The doctor prescribed the medicine and left.

Qiao Mu obediently took the medicine and lay down to rest.

Li Yan sat quietly at the side, his large hand gently caressing her stomach as if he wanted to ease her pain.

Her heart was filled up in an instant.

Perhaps when one was sick, one’s willpower was weaker, and their nerves were easily affected.

Why was it this man again?

Qiao Mu remembered that Qiao Ya had once pushed her down, and she had scratched her knee. She had secretly hidden in a corner and was bruised, and Li Yan had seen it.

Li Yan had a scary expression on his face. He carried her home and asked the doctor to apply the medicine for her.

That was Qiao Mu’s first time seeing a doctor. When she caught a cold, her mother only gave her some medicine, but Li Yan called the doctor because of her small injury.

At that time, Qiao Mu couldn’t hold back her tears. It wasn’t because of the pain, but because she felt that someone cared for her. This was a feeling that she had never experienced before.

At that time, Qiao Mu was only seven years old, and she blindly relied on him.

She felt that he was her prince.

At the thought of this, Qiao Mu’s eyes turned sour, and tears uncontrollably flowed down her face.

Qiao Mu sniffed and desperately held back. Why was he so casually nice to her again? However, she would not be fooled this time!

When Li Yan saw her tears, he frowned slightly and lowered his voice subconsciously. ” What’s wrong? Does it still hurt?”

“Yes.” Qiao Mu bit her lip, not wanting to reveal her thoughts.

Li Yan scooped up Qiao Mu’s body and held her in his arms. ” The medicine will take effect soon. It won’t hurt much longer. You’ll be fine after you sleep. ”

Qiao Mu raised her head from his embrace and glared at him with her big eyes.

She immediately blurted out, “”Uncle, aren’t you too good to your bed partner?”

Li Yan narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, ” You still know your duty. You’re useless now. If you continue to be sick, won’t my five million go down the drain? ” So get well quickly!”

Qiao Mu snorted. How shameless!

Qiao Mu felt extremely comfortable in his embrace. She closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.

Li Yan gently placed her on the bed and looked at the little one who was sleeping soundly.

Every time he looked at her obedient appearance after she fell asleep, it would remind him of her from ten years ago.

In fact, ever since they had parted ways that year, she had only been a silhouette in his heart. Ten years had long since faded away the feelings he had for her over the past three years.

Back then, he had also thought about it. Forget about such a heartless little thing.

However, she could not forget it.

When they met again ten years later, he realized that she was even more torturous than before.

Li Yan realized that the feelings he had for this girl back then were not as deep as before. Now, he finally realized that he had only fallen in love with her back then. Now, his heart was truly moved.

When Qiao Mu woke up the next day, her stomach no longer hurt.

The doctor instructed her to only eat porridge, so Qiao Mu obediently ate a bowl of porridge. Then, she looked at the man opposite her as if she was expecting something.

Li Yan browsed through the news that day, then put down his phone. He looked up and met Qiao Mu’s gaze.

He saw through her thoughts at a glance and said indifferently, “I will ask Lei Yi to transfer the money to you.”

Qiao Mu nodded vigorously when she heard that. After some thought, she said after some discussion, “”Uncle, I only have one request.”

“Hmm?” This little thing still dared to make requests?

“That’s right.. Can you not ask me about the use of this money? And don’t investigate me, okay?”
