The other party seemed to be stunned for a moment before saying, “Yes, yes, yes, it’s us. But you promised Old Master that you would repay his life-saving grace. It’s time for you to repay his kindness. Are you planning to go back on your word?
“Li Yan, I don’t have a choice at this time… Old Master suddenly fainted, and many people are scared out of their wits. We’re all worried that the other party will discover something, so only you can help us now.
“Go to the tomb. I heard that there’s medicine in that tomb that can revive the dead. Regardless of whether it’s real or fake, we have to try.”
The other party’s voice turned from domineering to choked. One could hear his helplessness.
Li Yan didn’t have any special feelings for the others around Old Master Li, but his heart softened for the old master who would always be smiling at him. He asked, “What did the doctor say?”
The other party said, “The doctor used a special method to save Old Master, but Old Master had suffered too many injuries when he was young. His body had suffered a huge loss. Even if he was rescued, he could only lie in bed and be a living dead…
“This news can’t be concealed for long. There are too many people monitoring our family. Once Old Master falls, they will definitely wait for an opportunity.
“Li Yan, nothing must happen to Old Master for at least two years.”
When Li Yan heard this, his expression turned even colder. These people seemed to be concerned about Old Master, but in the end, they were doing it for their own benefit. It was truly laughable.
He said, “I have obtained a prescription that can ensure that Old Master will be fine for a year and a half.”
“Really?” The other party raised his voice. “Then send it over quickly.”
“I’ll send someone over immediately.”
After Li Yan finished speaking, the two of them hung up at the same time.
He stood up and walked out of the study. When he reached Chu Luo’s bedroom door, he grabbed the doorknob, opened the door, and walked in.
Chu Luo wasn’t asleep at this time. She was lying on the bed with her earphones on, learning German from a video.
Perhaps it was because she was too engrossed in learning and was in her bedroom again, but she was especially relaxed and had even crossed her legs. A few adorable toes were even fidgeting following her pronunciation.
Li Yan looked at her beautiful toes and walked over to sit on the edge of the bed, then held one foot in his hand.
Chu Luo jumped in fright and turned to look at him blankly.
Li Yan was struck by her adorable expression and couldn’t help but tickle her foot.
Chu Luo’s body trembled and her face turned red. She tried to retract her leg.
Li Yan held it tightly.
Chu Luo quickly took off her earphones and said loudly, “Big baddie, let go of my leg.”
Li Yan tickled her foot again.
Chu Luo finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and laughed out loud. As she laughed, she rubbed her foot against his hand and reached out to grab his hand.
Seeing that she couldn’t catch him, she decided to hug his arm. “Big baddie, stop tickling me.”
Only then did Li Yan let go of her foot and turn around to pull her into his arms. He rubbed his lips against her ear and said, “Luoluo, do me a favor.”
“Mm?”
“Write me the prescription that will make that old man be fine for a year and a half.”
Chu Luo guessed something, but she didn’t ask. She said to him, “Change the four herbs into…”
She told him about it and Li Yan nodded. He let go of her and walked towards the study.
Chu Luo got off the bed and wanted to follow him.
Seeing that she wasn’t wearing any shoes, Li Yan quickly stopped and said to her:
“Go put on your shoes.”
“It’s not cold. Ah… what are you doing? Put me down.”
“Since you don’t want to wear shoes, I can only carry you.”
“How can we be seen like this?”
“Other than us, there’s no one else on the second floor.”
Chu Luo stopped talking. This was the first time someone had carried her like this. Actually, it didn’t feel bad. She hugged his neck and curled her lips as she quietly nestled in his arms.
Li Yan carried Chu Luo into the study and placed her on a chair.
He stood at the side, took the laptop, bent down, and typed in the herbs that Chu Luo had mentioned.
Chu Luo looked at his profile and said, “These herbs can prolong his life, but they can’t guarantee how healthy his body can be.”
“Mm.” Li Yan told her, “The old man suddenly fainted. We have to save him.”
“Will you send someone to look for those herbs next?”
“Mm.”
Chu Luo didn’t ask further and Li Yan also stopped speaking.
He typed out the prescription again and sent it to an email inbox.
After sending the email, he took out his phone and dialed a number. After the other party picked up the call, he only said, “I’ve sent it to your email. Give me a call when Old Master wakes up.”
With that, he hung up.
Chu Luo looked at the tense lines on his face and guessed that he was worried about that old man. She pulled his hand and said, “Don’t worry. The prescription I gave is better than any doctors’. After Old Master wakes up, you can get someone to look for other kinds of herbs.”
Li Yan looked at her and picked her up again.
“Ah…” Chu Luo said unhappily, “Why didn’t you give me a warning beforehand?”
Li Yan lowered his head to plant a kiss on her lips, then retorted, “I’ll let you know next time.”
Chu Luo said with a tsundere expression, “I don’t want you to carry me next time.”
Li Yan kissed her lips again.
Chu Luo quickly covered her mouth with her hands and glared at him with her big eyes.
Li Yan was tickled by her expression, and the haze in his heart finally dissipated.
After carrying her into the bedroom, he proceeded to the bathroom.
Chu Luo lay on the bed and raised her voice. “Go back to your room to wash up. You’re not allowed to stay here with me.”
Li Yan pretended not to hear and walked in.
Chu Luo quickly put on her slippers and walked towards the bathroom door.
After she walked over, she quickly pushed open the door and said angrily, “Li Yan, you…”
Li Yan, who had already unbuttoned his shirt, stopped and looked at her with his slightly dark eyes. His chest and abdominal muscles exposed, he asked in a hoarse voice, “You want to shower with me?”
Chu Luo: “…”
“If you don’t close the door, I’ll take off my pants.”
After saying that, Li Yan took off his clothes and placed his hand on his belt buckle.
Chu Luo’s face turned red. She slammed the door shut and ran to the bed to cover her head with the blanket.
When Li Yan came out of the shower, what he saw was the little thing who had wrapped herself up like a Silkworm Baby.
He walked over, took off his shoes, and lay beside her. He deliberately lowered his voice and said, “Luoluo, share with me some of that blanket.”
Chu Luo pretended not to hear him.
Li Yan reached out with one arm and hugged her and the blanket.
After a while, Chu Luo finally couldn’t stand the heat anymore and stuck her head out from under the blanket.
Li Yan looked at her with his dark eyes.
Chu Luo said, “This is my blanket. If you want a blanket, go back to your room.”
Li Yan leaned his chin on the top of her head. “Then I won’t cover myself with it. It’ll be warmer hugging you anyway.”
“…”
The two of them were in a stalemate for a while. Li Yan asked in a slightly hoarse voice, “Luoluo, aren’t you hot?”
With a ball of fire hugging her, Chu Luo was definitely feeling hot.
However, she was a little indignant that he was sleeping on her bed again and was wondering if she should use some special method to reduce his temperature.
Li Yan said, “I’m going out very early tomorrow. Be good and go to sleep.”
He even patted her back twice.
Chu Luo looked at him, who had closed his eyes after saying that. After waiting for a few minutes, she finally let down her guard and closed her eyes.
Half an hour later, Li Yan suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the little thing sleeping sweetly in his arms and felt his heart skip a beat.
He kissed her on the lips and gently pulled open the blanket around her. He crawled in and continued to sleep with her in his arms.
A good night’s sleep.
When Chu Luo opened her eyes, she realized that she was in Li Yan’s arms.
His breath surrounded her, and she could hear his strong and steady heartbeat.
Chu Luo was a little confused.
At this moment, she heard a magnetic voice. “Little thing, take your hand away.”
Chu Luo looked up at him.
Coincidentally, he was looking down at her.
…
Half an hour later.
Chu Luo waited for Li Yan to leave the bedroom and closed the door before opening her eyes.
The more she thought about it, the redder her face became. Chu Luo pulled the blanket and covered her face.
But at this moment, her phone rang.
She reached out for her phone from under the duvet.
Looking at the caller ID, she saw that it was from Wang Mingtao.
Wang Mingtao said over the phone, “Sister Chu, do you know who contacted me just now?”
Chu Luo lay on the bed and didn’t want to get up. She asked casually, “Who?”
Wang Mingtao: “Dave.”
Chu Luo: “Huh? Why did he contact you?”
Wang Mingtao: “He said that he wants to travel to the empire and look at the online market at the same time.”
Chu Luo was silent for a few seconds before asking, “Why did he call you?”
Wang Mingtao was also puzzled. “I don’t know. Back then, when I went down to pick up the four seniors, I talked to him for a while… Oh right, he was worried about the seniors. Before he left, we even gave each other our contact numbers.”
Chu Luo frowned. “What else did he ask?”
Wang Mingtao: “Nothing much, he just asked if school was starting soon.”
Chu Luo responded with an “Mm.” The two of them spoke for a while before hanging up.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Luo didn’t want to stay in bed anymore. After she got out of bed, washed up, and went downstairs, she saw the butler saying something to Chen Xuan.
