"How is it? Does your face hurt?"
After the two had hugged for a long time, Xia Han remembered something and looked up at Lu Haoran's handsome face. It was indeed a little red, and she felt a pang of concern.
She reached out her slender, delicate hand and gently caressed it.
Lu Haoran was quite pleased with Xia Han's concerned gaze. He lowered his head and brought the side of his face that had been slapped forward. "If you can give me a kiss, I won't hurt anymore."
It was truly Lu Haoran; he became mischievous again within seconds. Xia Han was both exasperated and amused. In the end, she tiptoed and gently kissed him.
"Wow~" At the doorway of the room, Lan Qianqian covered her mouth and cheered.
Startled, Xia Han immediately turned her head. Upon seeing who it was, her face turned crimson, followed by a roar, "Lan Qianqian, do you want to die!"
"Hmm?"
Sensing a cold gaze from her right, Xia Han shrank her neck shamelessly.
"What are you afraid of? I'm still here." After saying that, he puffed out his chest to face his brother, but immediately deflated. Gods, why was Mo so scary? He didn't even give him any face.
"Heh heh, Hanhan, let's not bother with them."
Xia Han glanced at Lu Haoran sideways with a smile. He was still cowardly with his brothers, but she couldn't afford to offend President Xuan, couldn't she deal with his woman? Thinking of this, a sly smile spread across Xia Han's face.
"I say, Lan Qianqian, since when did you learn this trick? It seems you've practiced a lot. You can tease people now without blushing or panting. I still need to learn from you~"
As expected, after this remark, Lan Qianqian's face also turned red, her neck disappearing. However, she still held her head high and retorted, though everyone could tell her spirit was severely lacking, "Well, I haven't shamelessly kissed someone on my own accord like you, and in the corridor, no less."
Xuan Mohan felt a little uneasy. Qianqian had never initiated a kiss with him.
Compared to Xuan Mohan's slightly somber mood, Lu Haoran was much happier. He leaned close to Xia Han's ear and whispered, "Let's practice well in the future. We can lose anything, but not this."
Why wasn't this person helping her, and saying something like that…
"Ahem, we'll see how you perform," she replied, blushing, and then quickly ran downstairs.
What did it mean to perform well? For a happy life, Lu Haoran decided to find someone for advice later, preferably someone at the level of a love master.
Downstairs, Mu Jingxuan and Qi Jiayou, two handsome men, were seated.
"When are you leaving?"
Qi Jiayou hadn't intended to come, but he heard that Xuan's master had returned and asked him to go over. It was said they were going to cultivate a new medicine.
That person's medical skills were quite unfathomable…
"Tomorrow." Mu Jingxuan smiled gently. He hadn't expected his elusive master to return so suddenly.
"Leaving so early?" Xuan Mohan, who had just come downstairs, asked with a frown. Wasn't it a bit too hasty?
"You know my master's eccentric nature."
Xuan Mohan raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure Qianqian is alright?"
Without Xuan, he was truly uneasy.
When had Mo ever doubted his medical skills? It must have taken a lot of concern for him to be like this.
"She's completely recovered. Just be careful not to suffer any more major impacts." After all, she had just recovered, and her bodily functions still needed to recuperate.
Hearing Dr. Mu's affirmative words, Lan Qianqian was also very happy. She hadn't hugged her children for a long time, nor her mother. But why couldn't her mother's phone be reached?
She would go check on her later; she wouldn't feel at ease if she didn't.
The meal today was exceptionally sumptuous, specially prepared by Mu Jingxuan calling back the housekeeper.
The four men drank and chatted. Occasionally, Xuan Mohan and Lu Haoran would attend to the women.
Qi Jiayou watched with a sigh. When it was just them, the atmosphere had been so harmonious. Now, they were all attentive like devoted wives.
"This is your favorite."
"This dish tastes pretty good. Hanhan, try some."
Seeing this, and simply unable to bear it any longer, Qi Jiayou left after dinner.
"Hmph, if you can't stand it, find someone yourself. A single dog like him wouldn't understand the sanctity of love."
Hao's words were truly infuriating. If You were here, he wouldn't be able to leave. But… who was it that used to say women were just for casual fun?
Was love beautiful? It must be, otherwise, the two brothers wouldn't have fallen so hard.
Thinking of this, he recalled the time Lan Qianqian fell, and he carried her into the bathroom. Her body was indeed soft, with a faint fragrance…
Shaking his head, Mu Jingxuan dismissed his thoughts and got up to get something from the laboratory.
He pressed on a spot on the wall, and a hidden compartment instantly appeared, revealing a plain-looking medicine bottle.
He didn't know what his master wanted this medicine for. This medicine was extremely precious, but he rarely used it. More importantly, it was difficult to compound new medicines with it, as something always seemed to be missing, and it couldn't be integrated. It was complex in itself and a bit overbearing.
Could this have a new use? Mu Jingxuan reached out his fair, slender hand to retrieve the bottle.
As his hand touched the medicine bottle, "Ah!"
In just a second, Mu Jingxuan identified it as Lan Qianqian's voice and immediately turned and rushed to the next room. "Wh… "
He pushed open the door, about to ask what was wrong, when a soft, delicate body pressed against him.
Mu Jingxuan had always been a man of integrity and had never had a woman by his side. It wasn't that no one liked him, but rather that he had no time, and his environment rarely had women. This led to his perpetual single status.
Suddenly being hugged by a person of the opposite sex, Mu Jingxuan, apart from being a little unaccustomed, also felt a strange sensation. The last time was because he was worried about her condition…
"Let go first, what happened?" He pursed his lips, still extending his hand to push her away, but she was holding on very tightly, making it difficult to separate for a moment.
"Qianqian!" Xuan Mohan ran up in one breath. Before he could catch his breath, he violently pushed the door open and saw the scene before him.
His heart suddenly suffocated. It was concern that took the lead. He stepped forward and roughly pulled Lan Qianqian away, but what he didn't expect was…
Gently lifting her tear-streaked face, his fingertips softly wiped away the tears. His voice was incredibly gentle, "What's wrong, hmm? I'm here, don't be afraid."
Perhaps the familiar scent entering his nostrils brought Lan Qianqian back to her senses. She raised her head and saw everyone looking at her with worried expressions…
The fear in her heart gradually dissipated. As her mind relaxed, Lan Qianqian's legs went weak, and she fainted.
"Qianqian!" Xuan Mohan caught Lan Qianqian's soft body and immediately laid her on the bed nearby.
"Xuan, hurry and come take a look." Xuan Mohan had no other thoughts in his mind, his heart filled with anxiety.
Mu Jingxuan did not dare to delay. After examining her, he breathed a sigh of relief. "It's nothing, just excessive mental tension. She'll wake up soon."
As for why she suddenly became mentally tense, they could only wait for Lan Qianqian to wake up and explain herself.
