Qiao Xuan’s eyes widened, and she froze in place. Shao Yunduan leaned in and tenderly kissed her lips. It was as if he was concerned that the handprint on her face might cause her pain, so he kissed her with utmost care and gentleness.

He pressed his cool lips against hers and then released her.

Qiao Xuan’s cheeks turned crimson.

She lowered her head, unable to meet his gaze. It was such a humiliating situation! A surprise attack! It felt improper!

Observing her head lowered, her ears tinged with a blush, and her neck adorned with a faint layer of redness, Shao Yunduan felt a sense of satisfaction. So his wife could become shy so easily? What would she do in the future?

As he pondered this, a burning sensation surged in his heart.

Recalling the tenderness of their kiss, Shao Yunduan’s eyes narrowed. He grasped Qiao Xuan’s hands and spoke softly, “You mustn’t behave like this anymore. I won’t allow it.”

Shao Yunduan was consumed by anger, thinking about how Qiao Xuan could have evaded Qiao Hongxi’s slap. She wouldn’t have been subjected to such a harsh blow from him.

But she didn’t even attempt to dodge it. It was as if she purposely let herself be slapped.

Qiao Xuan was taken aback. She turned to face him.

Shao Yunduan grew exasperated, yet he couldn’t help but chuckle. He pinched her cheeks gently. “You have to stay away from doing that!”

Qiao Xuan blinked and averted her gaze, offering a smile. “Oh, you caught me! I was planning to dodge it, but I thought getting slapped would make it more convincing!”

Shao Yunduan remained silent as he gazed at her.

Qiao Xuan was quickly defeated. “Alright, alright, I’ll dodge it next time!”

“I don’t need your pity. I don’t need your pity anymore!” Qiao Xuan exclaimed, her voice filled with determination.

Qiao Xuan’s words warmed her heart. She nodded in acknowledgment. “Understood!”

Despite her inner happiness, when she smiled, she inadvertently moved the corner of her mouth too much, causing a twinge of pain from her wound. Shao Yunduan, who had been smiling back at her, grew alarmed once again. “Does it hurt? Just endure it a little longer! Songshi, why are you driving so slowly? Hurry!”

With urgency, Shao Yunduan guided Qiao Xuan into the clinic, calling out for a doctor. His anxious tone startled the doctor, who assumed a highly important patient had arrived, and greeted them with utmost seriousness.

However, upon seeing Shao Yunduan’s request for a diagnosis of Qiao Xuan’s facial injury, the doctor became tongue-tied. He glared at him and muttered, “It’s just a superficial wound, isn’t it? Take a bottle of ointment home, apply it a few times, and there won’t be any trace left. What’s the point of making a fuss?”

Shao Yunduan couldn’t believe it. “Is that really enough? Look at her swollen face, it’s a serious injury. Shouldn’t you prescribe additional medicine?”

The doctor glared back. “…”

Feeling humiliated, Qiao Xuan kicked Shao Yunduan and spoke to the doctor. “Just ignore him. He’s intoxicated and speaking nonsense. Please give us some ointment.”

Shao Yunduan was about to say something when Qiao Xuan shot him a glare, silencing him.

Yet, she still felt nervous as she observed Qiao Xuan.
