<h4>Chapter 417 You Can Also Call Me Binbin. That“s What My Family Calls Me</h4>


    “Really?” Li Shaobin was overjoyed, but immediately after realizing that he shouldn’t be behaving like that, he quickly said coyly, “That... wouldn’t be appropriate. We... haven’t been together for long...”


    “If you find it inappropriate, you can continue sleeping on the couch.” Ruan Yangy back down.


    “Er... actually, there’s nothing inappropriate about it. I’ve already got a bump on my forehead. It hurts.” Li Shaobin quickly crawled into her bed carefully. Before he eveny down, he could already smell that familiar scent.


    It felt as though he was dreaming. He was finally going to share a bed with a woman.


    When he finally crawled under the covers, he almost fainted from the fragrance. It smelled f*cking good; no wonder Old Song and Old Yan would always stay around their women.


    He continued to rub his forehead and pretended to be calm. Ruan Yang opened her eyes. “Does it really hurt a lot?”


    She reached over and really felt a bump.


    Whether it was a real fall or not, he really put in a lot of sacrifices.


    “It’s all swollen already,” Li Shaobin grumbled. “I knocked my head on the floor identally. It hurts so much.”


    “Mm. We’ll get some medicine tomorrow to apply on it.” Ruan Yang didn’t know what to say. “Let’s sleep. I’m warning you—don’t you dare to get all handsy on me. Otherwise, I’ll really get mad.”


    “Then can I cuddle you to sleep?” Li Shaobin asked cautiously.


    “No.” Ruan Yang would never believe that he would be so obedient.


    Li Shaobin pouted. With another person sleeping beside them, neither of them could really sleep. They each didn’t dare to move for fear of waking the other person up.


    Ruan Yang felt like that until she fell asleep groggily at around 1 am. When she was half-conscious, she saw someone touching her little face and hair.


    ...


    When she woke up the next morning, the two of them were definitely not sleeping so properly like they were the night before, especially Li Shaobin. He practically took her to be a pillow, cuddling her tightly. He even looped one leg over her legs and even used his toes to graze against her leg from time to time. The worst part was that his feet were cold.


    She felt a little awkward and her face heated up. After all, this was the first time in her memory in which she was sleeping like that with a man.


    However, Li Shaobin was a scoundrel so she kicked him awake impolitely.


    “What’s the fuss about?” Li Shaobin opened his eyes begrudgingly and when he saw Ruan Yang, he jumped and quickly remembered that he in Paris, not home. The person who woke him up was not his family member but Ruan Yang. The gloom on his face instantaneously became a sweet smile. “Ruan Yang, you look so beautiful in the morning.”


    As he said that, he pouted his lips to kiss her. Ruan Yang blocked his face and said angrily, “You’re just like an octopus. Also, your feet are so cold.”


    “Everyone in my family is like this. Our feet are all cold,” Li Shaobin said with a grin. “That’s why my mom kept pushing me to look for a wife. That way, my covers would be warmed.”


    Ruan Yang pinched his shameless face. “Then why don’t I see you looking for a wife?”


    “I can’t look for my wife randomly.” Li Shaobin continued to graze her feet. “Ruan Yang, your feet are so small.”


    “Mine would definitely be smaller than yours.” Ruan Yang didn’t want to chat with him while lying under the covers early in the morning. She sat up and said, “Get up quickly. We still have to catch a ne.”


    “Oh.” Although Li Shaobin said that, he didn’t move for a very long time. He only got up slowly after sniffing around the bed after Ruan Yang had already gotten up.


    He was in a good mood so he was even humming a little tune while he was washing up. Ruan Yang looked at how he seemed so happy and said with a smile, “Is there a need for you to be so happy?”


    “Of course.” Li Shaobin nced at her. It was his first time sleeping with a woman he liked. She would never understand how he felt.


    ...


    They took a cab and had a smooth trip to the airport. Li Shaobin pushed their luggage in and went to check-in.


    At the international airport, there were people everywhere and the queues were also very long. Ruan Yang wasn’t as energetic as he was and was sitting on her suitcase tiredly.


    After they were done checking in, Li Shaobin held her hand as they walked towards the immigration gate. On their way there, Ruan Yang stopped and bent down to tie her shoce when suddenly, she heard flustered noises from behind her. Immediately after that, arge group of people rushed over in their direction in a flurry and some of them were even screaming.


    Li Shaobin got a shock and thought that this was a terrorist attack like the ones he saw on television. He quickly picked up Ruan Yang, who was squatting on the floor and ran forward with all his might.


    Ruan Yang got a shock because of his actions and she kept shouting, “What are you doing, what are you doing?”


    “I think it’s a terrorist attack.” Li Shaobin’s face was already pale with shock. He ran very quickly with her in his arms and evenforted her, “Ruan Yang, don’t worry. If someone really starts shooting, I’ll definitely block you from the bullets. If I were to die, all you need to do is offer me a joss stick every year on this day.”


    Ruan Yang wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. Her heart was also beating very quickly because of what he said. Would they be so unlucky to really encounter a terrorist attack?


    She had yet to enjoy her life and she hadn’t even regained her memory.


    Would the headlines on the news tomorrow read: Famous actress dead from a terrorist attack?


    Just as her thoughts were running wild, she suddenly realized that the crowd behind them had stopped running. She quickly tugged on Li Shaobin’s shirt. “Stop. I think it’s fine now.”


    Li Shaobin ignored her and continued to run quickly until Ruan Yang pulled his ear and screamed, “Stop right there; it’s fine.”


    Li Shaobin turned his head back and realized he was the only one running. The policemen at the airport were all screaming, telling people to stop running. They were just chasing after a pickpocket at the airport and it was nothing serious.


    Li Shaobin felt really embarrassed. He cursed a few times and put Ruan Yang down. Ruan Yang bent down andughed out loud as she watched him.


    “What are youughing at?” Li Shaobin was about to die of embarrassment. “I only ran because I was scared after watching the news. If I were alone, it wouldn’t have mattered, but it’s not the same with you around. I have to protect you.”


    Ruan Yang squatted down as sheughed, but when she heard what he said, her smile slowly faded and was reced by a sense of warmth in her eyes. She hadn’t forgotten what he said as he ran while carrying her. Moreover, most people would definitely run away first if they really encountered a terrorist attack. Who would’ve bothered to pick her up? “Alright, I’m notughing anymore.”


    She stood up and smiled deeply. “I really got a fright just now. Luckily you ran with me.”


    “What’s so lucky about that? It was all a misunderstanding.” Li Shaobin pulled her hand. He felt very embarrassed. “Forget it; let’s go. I don’t want to stay here.”


    “Mm, let’s go.” Ruan Yang suppressed herughter and walked back to the immigration gate with him.


    ...


    On the ne, Li Shaobin said solemnly, “Ruan Yang, I’m actually not timid. I’ve even taken part in fights where we really go all out and I’ve almost died, but I’ve never touched things like guns aside from when I was in the army. Although people might call me a triad boss, I’ve never touched all those dangerous things. There are people who have tried to make me traffic drugs and artillery but I have my limit. I would never touch things that I shouldn’t. I’m not afraid of death but I’m afraid of dying without knowing.”


    “Mm, I know. I didn’t think you were timid either.” Ruan Yang held his hand. “I was quite touched, really.”


    Li Shaobin looked at their hands together silently and he said, “Yangyang, don’t worry. If you were to run into danger in the future, I’ll always be there in front of you to protect you. It’s the job of a man to protect a woman.”


    Ruan Yang’s face felt slightly warm. “What did you call me?”


    “Yangyang, ah, that would sound more intimate.” Li Shaobin was also slightly embarrassed. “You can also call me Binbin. That’s what my family calls me.”


    The corners of Ruan Yang’s mouth twitched.


    Yangyang, Binbin...


    Would that be a little too mushy?


    But that was what her family members called her too when she was young.


    —————-


    Ruan Yang only returned to her apartment in Northern City at around 11 pm. After helping her move her things up, Li Shaobin stretched and said tiredly, “Ruan Yang, it’s toote now. I’ll just sleepover at your ce.”


    Ruan Yang nced at him. She knew he would say that. “You haven’t changed your inner shirt for two days already and you’re still not changing it today? Could you get any dirtier?”


    “I’ll go back and change tomorrow.” Li Shaobin yawned again. “I’ll sleep in the room next door, won’t that do?”


    “There’s nothing I could do even if you wanted to sleep here. It’s your apartment after all.” Ruan Yang couldn’t help but frown when she saw him behaving like that.


    Li Shaobin could tell that she was unhappy, so he felt slightly nervous. “Don’t think that way. If you don’t want me to stay, I’ll go back.”


    When he got downstairs, Hu Zhi saw himing down disappointedly and said, “Boss, I thought you wouldn’t being down.”


    “I didn’t want toe down too but I almost made Ruan Yang angry.” Li Shaobin sighed. “I was thinking since we already slept in the same bed yesterday, we should be able to sleep together tonight too.”


    “Boss, I realized you’re a very impatient person,” Hu Zhi said. “You make it so obvious that women would think you’re perverted. Men should be more gentlemanly and humble. That way, they would be more popr with women. Besides, I’m afraid you’ve only been with Ruan Yang for barely 20 days yet you’re already thinking of crawling into her bed all the time. What would that make Miss Ruan think?”


    “I want to sleep with her. It can also be a pure kind of ‘sleeping’. I wasn’t thinking about that kind of thing, alright?” Li Shaobin muttered. They had all misunderstood him.


    “You might think this way but Miss Ruan might not,” Hu Zhi said. “You spent a good 200 thousand yesterday on booking hotel rooms just so that you could sleep with her for one night.”


    “It was just 200 thousand. I have loads of money anyway.” Li Shaobin sighed miserably. “If 200 thousand is all that I need to spend to lie in her bed, I don’t mind spending 200 thousand every day.”
