I am born a beauty, and I am supreme

Chapter 181

Chu Zhen held her hand tightly: "Don't worry, you're in the Military Affairs Bureau. Everything is alright now."

Staring at her still somewhat pale face, he turned and asked, "Imperial Physician, why are her hands still so cold?"

Upon hearing the question, the imperial physician hurriedly stepped forward to take Tang Leyan's pulse again, then said, "Your Excellency need not worry, the young master's pulse has returned to normal. As for his temperature, it will probably return to normal in a while..."

"Alright, alright, I understand." Chu Zhen, impatient to listen any longer, waved her hand. The imperial physicians, as if granted a pardon, hurriedly left.

Tang Leyan pressed her hand against the bed, trying to sit up. Unexpectedly, she released her protective energy, allowing the chilling energy to seep into her body, causing her to suffer considerable injury. She couldn't help but lose strength and almost fell back onto the bed.

Chu Zhen reacted quickly and helped her up from the side: "You're only just getting better, don't push yourself."

Tang Leyan looked at Chu Zhen, who was so close to her. Seeing the trace of haggardness on his face, she felt a little sorry for him. But when she thought that she had resorted to this desperate measure because he had forced her, she couldn't help but have tears well up in her eyes.

Seeing that her face was as white as paper, her hands were ice-cold, and her eyes were red, making her look pitiful, Chu Zhen felt embarrassed to say anything more. He held her hand and said, "Le Yan, focus on getting better first. We can talk about the rest later, okay?"

Tang Leyan lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes. She sniffed and asked, "Are Uncle Zhen saying these things as an elder to Leyan, or...?"

Chu Zhen's body trembled, but she remained silent.

Tang Leyan looked up at him, her misty eyes trembling with tears that were about to fall.

Chu Zhen stared at those eyes so close to his own, his heart filled with indescribable shock.

"Leyan..." he began with difficulty, but he didn't know what to say.

Should I follow my heart and refuse, or should I take care of the child and temporarily compromise with her?

However, if she were to give in, she would inevitably fall even deeper into her obsession, and she might never be able to extricate herself from it, and all her previous convictions might vanish into thin air.

For a moment, I was torn between my conscience and my own mind, unsure of what attitude to take.

Tang Leyan felt a chill in her heart when she saw the hesitation on his face.

Judging from his expression, he clearly looked troubled.

More likely, it's because they understand she's ill that they don't dare to directly refuse.

Despite all her hard work and efforts, she still couldn't win his genuine affection.

I'm not resigned to this; I'm not resigned to being just some random junior.

Besides, he was the one she had chosen; how could she let him go?

From childhood to adulthood, she had been invincible, getting whatever she wanted, and had never been turned away like this before, never failing. Although she was sincere towards Chu Zhen, and always appeared innocent and charming in his presence, there was a dark side to her personality. Now, provoked by Chu Zhen's hesitant attitude, she couldn't help but unleash the ruthlessness deep within her.

Ever since that drinking session with the Imperial Guards and the Nine Gates generals at the restaurant yesterday, wicked thoughts had unknowingly crept into her mind. Although she found those words horrifying at the time, she had unconsciously come to agree with them. The shout that Shi Shu heard her shout in her drunken state that day was related to this. That's why Shi Shu felt uneasy, fearing that she might do something wrong.

Raw rice has been cooked into cooked rice...

For her, it might be something she could use.

If this man is truly so heartless, if he values the generational gap more than romantic love, then the only option is to break down this barrier between them…

The hands tucked into the sleeves clenched tighter and tighter.

His whole body couldn't help but tremble.

Chu Zhen held her hand and suddenly felt that her hand was clenched into a fist and her shoulders were trembling slightly. She couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Are you cold?"

Tang Leyan was startled awake by his voice. She frowned and then whispered, "Yes, yes, it's so cold, Uncle Zhen."

Chu Zhen didn't have time to think, and opened his arms to hug her.

Tang Leyan nestled in his arms, her mind a jumble of thoughts. Although she had that idea at the time, she hadn't really thought about how to do it. She just felt that the method was too terrifying and should only be used as a last resort... But now, now should this be that last resort?

Lying in the arms of the man she admires, yet he remains oblivious and tries to distance himself from her—what does this mean?

What does this warm feeling, the feeling of being able to rely on him when I first broke into his sedan chair and clung to him, matter?

Should I just give up and leave like this?

Especially when she thought about how such a warm embrace, such a jade-like man, might one day be held by someone else, and that another woman might lean on his chest, she was going crazy.

I'm not reconciled! Absolutely not reconciled!

Tang Leyan blinked and whispered, "Uncle Zhen, I'm so cold, hold me tight, am I going to die?"

Chu Zhen's heart clenched: "Don't talk nonsense! How could you die? I'm here, my dear child, don't be afraid."

----Good boy, good boy, in your eyes, am I just a good boy?

"Uncle Zhen, I'm so scared." She instinctively hugged him, her hands tightly embracing his waist. Today... let's settle this once and for all, Chu Zhen!

----I want you to know that I'm not just an ignorant, obedient child who listens to you. Bonus chapter: The fourth chapter will be a bonus chapter for 260 pink tickets.

She wrapped her arms around his waist, feeling the long-lost warmth slowly emanating from the person beside her.

Tang Leyan closed her eyes, a slight smile appearing on her lips.

"That's perfect," she sighed contentedly.

Chu Zhen lowered her eyes and said, "Yes, don't be afraid." She patted Chu Zhen's shoulder gently.

Tang Leyan smiled and said, "Yes, I'm not afraid." She leaned forward slightly, pressing herself close to him.

Chu Zhen only felt her body shiver slightly for a moment, and assumed she was uneasy, so he just held her tightly, feeling an indescribable pity in his heart.

He'll do anything for her as long as she gets better, just please, he mustn't cause the child any more harm because of something he did wrong.

He sighed, feeling her face brush against his chest, and couldn't help but lower his head, resting his chin on the top of her head.

Tang Leyan raised her head slightly, her breath brushing against Chu Zhen's neck.

She gazed at the snow-white neck so close to her, and could clearly hear her own heart pounding.

"Uncle Zhen, do you like me?" she asked.

Chu Zhen hesitated for a moment before answering, "Yes."

"But I don't want Uncle Zhen to treat me like a junior."

"Leyan..." he called out, finally saying, "You will understand someday."

"I don't care what happens in the future, and I don't know. All I know is that I like you now, I like you so much," she said, putting one hand around his neck.

Chu Zhen awkwardly looked away. He swallowed hard and said, "Le Yan, you're too willful."

"Weren't you very tolerant of my willfulness back then? If I can be willful one more time, what's wrong with you tolerating it one more time?"

“Leyan,” he said with difficulty, “loving the wrong person is a painful thing, and I don’t want you to… regret it.”

"You're not me, how do you know I'll regret it?" Tang Leyan was taken aback, then asked loudly, "Besides, even if I regret it, it's my own business, and I won't blame you for anything."

Chu Zhen shook her head: "I'm older than you, so I have to take responsibility for you."

"Take responsibility?" she scoffed. "I don't want anyone to take responsibility for me; I'm responsible for myself. And you, you're just afraid!"

Chu Zhen was annoyed: "I didn't, I was just doing it for your own good."

"You pushed me away time and time again. Was it all for my own good?" she asked.

Chu Zhen thought for a moment and said, "You're still young, while I..."

"What do you think! I like you, who dares to say anything about you!"

She pouted and said defiantly, one arm around him. Her other hand reached over, from his chest to the buttons of his collar.

Chu Zhen, who was listening to her childish words and smiling wryly, noticed her movement. She called out, "Le Yan? You..."

"Uncle Zhen," she called out, almost coquettishly, "let me hug you."

Chu Zhen agreed, but felt her fingers groping around below her collar. Looking down, it seemed as if she was unbuttoning her clothes.

Chu Zhenxin jumped: "Le Yan, what are you doing?"

"You promised you'd let me hug you," she whispered. "You can't go back on your word, you can't take it back."

"I..." Chu Zhen was anxious and reached out to grab her fidgeting hand: "You just woke up, don't move around."

"I want you to stay with me!" Her voice carried an unexpected stubbornness.

Chu Zhen was stunned. Tang Leyan held his waist with one hand and placed the other hand across his chest, pressing down hard and pinning Chu Zhen halfway down on the bed.

Chu Zhen was shocked: "Le Yan! What's wrong with you...?"

“Uncle Zhen…” She leaned half her body against his chest, looking down at him, “Do you know what I’m going to do?” Her eyes were full of tender affection as she gazed at him.

Chu Zhen's mind went blank. All he could see were her watery eyes, sparkling with a strange light. He had always thought of her as just an immature child, but now he realized that she also had such a charming and alluring side. One of her hands moved from his chest to his neck, her soft fingers gently touching his neck. Her fingers unbuttoned the buttons on his collar, and the gesture was somewhat provocative.

"Le Yan!" Chu Zhen exclaimed in shock, suddenly realizing what was happening. He grabbed her hand and asked in a trembling voice, "What...what are you doing?"

“I want you,” she said. She smiled slightly and took his hand in hers.

Chu Zhen noticed that her palms were hot, unlike the coldness they had just felt.

“You…you’s illness…you…” he said in a hoarse voice.

"I've gone to great lengths to get you to look at me more, Uncle Zhen," she said, smiling slightly, her eyes half-closed, the corners of her eyes trailing long, carrying a hint of allure.

Chu Zhen was stunned.

For him?

For him, she actually resorted to these self-harming methods? Last time she was faking illness, this time it's real, but either way, it was self-inflicted. No, no, that's not the point. The point is now…

What is she going to do?

He couldn't believe it.

But what she's doing is making him believe.

Chu Zhen was in a panic. She struggled violently, pushed her away, jumped off the bed, and angrily shouted, "Le Yan! Don't do anything reckless!"

"I'm going to do something reckless!" she said loudly as he left, and then jumped off the bed.

The snow-white socks touched the ground, and Chu Zhen saw them at a glance. She couldn't help but soften her voice again: "Hurry up and lie down, the ground is cold."

"You care about me so much, yet you say you don't love me?" she asked, walking over step by step.

Chu Zhen was intimidated by her imposing manner and took a step back, her voice hoarse: "I'm just concerned about you, it's not about romantic love. You... hurry up and behave, don't be silly."

“I’m not being unreasonable, but I won’t listen to you either,” she said, pressing further. “I’ll behave, but only after you accept me!”
