"It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me!" President Zhang quickly waved his hands.

"You still dare to say it wasn’t you!"

Lin Ji Yang was really about to kick him when Zhao Anqi weakly called out, "Lin Ji Yang?"

"It’s your brother! Look at you, all beaten up and still waiting for your brother to step in. Tell me, do you want to be my girlfriend for a few days?"

After Lin Ji Yang finished speaking, he turned to the kneeling President Zhang and said, "Even I can’t get her; what the hell are you trying to do?"

"Nothing, nothing at all!"

"Then why aren’t you getting lost?!"

President Zhang and his gang immediately scrambled away in a panic.

Zhao Anqi then frowned and said, "You can put me down now!"

She was holding her stomach, still in a lot of pain.

"I finally got you in my arms, why would I put you down!" Lin Ji Yang carried her directly to his car and drove off.

He took her straight to his place, carried her into his room, and laid her on the bed.

He reached out to examine her shirt, wanting to see her stomach.

Zhao Anqi blocked him with her hand, "What are you doing?"

"I see you’re in a lot of pain. I want to check if you’re hurt. I’m not a doctor, but I’ve dealt with minor injuries before. If it’s serious, we have to call a doctor."

"I’m fine, just didn’t eat before and got punched, so my stomach feels uncomfortable." Zhao Anqi curled up, looking pitiful.

Lin Ji Yang glanced at her, pulled the blanket over her, and left the room, "Tell the Ning Family, today some man named Zhang offended me. If he doesn’t lose an arm or a leg, there’s no end to this."

"But young master, the head said you should..."

"I’ve already been low-key enough!" He hung up and cursed. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Soon he returned with a bowl of porridge, "The takeout isn’t bad these days; try to eat a bit."

The person on the bed remained still, Lin Ji Yang hesitated, set the bowl aside, sat down, and picked her up in his arms again; her face was pale, and tears were still clinging to the corners of her eyes.

So different from the sharp and witty person she usually was, Lin Ji Yang didn’t know where to look. A strange feeling surged in his heart, but he couldn’t express it.

"Open your mouth and drink a bit. This is the first time your brother is taking care of someone!" He supported her with one hand and brought the bowl to Zhao Anqi’s lips with the other.

Zhao Anqi slowly swallowed a little, almost throwing up.

Lin Ji Yang was startled and almost wanted to toss her away, but he thought this is his bed, so he supported her forcefully. Luckily, she didn’t vomit.

He grit his teeth and fed her a little more before laying her down to rest.

After setting aside the bowl and chopsticks, Lin Ji Yang looked at her. Her face just got prettier and prettier the more he looked at it—laying there so quietly—not as flashy but exuding a tranquil warmth.

Very much like his mother’s photos when she was young...

Only such a beautiful woman could give birth to someone as handsome as himself, right?

Lin Ji Yang regretted that he never got to see his mother; she passed away when he was born.

And this woman, so close in front of him now, he couldn’t help but stare—the more he looked, the more beautiful she became...

Lin Ji Yang shook his head; this woman was dangerous. He couldn’t let himself fall for it. He lay down on the sofa and played games while waiting for her to wake up.

When Zhao Anqi woke up and found herself in a strange room, she was startled. The shock awakened Lin Ji Yang, who was sleeping on the sofa, causing the game console in his hand to fall to the ground with a thud.

"Wh-what happened?"
