouldn’t let me leave, so I ran away on my own.”
After finishing, she glanced up furtively at Lu Wang, trying to gauge his reaction.
The man hadn’t expected that even after cutting the surveillance, Little Beauty would still figure out it was him.
Would she ignore him because he had beaten Xu Xi so severely? She was always so well-behaved.
But now he regretted it, he shouldn’t have just beaten Xu Xi; he should have sent Xu Xi’s father to the ICU along with him. Then Little Beauty wouldn’t have been hurt tonight.
He called the doctor and used ice to soothe the swelling on Little Beauty’s face.
Neither of them brought up the incident before the doctor left.
“Mr. Lu, Miss Xu just needs some ointment for her face. There are no serious wounds, and she’ll recover in a few days. If you’re worried, she could get an anti-inflammatory shot, but it’s not ideal to rely on injections for minor issues. Her immune system can handle it.”
“I… I can get the shot.”
Xu Xiaoguai spoke very softly. She had rarely gotten shots before, and although she was afraid of pain…
But getting a shot meant someone cared about her…
The doctor glanced at Lu Wang again.
Lu Wang snapped at the doctor, “No shots. She’s afraid of pain.”
He shot the doctor a look. “Leave the medicine. You can go.”
Xu Xiaoguai trembled almost imperceptibly, staring blankly as the doctor left.
Her mind was a mess, and she couldn’t utter a word.
Lu Wang was clearly unhappy.
She sat there, looking pitiful, like a drenched puppy who had finally found shelter but was too scared to shake off the wetness.
“Come here. Let me apply the medicine.”
Xu Xiaoguai shifted silently, inching closer to Lu Wang.
Lu Wang took a deep breath, then gently dabbed some ointment onto Little Beauty’s face with his fingertips. He was careful not to press too hard, spreading the cream softly over her skin.
The milky-white ointment turned transparent upon contact with her skin.
It felt cool, and she should feel more comfortable.
After applying the medicine, Lu Wang took off her shoes, removed her outer clothes, and tossed the dirty garments into the laundry basket in the bathroom.
Now, Xu Xiaoguai was left in only her underwear.
But she didn’t dare speak, silently wrapping her arms around herself to shield her body.
“Lie down.”
As soon as he spoke, Xu Xiaoguai immediately slipped under the covers, lying flat with her feet pressed together. She tilted her head to look at Lu Wang, waiting for his next instruction.
Lu Wang felt both angry and heartbroken. Helplessly, he asked, “Are you going to sleep now, or do you have something to ask me?”
Xu Xiaoguai blinked twice, her index fingers twisting together under the covers. After hesitating for a while, she mustered the courage to ask, “Did you beat up Xu Xi? He… he can’t have children anymore.”
“Yeah.”
Lu Wang admitted it outright. He hadn’t planned to hide it from Little Beauty; he just didn’t think it was a big deal worth mentioning.
“Now that I’ve beaten him up, are you going to blame yourself and feel guilty again?”
Lu Wang pointed to the crucial area below his waist. “Then hit me back. We’ll be even, so you won’t have to blame yourself.”
He was straightforward, sitting directly in front of Xu Xiaoguai, making it easy for her to strike.
“Why would I hit you… there…”
Xu Xiaoguai wanted to sit up, but with only her underwear on, she could only shrink further under the covers.
Lu Wang knew she was very kind-hearted. It was only natural for her to feel conflicted since he had nearly killed her own younger brother.
So naive and foolish.
How could the little beauty he adored be this simple-minded?
“Then…”
He had barely uttered a single word when Xu Xiaoguai interrupted him.
“Lu Wang, you beat Xu Xi because you wanted to stand up for me, didn’t you?”
