Around 12 at night, Leng Ning leaned against the side of the bed and dozed off. She suddenly woke up to meet Huo Quan's face, and was so shocked that she stood up and took a few steps back.

The light in Huo Quan's eyes dimmed as he tilted his head towards the inner side of the bed and said coldly, "Who allowed you to come here?"

"I'm coming myself. I said I'd take care of your wounds." Leng Qing moved the chair a few steps away from the edge of the bed and sat down again.

"Ha!" His voice was somewhat mocking.

Leng Qing did not mind, "What are you doing coming to the Leng Clan to find me today?"

"Marry you." Huo Quan's answer was concise and fast.

As for Leng Qing's words, they were stuck in his throat.

"You know that I'm Teacher Zhang's student."

"Got it." Huo Quan had his back facing her the entire time, causing her to be unable to see his expression.

"So, you sought me out just to have me treat your wounds. Why lie?" Leng Qing stood up, slightly agitated.

"You can refuse it, but I can't not marry her." Huo Quan's voice was low and firm.

The air suddenly quieted down, the coldness causing his heart to thump loudly. "Why?"

"You were the first to say you liked me." He turned to look at her, his eyes bright as a spring.

"But I don't genuinely like you …"

"I sincerely accept your confession. That's enough."

"It's your problem that you accept it, it's my problem that I don't like it!"

"You're mine, that's our business." The corners of Huo Quan's mouth twitched as he seemed to have a trace of a smile on his face.

Leng Qing was angered by his smile. "Alright, I agree to treat your injuries. You don't have to use such a crappy excuse to imprison me."

"I already said that you can't be cured. Anyway, the one facing him all day is you." Huo Quan propped himself up and leaned against the headboard as he looked at her in a calm and composed manner.

"You think you can trap me?" The coldness in his eyes deepened.

"Hmm, from now on, if I don't see you, you can only report to Yama."

"You want to kill me?"

"You can try." Huo Quan withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes as if he was slightly exhausted.

Leng Qing gritted her teeth as she glanced at him, purposely jumping out of the window. The two bullets that just landed on the ground brushed past her ear.

She looked down and saw a red dot aimed at her heart. Her back felt cold and she quickly returned to the room.

Huo Quan slightly pursed his lips when he saw her still in a state of shock.

"If I wanted to imprison him, I would have said so earlier. Why do you need to talk so much nonsense?"

"Heh." He snorted and stopped talking.

Perhaps it was because his body was weak, but Huo Quan's injuries hadn't healed in a month. On the other hand, Leng Ning's detoxification was effective, and his festering skin actually gradually improved.

During this month, Leng Ning had not spoken a single word to him.

At the beginning, he didn't see how Huo Quan was, but after he was intentionally ignored every single time, his expression finally became gloomy.

Even the air in the house was tight.

The servants were all walking on thin ice, and their gazes towards Leng Ning were all filled with pleading.

When Tian Leng Qing changed Huo Quan's medicine, his brows and eyes carried a sense of coldness. He asked stiffly, "How long will it take for the scar on your face to disappear?"

Leng Qing didn't answer, but showed him the recovery plan that he had drawn up. It said: "If you recover quickly, then three months; if you are slow, then half a year."

"Is there any way to speed up?"

Leng Qing shook his head.

Huo Quan suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace, allowing her to sit on his thigh. He coldly felt her male characteristics and angrily said, "What are you doing?"

He bent his lips slightly and kissed her. His face, though no longer festering, was covered in black scabs. His skin flapped in the air.

Huo Quan, on the other hand, grabbed her hand and slid the tip of his tongue into her mouth.

His kiss was raw and impetuous, and he took a cold bite of his lower lip. The taste of blood filled his mouth, but he did not stop.

Instead, she became even more excited by her struggles.

"Remember, every time I speak to you and you ignore me, I will treat it as a kiss."

"Shameless!" Leng Qing stood up and wiped his lips before spitting on the ground.

Huo Quan glanced at her coldly. "If you don't want this face to appear on your marriage certificate, hurry up and finish it. We'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau next Monday."

"I said I won't marry you!"

"It's not up to you." Huo Quan tidied up his messy clothes, and his fingers danced on the keyboard as he started to work as if nothing had happened.

Leng Qing was extremely depressed. Huo Quan gave her two choices: to get married or to die.

She didn't want to go either way, but in the past month, she had escaped ten times and had not been able to do so. Instead, she had caused herself to be covered in injuries.

It was true that he doted on her; it was also true that he could kill her.

"Why are you unwilling to marry Second Master?" Wei Ping went out today. He was dressed in a well-cut suit and he sat down next to Leng Ning like a dog.

Leng Qing rolled her eyes at him, "Why would I want to marry him?"

"How great it is to marry Second Master. In the future, if you want wind and rain in a lonely city, you want rain and shine. You can even walk horizontally!"

"I'm not a crab." It was eerily silent.

"You didn't like Second Master because of his looks, right?" Wei Ping's smile turned bitter: "Didn't you say you could cure his face? You'll know when it's cured. Our second master is handsome. "

"Do I look like such a shallow person?" Leng Qing was upset. She pinched a small flower off the side of the road and kneaded it into an ugly paste.

Wei Ping raised his eyebrows. His expression seemed to be asking, Isn't it?

Leng Qing rolled his eyes at him again.

"Do you know what I went out for today?" Wei Ping suddenly stood up and asked.

Leng Qing was not interested and did not reply.

He continued, "I went to deliver gifts for Second Master to the Qin family's young master. Today is the wedding day between him and Miss Ruan. I'm guessing that the marriage is already over."

The paste in Leng Qing's hand was squeezed out by her.

"He asked me to bring you and Second Master some candy. He also asked me when you and Second Master are getting married, and said that you are here to get a goblet of wedding wine."

Leng Qing took the box of sweets, peeled one and put it in her mouth. The chocolate was so greasy that it was bitter.

"Second Master has just returned to the country and has already given him a big gift. This time, he didn't have the time to return the wedding. There will still be a lot of time in the future, but he will still attend the wedding, won't he?" Wei Ping looked at her with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.

Leng Qing stood up and threw away the paste in her hand. "What do you mean?"

"Young Madam is extremely intelligent, how could she not understand what I'm saying?" Judging from her reaction, it was likely that Wei Ping was unaware of Qin Zheng's conspiracy. He heaved a sigh of relief.

Leng Qing's heart skipped a beat. Was the explosion on the day of Leng Fei's coming of age related to Qin Zheng?

Now that Huo Quan knew about this, he definitely wouldn't let him off, and Qin Zheng's strength was far from enough to contend against him.

Wei Ping was using Qin Zheng to make a deal with her and force her to marry Huo Quan.

What a loyal bodyguard!

"Young Madam, don't hate me. Why do you think Second Master would personally go to meet with me that day?"

"Are you saying that you did it for me?" Leng Qing felt angry, but also found it laughable.

How could she be willing to risk the life of a devil just for her?

She had heard enough of the deep feelings that were imposed on her!

"It's up to you whether you want to believe it or not. If it wasn't for Second Elder personally going that day, you really would have died in the sea of fire."

"Qin Zheng has no reason to kill me!"

"No? "After all the things that the young madam has done for him in the past few years, how can he sit back and enjoy it?" Wei Ping laughed mockingly.

Leng Qing felt his entire body go cold, but continued, "Previously, the young mistress had suffered a lot in the wind and the rain, and she also offended a lot of people. Think about it carefully, in the entire city, who else could protect you other than Second Master? Do you think Second Master has so many people to watch over you? "
