The light from outside the window shone in and reflected in his pupils, resembling an unfathomable abyss, yet because it was tinged with two clusters of red, it looked like flames that would burn him to ashes.

Yan Xuxu thought she had misheard.

After a moment of stunned silence, her heart pounded wildly. "Jie Lanyuan, are you crazy?"

Xie Lanyuan curved his lips into a smile, lowered his head and kissed the beauty mark at the corner of her eye. "It's just a game where everyone gets what they want. You're not at a disadvantage."

Yan Xuxu never expected that he would say such a thing.

She hated Shen Mingzhou.

I also thought about getting revenge on him.

But that person could never be Xie Lanyuan.

"You two brothers are both bastards!"

Yan Xuxu pushed him away, her face flushed with anger and embarrassment.

He is about to get engaged to Miss Lin.

He also wants to make her his lover.

How is this any different from Shen Mingzhou's behavior?

Xie Lanyuan wasn't angry. Instead, he played with her messy hair as if he were teasing a pet. She tried to dodge, but he quickly turned his face back to her.

"Don't rush to answer me, I'll give you time to think it over."

He rubbed her lips with the pads of his fingers.

She had just been passionately kissed by him, her skin glistening with moisture, a tempting crimson, and he couldn't resist kissing her again.

Yan Xuxu was about to dodge.

Just then, Mu Nan's voice came from downstairs, "President Jie, everything you requested has been purchased."

Jie Lanyuan's lips gently brushed against hers.

The tender taste made him reluctant to leave.

But he didn't continue. He got off her and said, "I'll go get you something to eat."

"I don't need it, you can leave!"

Yan Xuxu grabbed a pillow and threw it at him.

Jie Lanyuan didn't dodge, letting the pillow hit him without saying a word, and went downstairs without stopping.

Lin Huan called at that moment.

"Xuxu, I'm so sorry, the roads are slippery from the rain, and there's been a car accident ahead, so the whole road is blocked. I might be late."

Yan Xuxu pursed her sore lips and breathed a sigh of relief. "You really don't need to come anymore, I'm much better now."

"Since I'm already here, I might as well take a look." Lin Huan's voice came through the sound of a ship's horn.

Yan Xuxu reminded her, "Then you should focus on driving and I won't say anything more."

She hung up the phone, lay on the bed with her eyes closed, her lips stinging, her mind filled with that kiss.

It was sucking and biting me just now, and it seems like my skin is broken.

His scent still lingered in the air, a captivating aroma of cedar mixed with a faint smell of tobacco. Suddenly, she remembered the words he had just spoken.

Be his woman...

He's insane!

Yan Xuxu was humiliated and bit her lip in anger. She accidentally touched her wound and gasped in pain.

A considerable commotion came from downstairs.

She heard him open the refrigerator, turn on the tap, and then hear the sound of cooking.

Soon, a rich aroma of porridge wafted over.

It also has a hint of sweetness.

It reminded him of the pumpkin, millet, and red date porridge he used to make for her when she was sick and didn't want to eat.

Thinking of the past, Yan Xuxu's emotions surged, and she was unable to calm down for a long time.

She didn't come to her senses until she heard footsteps.

When I looked up again, I saw Xie Lanyuan standing at the door, holding a bowl of steaming millet porridge.

His shirt sleeves were rolled up even higher, and there were watermarks on them, probably because his sleeves got wet while cooking.

I don't know when he changed his shoes, but he was wearing a brand new pair of men's house shoes.

Yan Xuxu remembers that her family did not prepare any men's items.

So where did these slippers come from?

Xie Lanyuan walked in, sat down by the bed, stirred the porridge with a spoon, and brought it to her lips when it was cool enough to drink. "The doctor said you have low blood sugar and need to replenish your nutrition. Drink some porridge first."

Yan Xuxu didn't even have the strength to sit up, let alone have an appetite.

She turned her face away, ignoring his attentiveness.

Xie Lanyuan leaned closer, his voice low and husky as he whispered in her ear, "Or do you want me to feed you personally?"

Yan Xuxu felt a burning sensation from his breath, gripped the sofa cover tightly with both hands, and the scene of him feeding her medicine in the past flashed through her mind.

My mind went completely blank.

"No……"

She came to her senses and tried to refuse.

The man had already drunk the porridge. His thin lips pressed heavily against hers, and he used his tongue to pry open her teeth, slowly feeding the porridge into her throat.

He swallowed back the words he hadn't yet uttered.

Yan Xuxu felt overwhelmed by his presence and had nowhere to hide. After he finished plastering, she suddenly pushed him away.

"I'll drink it myself."

"If only you had been this obedient earlier."

Jie Lanyuan chuckled and picked up the spoon again to feed her.

Yan Xuxu was worried that he would go crazy again, so she had no choice but to obediently drink it.

The millet porridge was cooked until thick and soft, and it was easy to swallow. With the addition of pumpkin and red dates, it was slightly sweet and delicious.

Yan Xuxu didn't have much of an appetite yet.

Suddenly my taste buds were awakened, and I took several sips in a row.

Soon, the bowl of millet porridge was empty.

Jie Lanyuan gently brushed the stray hairs from her forehead, his face showing a tenderness he himself didn't even realize. "Want more?"

After saying that, he gently brushed his fingertip across the corner of her lips, wiping away the porridge stains.

Yan Xuxu stiffened, turned her head, and said, "I need to rest now, you can leave now, right?"

Jie Lanyuan seemed not to hear him and said to himself, "I had Mu Nan buy your favorite dishes. What else would you like to eat? I'll make it."

"I said it's alright, please leave!"

Yan Xuxu didn't want to spend a second longer with him.

I just want to be alone and have some peace and quiet.

Seeing that he still wasn't leaving, she pulled the blanket over her face and shrank into the covers, trying to avoid seeing him.

Jie Lanyuan remained seated, his eyes holding an unfathomable depth. "What I just said wasn't a joke. Think it over carefully, and I'll wait for your reply."

He stood up, and the mattress that had collapsed under his weight suddenly bounced back up.

Yan Xuxu suddenly felt much less pressure.

As the footsteps faded into the distance, she finally lifted the covers and breathed a sigh of relief.

consider?

Unless she's out of her mind, she wouldn't agree to such an absurd proposal.

She heard noises coming from downstairs for a long time before it quieted down, and she started to feel sleepy.

She herself didn't know when she fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was completely dark.

She opened her eyes and, still half asleep, saw someone sitting by the bed.

Thinking that Jie Lanyuan hadn't left yet, she lost her temper and said, "Aren't you annoying?"

"Xuxu, are you dreaming?"

Lin Huan waved his hand in front of her eyes.

Yan Xuxu then realized that she had mistaken the person for someone else.

After drinking the porridge and regaining her strength, she took a nap and felt much better.

Sitting up in bed, she said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Huanhuan, I just thought..."

"You thought I was Jie Lanyuan?" Lin Huan continued her words.

Yan Xuxu was taken aback. "How did you know?"

Lin Huan said helplessly, "I could smell a man in the house as soon as I walked in."

"Shen Mingzhou is busy with his mistress and couldn't possibly be here. Besides Xie Lanyuan, I really can't think of anyone else."

Yan Xuxu did not speak.

Lin Huan knew this meant tacit agreement.

Seeing that she was feeling much better, I felt relieved. "I was thinking of making you something to eat, but I found some soup simmering in the kitchen. I guess it was made by Jie Lanyuan?"
