Chapter 18

Luo Yun was embarrassed. She wanted to retract her arms, but her position left her rather unstable, so she could only prop herself up by pushing on his thighs.

Bai Qihan’s eyes locked onto her, his gaze deep and probing. Sometimes she’s smart and powerful, sometimes she’s innocent and naive, and sometimes she’s a little stupid. It seemed as if she had carried out a well-thought-out scheme, but her eyes were filled with innocence.

She did not seem to have any ulterior motives to her sudden change in attitude toward him.

Luo Yun’s face turned red from his deep gaze. She felt as if she was about to burn up. But this time, she really had not done it on purpose. Fortunately, she did not press on any important parts. There were some parts of his body that might no longer work due to his paralysis. If she had accidentally pressed on those parts… That would simply be too sinful.

“Good night. I’m going back to sleep.” Luo Yun hurriedly ran away because she really could not stand Bai Qihan’s probing gaze any longer.

Bai Qihan watched Luo Yun’s back as she left the room, then he sat up again. He took out the book on brain research and continued to study it.

Luo Yun returned to her room and plopped onto the bed. Thinking of the scene just now, she could not help but cover her face in embarrassment. She had no actual experience when it came to those things, and now she had to face a cold and aloof man like Bai Qihan. It seemed that no means were useful. Then, was her dream of hugging a handsome man going to be shattered?

She buried her head in the blanket, her thoughts in a mess. She could not quite remember the main storyline of the original book, and the story had really only started two years later. Moreover, there were not that many mentions of Bai Qihan in the story. However, one thing was certain. At the end of the story, Bai Qihan was still in a wheelchair and disabled.

Luo Yun felt a little melancholic. She suddenly missed her old master, Li Shi. She wondered how that bad-tempered old man was doing now. Because he was always busy operating on patients, he always failed to keep track of time and forgot to eat. As time passed, his stomach problems became quite serious. Without her around, no one would be there to remind him to eat.

Also, had her senior sister returned from her trip? Senior Sister Li Zhenzhen was her master’s biological daughter, but because she had no interest in medicine, she often went on trips around the world. She often disappeared and could not be contacted for long periods of time.

She was an orphan. Because the principal of the orphanage she was in had the surname Luo, all the children in the orphanage received the surname Luo. The principal said that on the day she was picked up, there were no clouds in the sky, so she was named Luo Yun. She was only adopted by her master when she matured and began to study medicine. Her master, senior sisters, and senior brothers were all very good to her. Her senior sister treated her like her own sister. Every time she went out to play, she would bring all kinds of fun and delicious food back for her. Compared to the sisters that the Luo Yun of this world had in the Luo family, her senior sister was like an angel. With the beautiful memories of the past, Luo Yun fell into a deep sleep.

Bai Qihan woke up very early. With the help of the butler, he finished washing up at five o’clock. The butler had been taking care of him for more than twenty years after his parents passed away in an accident.

“Young master, did you not rest well last night?” The butler could tell that he did not look well this morning. “Why don’t you rest for a while longer?”

Bai Qihan had read until three o’clock last night. Having finished washing up by five meant that he had slept for less than two hours. However, he always woke up at five o’clock, exercised, had breakfast, and arranged work. He had a strong sense of time, and he did not let anything ruin his plans. “There’s no need. We cannot delay the arrangements later.”

“Alright.” The butler did not say anything else.

Bai Qihan would have his breakfast at 5:15 am. Then, the butler would bring him around the villa before he went to the gym to exercise. After that, he started to deal with the documents and held a video conference at nine o’clock. He would check the progress of projects, finding and solving problems in time. He had lived like this for many years, and it was especially so in the past two years. He had more and more work on hand, and the projects he completed became increasingly impactful. He was an outstanding talent in his generation of the Bai family, and the Bai family’s old master valued him more and more.

When Bai Qihan got back from his exercise, Luo Yun had just woken up.

The two of them met in the dining area.

Luo Yun first greeted him with a smile, “Good morning, hubby.”

“Morning.”

“Are you going to the office today?”

“In the afternoon.”

“I have something I need your help with…” Luo Yun took a deep breath and was a little embarrassed. “It’s mainly because I’m not very familiar with something.”

“Is it urgent?”

“No, no, no.”

Bai Qihan’s gaze fell on the dining table. “Then let’s have breakfast first. We’ll go to the study later.”

It had to be said that Bai Qihan’s aura was really quite overbearing when he spoke. Even when he restrained himself, the strength in his bones still managed to seep out and give out an intimidating aura.
