"I'm fine, you can go back." Jiang Yan didn't want to be too close to him. She had no future with Chu Yu, and even less with this man.
"You have a fever of 39 degrees. If it continues like this, you might become an idiot." Jin Lan handed her the fever-reducing medicine.
Jiang Yan took it and drank it, feeling a little helpless. She said, "I've taken the medicine, you can leave now."
"Oh, right, don't you want to see your new house? I can take you to see it." Jin Lan ignored her dismissal and started talking about the house.
"Really? I was worried the house wouldn't materialize! Can you take me to see it and complete the procedures?" Jiang Yan immediately perked up and stopped trying to rush him away.
"Sure, but only if you get better." Jin Lan handed her a large glass of water.
Jiang Yan immediately took the cup and gulped down the water. It trickled down her delicate chin and into her collar. Jin Lan felt a dryness in his throat, and he quickly averted his gaze, unable to look.
He felt that this woman was truly intoxicating; once he got involved with her, he would lose control.
"Can we go now?" Jiang Yan blinked her long eyelashes and asked.
"Sleep for a while. If you wake up and your fever is gone, I'll take you." Jin Lan pushed her back onto the bed and pulled the quilt over her.
Jiang Yan: "..."
She didn't really want to sleep, but she was truly feeling dizzy and groggy. She closed her eyes and fell asleep shortly after.
Jin Lan looked at her sleeping face, his lips unconsciously curling into a smile. This feeling of joy made him feel even more magical. It seemed that just looking at her made him happy.
Jiang Yan's phone vibrated. Jin Lan, afraid of disturbing her, picked it up to silence it. The screen lit up, and he saw the sender's message.
'Yan Yan, I'm sorry. I couldn't help but kiss you. I'll love you forever.'
Jin Lan's expression changed as he read the message. Was this from Chu Yu? He actually kissed her?
Jin Lan felt a tightness in his chest, his grip on the phone tightening. He threw the phone down and leaned in to kiss Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan felt like she was drowning, incredibly uncomfortable, desperately trying to save herself. When she finally managed to break free, she suddenly opened her eyes and met a pair of eyes filled with anger and tenderness. She couldn't understand the emotions conveyed by his gaze, which was so contradictory and conflicted.
She felt his intrusion and, wanting to push him away, found she had no strength. So, she stopped resisting, wrapped her arms around his neck, and enjoyed the kiss.
Jin Lan was stunned by her response. He froze, but Jiang Yan took the initiative.
After a period of entanglement, both of them were losing control.
...
Jiang Yan fell into a daze. Before she slept, she felt she must have gone crazy, doing this with him here, with her mother able to come in at any time.
Jin Lan felt a surge of happiness. This was considered her boudoir, and being intimate here made him feel thrilled.
He picked up the fallen quilt and covered her, letting her sleep. After tidying up, he sat by the bed, his eyes sparkling as he watched her.
As for Chu Yu, he needed to find a way to stop Chu Yu from bothering her.
The relationship between him and Jiang Yan, and how to face Chu Yu in the future, were all issues. But Jin Lan no longer wanted to hide it. He planned to bring Jiang Yan home and formally introduce her to his family.
His parents had died in an accident when he was a teenager. Now, his sister was his only family. Therefore, he wanted Jiang Yan to gain his sister's approval.
