An Yan laughed, took the bank cards Wen Ya handed her, and placed them in An Yaoluo’s hands. "Take this money and continue with the new project, Big Brother."
An Yaoluo was surprised. "You an... the project is ours?"
An Yan nodded. "Yes, Ling Xiao said he can tell you’re sincerely working on it, Big Brother, and he believes you can do a good job."
"Thank you, Yanyan!" An Yaoluo was overjoyed. "Then I won’t be coy. After this project is completed, I’ll give you a share of the profits!"
Thinking of buying peace of mind with money? An Yan wouldn’t give him that chance. "No need."
An Yaoluo felt another pang of discomfort in his heart. "Yanyan, don’t be so distant with ..."
"If there’s nothing else, I’m going to Li Tianyao’s place," An Yan said.
"What are you going to do at his place?" An Zhongbo and An Yaoluo asked in unison.
An Yan replied, "He took a knife for today! While he’s immobile, I want to take care of him personally."
"Doesn’t he have his own assistant?" An Zhongbo frowned. "Yanyan, listen to your father. You may not understand n’s little tricks, but I do. He’s just trying to take the opportunity to cling to you! Don’t fall for his trickery!"
An Yan said, "If he took a knife for and I showed no gratitude, would he help again if I faced danger in the future? Besides, what happened today wasn’t a natural disaster; it was man-made!"
After speaking, she turned and went upstairs.
An Yaoluo and An Zhongbo both felt a surge of distress. Today’s calamity was caused by their own foolish actions.
"Yaoluo, I think I understand why Axuan would rather struggle alone outside than return ho!" An Zhongbo murmured. "When he insisted on joining the military back then, it might have been to flee from our family! Counting from when he joined the military at eighteen, it’s been a full six years. In that ti, he’s only co back three tis, and each ti, he didn’t even stay the night before leaving again! To this day, I still don’t know what he’s been up to all these years."
An Yaoluo said, "I know. He entered the entertainnt industry, but he’s never really made a na for himself there!"
"Who can make a na for themselves in the entertainnt industry without soone to promote them? Since you knew, why didn’t you help him?"
"I..." An Yaoluo sighed. "Let sort out the project, and then I’ll go see how he’s doing."
Previously, he was indeed annoyed with An Duxuan, resenting that he always stirred up trouble whenever he returned, and he hadn’t wanted to waste ti worrying about him. Only after witnessing it firsthand did he realize it wasn’t An Duxuan causing trouble, but An Shing and Bai Xiaoyun deliberately instigating it. And to think he was so blind at the ti, falling for that mother and daughter’s deceit!
「Li Family. Study.」
Under the warm white light of a reading lamp, a handso man dressed in black loungewear held Bamboo Slips, reading intently.
An Yan pushed the door open and entered. She was taken aback by the scene before her. Of course, if not for the glaring white bandage on his hand, the scene would have been even more aesthetically pleasing.
"Li Tianyao, ti to rest?"
The man put down the Bamboo Slips. "Hmm."
Only after An Yan had tidied up the desk did Li Tianyao move towards his bedroom. An Yan eagerly followed, entering the bathroom to squeeze toothpaste for him. While he brushed his teeth, she prepared a basin of hot water, placed a clean towel in it, swirled it around, wrung it until it was semi-dry, then turned to him. "Let wipe your face for you!"
Li Tianyao’s eyebrows twitched slightly. "So enthusiastic to co and take care of , just to wipe my face?"
"First the face. After that, I’ll help you wash your feet!"
"Is that all?"
"What else?"
Li Tianyao was amused by her matter-of-fact expression. "I want to take a bath!"
The girl’s expression suddenly froze. "Can’t you endure it for a few days?"
"Endure? For a few days?"
An Yan was speechless. "..."
Watching the girl struggle with the idea of helping him bathe as if it were torture, the man magnanimously let her off the hook. "Forget it. I’ll do it myself. You can leave."
An Yan’s face turned red with embarrassnt. "If you really want to bathe, should I call Lu Feng to co in for you?"
"No need." Who would want a grown man to help him bathe? Wouldn’t that be awkward!
"Oh." An Yan quickly exited the bathroom. At the door, she turned back and dutifully reminded him, "Don’t get the wound wet!"
Inside the bathroom, Li Tianyao’s lips curved up slightly. Then, he focused his attention on his reflection in the mirror. His eyes had changed from their original black to an amber color. He didn’t know what that ant, but he could feel his body growing weaker as the color of his eyes lightened. Previously, his wounds would heal instantly, but now a knife wound took more than half an hour to recover. Perhaps without that strange power, he would beco an ordinary person, would age and get sick like any other, and even reach the end of life. But the ending he once longed for, this ti, he was reluctant to face. Because for the first ti in his life, he had feelings for a woman, and he wanted to stay with her for a few more years!
The sound of running water ca from the bathroom.
In An Yan’s mind, an image involuntarily flashed: the noble and aloof Li Tianyao, bathing with an injured hand... Ugh, that image seed sowhat funny!
An Yan hurriedly dismissed the thought, focusing on her plan of action for the night. The dicine was ready, and all the tools were prepared. Unfortunately, the Divination Technique couldn’t predict whether tonight’s activities would go smoothly or not. Sigh! Ever since she had that thing in her mind, she wanted to calculate the outco of everything, big or small. Other things were fine, but she couldn’t calculate anything about Li Tianyao! No, there was also the thumb ring! She had figured out that it was a key, but she couldn’t determine where the lock was! Isn’t that frustrating!
An Yan looked at the tree in her mind with discontent. On a faintly visible branch hung two leaves. One leaf represented two days, so two leaves ant four days. The extent of her calculations was limited to events within that four-day range. And well, to reveal a leaf, she sotis had to hit one or even two people. There’s no telling how many leaves are actually on that branch. The most regrettable thing today was not being able to hit An Shing again. When she hit her, the Bai Wu moved, but it rely shifted and didn’t reveal a new leaf! The next opportunity to hit her is uncertain. Given An Shing’s personality, she definitely wouldn’t want to go to school with a swollen mouth and would probably take leave! Apart from An Shing, who else could be considered scum? No matter how she thought about it, Mrs. Lin didn’t seem like a good person, but why didn’t hitting her work?
Lost in her thoughts, the bathroom door opened. The man stepped out, wrapped in a bathrobe. His black hair, wet from the water, was tousled on his head. Water droplets trickled from his temples down his sharply contoured face, slowly dripping onto his prominent collarbones and disappearing into his partially open bathrobe. The mature sensuality of a grown man assaulted An Yan’s gaze completely off guard.
She quickly averted her eyes, but behind her, the man’s light laughter rang out.
