Xie Fengsheng gazed at her expressive face with adoration, his voice gentle and clear, filled with deep affection, "Hmm, it's good that Yanyan is here."
Hearing how he addressed her, Li Yunyan paused for a moment, then gave him a meaningful smile.
She got up and poured him a glass of water, then turned her back to him, pretending to take something from the medicine cabinet. She took out a "Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill" from the system, unwrapped it, and handed it to him.
"Eat it."
Without a moment's hesitation, he took it and swallowed it.
The pill melted instantly in his mouth, and Xie Fengsheng immediately felt a warm current flowing through his body, infusing him with vitality.
A moment later, his palpitations and shortness of breath disappeared, he regained his strength, and his dizziness subsided.
"Yanyan's medical skills are indeed well-deserved!"
Li Yunyan was always reluctant to give the pills from the system to others, and she would only let her closest people take the medicine.
She relied on this to feed them one every now and then in the first two small worlds, bringing their lifespans up to the same level as hers.
Seeing that his expression had improved significantly, Li Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief.
She squatted down directly in front of him, resting her hands on her knees, supporting her face, her eyebrows raised.
"Of course, this medicine is difficult to make! I won't give it to anyone else!"
Seeing her display a girlish charm, Xie Fengsheng's palms itched. His longing for her for many days made him unable to suppress it, and he reached out his hand as if possessed.
He gently touched her cheek.
Feeling the smooth, supple texture beneath his hand, Xie Fengsheng realized what he had done and withdrew his hand as if electrocuted, a faint blush creeping up his ears.
Li Yunyan refused to let him take it back; she grabbed his hand and placed it back on her face.
That's not all; she even gently rubbed his palm against her hand.
Xie Fengsheng's heart was pounding, but he couldn't bear to pull his hand away again. His fingers trembled as he placed them on her cheek, not daring to move them even a little.
A pair of affectionate eyes gazed at her, their eyes meeting.
After a long while, he was the first to give in, turning his head slightly away, his ears burning red.
Li Yunyan smiled, her eyes crinkling with laughter, and Xie Fengsheng's lips curved into an even wider smile.
Xie Fengsheng spent five days in this dreamlike bliss.
During these five days, he would come to the clinic during the day to help her cut and wrap the medicine, talk to her when the clinic closed at noon, and stay at Gu Yingzhi's villa at night.
On this day, Xie Fengsheng calculated that Gu Yingzhi's matter was almost finished, and his sweetheart was in Lianjiang City and would definitely come back.
Once he returns, he will have no reason to stay away from home and will have to return to the Xie residence.
When the museum closed at noon, I reluctantly said goodbye to Li Yunyan.
"Yanyan, I might not be able to come tomorrow, so don't wait for me."
Li Yunyan sat next to him. In the past few days, she had Xiangxia cook medicinal meals for him every day. With the added effect of the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill, his complexion was now exactly the same as before.
He's just a bit too thin.
She nodded gently and instructed, "When you go back, you can't neglect your health like that anymore. You must eat three meals a day on time, and you can't let your knees get cold, or I'll be angry!"
He nodded in agreement, a hint of worry welling up in his eyes.
Li Yunyan looked at him. "Fengsheng, is our matter causing you any trouble?"
He was self-destructive, and even if he didn't say it, she could guess what was going on. A wealthy and powerful family like hers would never be a place for her.
"Yanyan, give me some time, I'll handle it! I'm just sorry to trouble you, you'll have to wait for me!"
Li Yunyan looked up at him, her eyes flashing, "Actually, I don't care about titles or status."
Xie Fengsheng felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if it had been stabbed. In his desperation, he grabbed her hand and said solemnly, "Yanyan, but I care! You are so wonderful, I don't want to hear anyone say anything bad about you!"
His expression was sincere, and his eyes were deep and affectionate as he looked at her.
Li Yunyan felt a little shy under his gaze, and hurriedly turned her face away to calm her racing heart.
He slowly placed his fingers between hers, gradually intertwining his fingers with hers.
His voice was low and a little hoarse, "Yanyan, listen to me."
She had no choice but to turn back, a faint blush rising on her face, her clear, spring-like eyes looking at him shyly.
His Adam's apple bobbed.
He looked up at the pear blossom hairpin in her hair, gently stroked it with his fingers, and then tucked a stray hair behind her ear. His voice grew even hoarseer: "Yanyan, I want to marry you openly and honorably, so that you can be my wife in a grand and glorious way, instead of following me without any status or recognition."
Li Yunyan lowered her eyes and nodded gently. She felt that he had become more and more charming ever since they confirmed their relationship.
The key point is that he said it in a very serious manner, flirting with people without even realizing it.
She has now fallen for him, so she no longer feels guilty about fantasizing and is determined to break through his defenses.
Honestly! I really want to see a proper gentleman lose his composure and become infatuated with her!
Little did she know that her shy, downcast look was causing his Adam's apple to bob wildly.
"Smoke."
"Um?"
She looked up and saw his dark eyes churning, his gaze fixed on her, his eyes tinged with a faint red, and his breathing becoming erratic.
His head lowered further and further, his gaze focusing on the rosy red of her lips, while his other hand supported the back of her head, slowly lowering her down.
Li Yunyan kept her eyes tightly closed, one hand nervously clutching the front of his shirt, feeling his breath getting closer and closer to her.
Their intertwined fingers tightened even more.
Finally, both of them trembled slightly. Li Yunyan felt his soft lips press against hers, and he gently caressed her.
Li Yunyan felt her limbs go weak and was about to let go of the clothes in her hands and hook her arms around his neck.
"What are you doing?!"
A furious roar came from the doorway.
Li Yunyan was startled by the sound and reflexively moved away from him.
Xie Fengsheng immediately pulled her into his arms, looking displeased at the doorway.
The clinic only had one small door for one person to enter and exit. No outsider would dare to walk through such a small door unless they were a family member, which is why he felt so at ease.
Upon seeing the person who approached, his pupils involuntarily dilated.
"Your Highness?"
Upon hearing this address, Li Yunyan lifted her head from Xie Fengsheng's embrace.
Why is that bastard here again? Hasn't he left yet?
Gu Yingzhi was so enraged by what he had just witnessed that his eyes were bloodshot. He strode over and pulled the two people apart from their embrace.
Then he punched Xie Fengsheng in the face.
"Xie Fengsheng! What were you doing to her just now?!"
The next moment, Li Yunyan and Xie Fengsheng spoke at the same time.
"You two know each other?!?"
