Chapter 406: You Look More Handsome (1) (2/2)

It would be hard to explain why he wanted to squeeze in with the other guys instead of staying with his wife.

Chu Lian lamented her misfortune inwardly and gave up. They were married anyway and she didn’t actually dislike He Sanlang. On the contrary, she might even have taken a liking to him somewhere deep in her heart.

There wasn’t really anything in the way of them becoming husband and wife in truth, rather than just in name.

Chu Lian showed him a faint frown, “Then you had better behave yourself.”

He Sanlang’s expression had somewhat relaxed after Chu Lian hadn’t taken him to task for his misdeeds. The moment she brought up the elephant in the room, his handsome face lit up in a spectacular blush once again.

He gulped hard. Even his fingers felt rather stiff from all the tension in him.

It was only after a long pause that he finally managed to give a response, “Sleep, I won’t move at all.”

Chu Lian shot a doubtful glance at him before grunting lightly in agreement. From the way she wrapped her clothes tightly around herself, it was clear that she didn’t trust in He Changdi’s weak self-control.

She was about to shut her eyes when she abruptly remembered Urihan and her sons.

“What about the people who were lying in the horses with me?”

He Sanlang shifted the cloaks and fleeces covering the two of them and made sure that Chu Lian’s entire body was properly shielded from the cold, “They’re in another warm pen. Don’t worry, there’s a doctor looking after them. They’ll be fine.”

Upon hearing that her companions were safe, Chu Lian sighed in relief and finally let herself relax fully.

She looked up at He Changdi. He seemed to have recovered from his blush and was now back to the normal calm and cool-headed Sanlang. However, when she looked closer at his narrow, upturned eyes, she could still detect a well-hidden trace of tenderness in their depths.

Chu Lian blinked, “He Sanlang, did you find out who did all this?”

The question made He Sanlang’s sharp brows lift a little. He didn’t like how Chu Lian had addressed him.

After a slight pause, he cast a searching gaze downwards at the woman curled up between his arms, as if trying to see through her thoughts.

“What do you think?”

The space between Chu Lian’s brows wrinkled as she thought seriously. Her face was like an open book. All of her thoughts and emotions could be read just by looking at her.

“Those kidnappers couldn’t possibly have been sent by Xiao Bojian, right?” Chu Lian’s words sent a ripple of shock through He Changdi.

His pupils constricted; he met Chu Lian’s innocent gaze with a grave expression.

“Why would you think so?”
