Similarily overwhelmed by the young man's display of sincerity was Li Chen.
His eyes redden with tears as he emotionally laughed out loud.
"Haha! Tian Tian, Uncle Li wasn't wrong in choosing you for Yue'er. I can now rest assured knowing she's in your capable hands." He clapped the man's shoulder twice and turned his head around to blink his tears away.
How embarrassing would it be if he cried before his son-in-law?
Even the thought alone mortified Li Chen. Quickly, composing his expression, he turned back to face Long Tian with a satisfied smile.
For his daughter to get a husband that gave her such importance even with her hopeless condition, what more could he ask for?
"Tian Tian, you don't need to worry about me. As her Dad, I'd support Yue'er no matter what she did. In fact, before you came to find me, I was just wondering how to bring up to you about Yue'er's further education as well. It's good now. With you to protect her, I won't hav
Aunt Li...Aunt Li had a hand in her mother's death?As if smashed with a giant hammer, Qing Yue's vision went dark and her head pounded violently. She placed a hand on her chest, her breath coming out in shallow gasps as she tried to alleviate the constricting tightness."Mom...mom..." This word was the deepest thorn in her heart. 8 years of guilt and self-blame were associated with it. The pain and loneliness of her father only enhanced the self loath and self-deprecation.However, now she learned that she was never the one responsible for her mother's death...For Qing Yue, this wasn't just a blow to the head. It was a smash to her sanity and everything she'd ever believed."Mom, you had a hand in Li Qing Yue's mother's death?""She had to die. It was the only way my path to becoming Madam Li would have cleared.""But...if Uncle Li finds out...""Don't worry. That won't happen. I made sure to destroy all evidence. Even if Yan
Li Chen frowned upon hearing his daughter's words. However, his expression relaxed in the next second.If his daughter wanted to kick out the mother-daughter pair, he had no objections. After the show Yei Yi put on in the hospital, Li Chen already felt a desire to kick them out. But when he recalled how close Qing Yue was to them, he decided to wait for an opportune moment to bring up the matter to his daughter.But now, before he even took action, Qing Yue herself was kicking them out. He was pleased with this development but also felt confused.Yue'er was so close to the two. What happened to make her take such a decision?"L...leave? Qing Qing, you...stop joking around." Aunt Li had an ugly expression on her face.She couldn't believe her ears. Did Li Qing Yue, the foolish girl that followed behind her 24/7 since young, just tell them to leave?That wasn't possible! She was definitely hearing things."Aunt Li, I'm serious. I want y
Thinking of the cramped, low ceiling mansions her friends lived in, Yei Yi was appalled.Not even in her greatest nightmares could she live in such a place.'I...I'll plead Li Qing Yue this time. If she agrees to let me stay, then Uncle Li won't say a word. I'll plea with her for now. It's the only way for me to stay. But after mother succeeds...'Thinking of her mother's plan, a vicious gleam flashed through her eyes.Yei Yi clenched her fists and vowed to make Li Qing Yue lick her toes after she became the Young Mistress of Li Industries.With a pitiful expression, she walked around her mother towards Qing Yue. But before she could draw any closer, Long Tian raised his head and glared.The piercingly cold glare froze her in her tracks. It was a warning. Long Tian was actually warning her not to approach any closer! Yei Yi's heart hammered in her chest as trepidation of the man and desire for him warred together.She wanted him. Such
Li Chen didn't ask his daughter why she suddenly wanted to oust the two people she was close to. He only nodded his head, set down his teacup, and sent a CellText to his Personal Assistant Yan.The moment he decided to mend the relationship between him and his daughter, Li Chen made up his mind to fulfill every single one of her wishes without question.Now that he was presented with such a great opportunity to not only rid himself of an eyesore but also win his daughter's favor, why would he hesitate?By the time Aunt Li calmed down Yei Yi, Personal Assistant Yan had already found a place for them to settle."I don't want to! Mom, I don't want to leave Li Mansion! You talk to Li Qing Yue! She always listens to you!" Yei Yi's shrieks resounded in the entire glass mansion as she desperately clung to the handles of the spiral stairs and cried."Sigh. Miss Yei Yi, please don't make things difficult for us. Master Li entrusted us to see you out." The g
Qing Yue and Long Tian descended on the private open-air parking of Long Amusement Park.Long Tian pushed his wife's wheelchair as they walked through the bustling crowd."Yue'er, it's a little crowded here. Will you be okay?" Because of the congested traffic, the air was a little stuffy and warm.Long Tian was afraid his wife would be uncomfortable in such a crowded place.But QIng Yue only waved her hand and pushed him towards the counter."Brother Tian, I'll be fine. Hurry and get the tickets!" It would be a joke if the tickets ran out after coming so far.Long Tian gave his wife another concerned glance before he sighed and moved towards the counter.In front of the park entrance was a small black electric robot. People scanned their digital cards or inserted cash into its chest.As one of the many advances, tickets to the park popped out from the SellRobo's belly in the form of a black chip. Long Tian pressed his black sleeve butt
The rollercoaster raised into the sky, blowing strong gusts of wind in Qing Yue's face. Her eyes teared, but the excitement of the ride overrode her discomfort."Ahhh!"Shrieks of thrill and exhilaration resounded in the air as Qing Yue screamed at the top of her lungs.Long Tian moved closer to his wife and shielded the blasting wind from her face with his body. She was still recovering and he didn't want her condition to aggravate under the onslaught of the fierce winds.But with the seat restraints, he could only block one side of her body.Long Tian unbuttoned his suit coat and cautiously took it off. Then he leaned forward and covered his wife's head. Although the coat wasn't able to block most of the wind as it violently flapped around, it was still something.Qing Yue felt touched by her husband's thoughtfulness.The thrill of going on a rollercoaster was already exhilarating. With her husband taking such good care of her, Qing
"What are you doing here?" Lu Jin's eyes glowed with radiant light as she lovingly looked at the handsome man. Her voice was soft and gentle seemingly appearing as if she was talking to her lover.However, Long Tian's expression was cold and his voice was even colder. "I'm here with my wife. Is that a problem?"Since the day he discovered her treachery, Long Tian had thrown the woman out of his life. Now that he was a married man, he didn't want anything to do with her, lest his wife misunderstood him.As this thought passed through his mind, he moved forward and knelt before Qing Yue.Lu Jin's eyes followed his figure. When she saw him kneel before the ugly cripple, her heart twisted in hatred, regret, and disgust.Once, this man had been hers.But because of her careless mistake, she had lost him to such an ugly goblin.These days, Lu Jin's financial situation wasn't good. Her modeling career met a setback since her breakup with Lon
Couldn't he see the woman was still pinning for him? But as if blind to the affection of the other, Long Tian stretched out his hand and tenderly wiped his wife's lips. The action stunned both Lu Jin and Qing Yue. Even when they were together and the man spoiled her, Lu Jin had never seen such a tender look on his face. What's more, he even touched the ugly cripple's lips! Lu Jin felt suffocated. Her heart burned with the flames of jealousy and hatred as she resentfully glared at Qing Yue like she wanted to drink the other's blood and gnaw on her flesh. On the other hand, Qing Yue fiercely trembled when she sensed the other's vicious glare. Da** it! Why are you glaring at me!? If you have something to say, say it to the man you're chasing! Her husband's action surprised her as well. Right before his ex, he touched her lips. If Qing Yue didn't know him better, she would've really thought he did it to make his ex-girlfriend jealo
Early the next morning, Qing Yue stood before the bathroom mirror with a shocked expression on her face. "Li Feng, am I dreaming? How is this possible?" Aside from the first day, she hadn't looked at herself in the mirror after her accident. But this was beyond astonishing, alright? It hasn't even been a full month before her discharge! "Congratulations, Saintess. You've recovered your original appearance." Li Feng's voice was filled with amusement which caused Qing Yue to return to her senses. "Haha! A week! It only took me a week to recover my original appearance!" The entire situation felt surreal to her. Even after scanning her face and the scarred part of her body in the mirror for two whole hours, Qing Yue was not able to believe her eyes. "Li Feng, how is this possible? My body was burned and wrinkled, my face horrendous! So hideous that even ten plastic surgeries wouldn't have helped me. So how...?" If the doctors who told her she'd be disfigured for life saw her at this mo
Long Tian's dark gaze alarmed Qing Yue. She stiffly smiled and tried to ignore the heat from her lips. But the close proximity to her husband made the task difficult.What's more, with their foreheads pressed together and their noses rubbing against each other, the two of them were practically sharing breath!"Brother...Tian...I'm done. I...I'm sleepy." Not really! But at this point, Qing Yue would say anything to escape Long Tian's predatory gaze."You're sleepy?" Long Tian skeptically asked."Yes. I...I'm really sleepy. The nap earlier wasn't enough.""Hmm...I'll help you to bed, then." Though he was disappointed, Long Tian tried not to show it. He understood his wife was alarmed by his sudden advances.But thinking of the fact that they were husband and wife, his heart relaxed and he relented with a gentle smile.They had all their life to know each other and develop their relationship. Long Tian was confident that with time, his Yue'er would come so close to him that no excuses wo
"Brother Tian...""Shhh...Yue'er, didn't you say I'll have to carry you in my arms or sat you on my lap before? Today, Brother Tian will sit you on his lap.""Huh?" What the he**! Where did that come from!?Qing Yue felt her head spin. Everything became too confusing and overwhelming."Why? You don't want to?" Long Tian paused and peered down at her. Though his face remained cold and neutral, since she was pressed against his chest, Qing Yue felt him tense up.This made her feel at a loss on what to say. The idea of sitting...on his lap was too abrupt and sudden. But Qing Yue didn't want to hurt her husband.She knew he wouldn't hurt or harm her. And after what happened earlier, was there a need for her to feel embarrassed?"Brother Tian, it's not that. I'm just a little shy." She admitted it."Yue'er, don't be shy. We're husband and wife."The tense muscles in Long Tian's body relaxed and a smile stretched across his face. He thought she didn't like his sudden intimacy. But her words
Long Tian felt hot and overwhelmed.The sudden surge of intense emotions sent silent tremors coursing through his body. He inadvertently groaned against his wife's delicate lips, the deep throaty sound causing Qing Yue to shiver.Sensing her reaction, his tongue slithered out and traced her lush lips, before insistently pushing on them.Qing Yue hesitated for a second. Her mind was muddled with the pleasure of his kiss, but she could perceive his intention through his action. He wanted her to open her lips.But she could also sense he was giving her the choice to refuse by not putting much force on his relentless tongue.This silent display of respect touched her. As a husband, Long Tian took care of her without complaint. He protected her and treated her with kindness and respect.He even took action to fulfill the dream she thought would forever be buried in her heart.Besides, she still had bandages covering her face, and yet, he didn't despise her or feel disgusted with her.Such
"This...Tian Tian, I understand how you must feel, but...you can't allow your feelings to control you. Why don..." "Uncle Yi Ming, set up the re-examination. I believe in Yue'er." Long Tian's cold voice and frosty eyes immediately silenced Yi Ming. "Call me when the re-examination date is fixed." Yi Ming nodded, still too stunned to speak. He watched in a daze as his nephew got up and pushed his wife out of the office. Bang! "Da**! Long Tian, you're truly out of your mind!" Returning to his senses, Yi Ming roared and pushed to his feet. However, his agitated cry only resounded in the silent room. The two individuals had left long ago. "Da**! This rotten nephew! He's bent on shaming me before the entire board of education directors. Let his wife retake the exam in front of them? Have them apologize to her? Is he blinded by the girl's charms?" Yi Ming was certain his nephew had lost his mind. There was no other reasonable explanation for his outrageous and overbearing request. It
Long Tian and Qing Yue's hovership landed in the same private open-air parking as their last visit. As Qing Yue was too nervous and worried about her exam results, she wasn't able to enjoy the scenery like the last time. Seeing her worried expression, Long Tian's dissatisfaction with his uncle increased. Uncle Yi Ming, you had better have a good reason for calling us in. His wife's tense appearance stoked an unnamable fire in Long Tian's heart. As they neared the administration building, he unconsciously released a frosty air that made the staff scatter away and maintain a distance from them. "Tian Tian, Qing Qing, you're here! Qing Qing, you don't mind if I call you Qing Qing, right?" Long Tian's face immediately darkened when he saw his unreliable Uncle. He couldn't help but wonder if the loose screws of his mind were that bad. "Aren't you already calling her Qing Qing?" He coldly asked. "Hahaha! I am, but I didn't ask before doing so. That's why I'm asking now." "Are my res
"Yue'er, Yue'er!""Huh? Ah! Brother Tian..." Qing Yue snapped back to attention. Li Feng's words, she'd forgotten about Long Tian."Sorry, Brother Tian. What were you saying?"Long Tian frowned and turned to look at her. "Are you okay? If you're feeling unwell, tell me.""Brother Tian, I'm capable enough to treat myself if I don't feel well. Will you stop worrying?" Qing Yue scowled. Her husband's nagging didn't stop even after his reaffirmation of her ability."Yue'er, don't get mad. I...It's because I care that I worry...hmm?" Long Tian knew his wife didn't like his excessive attention.But what could he do? After her fall, he never felt at ease. In fact, he had a feeling that he'd never stop worrying even if he wanted to until she fully recovered.He hurriedly reverted the topic back to his question. "So, can poisons be used to cure a virus?"Qing Yue scanned her husband's anxious expression and didn't call him out in his at
In the next few days, Qing Yue completely focused on her treatment.Now that she was going to enroll in a university, she was energetic and more motivated to recover. After all, how could a doctor that couldn't even treat herself, treat others?And now that her husband knew about her secret treatment sessions, she didn't need to be as secret as before.From 5-6 in the morning, her treatment length extended to from 3-6.This meant she spent three hours a day undergoing grilling treatment sessions that left her weak and powerless.Thankfully, her husband was by her side during all her sessions.When Long Tian first witnessed his wife's skills, he was flabbergasted. Then thinking she was still too young to possess such knowledge and godly techniques, he went on his WebCom and searched through the online links.Anything that had even the slightest mention of poison treatment, moxibustion, and acupuncture was read by him.Most of th
Couldn't he see the woman was still pinning for him? But as if blind to the affection of the other, Long Tian stretched out his hand and tenderly wiped his wife's lips. The action stunned both Lu Jin and Qing Yue. Even when they were together and the man spoiled her, Lu Jin had never seen such a tender look on his face. What's more, he even touched the ugly cripple's lips! Lu Jin felt suffocated. Her heart burned with the flames of jealousy and hatred as she resentfully glared at Qing Yue like she wanted to drink the other's blood and gnaw on her flesh. On the other hand, Qing Yue fiercely trembled when she sensed the other's vicious glare. Da** it! Why are you glaring at me!? If you have something to say, say it to the man you're chasing!
