"Zichen, you …?" Tao Tian stared at Lei Zichen in fear.

"Yao Yao, don't worry. I won't hurt you anymore." Lei Zichen whispered into Tao Tian's ear.

"I won't hurt you anymore, even if you do …" Lei Zichen silently said in his heart.

"Zichen," Tao Tian wrapped his arm around Lei Zichen's neck and hugged him tightly, afraid that he would be separated from him in the next second.

"Lei Zichen carefully placed Tao Tian into the bathtub. His milky-white skin and warm water formed a beautiful picture scroll in front of Lei Zichen.

Lei Zichen helped Tao Tian bathe bit by bit. He was as gentle as water. Compared to that brutal night, he was like a completely different person.

Tao Tian embarrassedly lowered his head. Even though they were already married, she had never tried to face Lei Zichen in this way before.

"Yao Yao, come and raise your arm." Lei Zichen very elegantly helped Tao Tian clean up. He wasn't the least bit taken aback by the beautiful scene in front of him.

After a moment of careful cleaning, his forehead started to drip with sweat.

"Zichen." Looking at the gentle Lei Zichen as always, Tao Tian's heart warmed. He had already agreed to leave it for Huanghun. How could he go back on his word?

"Alright, I've washed up." Lei Zichen said to Tao Tian as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Tao Tian smiled at Lei Zichen, wanting to stand up from the bathtub himself.

"Yao Yao." Lei Zichen held onto Tao Yao's arm. With a handsome face, he leaned forward and gently kissed Tao Tian's lips.

He still wanted to treat her with such gentleness. No matter what she did, he just couldn't harden his heart.

When he saw her, his entire heart unconsciously softened.

It had been a long time since he had received such a gentle question from Lei Zichen. Tao Tian obediently closed his eyes and immersed himself within. How long had it been since such a wonderful feeling visited him?

As the kiss gradually deepened, Lei Zichen's hand quietly slid down Tao Tian's smooth back, finally stopping on the towering mountain peak.

Tao Tian began to tremble. She was afraid of him.

Aware of Tao Tian's cowardice, Lei Zichen only kissed him and didn't move any further.

After tasting her sweet and fragrant scent, Lei Zichen slowly loosened his lips and looked at Tao Tian with a face full of emotion.

Discarding all worldly disputes, he loved her so much that he even used his own life to love her.

"Come on, let's go in and rest," Lei Zichen said as he carried her into the bedroom and helped her dry.

He turned off the light and gently held her in his arms.

"Yao Yao, let's sleep." Lei Zichen gently called out to her …

Tao Tian obediently nodded his furry head. He snuggled into Lei Zichen's embrace. This embrace, this familiar aura and feeling, returned back to his side. There was no cruelty or uneasiness in this embrace. This hug, let her feel at ease.

A good night's dream …

"Miss, the Young Master asked me to ask you how is your injury." The next day, Tao Tian received a call from Ning Zhiyuan on campus.

"Ah, Brother Zhiyuan, everything is fine now." Tao Tian was a bit embarrassed.

"It's really okay?" Ning Zhiyuan couldn't believe it.

"Yeah, I'm really fine now." Tao Tian confidently said.

"That's good," Ning Zhiyuan continued, "Brother Ran told me to ask you, how are your preparations?"

"Brother Zhiyuan, tell your big brother that it's almost time," Tao Tian said softly. "It'll be just two or three days. You guys should be ready anytime." Tao Tian firmly said, as if he was giving himself confidence.

Leaving Lei Zichen required a lot of determination.

After school, Tao Tian, as usual, ran to the school gates in search of Lei Zichen's car.

In the distance, Lei Zichen was busy tangling with Irene, just like yesterday.

Tao Yao wrinkled his brows, but didn't step forward. He only watched the two from afar as they continued to tangle with each other.

"Brother Zichen, you're here!" When Irene saw Lei Zichen standing there like a statue, she was pleasantly surprised. However, she had forgotten that Lei Zichen was here to pick up Tao Tian.

"Yes, Irene." Lei Zichen politely kept a distance from Irene, afraid that Irene would do something impulsive again.

"Brother Zichen, are, are you looking for me?" Irene looked at Lei Zichen with a face full of anticipation, waiting for him to nod and say yes.

"Uh, of course, I'm here to pick up my wife …" Lei Zichen was in a difficult position.

"Aooo." Irene lowered her head with a depressed look on her face.

"Brother Zichen." Suddenly, Irene's face lit up again, "How are you and Tao Tian doing?"

"We … very good." Lei Zichen shrugged with a normal look on his face.

"But, she wants to kill you!" Irene was almost a witch, and this was her spell.

Lei Zichen frowned. He raised his leg to try and leave Irene. He didn't want to continue pestering Tao Tian with this issue. After all, all of this didn't turn into reality.

"Brother Zichen, don't go!" Elin pulled Lei Zichen. Coincidentally, their dubious actions were clearly seen by Tao Tian, who was standing at the side.

"Today, I heard Tao Tian talking on the phone." Irene had a mysterious expression on her face as she moved closer to Lei Zichen. From afar, that posture really did look like Irene was kissing Lei Zichen's cheek, but Lei Zichen didn't resist at all.

Tao Yao frowned. The scene yesterday had already made her somewhat immune to it. It was just that today's scene was even more intense than before. It was about to exceed the limits of what she could bear.

"They didn't have any actual contact." Thinking back to Qing Qing's words yesterday, Tao Tian stabilized his emotions.

"Tao Yao said,

"It's these two to three days …" Irene transmitted every word of the conversation she had overheard to Lei Zichen. She knew that her victory wasn't too far off, so she was paying more attention to Tao Tian's movements like a ghost. Coincidentally, she had overheard this conversation with Ning Zhiyuan.

"What!" Lei Zichen's face was full of shock, but he tried his best to control his expression, "Irene, please don't follow me around anymore. This is my family matter, so please don't get involved in the future, okay?" Lei Zichen loudly berated Irene, his face full of anger.

"I …" Eileen mumbled, like a child doing something wrong.

"You …" When Lei Zichen saw this, he could not bear to do so.

He stopped and looked at Irene.

"Brother Zichen, I …" You... You must be careful! " Irene's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Lei Zichen. Her eyes were filled with love and reluctance.

Lei Zichen shook his head, turned around and left.

Coincidentally, he bumped into Tao Tian's gaze. Lei Zichen felt somewhat uncomfortable, as if he was a child who had done something wrong.

"Yao Yao, you came out." Lei Zichen smiled coyly, and ended up with the bag in Tao Tian's hand.

"Yeah, Zichen, let's go home." Tao Tian's face was calm, as if he hadn't seen anything at all.

"En, alright. I want to eat chicken balls. Can you cook for me?" Lei Zichen took the initiative to explain the menu.

"Alright, then hurry up and leave." Tao Tian was in high spirits. From the looks of it, he had not noticed anything.

Lei Zichen let out a long sigh of relief, started the car, and drove towards the market.

"Zichen." Tao Tian frowned as if deep in thought. If it really was true, then she would have to leave. She didn't want to leave with such regret in her heart.

"What is it?" Lei Zichen seemed to be immersed in his own world, frowning as he pondered about something.

"Will you do something that would let me down?" Tao Tian carefully asked. Perhaps she didn't even have the qualifications to ask this question, but she still wanted to know the answer.

Lei Zichen's whole body shook, as if Tao Tian's question had poked into his sensitive gene.

"How could this be? Of course not …" Lei Zichen replied softly, as if he wasn't sure.

Now, to him, although Irene's act of throwing herself into his arms was not very cold, but to Irene who constantly said, "Your wife wants to kill you." It was shocking.

He really wanted to ask Tao Tian this question. He also wanted to know the answer.

"Hmm, it's good that you don't know." Tao Tian obediently nodded his head. How could she not recognize the absent-mindedness in Lei Zichen's reply?

However, even if he tried to lie to her, he would at least prove that he had him in his heart and was willing to tell a lie for him.

Tao Tian only felt that in this relationship, she had become more and more humble and easily satisfied.

"Yao Yao." Lei Zichen frowned. Although he was looking forward, his gaze was directed at Tao Tian.

"Why?" Tao Yao raised his head and asked.

"What about you?" Lei Zichen stuttered as he spoke with a complicated expression on his face.

"Will you hurt me? Will you do something that would let me down? "

A series of questions caused Tao Tian to turn pale with fright. Lei Zichen must have known something.

Tao Tian looked at Lei Zichen for a long time …

"I won't …" Tao Tian firmly said, "Absolutely not."

Through the rear view mirror, Lei Zichen saw Tao Tian's cherry lips, slowly spitting out these words. Lei Zichen was somewhat comforted.

However, he didn't know if all of this would actually happen.

The two kept quiet for a long time, until they arrived at the market.

The two of them remained silent, each having their own thoughts. However, they still walked to the market hand in hand.

"Zichen, let's go buy some fish." Tao Tian raised his head and looked at Lei Zichen, breaking the silence.

"Mm, I'll listen to you." Lei Zichen lowered his head to look at Tao Tian and nodded.

"Boss, what's new today?" Seeing the fish shop owner who had become familiar with him, Tao Tian once again became lively.

"Ah, miss, you came to buy vegetables with mister again," Boss Yu excitedly said to Tao Tian.

"Yeah," Tao Yao nodded with a smile.

Lei Zichen was watching from the side. He had seen too many rich families, and none of them were able to enter the market like Tao Tian. They were even able to chat and laugh with the fish stall owner.

If he was pretending, then he would have already been bored to death after so many days. However, after seeing that Tao Tianle was not tired at all, it was clear that he was pretending from the bottom of his heart.

Lei Zichen looked at Tao Tian and the fish shop owner as they lowered their heads to choose fresh fish. He suddenly wanted to laugh, that kind of joyful laugh. How he wished that this scene could be frozen in such a blissful moment, how great it was!

"Boss, I want this salmon. It looks so fresh." Tao Tian pointed to the salmon swimming in the tank.

"Okay, miss. I find that you have good eyes. Look, even the gentleman you picked is a genius." Boss Yu teased Tao Tian and Lei Zichen.

Tao Tian somewhat embarrassedly lowered his head.

"Miss, the fish bag is ready. Here." The owner of the fish shop handed the wrapped fish to Lei Zichen, who was standing blankly by the side.

Lei Zichen took the fish, paid the bill, smiled at the boss, and dragged Tao Tian away.

"Sir, your wife is really a good girl. You must cherish her well." The fish shop owner replied without the slightest tiredness.

Lei Zichen nodded with a smile, agreed, and left with Tao Tian.

"Yao Yao, what are you going to do about the salmon?" Lei Zichen asked as he lifted the fish.
