After settling Jiang Li in the car, Zhao Lang fetched the medical kit from the trunk.
The car door was open, and he crouched down cautiously, applying disinfectant alcohol to Jiang Li’s wound.
From this angle, Jiang Li could just see the top of his head.
His hair swayed slightly under the moonlight, turning as white as snow.
It fell gently like feathers into the bottom of her gaze.
It felt a bit ticklish.
Jiang Li swallowed, her arm instinctively tensing a bit.
Zhao Lang looked up at her.
"What’s wrong? Does it hurt?"
Jiang Li parted her lips slightly.
"Um... no, I was just thinking..."
"About what?"
Jiang Li recalled the scene of being besieged by reporters earlier.
"I was thinking about whether what we’re doing counts as being ambiguous."
Zhao Lang seemingly didn’t expect her to say something like this and froze for a moment.
"You... what do you mean?"
"I don’t mean anything, just that you indeed are quite nice."
Jiang Li pondered over everything that had happened since she met Zhao Lang.
It seemed like every time she needed help, he would appear.
Just like a guardian sent by the ancestor.
She didn’t have high expectations for relationships.
As long as someone fit her mindset, she was content.
And Zhao Lang did fit her preferences in many ways.
So is this considered compensation for a life manipulated by circumstances before?
"I was thinking..." Jiang Li murmured, "that trending topic was indeed arranged by me with the media."
Zhao Lang nodded, "Quite coincidentally, the buzz was funded by me and my grandfather."
Jiang Li: "..."
"The matter has gotten so big, it’s hard to wrap it up now." She said and extended her hand with a slight smile, "Mr. Zhao, let’s continue our collaboration in the future."
Under the dim car lights, Jiang Li’s slightly curved eyes shone like a galaxy.
Zhao Lang instinctively grasped her extended hand.
But before he could speak, the person in front of him suddenly leaned forward and embraced him.
"But this ’contract’ is only temporary. If the second party violates any terms, the first party has the right to terminate the contract, okay?"
Zhao Lang didn’t even catch what Jiang Li was saying.
All he could think about was the scent of roses lingering around her hair.
By the time he realized it, his arms were empty.
Immediately afterward, the car door in front of him closed with a "bang."
Jiang Li’s lazy voice came through the gap.
"Take me back, I’m tired and want to nap."
Even as Zhao Lang started the car, he remained somewhat dazed.
No, no.
Weren’t his plans to wait for an appropriate moment and confess to her himself?
How did he end up in the passive position now?
This doesn’t make sense!
Excited, Zhao Lang’s speed soared to 80 all the way.
His heart rate climbed to a hundred.
In less than half an hour, he arrived at the Jiang family’s gate.
Yawning, Jiang Li rolled down the car window, also a bit surprised.
"We’ve arrived so fast."
Zhao Lang released the steering wheel and looked at her somewhat regretfully.
"Can’t you pretend we haven’t arrived yet and we can take another spin?"
Jiang Li: "..."
"No."
She opened the car door and got out, but before she could stand steadily, a figure emerged from the nearby bushes.
Upon closer inspection.
