Chapter 1387 - 1385: Why Is Your Face So Red
Yan Yan felt the Young Girl in his arms suddenly stiffen, and a few traces of amusement slipped into his eyes. He reached out to lift a strand of hair by her ear, playing with it idly.
He hadn’t eaten at all, the corners of his mouth always carrying a lazy curve, just watching her eat like that.
His other big hand wasn’t idle either, locking her firmly in his embrace, absolutely unwilling to let go, full of blatant possessiveness.
Jiang Lihua was worried about Yun Qiluo and hadn’t done any experiments all morning. She’d already come down to the living room several times without seeing her.
Now she came downstairs, heard they were in the dining room, and headed straight over.
And the moment she arrived, she saw Yan Yan holding Yun Qiluo on his lap, feeding her.
Like he was holding a porcelain doll, posture intimate, saturated with possessiveness.
He lounged lazily against the back of the chair, the corners of his lips hooked with a satisfied arc, as if he’d gotten some priceless treasure, his whole face radiating smug delight.
A sweet, cloying atmosphere circled the two of them, one that no outsider could intrude on.
Jiang Lihua’s gaze couldn’t help turning a bit odd; she wondered if, back when she was doing experiments, they’d already been getting along like this?
Just for a meal and he’s holding her this tight—she really hadn’t realized before that Yan Yan was this kind of person.
She gave him a brief nod in greeting, then sat down across from the two of them.
"Luo Luo."
Yun Qiluo’s eyes lit up when she saw her: "Hua Hua!"
She hadn’t seen Hua Hua in so long! Back when she was on set, she could still video call Yan Yan pretty often, but Jiang Lihua was usually buried in her experiments, and most of the time she didn’t even have her phone on her. So while Yun Qiluo was at the film set, she could barely get in touch with her.
"Hua Hua, what’ve you been busy with lately? I came back last night, did you know?"
"Mm, I know. I watched Mr. Yan carry you back," Jiang Lihua paused there for a moment, "and you only woke up just now?"
Yun Qiluo nodded: "Mm, I just woke up not long ago."
Jiang Lihua’s brows knit slightly: "That’s a bit too long of a sleep. Did you get hurt during the earthquake?"
She knew Yun Qiluo’s physical condition extremely well—strictly speaking, there wasn’t a doctor in the world who understood Yun Qiluo’s body better than she did.
For a Special Ability User, normally only when they’re injured do they need massive amounts of sleep and food to boost their recovery.
With Yun Qiluo having slept this long, her first reaction was that Yun Qiluo must have been hurt.
Wang Ma, standing nearby, also tensed up: "Miss, were you injured?"
Yun Qiluo instantly realized she’d slipped up, panic flaring in her heart, and her ears went red: "N-no, I wasn’t..."
"Maybe it’s just that I didn’t sleep at all the night of the earthquake, so I was catching up on sleep when I came back, and that’s why I slept so long."
As she spoke, she desperately looked over at Yan Yan, silently begging him to go along with her story.
But the man just leaned back in his chair, lazily staring at her, the corners of his lips faintly curved, looking every bit like a smug, infuriating bystander.
Luckily, Wang Ma and the others accepted this explanation.
They just said, "Young people sleeping more is good for their health," and didn’t think much more about it.
But Jiang Lihua, looking at her flushed face, still couldn’t relax: "Luo Luo, why did your face suddenly get so red? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
"No," Yun Qiluo shook her head immediately, "I feel great."
Jiang Lihua: "..."
She looked at Yun Qiluo, then at Yan Yan who was holding her, and kept feeling that something was off. Was Luo Luo hiding something from her?
