After some thought, An Xiaoning said, “How about this? I’ll free up a room in the office and allow her to stay there instead. Since she’s your savior, we can’t ill-treat her. What do you think?”

“Do you not want her to stay here?”

“Of course, I hate the idea of her staying here. Apart from me, Qingyue, Yangyang, Auntie Chen, and the maids, no other girls like her or Bu Xianxian are welcome in this house. We must repay our grat.i.tude to your saviors, but there’s always another way to do it,” she said bluntly.

“You’re so petty.”

An Xiaoning said gleefully, “Yes, I may be petty, but I’m better than you. Someone over here is so much pettier than I am, how dare he have the cheek to criticize me?”

“Who… does… someone refer to? Me?” he asked, pointing at himself.

She remained silent while sitting on the couch.

“I’m asking you, were you referring to me?”

“Yes, I was. I was talking about you. You’re just asking the obvious.”

Noticing that she was about to grab the bottle of liquor, he s.n.a.t.c.hed it away and said, “Your wounds have yet to heal, why are you drinking?”

“Because I’m happy and I like it. Give it to me,” An Xiaoning said while extending her hand in a bid to grab it.

Henry ducked while An Xiaoning chased him. “I just want to have a few drinks, what’s wrong with that? Give it to me.”

“No, you can’t have any.”

An Xiaoning took chase and blocked him from running away. She reached behind his back to grab the bottle of liquor. However, she did not manage to do so and ended up pus.h.i.+ng him onto the bed.

He raised the bottle of liquor up high in his left hand while An Xiaoning fell onto his body. She instinctively moved away, for fear that he would fling her onto the wall again. At the same time, she also managed to s.n.a.t.c.h the bottle away.

Henry sat up and chided, “I told you your wounds have yet to heal. You’re so stubborn and defiant.”

“I told you to stay out of it. A little won’t hurt,” An Xiaoning said while pouring herself some liquor. She took a few enjoyable sips out of the gla.s.s.

“You’d better keep your promise and just drink a little bit.” He headed to the washroom and said, “I’ll take a shower.”

Instead of answering him, An Xiaoning sat on the bed and continued drinking her favorite liquor, Dreamyanghe, the unique liquor concocted by Jin Qingyan.

She fell in love with the liquor ever since the first time she tasted it. It was a special liquor that could not be bought elsewhere.

She subconsciously proceeded to have a few more gla.s.ses.

An Xiaoning finally put the gla.s.s down. I’ve grown so much with time but why is my liquor tolerance still so pathetic even after all these years?

Henry exited from the washroom to see that she was lying on the couch with her face flushed red, seemingly deep in thought as she kept her eyes fixed on the ceiling above.

He s.h.i.+fted his gaze onto the liquor bottle and remarked, “Who was the one who said that she’s only going to have a little bit? You’ve drunk so much.”

She stood up from the couch and said, “I accidentally… had a drop too much. I couldn’t help myself.”

Noticing that she was walking toward him on an unsteady gait, Henry said, “Lie down and get some rest, then.”

“Lie down to get some rest?” An Xiaoning clapped her hands and continued, “Alright, alright, my sentiments exactly.”

She then sat on his lap unrestrainedly.

A sullen expression formed on Henry’s face and he rebuked. “Do you want me to throw you against the wall again?”

An Xiaoning blinked and put on a look of misery. Staring at him pitifully and pointing at her head, she murmured, “It hurts, here…”

Henry squinted and stared at her while she murmured coquettishly. For some reason, he began to feel his throat getting dry and his heart racing rapidly. His hands had even placed themselves onto her waist.

Seconds later, he snapped out of his trance and pushed her away again gently, for fear that he would injure her.

However, An Xiaoning still fell onto the ground.

She winced in pain and rested her head against the bed. She groused, “You said before that you would get hard only for me…”

Henry’s face turned beet red, feeling shy like an innocent teenager. “Who said so?”

“You.” She wrapped her arms around his thigh and said, “Qingyan, I’m so tired.”

Henry picked her up in his arms and lowered her onto the bed.

An Xiaoning refused to let go and grabbed his s.h.i.+rt tightly. “Go to bed with me…”

He pushed her hand and said, “Go to sleep on your own.”

“Accompany me to sleep…”

She pulled Henry onto the bed forcefully. He stopped moving and thought to himself that he would get up again once she’s asleep.

However, she simply kept her eyes wide open without uttering a single word.

A long while later, she was still wide awake. He could not help but ask, “Didn’t you say that you were sleepy? Why aren’t you turning in yet?”

An Xiaoning turned to her side and placed one leg over his body. “Let’s chat before sleeping.”

“There’s nothing for us to chat about.”

“How could there be nothing…? Do you remember when we first got intimate with each other?”

“I’m not Jin Qingyan. Look closely, I’m Henry.”

“Don’t bring that up. I just… got intimate with this body,” she said, poking his chest with her index finger.

“I don’t recall that happening before.”

“You’re not possessed by another spirit. You’re Qingyan and Qingyan is you. You two are the same person to begin with. You’re the same…” she said, pressing her face against his body while closing her eyes.

Henry remained silent, and she soon dozed off. Noticing that she had already fallen asleep, he got up slowly and pulled the blanket over her body.

“Sis, we’re here to visit you,” said Fang Yunxi, who entered together with Mr. and Mrs. Fang. All three of them had turned up empty-handed.

Mrs. Fang hurriedly said, “We read about your hospitalization from the news so we called you, and Chenyang told us not to visit you yet.”

“Chenyang?” Fang Erlan immediately looked at Xiao Chenyang. I’ve never addressed him that way before, how could Mother blurt that out so smoothly?

“Yeah. Just hurry and break up with that Yan Ge. What’s wrong with his mother? She spouted so much nonsense about you online. Chenyang is a great man,” said a disgruntled Mrs. Fang.

“We’ve already broken up a few days ago.”

Mrs. Fang nodded profusely and gave her approval, “Good that you did.”

Fang Erlan answered, “We’re not planning to announce it just yet. We’ll only do so after the television series finishes airing. So, all of you are to keep mum whenever others ask about it.”

“Yes, yes. It’s your brother’s birthday today,” said Mrs. Fang.

“You guys go get him a cake and we’ll have a meal together to celebrate his birthday,” Fang Erlan suggested.

“We thought so too. What do you say we bring some food back and eat here together?”

Seeing how excited she was, Fang Erlan agreed with a nod, “Sure.”

Mrs. Fang quickly urged her husband and son to go buy some food and a cake while she moved a chair over to take a seat. She asked straightforwardly, “Chenyang, are you dating Erlan now?”
