Husband, Calm Down Part 1

Pei Feng and Jiang Aozhou burst in.

After they pushed the door open, the two bodyguards at the entrance each seized one of their arms.

The pose, like they were restraining criminals, met the eyes of Qin Fan and Xie Yanli.

A plump, round durian rolled across the floor.

It finally came to a stop right in the center of the hospital room.

“...”

A faint awkwardness flowed through the air.

The bodyguards hadn't expected Pei Feng to be so reckless, trying to rush in without a word.

Seeing no reaction from Xie Yanli, they let them go.

Jiang Aozhou's expression was one of suffocation. After being released, he silently took half a step back. "Did we come at a bad time?"

After rushing in, Pei Feng also regretted it.

Especially seeing Qin Fan grabbing Xie Yanli's collar with both hands, while the legendary Bodhisattva Xie, known for being aloof from women, was leaning over the hospital bed. The two looked as if they had been disturbed mid-kiss.

However, as long as you're not the one who feels awkward, the awkward one is someone else.

Pei Feng straightened up, closed the door to the room, and waved his hand. "Good morning. I didn't expect you two to be in such high spirits so early in the morning."

Neither Qin Fan nor Xie Yanli spoke.

Xie Yanli didn't want to speak. Qin Fan, on the other hand, was purely caught off guard, surprised by this 'Surprise!'.

Seeing the silence in the room.

Pei Feng paused slightly. He tentatively pushed Jiang Aozhou forward, pointed at the other durian in his hand, and said, "How about we put on a show of eating durian to liven things up for you two?"

“...”

Jiang Aozhou had just discovered that there were even more awkward moments in this world.

For example, right after Pei Feng said something crazy!

Who the hell wants to eat durian to liven things up for someone? Psycho!

Is that how you alleviate awkwardness?

Being watched by Xie Yanli's cold and clear eyes, Pei Feng finally realized what he had said. "I was just kidding. Funny, wasn't it? Hahaha."

"Pfft..." Qin Fan couldn't hold it in and actually laughed out loud.

Her face, which had been as pale as translucent white jade due to her illness, was now colored with a deep smile. She looked like a flower in full bloom, utterly stunning.

Xie Yanli unhurriedly straightened up, calmly adjusting his collar that had been messed up by Qin Fan. He glanced at Pei Feng and Jiang Aozhou. "Come in."

His tone was as faint as ever, revealing no emotion.

The two of them shoved each other at the door, arguing over who should go first. In the end, Pei Feng bit the bullet. "Sister-in-law, this is our other good brother, Jiang Aozhou. We came to see you."

"Hello."

Qin Fan thought about how she had just woken up and hadn't washed up yet, feeling it was a bit rude.

After greeting them, she prepared to support herself on the edge of the bed to go to the bathroom.

She had just moved.

The next moment, she was suddenly airborne. The man's strong and powerful arms swept her up horizontally, and he walked past Pei Feng and the others toward the bathroom with an air of casual ease.

Only Pei Feng and Jiang Aozhou were left in the room, staring at each other.

Glancing at the closed bathroom door, Jiang Aozhou lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, "Can you give a heads-up before you do something stupid?"

"Now Sister-in-law definitely thinks I'm an idiot."

"No, she'll think all of Brother Xie's friends are idiots!"

With a calm face, Pei Feng gave him a mysterious smile. "She won't. She still has to get by on my set. She'll only think of you as the idiot."

Jiang Aozhou looked at his face. "You motherf..."

"No fighting in the hospital. Don't worry, don't worry. Once Sister-in-law learns the wonderful use of this durian, she won't think you're an idiot. She'll even thank us for bringing such a useful gift." Pei Feng quickly tried to salvage their precarious brotherhood.

Just as they were speaking, the sound of footsteps came from outside the room.

In the bathroom.

Unable to stand steadily on one leg, Qin Fan righteously used Xie Yanli as a crutch—a highly advanced robotic crutch at that.

Watching Qin Fan brush her teeth, wash her face, and do her skincare, it felt as if they were back to how they were before the cold war.

Her pretty and moving face was once again colored with flamboyance and pamperedness. Xie Yanli felt deeply that it was very necessary to expend some effort to restore domestic harmony.

He nonchalantly pointed to Qin Fan's phone on the washstand. "Mrs. Xie, did you forget something?"

"Forget what?" Qin Fan misinterpreted his hint. "A fairy can't possibly give you any official status, so stop dreaming."

Qin Fan thought Xie Yanli still wanted her to repost on Weibo and announce their marriage.

She refused to walk around the entertainment industry with the title of Mrs. Xie. When she entered the industry, she said she would rely on her own strength, and she would stick to it, never eating her own words.

This time, when she was being suppressed by Qin Yuzhi, Xie Yanli had invested to help her. She wouldn't let Xie Yanli suffer a loss; she would pay him back with even more money in the future!

Hearing Qin Fan's righteous words, this crutch of a man really wanted to go on strike.

But in the end, he said nothing. He personally picked up the phone, used facial recognition on her little face that was still chattering away, and opened the green app on the home screen.

"Human ATM?" Xie Yanli looked at Qin Fan with a faint smile.

Only then did Qin Fan see that Xie Yanli had removed his own account from her blocklist, and she finally understood what he meant.

She touched the tip of her nose, then blinked her innocent peach blossom eyes. "It's my term of endearment for you. No one else has it!"

Term of endearment?

Xie Yanli just watched her quietly, waiting to see what nonsense she could come up with.

Qin Fan pointed at the contact name. "Is there anyone in the world who doesn't love money? What does a Human ATM equal? It equals a treasure that can spit out money anytime, anywhere. Me giving you this contact name is no different from 'My Darling Husband'."

Absurd.

Xie Yanli didn't argue with her.

"It's just that 'My Darling Husband' is too tacky. It doesn't fit the unique aesthetic we young people have for contact names." Qin Fan asked casually, "I know you don't like such tacky and vulgar names."

Xie Yanli smiled nonchalantly. "I like it."

Qin Fan: "???"

Xie Yanli lifted his smoothly defined jaw. "Change it. I like this tacky and vulgar name."

Qin Fan's peach blossom eyes widened in shock, like a frightened kitten, her pupils dark and clear, making one want to tease it.

When Qin Fan was changing the contact name, her mind was a bit muddled. She never expected Xie Yanli's taste to be so tacky and sweet.

But after changing it, meeting Xie Yanli's eyes that held a hint of a smile, Qin Fan realized he did it on purpose!

How could a fairy admit defeat so easily.

"Where's your phone? Since I changed mine, you have to change yours too. Don't you like this type of contact name!"

A few minutes later, Qin Fan had changed all her contact names on Xie Yanli's phone as well.

When Xie Yanli saw the name at the top of his contact list—My Darling Sweetheart Fairy Wife—

An unusual expression appeared in his usually calm and placid eyes:

He had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own foot.

After Qin Fan finished, she placed her slender fingers on the doorknob, ready to leave, but then suddenly turned her head and smiled at Xie Yanli. "President Xie, do you know what Director Pei meant by sending that durian?"

Xie Yanli raised an eyebrow at her.

One look at his expression and Qin Fan knew that Xie Yanli definitely hadn't checked for follow-ups after posting on Weibo last night.

And others certainly wouldn't dare tell him.

Qin Fan smiled like a sly little fox full of hidden meaning.

The next second, she was about to pull the door open forcefully.

Unexpectedly, Director Pei's voice came from outside: "Qin Fan, Chi Guyuan and Fang Yuze are here to see you."

Hearing how Director Pei addressed her, Qin Fan knew they had come in.

She immediately pressed her back against the bathroom door, her previous deliberately provoking expression gone. She smiled at Xie Yanli, her eyes curving, looking exceptionally sincere. "Husband, look, the bathroom in this premium VIP hospital room is quite clean and comfortable. Why don't you sit here for half an hour and enjoy it?"

"Say that again."

Xie Yanli's handsome and refined face showed no change as he looked at her nonchalantly.

Qin Fan: "..."

She bounced over and threw herself at Xie Yanli. "Husband, you're the best."

She generously left several sweet kisses on Xie Yanli's face.

Xie Yanli caught her unstable, soft body, then lifted her onto the washstand. His thin lips pressed down, but he didn't kiss her. Instead, he moved to her ear:

"That little fresh meat you wanted to keep?"

Qin Fan had completely forgotten about that, never expecting Xie Yanli to still remember.

Seeing her black and white eyes filled with guilt, Xie Yanli let out a low laugh from his throat.

But Qin Fan heard a hint of danger in it.
