My Demon Husband Is a Snake

"No... I've already finished everything..." I secretly guessed the relationship situation between Xiao Li and Beichen.

Are they in a ambiguous phase? Or just really good friends?

Or have they already cleared the air... and are boyfriend and girlfriend now...

Xiao Li said warmly, "You came at an unfortunate time, we've already finished the work."

From Xiao Li's demeanor, she wasn't upset at all; Beichen was here to protect me, or perhaps she knew Beichen's true identity.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have guessed that Beichen would come to protect me as soon as Yu Longting left.

This girl sure had many secrets!

"When you guys have work in the evening, I can help from start to finish," Beichen said accommodatingly.

Xiao Li nodded repeatedly, walked to the refrigerator, and took out a bottle of yogurt, "This is for you to drink."

"Thank you." Beichen didn't refuse.

"No need to thank me."

Xiao Li held her chin in her hand, quietly watching Beichen drink.

Her eyes shimmering like autumn waters, she almost seemed to embed her dear Brother Chenn into her eyes.

In the evening, the two of them were even more cloyingly sweet together.

Xiao Li fetched a men's jacket to shield Beichen from the chilly night air, "Brother Chenn, the wind is cold and the dew heavy at night, your Taoist robe is too thin."

"This jacket does fit me quite well." Beichen slipped into the jacket, bowing his head as he buttoned it.

Xiao Li leaned close to Beichen's ear and whispered, "It was bought specifically for you."

"Oh."

Beichen's cheeks faintly blushed.

It was the first time I saw, a straightforward and serious Beichen blushing like that.

However, they seemed more like they were in an ambiguous phase.

Although Beichen didn't reject Xiao Li's kindness, Beichen was a Taoist, and strict rules forbid a Taoist from engaging in romantic feelings.

I hoped that Beichen wouldn't hurt Xiao Li, who was both innocent and passionate.

"Chen Yuanyuan, it's finally your turn to be fed with 'dog food'!"

Probably noticing that I was staring intently, Xiao Li specifically skipped over to tease me in a low voice.

I rolled my eyes at her, pointing to my throat, "I'm stuffed."

"You're just stuffed now? I've been fed up by you and your man before! Just wait until I snag Brother Chenn, you'll have your turn~" Xiao Li had a face full of vindictive pleasure.

A wave of relief washed over me, seeing Xiao Li with someone she liked made her truly adorable, vibrant and radiant, like a dazzling sunflower.

In the evening, the snack business was unusually good.

Everyone was exceptionally busy, and I was frazzled serving dishes to customers.

Chen Shufen, on the other hand, took the opportunity to gossip, snagging my attention, "That guy called Beichen, the one helping with the plates, is he Xiao Li's boyfriend?"

"This, I'm not really sure." I replied uncomfortably.

Chen Decheng, carrying a case of beer as he passed by, chuckled and added, "Yuanyuan and Xiao Li have good taste, both of your boyfriends are incredibly outstanding!"

"Yeah, outstanding indeed, they both work as free labor for you." Chen Shufen sneered.

Suddenly, there was a harsh screeching of brakes from the roadside.

Immediately followed by the sound of a road post being violently struck, the metal road post broke off.

There was a crashing sound.

Chen Decheng dropped the beer case he was holding, bent over, and swiftly pulled his wife into his embrace, shielding her with his body.

Fortunately, the oncoming car stopped just in time, otherwise it would have been a disaster for everyone on the sidewalk.

Startled, the customers stood up, everyone plunged into a noisy state of shock.

I spotted the car plate was from the city where Ye Jiqing lived, quickly walked over, checked the person in the car, and asked, "Ye Jiqing, are you okay? Are you hurt? Do you need an ambulance?"
