Chu Lian was momentarily stunned by the big bearded man's angry roar. Her body seemed to have frozen, and she didn't dare to move. However, in the next second, she strangely felt the concern in the big bearded man's cold words.

Chu Lian blinked her clear eyes. She wasn't someone who didn't know how to appreciate favors. Since he was taking the initiative to help her, she wouldn't just be asking for trouble if she refused.

At this moment, the two of them were very close. Chu Lian could see his thick and long eyelashes.

Why did a man have such long eyelashes!

Although half of his face was covered by the beard, she could still make out the delicate outline of his face, especially the side of his face. The lines were perfect, the long and narrow eyes, the high bridge of his nose, and the thin and slightly pale lips.

This time, Chu Lian was a bit more interested in his true appearance without the beard.

After He Sanlang restrained Chu Lian with one hand, he bent over and forcefully pried open the animal trap that was holding her ankle. He then took her slender little foot out of the animal trap.

He Sanlang coldly said with an expressionless face, "Why aren't you yelling about how men and women shouldn't touch each other?"

Chu Lian saw that his movements were very careful, and she had a good impression of him. However, his words instantly caused her to collapse.

Her face was completely red, but she couldn't say that he was wrong. She was indeed too unreasonable, but if this big bearded man didn't provoke her with his cold words, she wouldn't have lost control of herself!

He Changdi saw that her face was completely red from holding back her anger, and her clear eyes had become watery. She looked like a little deer begging for love. This vicious woman must be holding back her anger, but she couldn't find an excuse to refute him. Suddenly, his mood became better, and the cold expression on his face melted a bit.

He Sanlang looked at Chu Lian, who was sitting on the dead tree branch. She was slightly pouting, and she was sulking by herself. His gaze swept over her injured ankle, and he was startled. Suddenly, he squatted down with his back facing her.

Chu Lian saw his strange movements from the corner of her eyes, and she retreated a bit, saying, "What are you doing!"

He Sanlang's deep eyes swept over her, and he said calmly, "Come up."

Come up?

Where to?

Chu Lian saw his broad back and suddenly realized that he was going to carry her back?

Her cheeks that had yet to recede were once again dyed bright red. If this happened in the modern era, it would not be a big deal. At most, she would be happy to help others. However, this was the Great Wu Dynasty!

The most intimate time she and her husband, He Sanlang, had been sleeping on the same bed, and they hadn't even shared the same bed.

How was it possible for her to lie on the back of a stranger!

And … Moreover, this bearded man always had a gloomy expression on his face. He didn't look like a good person at all. Perhaps he was harboring some evil intentions!

Chu Lian didn't say anything, silently resisting.

He Changdi furrowed his brows. His voice was clearly starting to sound unhappy. "You don't need me to carry you?

Are you going to walk back by yourself? "

After that, he stopped squatting and stood up to stare at Chu Lian condescendingly.

Chu Lian was extremely embarrassed. Every time this bearded man spoke, he made people feel inexplicably angry. She cursed him to be "destined to be single forever".

She tried to stand up on her own. Perhaps it was because her ankle injury was more serious, but as soon as she stood up, she swayed to the side and fell back to the ground in a sorry state. Chu Lian was extremely dispirited. Right now, she couldn't use any strength in her right leg at all.

"You want to walk back by yourself in this state?"

He Sanlang sneered. "You have two choices. Stay here and feed the wild beasts, or obediently let me carry you back."

Chu Lian was the kind of person who could be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force. Furthermore, she had a sense of pride in her bones.

As the saying went, it was easier to change a leopard than a leopard. If He Sanlang had talked to her nicely, she definitely wouldn't have been an inflexible person. However, the more he stabbed her, the more stubborn she became.

As soon as she raised her head, she saw the man in front of her with his arms crossed in front of his chest. It was as if he couldn't do anything to her. She was infuriated!

She didn't need his help today!

Was there really no way back other than asking someone to carry her?

She puffed her cheeks. "I'll just let the wild beasts take advantage of me!"

Hearing her reply, He Sanlang's eyes were about to spit fire!

If it had been one of his subordinates in front of him right now, he would have already kicked them. However, the person in front of him was Chu Lian!

Originally, he was in a good mood and wanted to be considerate so that she wouldn't have to suffer so much. This damned woman really refused a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.

He Changdi's eyes darkened, and the words that came out of his mouth were even more piercing. He laughed mockingly. "Don't you think it's a little too late to be so eager to talk about keeping a distance between men and women?

We've already slept together last night!

Don't forget where you woke up this morning. "

Chu Lian didn't expect this bearded man to say such shameless words in front of her. She was extremely angry and retorted before she could think through her words. "I thought that He Sanlang was already shameless and cold enough, but you … you're actually even more shameless than him!"

After she said that, Chu Lian realized what she had said and felt extremely regretful.

What was wrong with her? Why did she become so angry after interacting with this bearded man in front of her? Furthermore, she didn't even think through her words before speaking. Where had her usual calmness and composure gone?

Now that she was alone with this bearded man in the forest, if he had any ulterior motives, she would definitely be the one at a disadvantage. Furthermore, her leg was injured and she was basically a fish on the chopping board!

Chu Lian thought about it in frustration and didn't dare to look at the bearded man's expression.

She opened her mouth, wanting to apologize, but in the next second, she was lifted up and thrown onto a broad shoulder.

This action was too sudden. By the time she reacted, she was already on the bearded man's shoulder. Chu Lian's abdomen was uncomfortable from the jolting, and it was even more uncomfortable for her to be upside down.

He wrapped one arm around Chu Lian's knees and the other hand held her ankle. He even warned her coldly, "Don't move, or I'll throw you out like this."

Because Chu Lian was hung upside down by him, her originally fair little face was flushed red, and even her ears were completely red.

She struggled and hit his back with both hands. "You … Put me down!

You're playing!

If … If my husband finds out, he'll definitely chop off your arms and legs! "

Chu Lian's small arms and legs were no different from scratching an itch in front of the slender and strong He Sanlang. He snorted coldly, "Woman, you have no principles at all. Didn't you just scold your husband for being shameless and cruel?"

Chu Lian was rendered speechless by this sentence. She could only struggle harder to resist.

He Changdi really couldn't bear it anymore. Why was this vicious woman so good at causing trouble? Just now, he had carried her on his shoulder in a fit of anger. So this was how he was in her heart?

Shameless?

Cold?

Ha!

Alright!

How could he compare to the gentle and affectionate Xiao Wujing!

She probably didn't know that she was scolding the same person in one sentence!

He Changdi was annoyed by Chu Lian's kicks and hits. Adding on to the fact that the poison in his body had not been cleared, his body was still in an extremely uncomfortable state.

No matter what, Chu Lian was his wife now. She had no right to say no to how he wanted to treat her!
