Warm medicine emits fragrance

"Then... what else could it be!" To cover up her guilty conscience, Fan Liuer emphasized her words.

"What else can you do besides this face? Washing clothes, cooking, doing housework, which one can you do?" she said, shaking off Li Chenbi's hands and getting up to pick up the porridge on the table.

Li Chenbi lay on the bamboo bed, looking at her, "I still have some doubts."

Only those who feel guilty would become angry and embarrassed, and Fan Liuer was one of them at this moment. She paused for a moment, then turned to look at Li Chenbi with a face full of impatience.

"Why do you have so many questions? Since you don't trust me, then leave. I already regretted buying you. You're useless except for your face. You can't do anything right. You're a waste of food. I should have bought a strong and healthy one, at least someone who could work."

As she continued to complain, Li Chenbi's face grew increasingly dark.

"Buy a strong and healthy one? Who do you want to buy?"

Fan Liuer was just making things up anyway, and seeing him fixate on this, she became even more impatient. "What business is it of yours who I buy? I can buy whoever I want. It's none of your business if I buy a whole house full of people."

Li Chenbi stared at Fan Liuer without saying a word, his eyes filled with a deep-seated hostility.

Fan Liuer shrank back under his gaze and suddenly became timid.

He instinctively wanted to say something conciliatory, but then he remembered that he was now the head of the family, and his confidence returned.

"If you keep staring at me like that, I'll kick you out!"

Aside from that sentence, she couldn't think of anything else that could threaten Li Chenbi.

Li Chenbi was amused by her words, "Buy a whole house, huh? Fine, go ahead and buy it."

Fan Liuer naturally wouldn't actually buy them; she thought buying just one person was too expensive, let alone a whole roomful—that would cost a fortune.

But the words had already been spoken, and to say now that she was just talking nonsense would be beneath her dignity as the head of the family. She could only grit her teeth and shout, "You say you'll buy it, so you pay for it!"

She only dared to say that because Li Chenbi is currently broke.

Despite his discomfort, Li Chenbi reached under his pillow, pulled out the jade pendant left by Li Qiuping, and threw it at Fan Liuer.

"Take this, it's enough for you to buy a whole house."

Before Fan Liuer could even see what it was, she instinctively reached out to catch it.

It wasn't until I touched its warm, smooth surface that I realized it was a jade pendant.

Fan Liuer had been pampered and spoiled in the Li family for more than half a year. She had seen many good things and gained some knowledge. She recognized at a glance that this jade pendant was very valuable.

She recognized it as the one Li Chenbi had been clutching in his hand the day he was rescued. She was too busy rescuing him to notice it then, and hadn't seen it since, so she hadn't thought about it.

It turned out that Li Chenbi had hidden it under his pillow.

She glanced at Li Chenbi and thought to herself that even though he had lost his memory, he still remembered to hide money. He was indeed a petty person.

Even with amnesia, she's still petty!

Hmph, now that the jade pendant is in her hands, she's not going to return it.

After glancing at Li Chenbi again, Fan Liuer's anger subsided considerably.

Enough is enough. He's beholden to her because he's eaten her food and accepted her money. She shouldn't upset him anymore.

She put the jade pendant into her bosom and turned to continue serving the porridge.

We need to make him eat something; he'll be very grumpy if he's not full.

When Li Chenbi saw Fan Liuer put away the jade pendant and turn around, he thought she was really going to buy someone, and he was so angry that the veins on his temples throbbed.

"Where are you going!"

Fan Liuer stopped again and turned to look at him. Before she could speak, she heard him say something else.

"If you dare buy him back, I'll kill him. I'll kill every single one you buy!"

These words were spoken through gritted teeth, making Fan Liuer feel a chill run down her spine.

Fan Liuer secretly berated herself for being spineless. She was the head of the family now, but she still chickened out in the face of Li Chenbi's appearance.

She pointed to the porridge on the table, "I'm not going anywhere. I'll bring you some porridge. Will you drink it?" Her tone softened considerably.

Li Chenbi's gaze shifted to the bowl of porridge, his chest still heaving with anger.

After a moment, he spoke: "Eat."

Fan Liuer picked up the porridge and walked to the bamboo bed. Li Chenbi propped himself up and sat up, taking the bowl from Fan Liuer's hands.

Fan Liuer breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She hoped that this bowl of porridge would shut Li Chenbi up and stop him from asking so many questions.

Before drinking the porridge, Li Chenbi spoke again.

He looked up at Fan Liuer, "I have something else to ask you."

Fan Liuer was truly helpless, but she didn't want to argue with Li Chenbi anymore, so she could only warn him in advance, "If you ask me again why I bought those things from you, you can forget about drinking this porridge."

Li Chenbi glanced at her hair. "You're wearing a married woman's hairstyle. Where's your husband? Does he know you bought me to warm his bed?"

Fan Liuer made up the story casually to explain her intimate behavior with Li Chenbi, and now she has to make up another story to cover it up.

As the old saying goes, it takes a hundred lies to cover up one lie.

He/She has passed away.

Li Chenbi raised an eyebrow. "Passed away? Was your husband a doctor?"

Fan Liuer didn't understand why Li Chenbi asked that, so she glanced at him and said, "No."

Li Chenbi: "I haven't even looked at those medical books you gave me, so they probably aren't yours. Your husband isn't a doctor, so could it be that these medical books belong to some random man you met outside?" The closer Li Chenbi got to the end, the colder his voice became.

Especially the phrase "wild man".

Fan Liuer also sensed something was wrong, and recalling Li Chenbi's anger when he asked her to buy people, her brows began to furrow.

Isn't this person suffering from amnesia? He's even forgotten who she is, so why does he still have such a strong possessive desire for her?

With a hint of suspicion in her eyes, she asked Li Chenbi, "Why are you asking this?"

Li Chenbi noticed the suspicion in her eyes and knew that he had given himself away because he was too angry.

He averted his gaze and said calmly, "Since I'm the one you bought to warm your bed, then only I can warm your bed."

Fan Liuer wasn't sure if Li Chenbi was truly suffering from amnesia or faking it, so she could only try to probe by going along with his words: "You're just a bed warmer, not my husband."

Li Chenbi snorted coldly, "I have amnesia, but I haven't been possessed. I know who I am. Even if I starve to death on the streets, I would never sell myself off so easily."

He looked at Fan Liuer, his tone becoming more serious, "Since I'm willing to be your bed warmer, it must mean we've reached this kind of agreement. You can't find anyone else besides me."

"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have come back with you."

"Since we have reached this kind of agreement, there shouldn't be any other people around you."

"So, who owns that medical book?"

"Or are you trying to break the contract while I've lost my memory?"

Fan Liuer had no time to dwell on the agreement she had inexplicably been burdened with; her mind was only on Li Chenbi's words.

When a person loses their memory, they only forget some things; it doesn't mean their personality changes drastically. These are indeed things that Li Chenbi would say.

After carefully examining Li Chenbi again, and finding no flaws in his expression, Fan Liuer finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems he wasn't faking it.
