Chapter 163: Chapter 163

Li Tianyao had to admit that the little girl’s guess made a lot of sense.

But he couldn’t admit it.

If he let the little girl know that they couldn’t do *that*, wouldn’t she take the opportunity to run off gleefully?

"Li Tianyao, I need to collect some samples!" An Yan said, her brow furrowed.

She wanted to test the levels of various enzymes in their bodies to see if their union would produce any strange substances.

Li Tianyao didn’t respond.

Sensing his reluctance, An Yan said, "Since he’s made such a move, it’s highly possible something strange will happen if we get together. And that would surely be detrimental to us! Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we be truly prepared! What do you say?"

"Where is the ring?" Li Tianyao didn’t want to continue this topic with her.

Since Gu Shifang had made this move, it showed that he probably didn’t want to resort to death, his final card, for now.

An Yan subconsciously touched her neck. Not finding the ring there, she remembered putting it in her pocket. She had then taken it out and left it in the bathroom when she showered.

"Go get it! You’re staying here tonight!"

An Yan was reluctant.

If her guess was correct, and they lived together, the consequences if *that* were to happen would be unimaginable.

"I’m not staying; we can’t fall for Gu Shifang’s trap! Let me take a sample. I need to take it back for testing. Only through testing can we find out what he did to our bodies!"

"Gu Shifang’s target tonight isn’t me, but the ring!" Li Tianyao said. "Little girl, Gu Shifang’s Bell was for you. He didn’t know you’d show it to me. So, what do you think his motive was?"

"For the ring? But the medicine is clearly..." An Yan was too embarrassed to continue.

The man shook his head. "The most important effect of this medicine is that it will make you lose your senses. As for what you might do after losing your senses, he probably doesn’t even know himself."

"After all, he just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to steal the ring!"

An Yan was shocked. "You... you mean only I was drugged?"

Li Tianyao nodded calmly, his voice low and magnetic. "Yes! In fact, I didn’t expect that after you lost your senses, you would... So, little girl, what exactly were you thinking then?"

Only she was drugged?

An Yan guiltily glanced at Li Tianyao’s neck. If she remembered correctly, she seemed to have, perhaps...

Fortunately, Li Tianyao’s recovery ability was strong, and the marks on his neck had already faded.

She raised her hand to touch her own neck and suddenly realized something. "You took advantage of my vulnerability! He wasn’t drugged, yet he bit me! If that’s not taking advantage of my vulnerability, what is?"

"No!" the man denied, pinching her earlobe with a smile in his eyes. "I was just helping you to avoid hurting yourself!"

"I’ve said that without your agreement, I wouldn’t force myself upon you. I guess at that time, you must have known that I wouldn’t force myself on you, so you dared to be so provocative, right?"

An Yan’s face flushed deeply red!

She hadn’t! At that time, she was completely out of her senses; she didn’t know what she was doing! At this moment, her hatred for Gu Shifang escalated another level! She didn’t dare to imagine what would have happened if, by some twist of fate, she hadn’t opened the Bell with Li Tianyao. Then she... Would any man have...

An Yan was so angry her temples throbbed!

She wished she could drag Gu Shifang out right then and tear him limb from limb!

Li Tianyao’s expression turned serious. "Perhaps his people are already nearby! I’m telling you to stay here because the security here is far stronger than at the An Family’s."

"Moreover, Gu Shifang is full of tricks, skilled in disguise and sorcery—it seems he knows a bit of everything!"

"So, are you sure the An Family’s bodyguards can withstand his attack?"

They definitely couldn’t!

"Little girl, the ring is on you! Going back to the An Family is like bringing danger to them!"

An Yan was speechless.

"Of course, if you don’t care, I have no objections! It’s up to you!!"

An Yan thought for a while, then nodded. "Then I might as well bring the ring over."

She’d just consider it hiring a bodyguard for herself!

"Alright! Let’s go, I’ll accompany you to get it!" Thɪs chapter is updated by Nov3lFɪre.ɴet

The two of them crossed over the wall and climbed onto the balcony of An Yan’s room.

The An Family had two kitchens. One was inside the main building, responsible for preparing food that produced less smoke and odor. The other was outside, where food with strong odors was cooked. For example, boiling seafood.

After seeing his sister bring back a lot of seafood, An Yaoluo instructed the kitchen to start cooking.

Thinking his sister had spent years in the mountains and rarely got to eat such delicacies, he even supervised the cooking until it was done. He then dished it into a bowl and personally carried it, intending to take it to her. This would be a good opportunity to chat with his sister and ask about her future plans. Bai Zhi’s behavior on the show had really irritated him! He also needed to discuss with his sister the upcoming plans to deal with her.

However, just when An Yaoluo was about to enter the main building with a large plate of seafood, he saw a figure leaping onto his sister’s balcony.

His expression darkened slightly.

His sister used to frequently scale the wall to find Li Tianyao, and now she was at it again. They had just separated at the restaurant; was this really necessary? If this were the past, he would have definitely wanted to talk to An Yan, tell her to have some self-respect. What kind of behavior was it for a girl to chase after a man! But now, as soon as this thought arose, he immediately re-evaluated. Yanyan probably didn’t go there on her own initiative; it must have been that rascal Li Tianyao’s doing again. Maybe it was Li Tianyao’s sister—what was her name again?—who stirred up trouble, forcing Yanyan to rush over in the middle of the night to handle it!

With this thought, An Yaoluo quickened his steps.

If Li Tianyao dared to let Yanyan be wronged, he would personally deal with that Li Qingqing.

An Yan remembered very clearly: she had put the ring in the storage cabinet while bathing, but when she opened it, it was nowhere to be seen.

At that moment, her mind buzzed. "Lost?"

No, that can’t be right. According to her divination, Qin Song was still on the train; there was no way he could be here. Even if he sent his subordinates, they wouldn’t be able to enter her room and take the ring so easily without alerting Wen Ya and Wen Ge, right?

An Yan quickly calmed down, lowered her gaze to the tree in her mind, and then used the leaves to connect with the ring.

Only then did she discover that the ring had rolled under the bathtub!

She bent down and stretched out her hand, trying to retrieve it.

But her arm was too short!

"Li Tianyao!" An Yan raised her voice. "Come here and help me!"

Li Tianyao, who was waiting outside the bathroom, heard her voice and pushed the door open, entering.

He saw the little girl kneeling in front of the bathtub, looking dejected. "I can’t reach it; it rolled underneath."

Li Tianyao bent down, following her gaze.

The ring lay near the wall, more than a meter away from the edge. Never mind An Yan’s short arms; even his weren’t long enough to reach that far.

Li Tianyao reached out and touched the edge of the bathtub, preparing to lift it.

Just as he was about to apply force, he heard a BANG. behind him.

"Li Tianyao, you bastard!"
