106: Chapter 106: Every Time You Want to Eat Me 106: Chapter 106: Every Time You Want to Eat Me “If you’ve got the guts, go ahead and jump out of the car yourself.”

Yan Qianyi paid him no mind and focused on driving.

Mu Yunlie reached out to open the car door, but it was already locked,

and he felt so unwell he couldn’t muster any strength.

He didn’t want to go back with her, not only because he didn’t believe from the beginning that she could really cure his poison.

More importantly, each time after the poison acted up, his emotions would become extremely fragile, and at those times, he absolutely couldn’t control himself.

Although he didn’t know what he was really like when the poison unleashed its effects while with her,

Ah Chang had told him that he insisted on marrying her during such times.

From this, he could deduce that, in front of her, he was like a groveling puppy when poisoned.

Moreover, he had also seen the photos Ah Chang took of them.

In the photos, him, to put it nicely, smiled like a child, and to put it bluntly, looked like a fool.

He didn’t want her to see his embarrassingly weak side.

How humiliating!

He must get away…

Yan Qianyi glanced at Mu Yunlie.

He was still struggling, grasping at the window as if he wanted to smash the glass.

“Stay put.” Yan Qianyi reached out and pressed down on his shoulder.

Mu Yunlie, drained of strength, was pushed back into his seat.

The powerless struggle left him wanting to burst into tears.

He was already so weak he couldn’t resist, and he didn’t even want to think about what he might become once the neurotoxin completely eroded his sanity…

“You’re so resistant; are you worried I’ll harm you?” Yan Qianyi asked.

She saw Mu Yunlie’s hand reaching for the car window again, making it look as if she wanted to attack him.

“Although we’re a fake married couple, we should at least be somewhat friends, right?

Can’t you trust me a little?

You really need to get your paranoia treated,” Yan Qianyi said, shaking her head helplessly, “Don’t worry, I won’t bite.”

Although she sometimes really craved his physique.

But she was a person of principles!

Contrary to him…

Yan Qianyi rolled her eyes, “As for you, always wanting to devour me, and clamoring about having babies with me, you’re awfully persistent.”

Mu Yunlie: !?

What was she talking about?

What did he hear?

No, he didn’t believe it!

Impossible!

He couldn’t have done something so disgusting!

Mu Yunlie’s head pressed tightly against the car door, his body already in so much discomfort he felt near death.

Hearing Yan Qianyi say that, a look of utter despondency spread across his pained face.

His lifetime reputation, ruined in an instant!

Indeed, it might be time to reconsider being a widower…

They quickly arrived at the parking garage below the apartment complex.

Yan Qianyi assisted Mu Yunlie into the elevator.

A strange couple also happened to walk in.

Mu Yunlie used his last willpower to resist the neurotoxin wreaking havoc within him, hoping to move away from Yan Qianyi’s side before he lost complete control.

“Stop fidgeting!” Yan Qianyi firmly hooked his tall waist with one hand and pressed his head to her shoulder with the other.

The couple in the elevator occasionally glanced at them.

Yan Qianyi stared right back, “What are you looking at?

A handsome guy with a beautiful girl; haven’t you seen it before?”

The woman pursed her lips and looked away.

The man smiled apologetically at Yan Qianyi and turned his head as well.

At last, they arrived at the sixteenth floor.

Yan Qianyi hurriedly helped Mu Yunlie out.

Just as they stepped out of the elevator, they heard a woman say to a man, “Don’t you think that guy looks off, and there’s no smell of alcohol on him, could it be that the woman drugged him?

Should we call the police?”

“What police should we call?

Can’t you see they’re a couple?”

“I didn’t notice that.

All I see is the guy seems really reluctant.

You don’t know what some girls nowadays would do to get pregnant or to climb up the social ladder.

My guess is, that guy either has a very high fertility level or he’s very wealthy!”

“Stop being nosy, if only a girl that pretty would scheme against me, I’d be more than willing.”

“With your fertility and salary, who would bother scheming against you?”

“Can you not talk so unpleasantly?”

“I’m stating facts, why are you defending that woman?

Have you taken a fancy to her?”

“And have you taken a fancy to that guy?”

“Your mother…”

The elevator doors finally closed and shut off the voices of the two.

Yan Qianyi wrinkled her brows in annoyance.

She had been born and raised in a detached villa and this was her first time living in a high-rise building with all sorts of people.

Even in the otherworld, the poorest of families had their own thatched huts.

She really wasn’t used to this.

There were even more people in the elevator when she went out this morning.

Perhaps due to her being a new face, the neighbors were full of curiosity, always giving her an extra glance.

Besides, there were too many people talking here, and sometimes it was indeed inconvenient.

It seemed like she would have to find a new place to live.

Once inside the apartment, Yan Qianyi started to take off Mu Yunlie’s clothes.

“Please endure a little longer, you’ll be comfortable soon.”

“Don’t…

touch…

me!”

Mu Yunlie’s consciousness had not yet been swallowed by the poison, and he was uncooperative, intent on getting away.

He was already in enough pain and didn’t want her to turn him into a half-naked porcupine with her needles.

Nor did he want to show his vulnerable side in front of her.

He had heard Vice Officer Pei say that since the Masked Divine Doctor’s live broadcast of the silver needle therapy, many people on the internet had been imitating it.

He even suspected that Yan Qianyi wanted to use him as a test subject.

“Can you please cooperate?

Do you want to detox or not?” Yan Qianyi was running out of patience.

“No…

need…

for you to…

interfere…”

Mu Yunlie pulled away from her and moved towards the door.

Yan Qianyi stepped forward to pull him back.

In the struggle, Mu Yunlie tripped over something and, already weak, he didn’t react in time and collapsed toward the couch nearby.

Yan Qianyi, caught unawares, was pulled along and lost her balance.

As a result, he lay sprawled on the couch, face up.

And she fell onto his chest.

The posture was extremely intimate.

Luckily, Yan Qianyi’s hands braced against the couch in time, otherwise their lips would have also connected.

But their faces were still very close.

Close enough to feel each other’s breath.

Mu Yunlie stared blankly at her, a flush of red seeming to spread under his pale complexion, his Adam’s apple bobbed, “You…”

“You what?

I was pulled down by you!”

Yan Qianyi quickly sat up.

Mu Yunlie tried to prop himself up, but she pressed a hand on him to stop.

She simply sat on top of him to keep him from struggling.

Then she started to take off his clothes.

“I need to take off your clothes to precisely locate your acupoints!

I’ve never seen a patient as uncooperative as you!”

Just at that moment, the door opened.

Aunt Xue came back from outside, carrying a bag of groceries.

“Miss, I never had to buy groceries at the Yan Family, and I had no idea that the prices were so…” Aunt Xue turned around and when she saw the scene on the couch, she froze, “…

high.”
