Today, she had a meeting with an implant brand for collaboration. She had already engaged with this brand previously, but as they were preparing to finalize the contract, some disagreements emerged between the parties.

The other party suddenly proposed adding new elements to the existing plan.

The designer had already produced the first draft, and the response to the first draft was very good. At this time, the other party wanted to add other things at the last minute.

It wasnt that they couldnt agree to the other partys request, but the problem was that if the outcome wasnt good and the results of the plan werent as good as expected, their money would be wasted.

Hence, it was essential to have clear communication with them beforehand.

Who would willingly choose to work overtime on a weekend?

Yet, even her boss was working overtime, so she had no reason to slack off.

After getting ready, Jin Nian descended the stairs. Lu An was already seated on the living room couch, looking like a grumpy old man.

When Jin Nian mentioned her intention to work overtime, Lu Ans displeasure was immediately evident.

You can be so heartless towards me last night, and now youre thinking of going to work overtime without even trying to appease me?

Lu An slammed his coffee cup onto the table with an audible thud, his expression turning cold. His face practically said, Im not happy right now.

He was wearing loose casual pants, but a subtle contour could be glimpsed beneath the fabric in a certain area.

Jin Nian instinctively glanced at it, only to be caught red-handed.

What are you looking at?

Jin Nian was extremely embarra.s.sed, but she couldnt control herself. The feeling of Lu An sitting on her legs last night was still in her mind.

Nothing.

He couldnt let Lu An know.

Therefore, she casually gave an ounce of excuse.

However, Lu An stood up and walked in front of her.

Why are you hiding? Im entirely yours, feel free to look.

A flush of heat spread across Jin Nians cheeks.

You, why are you so shameless, Lu An?

Im almost lost my life, why would I care about being shameless?

If he hadnt taken a cold shower last night, he wouldnt have been able to suppress that heated fervor.

How could he describe the discomfort he was experiencing?

Perhaps it was akin to being swarmed by countless tiny insects, each nibbling away at him, leaving him both irritated and unable to find relief.

Just be a human. 1 cant talk to you anymore. Jin Nian rolled her eyes at him.

Lu An responded with a half-smile and raised his injured hand. I asked you to look at my hand. Where did your thoughts wander?

Lu An!

Jin Nians frustration was turning into exasperation.

Yet, Lu An continued his playful persistence. My hand is injured, and I cant handle it alone. Even if you wont help your husband, youve gone so far as to lock me out and deny me entry.

Jin Nian simply covered her ears, pretending she couldnt hear a thing.

However, her concern for Lu Ans hand lingered in her mind.

Thinking about the information she had uncovered last night, it was imperative for Lu An to get a teta.n.u.s shot at the hospital.

You have the nerve to talk about your injuries like that? Youre sacrificing more than you gain! And you call me dumb? Honestly, youre the one being foolish.

Seeing that Lu An was still unfazed, she persisted, Dont harbor any wishful thinking. What if something happens? Regret wont do you any good then.

Teta.n.u.s shots are available for up to 24 hours. Lets get it done now.

Saying this, she took the initiative to grasp Lu Ans hand.

Listening to her nagging, especially when she took the initiative to hold his hand. The depression he had felt the whole night dissipated.

He obediently sat in the pa.s.senger seat and let Jin Nian drive.

During his final year of high school, Lu An had once fallen ill with a fever he couldnt explain. Although he was generally robust and rarely fell sick, this fever persisted for a full two days.

During that illness, Jin Nian had been just as attentive. She was there, tending to him.

She took a mercury thermometer to measure his temperature. After confirming the degree, she brought him some fever medicine.

After Lu An took the fever medicine, Jin Nian stayed by his side and wiped his sweat from time to time.

She would even prepare lemon water rich in vitamin C.

At that time, Lu An hadnt felt particularly uncomfortable. Yet, the care Jin Nian provided felt so wonderful that he wished to remain in that moment forever.

Later on, when he was overseas, he also fell sick for ounce days. Although there were people around him, none were as considerate as Jin Nian. No one prepared lemon water for him.

And no one offered him gentle guidance on how to combat the virus.

Hey, after the injection, Ill head over to the company.

Jin Nian suddenly spoke, and then added, I wont be coming to your place tonight. Its not convenient to commute from here to the office.

Also, I have a good friend who is returning to China today. Im going to welcome her tomorrow

She paused, glanced at Lu An, and inquired, Do you feel anything wrong with your body?
