Luo Yun smiled, and her gaze was just short of saying: Your body is more honest than your mouth!

Of course. She did not actually say this out loud because she was worried that he would feel embarrassed. She only said, “Let’s eat together. I’m going to cook some food anyway. I’ll just cook a bit more.”

Bai Qihan said, “Twenty is enough for me.”

Luo Yun hid the joy in her heart. Hehe, you still ended up agreeing in the end. She eagerly took out two packets of frozen dumplings and began to boil them in water.

Ten minutes later, she turned off the flame and placed the dumplings on two plates. She had already mixed the condiments while boiling the dumplings. She then placed everything on the table. She subconsciously pinched her ears, looking like a lively little rabbit.

Luo Yun took a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Bai Qihan. “Be careful. They’re still hot.” Seeing Bai Qihan pick up a dumpling and dip it in the sauce, she quickly asked, “How is it? Is it good?”

Actually, frozen dumplings were already prepped before they were frozen, so as long as they were not overcooked, there should be no problem with their taste. However, Bai Qihan still nodded.

Luo Yun did not care about the specifics. As long as Bai Qihan responded, she would be happy. With that, she happily ate the dumplings. However, when she took a big bite of one, the soup sprayed out, scalding her mouth. She stuck out her tongue and kept fanning it with her hand. “So hot…” Then, she saw a bottle of water on the table. She picked it up and took a big gulp. However, after drinking it, she realized something. She turned her head and looked at Bai Qihan. “Uhh… I accidentally drank your water…”

Bai Qihan said calmly, “As long as you don’t mind.”

“You’re my husband. Why would I mind?” Luo Yun smiled sweetly.

Bai Qihan did not know how to respond to this, so he simply did not say anything and continued eating.

Luo Yun put down the water, thinking of the fact that Bai Qihan had just drunk from it.

Did that count as an indirect kiss?

Her ears felt like they were heating up as she thought of that.

Forget it. I should stop thinking about such things right now. I should just eat my dumplings in peace.

If Bai Qihan were not here, she would probably even hold her stomach and burp out loud.

Luo Yun stood up and said, “Are you done eating? I’ll send you up first, and then I’ll clean up.”

“Leave this to the servants.” Bai Qihan glanced at her.

Luo Yun nodded. She remembered now. She was now the wife of the fourth master of the Bai family, a noble lady with servants serving her. She was no longer the Luo Yun who was immersed in the laboratory and operating theater and could only rely on frozen food to satisfy her hunger.

Luo Yun pushed Bai Qihan into the indoor elevator. When she opened the door to the side room, she could not help but sigh. It was indeed the standard of a boss. The room was only black, white, and gray. The decoration was simple but exquisite.

She was a little shy because this was her first time entering the room of someone of the opposite sex.

“Shall I help you into bed?” Luo Yun looked at him.

Before Bai Qihan could say anything, Luo Yun had already predicted what he would say. She then immediately spoke before he could say anything, “Don’t always reject me. You’re making me lose face.” Ever since she opened her eyes in this world, this man had rejected her countless times. She had to pester him before he would reluctantly agree to anything she said.

She had no experience in love, but when she interacted with her seniors in the laboratory, they never rejected her request. With that, she pushed the wheelchair to the bed. “You said that you have responsibilities and obligations to me as my legal husband. Similarly, as your legal wife, I also have responsibilities and obligations to you. So you don’t have to be so polite with me. If there’s anything you need me for, just tell me. Now, how do I help you lie on the bed?”

“Hold my arm.” Bai Qihan looked at her.

“Alright.” Luo Yunqing supported him.

Bai Qihan placed one of his hands on the side of the bed and pushed himself up from the wheelchair to the bed. Although his lower body was paralyzed, he did not forget to exercise his upper body, so he was still very strong. He had never been a good-for-nothing who just waited for death.

The dim lights of the room shone on his body. The black silk robe he was wearing reflected a flowing luster. His bangs hung on his forehead, and his face was handsome. When he lay on the bed, the cold and sharp aura that he flared out during the day had weakened by half. He became much more gentle and leisurely. He looked like someone who had come straight out of a comic book; he was really handsome.

For a moment, Luo Yun was stunned. It was only when Bai Qihan noticed her burning gaze that she came back to her senses. She hurriedly let go of his hand and retreated. However, she did not expect to accidentally trip over his wheelchair. Her body was unsteady, and she fell forward. She subconsciously reached out to support herself, but she ended up right between his legs.

In reality, some coincidences really seemed like they had been planned beforehand.
