Is this the good karma for good people? A slight smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, but he could only let his arms hang by his sides, not daring to do the Dragon Claw Hand, otherwise it would scare them.

If he could openly hold Yurong with one arm and Yue Yao with the other, how luxurious would that be!

Having such thoughts at this moment, Li Yan felt a bit shameless... Just as he was quietly critiquing himself, he heard Yue Yao say: "Have we arrived?"

"Arrived where?"

"The elevator has arrived! Should we press the button?"

Yurong was supporting his waist with one hand and his arm with the other, and Yue Yao was doing the same. Li Yan, feeling like a scarecrow, dared not move his hands unnecessarily.

"Can you check if the elevator is still running?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Yes!" Yurong quickly replied.

"That makes sense. There might not be many guests on this floor, or perhaps others have already left quickly using the elevator. There are still many guests above, all trying to use the elevator to leave. Let’s rest here for a moment and go down later, when there are fewer people. The robbers downstairs might have left by then." Li Yan arranged.

Yue Yao was used to his arrangements, and in such a situation, Yurong also followed his direction. However, as the CEO of Heaven, she still had a habit of questioning. "If others are leaving, could there be other dangers? What if they guard the exit, hold everyone hostage, or blow up the entire hotel..."

"Haha, it’s not that dangerous. Modern buildings are framed structures. Blowing up one wall would only damage that wall and not cause the upper floors to collapse unless all the pillars were blown up. It takes a lot of explosives to blow up an entire hotel, which would be very noticeable. These are robbers seeking wealth, not terrorists. Similarly, with their manpower, it’s difficult to control the entire hotel."

"Then we’ll listen to you..."

Standing there like this was uncomfortable, so Li Yan tried to open his eyes but felt a sharp pain. He suggested, "Why don’t we sit down and rest for a while?"

"Sit? Where can we sit? There are no seats here!" Yurong gave him a straightforward answer.

Yue Yao smiled and said nothing.

Li Yan explained, "We can sit on the floor. This is a five-star hotel; it’s clean, even if we sit on the ground. You might not be used to it, so how about this: I sit on the floor, and you sit on my lap."

Yurong felt a bit awkward. What would that look like? "No need, I can stand. If you want to sit, you sit."

Li Yan backed away a bit, touched the wall, then sat down while leaning against it, coughing a few times.

Yurong and Yue Yao squatted down beside him, "Are you okay? Was it really uncomfortable just now when you were choking?"

Li Yan wanted to say that it wasn’t true at all. Since you two girls can endure it, what can I do? But... he pretended to struggle to breathe and said, "Yes... it’s very uncomfortable... I can’t breathe..."

"What should we do?" Yue Yao knew Li Yan well enough to see through his act. But looking at Li Yan’s eyes and how really uncomfortable he seemed just now, and considering he went in and out twice, it must be more severe for him than for them. She was genuinely concerned.

"It’s okay... just can’t talk or might pass out from lack of oxygen. There shouldn’t be any life-threatening danger... No need for artificial respiration..." Li Yan spoke with great effort, as if he were about to run out of breath.

Yue Yao found it amusing; this guy was just deceiving Yurong’s concern! However, she also understood today was crucial for their relationship to heal. If touched, combined with an intimate kiss, it could definitely bring warmth back.

She was clear that if she stayed here, Zhang Yurong probably wouldn’t do it. So she quickly stood up, "Don’t worry, I’ll find some water for you. If you drink some water, you won’t lack oxygen! Wait here..."

Yurong wanted to stop her, but she had already run away. She thought he did need to replenish some water, but... now that he was having difficulty breathing due to lack of oxygen, it’s not about needing water... Should she really give him artificial respiration?

She hesitated slightly, seeing Li Yan with his tightly closed, red eyes, tears streaming – her heart warmed, and pained again. This was a pain he endured for her! What was artificial respiration? They had done it already at noon, even if he was pretending... even now, he might be pretending, but as a wife, should she ignore her husband’s discomfort simply because it might be pretense?

With Yue Yao already gone and Li Yan unable to open his eyes, Yurong, although slightly blushing, didn’t feel embarrassed anymore. She softly said, "Lie down... it’ll feel a bit better..."

Li Yan felt her gently helping him to lie down, as her face timidly came closer. This made him feel a bit guilty, so he softly said, "Honey, actually I was tricking you... I’m fine, I don’t need artificial respiration... I just... just wanted to kiss you..."

"Don’t talk! Breathe in..." Yurong’s lips had already leaned down towards his.

Though she had guessed this might be the case, hearing his confession, a new hesitation filled her heart – what if he held back his discomfort because she didn’t like giving artificial respiration, and thus said this deliberately?

So now, she decided to finish the artificial respiration! Perhaps all that happened tonight made her want to kiss Li Yan passionately too...
