Liu Nian Can Speak

Jianghai City First People's Hospital.

A scream echoed from the luxury private ward.

"Ah--!"

Lin Ao woke up with a start, his back drenched in cold sweat.

He had just had a dream where a golden ball grew a hand and slapped him across the face.

He felt like he had moved too quickly upon waking and bumped into something soft that carried a pleasant fragrance.

He looked up.

"A ball? Two of them? That's not right, I remember it being one... and it seemed to be golden. Why are these so white and tender?"

Lin Ao even reached out and gave them a squeeze.

"Mm~ Lin Ao, what are you doing!!"

Lin Ao finally snapped back to reality. He looked up to see Gu Wanqing, her face flushed red, looking at him with alluring, watery eyes.

He shuddered and quickly pulled his hands away.

Gu Wanqing shot Lin Ao a glare. It was all because the hospital gown was too small; after being bumped by Lin Ao, all the buttons had popped off.

She hurriedly tried to fasten the buttons on her chest, but several had already been lost.

She wasn't wearing anything underneath.

Lin Ao stood to the side, looking incredibly awkward.

[Character Current Status/Thoughts: Excited. The texture was so soft just now, but this is so awkward!]

[Character Favorability: 90.]

[Character Heart Rate: 150.]

[H-Index: 95.]

"Lin Ao~ It's so good that you're okay! You scared me to death."

After adjusting her clothes, Gu Wanqing lunged forward and pulled Lin Ao into her embrace.

She had been injured herself, but after being checked out and cleared, she had stayed in the ward to take care of Lin Ao.

The sight of Lin Ao vomiting blood had left her truly shaken; she thought she was going to lose him all over again.

"Let... let me go!"

Lin Ao struggled to lift his head, gasping for fresh air. He had just woken up and was nearly suffocated again.

"Why am I here? Where is Xiao Fan? Wasn't I being pinned to the ground and beaten by him?"

Lin Ao couldn't remember what happened afterward at all.

He only remembered that after he threw a punch at Xiao Fan, he was pinned to the ground and pummeled; he had thought he was done for.

"You don't remember? Afterward, you were the one pinning him to the ground and beating him."

Gu Wanqing touched Lin Ao's forehead to see if there were any injuries that hadn't been checked, wondering if he had developed amnesia.

"I pinned Xiao Fan to the ground and beat him? Hiss--!"

Thinking about it made his head ache; he couldn't recall a thing.

"Lin Ao, what's wrong? Are you okay? If you can't remember, then forget it. You're safe now."

Seeing him like this, Gu Wanqing really thought he had injured his brain.

"I'm going to notify Aunt Li and the others, and I'll go change my clothes while I'm at it, you little rascal~"

Gu Wanqing gave Lin Ao a charming, sidelong glance, clutched the front of her clothes, and hurried out.

"Hiss--!"

Dead memories came rushing back to assault Lin Ao.

He remembered the two passionate kisses on the Ferris wheel; the second one was definitely performed right in front of Xiao Fan.

It was both shameful and thrilling.

I knew it, these women are untouchable—the moment you touch them, trouble follows!

Otherwise, Xiao Fan wouldn't have come knocking on my door so quickly!

The more Lin Ao thought about it, the more wrong it felt!

No, no, no! The plan to keep my distance must continue. This time, I was just lucky to survive.

But what about next time? Can I still hold my own when Xiao, Lin, Ye, and Chu all show up together?

What exactly does this Gu Wanqing see in him?

Why is she so insistent on clinging to him this time?

Thinking of this, he felt a bit helpless. This Gu Wanqing really knows how to play the game; sometimes, he just can't resist.

Ever since she met him, her former cold and aloof demeanor had ceased to exist.

I'm terrified that one day I'll lose my virtue to her; if that happens, it'll truly be a disaster.

Soon, Lin Dong and Li Wanyu walked in.

At the same time, Liu Nian and a woman he was familiar with appeared before his eyes.

She was dressed in a professional pencil skirt and sexy black stockings, her figure elegant and graceful.

Her long hair was styled into an elegant bun, making her look mature yet charming and alluring.

Lin Ao's eyes widened in disbelief.

Liu Menghan????

She was the woman he had flirted with the most aggressively and hurt the deepest back when he was playing the villain.

He felt terrible about it too, but he hadn't been in control of himself. He remembered one timeline where he had used his free time to sneak in and apologize while she was asleep.

How did he run into her so soon?

"Uncle Lin Ao!"

Seeing that Lin Ao had regained consciousness, Liu Nian pounced on him, her voice melodious.

Lin Ao looked at Liu Nian in his arms, surprised. "You can talk now?"

Liu Nian looked up, her eyes blinking. "Yes, I can talk now!"

At this moment, Lin Dong and Li Wanyu also walked over.

"Son! Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? You scared your mother to death!"

Li Wanyu touched Lin Ao's face with a pained expression. This incident had terrified her; she never expected someone like a Grandmaster to target Lin Ao.

Uncle Zhang and the others had given chase, but the enemy had actually brought two more Grandmasters to provide backup.

In the end, the culprit had managed to escape.

If they had arrived even a step later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Son, don't worry. I called your grandfather! He has already sent people to investigate!"

The mysterious number Li Wanyu had dialed was the internal hotline for the Li Family, one of the four great families in Capital City.

Lin Ao remembered now: in a few years, his grandfather would be assassinated with slow-acting poison, and then the Li Family would be swallowed up by the Ye Family, who would then become the number one family in Capital City in one fell swoop.

And that family was the one behind Ye Chen and Yama Hall.

In the previous timeline, the Li Family in Capital City should have belonged exclusively to Ye Chen's storyline. Now that he had dragged them into Xiao Fan's side, wouldn't this cause the Li Family to meet their demise even faster?

Hiss—! That was certainly a possibility.

Which person who opposed the protagonist ever had a good ending?

"Mom! Just tell Grandfather to stop for now. I know who that person is. I want to handle this matter myself, okay?"

No, he had to stop this. At the very least, he needed to let Lin Ao prepare for how to deal with the aftermath first.

He couldn't let things spiral further off course.

"Can you really do it?"

Li Wanyu looked at Lin Ao with concern.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely tell you if I need help."

Lin Ao continued to reassure Li Wanyu.

"Alright, just do as the child says. If he feels he needs help, he'll ask for it himself. He's an adult now; it's time for him to learn how to face certain things."

Lin Dong gave Li Wanyu a look, signaling her to go along with Lin Ao's wishes—as for whether they would actually stay out of it, that was their own business.

Daring to harm the only heir of the Lin Family—that kind of fury wasn't easily quelled. It wasn't just the Li Family; the old man of the Lin Family had also exploded with rage upon hearing the news.

He was still furious back at the family estate, having already given Lin Dong a stern dressing-down, warning him that if anything happened to his grandson, he'd be waiting with a cane to beat him black and blue!

"Excuse me~ Sorry to interrupt. I have some words for Mr. Lin."

A soft female voice rang out, and Liu Menghan walked over.

She looked at Lin Ao earnestly and bowed slightly.

Set off by her professional attire, her beautiful figure was fully revealed~

Lin Ao's heart skipped a beat. Please don't let there be any more trouble, right?
