Although it was the middle of the day, the sky outside the window was gloomy and gloomy, and little snowflakes were gradually drifting about. Even the sky was sad, as if grieving for their mutual torture.
Ling Chen held her like this, warming her up.
Gradually, Jian Fan's breathing calmed down, and the trembling of his body gradually subsided. Ling Chen had not been able to rest well last night, and now that he had gone through so much, he began to feel tired.
When he woke up again, it was already four in the afternoon. He hadn't eaten all day, so he was woken up by his hunger.
He reached out to touch her forehead. Just as he moved, he discovered that her body was covered in sticky sweat. Even his own was completely drenched.
Ling Chen let out a sigh of relief, revealing a smile that he did not even notice. It was good that he was sweating, but his body wasn't that hot anymore.
Ling Chen gently pushed away her hand that had loosened up a lot. Right now, she was sleeping soundly, so she didn't notice when he pulled away.
Ling Chen quickly took a hot shower, put on his pajamas and went downstairs.
Lian Xi and Lian Bi sat in the dining room and waited. They were waiting for orders at any time.
"Ah Bian, let me boil some plain white porridge. Lian Lian Xi, heat up the lunch for me." Ling Chen stood at the foot of the stairs, gave an order, then went back upstairs.
Jian Fan was still sleeping with his eyebrows slightly knitted together, as if he had had a bad dream. The flush faded, and now her little face was pale, as transparent as a sheet of paper. A few wisps of sweaty hair stuck to her face, like a tattered rag doll, adding to her frailty.
Ling Chen's heart was sore, and he could not tell what it was like. He had never treated a woman like this before. He treated her as fiercely as when he first met her, and he treated her as painfully as he felt now. He had never felt so inexplicably for her, never felt so for her.
He affectionately leaned over her ear and whispered, "Baby, get up and take a bath. If you fall asleep like this, you'll catch a cold again."
Jian Fan's ears twitched as he slowly opened his eyes. Her eyeballs were sore, so she rubbed her sleepy eyes.
"Chen?"
"Get up, take a shower and eat, then sleep again." He gently lifted the blanket and picked her up.
Jian Fan subconsciously wrapped his arms around his neck without any objections.
The hot water in the bathtub had been prepared earlier, and the temperature was just right.
He let her in, and the transparent water did not cover her ample figure.
While Ling Chen was washing her, he gradually changed from taking a bath to stroking her. In the end, what tormented him was his own desire, which he had harbored for a whole week.
He held his breath, gritted his teeth, and forced the heat from his lower abdomen back.
Jian Fan was tickled by his hand as he involuntarily moaned. He did not know that the moaning he was enjoying was the fuel for the flames, and it made Ling Chen wish that he could immediately take care of her on the spot.
"What's the matter with you?" Jian Fan turned his face to the side and opened his eyes slightly. He looked at Jian Chen's coarse breathing and flushed cheeks. How could he be shy when he bathed her?
"It's fine, the heat in the bathroom is too strong. It's a little stuffy." Afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on any longer, Ling Chen quickly wrapped her in a towel and left the bathroom, returning to his bed.
The air outside was much smoother, giving him a little breathing room.
There was a knock on the door. It was Lian Xi and Lian Bi who brought up the prepared dinner.
"Young Master?"
"Leave it here. I'll collect it when I get in later."
Silence returned to the room. Jane lay motionless in his arms, so quiet that he could hear his heart beating faster and faster.
"Eating something will help you get better faster. You can only eat light white porridge when you're sick." Ling Chen sat her down in the crook of his lap, resting her head on his shoulder, and then picked up the porridge, stirring and blowing on it.
Jane Fan raised her long eyelashes and looked at him. He looked extremely gentle at the moment. When he wasn't angry, he was more like a handsome scholar, full of the air of a gentleman.
Wasn't he angry? After he had taken her upstairs, she had become delirious from lack of breath and lack of oxygen. She could not remember anything.
Why was he so good to her? Was it the calm before the storm?
"What are you looking at? "Little fool." He lightly tapped the tip of her nose. His eyes were filled with a bright smile, like the stars on a summer night. It was so bright.
If he was a good person, and if he truly loved and doted on her so much, she would definitely fall in love with him and give up everything for him. But this can only be if...
"I'm watching …" The pores on both sides of your nose are so big. "
The bowl in Ling Chen's hand swayed, and he almost failed to hold onto it.
Forget it, to be able to mock him means that there is nothing wrong with it. I will not quarrel with her over this.
Ling Chen fed her mouthful by mouthful, and she drank from his hand.
The temperature outside the window had already reached below zero, but the temperature within the room was constantly rising.
"I feel like... When you're not angry, you're really handsome! " As soon as she finished speaking, she blushed and buried her face in his arms.
Ling Chen laughed and was in a good mood. This was the first time she praised him so highly, and this was the first time she used such an expression of infatuation.
After feeding Jane Fan, he helped her to sleep. Ling Chen then took two quick bites, and after Lian Xi had finished packing up, he took off his clothes and went back into the blanket.
Naturally, he pulled her into his arms and rubbed his chin on the top of her head.
"Darling, I won't throw a tantrum at you anymore."
His voice was too soft, and it lingered in her heart.
"What you said, you're not allowed to go back on your words." Let me have a dream, she thought, a dream she had been having since childhood.
"Well, I promise. "But you also have to make sure that there are no other men in your eyes, and no other men can look at you either. You can only be mine." He was like a little boy who had just started out in love, full of jealousy.
Jane Fan chuckled. She wasn't blind, so how could she not see a man? She wasn't invisible either. She could become the center of attention wherever she went, and this point couldn't be changed.
But men always liked to demand so much from women. To what extent did they do it themselves?
"You …" Where did he go? Where have you been staying these past few days? " Thinking back to the phone call last night, she felt uncomfortable all over.
"I slept in the company lounge. I've been there for the past few days. Recently, there has been a new shopping mall opening every day, with new buildings laying the foundation. I have been busy every day until very late, so I decided to rest there. " His tone was very natural without the slightest pause.
"Really?" Jian Fan's heart swelled, but it was hard to tell what that feeling was.
"Of course it's true. When I came back from the Phantom Shadow last night, I saw that the lights in my house were dark, so I didn't disturb your rest and went to the company. "You sure are cruel. I haven't come back in so many days, and you didn't even call me." Ling Chen grumbled as he became more and more integrated into his character. He was like a hot-blooded youth in love.
She had obviously called him last night, and it was a woman who had picked up. How could he not know?
But there was no need to pursue the matter. Since she dared to say that she was his fiancée, the two of them must have a close relationship. Regardless of whether that woman was intentionally provoking him or if he was lying, since he was willing to use all of his effort to coax her, this showed that he still cared about this gamble. She didn't have the energy to get to the bottom of this, nor did she have the heart to do so.
"Alright, I believe you. Next time, you can't run away from home when you get angry." She wrapped her arms around his waist and took the dream as a gift.
"I won't, baby."
"Yes," he answered, but his heart had already drifted away.
The next day, when Ling Chen and Jane Fan woke up from their sleep, it was already 8: 30 in the morning.
Ling Chen stretched out his hand to test her forehead. The temperature was normal, and her face had become much redder.
"Darling, get up. Today is the opening ceremony for the Ling Qi Corporation. There will be a press conference at 4 PM." Ling Chen sat up and stretched.
Only then did Jane Fan remember that today was an important day. It was the day when she would accompany him to the press conference and dinner as Ling Chen's fiancée.
Instantly, she regained her senses and was in high spirits.
"My dress hasn't arrived yet." She quickly got up, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and dressed.
"I'll get Marvin to bring it over." Because of Jian Fan's positive attitude, Ling Chen was actually quite excited.
After breakfast, Marvin brought the dress to the door of the villa.
Jian Fan went to the bedroom and changed into the low-necked cheongsam that he had worn before. There was a light red muslin covering the collar to the neck. The muslin covering the bottom of the dress extended all the way down to the knees.
The whole structure is novel and unique, even more so than naked visual stimulation. The perfect combination of fashion and retro was interpreted perfectly by her fair skin, beautiful face and perfect figure. It was mesmerizing to the point where one couldn't tear their eyes away from it.
Jian Fan pulled his hair back before tying it up at an angle. A few strands of black hair fell by his ear, making him look like someone who had walked out of a painting.
Ling Chen emotionally hugged her waist, and sighed: "Darling, you are so beautiful, I can't bear to let you go out and be seen by other men."
