Warm medicine emits fragrance

"I didn't bring many people with me. I can only protect this courtyard. If you go out and get caught by that man, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for me to get you out of his clutches," Li Chenbi said.

Upon hearing this, Fan Liuer dared not go out.

But I really wanted to confide in someone, so I asked, "Could you have someone call Siqing over?"

"You shouldn't get too close to other people right now, lest that person, unable to get revenge on me, takes it out on others," Li Chenbi added.

This possibility cannot be ruled out, and Fan Liuer does not want to implicate others.

During lunch, Fan Liuer realized she hadn't seen Li Qiuping all morning and asked curiously, "Where's Steward Li? I haven't seen him all morning!"

"He went to buy a house."

"Buy a house?" Fan Liuer asked疑惑地, "Where?"

"Over there in the west of the town."

Fan Liuer looked puzzled. "Why do you want to buy it here?"

Li Chenbi looked at her and said, "You haven't decided whether you want to come with me yet. If you don't come with me, you definitely can't stay here any longer. That person might cause you trouble at any time. I don't feel comfortable sending you to a faraway place, so I can only buy you another house in town and hire a few skilled guards. That way, I can ensure your safety after I leave."

In reality, Li Chenbi complained that the courtyard was too small and not soundproof; if someone shouted loudly outside the courtyard, the house could hear it.

Just because that idiot Qi Weiming didn't think of using this trick yesterday doesn't mean he won't use it next time.

He needs to buy a bigger house, one with good soundproofing, so that no matter how loudly he shouts outside, no one inside can hear him.

Fan Liuer was somewhat moved by Li Chenbi's words.

After hearing the woman's story that day, and seeing that man's appearance last night, she realized that she had indeed been thinking too simply about life.

Even ordinary women find it difficult to live a stable life in this world on their own, let alone someone suffering from a cold.

If it weren't for this cold ailment, even if she were cheated out of her money or robbed, she could still survive since she has hands and feet.

But with this cold ailment, without money, she would freeze to death in the winter.

She looked at Li Chenbi and met his gaze.

Li Chenbi was good to her. Although he had a bad temper, was ruthless towards others, and even pretended to have amnesia to deceive her, he was not a heartless person. This can be seen from the fact that he still treated Li Yuhe well.

Even if he gets tired of her and stops liking her in the future, he probably won't treat her too harshly.

Thinking of this, she calmed herself down and said, "I'll go with you."

Li Chenbi slightly opened his eyes, but did not speak immediately. Instead, he looked at her.

Fan Liuer felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, and gripped her skirt with her hands hanging by her sides. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Chenbi exhaled, beckoned to her, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Come here."

Fan Liuer didn't move. "What?"

Li Chenbi suppressed his impulse, "Are you coming over here, or should I go over to you?"

Fan Liuer glanced at his legs, and finally relented, taking a step forward. "You can go over, but I'm warning you, you're not allowed to..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Chenbi leaned forward, grabbed her hand, and pulled her into his arms.

"Oh, you... um!"

The remaining sounds were swallowed by Li Chenbi.

He wanted her.

After searching for her for so long and coaxing her for so long, I've finally waited for this moment.

This time, she followed him willingly.

She knew what this meant.

She wanted to marry him, to marry Li Chenbi, and to truly become his person, to become his wife.

No one will ever again claim to be her husband.

Her husband is him, only him, and can only be him.

The kiss was too forceful, which was Li Chenbi's usual style. Fan Liuer was initially a little uncomfortable and thought of resisting.

In the end, when resistance proved futile, she gave in, obediently accepting him and cooperating with him.

The kiss lasted a long time, so long that Fan Liuer's tongue began to go numb before Li Chenbi finally stopped.

He pulled Fan Liuer into his arms, his hands gripping her back tightly, his chin resting on her shoulder, breathing heavily in her ear.

It was very hot; his breath was hot, and his body was hot.

His embrace was also there.

Fan Liuer felt comfortable and snuggled closer to him.

To be honest, she was attached to Li Chenbi's body. It was so comfortable and warm to be nestled in his arms. Her anxious heart had calmed down and she even felt a little sleepy.

Li Chenbi was intrigued by her actions, and remembering the things she had said to him a few days ago, he couldn't help but tease her.

"Why don't you say I forced you now?"

Fan Liuer lifted her face from his embrace and said softly, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to bring up old grievances at a time like this?"

Li Chenbi's gaze fell on her face, he lowered his head and kissed her again, then hugged her tightly once more.

"You really almost made me furious."

"Who's really upset whom?" Fan Liuer muttered resentfully, nestled in his arms.

Li Chenbi: "You're making me angry."

Fan Liuer: "You're making me angry."

Li Chenbi: "You're making me angry."

Fan Liuer: "You're making me angry."

Li Chenbi smiled, released her, lowered his head and kissed her again, "Say something I want to hear."

Fan Liuer is a good-tempered person, most of the time.

For example, right now.

"Fine, I'll make you angry."

Li Chenbi pushed his luck, "So, will you still make me angry in the future? Will you still say those hurtful things?"

If you don't get angry with me, I won't get angry with you either.

Li Chenbi was dissatisfied with this answer. "Making conditions?"

"That's exactly right. Are you saying I have to put up with you just because you're making me angry? Does marrying you mean I'm just going to suffer?"

"Fine, I won't be angry with you, but you can't just run away like that again."

Fan Liuer was satisfied. "Good."

After the two reached an agreement, Li Chenbi became somewhat distracted, and his hands began to wander.

Fan Liuer pressed his hand down and whispered, "Don't do anything reckless in this state."

Li Chenbi pulled her hand away, "You can move."

"I..."

"Master!" A knock sounded at the door, and Li Qiuping called from outside.

The two stopped moving, and Li Chenbi's face instantly darkened.

"What is it?"

"The house has been arranged, you can go there now."

This was urgent, so Li Chenbi had to stop. He pulled his hand away, straightened Fan Liuer's clothes, and said, "Pack your things, we're leaving now."

To avoid any unforeseen complications.

"Since I've already chosen to go with you, there's no need to go back there. Let's just go straight back to Xingzhou and save ourselves the trouble of moving around."

"Not now. He might set up an ambush on the way. I need to make some preparations and send you into Xingzhou City quietly."

Fan Liuer nodded and said, "Then there's no need to move over there. He won't come in here anyway, and I'll be leaving with you eventually, so there's no need to move, right?"
