"Brother, I will be good to you from now on."
"I'll only be good to you, the kind of good that lasts a lifetime."
Sheng Xian chuckled lightly, his voice a bit frivolous, "Ayan, are you making a private commitment to brother for life in a roundabout way?"
Lu Jingyan nodded, murmuring a soft "Mhm" in response.
Sheng Xian had intended to tease her but now couldn't continue the teasing.
He tightened his arm around her, was silent for a long while, then bent down to kiss her hair and said in a husky voice, "Let's just say that, brother will wait for Ayan to dote on brother for a lifetime."

The day after Lu Jingyan finished removing her stitches, she returned to work at the company.
During the ten-plus days she rested, a lot of work had piled up, and previously Sheng Xian had put a considerable amount of work on hold for her. After the resolution of her injury, both she and he entered a work-heavy mode, which significantly reduced the amount of time they spent together.
