Warm medicine emits fragrance

Before two months had even passed, Fan Liuer couldn't take it anymore. That night, she deliberately stayed awake and waited in her room.

Although autumn had begun, the heat of the weather had not changed much. Li Chenbi still went out after sunset every day and did not return home until late at night.

The first thing he did after returning home was to go to Fan Liuer's room, carry the sleeping Fan Liuer upstairs, and then start eating.

Fan Liuer felt that things couldn't go on like this. More than half of the two months that Yang Niangzi had mentioned had passed, and Li Chenbi showed no signs of getting tired of it or stopping.

Instead, he went further and further, and his games became increasingly elaborate. If Fan Liuer could stay in his room for longer, he probably would have kept her locked in bed all day long, never letting her get out of bed.

She had considered discussing it and resisting, but she never found an opportunity.

During the day, Li Chenbi was in a bad mood because of the hot weather, so Fan Liuer didn't dare to talk to him. Besides, he seemed to know what she was going to say and didn't give her a chance to speak at all.

Those who have done it know that it's tiring, but... well... it can also be quite comfortable.

Once it started, Fan Liuer... well, she wasn't so determined to refuse anymore.

She went to bed early that night, and when she woke up she was already lying on Li Chenbi's bed, so she didn't have a chance to talk to him.

She had been thinking of finding an opportunity to have a fight, since Li Chenbi would be angry and wouldn't pay attention to her, which would give her a chance to rest and catch her breath.

Once he's calmed down, then go and comfort him.

But there was no opportunity to argue. Although Li Chenbi was a bit domineering in that area, he was really good to her.

She's incredibly generous; her current savings are more than enough to buy a two-courtyard house, or even a better location.

Therefore, she could only discuss this matter with Li Chenbi when it was cooler at night and when he was in a less bad mood.

Li Chenbi was simply too hard to wait for; it was already past midnight, and he still hadn't returned.

Fan Liuer was so sleepy that she had already started to doze off.

Siqing yawned and advised, "Madam Fan, why don't we stop waiting tonight and go to sleep?"

"No, if you're sleepy, go to sleep. You don't need to wait with me." Fan Liuer opened her eyes, trying hard to fight off sleepiness.

She's waited so long; if she gives up now, wouldn't all her waiting have been for nothing?

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Siqing gave up and fell asleep on the table shortly afterward.

Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Fan Liuer felt even sleepier.

She simply stood up, lit a lantern, and decided to go outside for a walk to shake off her drowsiness.

As soon as he stepped out of the house, he saw a group of people coming from the distant veranda.

Li Chenbi has returned.

Fan Liuer was overjoyed and went straight to greet her.

Li Chenbi walked along with a furrowed brow. The faint scent of perfume wafting towards his nose made him feel uncomfortable, and all he wanted to do was take a bath to get rid of the smell.

Just as I reached the corner, a figure suddenly darted out.

"Second Master, you're finally back." It was Fan Liuer with a beaming smile.

Li Chenbi was somewhat surprised to see her. "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Fan Liuer moved closer to him, "I've been waiting for you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Chenbi took a step back, his expression somewhat unnatural. "Go back to your room first. I'll come find you after I've finished showering."

Fan Liuer didn't want him to come looking for her again later, so she naturally refused to leave. "Second Master, I have something to discuss with you." She approached again.

Li Chenbi took another step back, seemingly avoiding her.

Fan Liuer found it strange. In the past, Li Chenbi would always pull her close without her having to take the initiative, and she would always stick close to him.

What's wrong with me today? It's like I've seen a ghost.

"Second Master, why are you avoiding me?"

"Why would I avoid you? I drank quite a bit today, and I smell strongly of alcohol. I'm afraid it will bother you. Go back inside and wait for me, okay?"

Fan Liuer was skeptical, "Then... alright."

As she spoke, she slowly turned around.

Li Chenbi let out a slight sigh. When Fan Liuer came closer, his first thought was that she would be angry if she smelled the perfume on him.

Although he did nothing, it was just that a high-ranking official from above liked to go to such places, and in order to win over this official, he had no choice but to accompany him.

Although Fan Liuer had no right or qualification to be angry, she was neither his wife nor his concubine. Even if he had other women, it was none of her business to be angry.

But subconsciously, he didn't want her to smell it.

Fan Liuer had a feeling that something was wrong with Li Chenbi, so she pretended to turn around, and then took advantage of Li Chenbi's relaxed vigilance to suddenly turn around and move closer to him.

"By the way, Second Master, you'd better hurry up." As she spoke, her face was already pressed against Li Chenbi's chest.

It definitely has a strong smell of alcohol, and also a hint of cosmetics, and not just one, but a mixture of many different scents.

Li Chenbi didn't expect her to turn around suddenly. He didn't have time to dodge, and because of her approaching movement, his body reacted naturally, and he supported her with both hands.

By the time he realized it, it was too late to push the person away.

Fan Liuer didn't guess why Li Chenbi was avoiding her. After smelling the alcohol on him, she believed him instead.

"Second Master, how much have you drunk? You definitely smell strongly of alcohol." She stepped back from Li Chenbi.

Seeing that she had no other reaction, Li Chenbi breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a little uncomfortable.

He didn't want her to misunderstand that he had gone out to see other women, but the woman didn't react at all when she smelled the perfume on him.

After staring at Fan Liuer for a couple of seconds, Li Chenbi stopped rushing to take a bath and asked in a strange tone, "Besides the smell of alcohol, didn't you smell anything else?"

Fan Liuer thought he was testing her sense of smell, so she honestly answered, "I smell it, and there's the scent of rouge and face powder. Hmm... it shouldn't be just one girl, right? Seven or eight?"

Her expression was normal, even a little smug, at her own keen sense of smell.

Li Chenbi felt a tightness in his chest, and his voice became much deeper.

"and then?"

Fan Liuer blinked, and then what?

What's next?

Could it be that the owner of these cosmetics is either a woman or a man?

She had heard that some people were into homosexuality, so could it be... that Li Chenbi also had that preference?

The complex expression in her eyes made Li Chenbi feel even more suffocated.

He was overthinking things; he was even worried that the person would be unhappy.

But instead of being upset, he started gossiping about him and others in his mind.

Li Chenbi was furious, so furious that his lungs felt like they were about to explode.

"Fan Liuer, you're truly amazing!"

He left angrily after saying that.

Fan Liuer stood there, somewhat bewildered.

Is he angry?

Why?

She hasn't even said anything yet.

But soon she began to feel secretly pleased.

Li Chenbi was angry, which suited her just the way she wanted it!

She can rest for a few days.
