Tao Yao was packing her things. She was going to move out early tomorrow morning. She had lived here for two days and didn't have much stuff with her, just a few pieces of clothing.

The doorbell rang, Taoyao walked over and opened the door, it was Li Chennian.

His face was pale, his eyes were wandering, and he could not even stand steadily. When he saw Tao Yao, he forced a smile on his face.

"I have a stomachache and I cut my hand while cutting vegetables. Do you have a first aid kit?"

Tao Yao saw that his right arm was bleeding, and his blue shirt was stained red. The blood did not stop dripping down, and after a while, the blood formed a small puddle on the ground.

Tao Yao sighed deeply. In her impression, Li Chennian always did things in moderation. How come he could cut such a long cut when cutting vegetables now?

She moved aside to let him in, "Come in, I'll get you the medicine kit."

Li Chennian didn't move for a long time, and Tao Yao looked at him in confusion.

Tao Yao glared at him. She didn't understand why Li Chennian was still being so reserved at this time.

"Why don't you come in? Do you want to die from blood loss?"

Li Chennian took off his blue shirt, leaving his upper body naked. Tao Yao was startled by him. She was a little flustered and didn't dare to look. Just a quick glance, she found that Li Chennian had a good figure, with abdominal muscles and a vest line.

"What are you doing? Why are you taking off your clothes?"

Li Chennian laughed and tied up the wound with his shirt. When the bleeding stopped, he walked into the room.

"I'm afraid the blood will spill onto the floor and stain your carpet."

Tao Yao breathed a sigh of relief and bit her jelly-like lips shyly.

"Sit on the sofa. I'll get you a medicine box."

Li Chennian saw the suitcase on the ground. The clothes inside the suitcase were neatly stacked. A cold light flashed across his eyebrows.

Taoyao's sofa is off-white, covered with soft cushions, and smells fragrant. It is completely different from his house. His house is filled with darkness and decadence, while here, like hers, is full of warmth and sunshine.

He leaned against the sofa with his eyes closed, the aroma that made him feel comfortable and relaxed lingering around his nose. Li Chennian's body became weak and his tense nerves relaxed.

Tao Yao came down from upstairs with the first aid kit and saw Li Chennian with his eyes closed as if he was asleep. Even when he was asleep, his brows were furrowed. Tao Yao knew that it had not been easy for him in the past few years. He started from scratch and achieved what he has today, and he must have suffered a lot in the process.

She walked over, squatted in front of him, opened the medicine box, and untied the blue shirt he had just tied.

Li Chennian woke up as soon as she moved. The wound on his arm was still bleeding, and the flesh was exposed, which looked a little scary.

"Bear with it, it hurts a little."

After she finished speaking, she used iodine to rinse the wound. Li Chennian said nothing, his eyes always looking at her profile gently and calmly.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt. I used to fight with people all the time, so this injury is nothing."

Taoyao always thought that Li Chennian was a gentle nerd, and she looked up in surprise.

"Will you still fight?"

Li Chennian touched her head with his uninjured hand.

"Yes, my dad is an alcoholic. He used to beat my mom when he was drunk. My mom is in poor health, so I get beaten every time. When I go to school, people look down on me and often block me. Fighting is a common occurrence."

"But I'm tough. If someone can't kill me, I'll definitely kill him next time I get the chance."

Taoyao bandaged his wound with gauze.

"Li Chennian, I'm sorry for what happened before. I have something I've always wanted to give you."

When Tao Yao went upstairs to get the first aid kit, she also took down the gift she had prepared for Li Chennian five years ago.

Tao Yao handed him a long dark green box with a pink ribbon tied in a bow.

Li Chennian took it with his uninjured hand. He carefully untied the bow and opened the box. Inside was a pen with a capital L engraved on the pen case.

Li Chennian took the pen in his hand. It was heavy, with a dark green shell that felt cool to the touch. It was not made of ordinary material. Li Chennian was no longer the poor boy he used to be. He recognized it at a glance. This pen must cost at least six figures.

"Didn't I break your pen before? I'll give you a new one as compensation. I should have given it to you five years ago. I hope it's not too late now."

After Tao Yao finished speaking, her body was embraced in a hot embrace, and Li Chennian held her waist tightly.

"Thank you, I like it very much. It's not too late at all."

Taoyao didn't dare to move. Li Chennian's hot skin burned like fire, making her heart itch.

"Li Chennian, let me go, your hand is still injured."

Li Chennian hugged her for a while and then let go, and Taoyao's cheeks blushed with embarrassment.

"Wen Yirou, don't mind what Su Ning said yesterday. I've never liked her. Wen's funding chain is broken. I just want to help you. Xie Yun is anxious to shut down Wen's business. Your sister is surrounded by enemies, and your father is in the hospital."

Tao Yao's discomfort disappeared immediately after Li Chennian explained. Wen's father fell ill and the company has long been an empty shell. Wen Yiqian was busy as soon as he returned to China. Now Wen's is a hot potato and no one dares to take over.

Tao Yao really wanted to help Wen Yiqian, but she was powerless as she knew nothing about these things.

"Do you want to help your sister? I have an idea you want to hear."

Tao Yao sat on the sofa opposite him and nodded, "You said, I don't want her to suffer so much."

"I can help you replenish your capital chain, but you know I'm a businessman, and profit is paramount. The Wen Group is now besieged on all sides. If we want to revive it, we need not only funds but also stable profit relationships."

Tao Yao shook her head. "You're talking about an alliance marriage. With the Wen family in this state, who would be willing to form an alliance marriage with us? It's a mess that no one wants to clean up."

Li Chennian looked at her with burning eyes, "Me."

Tao Yao's heart suddenly started beating fast. "Marrying me won't do you any good. I don't agree."

Li Chennian pursed his lips and smiled. "I need a stable family relationship. You can consider it. It's just a contractual relationship. We won't have sex. You can still live your current life. We are just nominally married. I won't interfere with any of your decisions."

Li Chennian continued, "A harmonious family is also a great help to my career. You don't have to feel any psychological burden. My career is on the rise now, and I don't want to be tied down by all kinds of gossip. You know I don't like to interact with people, and I only know one woman."

Tao Yao was hesitating. What Li Chennian said was indeed good for her. Marrying him could help Wen Yiqian, and they would not interfere with each other after marriage. She was shamelessly moved.
