C9

Silence, a deathly silence.

Other than the breathing of each other, there was nothing else in the ward.

The stifling pressure in the air caused everyone's chest to feel stuffy. Li Yan Chen's face was so dark that water dripped from it, but Li Xiao Chu still had no intention of surrendering.

She raised her neck, her posture was stiff, and her small, tense face was filled with a stubbornness that had never been seen before.

This was the first time she had shown her bad nature in front of Li Yanchen.

But in truth, before she met Li Yan Chen, she had always been willful.

She retracted all her claws and claws in front of him, quietly acting like a well-behaved girl. She folded herself into a curve that suited him the most.

How hard she tried to cooperate with him, he never knew.

Li Xiaoxi, who no longer followed in Li Yan Chen's footsteps, revealed her little temper. When she resisted stubbornly, her little claws were like a cat's hair standing on end, causing people to be tempted to stroke her back.

Li Yan Chen did not evade her gaze at all and saw a spirit energy he had never seen before. It was so enchanting that it made him want to immerse himself in it.

"It's rare for you to remember my words so clearly. Do you still remember me saying that women have a natural advantage?"

Li Yan Chen said in a low and alluring voice.

Li Xiaoyu shivered all of a sudden. She suddenly realized that talking to a businessman like him was the same as constantly sending herself into his stomach.

"What do you mean?"

She was wary, but useless.

Li Yan Chen took a step forward and easily pushed her down onto the bed, using his height as an advantage. Even if he stood on the edge of the bed and bent down, he could still hold her tightly between his arms.

The two of them stood very close to each other. Their breaths were intertwined with each other's, creating an ambiguous atmosphere.

He looked flirtatiously across her features, from her brow to the tip of her nose to her lips. "You're not the only one who wants to make money."

As Li Yan Chen spoke, his lips brushed hers, causing Li Xiao Chu to shiver.

She was tense to the point that her back was tight, as if she had never been there before. Even her toes were taut.

Li Yanchen took the lead again. He rolled onto the bed and slid his hand down her cheek, the soft, delicate touch making him love her.

"How about we make a deal? One million yuan per transaction is much faster than what you earn from working."

A hoarse voice rang in his ears, Li Xiaoxi's blurry eyes instantly became clear.

Li Xiaoxi felt as if someone had cut his scalp open and poured cold water over his head. The pain of his skin splitting was transmitted to his nerves, and Li Xiaoxi felt chills all over his body.

He always did his best to look down on her. As his legal wife, he even had to pay for the same bed.

"Li Yan Chen, are you treating me like a prostitute?"

Li Xiao Chu asked calmly, waiting for his answer.

Li Yan Chen's movement came to a halt. He looked up from her chest and entered a pair of lifeless eyes. A familiar stabbing pain came from his heart.

"Am I that cheap in your eyes?" she asked again, her voice tinged with sadness.

He did not reply. He could not find any words to reply.

However, his silence was the death sentence for Li Xiaoxi. She closed her eyes, and a flash of tears appeared in the corner of her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, it was already clear and bright.

She suddenly raised her hand and wrapped it around his neck. With a light tug, he was on top of her.

Li Xiaochu took the initiative to peck his lips, "One million at a time, is Mr. Li that generous to others?"

Li Xiaoxi, who no longer acted according to the rules, exuded a unique charm. Li Yan Chen's eyes gradually turned darker as he recklessly allowed her to pull him into the abyss.

He responded to the kiss fervently, and as his lips and teeth intertwined, his words began to blur.

"There's no one else, just you."

Li Xiaoxi didn't hear it clearly, the pain in his back blended with the pleasure he brought.

In her sinking state, she couldn't tell if her back hurt more, or if her body was happier.

The night in the ward had been crazy and unprecedented.

She couldn't remember how many times Li Yan Chen had asked her to do this. In the end, she couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep slumber. When she woke up, it was already the next morning.

He habitually opened his phone and found the bank account entry message.

One million to write down the funds for the Fang Li Group.

"Heh."

A chuckle came from his throat as Li Xiaoxi moved his finger around the screen, clicking to delete the text.

She didn't have any mental illness, so she kept the evidence that he had humiliated her.

After the text message was deleted, she dialed Yang Zhen's number. The moment it was connected, a deafening roar came from the other end of the phone, "You still know to call me. If it wasn't for the news saying that you are out of danger, I would have almost killed my way into the Li family!"

Li Xiaochu rubbed his ears, which had gone numb from her roars, and asked a few questions before he understood that Li Yan Chen had blocked all calls to her phone.

No wonder, she said her cell phone hadn't rung since yesterday.

"Has the news of me being injured spread like wildfire again?" Li Xiaoxi calmed down and asked the main point.

Yang Zhen's voice drifted into his ears from the microphone, "No, I don't know who suppressed this incident, but there is very little news on the internet about the accident, only a statement on TV. Our company definitely doesn't have such a large sum of money, I guess, most of it was solved by the Li Group's PR team."

Li Group?

Li Yan Chen had actually helped her suppress public opinion for the first time in her life. This was simply unimaginable.

"By the way, how are you? Are your injuries serious? " Yang Zhen asked worriedly.

Li Xiaoxi comforted her, "It's nothing, it's just a minor injury. Speaking of which, I don't know if her injuries are serious or not."

"She? "Who is it?" Yang Zhen asked subconsciously.

Her question caused Li Xiaoxi to be stunned. Something flashed through his mind, but he was unable to grasp it. She slowly said, "The girl who was injured with me, don't you know?"

"No, the news only mentioned you. It didn't say that you had any other injuries. What happened?"

When Yang Zhen's words landed, Li Xiaochu felt a gust of wind blow into his bones.

Her heart, which had long been empty, began to ache again. She lowered her eyes and silently smiled bitterly.

She knew that Li Yan Chen would not act in such a kind manner.

The more controversial she was, the better. Why would he take the initiative to help her?

There was only one reason for him to make a move, and that was that this matter involved Jiang Luoluo.

He carefully protected her, not allowing any external force to hurt her. Speaking of which, she still had to thank Jiang Luoshen.

It was because of her that he didn't need to go on a hot search again.

"Little Chu?"

Yang Zhen didn't hear anything for a long time. He called out to Li Xiaoxi in confusion. Li Xiaoxi retracted his dull gaze, and said in a low voice, "Zhen, can you do me a favor?"

The whisper by his ear made Yang Zhen freeze, "You're crazy!"
