Lovely Icebox Girl

Chapter 213: Only Strangled in the Cradle


Immortal Liu suddenly froze and showed a coquettish smile, "I've never thought about that question, I guess I'm used to seeing myself as human. Miss Su Wan, it's been four days, how are you feeling now?"


"Much better, much better. Lying in bed every day has even made me gain weight." Hearing Immortal Liu's words, I belatedly realized that I had actually been unconscious for three days.


Immortal Liu's promise to meet Yu Longting after four days was also perfectly timed.


"You take good care of yourself, and once I've dealt with the three people on the list, I'll come to see you." Immortal Liu was noticeably more affectionate towards me, blew me a kiss, and then suddenly disappeared.


I gazed at Yu Longting and clung to his waist, "What list did you give to Immortal Liu?"


"Some old friends of your father." Yu Longting said.


I blinked, "Is it those who have captured the soul of the Ancestor of Foxes? Those friends from my dad's past. How did you manage to get this list?"


"Naturally, I found ways to investigate. After returning from the Ye Family, I sent my disciples to look into it."


Yu Longting pulled the blanket up to cover my back, "Did you think your husband just sits around? I won't let Xuanjing get the chance to make a move, I'll nip it in the bud."


"So, Yun Hao was also sent by you to... do this?" My eyes twinkled, completely captivated by the man before me.


There was a tingling in my heart, feeling almost like a dream.


To think that one day I would fall for him, and one day he would be so kind to me.


Yu Longting leaned down and kissed my lips, "Yes, I will arrange everything. You don't have to worry too much. Are you hungry? I'll go get some food for you."


"No, I want to take a bath first. I haven't for four days, and my hair is all tangled," I said, recalling how long I had been without a bath and feeling a bit shy around Yu Longting.


Yu Longting sniffed my hair, "It still smells nice, I don't mind. But taking a bath will require some strength, can you manage?"


"I had a solid sleep, I won't go down that easily," I told Yu Longting.


Then I took a bath and ate some food.


Though I still felt a bit lethargic, there was a refreshing clarity in my mind, just being indoors too long was stifling.


Knowing that Yu Longting didn't want me engaging in strenuous activities, I seized the opportunity to act coquettishly, "Longting, I want to go out for a walk, is that alright? It's too stuffy in the room."


This was the first time I acted coquettishly with him.


Bracing for him to cringe and show a disgusted expression.


"Wanwan, if you want my life, just say so." Yu Longting pressed his thumb heavily on my lips, and with a fierce look in his eyes, said, "That sweet voice of yours already captivates one's heart, and now you dare to act cute and coquettish. With you in this condition, I can't touch you. Are you trying to murder your own husband, causing me to burst and die...?"


"…" I stared at him blankly, my mind in disarray.


What the heck, what is this?!


What is he even talking about...


"Burst and die" are words he could actually say.


I seriously suspect that both Yu Longting and his brother Yu Rongling are monkeys in disguise.


Yu Longting wrapped a coat around me and even added gloves, then led me outside, "Come on, let's stroll down the streets."


"No, no, no, let's not. It's midsummer, and if I wear this much, people will laugh at me." I spoke too late, as his quick and flashy footwork had already brought me to the marketplace in the blink of an eye.


The midsummer sun was warm, and everyone on the street wore short-sleeve T-shirts.


Despite my out-of-place attire, no one seemed to find it odd or gave me strange looks.


I met a few acquaintances who all showed understanding, "Yuanyuan, wearing so much, are you sick? Take care of your health."


"Haven't seen you at the shop these days, was rather missing you. Get well soon."


"A daughter and a son from the Ming Family were saved by Master Chen. It's unexpected that our small Spring Wind Town could produce such an incredibly skilled individual."
