Warm medicine emits fragrance

Yanqiu wanted to ask Li Chenbi for details, but Li Chenbi did not speak immediately. Instead, he asked Fan Liuer to go out first.

Fan Liuer knew that their conversation was likely confidential, so she immediately left.

After Fan Liuer left, Yan Qiu said, "Why did Brother Chenbi let his wife leave? There's no need to hide these things from her."

"I'm afraid of scaring her," Li Chenbi said.

Although Fan Liuer always knew what kind of person he was, he still didn't want her to see his scheming and manipulative side.

After hearing this, Yan Qiu thought to himself that Li Chenbi really was a completely different person in front of his wife.

After Fan Liuer came out of the house, she stood next to Chuixue. The two of them were bored and started chatting quietly.

Li Qiuping listened from the side, getting closer and closer until he couldn't help but interrupt.

In the past, in order to maintain her image, Li Qiuping was just like Li Chenbi in public, always wearing a cold face and never giving anyone a kind look.

In reality, he was just a young man in his early twenties, and he didn't need to pretend in front of Fan Liuer.

The three were chatting so enthusiastically that they lost track of time when the inner door suddenly opened.

Li Qiuping immediately jumped back to his original position, and Chuixue obediently shut her mouth.

Fan Liuer was slow to react and was still immersed in the funny stories Chuixue was telling, laughing from ear to ear.

Just as he was laughing happily, he caught a glimpse of Li Chenbi standing at the door.

"What are you saying, laughing so happily?"

Fan Liuer suddenly felt as if she had returned to the time when she first met Li Chenbi. She silently stopped smiling and remained quiet.

Li Chenbi was itching to see this; he had never understood how he had been so easily manipulated by Fan Liuer.

Now it seems that he was seduced by her seemingly honest and simple appearance.

Yan Qiu emerged from behind Li Chenbi. As he said goodbye, he instinctively wanted to greet Fan Liuer, but upon seeing her face, he swallowed his words and only said a greeting to Li Chenbi.

After he left, Li Chenbi called Fan Liuer into the house.

Now that there was no one else in the room, Fan Liuer no longer needed to pretend and poured herself a glass of water as soon as she entered.

Before she could even taste the water, Li Chenbi hugged her from behind.

His hand went straight into his clothes.

Fan Liuer slapped his hand away and said irritably, "Please have some self-respect, sir. I'm not that kind of person."

Hearing her words, Li Chenbi's interest deepened. "Is that so?"

"That's quite unfortunate, isn't it? I am that kind of person. So, tell me, what do you want in return?"

He turned Fan Liuer around and pinned her to the table.

Fan Liuer placed her hands on his chest. Seeing his burning gaze, she felt a strange sense of panic, as if she were really an honest and simple servant who had been targeted by her lustful master.

"That's strange, don't do that." She tried to push Li Chenbi away.

Li Chenbi grabbed her hand with one hand and pinned it above her head, while his other hand reached inside her clothes and his mouth was also busy.

"What's strange about it?"

Fan Liuer couldn't break free from him, so she could only beg for mercy, "No, this is the prefect's mansion."

Li Chenbi laughed, "You don't think I could resist touching you if I kept you by my side, do you?"

As he spoke, he quickly unwrapped the cloth and swiftly claimed his territory.

With her eyebrows raised high, she said, "So you're actually a woman. How dare you lie to me."

"Tell me, how should I punish you?"

Fan Liuer blushed deeply. Li Chenbi's words had drawn her into the scene, making her feel ashamed.

She was even more shy than usual.

As soon as she blushed, Li Chenbi immediately sensed it, withdrew his hand and held it in front of his eyes, smelling the familiar scent of medicine.

His Adam's apple bobbed as he looked at Fan Liuer. "So you were hiding such a body all along."

After Fan Liuer entered the room, Li Qiuping consciously stood a little further away. Seeing that Chuixue was still standing in the same spot, he waved to her, "Come here a little."

Fubuki, puzzled, walked up to him. "What's wrong?"

Although Chuixue now appears as a man, she is still a woman after all. Li Qiuping didn't want to be too explicit, so he simply said, "Go and ask someone to bring some hot water. I'll need it later."

Having grown up in the martial arts world, Fubuki immediately understood and laughed, "Hahaha, it's not even dark yet, sir, you're really in a hurry."

Li Qiuping's face immediately darkened. "Watch your mouth."

Fubuki covered her mouth, nodded, and then went to fetch water.

Li Qiuping turned back to look at the doorway, then looked up at the night sky.

He also wants to get married.

Fan Liuer was so exhausted from all the commotion that she fell asleep. When she woke up in the morning, Li Chenbi was no longer in the room; only Chuixue was waiting for her to wake up.

Seeing that she was awake, Chuixue said, "The master has gone to General Yan's place. He told you to stay around this room and not to go too far. He will be back when he is done."

Fan Liuer was not an active person to begin with, so she had no objection to it.

During the next few days at the prefect's residence, she hardly left her room. Although she was there to be Li Chenbi's personal servant, her life was no different from when she was in the Li residence.

But to avoid any accidents, she still dutifully disguised herself every day.

Yanqiu would occasionally come to discuss matters with Li Chenbi. Most of the time, Li Chenbi wouldn't let her listen, but occasionally she could hear snippets of conversation and know that the army was about to set off north.

This means that her days hiding in Li Chenbi's courtyard are coming to an end, and she will soon be going to the military camp with Li Chenbi and appearing in public.

This made her a little nervous, so much so that Li Chenbi could see it.

"What are you thinking about?" Li Chenbi asked, hugging her from behind.

He loved holding her like this, his whole body pressed against her back, his arms and legs wrapped around her, completely imprisoning her in his embrace.

Fan Liuer sighed. "I'm a little worried that someone will recognize me. I've met General Yan. Do you think he'll punish me if he recognizes me?"

Li Chenbi felt so comfortable holding Fan Liuer that he became sleepy. He pressed his arm against her slightly cool nape and said lazily, "With me here, what are you afraid of?"

With Li Chenbi's words, Fan Liuer was no longer afraid.

Soon, she heard steady breathing behind her. Fan Liuer turned to face Li Chenbi, looked at his sleeping face, and thought to herself that she had really changed a lot because of Li Chenbi.

She used to not easily believe a man's promises, but now, with Li Chenbi's words that he was there, she could entrust herself to him wholeheartedly.

Actually, she still doesn't think this is a good thing; relying too much on someone is a dangerous thing.

This means that if their relationship changes, all the dependence will turn into harm and hurt her.

She knew it all too well, but in the end, she couldn't overcome her own heart.

She, who has always been afraid of death, lazy and unwilling to compete, was actually thinking that if Li Chenbi stopped liking her in the future, she would do everything she could to keep him by her side.
