Inside the room, the bathroom door was open.
Amidst the rising steam, Chu Liyue emerged carrying Xiao Wujie.
She had just put Xiao Wujie on the bed when he shrank into the blankets, his eyes, the only part of them visible, filled with broken tears and resentful accusations.
Chu Liyue knelt on one knee on the bed, wanting to hug him, but he shrank back to the corner of the bed to avoid her.
Chu Liyue looked at her with doting eyes, a smile playing on her lips, and coaxed softly, "It's getting late, let me put you to sleep."
Xiao Wujie became even angrier upon hearing this, peeking out slightly, his eyes brimming with tears.
"My sister knows it's getting late! My sister is mean, she doesn't keep her promise, she bullies people!"
Chu Liyue's eyes narrowed slightly as she chuckled, "Where did I break my promise, sister? Didn't I grant your wish?"
Xiao Wujie's gaze froze upon hearing this.
His wish was fulfilled, but only because he took the opportunity to control Chu Liyue with illusion magic.
But the sister who was being controlled was completely different from the sexy and alluring sister she usually was in these kinds of situations.
He remained motionless and unresponsive, so he dispelled the illusion.
As a result, the mess spread from the bed to the floor and even the bathtub...
He felt like his back was about to break and he was about to dry out.
Taking advantage of his distraction, Chu Liyue suddenly leaned down and wrapped herself and the blanket in her arms.
Xiao Wujie instantly twisted his waist, his face full of grievance, refusing to let her hug him.
Chu Liyue hugged him tightly, gently stroking the back of his head with her palm, and kissed his cheek with her red lips:
"Sister was wrong, sister apologizes, I promise next time."
Xiao Wujie burrowed into her arms like a little beast, yelling, "Sister, you scumbag!"
"The number one quote from a 'bad girl' is 'Next time for sure'."
A helpless smile flashed in Chu Liyue's eyes. She lifted the blanket, pulled the man tightly into her arms, and gently massaged his waist with her fingers, speaking in a low, cold voice:
"Does your back hurt? Let me rub it."
Despite calling her a scumbag, Xiao Wujie actually loved being hugged by her and snuggling into her arms.
He burrowed under the covers, nestled into Chu Liyue's arms, peeking only out with his head. He pressed his face against Chu Liyue's chest, gently nuzzling her, biting his lip and whispering aggrievedly:
"My back is so sore."
"Sister, I want to sleep on you tonight."
Chu Liyue smiled, her palms roaming over his smooth back, gently stroking and caressing him, agreeing to everything.
I lost control a bit today and bullied people too much.
They need to be coaxed.
Holding Xiao Wujie in one arm, Chu Liyue reached for the water glass by the bed, took a sip of water, picked up a pill she had prepared beforehand, and swallowed it.
Xiao Wujie, nestled in her arms, blinked and suddenly asked, "Sister, is this medicine harmful to the body?"
Chu Liyue was taking birth control pills.
She already doted on Xiao Wujie, and given that Xiao Wujie had been in poor health and was still young, this kind of thing had to be controlled and couldn't be too frequent.
Therefore, she took extra care of Xiao Wujie's feelings and didn't even bother to provide him with physical treatment, but he would take medicine after each time.
Chu Liyue gently patted his shoulder in a coaxing tone and shook her head: "It's specially formulated, it won't cause any harm."
Xiao Wujie wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and gently rubbed his cheek against her shoulder: "Sister is lying. I used to be in poor health, and it was fine if I ate it occasionally."
"Now that I'm better..." his voice trembled with embarrassment, "I want to spend more time with my sister..."
"I'll buy a small umbrella in the future."
Upon hearing this, Chu Liyue's gaze suddenly turned serious. She reached out and cupped Xiao Wujie's face, gently kissing his thin lips twice. Gazing intently into his eyes, she whispered:
"Sweetie, listen to me. Although your health has improved a lot, the foundation is already damaged. Even if the surgery is successful, you still need to be careful and take good care of yourself."
"Be a good girl and listen to me. I'll always be there for you and love you. You don't need to worry about the rest."
Xiao Wujie's eyes flickered.
Actually, there was something else he wanted to ask.
But he obeys his sister when she tells him to.
He didn't ask since she didn't say anything; he believed that his sister would explain when she wanted to.
He nodded obediently, nestled into her arms, and closed his eyes, trying to fall asleep.
Chu Liyue pulled the blanket tighter, gently patted his back with her palm, rested her chin on his head, and coaxed him softly with her eyes lowered: "Be good, go to sleep, we have to go to the old house tomorrow."
The previous day's ordeal was so intense that Xiao Wujie slept soundly all the way to the Chu family's old house without waking up.
When Chu Liyue tried to wake him up in the morning, she found him curled up in her arms, so sleepy that he could barely open his eyes. So she simply held him in her arms and took care of him like a giant baby, helping him wash up and get dressed. She then wrapped him in a thin blanket and carried him to the car without waking him up the whole way.
Bai Jingxuan glanced at the time, then at Xiao Wujie, who was sound asleep nestled in Chu Liyue's arms, and her face darkened slightly.
"Liyue, what's wrong, baby? Why are you so sleepy?"
As she spoke, her gaze lingered on the exquisite scarf around Xiao Wujie's neck, whether for aesthetic reasons or to conceal something, it was unclear.
Chu Liyue gently massaged Xiao Wujie's waist with her fingertips, her face expressionless, and she did not answer.
Bai Jingxuan gritted her teeth and glared at her: "Take it easy, my baby is used to being pampered. Even if she gets better for a while, she can't withstand your reckless behavior."
As Bai Jingxuan spoke, Chu Yuntian leaned forward slightly, looked at Xiao Wujie's noticeably rosy complexion, and chuckled softly:
"You can tell that her complexion is much better than before."
A look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes, and he then asked with great interest, "Liyue, Xiao Wujie is all better now, when do you plan to hold your wedding?"
Although Xiao Wujie is a bit young, as long as the two of them are willing, getting a marriage certificate would be incredibly easy for both the Xiao and Chu families.
Upon hearing this, even Chu Mingcheng, who had been seemingly invisible, turned his gaze towards them.
Chu Liyue gently stroked Xiao Wujie's trembling eyelashes with her fingers, her eyes reflecting his handsome face, overflowing with love.
