She didn't want Xiao Jinhan to get hurt again.

Full of protective instincts.

Xiao Jinhan was not in pain, and his legs felt much lighter, so he had not reached the point of despair.

Even when his leg was swollen and red, and he was at serious risk of amputation, he thought that he had lived a fulfilling life, that he had everything and lacked nothing, and that he could live a good life even with a missing leg.

They are able to take good care of Tang Yaoyao.

Things haven't gotten to the worst point yet. His leg is still there, and everything is going according to plan. It's not bad.

Xiao Jinhan wasn't worried, unlike Tang Yaoyao who was nervous.

Did I sleep for a long time?

"A few hours is not too bad, but I was very worried because of your leg injury." She nestled her head affectionately in his hand. His palm was large with a thin layer of calluses. It wasn't rough, but it made her feel very safe.

Xiao Jinhan kept her in one position so she could lean against him: "I'm worried I'll have to have my leg amputated..."

"Pah, pah, pah! Can't you say something nice? Why do you always say the worst things?" Tang Yaoyao was anxious. This was the thing she couldn't accept the most. It wasn't that she couldn't accept it herself, but she was afraid that Xiao Jinhan would suffer because of his physical disability.

Nobody wants to be disabled; those who can persevere are courageous.

She was afraid that Xiao Jinhan would lose this courage.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Xiao Jinhan, but she just didn't dare to take the risk.

Xiao Jinhan gazed at her with his deep eyes, and seeing a hint of tears in her eyes, he immediately understood her feelings. He pursed his lips slightly and said softly, "If I really had my leg amputated and became disabled, needing someone to take care of me wherever I went, would you still like me like that?"

He realized that going that far would cause Tang Yao trouble, and he didn't actually want Tang Yao to be unhappy.

"What are you talking about?" Tang Yaoyao rolled her eyes and covered his mouth to stop him from talking nonsense. "Are you going through early menopause? The words coming out of your mouth are not auspicious at all. Spit it out!"

"..." Xiao Jinhan stared at her with his deep eyes and said seriously, "You still haven't answered me."

Hearing this, Tang Yaoyao's heart clenched, as if she were facing the amputation of his limb. She was certainly in pain, but she was definitely not the one who was in the most pain. She pouted and said, "Then I, Tang Yaoyao, will never leave you in this life!"

Xiao Jinhan suddenly laughed, stroked her angry and flushed cheeks, and said in the same tone as her, "Pah, pah, pah."

Tang Yaoyao said, "If that were to happen, you would be very upset. I don't want to see you like that. I just hope that you, Fourth Brother, can be happy and joyful. I will protect you and make sure you live a healthy life."

"Fool? Shouldn't I be the one saying this to you?" Xiao Jinhan said this, but in his heart he was secretly delighted and warmed.

Tang Yaoyao laughed again: "Who told you to be my fiancé, the man I love? Don't you know that my greatest skill is protecting my own!"

Xiao Jinhan, who had been a little tired, was soothed by her words. He wrapped his large arm around her waist and said in a hoarse voice, "You should sleep sitting up. This position is tiring. How about..."

"Come on, sit on my lap."

"..."

Seeing his mischievous grin, Tang Yaoyao teased him, punching his chest with her hand: "You start flirting halfway through telling the truth, all you want to do is take advantage of me. You'll be driven crazy by your own pent-up desire one day!"

It's not that she's lying, but every time she teases someone and then stops halfway through, it's Xiao Jinhan who suffers the most.

Xiao Jinhan seemed to enjoy this moment, his warm breath brushing against Tang Yaoyao's face, his magnetic, husky voice tinged with a hint of sexiness as he slowly spoke.
