Warm medicine emits fragrance

Fan Liuer thought for a moment and then said, "Is it possible that you've made a mistake?"

"Just like a fledgling bird will take the first object it sees as its mother, the first thing you saw when you had memories was me, and you developed a sense of dependence on me, so you mistakenly thought that this was love."

"Let me tell you, marriage is a big deal. If you misunderstand your feelings, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."

She tried to persuade Li Chenbi with earnest words, hoping to make him realize his mistake.

However, Li Chenbi did not follow her lead. Instead, after she finished speaking, he asked her, "Why don't you want to marry me?"

"You are a helpless woman, and it will be very difficult for you to live in this world. But it will be different if you marry me. You can enjoy wealth and luxury and you will never be bullied by anyone again."

He emphasized the words, "Why don't you want to marry me?"

Fan Liuer felt that if she didn't make things clear today, Li Chenbi would probably keep pressing the issue.

She gently pushed Li Chenbi away, stepped out of his embrace, sat up straight and looked at him. "You probably don't remember my past. My family wasn't well-off. After my parents passed away, I was mistreated at home by my older brother and sister-in-law. I almost died at home last year."

"Even my closest relatives might not be good to me, so how can I trust that a man will be good to me from beginning to end?"

"Yes, marrying you will bring endless wealth and luxury, but you will also suffer more pain."

"I can't have children, I can't carry on your lineage. You'll definitely take concubines to continue your family line in the future. I'm not a very smart person, I can't compete with them, and I don't want to fight with women in the inner quarters in the future."

"I don't even have my family to support me. If I'm really wronged, I don't even have anyone to complain to."

After she finished speaking, Li Chenbi looked at her for a long time before saying, "That's why you ran away from Xingzhou City before, isn't it?"

There was no need to hide it now, and Fan Liuer frankly admitted, "This is the main reason, and the fear of being captured by Li Chenxin is also part of it."

"What makes you so sure I'll take a concubine like other men?"

"Because I can't have children."

"I don't like children."

Upon hearing this, Fan Liuer couldn't help but scoff, "Not liking someone and not having children are two different things. How many men in this world truly love their children? But that doesn't stop them from having one after another."

"If I say no, then no."

Fan Liuer didn't believe him and secretly pouted.

Seeing this, Li Chenbi gritted his teeth and said again, "What makes you so sure I will? I've already told you I won't, so what are you doubting?"

"I believe you won't now, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Who can say for sure whether you'll do it next year, five years from now, or ten years from now?"

"If that's how you think, then there's no one reliable in this world. Why did you marry your ex-husband in the first place?"

"I had no choice back then; if I hadn't married him, I might have starved to death at home. But it's different now. I have money, and I can live a good life on my own."

Li Chenbi was even angrier. "If I'm not mistaken, all your money should have come from me, right?"

Fan Liuer wasn't ashamed of this at all. "Yes, but once it's given to me, it's mine. Don't even think about taking it back."

hehe...

Li Chenbi was so angry he laughed.

If he had known this day would come, he shouldn't have given Fan Liuer a single penny in the first place!

He glared at Fan Liuer. "So, according to you, you'll never get married and plan to live a lonely life?"

Fan Liuer nodded rapidly, "Of course, I don't rely on a man now, so I don't want to get married."

Well... if you encounter someone with a tragic family background but excellent character and handsome appearance, it's not impossible.

She just wants to find a poor man so that she can be the boss at home and not have to put up with anyone's bad temper.

Li Chenbi stared at her for a moment, then suddenly let out a cold snort.

"I don't think so. When you thought I was truly destitute, your attitude towards me was not like this at all."

"Now that they know I haven't fallen on hard times, their attitude has changed."

"Are you planning to find a man to marry into your family in the future?"

Fan Liuer was surprised that her little scheme had been seen through, and couldn't help but marvel at Li Chenbi's intelligence.

Seeing her expression, Li Chenbi knew he was right. In an instant, he felt his blood surging in his chest, and his fever was almost triggered by Fan Liuer.

He clutched his chest, tilted his head back, and exhaled, trying to calm himself down.

Seeing this, Fan Liuer reached out and patted his chest, advising, "Don't think too much in your current condition; it's not good for your health."

Li Chenbi pressed down on her hand, turned his gaze back to her, and looked at her with a sinister look in his eyes. "Let me tell you, whether I have amnesia or not, you can only follow me for the rest of your life. If you dare to find other men, I will kill them all."

Unable to persuade her, Fan Liuer lost her temper, shook off Li Chenbi's hand, and stood up. "All you know how to do is threaten me! Go ahead and kill them, kill as many as you want!"

After saying that, she quickly walked to her bedside, lifted the quilt and crawled in, ignoring Li Chenbi.

Under the covers, she thought angrily, so what if he's not down on his luck? This is her house, and she's in charge. She doesn't want to be bossed around by Li Chenbi anymore.

Li Chenbi's eyes widened as he watched Fan Liuer's fluid movements.

His expression darkened the next moment.

This Fan Liuer is getting bolder and bolder; even after knowing he wasn't down on his luck, she still dares to give him attitude.

As he propped himself up to get out of bed, he suddenly remembered something and stopped.

He could tell that Fan Liuer wasn't entirely without feelings for him. After she saved him, her anxiety and worry every time he had an attack were genuine.

If it weren't for her inability to afford to care for him due to his illness, she would have intended to keep him. It was precisely for this reason that Li Chenbi asked Li Qiuping to reveal his identity.

I never expected her to react like this when she found out.

After a moment's thought, Li Chenbi roughly understood.

What she wanted was a Li Chenbi who wouldn't be a burden to her, but also wouldn't be stronger than her.

Behind this, what she really wanted was a position of authority, a status that allowed her to have a say.

Moreover, this identity cannot be given by him; what he gives is essentially still his, something he can take back with a single word.

It was a status and position that belonged entirely to her, one that no one could take away.

Having figured this out, Li Chenbi turned his head to look at the person on the bed covered by the blanket, and made a plan in his mind.

Her mood improved, and she slowly moved her legs off the bed, picked up her crutches to walk to the bedside, and then slowly lay down.

Fan Liuer noticed and poked her head out from under the covers, glaring at him.

Why did you get in my bed?!

Li Chenbi leaned his head on the pillow and looked at her with a flirtatious smile, like a seductive fox spirit in human form.

"Am I not your bed warmer?"

"Naturally, it's my duty as a bed warmer."
