Chapter 856 Midnight Ambush Part 1

Bai Ruozhu struggled for a moment, indicating that she wanted Jiang Yichun to put her down, but the fellow held on tightly and simply wouldn't let her go. Second Brother seemed a bit dazed as he watched them, making her face burn with heat.

"What's wrong with Ruozhu?" coming back to his senses, Bai Zepei asked with concern.

"She fainted from exhaustion. I was afraid she'd fall," Jiang Yichun answered coolly, but his tone and demeanor were very composed, as if to say, 'My wife, I'll hold her if I want to, who cares.'

Bai Zepei felt a sting in his heart, which made him unnaturally awkward.

"I was trying to coax Dengdeng to sleep and didn't want to disturb Qin Kaichang, so I came over to your side. Now that everything is fine, I'll go back," he said and started to walk outside.

"Second Brother, thank you," Bai Ruozhu, being held by Jiang Yichun and unable to struggle free, felt extremely embarrassed to even call out to Second Brother.
