Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

She had never met this man before, but why, then, had she dreamed of him?

Li Xiaoyao, with a calm and steady face, feigned a puzzled expression and asked, "Do you know me?"

The woman\'s beautiful eyes were fixed on Li Xiaoyao, but all she saw in his eyes was confusion.

Could it be that she was just dreaming?

Yet the dream felt too real, didn\'t it?

The woman\'s gaze instinctively shifted towards Li Xiaoyao.

Seeing her eyes glance his way, Li Xiaoyao quickly turned and yelled toward the door, "Brother Zhang, sister-in-law is awake."

"Creak!"

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Officer Zhang and Zhu Xiaoyue stepped into the room, one after the other.

Officer Zhang saw the woman sitting on the bed, his eyes instantly reddened, and he moved step by step towards the bedside, his voice trembling, "Qinglian, is it really you?"

Ye Qinglian was the woman\'s name.

It had to be said, the name suited her perfectly.

This woman was as pure as a lotus.

"Zhang Jianguo?" Ye Qinglian looked at Officer Zhang, first frowning and uttering the name, then followed by demanding sharply, "Where am I?"

This question confused both Li Xiaoyao and Zhu Xiaoyue. They thought to themselves, aren\'t you spouses? Why ask such a silly question?

Zhu Xiaoyue explained from the side, "Sister-in-law, this is Brother Zhang\'s home, where he has taken care of you during the year you\'ve been unconscious."

"Sister-in-law?" Hearing this title, Ye Qinglian\'s eyes immediately narrowed to slits, and she said coldly, "Zhang Jianguo, you\'d better explain to me clearly what this is all about!"

Zhang Jianguo\'s forehead was dripping with sweat. He touched his forehead and said to Li Xiaoyao and the others, who looked puzzled, "You two go out first."

Ye Qinglian snorted and said, "Don\'t move, today you\'re going to make it clear to me—when did I become your wife?"

What?

These two aren\'t husband and wife?

Li Xiaoyao looked at Zhang Jianguo with an odd expression, then turned to Zhu Xiaoyue. But Zhu Xiaoyue was also completely bewildered at this moment.

Li Xiaoyao coughed twice and added, "Brother Zhang, the sister-in-law has just woken up and might not remember many things. Be patient and explain things properly to her; we\'ll head back first."

Having said this, Li Xiaoyao was about to leave with Zhu Xiaoyue, but Ye Qinglian would not let them go.

"Stay right there," Ye Qinglian called out. Then she got out of bed and stared intently at Zhang Jianguo, her frown growing deeper as she said, "Zhang Jianguo, I\'m asking you something—are you deaf? Can\'t you hear?"

Zhang Jianguo suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "Qinglian, you were injured at that time, and the doctors diagnosed you with brain death. But I couldn\'t just watch you lying there in a coma and do nothing. So, I decided to take care of you. Even if you never woke up, I would still do it."

"Bastard, who needs you to take care of them? I sacrificed for my country; the country will take care of me. Who needs you to meddle?" Ye Qinglian was so angry her pretty face turned red as she said, "Zhang Jianguo, let me tell you, don\'t think that just because you took care of me while I was in a coma for a year, I would like you. You\'re dreaming."

After dropping those words, Ye Qinglian stepped right out the door, and a few seconds later, there was a loud slamming sound from outside.

"Big Brother Zhang, don\'t be angry, my sister-in-law just woke up and her emotions can easily become agitated; it\'s all normal," Li Xiaoyao said to comfort him, but inside he felt a small surge of happiness.

For some reason, when Li Xiaoyao learned that they weren\'t officially husband and wife, he actually felt a sense of relief.

Perhaps it was because he had the most intimate physical contact with Ye Qinglian.

"This matter is indeed my fault too, I didn\'t seek her consent before bringing her back home to take care of her. I had already guessed she would react this way today; after all, she is that kind of woman," Zhang Jianguo suddenly took a deep breath and, with a slight smile of relief on his face, said, "I have repaid what I owed her, and from now on, we owe nothing to each other anymore, Li Xiaoyao, thank you!"

Li Xiaoyao asked with some surprise, "Big Brother Zhang, don\'t you have feelings for my sister-in-law?"

Zhang Jianguo shook his head, then nodded, saying, "I do like her, but more than that, I feel guilty. After all, she took a bullet for me back then, which is why I brought her back home and have been taking care of her. But I know, she has no feelings for me, and now that she has woken up, naturally there won\'t be any more marital relationship between us."

Alright, so Zhang Jianguo had been caring for her all this year because of this responsibility.

"Squeak!"

The door opened again, and all three turned their heads to see Ye Qinglian standing at the doorstep.

Ye Qinglian\'s gaze landed directly on Li Xiaoyao and said, "Come out with me."

"What? Me?" Li Xiaoyao looked puzzled.

Ye Qinglian\'s eyebrow raised, "Was I not clear enough?"

Perhaps because he had seen Ye Qinglian\'s body, Li Xiaoyao felt somewhat weak at heart; he nodded repeatedly and said, "Very clear, very clear."

Li Xiaoyao followed Ye Qinglian out of the house, with Ye Qinglian leading the way and Li Xiaoyao falling half a step behind.

Seeing that Li Xiaoyao didn\'t catch up, Ye Qinglian simply stopped and turned to face him.

Li Xiaoyao was startled by her sudden movement and took two steps back, meeting her gaze.

"Are you afraid of me?" Ye Qinglian\'s eyes probed as if trying to see through Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao coughed and said with an awkward smile, "Why would I be afraid of you?"

Ye Qinglian asked, "Was it you who woke me up?"

"Hmm." Li Xiaoyao knew denial was futile and admitted openly.

"I just had a strange dream. In the dream, there was a man who said he would take me out," Ye Qinglian asked as she gazed toward Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao looked so nervous that he could only crack a goofy smile, but did not speak.

"Dreams are all illusory; you\'ve been in a coma for a year, having dreams is normal, not having them would be abnormal."

With a mysterious smile, Ye Qinglian\'s eyebrows raised, "Is that so? But, I dreamt of you in my dream, how strange is that?"

Li Xiaoyao withdrew into himself and said, "From a scientific standpoint, that\'s impossible, because we had not met before. Of course, from a physiological standpoint, it could be possible, after all you were unconscious for a year and certain needs have to be met. So, dreaming of a man is very normal. As for you feeling like you dreamt of me, it might be because the first thing you saw when you opened your eyes was me, so you subconsciously connected me to the man in your dream."

Ye Qinglian\'s cheeks turned red for a moment; this jerk, is he teasing me?

But that dream just now was so real. Stay connected through empire
