Chapter 625: Chapter 625: Don’t Be Too Obvious About Protecting Your Husband Chapter 625: Chapter 625: Don’t Be Too Obvious About Protecting Your Husband Lu Mian looked up at the seriously stern Ya Ling, twitching the corner of her mouth.
“Uh, it’s not that serious.”
“You rarely ask others for help, and since you’ve asked, it must be something important.
I get it!” Ya Ling patted her chest, “Didn’t you just tell me to move over because there was something you wanted to discuss with me…
Could it be that group of people have found us?”
Seeing that Ya Ling’s thoughts were getting more serious, Lu Mian hurriedly interjected.
I just wanted you to deliver a cup of cold medicine to Director Qimo…” Lu Mian rubbed her brow, “He caught a cold.”
Ya Ling swore silently in her heart, extremely speechless as she tugged at her red lips, “A cold isn’t a big deal, is it necessary to fuss over it ?”
Lu Mian glanced sideways, sweeping a faint look over Ya Ling.
Ya Ling immediately cowered, “Alright, alright, I get it, I’m impressed!
Lovers in love are all helpless, porcelain dolls!”
“Helpless monsters mean he feeds you, he gives you water, he takes care of you as if you were a useless person without hands.
Porcelain dolls are about being so precious and fragile that even a scratched skin, a sneeze or a single tear dropped is considered a disaster.”
“His cold is partly my fault, I can’t just ignore it,” Lu Mian felt that Ya Ling’s words weren’t right.
As a troublemaker enthusiast, Ya Ling suddenly became interested.
How did you pass it on?”
“During those few days at the farm, my room was being used to cultivate Netherman, so I rested in Director Qimo’s room.
But I’m quite restless when I sleep at night, which kept him from getting good rest, and he fell ill once we came back.”
Lu Mian described it calmly and naturally, but Ya Ling’s wide eyes blinked in confusion, her long eyelashes fluttering like little brushes.
“Brother Mian…” She tucked a strand of her long hair behind her ear, asking with amusement, “Who told you that you’re restless in your sleep?”
She had never seen anyone more proper in their sleep than Lu Mian!
Whoever could tell Brother Mian such a thing clearly wanted to cover something up!
“Ah, really?” Lu Mian was half-doubtful, so how did she end up from the floor to the bed every night?
“Brother Mian, it must be…”
Just as Ya Ling was eager to stir up some trouble, Lu Mian waved her off: “Oh, it’s not important.”
“…” Brother Mian, your intention to protect your husband couldn’t be any more obvious, aaaah!
Lu Mian skipped over that subject, and then really became serious.
“Zero, I’ll probably be away for a while soon.
Please look after our friends and family in Wucheng and Jinjing at that time.”
“You’re speaking as if you’re settling your final affairs, what’s going on?”
“Just listen to me,” Lu Mian took her hand, her eyes gentle and patient as she looked at her, reflecting with emotion, “You also need to recover as soon as possible.
If one day I end up on the operation table, out of my senses, I trust no one but you.”
“Brother Mian!” More than ever, Ya Ling felt her tone was too pessimistic.
But before she could ask anything more, Lu Mian had already gathered her clothes around her and turned to leave.
Ya Ling stepped forward, grabbing hold of her.
“What’s this about Interpol’s global reward for Number Thirteen?
Are you trying to make yourself bait to draw those villains out?”
Ya Ling had been wanting to ask her this for a while.
In the beginning, each of the five of them was confined in different laboratories.
She didn’t know how Brother Mian managed to escape at first, but she did know that after Lu Mian herself was rescued, she started looking all over the world for the four of them.
After finding them, she brought them out one by one, giving each of them a new lease on life.
That group of evil people treated the five of them as “experimental subjects” with an attitude of watchfulness, hunting, and experimentation, and would not let them die easily.
But that group of people harbored a deep-seated and intense hatred for Number Thirteen.
Because Number Thirteen had destroyed their five laboratories, taken away their test subjects, one could infer with the tips of their toes how eager those people were to capture Number Thirteen and vent their anger.
They just didn’t know that Number Thirteen was Brother Mian.
But now that Number Thirteen had become a globally wanted figure, once Brother Mian’s identity was revealed to the world, it would mean that those evildoers might come seeking revenge on Brother Mian like mad dogs…
Ya Ling didn’t dare to continue thinking about it and grasped Lu Mian’s wrist tightly, pleading, “It’s too dangerous, don’t do this.”
“Ya Ling,” Lu Mian placed her other hand over Ya Ling’s and used a bit of force to pull away Ya Ling’s grasp, “Don’t overthink, with the international police involved this time, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
She also wanted to use the hands of the international police to completely eradicate the other party.
“Everything is not a big problem, you take on everything yourself, do you think you’re some kind of omnipotent savior?”
Lu Mian looked at Ya Ling’s somewhat moist eyes and pulled a tender, patient smile on her lips, coaxing Ya Ling as if she was comforting her girlfriend.
“I’m not a savior, I’m just doing what I want to do.”
“Brother Mian, you…” Ya Ling didn’t know what to say, resting her gloomy forehead against Lu Mian’s shoulder, “How do you know the international police are looking for those people?
Maybe the case they’re investigating has nothing to do with the kidnapping.
She wasn’t foolish; she had a clear idea of what Director Qimo was busying himself with in silence.
“Alright, my cousin must be getting anxious.
I’m going back to my room now.”
“Brother Mian, ask Sikong again.
He has more information at his end, and I think it’s better to consult him.”
“…” Lu Mian paused as if something had come to mind, “Don’t ask.”
Having said that, she lowered her lashes, and this time she really left.
Ya Ling pondered over her odd expression just now.
Could it be that this girl and Sikong Jian had another falling out?
Watching Lu Mian return to her room, Ya Ling still remembered her instructions.
She took two packets of cold effervescent powder from the medicine box downstairs and knocked on Xiao Qimo’s door.
Ya Ling witnessed first-hand how Xiao Qimo’s eyes dimmed from brightness.
Ya Ling: Thank you, I have been hurt.
She jangled the two packets of medicine in her hand with a click of her tongue and opened her mouth to complain.
Xiao, please control your microexpressions.”
Xiao Qimo coughed lightly, and he was relatively polite to Ya Ling; after all, she was Lu Mian’s sister and a friend bound by life and death.
She would be one of their own in the future.
“Miss Ya, what is it?”
“Here, it’s not for me.
Brother Mian asked me to prepare this cold medicine for you.”
Xiao Qimo’s smile was refined, and he felt warm inside.
He almost forgot, but Mianmian still remembered.
Sick or not, he had to accept his wife’s kindness, waiting patiently.
But he saw Ya Ling carelessly toss the two packets his way, with no intention of brewing them for him.
Xiao, your eyes are clear and bright, your complexion is good, no signs of a runny nose or cough, you don’t seem to be showing signs of a cold.”
Playing sick in front of a doctor, don’t even think about it.
Xiao Qimo remained composed, his handsome features not betraying any sign of embarrassment.
Ya Ling chuckled softly and shook her head, admiring his good psychological resilience.
“However, telling our Brother Mian that she’s restless in her sleep is a bit too much.
She’s so well-behaved and proper when she sleeps, yet you still deceive her…”
