Having many handsome men means no worries; pampering them all keeps me in good spirits.

Chapter 177 I Won't Abandon You

Lin Zhijie called softly, "My husband, where are you..."

In fact, Lin Zhijie had already woken up when Jiang Qingyan and Liang Cheng went to the table to eat, but just as he was about to speak, he heard Liang Cheng's words...

He wanted to hear what the two of them would say, but to his surprise, Liang Cheng advised her husband not to stay with her.

Seeing that her husband was about to agree, he quickly interrupted...

Upon hearing Lin Zhijie's voice, Jiang Qingyan immediately got up and sat down by the bedside, softly saying, "I'm here..."

Lin Zhijie's eyes trembled slightly. He quickly grabbed Jiang Qingyan's hand and choked out, "I thought my husband disliked that I couldn't get out of bed, so he left me..."

Seeing Lin Zhijie's pitiful appearance, Jiang Qingyan's heart softened, and she quickly comforted him, "Baby, don't think too much. How could I abandon you? I promised to take care of you until your foot injury heals..."

Hearing Jiang Qingyan say this, Lin Zhijie finally relaxed.

She wants to steal her husband? No way!

Lin Zhijie's long eyelashes fluttered like a delicate porcelain doll. In the blink of an eye, a tear slowly rolled down his cheek, making Jiang Qingyan feel even more heartbroken.

She patiently explained, "Liang Cheng came to bring breakfast earlier, but I saw you were sleeping soundly so I didn't wake you. However, I was so tired last night and very hungry, so I ate a few bites first. Now that you're awake, I'll go and bring the breakfast over, and we can eat together in bed."

Having said that, he got up and went out.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhijie grabbed her arm and pulled her onto the bed.

Jiang Qingyan stumbled and fell onto Lin Zhijie, blinking her big, watery eyes and asking in confusion, "Don't you want to eat?"

Lin Zhijie looked deeply into Jiang Qingyan's eyes and said earnestly, "Husband, please don't leave me...?"

At this moment, in Jiang Qingyan's eyes, Lin Zhijie was like a little dog afraid of being abandoned by its owner, his eyes brimming with tears, pitifully begging his owner not to leave him...

Jiang Qingyan couldn't help but chuckle, then quickly leaned down and gave Lin Zhijie a light kiss on the lips, saying softly, "Baby, I really just went to get the food, I didn't mean to leave you behind."

Lin Zhijie pursed her lips and said, "I don't want to eat. I don't want my husband to leave me..."

Jiang Qingyan raised her hand and gently stroked Lin Zhijie's handsome face, earnestly promising, "Zhijie, I promise that I will never abandon you until your foot injury heals. Don't worry, your husband is the Emperor, and his word is law."

Lin Zhijie put his arm around Jiang Qingyan's waist and asked again, "What if other brothers also want you to come with them?"

Jiang Qingyan gently tapped Lin Zhijie's nose and said affectionately, "Now that you're injured, it's my duty to take care of you. They'll all understand. After you recover, I'll spend more time with them to make it up to them."

Lin Zhijie pouted, displeased, and said, "So after I recover, my husband will only spend time with my brothers and not with me? I'd rather this foot injury never heal, so my husband can always stay by my side..."

Jiang Qingyan frowned upon hearing this. "Pah, pah, pah... What nonsense are you talking about? Good health is the foundation of everything! Do you expect me to serve you every day with my frail body?"

Lin Zhijie curled his lips into a smile, stroking Jiang Qingyan's smooth, fair back, and murmured, "Husband... actually, my waist is quite flexible..."

After saying that, he raised his hand, cupped the back of Jiang Qingyan's head, and kissed her deeply on the lips...

Liang Cheng, who was standing outside the screen, couldn't help but shake his head when he heard their conversation.

Well, he was just one of the most insignificant of her husband's many men, so where did he get the confidence to think he could persuade her husband?

He's been too talkative and nosy today...

After a long while, Jiang Qingyan buried her head contentedly in Lin Zhijie's neck and said coquettishly, "Since you're so amazing, why didn't you use your skills last night? You made me so tired I felt like my bones were about to fall apart..."

Lin Zhijie gently kissed Jiang Qingyan's hair, panting, and said, "Last night, it was clearly my husband who asked me to show you how good you are..."

Jiang Qingyan slowly raised her head, staring at Lin Zhijie's lips, and couldn't help but kiss him again, murmuring, "I want to see how good you are again..."

Lin Zhijie curled his lips into a smile, passionately responding to Jiang Qingyan's kiss, mumbling indistinctly, "Then, my husband, let me show you my even more amazing skills..."

The pond water in the courtyard garden splashed and slapped as the fish swung their tails, and under the morning sun, it grew even warmer.

After an unknown amount of time, the fish finally ran out of energy and lay quietly in the pond, feeling the warm, rippling water.

Inside the room, Jiang Qingyan's face was flushed. She gently hugged Lin Zhijie's neck and praised, "Zhijie, you're simply a vixen—a natural beauty! If you were sold to a brothel, you'd be the queen of courtesans!"

The words had barely left her mouth when Jiang Qingyan suddenly remembered the nightmare she had had when she contracted the plague…

In the dream, Lin Zhijie was sold to a male prostitution brothel, where she was humiliated day and night, and finally drained of her body until she died from exhaustion...

Thinking of this, she quickly changed her words, saying, "Pah, pah, pah... I was just talking nonsense. My Zhijie would never go to a place like that. You are mine, mine alone..."

After saying that, she buried her head in Lin Zhijie's neck, hugging him tightly with both arms, as if afraid he would suddenly disappear...

Lin Zhijie chuckled and stroked Jiang Qingyan's back, saying affectionately, "Yes, I belong to my husband alone, and always will be..."

Suddenly remembering that nightmare, Jiang Qingyan's mood instantly plummeted, and she lost her appetite, so she leaned against Lin Zhijie and fell asleep...

Jiang Qingyan was still not awake when Liang Cheng came to deliver lunch.

Seeing that the food delivered in the morning was still untouched, Liang Cheng frowned, picked up the food box in his hand, and strode around the screen to the bedside.

Lin Zhijie slept soundly last night, so he didn't sleep with Jiang Qingyan. He lay on the bed, stroking Jiang Qingyan's back with one hand and playing with her hair with the other, feeling very comfortable.

Upon seeing Liang Cheng suddenly appear, he quickly pulled the blanket up to cover Jiang Qingyan's previously exposed fair shoulders.

Liang Cheng hadn't expected to witness such a scene, and his face flushed red. He said awkwardly, "I noticed you hadn't touched breakfast, so I brought in lunch..."

Lin Zhijie raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said politely, "Then thank you very much, Brother Liang Cheng. However, my husband has been taking care of me all morning and is really exhausted. She just fell asleep... so... we probably can't have lunch with Brother Liang Cheng..."
