Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Undressing Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Undressing As Li Yehan’s thin lips drew nearer, Nan Qiao placed her hand on his firm chest, just intending to push him away when Li Yehan’s lips moved past hers towards her ear.
“Qiaoqiao, thank you.”
Nan Qiao’s body visibly flinched, an electric current surging throughout her being, leaving her staring dazedly at Li Yehan.
Li Yehan’s face was just in front of hers, his handsome features pleasing to the eye.
His eyes, no longer the fierce red from before, held a tender gaze, somewhat warm.
“Qiaoqiao, you believe in me, and that makes me very happy.”
Li Yehan propped himself up on his arms, his eyes smiling.
Nan Qiao’s heart softened in an instant.
Li Yehan looked like a little puppy that had been abandoned, his soft gaze truly captivating.
“Li Yehan, you should get up first.”
Li Yehan still propped on his arms, his gaze intense as he stared at her.
The room was as bright as day, allowing Nan Qiao to clearly see every expression on Li Yehan’s face.
Their position was ambiguous, with Nan Qiao pushing him, “You should get up first, let’s talk properly.”
Li Yehan fixed his gaze on her and said, “Do you want to know about my past?”
Nan Qiao replied, “I don’t want to know, everyone has a past.
We shouldn’t always dwell on it but should look forward instead.”
Li Yehan smiled, getting up from her.
He found a pack of cigarettes, took one out, lit it up, and with a bloodthirsty smile at the corner of his lips said, “He has an illegitimate child, and now he wants me to give up the company to him.
How could I possibly hand over the company, I must safeguard my mom’s belongings.”
Li Yehan blew out a ring of smoke, sneered, and laughed, “My mom died in front of me, I grabbed a knife and slashed him, slashed until he was hospitalized; everyone said I was a madman, that I was insane.”
Li Yehan turned his head to look at Nan Qiao, smiled softly, and asked, “What do you think, am I a madman?”
Nan Qiao paused, softly saying, “How could you be a madman, you’re not.”
Nan Qiao thought Li Tianhong was the scum, cheating in marriage, fathering an illegitimate child, and causing Li Yehan’s mother’s death.
How could Li Yehan be a madman?
He was merely provoked, seeking revenge for his mother.
Li Yehan maliciously smiled, pressing the cigarette butt hard into the ashtray, “Thank you.”
Nan Qiao watched him sitting alone in the vast living room, lonely and pitiful, like a child with no home to return to; suddenly, she wanted to reach out and pat his head.
Nan Qiao thought so, and she did just that.
Her soft hand touched Li Yehan’s head, stunning Li Yehan.
The scene was a bit awkward, with Nan Qiao’s phone ringing, allowing her to push him aside.
“I need to answer this.”
Li Yehan got up as Nan Qiao frantically took out her phone and answered the call.
It was Chen Xinwan’s concerned voice, “Baby Qiaoqiao, haven’t you come home yet?
Work is too hard, let’s not go to work anymore, okay?”
Nan Qiao’s voice was tender, “Mom, I’ll be back soon.”
I’ll come pick you up.”
“No need, I’ve driven myself, I’ll be home soon.”
After a few more words from Chen Xinwan, the call ended.
Holding her phone, Nan Qiao told Li Yehan beside her, “Li Yehan, I need to go home now.”
Li Yehan frowned, “My wound hurts a bit.”
Only then did Nan Qiao remember, she had come to bring medicine for Li Yehan today.
“Where’s your medicine box, let me help you check.”
Li Yehan stood up, “Let’s go to my room, you wouldn’t want me to undress here, would you?”
Going to his room felt a bit too intimate, didn’t it?
As Li Yehan attempted to move, Nan Qiao grasped his arm, “The servants have left, it’s okay to undress here.”
Without Li Yehan’s command, who would dare come over?
Nan Qiao looked apprehensive, which made Li Yehan laugh, “Are you afraid that I might harbor inappropriate intentions?”
Li Yehan, amidst Nan Qiao’s flustered gaze, had already stood up to look for the medicine box.
Nan Qiao saw his pristine leather shoes and watched his long legs growing more distant.
Soon, Li Yehan brought over the medical kit.
He took off his suit jacket, then unbuttoned his white shirt, removing it.
His robust physique had not an ounce of extra fat, and his arms looked powerful.
He lay on the sofa, broad shoulders and narrow hips, his figure totally captivating.
That body is too perfect!
Nan Qiao’s face turned red unconsciously.
Li Yehan turned his head and, seeing Nan Qiao’s shy expression, chuckled softly, “Have you seen enough?”

In a flurry, Nan Qiao took out a cotton swab and, as she checked Li Yehan’s back, found that his injury showed no signs of improvement.
“Li Yehan, do you even care about your body at all?”
Nan Qiao, being a doctor, truly got angry when she saw patients neglecting their health.
Nan Qiao, huffing with annoyance, still looked quite arresting—a sight that kept Li Yehan’s attention fixed on her: “Don’t be angry.”
Ignoring Li Yehan, Nan Qiao said, “Lie still.”
Li Yehan obediently lay still, letting Nan Qiao treat his wound, apply medication, and wrap it up.
After she had done all of this, Nan Qiao put away the medical kit.
“Li Yehan, I’m going home now.”
Li Yehan sat up, “Have dinner before you go, I’ll drive you home.”
“No need, I drove here.”
Li Yehan, without a shirt, looked at her, “Are you in such a hurry to leave?”
“My family called me, if I don’t go back now, they’ll worry.”
Li Yehan knew the Bai Family valued Nan Qiao highly and could only put on his shirt, “I’ll take you home, I’d be worried if you went back alone.”
On this matter, Li Yehan was particularly firm and insistent.
Having made concessions, Nan Qiao could only let him drive her home.
At the door, Nan Qiao saw the bodyguard.
“Li Yehan, have him drive my car back to my place.”
The bodyguard, catching one look at Li Yehan’s expression, panicked: “Madam, I’m sorry, I can’t drive!”
She wasn’t anyone’s madam.
But Li Yehan actually cracked a smile, and seeing this, the bodyguard felt relieved, secure in his job.
Nan Qiao turned to another bodyguard: “What about you?”
“Madam, I’ve been drinking, I can’t drive drunk.”
“Madam, my stomach hurts, driving could distract me and cause an accident.”
my foot hurts, I can’t drive.”
I’m thinking of my wife, I’m lovesick, I can’t drive.”
Did they plan this together?
Having no more will to argue, Nan Qiao just let Li Yehan drive her home.
While in the car, Nan Qiao received another call from Chen Xinwan.
“Qiaoqiao darling, are you back yet?
Your third brother just got home and is waiting for you.
He even brought a gift, welcoming you back.”
Third brother is back?
But how come she didn’t remember this third brother being welcoming at all?
Wouldn’t meeting him be extremely awkward?
