Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Speechless

Leng Yichen had a faintly dark line on his face. He had only mentioned wanting to eat fish, who knew Bai Yiran would make so much fish for him. However, looking at these fish, Leng Yichen felt a soft warmth in his heart, and the corners of his mouth curved up into an indiscernible smile.

Hearing Bai Yiran say how tiring it was to make the fish, he felt a little guilty and took a small box out of his pocket, handing it over to Bai Yiran with a syrupy sweet tone, "Thank you for your hard work."

Bai Yiran took the box and opened it, revealing a beautiful diamond necklace, with a small diamond fairy pendant. Leng Yichen had seen this necklace in a shop window on his way back and bought it right away, as it reminded him of Bai Yiran. This was the first time Leng Yichen had bought something with someone specific in mind, a feeling both novel and delightful.

At first glance, the necklace was obviously not cheap, and Bai Yiran’s instinct was to return it to Leng Yichen. Leng Yichen, anticipating her reaction, immediately said, "We are husband and wife, and this necklace is bought for my wife."

With Leng Yichen putting it that way, Bai Yiran could say no more, holding the necklace with uncertainty about what to do next. Leng Yichen removed the necklace, walked to behind Bai Yiran, "Let me put it on for you."

Bai Yiran could feel Leng Yichen’s warm breath on her neck, a teasing warmth that made her feel strange.

Leng Yichen skillfully put the necklace on Bai Yiran, then stepped in front of her, admiring her like a piece of art, "Not bad! It suits you very well!"

Bai Yiran looked at the little fairy and said shyly, "Thank you."

"No need to thank me."

"However, judging by how deftly you put the necklace on, it’s definitely not your first time doing this for a woman, is it?" Bai Yiran straightforwardly exposed Leng Yichen’s experienced demeanor.

Leng Yichen paused, blinking, "Uh... I’m going to wash my hands and get ready for dinner!"

Finishing his sentence, Leng Yichen went to the restroom.

Watching the usually composed Leng Yichen in such a rare moment of fluster, Bai Yiran smiled softly.

As he ate the fish Bai Yiran made, Leng Yichen increasingly felt that he had married well. Her cooking was truly impressive. During the day at the company, he had been eagerly anticipating dinner at home, filling him with motivation in his work.

"Did anything happen during the day today?" Leng Yichen asked casually.

Bai Yiran was slightly taken aback, "No... I just went to the supermarket with Sister Liu in the morning, I drove the car, and started cooking in the afternoon... nothing much happened all day."

"Hmm." Leng Yichen responded softly through his nose and continued eating. After a long pause, Leng Yichen finally said lightly, "You should avoid driving in the future. If you need anything, just call Wang Hai to take you."

For some reason, Bai Yiran felt as though Leng Yichen knew something, though upon closer inspection she couldn’t tell what it might be. Thinking about how she had crashed the car on her second time driving, Bai Yiran responded meekly, "Got it."

The hospital room of Liu Zhen

Liu Zhen was lying in the hospital bed playing on his phone, cursing excitedly at times, "This is so damn bullshit! Damn it!"

"You’re quite leisurely, aren’t you!" a sinister female voice interrupted.

Liu Zhen was startled but relaxed upon seeing who had arrived, reverting to his earlier demeanor, "Why are you guys here so late?"
