Chapter 81 Show Affection_1

An Lan's words caused Gu Xi's expression to freeze.

"Miss Gu, sorry about that, I just got scalded by accident when I was fetching water and spilled it all over the floor, so I came back first. Otherwise, I'll go and get you another cup," An Lan said with an apologetic look towards Gu Xi.

Before Gu Xi could respond, she saw Huo Zhanting pull An Lan's hand with great concern, his thumb gently caressing her slightly reddened back of the hand with a look of tender pity in his eyes.

"What more fetching, did you scald yourself? I'll go find a doctor to prescribe some burn ointment for you, to apply it on," he said.

An Lan's face turned a slight red, glanced at Gu Xi who was about to go crazy with anger, her lips curving up slightly, then feigned embarrassment as she refused, "No need, Miss Gu is still here... let go of me."
