And the more you rely on it, maybe it will slowly become a habit...

He leaned down and kissed her cheek that was still red and swollen. The kiss was so gentle, like the gentle caress of feathers, "Then just rely on me. Your reliance is what I want."

matter."

He wants her to rely on him so much. It would be best if she relies on him to the point where she can't leave...

About half an hour later, the family doctor came to Yi Zhai, looked at the bruise on Ling Yiran's cheek, and prescribed some medicine to reduce the swelling.

After the doctor left, Ling Yiran was about to apply the medicine, but Yi Jinli took the medicine first and said, "Let me apply it for you."

"Oh." She responded.

His slender fingers were dipped in ointment, and he spread it gently on her cheek. His movements were very gentle, and along with the cool feeling of the ointment, the faint burning feeling on her face faded a lot.

"You're really not reassuring, you're always hurt." He whispered while gently wiping her face with his fingers.

Ling Yiran found that she couldn't seem to refute his words. It seemed...ever since she met him, she had always had various minor injuries.

"It would be nice if I could hide you at home like this, so that no one can hurt you, so that you won't always see injuries on your body." He said, every time he saw the injuries on her body, he would

It made him feel as if his heart was being stabbed.

"How could he hide it at home?" She muttered, thinking he was joking.

He retracted his finger, took out a tissue and wiped the remaining ointment on his finger, then leaned down, looking almost at her level and said, "If you keep getting hurt, I will really hide you at home.

, even if you are willing to get hurt yourself, I can’t bear to see you get hurt all the time."

The dark and deep eyes were full of seriousness.

Ling still looked at the person in front of him blankly, he...is he serious? He's not kidding!

"Okay, let's go back to the room first. If you're tired, take a rest first." Yi Jinli said as he hugged Ling Yiran.

She let out a low cry, hugged his neck almost subconsciously, and couldn't help but said, "I can walk by myself." She was only hit on the face, but no other parts were injured.

"I'll be more relaxed as I carry you, lest you accidentally fall down again," he said.

Her face couldn't help but blush. Did he think she was a child?

He carried her back to the room and carefully placed her on the bed, "You are also tired today, so take a rest first."

Ling Yiran nodded. In fact, she was really a little tired at this moment.

After a while, she fell asleep. Yi Jinli looked at Ling's still sleeping face. In addition to the gentle distress, there was also a deep anger in her eyes.

The Hao family... It seems that he has kept the Hao family stable for too long, so stable that they have forgotten certain things...

Ling Yiran woke up and found that it was already dark.

"Ah!" She suddenly exclaimed and sat up from the bed suddenly. God, she wanted to go see her grandma's things, but she forgot to buy them.

"What's wrong? Shouting so loudly?" A voice sounded, accompanied by rapid footsteps.

Ling Yiran followed the sound and realized that the door connecting her and Yi Jinli's bedroom was not closed. At this moment, Yi Jinli was walking quickly from the other bedroom.
