Chapter 268: Chapter 268

Li Tianyao said, "You’ve got back pain! And you’re easily tired!"

An Yan was speechless.

Whose fault was her back pain?

The man had washed up early and lain down in bed. Seeing An Yan come out, he considerately lifted the quilt. "It’s warmed up."

An Yan instinctively touched her lower back. She considered the possibility of resting in another room.

A trace of speechlessness crossed the man’s face.

An Yan didn’t want to provoke him over such a matter and obediently snuggled into the covers. She had thought he would take advantage of the situation, but surprisingly, he just pulled the quilt up for her and kissed her gently on the lips. "Sleep! I’ll let you rest all night tonight."

An Yan looked at him, surprised.

"What, in your eyes, am I the kind of person who doesn’t care whether you live or die?"

An Yan quickly shook her head. "Of course not! You’re the best."

She just hadn’t expected that he, who had only recently indulged, would be willing to suppress his own nature for her sake. A wave of sweetness surged in her heart again!

「Five in the morning.」

An Yan was sleeping drowsily when she suddenly felt Bai Wu stir in her mind, and she immediately focused her attention. Her Clairvoyance Technique revealed eight new leaves on that branch. Added to the previous five, An Yan now had thirteen leaves, which meant she could use her Clairvoyance Technique for thirteen minutes a day.

Without hesitation, An Yan turned around, planning to give Li Tianyao a full-body scan quietly.

Bathed in the dim light of the bedside lamp, An Yan was once again stunned by Li Tianyao’s beauty. If she hadn’t known about the abuse he had suffered, she would have thought he was personally sculpted by Goddess Nüwa.

But now was not the time to think about this. An Yan reached out and gently lifted the quilt from his body. The man’s muscular and perfect physique was fully exposed.

An Yan, a doctor, was definitely not unfamiliar with men’s bodies. So, with just one glance, she could tell that the man before her had the most perfect physique. Then she thought that this man with such a perfect body was her own husband. She couldn’t help but smile!

But now was the time for serious business. An Yan blushed, quickly suppressing the desire to keep admiring him. She activated her Clairvoyance Technique and observed him carefully, inch by inch. Official source ıs novel✦fire.net

Li Tianyao, who had woken up as soon as she turned over, remained silent.

Although the two were truly husband and wife, the young woman had been too shy the past couple of times, wishing she could keep her eyes closed from start to finish. This time, her sudden bold and passionate staring made Li Tianyao’s heart burn. He felt a bit expectant!

Yet, after the young woman had scanned him from head to toe and made no further move, Li Tianyao really couldn’t hold back. He silently opened his eyes. "What are you looking at?"

An Yan was speechless. Her Clairvoyance Technique even seemed to shrink back in fright.

Looking at his eyes, filled with teasing and anticipation, An Yan’s face turned red as she hurriedly explained, "Don’t get the wrong idea; I didn’t mean to do anything to you. I was checking your health! Just now, I felt the duration increase. It must mean Grandpa woke up. My Clairvoyance Technique’s duration suddenly increased by eight minutes, so..."

"Have you finished checking?"

The man’s voice was intoxicatingly husky, as if it had a built-in sound mixer effect, making her heart flutter.

An Yan composed herself and nodded. "I’ve finished checking, and I didn’t find anything abnormal."

Speaking of which, An Yan felt quite disheartened. Her Clairvoyance Technique could only reveal abnormalities in the body’s internal structure and organs; beyond that, it couldn’t show anything more. It also couldn’t analyze the composition of cellular tissues. And for Li Tianyao, having no abnormalities was the greatest abnormality—he was, frankly, too healthy. Even though his eyes had already undergone pathological changes, the scan still showed no abnormalities whatsoever. Alas!

She was still feeling discouraged when she suddenly realized something was moving under her hand. Snapping back to reality, she glanced down. At some point, Li Tianyao had pressed her hand to his chest. Beneath her palm, his heartbeat was steady and strong.

"Little lady, you’ve offended me with your stare. You’re not planning to just leave it at that, are you?"

An Yan was bewildered. She had intended to carry out the scan secretly to avoid this kind of situation, but man proposes, God disposes!

When she got up early the next morning, she felt a wave of backache and soreness.

Seeing her shuffle forward while supporting her waist, the man flipped out of bed, picked her up, and carried her to the bathroom.

"Aren’t you a doctor? Can’t you cure your own back pain?"

An Yan was silent for a moment. "This is an overuse injury! An overuse injury is a mechanical injury to muscles or ligaments. The treatment is to stop the actions and behaviors causing the injury, allowing the affected area sufficient rest."

Li Tianyao chuckled, bent down, and kissed the corner of her mouth. "Got it, I’ll let you rest!"

An Yan thought that when he said he would let her rest, he meant no more intimacy. She didn’t expect he actually meant not letting her do any chores. When she washed her face and brushed her teeth, the man patiently attended to her.

After she had finished freshening up, he carried her back to the bed. "You lie down for a while; I’ll go downstairs and get you something to eat."

An Yan quickly refused. "No need, I’ll go downstairs to eat."

Before Li Tianyao arrived, she had always eaten with everyone else. Now that he was here, if she suddenly stopped going downstairs for breakfast, what would everyone think?

"Going downstairs is quite a walk. What you need most right now is rest! Be good, and save your energy where it’s not needed!"

What did he mean by ’where it’s not needed’? Save energy for what? An Yan glanced at him. It wasn’t that she wanted to overthink things, but this man...

After some resistance, An Yan finally won the right to move about freely. But the man still followed her, as if fearful she would accidentally misstep again. An Yan was exasperated.

"Sister An Yan and Brother-in-law are so affectionate."

As soon as Mu Enyu saw them, her eyes lit up. Sister An Yan and Brother-in-law were her ultimate OTP (One True Pairing), no contest. Especially after she saw her brother-in-law doing even little things like pouring soup for Sister An Yan, Mu Enyu’s smile grew even brighter. Her gaze unintentionally drifted over to Liang Chen.

He sat there with a straight back, looking prim and proper. Could such a man, possibly one day, be as tender and considerate as her brother-in-law?

While she was still pondering, Liang Chen passed her a piece of toast smeared with peanut butter. "I made an extra portion. Want some?"

"Yes!" Mu Enyu reached out to accept it. She just assumed he had genuinely made extra.

But An Yan, who didn’t even need to serve herself food, saw quite clearly that Liang Chen had specifically made it for Mu Enyu; his own toast had no spread at all.

An Yan took Liang Chen and Mu Enyu to the hospital. As soon as they exited the elevator, they saw Mo Shiyu with a face full of anguish, her eyes swollen like walnuts.

"Sister An Yan!" the young girl cried, running toward her and grabbing her arm. "Can you talk to my grandpa and ask him to forgive my dad?"
