The main hall of the Jiang residence.

Ling Siye carried the 'sleeping' Jiang Huan in.

The people on the sofa all looked over.

"What happened? What's wrong with Huanhuan?" Old Jiang asked anxiously, but his heart was actually calm.

He knew his granddaughter's abilities, and he also knew Ling Siye's abilities, so he knew that his granddaughter would definitely not be in any danger.

However, Wen Yan and the other two were unaware of Huanhuan's recovery, so he had to pretend.

Qin Wenyan stared intently at Ling Siye, about to speak.

Ling Siye spoke first: "Huanhuan is tired from playing and has fallen asleep."

Old Jiang's tone softened, "Then quickly take Huanhuan upstairs to rest! By the way, has Huanhuan eaten?"

"I ate it," Ling Siye said.

Just then, Jiang Huan's stomach rumbled at an inopportune moment.

Ling Siye remained expressionless, but tightened his grip on her.

This girl, is she doing this on purpose?

Jiang Huan pursed her lips, thinking to herself that she didn't do it on purpose, and there was simply no way to control it.

I haven't eaten a single bite since noon until now, and I even took a nap. I'm lucky I didn't faint from hunger!

“Huanhuan ate, but I haven’t eaten yet,” Ling Siye explained.

Old Jiang knew these two very well, and he immediately understood. "I'll have the servants make some food and bring it upstairs for you."

"Thank you, grandpa."

After saying that, Ling Siye carried Jiang Huan upstairs.

Upon seeing this, Qin Wenyan clenched his fists, his eyes filled with jealousy and resentment, but he couldn't show it in front of Grandpa Jiang. "Grandpa, are you really going to let Ling Siye take care of Huanhuan from now on?"

Old Jiang picked up his teacup and took a small sip. "What's wrong? I think this child of yours is quite good..."

“But Grandpa… given the situation of the Ling family, if Huanhuan marries Ling Siyue, how will she cope with those wolves and tigers in the Ling family when she hasn’t recovered?” Qin Wenyan said earnestly.

Cheng Siqi nodded in agreement: "Yes, Grandpa, although Ling Siye is the head of the Ling family, he only has the support of Old Master Ling. But Old Master Ling is seriously ill now. If anything happens to Old Master Ling, Ling Siye won't even be able to take care of himself, let alone Huanhuan."

Li Huaichuan was unusually silent this time, but he seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

After all, he was a businessman with his own business empire, and he sometimes admired Ling Siye quite a bit.

She was younger than him, but sometimes he couldn't match her ruthless methods.

How could such a strong person allow himself to be at a disadvantage?

He believed that the so-called wolves and tigers of the Ling family posed no threat to Ling Siyue at all; rather, it was other vicious wolves...

"Brother Chuan, say something..." Cheng Siqi called out to Li Huaichuan, who was in a daze.

Li Huaichuan snapped out of his daze, sat up straight, and his expression became serious. "Grandpa, I don't think those people from the Ling family are a threat to Ling Siyue. Ling Siyue can protect Huanhuan well in the Ling family."

"Brother Chuan, you—"

“But,” Li Huaichuan interrupted Cheng Siqi before he could finish speaking, “it’s not just the Ling family who dislike Ling Siyue. With Ling Siyue’s arrogance and aloofness, he has offended quite a few people over the years. If those people unite, it will be a huge problem for Ling Siyue. When he is preoccupied with his own problems, how can he take care of Huanhuan?”

After listening, Old Jiang looked at them and asked, "Do you all think that Ling Siye can't take good care of Huanhuan?"

Qin Wenyan and the other two nodded in unison, a rare occurrence.

"So you mean to just hand Huanhuan over to the three of you?" Old Jiang asked, his eyes sharp. "Although you all said you would be Huanhuan's fiancés and take care of her in the future, there is only one Huanhuan, and only one person she can marry. So who among you can guarantee that you will be able to protect her after marrying her?"

"I can!" Qin Wenyan said first.

Li Huaichuan also spoke up: "I can ensure that Huanhuan lives a life free from worries about food and clothing."

Cheng Siqi, who was always outspoken, hesitated at this moment, showing more consideration. He didn't speak so resolutely. "Grandpa, the issue now isn't which of the three of us can definitely protect Huanhuan, but rather that Ling Siye's approach to Huanhuan might be ill-intentioned... He hasn't had much contact with Huanhuan, how could he possibly like her? He must have something to gain..."

Unbeknownst to the three of them, their conversation with Elder Jiang had been overheard by the two parties involved.

in the room.

Jiang Huan, holding her tablet, leaned back on the sofa and glanced out of the corner of her eye at Ling Siyue, whose face darkened because of their comments. She smiled brightly, "Ling Siyue, Ling Siyue, see? They all look down on you and think you can't protect me!"

After hearing this, Ling Siye reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her into his arms and holding her tightly. "And what about you? Do you believe me?"

Jiang Huan was stunned. Looking at his face, which was pressed tightly against hers, her breath became slightly hot. She struggled with her elbow and turned her face away. "Let go of me first!"

Is this guy crazy? Why does he keep wanting to hug her?

How old are you? You're still acting like you're still being breastfed, with that look on your face that begs to be held!

"Answer me first." Ling Siye raised his hand, lifted her chin, and turned her face to face.

"Don't force me to use force," Jiang Huan said through gritted teeth.

This guy is always flirting with her, he's really bold!

“They’re downstairs. If a fight breaks out, you’ll be the one exposed,” Ling Siye said with a confident smile.

"You...you think I only have strength?" Jiang Huan narrowed his eyes and made a hand seal.

She's going to teach this guy a lesson!

Ling Siye's eyes widened slightly in surprise, but his words remained nonsensical: "Let me see what you've got?"

"Fine, very fine!" He brought it on himself!

Jiang Huan loosened her grip, and a red lotus flower entered his body.

A faint red lotus shadow appeared on his smooth, full forehead a second later.

A burning sensation arose within his body.

Suddenly, a surge of rage inexplicably arose...

A minute passed.

Jiang Huan stared blankly at his unchanged face.

What the heck? No reaction? Did I go too easy on myself?

But if it's a little heavier, he'll probably cry out in pain, right?

"Ling Siyue, you're not at all—"

puff!

Before Jiang Huan could finish speaking, Ling Siye spat out a mouthful of blood.

Jiang Huan was startled, a sudden panic rising in her heart.

what?

"How did you..."

"It's nothing." Ling Siye forced a smile, but then felt a wave of dizziness, his hand loosened, and he collapsed onto her.

This time, Jiang Huan didn't avoid him like before, but subconsciously reached out and hugged him.

The heavy weight told her that he had really fainted.

isn't it?

She struck very lightly, much lighter than she had struck Qiao Ziyue and the other two at the charity gala.

With Ling Siye's martial arts-trained physique, he shouldn't have such a severe reaction!

Jiang Huan reached out and grasped his wrist, using her inner energy to examine his pulse.

How could it have relapsed?

It hasn't been that long since the last time, and she already gave him acupuncture. Logically, he shouldn't have fallen ill so quickly...

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door.
