‘”Actually, it’s—?’ Cui Jiangjing stared at her nervously, waiting for her to continue.”

Did he really fall for that? Rong Yan began to doubt his intelligence and said while touching her forehead, ‘Actually, my real identity is a female superhero who wears her underwear on the outside. Happy now?”‘

A female superhero who wears her underwear on the outside…

Cui Jiangjing, with a face that said he’d been played, was just about to keep pestering Rong Yan about why her wound healed so rapidly when Li Shengxiao ruthlessly kicked him out.

“Alright, you can leave now.”

As he was pushed out to the doorway, still not giving up, he hooked his fingers around the door, “Shengxiao, I really think Little Yan Rong’s recovery was too fast. Shouldn’t you take her for a more thorough check-up? What if there’s something else wrong with her body?”

“Ring Island,” the dashing man replied with his tall and straight figure, enunciating the two words.

Yet he was still not giving up, struggling desperately, “I’m telling you the truth!”

His fingers, clinging onto the door, were pried off one by one without mercy. Li Shengxiao’s ink-dark eyes swept over him, his lips barely parting, “I’m telling you the truth as well.”

Cui Jiangjing,

Was he serious about dumping him on Ring Island, that godforsaken place?

The wise adapt in good time! His hand snapped back immediately, reverting to his usual devil-may-care demeanor as the son of nobility. With a cheeky grin, he peeked through the door gap to say farewell to Rong Yan, “Miss Rong, I’ll leave you two be. Get some rest, it’s good for your wound. Bye-bye-

The reply came as the sound of the door slamming shut, so sudden it nearly caught his nose.

“Damn it! Such a fair-weather friend!”

Cui Jiangjing complained while rubbing his nose and walked away.

In the sickroom.

Li Shengxiao closed the door, walked into the room, and directly scooped up the little woman who was still wandering about.”

‘Li Shengxiao?’ Rong Yan was startled by the sudden lift, but seeing it was him, she wasn’t scared anymore.”

The proud and domineering man placed her on the bed and then stood at the bedside, his figure straight as he said, “Now we can talk about personal safety.”

Personal safety? She felt pretty safe, aside from that one time she was set up, she couldn’t recall encountering any real danger.

“I’m planning to arrange a bodyguard for you,” Li Shengxiao got straight to the point.

“A bodyguard?” Rong Yan’s first reaction was to refuse, “I don’t need a bodyguard, that was just an accident.”

Li Shengxiao, without any hesitation, stuffed his hands into his coat pockets and said, “I don’t think accidents happen just once. Since they can happen, it’s better to nip them in the bud!”

“Can you guarantee that no accidents will happen in the future?”

‘ Rong Yan’s throat went dry at the question. How could she guarantee such a thing? Aside from God, who could assure a future with no unexpected events?

Li Shengxiao, as if guessing her thoughts, stated powerfully and confidently, “Under my protection, I can guarantee you won’t encounter the same thing again!”

“Danger, betrayal… none of it! You just need to hide behind me!”

Rong Yan shivered, then shrugged her shoulders and looked up straight into his eyes, “What’s the difference between me and a domestic kitten then?” Li Shengxiao’s deep eyes grew darker.

Rong Yan sat up with her legs crossed, a relaxed smile on her face as she said, “Cheetahs are cheetahs because they hunt for food, only cats need to be fed by someone. Sorry, I can’t be a cat.”

She was born a cheetah, and even if she was still just a cub compared to his mighty lion, in his eyes perhaps as helpless as a cat.

But a cheetah is a cheetah, it can never learn to be a cat!

If she could grovel and beg, she would have done so with the Rong family long ago, and wouldn’t be in such a miserable state..
