After a blind date, she got married and was doted on by a wealthy man.

Chapter 288

Shen Sicheng was about to speak, but finally fell silent.

Qin Zhaozhao didn't look at Shen Sicheng, but just closed her eyes.

She did not wait for a response from Driver Shen, but only heard the slight sound of a light being turned off, and the room fell into darkness. Then she heard the slight sound of a door closing.

It seemed that Shen Sicheng had left the bedroom. She was so tired that she no longer had the energy to support her heavy eyelids and fell asleep in a second.

Shen Sicheng stood alone on the balcony, watching the sky slowly brighten and the sun rising and setting in the east over Jiangcheng.

His straight back revealed endless loneliness, his thin lips were pursed into a line until they turned pale, and his pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes were so dark that not even the sun could illuminate them.

It was not until his cell phone vibrated that he, like a jade statue, reacted and answered the call.

When he finished the call, his body tensed and a chill ran through his body.

"Don't do anything."

"Yes, Master."

Driver Shen looked at the elderly people doing morning exercises in the deserted community, then walked to the door, opened it, and took the medicine bag hanging on the door handle.

He stood at the bedroom door, his knuckles white as he held the medicine bag, as if he was trying hard to suppress his emotions.

After a long while, he finally opened the door and walked into the bedroom. What caught his eye was Qin Zhaozhao sleeping soundly on the bed.

He slowly walked to the bedside, leaned close to her, and gently placed his trembling fingertips on her forehead, his dark eyes filled with heartache.

His fingertips caressed Qin Zhaozhao's forehead, eyebrows, and red lips, and finally fell on the pinch marks on her neck. His fingertips trembled, and his phoenix eyes were filled with raging anger.

Qin Zhaozhao seemed to have had a bad dream and his brows suddenly furrowed.

Shen Sicheng's trembling fingertips fell on Qin Zhaozhao's tightly furrowed brows. He rubbed her brows gently until they slowly relaxed before removing his fingers.

He stared at Qin Zhaozhao for a while before opening the medicine box. He dipped the ointment on the index finger of his right hand and gently applied it to the wounds on her forehead and neck.

When Gu Qingxi got up and saw Shen Sicheng cooking, she immediately knew that Qin Zhaozhao was back.

Because Qin Zhaozhao was not at home, Shen Sicheng did not know how to cook. He learned to cook for Qin Zhaozhao and only cooked for Qin Zhaozhao.

"What time did Zhao Zhao come back last night?" She walked into the kitchen, poured a glass of water and asked Shen Sicheng, "Is she okay? It was already early in the morning before I went to bed and she didn't come back."

Shen Sicheng's hand that was cutting the fruit paused for a moment.

"When you see Zhao Zhao later, don't say anything."

Gu Qingxi swallowed the water in his mouth in astonishment, "Did something happen to her?"

Shen Sicheng put down the fruit knife and looked at Gu Qingxi, "Leave after you finish your breakfast. Don't come here recently, and don't show up in front of Zhao Zhao."

"Ah..." Gu Qingxi looked at Shen Sicheng's confused expression and asked in confusion: "Why?"

She paused and said quickly, "Are you worried that Zhao Zhao's interview with you will be seen by the people in the mansion and start to make things difficult for her? Don't worry, I haven't even had breakfast and am going back to the mansion now. I will never allow them to disturb Zhao Zhao."

"It wasn't at the mansion." Shen Sicheng's deep, cold eyes had a hint of complexity, "There was an accident."

Gu Qingxi: "Well? What's the accident?"

Driver Shen: "Don't worry about these, just do as I say."

Gu Qingxi stared at Shen Sicheng for a while before saying, "Can I still have breakfast here?"

Shen Sicheng paused, "Okay." Gu Qingxi helped Shen Sicheng bring breakfast to the table.

She opened her mouth several times, and finally said, "You have had your own ideas since you were little, so I am not worried that you will get into any trouble. But I still want to say that if you need your mother, you must tell me, and I will help you no matter what."

Shen Sicheng looked at Gu Qingxi deeply and nodded.

Qin Zhaozhao's biological alarm clock allows her to wake up on time at her usual time no matter how soundly she sleeps.

After waking up from a nap, she gasped in pain from her dislocated arms.

She didn't feel much pain after taking painkillers yesterday, but after the effect of the medicine wore off, the injuries on her body became particularly painful.

She took a few deep breaths and got up. After all, no matter how much pain she felt, she still had a tough battle to fight today.

This was a great opportunity for her to become famous that she had been planning for so long, and she would definitely not let anything unexpected happen because of this little pain.

"Zhao Zhao, you..." Gu Qingxi greeted Qin Zhaozhao with a kind look when she saw him, but her expression changed slightly when she saw the bruises on Qin Zhaozhao's forehead and neck. She subconsciously glanced at Shen Sicheng, and then hurriedly and gently said, "Go wash up quickly, Sicheng has prepared breakfast."

Qin Zhaozhao had a headache and was rubbing his temples, so he didn't notice the change in Gu Qingxi's expression.

"Okay, Mom."

She took off her clothes and prepared to take a shower, but was stunned when she saw herself in the mirror.

Because the pinch marks on her neck were no longer obvious, and the bruises on her forehead were no longer obvious.

She still remembered what she saw in the mirror in the hospital last night. Her neck and forehead were severely bruised. She didn't expect that the bruises would disappear so quickly after a few hours of sleep.

She couldn't help but reach out and touch her neck. She felt something sticky on her neck, and she smelled her fingertips but didn't smell anything.

When she and Gu Qingfeng went to the hospital last night, the doctor did not prescribe any topical medicine for her, and it didn't seem like there was something sticky about sweating.

There was a sudden sharp pain in her arm joint, which made her frown and interrupted her thoughts.

She didn't think too much about what the sticky feeling on her neck was. She took a few deep breaths and went to take a shower to wash away her tiredness.

She was wearing a suit and a white high-necked shirt that hid the pinch marks on her neck. The bruise on her forehead was very light, and she put on delicate makeup and applied more powder to perfectly cover it up.

At the dining table, Gu Qingxi's eyes moved wildly between Shen Sicheng and Qin Zhaozhao.

"Zhao Zhao, Mom has signed up for a tour group and plans to go traveling, so I won't be bringing you food in the near future. If you want to eat something, remember to tell the driver and ask him to go shopping after get off work. Just tell him what you want to eat, and I won't let him learn."

Qin Zhaozhao's mind was full of thoughts about what she would face today. When she came to her senses, she only heard the second half of Gu Qingxi's sentence.

"What to learn?" She looked at Gu Qingxi.

Gu Qingxi was stunned for a moment, then he immediately realized that Qin Zhaozhao didn't pay attention to what he said, so he repeated it.

Qin Zhaozhao realized that she had missed something. "Mom, he doesn't need to buy food specially. I will be very busy recently and won't be home for dinner tonight. The driver can buy whatever he wants to eat."

After that, without waiting for Gu Qingxi to speak, she said, "Mom, wait for me."

Gu Qingxi watched Qin Zhaozhao enter the bedroom, then turned to look at Shen Sicheng.

Seeing that Shen Sicheng looked confused and nervous, she hurriedly said to him, "I'm telling you, not coming back for dinner is not a good sign. Maybe he won't even go home to sleep at night."

She seemed to have thought of something, and lowered her voice and said hurriedly: "No, what happened that night when Lin Zhiyuan hooked up with Zhao Zhao can't happen again. Driver, if Zhao Zhao doesn't come back for dinner, you can cook for her. You must keep an eye on her and don't let any other people get close to her. Don't allow anyone to steal your girl, you..."

"Mom..." Qin Zhaozhao's voice rang out.
