Shen Jun knew deep down that Zhang Lin wouldn’t harm Wen Nian, but he couldn’t help feeling anxious when he didn’t see her for a brief moment. He decided not to bring up the subject again with Wen Nian. Instead, he asked her, “How did you manage to escape?”

Wen Nian shared the details of her escape with Shen Jun and expressed her disappointment, saying, “I fled because 1 had a hunch that he would manipulate me to force some unreasonable demand from you. Sadly, 1 was a little too late. Are you genuinely considering selling the land to him?”

Shen Jun chose not to disclose to Wen Nian that he no longer had to sell the land due to her escape. He harbored concerns that if a similar situation arose in the future, she might once again escape for the sake of money.

Shen Jun’s expression turned serious as he addressed Wen Nian. “Wen Nian, moving forward, I forbid you from engaging in such perilous actions once you ascertain your safety. 1 am capable of earning money, and you need not jeopardize your well-being.”

Recognizing Shen Jun’s genuine concern, Wen Nian understood his perspective. Although she didn’t fully agree, she chose not to argue and nodded earnestly. “Understood.”

Wen Nian approached Shen Gang and requested his assistance in finding a reputable orthopedic hospital in the vicinity. Shen Gang promptly arranged for her to undergo a scan, receive appropriate medical treatment, and have a cast applied to her injury. By the time the procedures were completed, it was already dawn.

As they exited the hospital, Wen Nian glanced with concern at Shen Jun’s injured hand, which was hanging loosely. “You don’t need to accompany me. I’ll take a taxi. Go home quickly and get some rest.”

Despite the fatigue evident on his face from staying awake the entire night, Shen Jun was determined not to let Wen Nian walk alone, regardless of the circumstances. The situation involving Zhang Lin had left him feeling somewhat uneasy, causing him to choose brevity in his response. “If you don’t want me to send you back to the hotel, then we’ll both stand here.”

Wen Nian had no choice but to allow Shen Jun to send her back to the hotel.

Wen Nian sensed that if she didn’t stop Shen Jun, Shen Jun would stubbornly insist on accompanying her all the way to the bed. She halted Shen Jun at the entrance. “You’re already inside the room. There’s no need to worry. Go back and get some sleep already!”

Reluctantly, Shen Jun gazed at Wen Nian, his concern evident in his expression. He reminded her with worry, “Alright, 1’11 head back now. Remember to give me a call when you wake up.”

Wen Nian smiled with a hint of helplessness and stood on her tiptoes, gently pulling Shen Jun’s head down. She placed a soft kiss on the tip of his nose. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to reach out to you when I wake up and before I leave. I will tell you everything I do.”

“No, my phone and bag are still with Zhang Lin!”

Shen Jun looked at Wen Nian’s chattering mouth. He pressed Wen Nian against the back of the door and lowered his head to kiss her. The kiss between the two of them was more passionate and crazy than before.

After a while, the two of them leaned their heads against each other and looked at each other.

Wen Nian’s face burned from the desire in Shen Jun’s eyes. She had totally forgotten about her phone.

She gently nudged Shen Jun’s shoulder and said coquettishly, “Will your parents be worried if you didn’t go home for the entire night?”

Shen Jun observed Wen Nian’s blushing face and couldn’t help but chuckle. He affectionately kissed the top of her head and released his embrace. “Actually, 1 made up an excuse yesterday to avoid going home tonight, so 1 can stay here with you.”

After proposing the idea, Shen Jun realized how appealing it sounded. He gazed at Wen Nian with a slightly pitiful expression. “Nian Nian, I’m feeling really tired now. My hand is also aching a bit. 1 would love to lie down and rest.”

Shen Jun had so much energy when they were kissing. However, when the time came for him to depart, he suddenly insisted on the immediate need to rest.

Wen Nian found herself torn between laughter and sympathy, her heart aching for Shen Jun’s injury. Unable to resist his pleading gaze and noticing the fatigue evident in his dark circles, she couldn’t bring herself to reject him once more. “Alright, go inside and lie down now.”

Shen Jun immediately hurried into the room, followed by Wen Nian.

Before getting into bed, Shen Jun said, “Nian Nian, I want to take a shower. Why don’t you help me scrub my back?”

Wen Nian lifted the blanket and looked at Shen Jun mercilessly. “I’ll give you two choices. One, go to bed, or two, go back to your own house to sleep.”

Shen Jun immediately took off his shoes and went to bed. “What about you? You didn’t sleep last night either.”

Wen Nian looked at Shen Jun’s honest expression, which rarely happened, and explained, “1 can wrap up after filming for half a day today. 1’11 catch up on my sleep when I come back.”

Seeing that Shen Jun had not taken off his clothes, Wen Nian knew that it was inconvenient for him. And so, she helped him take off his cotton shirt and pants.

Shen Jun was still wearing long undergarment. He felt a little embarrassed and the tips of his ears turned slightly red.

Suppressing her laughter, Wen Nian assisted Shen Jun in settling down on the bed, taking care to do so slowly and with gentleness. She tenderly pulled the blanket over him, ensuring he was comfortable. As she glanced at his wide, innocent eyes, she proceeded to draw the curtains, instantly enveloping the room in darkness.

Wen Nian covered Shen Jun’s eyes with her hand and said softly, “Hurry up and sleep.”

In the darkness created by Wen Nian, Shen Jun blinked twice. “Can you wait until I fall asleep before leaving?”

Wen Nian felt her hand tickled by Shen Jun’s eyelashes. She whispered back, “Then hurry up and sleep..”
