111 Will Be in Charge
Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an as she blushed, red as a tomato.
Luo Jin’an was confused and thought something had happened to Su Binglan. “What happened just now? Was it bad?”
He looked at Su Binglan’s face and thought she didn’t look well, but if he were more observant, he would have noticed she was blushing.
Of course, Luo Jin’an did not think about that because he thought Su Binglan’s red face had something to do with her fever.
‘Is her fever worsening?’
He reached out and placed his palm on Su Binglan’s forehead to check her temperature. It was an involuntary action, and Luo Jin’an did not overthink it.
Despite that, Su Binglan felt the warmth of her husband’s palm. At that moment, Luo Jin’an realized what he had done and felt his palm was scalding hot. His hand began to tremble shortly after.
Then he recalled the scene from before where he saw how Su Binglan looked when she was bathing in the wooden tub. He was only worried something might happen to her and did not think much about it.
However, the atmosphere became awkward, and Luo Jin’an could not help but think of Su Binglan in the tub. He felt his blood boiling at that moment, but he immediately calmed himself and said lowly, “You still have a fever.”
Su Binglan looked at the calm Luo Jin’an and pursed her lips. After hesitating, she asked softly, “Um, my clothes… What happened?”
After that, her voice became gentler and quieter. Su Binglan wanted to be direct and ask if he had dressed her, so after some hesitation, she finally did.
After asking, Su Binglan felt embarrassed, so she lowered her head, not daring to look at Luo Jin’an’s expression. However, Su Binglan did not notice Luo Jin’an’s reddened ears when she looked down.
“Ahem…” Luo Jin’an cleared his throat and responded, “I-I needed to do it, considering the circumstances. You fainted in the wooden tub, so I dressed you.”
‘So, he did dress me!’
When Su Binglan raised her head to look at Luo Jin’an, she saw that he was calm. According to her predecessor’s memories, Luo Jin’an was unaffected by any temptations the dark spirit threw at him.
“Well, I sincerely thank you. I may have fallen asleep while I was soaking in the tub.” Su Binglan’s mind was not as narrow as it used to be.
Luo Jin’an said, “I will take responsibility for my actions.”
Su Binglan was shocked when she heard these words. ‘What does he mean by that?’
Luo Jin’an was a righteous man, but Su Binglan could not reprimand him for something like that. She would feel guilty if she did.
She said in a free and straightforward manner, “It’s okay. You didn’t do anything wrong anyway. Just pretend you didn’t see anything. There’s nothing to be responsible for.”
Unexpectedly, Luo Jin’an’s expression changed when he heard this. He looked at Su Binglan with a dark and gloomy gaze.
Su Binglan’s heart trembled when her husband looked at her that way. Su Binglan wondered why she suddenly felt guilty, as if she had done something that let Luo Jin’an down, but she did not.
‘I wouldn’t tell him to take responsibility for helping me. How could I?’
Su Binglan thought she did not make herself clear enough, so she said, “We agreed that we are only husband and wife by law. You are a free man, so you don’t have to worry about anything. You won’t have to take responsibility for anything.
Luo Jin’an simply looked at Su Binglan quietly. He only said, “I’m going to brew the medicine.”
Su Binglan stroked her chin and muttered, “I didn’t say anything wrong, did I? Why does he seem angry?”
