After the man changed his clothes and entered the room again, he could hear the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.

He stood guard at the bathroom door, afraid that she would take too long in the bath after drinking and pass out inside.

After waiting for 20 minutes, the woman didn't come out. He thought about it and still didn't knock on the bathroom door.

She should always be given some time to digest her emotions.

He walked back to the sofa and was about to sit down when he suddenly saw her cell phone screen light up and new messages scrolled across the screen.

The name "Shen Zhan" appeared prominently at the top of the message.

The man paused as he was about to sit down, his eyes fixed on the phone, his eyes slightly narrowed.

After a long silence, he glanced at the bathroom door and sat down on the sofa calmly.

After the woman tidied herself, she came out of the bathroom wrapped in her nightgown and picked up the phone on the table out of habit.

Picking up the phone, Shen Zhan's message fell into her eyes.

Shen Zhan: [Qianqian, I've checked my body, my head is much better, don't worry.]

After receiving this message, Lin Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

She felt guilty whenever she thought about Shen Zhan being beaten by a man because he was with her.

Now that I know he is fine, I feel relieved.

Li Yanxiu took in Lin Qian's relieved expression, his brows furrowed and his eyes slightly narrowed.

Lin Qian thought for a moment before typing a word, and then she heard the man's cold and low voice, "Didn't you say you were tired?"

Lin Qian paused while tapping the screen. She glanced at the man sitting on the sofa and said calmly, "Go to sleep now."

But she continued to type a sentence on the screen, she sincerely apologized to Shen Zhan, "I'm sorry, Master Shen, I have caused you trouble today."

After sending the message, she did not ask Li Yanxiu, but walked straight to the bed.

"Good night."

She did not wait for the man to fall asleep with her as she had done before, and regardless of whether the man responded or not, she lifted the quilt and lay down with her back to the man.

Li Yanxiu looked at the thin figure lying on the bed with his back to him.

After a moment, he whispered, "Go to sleep, good night."

Lin Qian tried hard to suppress the bitterness in her heart and closed her eyes.

My head hurts so much.

She thought that without the man's arms, she would toss and turn and be unable to sleep, just like usual.

However, to her surprise, she fell into a deep sleep very quickly.

Li Yanxiu looked at the woman's steady and even breathing. He got up quietly and went to the study next door.

In the study.

The man closed his eyes and gently pinched his brows. From the mobile phone placed beside him came the voice of Zhou He reporting that he was taking Young Master Shen to the hospital.

"Boss Li, I have taken Young Master Shen to the hospital for a thorough "checkup" and have now sent him home."

"According to your instructions, every part of the body was checked. Even a gastrointestinal endoscopy was done, and Master Shen drank a laxative..."

Zhou He couldn't hold back his laughter, on the way home...

Li Yanxiu lowered his eyes and looked at him. He immediately cleared his throat and returned to normal.

But this is so funny.

But Young Master Shen deserves it.

Why don’t you touch any other woman? Why do you dare to touch Tai Sui?

Don't even consider your own weight.

This is a light punishment for daring to compete with Mr. Li for a woman.

Li Yanxiu continued to close his eyes and rest, and said "hmm" softly.

This matter has come to an end.

He reported this incident and continued to report another shocking event to the man.

At this point, he hesitated, "Uncle-in-law...Uncle-in-law may not be of the Lu family's bloodline."

Li Yanxiu paused as he was pinching his brows.

He opened his eyes and looked at Zhou He on the phone screen, and asked seriously, "What do you mean?"

After all, this concerns his sister's happiness, and he also wants to know the story between him and Lin Qian.

Zhou He said, "It's just speculation now, because my uncle was lost when he was a child and was found when he was seven years old. The details need further investigation."

Upon hearing this, Li Yanxiu, who had been lying on the backrest, sat up slightly.

After a pause, he said seriously, "Continue investigating and report any progress to me in a timely manner."

Zhou He received the order and responded respectfully, "Okay, I have finished what I want to report. If there is nothing else, I will not disturb your rest."

"Ah."

After hanging up the video, he leaned back in his seat and relaxed.

Lin Qian was in the master bedroom and Li Yanxiu was in the study next door, with only a wall between them.

But he felt that after this afternoon, the woman became much more distant from him.

He was the only one in the study, and everything around him was quiet.

The words Shen Zhan said to him popped up in his mind again.

[You don't love Lin Qian at all. You only like her physically. She is not suitable for you. Your family will never agree to you marrying her. There is no way there will be a good outcome between you two.]

[Brother Yan Xiu, if you don’t really love Lin Qian, give her to me! ]

There was an unknown fire in his heart.

She was his now.

She could only be his.

Don't allow others to pry.

As for Lin Qian, he admitted that his purpose in meeting her at the beginning was not pure.

But after getting along with each other, he felt that there were differences between them.

Compared to Jiang Ning's fiery passion, Lin Qian was like a clear spring. He liked her purity and cleanliness, her softness and gentleness, her body, and even more so the love in her eyes for him.

He enjoyed the physical feeling the woman brought him, and enjoyed her gentleness and obedience even more, and he liked the look of passion in her eyes even more.

Li Yanxiu admitted that he liked Lin Qian very much.

But this is not love. He hasn't loved anyone for a long time, and he won't fall in love with anyone again.

Maybe, after despair, you will never love again.

If you don't love again, there's no point in marrying anyone.

He never thought there was a future between them.

But tonight, the moment the door was opened, he looked at Lin Qian standing at the door with red eyes, full of grievance and disappointment, and when he saw her back running out, he had to admit that he didn't care as much as he imagined.

Li Yanxiu became even more annoyed by his own conflicted thoughts.

He lit cigarettes one after another, with a complicated look in his eyes. All the smoke floated in the air, and the room was filled with the lingering smell of nicotine.

He waited until he had finished a pack of cigarettes and the smell of smoke had dissipated before he stood up and walked towards the bedroom.

In the room, seeing Lin Qian sleeping peacefully on the bed, his restless heart finally calmed down a little.

He lay beside her and hugged her from behind as usual.

Maybe he smoked too much, the woman moved a little, frowned, and moved to the side.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how late it is, the woman will wait for him to come back. When facing the man's intimacy, she will let him do it and cooperate with him, no matter what the time.

But tonight, she refused for the first time and even moved her body away without making a sound. For the first time, a gap appeared between the two of them.
