"It's nothing," he said, explaining that the minor injuries didn't hinder his movements.
Upon closer inspection, Sheng Qian noticed scratches on his neck, marks left by gunpowder.
He went off to do something dangerous again.
Sheng Qian's eyes darkened slightly. "Take better care of yourself when you go out on missions in the future."
If she were to lie there like last time, she was genuinely worried that she wouldn't be able to save the person.
Long Yunting knew she was perceptive, but he didn't expect her to be so perceptive as to notice even the wounds he had treated. Long Yunting pulled her back into his arms with one hand, rested his head on her neck, took a gentle sniff, and kissed her along her ear.
Sheng Qian's body trembled slightly.
Long Yunting's lips traveled all the way to hers.
Sheng Qian parted her lips slightly, and he barged in.
A little urgent, yet still gentle.
With that, Sheng Qian couldn't bring herself to ask him if it was about the S district.
Long Yunting led her into the house, and his long kiss made Sheng Qian's clothes a little disheveled. The allure made Long Yunting tighten his arms involuntarily.
"Wait a moment.
It's not appropriate in broad daylight.
Long Yunting sealed her lips with his own, turned inside, and closed the door behind him.
The atmosphere inside the room was enchanting.

7 PM.
The sound of cooking came from the kitchen. Sheng Qian buttoned her shirt, looked at herself in the mirror, and sighed.
She actually let him have his way.
Long Yunting, carrying the dishes out, glanced towards the bathroom, then walked over and stood behind her, looking at Sheng Qian in the mirror.
The collar wasn't buttoned up properly; it was a bit loose, and the marks on the neck were still quite clear.
Her skin is fair, and even the slightest pressure can leave a mark.
The marks on her neck were quite deep; if you didn't know, you'd think Sheng Qian had been abused.
Although Long Yunting knew this was just an illusion caused by Sheng Qian's fair skin, he still felt sorry and regretful. He covered her with his fingertips and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Sheng Qian turned her head and glanced at him. "I said it hurt, and you stopped?"
"..."
"It doesn't actually hurt, it's just a little scary to look at," Sheng Qian turned around and looked up at him slightly. "Are you done?"
"Okay, let's eat first," Long Yunting said, taking her hand as they went over.
Seeing the lingering self-reproach in his eyes, Sheng Qian said again, "I really don't feel any pain."
Long Yunting had just handed her a bowl of rice when he heard this. He glanced at her, his eyes filled with intense desire.
Sheng Qian's lips twitched.
She only said that the bruises on her neck didn't hurt, and didn't say anything else.
"I understand, let's eat first," Long Yunting's voice was a little hoarse.
Sheng Qian dared not bring up this topic again and quickly ate her meal.
After dinner, they had nothing to do, so Sheng Qian suggested going for a walk outside.
Both of them couldn't help but think back to the very beginning.
They didn't have any interaction here. Long Yunting entered the town lying down from the beginning and left lying down as well.
The last time I came here was the same time as before.
When they returned this time, the atmosphere between them was different.
Overall, their relationship grew increasingly close.
Sheng Qian then decided that he was the one.
And he couldn't live without her.
"So much time has passed in the blink of an eye."
That's fast.
Long Yunting gripped her hand tightly and looked at her.
"You seem to have something on your mind."
"No."
Long Yunting looked at her for a while longer, but didn't ask any more questions.
But he still remembered how she said those things to him when they first met in the capital.
At that time, he vaguely sensed something. During this period, he also contacted things in the S area, but he couldn't find anything connected to Sheng Qian.
Could it be that he's going in the wrong direction?
If it wasn't S District, then who made her do this?
It's not hard to see from Sheng Qian's actions that she is accumulating strength and plotting something.
He wasn't quite sure what he was plotting.
But if needed, as her husband, he has the ability to adapt to changing circumstances and, more importantly, the ability to remove all obstacles for her.
so.
He was also secretly making himself stronger.
One day in the future, even if we encounter the most powerful enemy, I will be able to protect her.

The next day, Sheng Qian told Long Yunting that she wanted to return to Wutong Village.
Long Yunting frowned slightly. "You came back to confirm your origins?"
Sheng Qian also told Long Yunting what she and Madam Ju had said, which surprised Long Yunting.
If Sheng Qian is a child of the Helan family, then what happened back then?
Ever since Sheng Qian became involved with the Helan family, Long Yunting has paid special attention to the Helan family's affairs. The events that happened back then were all published in the newspapers, so Long Yunting was able to find out about them and had also heard a lot about them from the sidelines.
The baby from back then was found, but it was stillborn.
Now that Madam Ju suspects that Sheng Qian is a child of the Helan family, something else must have happened back then.
Long Yunting wouldn't care so much about other people's affairs, but since it concerns Sheng Qian, he has to take it to heart.
Sheng Qian said, "I have no interest in whose child I am. Since Madam Ju has already said it, the Helan family should take action soon. I need to understand the ins and outs before the Helan family investigates."
While others have started investigating this matter, she hasn't taken any action, which is rather oblivious.
“I’ll have someone make some connections in the capital,” Long Yunting said, pulling Sheng Qian onto his lap as he took out his phone to contact people.
Sheng Qian did not stop her.
