Jiang Yuanyuan stared at Luo Chao in shock. She only knew Luo Chao as a cheeky, brazen man, but never expected that he had suffered so much as a child. Feeling a bit uncomfortable, she pouted and said, "Your old man can't be your biological dad, right?"

A Yuan heard this and looked at Luo Chao with concern, knowing Luo Chao would just laugh it off. Luo Chao chuckled and looked at Jiang Yuanyuan, saying, "How did you get so smart? You're right, I was picked up by my old man."

Seeing Jiang Yuanyuan's astonished expression, Luo Chao continued, "But it's not like my old man deliberately tortured me because of that. It was to make me grow better."

"What kind of crap is that? Would a real father have the heart to throw his own kid into a snake pit?"

Jiang Yuanyuan, upon hearing Luo Chao's words, was radiating maternal love. She angrily slammed the table and said.

At that moment, Chen Xiaoqi came in from outside, saw Jiang Yuanyuan's angry face, and walked over with a smile, asking, "What's going on, Yuanyuan jie? Who made you angry this early in the morning? Who got thrown into a snake pit?"

As she spoke, Chen Xiaoqi kept glancing at Luo Chao. When Luo Chao saw her, he thought, oh great, this little rascal is here, nothing good is going to happen.

Jiang Yuanyuan was about to say it was Luo Chao, but A Yuan's cough stalled her words. She then said, "Xiaoqi, I can't go to class today."

"What happened to you?" Chen Xiaoqi asked, puzzled. If Jiang Yuanyuan didn't go to class, it would break a lot of nerdy hearts.

Jiang Yuanyuan stammered and couldn't speak, only for Luo Chao to say, "Oh, it's nothing much, just over-exercised yesterday and got a muscle strain."

"What should we do then? How about we go to the hospital?" Chen Xiaoqi said nervously.

Jiang Yuanyuan blushed and said, "No need, resting for a day will be fine. You go to school by yourself today; later, Uncle Yuan will drive you."

Chen Xiaoqi heard Jiang Yuanyuan's words, noticed her awkward expression, and then looked at Luo Chao. She nudged Luo Chao's shoulder, asking, "Did you get Yuanyuan jie hurt? Didn't you? Otherwise, why would she be injured and not go to class?"

Luo Chao looked at Chen Xiaoqi, half laughing and half crying, thinking this little rascal is always ready to blame him for anything. Whatever it was, it could all somehow be attributed to him.

So he shrugged and said, "Do I have that much guts? It wasn't me."

Chen Xiaoqi wrinkled her nose and said, "I bet you wouldn't dare."

Looking at Jiang Yuanyuan, she took a piece of bread, saying, "Since that's the case, I'll go by myself today. It'll be really boring without you in class with me."

Jiang Yuanyuan felt a bit guilty towards Chen Xiaoqi and quickly said, "I'll be better tomorrow. Let Uncle Yuan take you."

Chen Xiaoqi shook her head and said, "I'm so used to hitching a ride with you, my family's driver is about to get bored to death. We can't always trouble Uncle Yuan for everything, right? It's time to train my family driver a bit."

After saying this, she waved at Jiang Yuanyuan and said, "I'll head off now. I'm already running late since I got up late today."

Jiang Yuanyuan awkwardly waved goodbye to Chen Xiaoqi.

A Yuan noticed Jiang Yuanyuan's change but didn't point it out. The young miss was much better than before, so he happily said, "I should still send Miss Chen. It's really stuffy staying at home every day."

Chen Xiaoqi paused, looked at Luo Chao and asked, "Are you not going to school either?"

Luo Chao said, "I go to school to protect Yuanyuan. Since she's not going, I'll naturally stay home to protect her."

Chen Xiaoqi pouted, thinking it was unnecessary. Jiang Yuanyuan already had enough bodyguards outside to form a reinforced company. Did she really need his protection?

She happily took Uncle Yuan's arm and said, "Uncle Yuan is the best to Xiaoqi, let's go to school!"

A Yuan left with Chen Xiaoqi, leaving Jiang Yuanyuan and Luo Chao alone in the room. Jiang Yuanyuan cleared her throat and pointed to the chair next to her, saying, "Sit down."

Luo Chao was startled, thinking this little girl had changed her attitude, but he said, "Well, there's a rule at the Jiang Family; am I allowed to sit?"

Jiang Yuanyuan glared and shouted, "In my villa, what I say goes. If I tell you to sit, you sit, no need to argue!"

Luo Chao had been waiting for this and sat next to Jiang Yuanyuan without another word, watching her eat breakfast.

After Jiang Yuanyuan ate for a while, she noticed Luo Chao wasn't moving at all, so she said, "Why are you just sitting there? Eat breakfast with me!"

Luo Chao blinked, really wanting to reach out and touch Jiang Yuanyuan's head to see if she had hit it yesterday. Why else would she be acting so strange today?

"What are you staring at? Are you deaf? I said eat with me!" Jiang Yuanyuan kicked Luo Chao with her left foot.

Luo Chao snapped out of it and said with a smile, "I thought I misheard you. You usually dislike me; why would you eat at the same table with me?"

Hearing Luo Chao's words, Jiang Yuanyuan's ears turned red, thinking, maybe I'm just in a weird mood today, okay?

But she said, "Considering you carried me downstairs today, it's a reward for you. Here, eat up."

With that, she stuffed the remaining piece of bread into Luo Chao's hand. Luo Chao noticed Jiang Yuanyuan's teeth marks on the bread, said nothing, and immediately stuffed it into his mouth, chasing it down with the soy milk in front of him, starting to eat breakfast earnestly.

Jiang Yuanyuan watched Luo Chao eat the bread she left, feeling an indescribable sensation, just sweet with a hint of secret joy, but she pretended as if she didn't know anything, picked up another piece of bread, and ate slowly.

When Luo Chao finished breakfast, Jiang Yuanyuan stuffed the remaining bread into her mouth and clapped her hands, saying, "I'm full."

Luo Chao nodded, naturally stood up to tidy the table, washed the plates and cups, and then walked back, squatting in front of Jiang Yuanyuan. Seeing Luo Chao clean up like that filled Jiang Yuanyuan with warmth, and without hesitation, she laid onto Luo Chao's back.

When Luo Chao stood up, Jiang Yuanyuan joked, "Take me back to the palace!"

As she spoke, her breath tingled Luo Chao's neck, sending shivers down his spine. He didn't bother with the nonsense Jiang Yuanyuan had just said.

Luo Chao carried Jiang Yuanyuan back to her room, gently placed her down, and said, "Wait for me a bit; I'll fetch the medicinal wine."

With that, he turned and walked downstairs, took out the medicinal wine from his bag, and returned to Jiang Yuanyuan's room.

Seeing Luo Chao come back so quickly made Jiang Yuanyuan's heart skip a beat. Her mental preparation wasn't done yet, and now he was back, making it too awkward.

Luo Chao didn't look at Jiang Yuanyuan's expression, naturally sitting by her bed. He lifted Jiang Yuanyuan's right leg onto his lap.

Moved by Luo Chao, Jiang Yuanyuan cried out, "Be gentle, it hurts!"
