Chapter 222: Thank the heroine for sparing my life

As long as Wang Zhen and those people, those matters are no longer involved, Li Jiaci can boldly carry out the next step of his plan.

To repay the great kindness of Wang Zhen saving him several times from fire and water in his previous life.

After Wang Yingna finished eating the ice pop, Li Jiaci casually helped her throw it onto the ground.

He then lay down, patted the bedside, and said: "You've been tossed around all day, you must be tired; hurry up and lie down to rest a bit!"

"Are you that sleepy?"

Wang Yingna muttered, asking.

The flame on her body hadn't completely gone out.

This guy really doesn't understand romance.

Li Jiaci gave a light chuckle twice.

"What's that little head of yours thinking about all day?"

"You just came back from the gates of hell, your wounds still need to keep having their dressing changed; what can I do for you?"

"If I hurt you later, won't your brother tear me apart?"

Could it be that he doesn't want to?

Nonsense, he's a normal guy; having such a stunning woman lying beside him, it'd be weird if he didn't want to!

But one must have principles; you can't take advantage of someone's vulnerability to do beastly things.

He has to endure.

Li Jiaci spread out one arm and said: "Lend you this arm; use it as a pillow at night, it's soft!"

"Tch, who wants it? I don't even have a pillow myself?"

Wang Yingna gave a cold snort.

She lay down with her back to him.

At first, both were fine.

Li Jiaci covered her with the blanket, then drifted off to sleep.

But in the middle of the night, he suddenly felt a bit short of breath, as if a stone were pressing on him, heavy and uncomfortable.

He opened his eyes and looked.

Good fellow.

This Wang Yingna is like an octopus, her two arms wrapped around his neck, her head buried in his neck-shoulder area, her legs directly coiled around his waist; that alone would be bad enough, but half her body is also pressing on him, no wonder his breathing is uneven!

If he had woken up any later, who knows—upon opening his eyes again, he might have already gone to the underworld.

Li Jiaci patted Wang Yingna's shoulder, breathing hurriedly, and said: "Wake up, you've got me in a headlock!"

"Don't move, I'm sleeping comfortably!"

Wang Yingna said, sticky and sweet.

She was comfortable.

Li Jiaci really couldn't take it anymore.

"Cough..."

"These skinny arms and legs, why are they so hard to undo!"

It took the strength of nine oxen and two tigers.

Li Jiaci finally managed to open a gap in her deadly lock.

He couldn't help but gulp large mouthfuls of rough air.

That was close.

He was almost suffocated to death.

The next morning.

Wang Yingna was awakened by the sound of construction outside.

Just as she opened her eyes, she heard a voice by her ear: "Grandma, can you spare my life?"

"What's up?"

Wang Yingna raised her head in confusion.

Only Li Jiaci was seen staring with wide eyes, his face slightly flushed, mouth wide open, panting hurriedly.

"Ah ma, Jiaci brother, are you alright?"

Wang Yingna was startled, a shiver running through her.

She hurriedly loosened her grip on his neck, and also placed her legs properly down.

She gave his shoulder a hard push.

Li Jiaci raised his hand, closed his eyes, and said: "I made it, I made it!"

"If you'd said you were uncomfortable earlier, I would have let go already."

"Damn it, I told you eight hundred times last night, and you didn't budge!"

"That's definitely because your voice was too soft..."

"I've been unbuttoning for half a day!"

"Exaggeration, it's not that serious; I just held on a bit tighter!"

"Oh my, if you had woken up two minutes later, the ambulance would have been here, you know?"

……

Wang Yingna gave him a sideways glance.

This was the first time the two slept on the same bed.

Yet such a farce occurred.

Well, will you still sleep with me from now on?

Wang Yingna asked softly.

Li Jiaci leaned against the bed edge, dry‑coughing a few times, and said in a hoarse voice: 'Compared to freezing to death, sleeping with you is a bit less risky!'

Hahaha!

Wang Yingna was successfully amused by him, she lay on his back and kissed his nape.

From now on I'll hold you gently.

Thank you, heroine.

You're welcome!

In a blink, it was noon.

Li Jiaci took Wang Yingna out to inspect the factory.

This also served as a formal introduction to the staff, this boss lady who truly lives up to the title.

The lumber mill mostly consisted of old acquaintances, so the inspection was just a quick round, a mere formality.

The main event was at the furniture factory.

Wang Yingna had only come when it opened.

She still didn't know what it had developed into later.

Hong Bo heard early that the two were coming, and waited early at the main gate of the furniture factory.

Watching the distant car slowly approach.

He hurriedly had his subordinates open the gate, took out the red carpet used that opening day, and hastily laid it on the ground.

Of course, there were also the large firecrackers left over from that opening day.

At the moment the car stopped.

The firecrackers on both sides instantly exploded.

Wang Yingna covered her ears, laughing brightly.

After the firecrackers ended.

She opened the car door and ran straight toward Hong Bo.

Hong Bo, I've missed you to death!

After saying that, she gave him a big hug.

Hong Bo was also very happy, smiling so wide he could hardly close his mouth.

Boss lady, we've been hoping for you to return every day, and finally our wish has come true!

Wang Yingna suddenly felt her waist pouch being opened.

She lowered her head to see that Hong Bo had stuffed a thick red envelope inside.

Hehe, just a little token, not much money!

Hong Bo feared she might refuse, so after stuffing it he stepped back a few steps.

Wang Yingna had already been moved enough yesterday; she didn't expect Hong Bo to give her another surprise.

Hong Bo, you earned that money through hard work—why give me a red envelope?

Hearing this, Hong Bo waved his hand: 'Really, it's not much money; buy some supplements and take good care of your body!'

Actually, since Wang Yingna was hospitalized...

Hong Bo has always felt guilty.

Regarding the opening, Li Jiaci entrusted full responsibility to him.

He also got overly excited for a moment, didn't consider external danger factors, giving Zheng Degui a chance to assassinate.

Fortunately Wang Yingna is unharmed; if something happened to her, even dying ten thousand times wouldn't be enough to appease Wang Zhen's hatred.

Wang Yingna didn't continue to refuse, and accepted the red envelope Hong Bo gave.

Then she turned to the exiting Li Jiaci and said: 'Hong Bo has followed you for so long; shouldn't his wages be raised too?'

No way, no way!

Hong Bo immediately shook his head and refused upon hearing that.

Li Jiaci watched the two and smiled.

Little Na's reminder is spot on!

These brothers following me have all suffered quite a bit!

As the factory grows bigger, their wages should also be increased appropriately!

Let's settle this properly tonight!

Wang Yingna just nodded.

Hong Bo hurriedly stepped forward and said: 'Boss, my wages don't need to be raised; they're enough for our family of three to get by!'

Hong Bo, a promotion without a raise is unreasonable, right?

What promotion?

Haha!

Boss, don't go yet—make it clear, you're not planning another expansion, are you?

You guessed right!

Li Jiaci put his arm around Wang Yingna's shoulders and walked toward the factory.

Leaving Hong Bo staring blankly at their backs.

Just having opened the company, now they want to expand again?

Boss, maybe you should think it over again?

You split me into eight pieces, I can't even keep up!
