After Mad Dragon was released from prison, I shocked the world!

Lin Li came out of the kitchen with a glass of warm water and a few anti-inflammatory pills, and saw Lei Xiangqing still looking like she had done something wrong, sitting in the corner of the sofa with her head down.

She had changed her clothes; they were Lin Yuehua's old pajamas, which were probably a bit small and didn't cover up some areas that should have been covered.

Hearing footsteps, Lei Xiangqing froze, but dared not look up.

She was waiting for Lin Li's punishment.

Despite her best efforts to distract the enemy, Lin Yuehua still found herself in danger and was nearly violated by those beasts.

If Lin Li hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Lei Xiangqing knew Lin Yuehua's place in his heart, and she had clearly promised to protect Lin Yuehua, but she had failed to do so.

Seeing Lei Xiangqing's listless appearance, Lin Li couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and deliberately said in a cold voice, "Take your medicine."

"..."

Lei Xiangqing silently took the water glass and pills, tilted her head back and swallowed them. After hesitating for a moment, she looked up at Lin Li, her eyes slightly red: "Lin Li, I'm sorry."

"It's my fault for being useless. I didn't protect your aunt. You can hit me or punish me as you please, I'll accept it."

Even if... even if you were to cripple me, I would have no complaints.

Her voice was choked with emotion, but it was filled with a stubbornness.

Lin Li looked at the bandages wrapped around Lei Xiangqing's wrists and legs, sighed, and reached out to rub her head.

"Isn't that stupid?"

Lei Xiangqing was stunned and looked at him in disbelief.

"You've done enough."

Lin Li looked at the somewhat dazed woman, his voice softening slightly. Instead of scolding her, he praised her, "Faced with dozens of armed thugs, you didn't abandon your aunt and run away. Instead, you risked your life to draw the enemy away."

Even at the very last moment, you stood in front of her to protect her.

He chuckled softly and said frankly, "Lei Xiangqing, you're a loyal girl. If it weren't for you today, my aunt might not have made it to my place."

"So, I don't blame you; on the contrary, I should thank you."

Upon hearing this, Lei Xiangqing's tears instantly flowed down her cheeks.

She thought she would be met with anger and scolding, but she didn't expect such affirmation and gentleness.

"Really...really?"

She asked, sobbing, "You're not angry with me?"

Lei Xiangqing felt a little scared when she thought about how Lin Yuehua almost lost her life today.

"I'm not angry."

Lin Li smiled, sat down next to Lei Xiangqing, and continued, "However, Auntie was frightened and is still not well. I'll have to trouble you to continue to stay by her side for the next while."

He looked at the woman with red eyes and deliberately said, "I don't trust anyone else but you to take care of her."

Lei Xiangqing was stunned when she heard this.

Lin Li doesn't blame me! He still trusts me!

Looking at that handsome face with its sharp features, she could no longer control her emotions.

"Lin Li!"

Lei Xiangqing suddenly shouted and threw herself into Lin Li's arms, hooking her arms around his neck and kissing him fiercely!

"Well……"

Caught off guard, Lin Li was jolted back by the sudden enthusiasm, his back hitting the back of the sofa.

Lei Xiangqing clung tightly to Lin Li, wishing she could meld herself into his body.

Lin Li instinctively tried to push her away, but as soon as his hand touched Lei Xiangqing's waist, he felt her body trembling.

He hesitated for a moment, glancing at the closed bedroom door out of the corner of his eye.

The door was closed, and there was no sound from inside.

Lin Li sighed silently, not pushing the woman in his arms away, but instead gently stroking her trembling back.

He responded to Lei Xiangqing's kiss, not as domineering as last night, but gentle and tolerant enough.

After a long while, Lei Xiangqing finally opened her mouth, panting, her face flushed, but her eyes were bright.

"You initiated both times, so don't try to renege!"

She nestled against Lin Li's chest and spoke in a somewhat domineering manner.

Lin Li smiled helplessly and helped Lei Xiangqing tidy her messy hair: "Alright, stop acting innocent after getting the benefit."

"Get some rest, I'll go pick up Su Qian from get off work."

I glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already 5:30 in the afternoon.

"To pick up Su Qian?"

Lei Xiangqing pouted. Although she was a little jealous, she knew that business was more important. "Then you go ahead. I'll stay home and watch over Yuehua."

Lin Li kissed her forehead, walked to the door, and whistled.

"Eighth Brother! Black Tail! Ninth Brother! Time to get to work!"

The three large dogs, which had been dozing in the corner, suddenly stood up, full of energy.

Old Eight wagged its tail and charged over to rub against Lin Li's trouser leg with a fierce look on its face, while the two dogs behind it also stuck out their tongues excitedly.

"Come on, let me take you to meet them."

Lin Li patted the dog's head and led the three vicious dogs out the door.

……

First glimpse of the Cultural Building.

Seeing Lin Li's car, Su Qian's previously bad mood suddenly eased a little.

No matter how tired she was, seeing this man made her feel at ease.

"Lin Li!"

Su Qian walked over quickly and habitually opened the passenger door: "Why are you here so early today..."

Before she could finish speaking, her face turned pale instantly.

"Woof! Woof woof!"

As soon as the car door was opened, Lao Ba, who had been squatting on the passenger side floor mat, thought someone was attacking its owner. It instinctively let out a roar and pounced out!

Black Tail and Old Nine in the back seat also started barking wildly, and three gaping maws instantly appeared in front of Su Qian!

"ah--"

Startled, Su Qian screamed and hurriedly backed away, but her high heels twisted, and she fell to the ground.

"return!"

Just as Lao Ba was about to pounce on Su Qian, Lin Li shouted sharply.

The fierce Rottweiler abruptly stopped moving, whimpered, and tucked its tail between its legs back into the car.

Lin Li quickly unbuckled his seatbelt, jumped out of the car, and helped Su Qian up from the ground.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Su Qian was trembling all over, her face was very pale, and she was gripping Lin Li's arm tightly, her nails digging into his flesh.

She stared in horror at the three pairs of bright green eyes inside the car, stammering, "What...what is this...?"

"Lin Li, why is there something like this in your car?!"

She's been afraid of dogs since she was little, let alone a big dog like this that looks like it could bite someone to death!

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Lin Li looked Su Qian up and down, and seeing that she was not injured, he said, "This is the bodyguard I brought back, specifically to protect you."

"bodyguard?!"

Su Qian's voice turned shrill as she looked at Lin Li in disbelief: "They almost bit me to death just now!"

"They just don't recognize you and think you're going to attack me."

Lin Li explained, then turned to the three dogs in the car and shouted, "Look carefully, these are the people you'll be protecting from now on!"

"From now on, anyone who dares to bare their teeth at her, I'll stew them!"

The three dogs in the car seemed to understand, lying on their seats and whimpering ingratiatingly at Su Qian.
