A Little Tempted

Why would a perfectly fine person disappear?

Could it be that she really wronged Yangyang, and that was why Yangyang left the manor?

"My husband, do you think Yangyang ran away from home because she was angry at me for making her kneel in the ancestral hall?" Xiao Lianyi muttered.

It was only then did Chi Yi find out that his daughter had been punished by his wife to kneel in the ancestral hall.

No wonder he hadn't seen Yangyang since his return.

He couldn't help but blame the Madam for her 'indecisiveness'.

But Chi Yi still helped Xiao Lianyi up from the ground, comforting her, "Even if Yangyang can walk out of the ancestral hall, she can't leave the Chi residence quietly,"

Someone must have brought her out of the residence.

However, Yangyang was unfamiliar with the place. How could she know someone who could bring her out of the residence quietly?

"Quick, send the soldiers to find her. My Yangyang has just returned to my side..." As he said that, Xiao Lianyi started crying again.

At this moment, in the private room of the Peace Bookstore….

"Do you think they will come looking for me if I suddenly disappear?" Chi Yang took the time to ask Shen Juan.

Chi Yao must have known something since she put herself in that situation today. Of course, she couldn't expect her to be fine.

If they sent people to search, Shen Juan's bookstore might not be safe…

What should she do?

Shen Juan stopped and looked up at Chi Yang.

How could she not be focused at a time like this?

So he distracted her…

Then, Chi Yang no longer had the mood to think about other things.

...

Chi Yang felt refreshed after he was done with her "workout". After she tidied her dress, she remembered that she had something to ask Shen Jue.

"When can this poison be completely cured?"

She was afraid that she would get used to it one day if she always ordered the male protagonist around…

Shen Juan was stunned.

What did Chi Yang take himself for? Could it be that he had not done well enough in some way that Chi Yang had thought of leaving him?

He was about to lie, but in the end, he changed his mind.

"It won't act up again after this."

Chi Yang immediately beamed when she heard the news.

Shen Juan looked at Chi Yang's smiling face and suddenly felt good for telling the truth.

"Thank you so much, Shen Jue!" Chi Yang excitedly exclaimed. With a "smack", she kissed Shen Juan's forehead.

A few seconds later, Chi Yang finally realized what she had done.

'Aiya, conditioned reflex, conditioned reflex.'

Chi Yang snuggled back into the blanket, not wanting to look at Shen Juan's expression.

However, she suddenly heard Shen Jue's carefree laughter.

Chi Yang poked her head out from under the blanket and looked at Shen Juan. What was he so happy about?

Unexpectedly, she just noticed a bleeding wound on Shen Jue's lower abdomen.

"Shen Jue, stop laughing. Your wound opened up," Chi Yang reminded.

Shen Juan looked at Chi Yang, who had poked her head out from the pile of blankets, speaking to him in a gentle tone. His heart swelled and the first thought that came to his mind was: She was concerned about me.

Shen Juan lowered his head to look at the wound on his abdomen and casually wiped the blood.

Chi Yang, who was lying on the bed, was dumbstruck. Was this how a wound was treated?

Aren't you afraid of infection?

Judging from his proficiency, this was not the first time he had done this!

This male lead's halo was a little too big!

"Uh... Does it hurt?" Chi Yang asked blankly.

Shen Juan was stunned. Would anyone ask him if it hurt?

Was it painful? Naturally, it was painful.

But what was the use of saying it?

Chi Yang looked at Shen Juan, who seemed to be lost in his own thoughts and tried to recall the villain from the novel.

The Shen Juan in the novel was born with a mother who did not dote on him and a father who did not love him. Unfortunately, his father had many enemies. His skills were trained through assassination attempts. When he was young, he would cry about his injuries, but when he found out that no one came to care for him, he stopped crying and gritted his teeth to endure it.

After that, he became Shen Juan, the terrifying Prince of Yanzhou, and his cavalry.
