“Uncle, can you bring me my pajamas?”

He pushed the door open forcefully. Jian Dan—who was only wrapped in a towel—appeared in front of him…

His Adam’s apple bobbed… He reached out and pulled Jian Dan into his arms. “Do you still need to wear pajamas?”

A devilish smile appeared on Chu Liyuan’s lips, and Jian Dan felt her breathing slowly become heavier.

Jian Dan—who had just taken a shower—exuded the fragrance of shower gel. Under the light, her alluring red lips deeply stimulated Chu Liyuan’s senses as his gaze slowly drifted south…

“What happened?” He noticed that Jian Dan’s collarbone and arms were covered in red bloodied marks. He frowned and his eyes were filled with heartache…

Seeing Chu Liyuan’s pained expression, she hurriedly explained, “It’s nothing. I just rubbed a little too hard. It will be fine tomorrow.”

“It’s because I came back late that you suffered like this.”

“No! If you hadn’t come back in time, I might have already di…”

Chu Liyuan covered her mouth with his hand. “Try saying that word!”

“Alright, alright, alright! I won’t say anything!”

He hugged Jian Dan’s waist with both hands and gazed at her lovingly. “Why did you let something happen to yourself the moment I’m not by your side?”

“Uncle, it’s really not my fault this time. I find it rather strange too. 1 wonder if I’m experiencing Mercury retrograde recently. Even if I don’t cause trouble, trouble will still come and look for me,” Jian Dan said in all seriousness.

“Uncle, do you think it’s possible that God thinks that I’m not worthy of you, so this method is used to warn me?”

“What goes on in that head of yours?” Jian Dan flicked Jian Dan’s forehead and asked.

“I’m serious! I feel that ever since I got together with you, trouble always happens.”

“Let me tell you, even if it’s really as you said, you won’t be able to escape. Even if God tells me to let you go right to my face, I’ll still hold onto you tightly. 1’11 never let you go.”

“Uncle, Uncle, you really know how to whisper sweet nothings. I’m mesmerized by them.”

He carried Jian Dan and put her on the bed… Then, he hugged her from behind… n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“By the way, Uncle, where’s Zi Yan? Why didn’t she come back with you?”

“Zi Yan is injured and is in the hospital!”

“What? Injured? Zi Yan is so formidable, how could she be injured?”

Jian Dan bolted up from the bed…

“Which hospital is she in? I want to see her!”

She was about to get out of bed when Chu Liyuan pinned her back onto the bed.

“It’s just a small injury; not a big problem. Moreover, Lu Ting is taking care of her in the hospital. Sizhe, that rascal, heard that Zi Yan’s injured and went over. Two doctors are taking care of Zi Yan. Are you still worried?”

“Lu Ting and Sizhe?” Would these two rivals in love fight when they meet?

“Yes! The first thing Sizhe said when he saw me was to ask about Zi Yan. When he heard that she was injured, he dropped everything and went straight to the hospital.”

“1 was wondering why I didn’t see him the moment I reached the ball. It turns out that he was off to show his love.”

“Uncle, do you think the two of them will…”

“No!”

“Are you so sure, Uncle?”

“Yes!”

“Alright! If you say no, then they probably won’t.”

“I wonder which one of them Zi Yan will choose in the end?”

“Maybe she won’t choose either!”

“No way!”

Chu Liyuan did not say anything and merely smiled.

“Don’t worry about others for now. Think about yourself.”

“Myself? What do I have to think about?”

“Think of your husband—me!”

“I’ve always been thinking about you!” Jian Dan said with a blushing face.

“Really? Lip service won’t do; you have to prove it with actions.”

“How do I prove that?”

“Like this…” He captured Jian Dan’s red lips.

“Mmm…”

Out of concern for Jian Dan’s injuries, Chu Liyuan was surprisingly gentle…
