The Wife of the Wealthy Family Is Fierce and Cute.

Li Yan didn’t answer again.

Chu Luo didn’t mind. She took out her phone to buy computer-related books.

The car drove through the Imperial Capital at midnight. Without the congestion of the day, the journey was smooth.

Beside her was the sound of rapid typing on the keyboard. Chu Luo selected books for a while and realized that they were all simple ones, so she exited the online bookstore and prepared to talk to Professor Wu tomorrow.

She suddenly thought of the teaching video that Professor Wu had sent her and decided to download it. While she was at it, she tilted her head to look at Li Yan’s laptop.

What she saw made her eyes widen in curiosity.

“Are you writing a program?”

As expected, the other party didn’t answer. She moved over to take a closer look.

However, just as she moved closer, she felt an unusually hot temperature coming from his body.

“Why are you so hot?”

Chu Luo quickly reached out to take his pulse.

However, her hand was grabbed by his large palm.

Li Yan’s strength was especially great, so great that it felt like he was crushing her wrist.

“Tsk…” Chu Luo took a cold breath in pain and warned, “Li Yan, what are you doing? If you don’t let go, I won’t be polite to you!”

Li Yan acted as if he didn’t hear anything and increased his strength.

Chu Luo finally realized that something was wrong with him. She quickly struck his acupoints.

In the next moment, Li Yan actually unsealed his acupoint and increased his strength again.

This time, Chu Luo raised her guard. Although she was surprised that he could unseal his own acupoints so quickly, she also realized that something was wrong with him.

“You actually forcefully sped up the progress of practicing inner cultivation? Don’t you know that going beyond the limit is as bad as falling short?!”

It was obvious that this man couldn’t control the internal energy in his body, and that ball of energy had turned against him.

Chu Luo didn’t hesitate to throw a handful of medicinal powder at him, making him faint.

At this moment, the chauffeur, who was driving in front, suddenly braked.

Chu Luo looked up in dissatisfaction and realized that this person was actually Li Yan’s head of bodyguards.

“Miss Chu, what did you do to Master?” Qin Ming’s entire body was tense, his tone carrying a dangerous aura.

Chu Luo snorted. “This person almost crushed my wrist. I’m just returning the favor.”

“You…”

“Shut up and drive properly.”

Chu Luo’s voice suddenly became stern, and her powerful aura stunned Qin Ming for a moment.

He looked at Chu Luo warily through the rearview mirror.

Chu Luo ignored him and grabbed Li Yan’s wrist to take his pulse. Indeed, there was a ball of energy raging inside this person.

Qin Ming knew that there was something wrong with Master today. Seeing Chu Luo take his pulse, his tense body finally relaxed a little.

He continued to drive.

After a while, he couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Chu, what’s wrong with Master?”

“He couldn’t control his internal energy.” When Chu Luo answered him, she let go of Li Yan’s wrist. However, she looked at her bruised wrist and, still feeling mad, pinched the back of his hand hard again.

Qin Ming, who had been watching the two of them in the rearview mirror: “…”

Qin Ming kept reminding himself: “Miss Chu is still useful to Master. Don’t touch her. I didn’t see her acting disrespectfully to Master.”

Only then did Qin Ming ask, “Miss Chu, what should we do now?”

“Cool him down.” Since Chu Luo’s anger had yet to subside, she thought about teaching this person a lesson. “Get someone to prepare lots of ice cubes and a large tub.”

“What is Miss Chu trying to do?” Qin Ming raised his guard again. He had a feeling that Chu Luo didn’t have good intentions.

The corners of Chu Luo’s lips curled up, but she quickly suppressed it and said seriously, “His body is so hot, so he needs to cool down. The usual cooling methods won’t work, he needs to use ice. Otherwise, his brain might get burned and he might become an idiot.”

Startled, Qin Ming quickly used his communicator and ordered his men to prepare those things.

When the car drove back to Chu Luo’s residence, everything was already prepared, but…

“Why did you put the wooden bucket in my room?”

Qin Ming replied matter-of-factly, “Miss Chu has to watch over Master tonight.”

“Then what will you be doing?”

“I’ll be watching over him too.”

“…”

Thus, following that, Li Yan was soaked in ice water to cool him down. Qin Ming sat at the side and watched over him without blinking while Chu Luo took the game console and formed a team with [Carefree Wanderer] and his friends to level up her account.

After a night of bloody storm on the game, Chu Luo was very satisfied that her account had risen from level 60 to level 75.

Worried that Chu Luo’s body wouldn’t be able to take it after an entire night of gaming, Tang Zhiyun and the others took turns to persuade her to go and rest for a few hours before coming back in the afternoon. Coincidentally, they had class in the morning too.

Chu Luo exited from the game and looked at Li Yan, who had his eyes tightly closed in the bathtub. When she saw that his hair and eyelashes were covered with a layer of frost, her anger finally dissipated.

“I say…”

Just as Chu Luo opened her mouth, Qin Ming, who had been sitting straight all night, suddenly turned to look at her. “Miss Chu, how is my master now?”

Chu Luo bit back the words she was about to say and walked over to touch Li Yan’s forehead. The temperature had dropped drastically.

She said, “Get him out and put him on the bed first. I’ll insert silver needles on him.”

“Okay.” Qin Ming stood up and walked over. Ignoring the water in the bucket, he put Li Yan’s arm on his shoulder and brought him out.

Chu Luo quickly pointed outside the door. “Put him next door.”

Qin Ming nodded and carried Li Yan out the door.

The room next to hers had long been cleaned up.

Seeing that Qin Ming was about to put Li Yan, who was covered in water, on the bed, Chu Luo quickly stopped him. “His body is covered in water. Help him wipe it and change his clothes.”

“No.” Qin Ming’s expression instantly became serious. “Master doesn’t like people getting close to him. The most I can do is carry him over.”

“…”

When Chu Luo heard this, her temples couldn’t help but throb. She pointed at Li Yan, who was wearing a singlet and pants, and said angrily, “I can’t do anything to him with him in this state. Besides, he’s not even awake. What are you worried about?”

Qin Ming stood there without moving or speaking.

Chu Luo controlled her urge to beat him up and glared at him angrily. “Since you don’t dare to do anything, just leave. Seeing you disrupts my mood.”

Qin Ming remained silent and stationary.

“Are you leaving or not? If not, I won’t insert silver needles on him anymore. I’ll just let him stay like this forever.”

Qin Ming looked at the unconscious Li Yan and clenched his fists. After a while, he nodded at Chu Luo. “I’ll guard the door.”

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door.

Chu Luo looked at Qin Ming’s back and muttered, “Indeed, like master, like subordinate.”

She then walked to the bed and quickly took out a set of silver needles from the cloth bag. She set them on the bedside table and started to put needles on Li Yan.

After inserting the silver needles, Chu Luo even asked Phoenix to guide his inner strength before waking him up.

Li Yan frowned before he even opened his eyes.

He quickly opened his eyes and immediately found himself looking into those big, beautiful eyes filled with stars.

“What did you do to me?”

His voice had become hoarse from the icy water he had been soaked in for several hours, making it even more low and magnetic.

After asking this, he looked down at where he was and felt the clothes sticking to his body. His frown deepened.

Chu Luo widened her big, innocent eyes and said, “I was saving you.”

Li Yan sat up in bed and suddenly coughed.

Chu Luo felt a little guilty and subconsciously took a small step back.

Li Yan glanced at her and said in a low and hoarse voice, “Call Qin Ming in.”

Chu Luo nodded at him and turned to call for help by the door.

Qin Ming was standing outside the door like a wooden stake.

Chu Luo said, “Li Yan wants you to go in.”

After saying that, she walked towards her room.

Chu Luo wasn’t tired after not sleeping for the entire night. She washed up, changed her clothes, and prepared to go downstairs to eat.

Coincidentally, the door beside her opened at the same time and Li Yan walked out.

Li Yan was already dressed in clean clothes. When he came out, he coughed a few more times.

Chu Luo suggested kindly, “You seem to have caught a cold. Why don’t you stay inside?”

“Why did I catch a cold?” Li Yan looked at her with his deep eyes.

Chu Luo thought of the bruise on her wrist and deliberately raised it to show it to him. “Isn’t it obvious why you caught a cold? If I hadn’t let you cool down, your brain would have been turned into mush. As for the bruise on my wrist, how do you explain it?”

Chu Luo’s skin was originally tender and fair. After being clutched like that, a large bruise had appeared, looking especially glaring.

Li Yan looked down at the bruise on her wrist and narrowed his eyes.

He walked towards her.

Chu Luo looked up at him.

…

“Sorry.”

“…”

Chu Luo blinked in surprise when she suddenly heard the apology. She wasn’t used to it. She retracted her gaze and said, “Since you’ve apologized, I’ll forgive you. But I might not be able to teach you acupoint tapping techniques for the next few days.”

She wanted to spend all her time on the qualifying competition.

“Mm.”

Chu Luo didn’t expect him to be so easygoing.

Li Yan stopped talking and turned to walk towards the stairs. After taking two steps, he saw that Chu Luo didn’t follow him. He stopped and tilted his head to look at her. “Come down and eat.”

Chu Luo came back to her senses and followed him downstairs.

It was still early after breakfast. Chu Luo called Professor Wu and asked if he was free today.

Professor Wu told her, “I happen to have nothing to do at home this morning. If Xiao Chu wants to ask questions, you can come over.”

Chu Luo responded happily and went back to the bedroom to pack her things.

At this moment, Qin Ming walked over and said to Li Yan, “Master, the Wei family is outside. They want to see you.”

The Wei family didn’t know that the person here was Li Yan. They only felt that the masked man they’d met at that time must have a complicated identity. In the past few days, they had been trying to find out more about him. They probably came directly because they didn’t manage to find out anything.

Li Yan’s expression was cold. “Chase them away.”

“Yes.”

Once Qin Ming had left, Li Yan started coughing again. After coughing, he narrowed his eyes and looked towards the staircase. His gaze was deep, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

“Little thing, seems like you’re very happy to take revenge for your personal gain.”
