Chapter 1377: Chapter 1382: Husband, Please Spare Me 8
Lan Liehuo slowly lowered his hands from protecting his head and looked at her, his eyes filled with deep fear, and a hint of childlike curiosity.
Ye Yingsu raised her hand intending to remove the leaf from his head, but Lan Liehuo, frightened, was about to run off again. Ye Yingsu quickly grabbed him and asked, "Are you hungry? Do you still want the bun from earlier?"
Upon hearing the word ’bun’, Lan Liehuo’s eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously. "I can bark like a dog. I can do it very well. Do you want me to show you?"
"Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!" Lan Liehuo dropped to his knees, barking and panting like a dog.
"Stop it! Stop it!" Ye Yingsu was almost breathless from laughing. She suddenly hugged him, her eyes welling up. This good-for-nothing bastard, how could he let himself become like this?
...
Ye Yingsu took Lan Liehuo back to her other apartment. This apartment was left to her by Lan Shaoqian. After Lan Shaoqian left, she didn’t have the courage to come back.
Her apartment wasn’t safe, so recently she had been staying in North Garden, and it was impossible for her to bring Lan Liehuo back there in his current state.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Yingsu lost sight of Lan Liehuo. She looked behind the curtains to see a pair of feet wearing ill-fitting shoes.
Lan Liehuo’s feet were big, he was probably wearing a pair of discarded shoes that he had found in a rubbish heap, his feet practically sticking out of the front of them.
Ye Yingsu swiftly drew the curtains back to reveal an anxious-looking Lan Liehuo.
Ye Yingsu, "..."
Inside the bathroom.
"Let go!" Ye Yingsu tugged at Lan Liehuo’s tattered trousers.
Lan Liehuo shook his head vigorously, refusing.
"How can you take a bath without removing your trousers?" Ye Yingsu gave a hard tug, and with a ripping sound, his trousers were torn apart.
Lan Liehuo cried out in shock and started to sob...
As Ye Yingsu watched the grown man in front of her cry like a child, the veins on her forehead throbbed.
In the end, Ye Yingsu still stripped him clean. Lan Liehuo was filthy, covered in mud from head to toe.
Ye Yingsu held back her sadness, picked up the handheld showerhead and began to bathe him.
No matter what state he was in, he needed to be cleaned and fed first.
Ye Yingsu washed him at least five times and let him soak in the tub for half an hour before he was finally clean.
The gunshot wound on his body had not completely healed, the injury was a bit festering. There were also many bruises all over his body, a mass of black and blue.
Looking at Lan Liehuo’s injuries, Ye Yingsu immediately regretted not getting out of the car to deal with those thugs who had been bullying him.
Judging by Lan Liehuo’s appearance, he was likely being humiliated by these people regularly.
After getting out of the bathtub, Ye Yingsu helped him put on a bathrobe. Lan Liehuo watched her curiously as she tied the belt around his waist. When she looked up, he quickly averted his gaze, pretending to look elsewhere.
The doorbell rang. It was probably the food delivery. She didn’t have time to cook for him and had to order takeout for now.
After he eats, she would need to take him to the hospital.
As Ye Yingsu placed the food and turned back to call him to eat, she noticed that Lan Liehuo was about to kneel and bark like a dog again.
Before he could begin, Ye Yingsu quickly crouched down and stopped him. Cradling his face, she earnestly said, "You won’t need to bark like a dog to eat in the future. You’re a person, not a dog! As long as I’m here, no one will bully you again."
Lan Liehuo looked at her and nodded, not fully understanding, but accepting her words nevertheless.
"Stand up and eat." Ye Yingsu helped him up and had him sit at the dining table.
