There were too many people outside the airport, and Jiang Zhouzhou couldn't bring herself to kiss a man in broad daylight in the crowd.

Once in the car, she looked at the man beside her with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Alright, it's time to confess, you big cockroach. If you don't have a reasonable explanation, I'll really get angry."

She didn't like the feeling of being kept in the dark, even if it was done in the name of being kind to her.

I don't want to be a clueless idiot who knows nothing.

Seeing her lose her temper, Yin Yue took her hand and intertwined their fingers. "Don't be angry, I'll tell you the truth."

As a carefully groomed heir of a wealthy and powerful family, he has enjoyed unparalleled resources since birth.

He carries too many expectations on his shoulders. Even though he appears calm on the surface, he is sometimes so overwhelmed by the pressure that he can hardly breathe.

Raising a qualified successor is not easy; a large amount of money and energy must be invested, so he dares not slack off from a young age.

However, he disappointed the entire family.

Relinquishing power was no easy task; he knelt in the Yin family ancestral hall for three days and was subjected to family discipline.

Jiang Zhouzhou's fingertips curled around the back of his hand, her curled eyelashes lowered to hide the self-reproach in her eyes.

Yin Yue noticed her low spirits and gently rubbed her face with his other hand.

“It has nothing to do with you, baby. I’ve said it before, everything was my own choice.”

"Life is short. Compared to bearing the fate of a large family, I would rather build a small family with you."

He pulled her into his arms, loosened his grip on her fingers, and played with her fingertips.

Jiang Zhouzhou rested her head on Yin Yue's shoulder, her soft voice drifting into his ears.

“Brother Yin Yue…”

"Then you don't have to work so hard anymore, I'll take care of you."

"I have a lot of money now, and I will earn even more money in the future."

Hearing her soft voice, Yin Yue smiled and said, "Okay."

Jiang Zhouzhou raised her head and glanced at the driver in front of her.

If you don't have any sense, why don't you raise the barrier?

She lightly poked Yin Yue's waist with her finger, looked at him, and then glanced at the driver.

Yin Yue, understanding the implication, coughed softly.

The partition separating the carriages finally rose.

Jiang Zhouzhou's cheeks were slightly flushed as she slowly moved closer to Yin Yue's face, her soft lips brushing against his chin.

Compared to men whose kissing skills are becoming increasingly sophisticated, she, who has always been passive, remains clumsy in her kissing techniques.

She raised her hand and gently removed the glasses from his nose.

Then she kissed the corner of his lips again and held his lips in her mouth.

After a while...

The man in front of her stood motionless, while she was panting heavily.

"That's not how you kiss, baby."

Looking at her tender red lips, Yin Yue couldn't help but chuckle, his voice low and husky: "Good girl, open your mouth."

Jiang Zhouzhou obediently opened her mouth slightly, and the man pressed her head down with one hand, forcefully stealing her breath with a kiss.

Finally, they arrived at Yin Yue's residence. Mr. Yin, whose lips had been pale before, now looked as if he had applied a layer of lip rouge.

Just then, the family doctor came to change the dressing. As Jiang Zhouzhou watched Yin Yue take off his shirt and unwrap the bandages around his body, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

He spoke casually, but the scars on his body were shocking.

Each lash of the whip was delivered with tremendous force, leaving his entire back almost torn and bleeding.

"Don't cry, Zhouzhou. It's just a few superficial injuries, but it looks a bit scary."

"If you're scared, you can go to the study first. There are New Year's gifts prepared for you there in advance."

Jiang Zhouzhou sniffed and looked down at the man who was comforting her even while changing her dressing.

“I’m not scared at all. I want to stay here and learn how to change your dressing.”

She stood to the side, watching the family doctor change her dressing while studying diligently and memorizing all his instructions.

Before leaving, the family doctor said meaningfully, "The wound is healing very well, but I still want to remind you both to avoid strenuous exercise during this period."

Jiang Zhouzhou: "..."

That statement is completely unnecessary!

Yin Yue slowly put on his clothes and said in a serious tone, "I just can't do strenuous exercise, but I can do moderate exercise."

Jiang Zhouzhou, who understood, glared at him sharply and said, "Don't even think about it."

However, it was evening.

"Baby, can you do me a favor?" The pale-faced man gazed at her intently.

This man, who had always held the reins in her presence, was asking her for a favor for the first time.

His handsome face appeared slightly pale and fragile under the light.

Jiang Zhouzhou nodded without hesitation, "Sure, what do you want me to help with?"

Yin Yue hesitated and said, "I need your help to take a shower later, as the wound can't get wet."

Jiang Zhouzhou's lips twitched violently.

Perhaps thinking of something, his wrist started to ache again. "How did you wash before? Did Mr. Yin, who is usually so independent, suddenly become unable to take care of himself as soon as he saw me?"

She knew she shouldn't feel sorry for men.

She always falls for this guy's tricks.

Yin Yue smiled faintly, "I used to wash myself, but there were some places I couldn't reach. Now that you're here, it's naturally different."

"Please help me, baby!"

His voice was so ambiguous that Jiang Zhouzhou's ears would go weak every time she heard him call her "baby".

She went to the bathroom to adjust the water temperature, and the water sprayed onto her palms, flowing between her fingers.

A short while later, the bathroom door opened.

Even though she had clearly seen it, her face was still flushed.

"Be careful... Don't move around too much later, or the water will splash onto your wound."

At this moment, raising your head is not an option, nor is lowering it.

Jiang Zhouzhou had no choice but to resign herself to picking up the showerhead and carefully avoiding the wounds on his body.

When she saw the wound on his back again, her movements became even gentler.

Their lips drew close, and warm breath gently blew on them.

Yin Yue's body tensed, and he glanced at her sideways.

Jiang Zhouzhou: "Brother Yin Yue, let me blow on it and it won't hurt anymore."

The sound of running water in the bathroom suddenly stopped.

In the space filled with white, misty vapor, faint sounds of panting drifted out.

"No, you can't, you're injured."

"Baby, this little injury won't kill you, but if you keep enduring it, you really will."
