Ye Youyou had just come out, so she had no idea whatsoever about what he had just said.
She looked questioningly at Li Jinnan while the latter looked at the police officer and bowed his head slightly. He replied, “Don’t worry. We’ll be making a move first.”
“Take care.”
The moment they walked out of the police station, Ye Youyou couldn’t restrain herself any longer and asked, “Did you promise them something?”
Li Jinnan remained calm and collected as always. When he heard the question, he turned his head toward Ye Youyou and said, “They said if they need us as witnesses or to show up for whatever reason, they hope that we will cooperate.”
“That’s all?” she asked.
“Yeah.” Li Jinnan reached out to hold her in his embrace. He lifted his other hand to stroke her abdomen and said, “That’s all. Are you tired?”
Because he had changed the subject so abruptly, Ye Youyou had a nagging suspicion that things weren’t as simple as he had made them out to be, but she didn’t have the energy to press him further.
Resting her head on Li Jinnan’s shoulder, she closed her eyes and replied, “Very.”
“I’ll carry you,” he said.
“That’s not necessary,” Ye Youyou said. “Did you drive here on your own?”
“Yeah.” Li Jinnan held her and gently planted a kiss on her cheek. He said, “We’re almost there. I’ll take you back to rest. You should take a shower and have a good rest.”
“I don’t want to shower.” Ye Youyou was exhausted. She didn’t even feel like opening her eyes at that moment.
Being depended on in this manner gave Li Jinnan a sudden sense of security. The emotions that had been left hanging by a thread the past few days suddenly settled down.
It was a very comfortable feeling. He finally didn’t have to worry about her being imprisoned anymore. He finally didn’t have to worry that he might lose her.
Li Jinnan’s heart felt warm. He lowered his head and covered her lips with his and sucked deeply. Ye Youyou was stunned by her ardor. She opened her eyes to look at him.
When Li Jinnan saw that, the corners of his lips lifted in a smile. He murmured, “Be good. I’ll carry you back.” As he spoke, he lifted her in his arms.
Ye Youyou was caught by surprise. Like a sloth, she grabbed on to Li Jinnan firmly. “What are you doing? You scared me!” She smacked him in accusation and coquettishly protested, “I already said I don’t want you to carry me! Everyone around is looking at us!”
Li Jinnan looked to his left and his right and realized that many people had turned to look at them. He replied, “So what if they are? Let them look! I’ll just look at my own woman! What’s wrong with that?”
Such blunt and straightforward words made Ye Youyou’s face heat up in embarra.s.sment. She asked, “How can you just say that?”
“Why can’t I?” Li Jinnan strode up to his car and bent his head as he whispered, “When we go back, I’ll help you shower before you sleep!”
“No, I don’t want to shower,” she protested.
“You have to,” Li Jinnan lightly replied. “I’ll help you wash up. It doesn’t matter if you don’t shower tomorrow or the day after, but you have to today. Otherwise, it’ll be inauspicious.”
Inauspicious?
Ye Youyou was caught by surprise and asked, “Why?”
“The aura in prison is unlucky,” Li Jinnan said. “After going in, it will stay on you. The uniform that you wore in prison couldn’t be worn out. Even though you’ve changed out of it, you’ll still have to bathe and cleanse yourself. Otherwise, bad luck will follow you.”
Ye Youyou smiled as she heard him. He wrapped her arms around his neck and grinned as she replied, “I never thought that you believed in such things.”
“When it comes to such matters, it’s safer to believe in it and take precautions.” Li Jinnan continued walking. His steps were steady.
“Why are you carrying me?” she asked. “Aren’t you worried that the unlucky aura surrounding me will pa.s.s on to you?”
“No.” Li Jinnan chuckled. “I am born out of a military family. Even if evil spirits do exist, I’m fiercer than it is. No evil spirit will dare to bully me.”
