Chapter 47 His behavior could be considered arrogant.

Lu Yanchuan's long, narrow eyes were lowered, and in his gaze was Shen Li's fair profile.

He had known her for many years; they went to the same middle school.

However, Lu Yanchuan was a popular figure at school. He was tall, handsome, from a wealthy family, good at basketball, and had excellent grades.

During their school days, boys like this would be the center of attention.

Shen Li was just an inconspicuous female student, and a sports student at that, who spent all her time practicing judo in the gymnasium.

They either wore oversized school uniforms or loose judo uniforms, with their hair tied in a ponytail and no makeup.

Compared to Lu Yanchuan's widespread fame, Shen Li at that time could only be described as insignificant.

Lu Yanchuan seemed to have never looked at Shen Li so closely before.

Looking at her fair profile, her small and pert nose, her long eyelashes, and her lips that were slightly pouting as she blew air.

At such a distance, it was as if one could clearly see even the short downy hairs on her skin.

She seems...to be quite pretty.

As Lu Yanchuan gazed at her profile, this thought suddenly popped into his mind.

She raised her hand, held up a long, slender index finger, and gently poked her fair cheek.

"?" Shen Li looked puzzled.

Lu Yanchuan remained silent.

Shen Li looked at him for a few seconds, then turned back to continue applying the medicine.

Lu Yanchuan paused for a moment, then reached out and poked Shen Li's cheek.

“???” Shen Li looked at him, wondering what was going through this man’s mind.

I just wonder what's wrong with this man?

He had been so sinister and domineering before, with sharp edges, as if he wanted nothing more than to fight her in bed and not rest until he caused a criminal case.

Now he's acting like a child again, constantly poking her face.

Are you kidding me?

Shen Li was too lazy to argue with him, and felt sorry for him because of his rash.

I continued to apply the medicine to him.

"Wait until the ointment is absorbed before you get dressed." Shen Li threw the used cotton swab into the trash can. "I'm leaving now."

The man moved swiftly, blocking her path.

"Where to?" His voice was still a little hoarse, probably because Cheng Shuo had mentioned earlier that he had signs of laryngeal edema due to allergies.

Shen Li: "At the airport, I've booked my ticket and need to check in."

I was originally planning to have breakfast before going to the airport, but since this has caused a delay, and considering the distance and traffic conditions to the airport, I'll just find a restaurant at the airport to eat something.

Lu Yanchuan frowned upon hearing this, his voice becoming even hoarse, the last syllable almost inaudible, "I've backed out. I brought you to Haicheng, do you think I'd let you go back on your own?"

Shen Li wanted to politely decline, but judging from Lu Yanchuan's expression, if she refused, things might not end well.

Seeing his mottled clothes again, I really didn't want to fight or cause trouble with the wounded soldier.

Shen Li sighed, looking down at her phone and muttering, "It's taking off soon, how can we back out now?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yanchuan bent down and leaned closer to look at her phone screen.

His tall figure suddenly bent down in front of her, making Shen Li appear very petite, as if she were enveloped in his arms.

Shen Li could almost smell the cool scent of the ointment on his body.

Lu Yanchuan squinted to see the amount on the flight ticket order page on her screen.

He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Then just consider it as paying for a commercial airline ticket and enjoying the service of a private jet."

Zhou Yan came in and informed Lu Yanchuan of the exact time the plane would take off.

"Change your clothes, have something to eat with your wife, and then head to the airport. The timing will be perfect."

Lu Yanchuan reached for his clothes, but seeing the ointment he had just applied to his body, he put his shirt down again after holding it in his hand.

"She told me to wait until the ointment dries before wearing it. Have room service bring some food to the room," Lu Yanchuan instructed Zhou Yan.

"Okay." Zhou Yan looked at Shen Li, "Is there anything you'd like to eat, Madam?"

Shen Li's gaze swept over the trash can in the corner, and she paused for a moment. "Let's eat seafood. We haven't had a proper seafood meal since we came to Haicheng."

I only ate some seafood porridge at Grandma Lu Yanchuan's house.

Zhou Yan was taken aback by these words, wondering if his wife had some kind of conflict with President Lu and was saying this on purpose. Otherwise, President Lu would be suffering from an allergic reaction all over his body.

Is it inappropriate to eat seafood? Isn't that a bit inconsiderate?

Zhou Yan didn't say anything immediately, but glanced in Lu Yanchuan's direction and saw that President Lu's expression was quite interesting.

If you were to say he was happy, his slightly raised chin and somewhat arrogant demeanor certainly didn't suggest happiness.

But if you say he's unhappy, his tone doesn't sound like he's completely unhappy.

Lu Yanchuan snorted, "Hmph, so now you realize you haven't had a proper seafood meal since coming to Haicheng? Who told you to suddenly change rooms last night?"

Although Zhou Yan couldn't tell whether President Lu was happy or unhappy, it didn't seem like he was angry because his wife wasn't considerate enough.

To be honest, this state is more like... Zhou Yan thought of a popular term online, which should be called—tsundere?

It wasn't that Shen Li didn't want to argue with him, but people always feel sorry for the weak, especially when they see the mottled red marks and bloodstains all over his body.

I still feel a little reluctant.

It conveyed a sense of "let it go, don't bother with the wounded soldier."

Before Zhou Yan could even offer a few words of mediation, the situation escalated.

Lu Yanchuan then said to him, "Tell the restaurant to send up some seafood. Don't they have those 'Sea Breeze Fishing Boats'? Have them send one up."

The "Sea Breeze Fishing Boat" is the hotel restaurant's signature dish, which is actually a variety of fresh fish, shrimp, crab, and shellfish sashimi, presented in a boat-shaped container and decorated very beautifully.

Even Shen Li knew about this, because it was printed on the promotional banner for the restaurant in the hotel lobby, so it was hard not to see it.

"Okay." Zhou Yan prepared to make the arrangements.

Lu Yanchuan added, "Oh, and also a clam omelet."

Shen Li suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Lu Yanchuan.

Zhou Yan assumed he wanted to eat it himself and, somewhat worried, advised, "President Lu, your current health condition probably prevents you from eating this."

“I’m not eating it.” Lu Yanchuan gestured with his chin toward Shen Li and then explained to Zhou Yan, “She just loves this kind of oily stuff.”

"Okay." Zhou Yan then went to make the arrangements.

Shen Li didn't speak, she just looked at Lu Yanchuan.

My feelings are complicated, and for a moment I really don't know how to describe my emotions toward this man.

Not long ago, the two were on the verge of a fight.

At this moment, however, the man still remembered to tell her that he liked those oily snacks.

After Zhou Yan left, the room fell silent.

Feeling awkward and speechless, Shen Li simply went to the bar in the living room and fiddled with the semi-automatic coffee machine in the guest room.

The coffee grinder hummed, and the rich aroma of coffee filled the room.

Before long, Shen Li brought out two cups of coffee.

Lu Yanchuan sat at the dining table, no longer shirtless, but the difference from being shirtless wasn't that significant.

He was wearing a bathrobe, which was open at the waist.

What was once a complete and unobstructed view has now become partially obscured. To be fair, this current state seems to possess a greater tension.

As soon as Shen Li put down her coffee at the table, Lu Yanchuan pushed the tablet computer in front of her. "Here, take a look."
