Chapter 157 Should We Start with the Puppy?

Ruan Yineng could clearly feel the person in her arms gradually calming down, their hot breaths repeatedly sweeping across her neck, leaving only a lingering, tender feeling.

She gently patted the man's back with her fingertips, her voice tinged with helplessness: "Okay, relax a bit, I can't breathe."

Fu Jingchen's arm paused for a moment before reluctantly loosening its grip, but he still entwined his fingertips around her little finger.

Ruan Yi straightened her crumpled collar, looked up at him and asked, "Where's Fu Wang? How is he?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man's brows furrowed instantly, and a barely perceptible hint of malice flashed in his eyes. Even Ruan Yi couldn't bear to hear him say his name.

But this feeling only lasted for half a second. He caught a glimpse of Ruan Yi looking at him and immediately suppressed the soreness in his heart.

Fu Jingchen spoke calmly: "He's fine."

Ruan Yi didn't believe her. "Are you sure?"

If nothing were wrong, given Fu Wang's idiotic personality, he would have already challenged Fu Jingchen and waited outside the hospital, instead of still staying in the ward.

Fu Jingchen's Adam's apple bobbed, and he remained silent for a few seconds before speaking in a low voice, his words slow as if he were carefully considering his words.

"It's just a previous injury, a slight bone fracture and displacement."

"You call this nothing?!" Ruan Yi felt a sharp pain in her temples. "Is that all?"

This man with a complicated mind, unsurprisingly, only picked the milder of the two.

The man's fingertips twitched slightly before he calmly added, "And the hands."

"Fu Jingchen!" Ruan Yi almost laughed out of anger.

"You're usually so good at taking care of people, acting like both a father and a mother. How come you're so immature when it comes to something like this? Do you still think you're some kind of hot-blooded young man?!"

The man didn't dare to frown even slightly, only looking down at her and asking softly, "Xiao Yi... do you think I'm too old?"

"Is that the point?!" Seeing him like this, Ruan Yi couldn't do anything about it, so she just let go and gave him a push.

"Go back to your room and lie down. I'll go see him."

The man instantly clung to her again, his arms tightly encircling her waist, his face burying in her shoulder, his tone carrying a hint of playfulness: "Xiaoyi, I'm badly injured too..."

Ruan Yi pushed his face away.

"You have the nerve to say that? It's all because of you! Now things are all messed up! If you hadn't been causing all this trouble, would he even be here?"

The man froze, his hand around her waist slowly loosening its grip, and he could only lower his eyes and endure the scolding.

Indeed, he brought all of this upon himself. His repeated loss of control made Fu Wang his most formidable competitor.

Why this unease? Perhaps it's that laughable and shallow blood relation that gives the two a slight resemblance in their features.

Unfortunately, Ruan Yi was craving this particular one.

Since he initially seduced Ruan Yi with his looks and body, how could Fu Wang's existence not make him feel threatened?

But the man's attempts to be unreasonable were useless; Ruan Yi forced him back to the ward with an angry expression.

She pressed him down onto the bed, grabbed the blanket from the hospital bed, and wrapped the man in it.

"Stay put and try to get out of bed." Ruan Yi reached out and patted the wrinkles on the blanket.

Ruan Yi forced herself to ignore the man's burning gaze, and without turning back, she turned and walked towards the ward not far away.

As soon as I stepped into the room, my eyes widened instantly.

Fu Wang was more seriously injured than she had expected.

The man lay on the bed with thick bandages wrapped around his ribs and several layers around his waist, and his left arm was immobilized with a splint.

There weren't any wounds on his face, but just looking at all the injuries on his body, you could tell that Fu Jingchen really only hit his weak points.

The two brothers are truly two extremes.

Fu Wang was asleep, leaning against the pillow, his long eyelashes drooping. Perhaps he was dreaming, for his eyelashes were still trembling slightly.

Ruan Yi felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her feelings were very strange.

It's like when your two children get into a fight, it's not right to blame anyone, and it's heartbreaking to see either of them get hurt. I don't know where my maternal instincts come from.

Ruan Yi walked over quietly and sat down on the chair by the bed, her gaze falling on the gauze on his chest.

The ward was quiet, with only the regular ticking of the medical equipment. Suddenly, the man on the bed stirred, his brows furrowed, and his body shifted slightly, as if he were caught in a nightmare.

He started muttering something under his breath, his voice very soft and indistinct.

Ruan Yi leaned closer, but still could only hear him vaguely. She moved even closer, her ear almost touching his lips, trying to hear him more clearly.

"You wicked woman, you even know to come and see if I'm dead or alive?"

Clear words reached her ears, and before Ruan Yi could react, the person beneath her suddenly lifted her chin and gently bit her soft cheek.

A slight sting left a faint tooth mark.

"Ugh!" Ruan Yi suddenly stepped back, raised her hand to cover her face, and glared at him angrily, "You bit me again..."

Seeing the man's unrepentant expression, Ruan Yi couldn't help but retort, "You couldn't beat him, yet you still insisted on using force. Now look what happened!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man, who had just undergone surgery and was pale-faced, blushed instantly and regained his "color".

"Who said I couldn't beat him? I was fighting, he was trying to kill me! Who knew he would be so ruthless in broad daylight, and I hadn't even used my full strength!"

"You don't care about me at all, and you're still making sarcastic remarks."

"Bad woman! I...I...I don't want to live anymore!"

The man was yelling and looked like he was about to start a fight, so Ruan Yi quickly moved closer, gently patted his head, and softened her tone.

"Oh dear, oh dear, I feel so sorry for him! Of course I feel sorry for our little Wang! My darling..."

The man's Adam's apple bobbed, and looking at Ruan Yi's hindsight-seeking manner, he muttered under his breath, "Hypocritical."

Fortunately, her voice was so soft that Ruan Yi didn't hear it, but her body honestly snuggled closer to her, her ear tips turning slightly red.

"Don't call me that," he said awkwardly.

Ruan Yi was a little confused and reached out to poke his flushed cheek: "Why? Xiao Wang sounds so cute, Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang."

She deliberately called out to him several times, watching Fu Wang's face turn redder and redder until he finally managed to say, "That's what my mom calls me. It's weird."

Ruan Yi paused, instantly remembering that Fu Wang had misunderstood her as having a strange quirk of liking to be called "Mom," and quickly stopped talking.

"That's called Awang?"

As soon as the words left my mouth, I realized they were wrong, Ah Wang...

"It sounds like you're calling a puppy."

The man's face instantly turned red and black, filled with shame and embarrassment, and his words were tinged with a hint of gritted teeth.

"Why are you bringing up those two terms again? You just love playing these kinds of games..."

Before he could finish speaking, his Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably, betraying his panic. Despite his fierce tone, his ears were so red they looked like they could bleed.

Ruan Yi opened her mouth, but found that no matter how she explained, it would only make things worse. In Fu Wang's eyes, she had probably already been labeled as a "perverted bad woman who likes to play role-playing games."

A sense of shame crept up her ears, and she simply shut her mouth in a huff, deciding to stop wasting her breath.

Unexpectedly, the silence made the man panic. Fu Wang hurriedly spoke, his voice still a little strained.

"What are you doing... I didn't say I wouldn't play with you. Didn't I promise you last time? Don't try to act cute with me."

Ruan Yi: ? She just didn't know how to explain.

Before she could even argue, Fu Wang added another sentence, his tone unnatural and awkward.

"We can do this tonight. What if the caregiver hears us if we call now?"

Ruan Yi fell completely silent.

Well, this person has not only made up their mind, but has also started thinking about when to play. She's really in a mess now.

The man glanced at the silent girl, his face flushing even more, and continued, "Besides, I'm injured right now. Does it have to be now?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter, my right hand is fine."

"Since you've already asked, how can I refuse?"

"Shall we start with the puppy? Woof... um."

Ruan Yi's cheeks flushed red, and almost instinctively, she slapped Fu Wang's mouth with her fair palm, making the man groan. She could feel his warm breath on her fingertips.

The softness under her palm didn't move away, and the subtle touch of the man's lips made Ruan Yi quickly withdraw her hand.

"Can't you just do it yourself quickly?"

"I didn't say anything!"
