Lu Juyan furrowed her brows slightly as she looked at Du Ruqing's thoughtful expression. It touched his heart and he reached out to rub her head.

"Hm, don't think too much." Lu Jingyan was reluctant to look at Du Ruqing's worried expression, so she pulled her emotions back in relief.

There was a smile on his lips, and no one could help but watch. His eyes were extremely deep, like the depths of a deep ocean. It was impossible to see the depths of his deep emotions.

Du Liqing's thoughts that were attracted by the eyes also abruptly went blank, and the originally chaotic feeling instantly dissipated.

Du Ruqing blankly stared at Lu Juyan, making him feel extremely adorable. He took back the hand he had placed on her hair and gently leaned close to Du Yun's ear. He whispered, "Looking at me like this, don't you like me?"

The teasing tone of his words caused the deeply sunken Du Liqing to immediately wake up. His eyes were clear as he looked at the man's face that was countless times larger than normal.

His heart was beating rapidly as he subconsciously avoided the sight. He pushed Du Yuan away and stood up to look at his father on the sickbed. He stuttered and said, "I, I didn't, I didn't!"

Lu Juyan found it a bit funny that Jiang Chen was so stubborn with his words. Seeing Du Liangqing's tensed body, she decided not to play a joke on her. He stretched out his hand to rub her head and slowly said, "Alright, I'll go out for a while and wait for me here."

The habitual touch made Du Ruqing feel as if she was touching a beloved pet, but she didn't notice that Lu Juyan liked touching those he wasn't interested in at all.

As Du Liqing watched Lu Juyan's departing figure, a strange feeling welled up from the bottom of her heart all of a sudden. The stifling feeling made her feel uncomfortable.

He walked to the window and let the cold wind caress her face, enjoying the serenity. At the same time, he was also trying to suppress the hot and humid feeling on his face.

"Hey, Western Australia. Check to see if the attending doctor and nurse in charge of old man Dean's ward have been bribed."

Lu Juyan walked out of the ward and stood on a rather remote balcony. He habitually opened the window and took out his phone to make a regular call. As soon as the other party picked up the call, he coldly ordered and went straight to the point.

"Yes." When Western Australia heard Lu Juyan's words, they had the urge to beat him to death, but they still pretended to be calm and sincere on the surface.

Inwardly, he was complaining angrily: Since you're asking for overtime, why don't you give me a fee? Do I have to knock you on the door!?

Having received his consent, Lu Juyan hung up the phone, not wanting to hear the slightest bit of the other's inner shouting.

After being stunned for a while, she returned to the ward where Du Liqing was. Seeing her standing by herself in front of the window with the cold wind blowing on her pale face, she couldn't help but feel a bit of heartache. He took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

"Go back." This slight movement had interrupted Du Liqing's train of thoughts. Noticing that the other party had turned to look over, Lu Juyan subconsciously opened his mouth to make a suggestion.

Lu Juyan didn't want to see Du Liqing being bullied in the hospital, so returning home was the best form of protection for her.

The thoughts in his mind had been transferred to the white pill before Lu Juyan came back, so Du had once again begun to become chaotic. When she saw Lu Juyan's worried expression, she pursed her lips and slowly spoke, "Mm."

After bringing him downstairs, Lu Juyan opened the car door to let him sit in the front passenger seat. Only after seeing that he had fastened his seat belt did he return to the main driver's seat and drive away.

On the way to the car, Dudian didn't say a word. He looked like he was preoccupied with something. He looked out of the window and pursed his lips. The oppressive feeling made her feel uncomfortable all over.

Lu Juyan noticed a shop selling beer not too far away. He glanced at Du Liqing and stopped by the roadside in front of him without saying anything. He said indifferently, "Wait for me."

After saying that, he opened the car door, got out, and walked towards the store. He took a few bottles of beer from the fridge, gave the boss the money, put them in a bag and carried them back to the car.

"Why are you buying these?" Du Liqing looked at the item in Lu Juyan's hand and grew suspicious, feeling that it was quite strange.

"This is something that can make you feel relaxed." Lu Juyan sat in the car, fastened his seatbelt, and looked at the beer. He raised his hand to pinch Dean's cheek and slowly told him the purpose of buying those things.

Lu Juyan's fingertip lightly touched Du Liqing's cheek, causing her to unconsciously become slightly red and hot. Ye Zichen turned his head away and ignored him, and gazed at the scenery outside the window as his thoughts once again sunk into oblivion.

When the two of them returned home, Lu Juyan stopped downstairs and had his men alight first. Du Liqing obediently walked down and saw him looking for an empty parking space, waiting for him at the side.

A strange feeling surged up in Du Liqing's heart. She didn't know why she felt so uncomfortable when she was with Lu Juyan, but it made her feel like she wanted to run away, but there was no way she could.

"Let's go." Lu Juyan parked the car and walked to the front of Du Liqing, looking at him in a daze. Ye Zichen raised his hand to pinch her cheek, then pulled her arm back into the room with a smile.

Du Ruqing, who had been brought home, came back to her senses. She sat on the sofa and watched as Lu Juyan put the beer down. She found a bottle opener and was about to open the bottle cap.

This made Du Ruqing feel strange. She couldn't help but remind him, "It's not appropriate for a man and a woman to drink together, is it?"

"I've already kissed him, what is there to be afraid of?" Lu Juyan opened a bottle of beer and placed it on the table in front of Du Liqing. When he saw her embarrassed expression, he curled his lips into a smile and couldn't help but tease her.

The derogatory look made Du Liqing feel annoyed. He pouted his lips, picked up a bottle of wine from the table and gulped it down. The spicy taste in her mouth made her feel uncomfortable, but she continued to stubbornly swallow it down. She was unwilling to admit defeat, so she absolutely couldn't be looked down upon by others.

"Hey, don't drink so much!" Lu Juyan had just opened the cap of another bottle of wine when he saw Du Liqing pouring wine. He was startled and put down the bottle in his hand. He walked forward and wanted to stop her from drinking.

He hadn't thought that Du Liqing would still subconsciously dodge left and right, treating the wine like ordinary water. This made Lu Juyan feel somewhat helpless.

After everyone finished drinking the wine, they put down the empty bottle in their hands. As they looked at the scenery in front of them, they felt a bit hazy. Her cheeks were suffused with a pink blush, and her consciousness wasn't clear. The strength in her body seemed to have been pulled away by someone as she leaned against the sofa behind her.

"Is one bottle drunk?" Lu Juyan had never thought that her alcohol tolerance would be so low as he watched Du Liqing's actions. He helplessly placed the empty cup on the table to prevent her stepping on it to prevent an accident from occurring.
