As soon as their eyes met, Wen Lan held her breath.

"Secretary Nan said you had a fever last night."

She changed the subject.

"The air conditioner is turned up so high here, and you're blown by the wind right after taking a shower. No wonder you caught a cold."

Wen Lan ran to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room.

"I'll open the curtains so you can enjoy some sunshine and natural breeze, okay?"

She tried to pull at the curtains, but couldn't move them.

"Is it stuck?"

Wen Lan talked to herself.

Bu Yufan also came over, stood behind Wen Lan, and pressed the switch.

The gorgeous velvet curtain slowly opened.

“It’s electric.”

He answered solemnly from behind her.

Wen Lan responded and turned around.

That curtain was like a curtain slowly opening on a stage.

The sunlight came in bit by bit, and the shadow on him gradually dissipated.

Wen Lan was thinking about what to say, but was stunned by what she saw.

Bu Yufan's naked upper body appeared so clearly in front of her.

That nearly perfect male body was actually covered with scars of varying depths.

"You?...Are these old injuries?"

Wen Lan's slender fingers couldn't help but touch the scars.

Bu Yufan did not dodge or evade at all.

“These are the ones I used to…”

He was about to explain.

Wen Lan's attention was attracted by a deep scar on his arm.

"Bu Yufan, you, are you also injured?"

Wen Lan felt a shudder run through his body. The scar looked like it was caused by a sharp weapon.

He did not ignore her trembling, and gazed at Wen Lan more frankly and tenderly.

"I scared you, didn't I?"

There was a hint of self-mockery in Bu Yufan's tone.

"I'm not afraid. I just want to know, what are you thinking?"

Wen Lan had just said half of her words when Bu Yufan's cell phone rang upstairs.

He pointed upstairs.

"I'll answer the phone first."

He spoke a few words in quick succession and had to explain the whole phone call to her.

Bu Yufan returned to the master bedroom, answered the phone, put it on speakerphone, and put it aside.

"Yufan, it's me, I'm Liya."

Seeing that Bu Yufan didn't respond, An Liya began to pour out her heart.

"It's like this. After coming back this time, I feel like there's a lot of distance between us."

Bu Yufan went to the cloakroom to choose clothes and listened to An Liya talking casually.

"Now that we have both reached a new stage in our careers, we should be together, right?"

He changed into a casual shirt with lilac and white stripes and a loose fit.

The lower body is matched with a pair of jade-colored trousers.

This outfit is simple, clean and elegant.

"An Liya, I want to find a time to talk to you about this matter."

"I wanted to say this last night, but I wasn't feeling well, so..."

Bu Yufan picked up his cell phone and walked down the solid wood stairs barefoot.

Other people like to use marble in their mansions, but he likes the texture of wood grain.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Anlia asked nervously.

Bu Yufan walked down the stairs and saw that Wen Lan had already prepared breakfast.

"I'm fine now."

He switched his left hand to hold the phone and picked up the peanut milk made by Wen Lan in his right hand.

"Yufan, I'm just downstairs from your house. Don't forget, I'm a doctor."

Anlia wandered at the entrance of the luxury residential area, where security was strict.

Bu Yufan frowned. He remembered that last night in the restaurant, An Liya had asked him where he lived.

"Anlia, I think this is not very convenient. I am not used to having outsiders in my house."

Bu Yufan refused very cleanly without any hesitation.

"I'm not used to having a woman in the house either."

He took a few sips of the hot drink and stared at Wen Lan's busy figure.

Wen Lan was obviously stunned when he heard this.

Bu Yufan could even see that she paused in her movements for a moment.

But soon, Wen Lan felt relieved.

She felt that she was neither an outsider nor a woman to Bu Yufan.

Just an ordinary employee.

Bu Yufan hung up the phone with An Liya.

Wen Lan brought the freshly-cooked scallion and minced pork pancake in front of him.

"You just got over your fever, do you feel greasy?"

"I have already removed the scum with a paper towel. How about I cook some noodles for you?"

Wen Lan just brought a variety of ingredients from the company for him to choose from.

“Not greasy at all, very fragrant and delicious.”

Bu Yufan finished a meat-filled pancake in just a few bites.

"Then try this one? The one with the candy center."

Wen Lan used the serving tongs to pick one up for him, and Bu Yufan accepted it.

"Be careful!"

Before Wen Lan finished her reminder, the sugar core flowed out and burned Bu Yufan's mouth.

Wen Lan gave a playful smile.

"You have a pretty good appetite. This is millet porridge."

She served him another bowl of porridge, which was just the right temperature, hot but not scalding.

"I cut up some Shanghai sausage. And some pickled cucumbers that I made myself."

The warm blue pickled cucumbers are light and refreshing.

"Let's eat together."

Bu Yufan asked her to sit down and moved the plate between them.

He drank two bowls of porridge and ate four or five pancakes with some side dishes.

The discomfort from last night's fever has gone away and I'm back to almost normal.

Underground Parking Lot.

"You just recovered from your illness, so I'll drive."

Wen Lan took out Bu Yufan's keys and opened the car.

"Will your fingernails get stuck again?"

Bu Yufan pointed at the door handle.

"Yes! Every time I drive your car, there are always emergencies of one kind or another."

Wen Lan answered truthfully.

She drove to the ground level with ease and opened the door of this top-notch luxury mansion.

An Liya was still waiting at the gate of Bu Yufan's luxury residential complex.

She knew Bu Yufan's character very well, and he would only respond to soft tactics and not hard ones.

Seeing that she has been waiting for a long time, I must feel sorry for her and want to meet her.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for so long, my hard work really paid off.

Anlia saw the very eye-catching phantom green Aston Martin.

The car just arrived at the door and was still braking, not moving.

She was filled with joy and was about to rush forward to stop Bu Yufan.

But I saw a woman sitting in the driver's seat.

"Could it be that someone in this neighborhood drives the same model of car?"

This is not surprising. People who can live here can easily afford an SUV worth four or five million.

An Liya looked at it again with no interest.

Why does this woman driving the car look so familiar?

She is……

The woman who took her child to the hospital that day?

She is Wen Lan!

The person sitting in the passenger seat is Bu Yufan?

Anlia was stunned.

Just now, Bu Yufan told her that he was "not used to having outsiders at home."

"I'm even less used to having a woman in the house."

Then what is she, that Wen Lan?

Not an outsider? Not a woman?

Anlia's sense of humiliation suddenly reached its peak!

She tightly grasped the strap of her shoulder bag. The strap was inlaid with metal rivets, and the sharp tips pricked her palms painfully.

The phone in my bag rang. It was a call from the hospital.

"Doctor An, why haven't you come to work yet? The director is very angry and asked you to come back immediately."
