C164 (2/2)

Leng Lie got up from the bed and walked towards Xu Jiaren. He opened up the ointment, picked up the cotton swab and gently smeared it across Xu Jiaren's face.

The man's actions were very gentle, and his pair of sharp eyes were filled with a serious light. Xu Jiaren was stunned, who exactly did this rare gentleness belong to? How many times had she wished that Leng Lie wouldn't treat her so well? Because after everything had gone well, she would feel a little sad when they parted ways.

”Leng Lie, I will do it.” Xu Jiaren tried to take the cotton swab and medicine bottle in Leng Lie's hand, ”I'm a man, I wouldn't rub it very carefully.”

Leng Lie didn't even think twice as he pushed Xu Jiaren's hand away and said indifferently: ”Do I need you to evaluate whether I am meticulous or not? Xu Jiaren, you better sit down properly, or else … ”

”Ah …” ”It hurts.” Xu Jiaren only felt that the spot where she was bitten by a bee was being pressed down heavily by a cotton swab. Staring at the culprit angrily, she grumpily accused, ”Wipe well.”

This man was doing it on purpose. She knew that he didn't have good intentions.

A cool feeling spread across her face. Xu Jiaren felt an unprecedented feeling of comfort as she slowly closed her eyes. After a long while, Xu Jiaren's entire person was hung on Leng Lie's body.

Leng Lie called out softly. After there was no response, Leng Lie carried Xu Jiaren and laid him on the bed.

That night, Xu Jiaren slept soundly. She didn't know if it was because the bee bit him, causing a chemical reaction within her body, or something else.

Leng Lie had always been standing guard behind Xu Jiaren, and this man seemed to be treating Xu Jiaren more and more wrongly. He had also reflected on what happened today. Before, he had only promised Xu Jiaren that he would only let her be safe in this house, but he had never said that he would treat her extremely well.

Somehow, her uncontrollable desire to be nice to her slowly grew in her heart. As long as he saw her happy, the corners of his mouth would unconsciously rise up as well. Seeing her sullen appearance, he would think of ways to make her happy. The most direct method would be to give her the money.

The rough fingertip gently pressed against Xu Jiaren's nose, Leng Lie's expression was very focused. The ups and downs were so soft and attractive. He couldn't help but want to take this woman for himself.

Leng Lie lowered his hand and laid beside Xu Jiaren, feeling a little sore. The moonlight was bright and the stars were sparse. Wu Qirong had already disappeared without a trace. Everything was quiet. Deep into the night, Leng Lie touched Xu Jiaren's soft body as she fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up in the morning, Xu Jiaren was shocked. Her clothes had actually been untied. On the soft surface that was as white as snow, there were scratches.

Frowning at the man beside him, Xu Jiaren muttered a curse, ”A man who steals food.”

Hearing Xu Jiaren's resentful voice, the corner of Leng Lie's mouth hooked up. This woman was really fun to play. Actually, Leng Lie woke up very early, and only continued to hibernate.

Xu Jiaren was just about to buckle it shut. Suddenly, she felt a pair of warm, thick hands on his back. His entire back felt numb. This feeling was like a vine that crazily grew after being exposed to the sunlight and water.

Her heart thumped in her chest, and she subconsciously tried to hide under the blanket. When she realized how she was going to return to the wolf's lair, Xu Jiaren bounced up. Taking advantage of the situation, Leng Lie pushed herself up with her elbow, not giving Xu Jiaren the slightest time to escape.

As the woman was pressed down, an indescribable sound came from the quilt. Early in the morning, Leng Lie took advantage of the fact that he had woken up early to take care of Xu Jiaren.

When he was showering, Leng Lie was about to barge in even more.

When he opened the door, he saw Ah Xin standing outside with red eyes. Xu Jiaren frowned, what's going on?

Wasn't there something that should be done to look for Leng Yuan? Why is everyone looking for her?

”Sister-in-law …” Ah Xin opened her mouth and shouted, ”Sister-in-law, I finally understand what happened to you back then. ”Actually, you're having a hard time.”

”What do you mean?” Xu Jiaren was puzzled, ”What happened to you? It's not good to suddenly be like this, right? ”

”It's early in the morning, so this will affect your mood.”

”Sister-in-law, before dawn, mother told someone to call me and tell me to go cook. I'm still pregnant, so it's not appropriate for me to go in and out of the kitchen. ”

Xu Jiaren, ”...”

Puff, a mouthful of old blood.

Now that she was a young mistress, her body had become more expensive. Didn't he help Lu Niyun hit her earlier on? How could she be a mistress now? She didn't even have the strength to wield a knife?

How strange.

”It's not appropriate for you to go in and out of the kitchen, so I can't do anything about it. I'm only in charge of the accounts, not your mother-in-law. Ah Xin, you have matters to attend to, if you can't resolve them, go find your father or Leng Yuan. Isn't Leng Yuan your husband? You're not looking for him? ”

”But …”

Xu Jiaren said solemnly: ”There are some things that I can help you with, but there are some things that I cannot help with. After all, my identity is right here.”

Ah Xin wanted to say something but hesitated. Actually, what Xu Jiaren said was not unreasonable. If she became Leng Yuan's woman, the person she would face in the future would definitely be her mother. Xu Jiaren was only her wife, what could she say? Even if it's a caretaker, it's not omnipotent.

After Xu Jiaren left, Leng Lie followed behind.

Ah Xin lowered his eyes, feeling especially sad. But when he thought about the child and Leng Yuan in his stomach, he felt that he could endure it. They were both his own biological wives, just not allowing Lu Niyun to do it. She knew Lu Niyun very well. Lu Niyun seemed to be a reckless person, but she was actually quite good at scheming.
