Warm medicine emits fragrance

Li Chenbi hadn't slept all night, but he quickly fell asleep on Fan Liuer's lap in the swaying carriage.

I slept the whole way and only woke up when the carriage was about to enter the city.

However, he didn't get up. It was early spring, and although the temperature was still a bit cold for most people, it was already starting to feel warm for him.

The carriage was even more stuffy.

Lying on Fan Liuer's body was so comfortable; the slightly cool touch made him unwilling to get up even after he woke up.

It wasn't until Fan Liuer spoke up: "If you're awake, get up. My legs are numb."

He then opened his eyes, sat up, and reached out to massage Fan Liuer's legs. "Why didn't you wake me?"

"You're sleeping so soundly, I wanted you to sleep a little longer." Fan Liuer removed his hand, stretched her legs, and looked at his arm. "How's the wound? Did you put any pressure on it?"

She didn't dare to move the whole way, for fear of touching his wound.

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious." Li Chenbi casually brushed aside the topic, leaned closer to Fan Liuer, looked at her with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Fan Liuer, you love me more and more now."

Looking at the face before her, Fan Liuer said softly, "Isn't it good?"

A smile spread across Li Chenbi's face, making his already handsome features even more dazzling. "Of course it would be great. If you could love me even more, that would be even better."

Fan Liuer used to be unable to utter the word "love".

She grew up in the city and had seen and heard too much. Any emotion associated with love could not escape the trials of life.

Whether it's the love between husband and wife, siblings, or even parents, it often comes with conditions.

She was lucky; her parents truly loved her, allowing her to grow up relatively happily in a family that wasn't wealthy.

This also fostered her self-centered personality.

She has received enough love, so it is difficult for others to move her, because she simply does not believe that there are people in this world who treat her unconditionally like her parents.

But she got it from Li Chenbi.

She also began to try to express her love.

She raised her hand to stroke Li Chenbi's face and whispered, "How can I say I love you more? I want to take you back to Xingzhou, lock you up at home, and be with you every moment. Does that count?"

Li Chenbi raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this, somewhat surprised.

He was well aware of Fan Liuer's feelings for him; she loved him, but her love was hidden in her actions, and she rarely expressed it in words.

Hearing her express her love so directly and openly, Li Chenbi was surprised and couldn't help but feel restless.

He leaned closer, his eyes locking onto her, his voice low and husky, "Fine, you could go even further."

Fan Liuer did indeed have even more outrageous ideas, ideas that surprised even herself.

"I've thought about what I would do if one day you fell in love with someone else."

"What would you do?" Li Chenbi prompted her to speak.

Fan Liuer thought about it seriously for a moment, "That depends on the situation."

This wasn't the answer Li Chenbi wanted to hear. His brow furrowed, his face immediately showing displeasure, and he stepped back slightly. "It depends on the situation? What situation?"

"Let me tell you, if you're thinking of handing me over to someone else, I won't let you off the hook." He warned Fan Liuer with his eyes, and if she said anything he didn't like, he would never let her off the hook.

Fan Liu'er clicked her tongue. "Can't you let me finish what I have to say?"

He leaned back against the carriage wall, chin slightly raised, and said, "Speak properly."

Fan Liuer continued, "That depends on whether the family's businesses were completely under my control at that time."

"If that's the case, then I'll lock you up in the house and make sure you can never leave the house for the rest of your life."

These words lessened the displeasure in Li Chenbi's eyes by half. He suppressed the urge to smile and asked, "What if it's not like that?"

Fan Liuer frowned. "If not, then it will be a bit difficult."

"You're so smart. If the family fortune isn't completely under my control, I definitely can't beat you with my methods. At that time, let alone controlling you, I might even be tricked by you and kicked out of the house."

As Fan Liuer spoke, her brows furrowed more and more. She really couldn't think of what she would do if this situation occurred.

Li Chenbi leaned closer to her again, "Then I'll teach you, teach you what to do in that situation."

Fan Liuer looked at him, asking curiously, "How do you do it?"

"Simple, just kill that woman."

Fan Liuer felt that she shouldn't expect Li Chenbi to give any good advice.

"You've fallen in love with someone else, why should I kill that person? What did that person do wrong? I should be the one killing you."

"Would you really kill me?"

Li Chenbi's question stumped Fan Liuer.

He added, "Since you can't bear to kill me, then I can only kill her. Kill all the women who come near me, nip the possibility of me falling in love with someone else in the bud, and then I will belong to you alone."

He said this with a serious expression, not as if he were joking with Fan Liuer.

Fan Liuer thought that she had become bad, but compared to Li Chenbi, she was still too kind.

"That's too cruel, I can't do it."

"Then don't kill him, just cripple him."

"Crippling someone would be too cruel, I can't bring myself to do it."

Li Chenbi was unhappy again. "Fan Liuer, other people are fighting with you for your man, and you still can't bring yourself to do it? How come you have no possessiveness towards me at all? Is this what you call loving me? You're just playing with me!"

Fan Liuer felt that Li Chenbi's temper was inexplicable. "You fell in love with someone else, and I wasn't even angry with you. You're angry with me first."

"How could I possibly fall in love with someone else!"

"Well... if that's impossible, that's good. Then there won't be any more worries."

"What I want is your attitude!"

Li Chenbi frowned and stared at Fan Liuer, "You know perfectly well that I could never fall in love with anyone else, can't you say something nice to comfort me?"

Fan Liuer looked at him incredulously, "Fighting and killing, is that a good thing to say?"

"Don't confuse the issue; I'm talking about your attitude."

"My attitude wasn't good enough? You're the one with the problem."

"Yes, I have mental issues. You know I have mental issues, yet you still won't give in to me?"

The previous affectionate atmosphere vanished, and the two started arguing again.

Sitting outside the carriage, Fubuki glanced back twice and turned to ask Li Qiuping, who was sitting calmly beside her.

"Won't they... start fighting?"

Li Qiuping glanced at her. "Can Madam beat Master?"

Fubuki shook her head. "We can't beat them."

"Would you really be willing to hit your wife, sir?"

After thinking about it, Chuixue realized that given Li Chenbi's usual attitude towards Fan Liuer, let alone hitting her, he would have to coax her even if he was a little rough in bed.

This is what she has heard outside the tent these past few days; hearing it is believing.

He shook his head again, "I can't bear to part with it."

Li Qiuping looked away. "That settles it then. That's how real couples are; bickering and arguing makes their relationship better."

Chuixue scratched his head.

Really? That's quite troublesome; she suddenly doesn't want a husband anymore.
