Chapter 12 What Relationship

Meimei whimpered in grievance when she heard her owner scolding her. Reluctantly, she lifted her front paw, then, with a leap, jumped beside Li Yeqi and started circling him.

Yan Luoxi was so frightened that she turned pale, and only after the fluffy dog's head had disappeared did her heartbeat return to normal.

Li Yeqi had an icy expression, his piercing gaze swept toward the Husky. Feeling guilty, the Husky lowered its head and silently walked to one side.

It sat on the ground with its front paws stacked together, looking like a wronged little princess, its dog head drooping slightly.

Li Yeqi ignored its attempt to act cute, strode over, and knelt on one knee in front of Yan Luoxi. He reached out to help her up, his sexy voice resounding in the empty night, "Are you hurt?"

Yan Luoxi shook her head, feeling the man's scorching breath on her face. Their proximity was too intimate and she promptly pushed him away, trying to sit up.

A piercing pain shot through the back of her head, making her cry out softly.

The next second, she fell back into the man's arms, the pain fogging her entire mind.

"I'm taking you to the hospital," Li Yeqi's eyes tightened, and he picked her up horizontally, rushed down the steps, and, carrying her, arrived next to the SUV parked in the yard, stuffing her into the passenger seat.

Yan Luoxi hurriedly clutched at his clothes' hem, "No need, I'm fine. A good sleep will do."

With her current identity, being spotted entering a hospital with a strange man in the dead of night would lead to paparazzi snapping photos, and tomorrow they might spread scandals about her getting an abortion.

So, it's better to avoid making matters worse.

Li Yeqi frowned, his rough hand gripping her wrist firmly, and without a change in expression, he removed her hand. His cool voice dissipated into the night, "You got hurt on my territory, I won't be at ease unless I take you to the hospital."

Yan Luoxi looked up and saw the stubbornness and persistence deep in the cold and overbearing man's eyes, knowing that once this man made up his mind, it wouldn't be easily swayed by others.

"Then please find a highly confidential hospital. You know celebrities have little privacy."

Li Yeqi nodded elegantly and got into the car.

Seeing the Husky whimpering pitifully on the steps, his voice was indifferent, "Stay there, daddy is taking sister to the hospital."

Li Yeqi took out his phone and made a call. He issued a few instructions, and Yan Luoxi, feeling drowsy, did not catch them clearly.

The blow to the head she took when she hit the floor was pretty bad; she might have at least a minor concussion.

Yan Luoxi murmured unconsciously, "You're so handsome and refined, how can your dog be so ferocious?"

Li Yeqi turned his head to look at her, and even in the dim light, his eyes held a non-smiling gleam.

Her logic was flawed—just because he was good-looking, did it mean his dog should be gentle?

Li Yeqi drove to the hospital, where Mou Chenyi was waiting in the underground parking lot. Seeing him carrying a woman, Mou Chenyi was taken aback, "Yeqi, you've changed your ways, actually having a woman now."

Li Yeqi cast him an indifferent glance and carried Yan Luoxi straight into the elevator.

Mou Chenyi hurried after them, eyeing the woman in his arms. The arc formed by his thin lips carried a hint of roguishness, "Just seeing this profile is a perfect side-face killer; no wonder you couldn't restrain yourself and fell for her."

"Is everything ready?"

"You can count on me," Mou Chenyi patted his chest as a promise.

"Ding," the elevator arrived, and Li Yeqi carried Yan Luoxi with large strides out of it and placed her on the hospital bed. Mou Chenyi caught a full view of her face and was so shocked that his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

"How is it her?"

Li Yeqi elegantly slid his hands into his pockets, "Yes, it's her, do you know her?"

"Of course, I know her!" Mou Chenyi pointed at her excitedly. "She is Sweet Niu's best friend. Just yesterday, the two of them took a set of bestie photos that caused a stir throughout the city. Even if she turned to ashes, I would still recognize her."

Mou Chenyi lived door to door with Tian Lingyun's family and had been engaged to her since they were kids, but the two had never seen eye to eye and were never on the same page.

Li Yeqi frowned slightly, "She just took a fall and might have a mild concussion. You take her for an examination."

Mou Chenyi looked at him. The man's clean and handsome features were quite indifferent, but the more subdued he was, the more Mou felt alarmed.

There was definitely something going on!

Clearly, now was not the right time to ask questions, so he directed the nurses to take Yan Luoxi into the examination room.

Seeing the real-life version of Yan Luoxi lying on the hospital bed, the nurse became so thrilled she was almost incoherent. "Doctor Mou, isn't that the Yan Luoxi from TV? Wow, her skin is so nice in person."

The nurse had been smitten by Yan Luoxi's powerful photos from the day before and quickly became a fan. She had loved her TV shows before, with on-point looks and even better acting skills.

Even though she played the second female lead, she always eclipsed the main actress, winning the hearts of numerous fans.

Mou Chenyi saw the nurse reaching out to touch Yan Luoxi's face and before he could speak, he felt a chilly breeze from behind.

He looked back just in time to see a dark figure pass by, and the next second, he heard the nurse's cry of pain.

He quickly turned back and saw Li Yeqi clutching the nurse's hand, his brow and eyes coldly menacing, his voice icy as if mixed with frost, "Her face isn't something just anyone can touch."

The nurse was sweating from the pain, and looking into the man's unfathomable dark eyes, which seemed to harbor a sliver of murderous intent, her legs went weak, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, I just wanted to see how it felt."

Li Yeqi narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly released the nurse's hand. He then touched Yan Luoxi's face and earnestly clarified for the nurse, "The feel is tender, like a baby's skin, delicate to the touch."

Mou Chenyi's jaw almost dropped. Knowing Li Yeqi for many years, he had never seen him show such intense possessiveness over a woman, not even allowing the same sex a touch.

What astonished him even more was Li Yeqi's serious playboy act, which oddly hit a cute spot for Mou.

Having known him for so many years, he must have known a fake Seventh Brother.

The nurse stared at him dumbfounded. The man had a face devastatingly handsome, chaste and elegant, dignified and aristocratic, making her heartbeat race and her cheeks blush. Although Doctor Mou was already a top-tier handsome man, this guy was a limited edition among the paramount ones.

Especially how he had touched Yan Luoxi just now, as tenderly as one caresses a lover's face.

Seeing the nurse bewitched by Seventh Brother, Mou Chenyi cleared his throat, "Nurse Xu, don't space out. Take Miss Yan to the examination room."

The nurse snapped back to reality and hurriedly wheeled the bed away, while Mou Chenyi leaned in close to Li Yeqi and whispered, "Seventh Brother, later you have to be honest with me, what's your relationship with her."

"We've slept together," Li Yeqi's gaze landed on Mou Chenyi's suddenly stumbling legs as he raised an eyebrow mischievously, clearly pleased with his reaction.

Mou Chenyi felt like he was having a 'dog's day'; after years of silence, Seventh Brother had made a startling revelation.

But to hook up with a female artist was one thing, to seriously consider marriage was another—would the Li Family even agree to that?
