Xiao Qian was still holding her breath, but upon hearing him, she couldn’t help but giggle.

“Show me how formidable you can be then,” she challenged.

Yu Minglang, annoyed and embarrassed by her laughter, grabbed her shoulders and forced her to look at him.

“Chen Xiaomei, you’ve really angered me, for punishment, you will cook for me today,” he declared.

His idea of being formidable was just this childish threat? How “terrifying”!

“Why should I? It’s not my fault that you get angry over trivial matters, I should be the one punishing you.”

“Is it me being too sensitive? What did I do wrong just by sincerely making a phone call for him? Zheng Xu is the one being ridiculous, it’s not my fault,” he reasoned.

“Zheng Xu is calm in such situations. If it were me and someone dragged me half a world away to save their face, only to have them roll up on me, I’d just drive off.”

Xiao Qian feel bad now. Zheng Xu is here because of her, and Ming Lang’s attacks are hurting Xu.

“Let him try it then, I could easily take down an entire truck of his guys,” he boasted.

“…Aren’t you blowing your own trumpet a bit too much? No one man can prevail against the multitude; how are you supposed to beat up all those people alone?” As Xiao Qian pondered, she exposed his scratched neck, “Lie down and let me take a look.”

Instead, he grabbed her hand, and they stared at each other for several seconds before she broke into laughter.

Again, her laughter embarrassed and annoyed him. Yu Minglang pointed at her, “You ungrateful girl, come here!”

“I refuse to.” Xiao Qian leaned against the window and hummed a tunc. “Do you realize how weary I am? It’s like I owe you from a past life, I can barely hold on anymore

The song hadn’t been released at that time, so Xiao Qian was singing it years ahead of its popularity. The melody seemed to charm Yu Minglang.

“Go, find the first aid kit and let me take care of your neck. You’re such a ninny! How could you just stand there and let them scratch you like that? We don’t even know how clean her nails were…”

“It’s fine, just lick it for me.” Boy, what a picture! Imagination truly knows no limits.

Xiao Qian flicked his forehead, “Cut the nonsense, go and get it!”

The wound is minor, which Yu Minglang would typically ignore, but he does not want to miss the rare opportunity to enjoy her company. So he obediently retrieved the first aid kit, letting her take care of his wound.

“Your skin is a bit dry.”

Her soft little hands felt incredible on his skin. Yu Minglang squinted his eyes in delight, reminding Xiao Qian of the satisfied expression Husky has when people pet his neck. However, she held her tongue, knowing he would get embarrassed and angry.

“I haven’t been drinking much water recently.” He was a grown man and didn’t care much about skincare—as long as he was clean, he never put anything on his face.

“You can’t neglect self-care like this. You’ll age fast if you do. When I was in basic training, the instructor told us—never mind, I won’t talk about him,” she suddenly changed her mind.

Xiao Qian felt that mentioning the instructor while they’re together would kill the mood.

“What did he say?” Yu Minglang sat up straight.

“He said that women are made up of water so don’t need to drink any.”

“Fine, I’ll have him roll in the mud all day tomorrow because as he claims, men are made of mud,” Yu Minglang retorted ominously.

“Is he with you?”

Xiao Qian looked at him, her heart fluttered. He was not with her, but he was always watching over her.

Since he was already doing this for her, she also had to step up. She needed to have a serious talk with Yu Minglang about Zheng Xu. But this time it would be a genuine conversation, not just a means to tease him..
