Mr. Yan, wake up! Your wife isn't a delicate little flower.

"Brother Yan, wake up."

Su Jin stood next to Yan Mingchuan and handed him a wet wipe.

After wiping his face, Yan Mingchuan came back to his senses.

"Did I just fall asleep?" His voice was hoarse, filled with exhaustion.

"Drink some water first."

Su Jin poured a glass of water for Yan Mingchuan, a smile appearing on her face: "You were asleep, you didn't even feel me covering you with a blanket."

After neatly folding the quilt, Su Jin's eyes showed satisfaction.

Since Brother Yan's car accident, he has often been unable to sleep, which has led to his mental state being depressed.

Every time, he could see that Brother Yan persevered thanks to his strong willpower.

"That's good." Yan Mingchuan slept for a while and now felt much better.

I haven't had a good night's sleep in so many years.

Even taking a nap feels comfortable.

"By the way, what's up?"

Yan Mingchuan looked up at Su Jin.

"oops!"

Slapping her forehead, Su Jin quickly said, "Xiaoting is here. She came specifically to see you."

"Where?"

Yan Mingchuan tidied up the things on the table, and Su Jin took them from him, saying, "I'll wait for you in the living room."

"Okay, let's go."

As soon as the wheelchair glided into the living room, Mu Xiaoting ran over carrying a full bag of pastries: "Cousin, look! These are the pastries I made today, they're so delicious!"

"Just learned that?"

Yan Mingchuan frowned slightly.

The pastries in front of me were hardly exquisite; they were crooked and messy, and the cloyingly sweet aroma was overwhelming.

He, who doesn't like sweets to begin with, frowned deeply.

"Cousin, you should try some!"

Mu Xiaoting pouted, but her eyes were still bright and full of anticipation.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed from running, and she looked obedient as she held the pastries in her hands.

The polite refusal that was on the tip of her tongue eventually changed to, "Then I'll try it."

"Hey, I'll eat!"

Seeing that Yan Mingchuan was in a difficult situation, Su Jin decided to help him out.

"don't want!"

Mu Xiaoting turned her head with the plate in her hand: "You can't eat first, cousin, you eat first."

"Hey, I'm already being kind by eating you. You don't even look appetizing. Don't poison Brother Yan!"

Su Jin reached out, dissatisfied, to snatch the pastry away.

"No!"

Mu Xiaoting immediately squatted down, dodging Su Jin's outstretched hand.

"Bring it over here."

"They're here!"

Mu Xiaoting pushed Su Jin aside and placed the pastries in front of Yan Mingchuan: "Eat quickly!"

Yan Mingchuan picked up a piece of pastry with slightly burnt edges and put it in his mouth.

One bite, and it's like sugar melting in your mouth.

My mouth was full of sugar; it tasted awful.

Frowning, Yan Mingchuan met Mu Xiaoting's eyes and said helplessly, "It's too sweet, I can't eat it."

"Brother Yan doesn't eat sweets, don't make it hard for him!"

Su Jin easily snatched a pastry from Mu Xiaoting's hand and ate it in one bite.

"It's alright, I like sweets."

Su Jin's tone was full of affirmation as she praised, "Your pastry is great, and the red bean paste filling inside is very fragrant."

"Really?"

Mu Xiaoting instantly perked up, looking at Su Jin and pressing her for an answer: "Is it really delicious? You're not lying to me, are you? Is there anything that needs improvement?"

"It's actually pretty good!"

Su Jin's affirmative answer made Mu Xiaoting extremely happy.

Not far away, Yan Mingchuan sat in a wheelchair, glancing at Su Jin with a puzzled look, then at Mu Xiaoting.

His face immediately darkened.

"Cough cough."

Yan Mingchuan coughed twice, using this as a way to remind Su Jin.

Ignoring Yan Mingchuan's death stare, Su Jin said to Mu Xiaoting, "It's really delicious, I like it anyway, pack it up for me!"

"Great! It was originally for my cousin, but you're lucky!" Despite saying that, Mu Xiaoting happily packed it up for him.

Yan Mingchuan stared coldly at Su Jin, his voice icy: "What do you mean?"

"No, it's nothing."

Su Jin gave an awkward laugh: "Brother Yan, what are you saying?"

"Don't think I didn't see through you." Yan Mingchuan sneered. "Confess honestly."

"Um, Brother Yan... Xiaoting's pastries are really delicious, I didn't mean anything by it..."

Su Jin tried to brush off the topic in a lighthearted tone, but her eyes involuntarily drifted toward the kitchen.

"You're distracting when I talk to you."

Yan Mingchuan gently wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, his movements elegant.

"Snapped!"

The handkerchief was thrown at Su Jin: "Su Jin, Xiaoting has just started university, and it's the time when she's young and willful."

I don't want a man to tie her down.

After a pause, Yan Mingchuan looked up at Su Jin, his eyes devoid of any warmth: "Xiaoting is the darling of the Mu and Yan families. As her cousin, I have to keep an eye on her."

"Brother Yan, I know..." Su Jin's Adam's apple bobbed, and for the first time she felt that Yan Mingchuan was so terrifying.

"Alright."

Yan Mingchuan saw Mu Xiaoting walking over with a cake box in the distance, and said four words: "Mind your manners."

"Yes."

"What are you talking about?"

Mu Xiaoting handed the packed cake box to Su Jin: "Hey, Su Jin, I've packed it all for you, you have to eat it!"

"Thank you, Xiaoting."

Su Jin took the cake box and said hastily, "Um, Brother Yan, I still have some things to take care of at the company, so I'll head back now and pick you up tomorrow morning."

"Um."

Yan Mingchuan didn't say anything more and let him go.

Watching Su Jin's hasty retreat, Mu Xiaoting blinked in confusion: "What's wrong with Su Jin? Why is she walking so fast? Is she being chased by a ghost?"

Yan Mingchuan remained calm: "The company needs him to handle some matters. Do you want to go too?"

"No, I just want to be the little darling of the family. I don't want to deal with these things!"

Mu Xiaoting sat down on the sofa with a smile, while Yan Mingchuan smiled and said, "Okay, you can do whatever you want."

"Oh, right!"

Mu Xiaoting suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to look at Yan Mingchuan: "Cousin, what happened to the bad guy who bullied me last time?"

"You have no idea how miserable I am, I want him to go to jail!"

The thought of the man who robbed her in the underground parking garage made Mu Xiaoting extremely unhappy!

As soon as she got home, she immediately complained to her family.

Her parents were heartbroken.

"rest assured."

Yan Mingchuan patted Mu Xiaoting's head, his tone cold: "I have already investigated the information of the person who robbed you."

This isn't his first offense; he's killed someone before and is currently on trial. I won't let him leave the courtroom.

"snort!"

Mu Xiaoting's eyes widened, and she exclaimed angrily, "I'm going to hire the best legal team to keep him locked up inside!"

"How dare they kill someone? It's outrageous!"

If that beautiful woman hadn't saved me a few days ago, I would definitely be dead, right?

"rest assured."

Yan Mingchuan patted Mu Xiaoting's arm: "My company's legal department is already handling it."

"good!"

Mu Xiaoting clenched her fist: "Don't let him out! Don't give him a chance!"

"Hmm, who saved you back then?"

Yan Mingchuan asked curiously.

Mentioning this, Mu Xiaoting's face lit up with admiration: "She's an incredibly talented girl, her moves are so cool!"

Mu Xiaoting gestured, then added, "I've asked her to hang out for a few days, but she hasn't agreed."

"What's your name?"

Yan Mingchuan looked at Mu Xiaoting's pitiful appearance with amusement.

Looking at the contact name on her phone, Mu Xiaoting said, "Cheng Xihe!"

"What's your name?"

Yan Mingchuan paused and looked up at Mu Xiaoting.

Scratching her head, Mu Xiaoting said, "Cheng Xihe, isn't that a very nice name? It's quite rare!"

"Hmm, it sounds nice."

It's that same person again.

Yan Mingchuan glanced at the time: "Should you stay here tonight, or should I have the driver take you home?"

"Of course I'm here. I'll go to work with you tomorrow." Mu Xiaoting had a big smile on her face.

At Rose Manor, she always had a room, and even a large wardrobe.

Yan Mingchuan smiled and said, "Okay."
