Meeting Jiang Youli's eyes, Qi Huan chuckled, "Of course I've heard about it."

"Then why didn't you mention it?" Jiang Youli looked at him seriously. "Did you already know who the Long family's backer was? Were you hiding something from me by not telling me?"

Seeing her bring it up, Qi Huan said with a helpless yet indulgent tone, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just felt there was no need for you to worry about my affairs."

Jiang Youli asked, "What do you mean?"

Qi Huan explained, "Long Yuan has suffered repeated setbacks at your hands. It's impossible that he didn't send people to investigate your background and confirm whether you still have any powerful backers he can't afford to offend, so that he can make plans for the future."

"and then?"

"Given your status, you certainly wouldn't let him investigate so easily. Take the night you dealt with Jiang Yangxu, for example. You had Night Shadow show up simply because you didn't mind me knowing your background."

"That's right, so what?"

"Therefore, Longyuan will believe that everything you have done has been tacitly approved by the Qi family, and perhaps you have even been involved in it."

At this point, Jiang Youli finally understood, "Long Yuan will definitely want to bring down your Qi family, and the only way to do that is to rely on the big shot behind the Long family. So that big shot will definitely cause trouble for your Qi family in the near future."

Qi Huan said, "Well, as my fiancée, your every word and action will be inextricably linked to my Qi family in the future. But it doesn't matter. No matter what the people behind the Long family want to do to my Qi family, I will naturally have a way to deal with it."

Jiang Youli teased, "Huanhuan, do you regret marrying a troublemaker like me?"

Qi Huan took her hand and sighed, feigning helplessness, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Who would ask such a question?" Jiang Youli said, both amused and exasperated.

Qi Huan said, "Exactly, how can you ask such a question? Do you think I'll regret it?"

He took Jiang Youli's hand and pressed it against his chest. "Don't you understand how true my feelings for you are?"

“I believe you are sincere towards me, but people are always good at disguising themselves to achieve their own goals,” Jiang Youli continued with a smile. “And the only reason I dare to believe you is because I have the cost of making mistakes.”

Without saying a word, Qi Huan pulled her into his arms and kissed her, silencing her.

This did indeed surprise Jiang Youli.

It's not that she can't defend herself, it's just that she doesn't want to refuse.

After releasing her lips, Qi Huan looked at her with some helplessness, "Little Li'er, you're too rational."

Skillful.

Duan Jinghan once said that about her.

She's too rational.

It seems like nothing can hurt her.

Therefore, after Duan Jinghan learned her identity, he thought of testing her in that way to see if breaking up with her would make her lose her temper and feel sad.

As it turns out, Jiang Youli wouldn't.

What about Qi Huan?

Jiang Youli asked herself this question: If Qi Huan suddenly broke up with her, or even after they got married, he suddenly asked for a divorce, would she be hurt?

She wasn't sure.

Yes, she was unsure.

She might be able to recover quickly, but that doesn't mean she won't get hurt.

Just like her biological parents and her own brother treated her.

She's easygoing, but she's never been without sadness.

Jiang Youli stepped away from him, saying, "Based on my experiences from childhood to adulthood, I can't help but be irrational."

She paused, then looked at Qi Huan thoughtfully and said, "Huanhuan, don't even think about making me show weakness."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and opened the lunchbox. "Alright, eat your food. I'll give you your treatment after you finish eating."

Qi Huan looked at the subtle expressions on her face and asked, "Little Li'er, are you angry?"

Jiang Youli replied directly, "No."

"I'm sorry," Qi Huan said naturally after pushing the wheelchair to the opposite side of Jiang Youli.

Jiang Youli paused, her hand holding the chopsticks still. "What are you doing? I told you I'm not angry."

Qi Huan said, "You're just telling yourself not to get angry."

Jiang Youli handed over another pair of chopsticks and said, "So, do you still want to eat or not?"

"Eat." Qi Huan smiled and took the chopsticks, silently eating with her.

Throughout the process, although there was not much verbal communication, Qi Huan's gaze never left Jiang Youli.

He quietly observed her every move, watching her eat and the occasional smile she showed, his heart filled with an indescribable warmth.

Finally, Jiang Youli finished her meal. She put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and looked up, just in time to meet Qi Huan's gaze.

Seeing this, Qi Huan said softly, "Little Li'er, whether you believe it or not, I never intended for you to show weakness."

"I said you're too rational, I just didn't want you to shoulder too much on your own."

"You are excellent and strong. Perhaps you have grown to the point where you don't need anyone to save you."

"But I just hope that sometimes you can be a little willful, instead of always preparing for the worst, as if that way you won't get hurt."

"But actually, you're also afraid, and you can get hurt."

"You just feel like you have no way out, so you force yourself never to show vulnerability or need."

After wiping her mouth clean with a wet wipe, Jiang Youli took out another wet wipe and threw it at his face. "Alright, I know. You're the one who's talking about me. Aren't you the same? You're planning to keep the fact that Longyuan has powerful backers a secret from me."

Qi Huan removed the wet towel from her face, wiped her mouth, and said, "Aren't you angry anymore?"

"If you say that again, I'll keep getting angry," Jiang Youli said, opening the medicine box and glaring at him.

Qi Huan smiled and said, "Okay, I won't say anything more."

Jiang Youli took out her needle kit and began to treat him.

Looking down at Qi Huan's knees, Jiang Youli's lips curled up slightly.

This is perhaps why she likes Qi Huan.

He always guided her so proactively, never letting her keep bad thoughts to herself.

……

"Young Master, Li Zixuan has already boarded a plane to the United States."

Long Yuan lay quietly on his private hospital bed, listening expressionlessly to his subordinates' report. His once handsome face was now wrapped in thick gauze, revealing only a pair of gloomy eyes that exuded a hint of coldness.

Li Zixuan!

How dare he betray me!

Long Yuan's anger was burning. He never expected that this dog would dare to bite him back!

"Send people to search immediately, and find him no matter how long it takes!" Long Yuan's voice was icy cold and devoid of any emotion, as if it came from hell, sending chills down one's spine.

"Yes, Master."

After his men left in fear, a cheerful voice, tinged with worry, rang out in the ward.

"Brother Yuan, how are you?"

Long Yuan was taken aback. He looked at his cousin Long Lin, who was walking in from the door, and said slowly, "It's alright, he won't die."

After sitting down, Long Lin looked at Long Yuan's injured face and said, "Who is so bold as to dare to blow up Brother Yuan at the Royal Bowling Alley?"

Long Yuan knew that even if Li Zixuan really betrayed him, he definitely wouldn't dare to do such a thing!

Jiang Youli must be pulling the strings behind the scenes!

Long Lin observed Long Yuan's expression and quickly came to his own conclusion, "Brother Yuan, it's Jiang Youli again, right? The incident at Nevernight City and Grandma being taken away by the police are all because of this Jiang Youli, aren't they?"

"Brother Yuan, is this Jiang Youli giving you a headache?"

"You should focus on recovering during this time. I'll handle Jiang Youli, okay?"
