Chapter 52

Husband, Calm Down Part 2

She quickly propped her hands on his chest. "Husband, calm down!"

Xie Yanli continued in a slow and deliberate manner, "Hmm, a young and tender body?"

"No, no, no!" Qin Fan's survival instincts were off the charts. "I'm not interested in any bodies out there at all. I only love my husband's pecs, abs, waist muscles, back muscles..."

As Qin Fan spoke, her slender and delicate hands roamed down over the thin shirt on the man's body, purely wanting to express her love for her husband's physique.

However, she forgot that you can't touch a man in the morning.

Even though he was impeccably dressed, underneath—

Especially when a knock suddenly came from outside, accompanied by a young boy's clear voice: "Sister, are you okay? Do you need me to carry you out?"

Pei Feng's voice followed closely behind: "What are you knocking for? Why are you rushing a girl in the bathroom? She has her phone, she'll call us if she needs anything."

Chi Guyuan: "Oh, right. I was just worried about Sister."

Pei Feng: 'She doesn't need your worry.' Her husband is still in there, you silly boy!

Through the thin door panel.

Xie Yanli, who had been restraining himself all morning, suddenly didn't want to hold back anymore.

His ink-black eyes seemed to draw people into an abyss.

He held the hand Qin Fan had placed on his chest.

Xie Yanli unhurriedly held Qin Fan's hand, guiding those bonelessly soft fingertips.

The sound that rang out made Qin Fan's scalp tingle.

Her slender shoulders, clad in a hospital gown, trembled. She wanted to pull away, but she couldn't break free from the man's restraining palm.

Qin Fan limply draped herself over Xie Yanli's shoulder, her pair of enchanting peach blossom eyes looking at him. "Xie Yanli..."

Xie Yanli leaned against the cold tiles, the Adam's apple on his long neck bobbing. His long fingers circled her slender wrist as he let out a low sigh. "Mrs. Xie, you should work out."

To build up muscles in my arm?

She refused to believe Xie Yanli would still be in the mood if she built up arm muscles.

Qin Fan was too tired to speak. She bit Xie Yanli on the chin and said fiercely, "Hurry up!"

The bite made Xie Yanli's body freeze.

Then he pinched the nape of her neck, like grabbing a cat by its scruff, and lifted her off his neck. His thumb brushed against the corner of her crimson lips. "This place is not bad?"

Qin Fan opened her mouth wide and bit his fingertip. "..."

She mumbled indistinctly, "In your dreams."

In my dreams?

Xie Yanli's gaze fell on her brightly colored red lips, his eyes growing darker and darker.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Fan was finally lifted off the washstand by him. He personally washed her hands for her, washing them spotlessly clean.

Qin Fan felt her little hands were so dirty they could never be washed clean.

Besides the jasmine-scented air freshener, the air was now tinged with a faint yet heart-pounding aroma.

Mrs. Xie put on a grumpy face. "Can I go out now?"

Xie Yanli's features relaxed. He gave a reserved "Mm." "Five minutes."

She understood he meant that her dozen-or-so minutes of effort had only earned him five minutes in the bathroom.

Qin Fan flew into a rage: "..."

To hell with your five minutes. She was going to chat outside for fifty minutes and let this dog of a man stay here by himself, doing whatever he damn well pleased!

With a bang, as Qin Fan was leaving the bathroom, her weak wrist went limp, and she accidentally let go of the door, causing it to slam shut with a thunderous noise.

It startled the four men in the room, who all looked over in unison.

Qin Fan gave them a graceful smile. "Thank you all for taking the trouble to visit me today."

Soon, the only sound in the hospital room was Chi Guyuan's enthusiastic voice asking after Qin Fan's well-being.

Pei Feng and Jiang Aozhou looked at the tightly shut bathroom door with lingering fear, then exchanged a look, seeing the same shock in each other's eyes.

Their silent conversation went as follows—

Jiang Aozhou: Brother Xie was tied up in the bathroom by Sister-in-law, wasn't he?

Pei Feng: With her beauty as the rope?

Jiang Aozhou: Is that how you cultured people talk?

Pei Feng: What else? A delicate fairy forcing a 188cm hunk?

Jiang Aozhou: ???

Something seemed off.

No matter what was off, from that day on, Jiang Aozhou's impression of Qin Fan was elevated to infinity. It got to the point where whenever he mentioned Qin Fan in their group chat, he would use words like 'valiant'.

This led the brothers in the group to suspect that Mrs. Xie was a muscular superwoman who could punch Iron Man and kick the Hulk.

After returning to the set, Qin Fan's filming got back on track.

Pei Feng later investigated and found that her wire accident was indeed an accident. All the staff involved were fired, and Qin Fan didn't pursue the matter further.

This day, Qin Fan had just finished filming her last scene with the second male lead.

It was Chi Guyuan's last day of shooting.

After filming the hug scene, Chi Guyuan hugged her and said, "Sister, I really don't want to finish filming. I'm so happy acting with you."

Qin Fan patted his back. Who wouldn't like a boy who was both handsome and knew how to act cute?

Of course, this affection was akin to that of a mother-fan looking at her son.

Chi Guyuan was very much a gentleman, letting go after a few seconds. "I hope I'll have the chance to work with you again, Sister."

Sitting in the director's chair, Pei Feng leisurely took a picture and sent it to a certain work-robot.

Qin Fan had no idea.

Because Jiang Rong had arrived: "You're about to wrap up too. I was thinking, since you've starred in Director Pei's film, taking on a supporting female role would be kind of downgrading your status. So I was thinking of waiting until after this movie is released, when more lead role scripts come your way, and then we'll make a plan?"

"Of course, if a good role comes up during this time, we can take it."

Qin Fan agreed with Jiang Rong's professional opinion as her manager. "So I'll be resting during this time?"

Jiang Rong didn't answer, instead revealing a smile. "So I got you a variety show. It's one of those slow-paced, lifestyle-oriented shows, observing the single life of a female celebrity."

"You can earn money and treat it as a break. Isn't that great?"

Qin Fan thought about her own single life when Xie Yanli was away on business for months at a time: "..."

Just shopping?

And spending money?

A very dull and tasteless life.

After hearing this, Jiang Rong clapped her hands. "That's it! This generation of viewers loves exactly this kind of dull and simple variety show effect!"
