Li Yunyan, however, was in a good mood and continued to ask, "Husband, can you grant me a request?"
He turned his head, looked at her curved eyebrows and eyes, and his tone softened unconsciously, "What is it?"
"Can I come back often in the future?"
Thinking that she was at home and would be alone if he went out to run errands, he nodded.
Added a sentence: "Do not keep overnight."
"That's wonderful! Thank you, my husband!"
Her smile was bright and full of life, and He Lanyi smiled as he looked at her face.
Back at the manor, Helan Yi asked Shuquan to tell the old lady that they had returned, and then he and Li Yunyan went to Helan Cheng's room.
Li Yunyan performed acupuncture on him as she had done yesterday. Qingyin took a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, but He Lanyi called her away.
"I'll do it!"
"Yes, son-in-law."
In the evening, He Lanyi took the initiative to have Shuquan fetch water so that Li Yunyan could take a bath.
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness, my husband!"
She chose a light blue undergarment and then slipped behind the screen.
Helan Yi sat in the outer room, his mind wandering. He thought to himself that the clothes she wore today were beautiful, and he would ask the embroiderer to make more for her in the future.
After Li Yunyan finished washing her hair, he went over to dry it for her and advised her to rest early.
Acupuncture is extremely tiring, and Li Yunyan also felt very tired after going out today, so she went to bed.
While she was half asleep, she felt someone else on the bed next to her, so she automatically moved closer and put her hands and feet on the bed.
She was suddenly jolted awake when a burning heat gripped her wrist.
She's done her old tricks again!
She suddenly opened her eyes and met those dark, piercing eyes.
Embarrassed, she withdrew her hands and feet. "Husband, did I press down on you?"
"...It's alright."
Li Yunyan obediently tucked her hands and feet back into her blankets, feeling increasingly uneasy.
With such a handsome man in front of me, even if I can't have sex, there's no need to be a complete vegetarian!
Eating a half-meat dish would be fine too!
She then placed her hands and feet on his head, meeting his questioning gaze with a confident air.
"My husband!"
"Um?"
"Actually... we can kiss!"
"What?!"
Li Yunyan, with a quick movement, lifted her head and gave him a light, fleeting kiss on the corner of his lips, using the hand resting on his chest.
He Lanyi's pupils dilated in shock, and he suddenly gripped the blanket tightly with both hands.
Seeing his displeased expression, Li Yunyan chuckled softly and said sweetly, "Husband, we are husband and wife! Before you recover, we can actually do some other things!"
Seeing that he still didn't react and his eyes were wide open, Li Yunyan gradually moved closer to him.
He Lanyi felt a warm, soft body gradually approaching him. His nose was filled with her unique fragrance. He was inwardly screaming that he couldn't let her get close, but his hands wouldn't obey him and he tightly gripped the blanket.
Until he felt her soft flesh against his chest, and her alluring face drew closer and closer, a certain part of him couldn't help but rise up.
He then pressed her back onto the bed, pulled up her blanket, wrapped her from head to toe, swatted out the candle flame, and turned his back to her.
"Go to sleep!"
His voice was terribly hoarse, as if he were enduring some kind of pain.
Li Yunyan finally managed to crawl out from under the covers, but could only see his back by the moonlight.
Ha! She's quite shy!
That's enough for today!
See you next time!
She was carefree and fell asleep in no time.
He Lanyi, however, remained wide awake, shocked for most of the night.
There were so many things that shocked him! He was shocked by her initiative, by the softness of her lips, by her leaning body, and even more shocked by his lack of courage to refuse and his intense physical reaction.
He knew this was wrong! That was his younger brother's wife, and one day he would return to his rightful place and give her back to him intact!
But why do I feel so strange?
Finally, his breathing slowed down. In the darkness, he felt her turn over, and his own body automatically turned around, spreading his arms out.
She immediately rested her head on it, and then used her hands and feet.
He felt much more at ease, deceiving himself into thinking that he just wanted her to sleep more comfortably, nothing more.
A few days into their honeymoon, He Lanyi got busy.
He already had a lot on his plate, and he also had to help Helan Cheng manage the family business, so he was always out early and back late.
Li Yunyan wasn't idle either; she took advantage of the free time to thoroughly study her elder brother's illness in the next room.
I went to the next room and saw a strange boy.
"Who are you?"
"Madam, my name is Qianfan. I was sent by the Second Young Master to take care of the Eldest Young Master!"
The boy had a face that was easily forgotten, but Li Yunyan tried hard to remember it and asked, "Qianfan, do you know martial arts?"
"yes."
That's it. My elder brother was poisoned. Sending a servant who knows martial arts to take care of him is better than sending an ordinary person.
"Okay, I understand!"
Li Yunyan took her elder brother's pulse and then took out her silver needle kit.
"Brother, I'm going to give you acupuncture now."
Even comatose patients can occasionally hear external sounds, and with sound stimulation, they can become aware of their surroundings sooner.
Then she slowly began to administer acupuncture.
Now that there's more time, she can insert the needles more slowly than before, and she also has the energy to observe his body's reaction after each needle insertion.
Qingyin dutifully wiped her sweat and would occasionally bring her a cup of tea at the perfect temperature so she could drink it as soon as she opened her mouth.
Li Yunyan's grandfather was a doctor, and she had studied under him for a period of time when she was a child, so Qingyin did not doubt why her young lady knew medicine.
She was quite proud; her young lady had only learned a little bit of medicine and her skills were already so amazing!
Li Yunyan put away her needles; it was already dusk.
She said softly, "Brother, today's acupuncture treatment is finished. I will come again tomorrow."
Using the strength of Qingyin's voice, Li Yunyan stood up and instructed Qianfan, "Wash his body with hot water in a while, and make sure he doesn't catch a cold. Also, talk to the patient more often every day, anything you want to say, as long as there's some sound!"
Qianfan had already received his lord's order to obey his wife's every command, and he immediately agreed.
"Yes, madam."
He Lanyi returned under the starlight and saw Li Yunyan sitting under the candlelight, holding a book in her hand.
With tenderness in his eyes, he stepped into the house, whereupon she looked up with delight.
"My husband, you're back!"
Why haven't you rested yet?
Li Yunyan walked over and easily took off his outer robe. "I'll wait for you to come home!"
"Wait for me to come home...?"
He Lanyi savored these four words, and his cold heart was gradually warmed.
