Driven by curiosity, Yan Qianyi continued her investigation, only to be shocked by the discovery that he had been poisoned!
Recalling his drastic change in demeanor, was it because the poison had taken effect?
She crouched down to examine him further, and to her surprise, he nestled into her arms.
His strong, muscular arms wrapped tightly around her slender waist, his face buried in her neck as he nuzzled against her.
"You smell nice, sister... Ah Lie likes this..."
Her entire body went numb.
After a brief moment of stiffness, Yan Qianyi attempted to push him away.
Despite his lean appearance, his body was all muscle, weighing down on her like a boulder.
Having only recently awakened from a long slumber, her body hadn't fully recovered.
She had just dealt with the two perverts in the car and run for so long—now, she was utterly drained.
Ah Lie continued to nuzzle her neck, murmuring dreamily, "I want to hold sister like this every night when I sleep."
Yan Qianyi glanced down at him.
His eyes were already closed.
In the moonlight, his face was pale as paper, his long, thick lashes drooping delicately, like a perfect character from a comic book—he was simply breathtaking.
"Kid, only my husband gets to hold me like this. If you weren't so good-looking, I wouldn't let you get away with this."
She muttered to herself, assuming he had fallen asleep.
But just as the words left her lips, his eyes suddenly opened.
Those enchanting eyes, like peach blossoms, sparkled with a starlit glow as they gazed at her, a hint of confusion flickering across his face. Then his lips curved into a smile. "Okay."
Okay?
Yan Qianyi was still perplexed when he called out, "Ah Chang," summoning his virtual AI butler.
The bracelet on his wrist lit up, and a holographic figure appeared in front of them.
It was a handsome young boy, seemingly in his teens, dressed in a military uniform.
He saluted Ah Lie. "What are your orders, Master?"
Still resting in Yan Qianyi's embrace, Ah Lie replied, "Ah Chang, I want to marry her."
"Master, marriage is a lifelong commitment. Perhaps you should wait until you've fully recovered before making this decision?"
Yan Qianyi was taken aback and studied Ah Chang once more.
This AI butler was far too human-like!
It even offered its master advice.
Her own AI, Xiao Ke, wasn't nearly this advanced.
Xiao Ke simply followed her commands without question.
At last, Ah Lie lifted his head from her neck.
He looked at Ah Chang, frowning slightly, his expression fiercely adorable. "No, I want to marry her now—immediately!"
Ah Chang sighed and cast his gaze toward Yan Qianyi, his eyes sweeping over the bracelet on her wrist. "Yan Qianyi, female, age twenty, unemployed."
Yan Qianyi hastily covered her bracelet.
Ah Chang had accessed her personal information without permission!
How domineering!
Normal AI butlers didn't have such capabilities.
"Master, she's seven years younger than you—there's a generation gap," Ah Chang continued to reason with his master. "Friendly reminder: marriages with a generation gap tend not to last or be happy. Though her fertility rating is S-level, she's merely a woman capable of reproduction, which holds no real value for you. From all statistical standpoints, she's simply unworthy of you."
Yan Qianyi's stiff smile faltered.
The insult wasn't so much painful as it was incredibly humiliating!
An AI that could even dish out personal attacks—how outrageous.
Ah Lie's frown deepened, his expression turning adorably fierce once again. "I said, I want to get married!"
