Wan Qingyun Was Working Hard!

Wan Family residence, study.

Wan Qingyun was currently handling document after document, all of them in Braille. Black Palace had its own forces, though they were not particularly numerous.

Yet, due to the lack of a leader over the years, they had only barely managed to break even.

Some businesses were even operating at a loss.

Now that she had taken control of them, she naturally would not stand by and watch them head toward destruction.

Besides that, some of the Jiang Family's businesses required her management.

They were vital resources for rebuilding her power.

But... it was bound to be exhausting.

About an hour later, Wan Qingyun wearily set down the documents, her body involuntarily leaning backward.

However, the wheelchair was not all that comfortable.

Just as Wan Qingyun was resting, a knock suddenly sounded at the study door.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Xiao Xiao? Come in. Did you forget something again?" Wan Qingyun did not pay much attention to it, assuming Wan Xiaoxiao had left something behind on her way to school.

Unexpectedly, the person outside the study was Jiang Junyi!

Hearing Wan Qingyun mistake him for Wan Xiaoxiao, Jiang Junyi chuckled.

He pushed open the door without making a sound.

Then he tiptoed toward Wan Qingyun.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Wan Qingyun asked curiously.

Jiang Junyi leaned close to Wan Qingyun's cheek and deliberately spoke in a low, breathy voice. "It's me, baby~"

Ding~ Face-to-face contact with the Pure Love target. Pure Love Points +10!

"Who?!"

Hearing a man's voice, Wan Qingyun abruptly dodged to the side, but quickly realized that the visitor was Jiang Junyi.

"Jiang Jun... Ah!"

Her movement had been too forceful. The wheelchair failed to support her body in time and suddenly tipped over.

Seeing this, Jiang Junyi lunged forward and used himself as a cushion, holding Wan Qingyun tightly in his arms.

Of course, with his strength, he could have stabilized the wheelchair completely.

But if he steadied the wheelchair, how would he get to cuddle Qingyun?

"Thud."

A heavy object hit the floor, but Wan Qingyun did not feel the pain she had expected from the fall.

Instead, she found herself against a broad, warm chest.

"Qingyun, are you okay?" Jiang Junyi asked, his voice tinged with concern.

"Jiang Junyi?"

Wan Qingyun instinctively reached out to feel around, only to touch something hard and firm.

Ding~ The Pure Love target touched the host's chest muscles! Pure Love Points +20!

"Ahem, Qingyun, baby, if you want to feel my chest muscles, you can wait until we get up," Jiang Junyi said, suppressing a laugh.

"You!"

Wan Qingyun hurriedly pushed herself upright, a rosy flush already creeping up her pale neck.

That fair skin tinged with red, delicate and alluring, made Jiang Junyi's heart race.

So... so cute!!

"Help me up already!" Wan Qingyun said in a fluster.

"Don't rush. Are you hurt anywhere?" Jiang Junyi asked with concern, while his large hands squeezed Wan Qingyun's lotus-root-like arms.

"Did you bump into anything?"

Ding~ Touching the Pure Love target~ Pure Love Points continuously +1!

"N-No... Help me up already..." Wan Qingyun felt herself growing hot.

With her soft body in his arms, Jiang Junyi honestly did not want to get up at all.

But seeing Wan Qingyun's flustered expression, he eventually softened.

"Don't rush, don't rush. I'll help you up right away," he said gently.

Using the strength of a Martial Artist, Jiang Junyi lifted Wan Qingyun into a bridal carry.

As he passed the wheelchair lying on the floor, Jiang Junyi paused to think, then kicked it apart.

Only then did he walk over in satisfaction, sit down in a chair, and place Wan Qingyun on his lap!

Ding! Putting the Pure Love target on your lap is simply too full of pure love! Pure Love Points +66!

"Y-You should put me back in the wheelchair..." Sensing Jiang Junyi's intimate gesture, Wan Qingyun's voice grew quieter and quieter.

Jiang Junyi glanced at the broken wheelchair and pretended to regretfully sigh. "Ah... the wheelchair broke when it fell."

"Huh?" Wan Qingyun could not understand how the wheelchair could have broken from a simple fall.

And in her extreme embarrassment, she had not heard Jiang Junyi's little trick.

"Then... I'll sit in the chair!" Wan Qingyun felt that whenever she touched Jiang Junyi, her temperature kept rising and her heart pounded wildly.

"No. The chair is cold. I'll warm it up for you," Jiang Junyi said, shaking his head.

???

Listen to that. Was that even something a human being would say?

By now, how could Wan Qingyun not know that Jiang Junyi was doing this on purpose?

"Bastard! Get up!" Embarrassed and annoyed, she lightly pinched Jiang Junyi's neck and gave it a small shake.

Ding~ The Pure Love target touched the host. A fresh new way to play. Pure Love Points continuously +2!

"Ahhh... My wife is murdering her husband..." Jiang Junyi cried out, pretending to suffocate.

"H-husband?!" Wan Qingyun froze, then tightened her grip a little. "Jiang Junyi!"

Jiang Junyi chuckled, stood up, and placed Wan Qingyun on the chair.

Only after feeling the chair beneath her did she let out a breath of relief.

But before she could fully relax, Wan Qingyun felt a pair of warm hands cup her cheeks.

Jiang Junyi's unique scent washed over her.

His forehead rested against hers.

Wan Qingyun wanted to struggle, but then she heard his gentle voice, laced with a trace of heartache.

"Handling all those documents... was it tiring?"

She fell silent for a moment and stopped struggling.

The warmth against her forehead, the gentle palms at her cheeks, and his heartfelt concern made Wan Qingyun feel incomparably safe.

Her embarrassment and annoyance gradually faded away.

For a moment, the scene seemed frozen.

The two of them quietly felt each other's breaths from so close by.

Wan Qingyun was deeply attached to the comfort of this moment. There was no burden of survival, no thoughts of revenge.

There was only peaceful, tranquil companionship.

This man Jiang Junyi sometimes made her so embarrassed and angry, yet at other times, he gave her an unparalleled sense of security.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Have you fallen head over heels for your wonderful husband?" Jiang Junyi blinked.

What... what kind of nonsense was that?!

Wan Qingyun broke free from Jiang Junyi's hands, lightly biting her teeth together. "B-Bastard! Don't call yourself something so disgustingly mushy again!"

This rotten man! It would be better if he kept that mouth shut!

Jiang Junyi rubbed his chin. "Really? I like it."

"Get lost!"

Ding~ That pure love scene just now was far too warm, so this system could not bear to interrupt~

The host and the Pure Love target pressed their foreheads together, hands cupping cheeks~ Pure Love Points +50!

Jiang Junyi smiled. "I brought you a gift. Do you want it?"

"No!" Wan Qingyun turned her head away.

"Ah... but I prepared it so carefully... I ran all over the place for this all night, had someone work overtime through the night, and didn't even close my eyes..."

"All so I could give it to you today..."

Jiang Junyi's tone was filled with regret and desolation. He truly was worthy of an Oscar for Best Actor.

Hearing that tone, Wan Qingyun felt terribly conflicted.

It was as if there were a little angel Wan Qingyun on one side of her head and a little devil Wan Qingyun on the other.

Little Devil: Don't accept it! That bastard will definitely take advantage and push his luck!

Little Angel: Accept it. He doesn't mean any harm, and if you refuse, all his thoughtfulness will go to waste.

Little Devil: Shut up! This is a man's trap!

Little Angel: You shut up! You're married anyway, so what does it matter?

Ah!

Wan Qingyun scattered the angel and devil from her mind, then sighed softly. "Then... I'll try it..."
