Chapter 1339 fool, how could I leave you?

The place where they lived wasn’t large, so his voice should be audible from anywhere in the house.

After a few seconds of silence, there was a response: "What’s wrong?"

He walked out and saw her standing at the kitchen door, still in her apron, holding a bowl and a whisk, looking at him bewilderedly.

Because his tone was indeed too anxious.

Li Sinian went downstairs in a few quick steps, approached her, and grabbed her while asking, "Why are you up so early?"

Seeing how anxious he appeared, Xiao Man burst into laughter, "What’s up? I woke up a bit earlier today and couldn’t fall back asleep, so I just got up. Why are you so worried?"

Li Sinian took the things from her hands, "Why are you doing this? If you’re hungry, you could just call me."

Xiao Man’s eyes squinted with laughter: "You were sleeping so soundly, I didn’t want to wake you up. It’s just frying an egg, it’s not like going to the battlefield, how could it harm me?"

Seeing her in front of him, his heart settled down, he raised his hand to rub her hair and kissed her forehead, "It’s okay now, go sit for a while, I’ll do it."

What was he afraid of?

Afraid she would sense his physical condition and leave him.

Just like that time in Mexico, leaving his side without a sound, and this time, it would be forever.

"Alright, I’ll fry the egg for you today, you go brush your teeth and wash your face first. Look at your scruffy appearance," Xiao Man said as she tried to take back the utensils from his hands.

Li Sinian refused, put them on the table, and lifted her into his arms.

"Hey—" Xiao Man exclaimed softly, "What are you doing?"

"Don’t move," Li Sinian rarely acted so domineeringly.

Xiao Man laughed and curled up in his embrace, not moving, not knowing what he was up to, just letting him be.

Li Sinian carried Xiao Man upstairs and into the room. She thought he wanted to start something early in the morning, but actually, he carried her into the bathroom and placed her on the sink.

She sat there like a child, her feet dangling some distance from the floor.

Li Sinian stood in front of her, lowered his head to touch hers, and stayed like that for a while.

"From now on, you must wake me up when you get up, no more getting up alone."

"What’s wrong?" Xiao Man looked at him amusingly, "What’s wrong with my Ah Nian?"

She pressed her hands on his shoulders, leaned in, and gave him a light peck on the lips.

"Why do you look like you’ve lost something important?"

"You," he said in a low voice, "You are the most important."

"Pfft..." Xiao Man suddenly realized something, "Did you think I quietly left?"

Thinking of his expression just now, it seemed to indeed be the case.

She hadn’t expected that leaving for just a while would make him so anxious and fearful.

From where Li Sinian couldn’t see, Xiao Man’s expression darkened.

Ah Nian...

So before I leave you forever, won’t you be terribly sad?

Just thinking about this made Xiao Man’s heart hurt.

She didn’t want Ah Nian to be sad...

Unable to control her emotions, Xiao Man didn’t dare let her thoughts go further, afraid she would reveal her feelings.

She quickly said: "Silly, how could I leave you? Didn’t I promise I wouldn’t secretly leave again? I remember you said the punishment would be very, very severe, and I remember it well."
