Chapter 189: Who’s Protecting Whom
“Be mindful of your identity!” Li Nanchen shouted at Bi Fang in jealousy. His expression darkened as he stood between Wu Mei and Bi Fang.
Bi Fang stood on his tiptoes and bounced twice on the spot. He tried to slide past Li Nanchen’s tall figure to communicate with Wu Mei, but to no avail.
Wu Mei chuckled at their childish behavior.
Li Nanchen turned to look at her in surprise. His brows furrowed in displeasure and he looked at Bi Fang warily as he said, “Since you haven’t fully recovered, quickly go back to your room and lie down. If you want to eat anything, get the butler and maids to send it in for you. Don’t come out if there’s nothing important!”
Bi Fang blinked. Not only was he not angry, he even puffed up his chest and assumed the posture of a Senior Brother as he said, “Wu Mei performed the operation on me. There’s no problem with my body now! Li Nanchen, although we’re friends…”
He stopped talking. Recalling Wu Mei’s reminder that M asked her to hide her identity, he said, “Wu Mei is my savior.”
“I’ll protect her in the future!”
“You can’t bully her, or else I’ll fall out with you!”
Bi Fang raised his chin and said with certainty in his eyes, “Wu Mei’s problem is my problem. Don’t be afraid. Let me know if you encounter any danger.” He tilted his head and winked at Wu Mei as he gently said this.
Li Nanchen’s expression darkened. He raised his hand to push Bi Fang’s head away and coldly refused, “I don’t need you to protect what’s mine.”
“Take care of yourself more if you have time. Don’t wait for someone to assassinate you and launch a sneak attack on you before you end up bedridden again.”
Li Nanchen raised his brows lightly, indicating for Bi Fang to hurry back.
Bi Fang could not win against Li Nanchen, so he could only turn around and leave resentfully as he walked off. His figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Wu Mei raised her hand to poke Li Nanchen’s back and she teased him, “What’s wrong? Are you jealous of Bi Fang? He’s your friend…”
Before she finished speaking, Li Nanchen pressed the back of Wu Mei’s head against the cold wall. He pressed her hands against the wall and leaned over to kiss her red lips in a punishing manner. Gently biting her lips, he traced the outline of her red lips with the tip of his tongue. His eyes flickered with unease.
“No one is allowed,” Li Nanchen said softly in a domineering manner. Wu Mei resignedly broke free from his hold and wrapped her arms around his neck as she chided, “Idiot.”
The two of them were entangled in each other’s bodies and did not notice Mother Wu coming out of the room next door. She quietly walked to Wu Mei’s side and looked at them with clear and pure eyes for a long time. Then, she suddenly said, “Why did you bite Mei’er?”
“Mei’er will be in pain! Her mouth is swollen!” Mother Wu asked curiously like a child. Li Nanchen and Wu Mei immediately let go of each other awkwardly and tidied up their messy clothes and hair.
Li Nanchen forced a smile and explained, “I… I was playing a game with Wu Mei, the kind that only we can play…”
When Mother Wu heard that there was a game, she quickly ran to Wu Mei and tugged on her sleeves. She said aggrievedly, “I want to play too! Mei’er, play with me!”
Seeing this, Wu Mei could only leave Li Nanchen behind. She coaxed Mother Wu back to the room and helped her tidy up the toys and reading materials that were scattered on the ground. She then accompanied Mother Wu to pick up a few chinese chess pieces and patiently taught her how to read. She slowly nurtured and guided Mother Wu to calm down.
Li Nanchen stood at the door. When he saw Wu Mei gently waving him away, he felt a little angry.
In Wu Mei’s choice, why is he always the one falling out of favor?!
