Qu Xiao felt a burning gaze watching her from the corner. In order not to expose herself, she hurriedly restrained her aura and said with aggrievement,

“Honey, she’s driving me crazy.”

Qu Qi finally reacted and was about to pounce forward. “Qu Xiao, I’m going to kill you!”

Shang Yan frowned and waved his hand.

The butler and bodyguards immediately took Qu Qi away and handed her to the police for custody.

The room fell silent.

Qu Xiao glanced at Shang Yan from the corner of her eyes. She deliberately pretended to be weak as she leaned against the headboard of the bed. There was a little coquetry in her voice as she said, “Honey, my wound hurts!”

Shang Yan looked at her coldly. “I’ll get the doctor to come over and give you another general physical checkup.”

Seeing that he was about to leave, Qu Xiao hurriedly sat up and called out to him, “Shang Yan! Wait!”

Her movements were a little fierce, and she felt a sharp pain in her waist and abdomen.

Qu Xiao’s eyes were instantly filled with tears.

Shang Yan was stunned for a moment. He moved forward slightly in his wheelchair but soon stopped.

He had never seen Qu Xiao like this before.

Qu Xiao’s voice trembled as she explained pitifully, “Qu Qi came to instigate me to divorce you.”

“She said that you have no feelings for me and that you only want to marry someone in the Qu family for business. After I divorce you, she can marry you.”

“I was stupid before, and I believed her. But I won’t do it again in the future. I will stand on your side.”

Qu Xiao blamed Qu Qi for everything that happened. She saw that Shang Yan’s face softened a little but soon returned to coldness.

Qu Xiao’s eyes rolled slightly. She reached out her hand towards Shang Yan. Seeing that he did not react, she shook it with a hint of urging.

Yet, the slight movement pulled at her wound. Qu Xiao frowned in pain. “Hiss ... it hurts! Honey, we’re not divorced yet. Don’t ignore me!”

Shang Yan frowned. In the end, he rolled the wheelchair to her bedside.

Traces of blood seeped out from the gauze on Qu Xiao’s wound. It was clear that she was not lying when she said she was in pain.

Shang Yan wanted to find a doctor, but Qu Xiao held onto his hand and refused to let go.

Qu xiao stuffed her slender fingers into Shang Yan’s palm and interlocked her fingers with his.

Shang Yan sat in the wheelchair while Qu Xiao sat on the bed. Qu Xiao tried several times to lean her head on Shang Yan’s shoulder but failed because of their ill-suited position. She could only complain with a pout,

“Honey, can you say something nice to help me feel better?”

“I’m the injured now. I need a good mood to recover soon.”

Qu Xiao’s eyes flickered with a smile as she sneaked a glance at Shang Yan. His body was slightly stiff, and there was no expression on his face. Clearly, he was just enduring her.

“What happened just now really scared me. If you hadn’t entered in time, I’m afraid I would have become a vegetable!”

Qu Xiao muttered with some lingering fear. Shang Yan lowered his head. He held the pair of soft hands in his palm as he recalled the photos he received in the mailbox.

Shang Yan’s attitude suddenly turned cold. He pushed Qu Xiao away and ignored her goodwill.

His eyes were cold as he said, “If you become a vegetable, that’s because you’re stupid.”

Qu Xiao’s heart thumped for a moment before she immediately understood.

Shang Yan was suspicious. His legs were crippled, but he managed to achieve his current success step by step. He was respected by the financial world. Nobody knew how much effort he had put in and how many betrayals he had experienced.

These experiences caused Shang Yan to build a mental defense mechanism to protect himself.

And she had done so many unforgivable things before.

When Qu Xiao thought of this, she felt as if her heart was being pulled up, and waves of stinging pain shot through her.

When Shang Yan saw that she did not respond, he said with his thin lips in disappointment, “I’ll get the lawyer to redraft the divorce agreement.”

“No!”

Qu Xiao shook her head and said anxiously, “In the past, I was deceived by Ling Chi and did many things to hurt you. But I promise you that I will never contact them again in the future. You will be the only person in my heart!”

Shang Yan narrowed his eyes as his heart was somewhat shaken.

No one had ever said something like this to him.

Why would it be this woman who had betrayed him several times?

Qu Xiao wanted to stand up from the bed, but she was weak because of the injury. She stepped on the floor and fell forward unsteadily.

Bang!

She fell into an embrace that carried a refreshing aura.

Qu Xiao lay on Shang Yan’s knees and raised her head with her wet eyes. She firmly bit her lips and took advantage of the situation to hug Shang Yan’s waist. She rested her head on his sturdy chest and rubbed against it as she said coquettishly.

“Honey, I will never divorce you!”
