"Wait...wait a minute! No, it's really not possible! I, today...I, that, that time of the month came...yes, my period!!!"

At a critical moment, the girl's trembling voice stopped the man's actions.

The man's slender fingertips hesitated.

"Period?"

In the darkness, Li Yanyan could even hear the man's cold and indifferent voice tinged with doubt.

"Just...just my menstrual cycle. You know, once a month for women. If you're not afraid, go ahead and check..."

It was precisely because of this that she dared to agree to marry into the Han family.

Han Dashao was bedridden with illness, which was her first line of defense.

She herself happened to be in a special period, which was her second line of defense.

Otherwise, she would never have easily agreed to replace Li Xuaner in marriage.

The man holding her suddenly let go of her hand and stepped back.

In the darkness, Li Yanyan's beautiful almond eyes revealed a shallow smile.

She had bet correctly!

She knew that this man wearing white gloves must have a strong obsession with cleanliness.

How could someone like him with such a strong obsession with cleanliness endure it?

Li Yanyan even curled up the corners of her lips, which were visible through the gauze.

"Don't be too happy too soon."

After a moment, the man's low, hoarse voice came through.

"After this period of time passes, I will find you again to personally verify."

The locked door was easily opened.

The dim light on the corridor scattered through the open door crack at this moment.

Taking advantage of the faint light, Li Yanyan finally saw the clear face of the man who had threatened her all night.

The man was facing the light, and under his neatly trimmed black short hair, his narrow and fierce eyes were cold and merciless.

He was an excessively handsome man, with no equal in looks.

But Li Yanyan was even more certain that she had never seen him before.

She had never seen such a handsome man before...

In the moment that Li Yanyan was lost in thought, the man had already left openly.

She came back to her senses in a daze.

As soon as the man left, she immediately locked the door and turned on the room light switch.

The dark space was instantly illuminated.

Li Yanyan unconsciously looked towards the king-sized bed in the middle of the room.

She didn't know if Mr. Han had been awakened by the noise.

If her new husband, who was bedridden and unable to move, had heard something.

Would he suspect that she really had something with that man...

As soon as Li Yanyan's gaze swept over the edge of the bed, she froze.

The wide bed was covered with festive red bedding.

But the bed was neat and tidy, with no signs of anyone having slept in it.

Strange, the old butler had clearly said that this was Mr. Han's room.

And that rumored Mr. Han had long been bedridden and his life was in danger.

Why was there no trace of a person on the bed?

Where did her husband go!!!???

Li Yanyan was worried and searched everywhere in the room, even the bathroom.

Although she was skeptical, after a day of tossing and turning, Li Yanyan was too tired and worried that the strange man would come back.

Li Yanyan put on her wedding dress and sat alone on the sofa, clutching her collar and keeping watch all night.

The next morning, Li Yanyan got up and went downstairs. She saw the old butler, who had been waiting downstairs with great respect since last night.

"Good morning, Miss. These gifts were ordered by the old master specifically for you and the young master's return today. The old master is currently abroad and cannot come back for the time being. He asked us to tell you that from now on, this place is your home."

Li Yanyan did not expect that even though the old master of the Han family was not present, he had thought so thoughtfully for her.

No one from the Han family appeared at the wedding yesterday, and she thought that the Han family did not attach much importance to this marriage.

Although she had never met the old master of the Han family, Li Yanyan's impression of him had improved.

"Shall I wait for the young master?" Li Yanyan asked tentatively.

Last night, she had not seen her new husband all night.

But she didn't want to ask the butler directly, in case she was suspected of something.

"Oh, the young master said he was tired last night and won't come down for breakfast. Miss, may I remind you that the young master's health is not ordinary. As his wife, you should take good care of him."

The old butler's expression was serious, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with saying such things.

Li Yanyan: ...

Take care of him?

She hasn't even seen him, how can she take care of him?

Li Yanyan didn't explain much: "Since the young master is weak, just tell him. I'll go back alone later."

Li Family.

"Oh, Li Yanyan... You can still come back alive? I thought today's welcoming banquet would turn into a funeral. I can't believe it, your luck is pretty good, even the cursed lone star couldn't kill you!"

As soon as Li Yanyan stepped into the Li Family's door, she heard a hostile voice coming from inside.

She raised her eyebrows lightly and looked up.

Many familiar faces were sitting on the sofa in the Li Family's living room.

The person who had just spoken sarcastically was Wang Chunfang, the biological mother of her stepmother, Ruan Yu.

Li Yanyan's eyes, revealed outside the medical gauze, were slightly cold.

All the people who had bullied her mother and grandfather were here.

In the future, she would make sure that they all received the punishment they deserved, an eye for an eye!

"Why aren't you talking? Don't think that marrying the young master of the Han Family makes you superior. Don't forget, everyone in Haicheng knows that you married a sickly man, no one will take you seriously!"

Wang Chunfang deliberately acted old and sold herself, picking at Li Yanyan.

Li Yanyan couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her. She lowered her eyes slightly in front of everyone, showing a shy and timid posture.

"I'm sorry for keeping everyone waiting. It's just that the young master... didn't want me to leave, so I came a little late today."

"What?"

"You mean you and the young master of the Han family last night? He... he couldn't even get out of bed because of his illness. How is that possible? He's cured?"

Ren Yu's mother, Wang Chunfang, couldn't hide her emotions and immediately asked when she heard Li Yanyan's words.

The others also had a shocked and gossipy expression.

Li Yanyan lowered her eyes timidly, her thick and curly eyelashes fluttering slightly, looking embarrassed and unable to speak.

"Um." She nodded lightly after hesitating for a long time, biting her lip.

"The young master Han is quite good... Oh, by the way, the old master specially asked me to bring a gift for our family. I forgot to bring it in just now, I'll go get it."

After Li Yanyan finished speaking, she turned around and left.

"Ren Yu, what's going on? Didn't you say that the young master Han didn't have much time left to live, and if our daughter marries him, she'll be a widow? Why isn't Li Yanyan like that now?"

Wang Chunfang immediately turned to her daughter Ren Yu and questioned her after Li Yanyan left.

Everyone thought that Li Yanyan was marrying into the Han family to become a widow, and that her husband might die any day.

Who would have thought that on the first day of her return to the Han family, she would look like someone who was highly valued by the Han family and the young master Han.

Ren Yu was also puzzled: "I don't know, it shouldn't be like this. Everyone said that the young master Han, Han Cangyan, was terminally ill, how could he suddenly get better?"

If only I had known that the young master of the Han family was not a dying waste.

This is such a good marriage, it should have been their family's Xuan'er!

"Enough, why are you two talking about this in front of so many children! If you can't speak properly, then shut up!" Mrs. Li impatiently interrupted Ruan Yu and Wang chunfang.

Ruan Yu's sister-in-law, Li Lanzhi, heard this and covered her mouth with a smile: "Sister-in-law, it's because they saw that Han Yanyan was not killed by the Han family's lone star. Now she is jealous and wants Li Xuan'er to marry again instead of Han Yanyan."

Upon hearing her sister-in-law's mockery, Ruan Yu's delicately drawn face turned almost red with anger.

Meanwhile, Li Xuan'er, who was standing next to her, felt an even deeper sense of jealousy.

The position of the Han family's young mistress should have been hers.

It was all because her mother had gotten the wrong information that Han Yanyan had taken advantage of it.

"Oh, come and help me, there are too many gifts for me to carry."

When Li Yanyan reappeared carrying a large pile of gifts, Li Xuan'er's face instantly fell.

What...what are these gifts? Where did Li Yanyan get so many valuable things from?
