Chapter 334: One Step Forward

Gu Jingyan held her wrist, looked at her up and down with a cold face, and said in a tight voice, "Did it splash on you?"

Song Jiayu followed closely behind, looking worried and concerned, "Miss Qiao, Brother Mo, are you okay?"

Seeing Qiao Ruoxing not speaking, Gu Jingyan looked a little anxious, "Did I burn you?"

Qiao Ruoxing lowered her eyes and pushed his hand away, "No."

Gu Jingyan was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Qiao Ruoxing continue, "I am very lucky. Xing Xingzi has to turn around when he sees me. How could he get burned?"

Gu Jingyan...

What he wanted to say, Song Tianjun came over now.

First he looked at Qiao Ruoxing to make sure she was fine, then he looked at Song Jiayu and said, "Jiayu, how are you?"

Song Jiayu said warmly, "I'm fine, brother. Brother Gu pulled me away, otherwise I would have been splashed with fire."

Gu Jingyan frowned.

Song Tianjun paused after hearing this and glanced at Gu Jingyan, "Do you still have such moral character?"

Gu Jingyan ignored Song Tianjun's strange annoyance and turned around to talk to Qiao Ruoxing.

Qiao Ruoxing turned back to Mo Mingxuan and said, "Lawyer Mo, let's go to a brighter place over there and let me see if your arm has been burned."

Mo Mingxuan glanced at Gu Jingyan, who looked tense, lowered his eyes and said, "Okay."

Gu Jingyan frowned and chased after him without thinking. Song Tianjun grabbed his shoulders and said, "Hurry up and maintain the scene. Many people have been burned. If you don't handle it well, it will damage your Gu family's reputation."

Gu Jingyan had a sullen face and watched helplessly as Qiao Ruoxing pulled Mo Mingxuan away.

The fire at the scene had not yet extinguished and the crying had not stopped. Gu Jingyan clenched his hands and turned to coordinate the scene.

Song Tianjun turned his head and put his coat on Song Jiayu.

Song Jiayu folded her coat and said, "Brother, why are you so impatient with Brother Gu? He just saved me. You are not like this to Miss Qiao."

Song Tianjun said angrily, "He can compare with... Miss Qiao. Miss Qiao risked her life to save you. With just a spark, anyone can pull you away."

Song Jiayu retorted in a low voice, "I think Brother Gu is a very nice person and very responsible."

Song Tianjun had a sullen face, "If he was responsible, could he divorce Miss Qiao right after she lost her mother? Stay away from him."

Song Jiayu pursed her lips, glanced in Qiao Ruoxing's direction, and suddenly said, "Brother, Brother Mo seems to care about Miss Qiao very much. Does he like Miss Qiao?"

Song Tianjun rubbed her head and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

That bitch Gu Jingyan is not worthy of Ah Xing, and Mo Mingxuan also needs to be discussed.

One has a brain problem, and the other has a family problem.

If Ah Xing wants to fall in love, help her look for her; if not, then recruit more young talents in the company, and it's no problem to change things around.

If she wants to get married, she can get married. If she doesn't want to get married, the Song family can afford to support her for the rest of her life.

Mo Mingxuan unbuttoned the cufflinks of his shirt and rolled up his sleeves.

The old burns on her arms were still scary, but Qiao Ruoxing had been prepared for it, so she wasn't too scared, she just felt regretful.

The burnt hole on the elbow of his shirt was as big as a ping pong ball. Qiao Ruoxing carefully looked at the skin under the burnt hole. The burnt skin was darker than other places, so it was hard to see clearly whether it was burned or not.

"Do you feel any pain?"

Qiao Ruoxing asked.

Mo Mingxuan paused and whispered, "I can't feel it."

Qiao Ruoxing was stunned.

Mo Mingxuan explained, "The burn at that time damaged the nerve endings, so the areas with scars are very sensitive. Whether it is cold, heat, or pain, there is actually no obvious feeling."

This is why he didn't react even though the fire burned such a big hole in his clothes.

Qiao Ruoxing's throat froze. Why did she seem to be poking Lawyer Mo's scars every time?

She can't control her bad mouth!

"I can't tell whether it's hurt or not. I'd better apply some medicine on you, just in case."

Mo Mingxuan did not refuse.

Qiao Ruoxing took the burn ointment brought by the doctor, squeezed some on her fingers, lowered her eyes, and carefully applied the ointment on his arm.

The coolness of her fingertips touched Mo Mingxuan's skin, making his heart tremble.

Although his senses were obviously dull, he could clearly feel the sliding of Qiao Ruoxing's fingers at this moment.

He stared at Qiao Ruoxing's brows and his Adam's apple slid unconsciously.

He lowered his eyes and then raised them, his eyes were clear, "Jingyan must have thought Miss Song was you. The colors of your clothes are very similar. He cares about you."

Qiao Ruoxing paused without raising her eyes, "The clothes are of different styles, and Miss Song and I have different body shapes and heights. How blind does he have to be to admit his mistake?"

"Maybe the situation was too chaotic at the time..."

Qiao Ruoxing was a little irritated, "It doesn't matter whether he admits his mistake or not, I don't need his rescue!"

Mo Mingxuan saw that her face was not good, so he said nothing.

"alright."

After a while, Qiao Ruoxing applied the medicine, and Mo Mingxuan looked down at his arm, then fell silent.

Qiao Ruoxing applied a circle of ointment around his elbow, and applied it very thickly.

Mo Mingxuan pursed his lips, "There's no need to apply so much."

"There's no harm in applying more. It might be able to lighten the scars from the past. I read in the instructions that it says it can remove burn scars."

Mo Mingxuan pursed his lips, "Do you think these scars are ugly?"

Qiao Ruoxing...

She suddenly wanted to slap herself in the face.

What a mess!

"Lawyer Mo, that's not what I meant," she explained anxiously, "I just saw that it says on the medicine box that it can remove scars... I don't think scars are ugly, they look pretty, ah - not pretty, no, not that, it's just... Anyway, I'm not saying that because I think it's ugly, I think a few scars are nothing, I have scars too..."

Mo Mingxuan looked at Qiao Ruoxing's anxious explanation, and suddenly chuckled, "I know, I was just joking with you."

Qiao Ruoxing...

"Ruoxing, do you know?" Mo Mingxuan said with his eyes downcast, "You are always very reserved when you are with me, and you speak very politely , I thought we were already friends. ”

Qiao Ruoxing said dryly, “We are friends.”

Mo Mingxuan raised his eyes and looked at her tenderly, “Friends won’t be so polite. Every time I help you a little, you want to return it twice. Friends won’t be like this. You can joke with me and say whatever you want. I hope our relationship can go a step further, not just...employment relationship.”

She was indeed a little reserved with Mo Mingxuan. She could joke with Shen Qingchuan and even treat him as a buddy, but she couldn’t be so close to Mo Mingxuan.

Qiao Ruoxing joked, “Maybe it’s because you are a lawyer. Ordinary people should be scared when they see a lawyer. What if they say something they shouldn’t say and you catch them and send them to jail?”

Mo Mingxuan smiled, “Lawyers can also help you send others to jail.”
