Elite Doting Marriage: Crafty Husband, Aloof Cute Wife

She transformed from a tough guy to a docile woman in a split second.

Happiness and a sense of accomplishment dawned too quickly. Lu Yinan was startled and he took some time to recover himself. He bent to look at Zhou Shuang, who was nestled against his chest. He couldn’t see her expression.

He thought that she was pretending so he pursed his lips. “How insincere.”

What he wanted was for her to truly treat him like a man. He wanted her to rely and depend on him wholeheartedly.

“Lu Yinan, I was terrified just now. Before you came, I was really afraid.”

Zhou Shuang’s constricted voice sounded in his embrace. And it sounded as though she was crying.

Lu Yinan was startled as he bent his head.

Zhou Shuang raised her head, and her eyes were red. “I was so afraid that I wouldn’t be able to see you again,” said Zhou Shuang as she heaved a deep breath.

It wasn’t easy to forget a person. She couldn’t do it. At a point of time when it was a matter of life and death, she had a thought.

If she could just see Lu Yinan for one last time, even if he didn’t love or care about her…

She still couldn’t forget him.

Zhou Shuang was a headstrong and fierce woman. So Lu Yinan wasn’t used to seeing this weak and soft side of her. “Really?” Lu Yinan asked rather apprehensively.

What if she mocked him for embracing and consoling her…

Zhou Shuang frowned in anger when she was being doubted. “Lu Yinan!”

“Alright, I got it.” Lu Yinan pulled Zhou Shuang back into his embrace and patted her shoulders. Contentment and bliss filled his eyes. “It’s good that you know how to be afraid.”

Contentment was so simple. As long as this hooligan needed and relied on him.

Sometimes, a man really needed to be sly and devious. He seemed to have an inkling why Yan Rusheng was so sly.

The feeling of being relied on and depended on by the woman he loved was awesome.

“Lu Yinan!”

Zhou Shuang muttered and Lu Yinan answered, “Why?”

“That…” Zhou Shuang stretched and pointed at her right ankle.

Lu Yinan’s eyes followed her hand. “What happened?”

“Those two holes. What is that?” Zhou Shuang retreated from Lu Yinan’s embrace and she pointed at the red spots on her ankle. She unconsciously clutched Lu Yinan’s arm.

She was really nervous.

Lu Yinan studied the wounds on her ankle and noticed that it was turning slightly purple. “Why does it look like a snake’s bite?”

He let go of Zhou Shuang and crouched to have a closer look.

“Snake…” Zhou Shuang’s face turned starkly white. She had suspected that the snake had bitten her earlier on, but she was unsure.

When the snake lunged at her earlier on, she had lost her footing and fell off. So she couldn’t remember if she got bitten.

When she heard Lu Yinan, she became unsettled.

Lu Yinan noticed her going pale and he became nervous too. “What happened?”

Zhou Shuang said in a trembling voice, “Just now I fell off the mountain because a snake attacked me.”

“Let me take a look.” Lu Yinan raised Zhou Shuang’s leg and studied her wounds carefully.

Suddenly, he bowed his head and sucked at the wound.

Zhou Shuang’s eyes were huge with shock. “Lu Yinan! What are you doing?!”

She tried to pull her leg away from Lu Yinan. But he grabbed her leg and continued to suck at her wounds.

After a while, he spat out the residue.
