Her adoptive father passed away, her adoptive mother became paralyzed, and she was forced by her mother to marry a 'vegetable' man in place of her stepsister.
On their wedding night, ...
"No, nothing..."
Liu Xiangnan wanted to hide his embarrassment.
But Lu Xiangbei's face darkened, and his tone was a little serious, "You are obviously very uncomfortable, don't hide it from me."
“Hmm…”
Seeing him so serious, Liu Xiangnan felt a little aggrieved, and the pain in her waist made her want to cry.
Tears of grievance welled up in her eyes, wet and she looked at the cold and hard road heading north with a wronged look.
"If you hadn't given me three seconds to cover you with the blanket and then lie in your arms, I wouldn't have sprained my back..."
This little kitten-like appearance would instantly melt even the toughest man.
What's more, it was Lu Xiangbei who had been thinking about her for fifteen years.
He swallowed, forced down the animal nature that was slowly rising in his body, and leaned down with a gentle look on his face.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault, don't cry."
He apologized to her and gently kissed the tears from her eyes.
He also placed his hands on her waist and rubbed it gently.
"Is this the place?"
Liu Xiangnan shook his head, took his hand, and placed it on the place where his waist and hips met, "It's here."
Lu Xiangbei rubbed her gently and said, "Go to sleep. You'll feel better when you wake up."
"Didn't you just tell me something?"
Liu Xiangnan raised his head, scratching his heart as if it were scratched by a cat's claws: "If you don't tell me, I can't sleep."
She felt that Lu Xiangbei's tone just now seemed to indicate that he was about to reveal some big secret.
How can you not eat the big melon when it’s right in front of you?
Lu Xiangbei was silent for a while, then put his hand on Liu Xiangnan's shoulder, lay flat with her, and looked into her eyes.
"Actually, my leg is fine."
Liu Xiangnan didn't expect that Lu Xiangbei would actually confess to her. She thought this guy was hiding it from her.
She looked a little surprised, but didn't do anything extreme.
Because she already knew that Lu Xiangbei's leg was just pretending to be fine.
However, she became a little uneasy after what she said next.
"He's in a vegetative state, and he's pretending."
Liu Xiangnan:! ! !
She quickly sat up, a mixture of emotions flooding into her heart.
Some were happy that he was healthy, others were angry that he had deceived and teased them. In the end, all the emotions turned into confusion.
"Why are you confessing to me all of a sudden?"
If he didn't tell her, she really didn't know that he was even pretending to be a vegetable!
After all, she helped him wipe his body the night she first arrived at Lu's house.
How could he resist waking up when two strangers did some intimate acts when they met for the first time?
Lu Xiangbei also sat up with a sincere look on his face.
"Because I want to spend our whole lives with you."
Liu Xiangnan's confession made him feel that if he didn't confess the lies he had made up to Liu Xiangnan as soon as possible, it would be a big problem when Liu Xiangnan discovered the truth in the future.
He took the initiative to tell her about the matter. He didn't care whether she was angry, complaining or hating him. After all, she was now by his side and her heart belonged to him.
Since she confessed her love to him, she would be responsible for him for the rest of her life.
"The reason I pretended to be in a vegetative state was because after I saved you, a car did hit me. It turned out that the car was related to some of my uncles. To lure them off their guard and expose their true intentions, I pretended to be in a vegetative state and had disabled legs. I also took the opportunity to test Zheng Wenjie's feelings for me. It wasn't my intention to deceive you."
Tsk!
Liang Tian, the military advisor, was right!
Liu Xiangnan muttered to himself.
"So, are you going to find out who hired someone to hit you?"
Lu Xiangbei nodded.
"At first, the people behind the scenes pointed all the fingers at my second uncle. I also thought he had a problem, but later I found out that my third uncle also had a motive for committing the crime."
When Liu Xiangnan heard him mention Uncle Lu, he remembered something.
"The next morning after arriving at the Lu family, when Fourth Aunt gave me a gift, she spoke strangely. Do you want to investigate Fourth Aunt again?"
This was the first time Liu Xiangnan discussed family matters with him, and Lu Xiangbei asked her about the situation at that time.
Liu Xiangnan repeated that Aunt Lu wished her a son soon.
After that, she said a little embarrassedly, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just felt uncomfortable at the time, so I might have overthought it."
Lu Xiangbei chuckled softly, "Vegetative patients actually have reactions, but they just can't release them. However..."
He changed the subject: "Since you felt uncomfortable at the time, then you felt uncomfortable. She might have released some malicious intent. Don't worry, I will send someone to investigate thoroughly."
"Um."
Liu Xiangnan nodded and said, "It's better for you to be cautious. I'm also worried that something might happen to you and I'm worried about you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiangbei carefully held the person in his arms.
"Are you really in love with me? You're worried about me?"
Liu Xiangnan blushed and pushed him: "You're so annoying, I want to sleep!"
"Aren't you mad at me?"
"Didn't you say you didn't lie to me? Why should I be angry?"
The plan was made on the day of the car accident. Her marriage to Lu Xiangbei was a few months later. If she was angry, it was only because he deliberately asked her to help him take a shower and dress him every day.
Lu Xiangbei probably knew the crux of the matter and whispered in her ear, "From your tone, you're angry. It's okay. Once we catch the real culprit, I'll dress and bathe you every day, carry you around, do whatever you want, and spoil you to the heavens. Okay?"
“Hmph.”
Liu Xiangnan felt sweet in his heart, but pretended to be angry.
But when Lu Xiangbei's hand started to move down from her shoulder, she was afraid that Lu Xiangbei would torment her again, so she spoke quickly.
“Okay, okay!”
Then, she buried her head in his arms and acted like a coward.
Lu Xiangbei was amused by her behavior and then gently smoothed her hair with tenderness in his eyes.
"Go to sleep."
He first took off the amulet from her body, and scales appeared on her arms. There was a white light on her fingertips behind her head. In just a moment, Liu Xiangnan fell into a deep sleep.
The discomfort in her waist was also eliminated by his magic.
Listening to Liu Xiangnan's breathing in his arms, Lu Xiangbei pursed his lips, his eyes filled with contemplation.
The issues with the legs and the vegetative state have been resolved, but how can he confess the fact that he is a thousand-year-old snake without scaring her?
Have a child before confessing?
That’s not good either, that’s the worst option.
It seems that we can only place our hopes on that person.
When the sun was high in the sky, Liu Xiangnan slowly opened his eyes. He thought his body would be sore, but unexpectedly he felt relaxed!
She must be feeling extra safe sleeping in her own home!
But what about the road heading north?
Just after confessing that his leg problem was gone, he started wandering around without avoiding people?
