Caught in a chaotic situation, she is doted on by six villainous sons.

Chapter 114 Don't Tempt Me, I'll Be Serious

Sensing his actions, Jiang Liwu cried even more uncontrollably. She cried silently, restrained and quiet, but her tears flowed like a burst dam, as if to drown her.

She didn't understand. Shang Tingyan had never known her in this lifetime, and she had deliberately maintained a distance from him, keeping a safe distance and not crossing any boundaries. Why was Shang Tingyan still so gentle with her?

Her reaction was actually quite inexplicable and unreasonable, but he still accepted it all.

Jiang Liwu closed her eyes and listened to the man's frantic and powerful heartbeat. It took her a while to calm down her overwhelming emotions.

She stepped out of the man's embrace, her face wet with tears, flushed with excitement like a peach after being hit by rain. She pursed her lips to control her emotions, trying to quickly return to the normal, measured, and distant way she had been with Shang Tingyan before.

On the contrary, Shang Tingyan would not allow her to define their relationship on her own. Just a second ago, she was so eager and recklessly throwing herself into his arms.

Shang Tingyan raised his hand to touch Jiang Liwu's face to wipe away her tears, but Jiang Liwu turned her head away. Shang Tingyan then took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears through his hand.

Jiang Liwu didn't resist too much this time, because the tears made her face sticky and itchy, and crying was a little painful, so it wasn't very comfortable.

"Why are you crying?" Shang Tingyan asked in a deep voice.

Jiang Liwu didn't answer, and Shang Tingyan continued, "It's because of me. You thought the person lying there was me, you were worried about me, you were afraid something would happen to me?"

"You cried when we first met. I wasn't hurt then, and I've been wondering why you cried. Now I think maybe it was because you were happy?"

"Happy to see me? Jiang Liwu, haven't we met before? Before I first met you, a long time ago."

Jiang Liwu's eyelashes trembled as countless memories related to Shang Tingyan from before the world restarted flashed through her mind.

She calmly replied, "No, we've never met before and have no connection whatsoever."

In fact, there were many opportunities for them to cross paths, but during the last time she saved the world, Jiang Liwu gave herself a mental suggestion to avoid every meeting with Shang Tingyan.

She simply watched quietly as Shang Tingyan walked through her world time and time again, without making a sound to disturb him.

Her words were so straightforward that it seemed as if she was trying to cover something up, making Shang Tingyan even more suspicious that they had met before.

However, he had no recollection of Jiang Liwu at all. If he had met Jiang Liwu, he could not have forgotten her.

"If I hadn't met you, why would you care so much about my safety? Jiang Liwu, do you like..." Shang Tingyan's deep eyes rippled with a hint of complexity. He, who was always restrained, polite, detached, and indifferent, began to be direct.

Jiang Liwu's pupils suddenly constricted, and she interrupted him urgently, "I don't like it."

"I... I'm doing this because of Grandma. Grandma and I are close friends despite our age difference. You're Grandma's grandson. If something happens to you, Grandma will be heartbroken, and that will be a huge blow to her health. So you can't let anything happen to you." The more Jiang Liwu spoke, the more confident she seemed to be, speaking with righteous indignation.

Shang Tingyan thought of how he had used his grandmother as an excuse before, but now it was Jiang Liwu's turn, and he fell silent for a moment.

So this is your answer?

Jiang Liwu pursed her lips tightly, and her eyelashes trembled again.

Shang Tingyan bent down slightly to look her in the eye, his gaze deep. "You've kissed, you've hugged, you've called me your boyfriend more than once, and you even said you wanted to go home with me, but then you completely forgot about me and went home with Si Mocheng."

"One moment you're holding Yan Wenyu, the next you're crying in front of me. You really don't like me."

"Jiang Liwu, don't seduce me, I'll be serious."

Seeing the surging undercurrent and seriousness in the man's eyes, Jiang Liwu's breath caught in her throat. His deep black eyes held the beast of the night, locking onto her, spying on her, gleaming with a ghostly light, full of aggression, as if she had nowhere to escape.

Just as Jiang Liwu was at a loss for what to do, a loud "bang" rang out, and Gu Youchuan winced in pain. He clutched his forehead where he had hit the wall, and when Jiang Liwu and Shang Tingyan looked over, he gave an awkward smile, his eyes and expression clearly showing he was watching the drama unfold. "This wall is really hard, haha. You two carry on, don't worry about me, just pretend I don't exist." He hadn't expected so much to have happened between them without his knowledge!

"I didn't seduce you." After saying this to Shang Tingyan, Jiang Liwu quickly left.

Shang Tingyan didn't stop her from leaving, but just watched her back. At this moment, Gu Youchuan came over and said, "Brother Yan, you mustn't believe her. She's obviously trying to hook you."

"Ah."

"Huh? What do you mean by 'huh'? Brother Yan, you're not going to take the bait, are you? You've really fallen for Jiang Liwu, haven't you? Didn't you say you were very clear-headed?" Gu Youchuan looked at Shang Tingyan with disbelief, as if he were seeing this person for the first time.

Shang Tingyan's eyes darkened as he touched the dampness on his chest. He glanced at Gu Youchuan indifferently and said, "You don't need to care so much about my feelings. I have my own pace."

Gu Youchuan: ? ? ?

No.

"Oh right, I saw the bracelet on Jiang Liwu's wrist clearly. Isn't that the one the old lady was wearing? I remember it was your family heirloom, wasn't it?!"

Shang Tingyan: "Mm."

Gu Youchuan: "!!!" It's true, even if you were to imitate such a bracelet, it would be extremely difficult to do so.

"Wow, the old lady gave it to me? I should have known. She took a liking to Jiang Liwu at first sight during the birthday banquet."

"I'm really curious if the old lady chose her granddaughter-in-law based on her looks. If so, I have nothing to say."

“Brother Yan, when I came here I took a special look at Yan Wenyu and he was still unconscious. Jiang Liwu is most likely taking care of him,” Gu Youchuan still wanted to persuade him again.

Shang Tingyan's deep, captivating face held an unreadable expression as he took out his phone to let his grandmother know he was safe.

……

Jiang Liwu naturally didn't go straight back to the ward, because she hadn't bought what she needed to buy yet.

Xiang Rui tried to pull the mask out of Yan Wenyu's hand, but Yan Wenyu gripped it tighter and tighter, his brows furrowing and beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. The next second, his listless eyes opened, a cold glint in them.

Xiang Rui was startled at first, then his eyes lit up with joy, "Brother Yu, you're awake!"

Yan Wenyu gave a hoarse "hmm," his expression not good. The lingering nausea and goosebumps hadn't subsided. Thinking of that lewd and crazy stalker fan's attempt to force a kiss on him, and his infatuated and shy demeanor, Yan Wenyu immediately sat up, propped himself up on the side of the bed, and started dry heaving. His face became even paler and bluish.

Xiang Rui quickly brought over a glass of water, "Brother Yu, drink some hot water to calm down."

Yan Wenyu took the water glass and forced down a few sips. The slightly hot water moistened his mouth and went down his throat, which did make him feel a little better.
