In the hospital ward, the sound of typing on a keyboard could be heard.
Shang Yan was handling the groupâs affairs and Qu Xiao quietly adjusted the height of his bed.
A few days ago, Shang Yanâs attending doctor had said that his recovery was going well, but he still needed to pay attention to his sleep and diet, and not to work too hard and exercise.
Buzzâ¦
The phone on the coffee table vibrated.
When Qu Xiao handed it to Shang Yan, she glanced at the screen from the corner of her eye. When she saw the two words âGrandpa Shangâ, she became nervous.
me nervous.
âHello?â Shang Yan asked softly. He closed his computer and asked, âHow are you doing recently?â
Qu Xiao held a cup of coffee and walked to the balcony. She tried to keep a distance from Shang Yan, but she could not help but perk up her ears to eavesdrop on their conversation.
âI donât think I can visit you for the time being⦠Bring Xiao with me? Is there something you need?â
Shang Yan asked with a raised volume, frowning
Qu Xiao turned around in a daze and met his gaze. The coffee in the cup rippled slightly, and there was an unconcealable panic and helplessness in her eyes.
Shang Yan wanted to refuse, but Grandpa Shang was unyielding. âIf itâs inconvenient for you young people, Iâll go to the hospital
myself!â
He could only compromise and agree. After hanging up the phone, Shang Yan called Qu Xiao twice before she finally came back to her senses. She dragged her slow and hesitant footsteps to the bedside. She nervously twisted her hands and asked with a frown, âDoes Grandpa Shang hate me very much?â
In the original novel, Qu Xiao and the Shang familyâs relationship was enstranged. The original owner had once deliberately dressed inappropriately to Grandpa Shangâs family banquet to embarrass him. After their marriage, she even used vulgar language and behaved very wildly which left the Shang family a very bad impression of her
The reason why the Shang family suddenly called them back to the old mansion was definitely because they wanted to find trouble with her for causing Shang Yanâs accident.
When Qu Xiao thought about this, her lips gradually turned pale.
Shang Yan held her hand and gently patted it twice. His tone was gentle as he comforted her, âWith me by your side, Grandpa Shang wonât go too far.â
Qu Xiao lowered her eyes. After a moment of silence, she suddenly raised her eyes. Like a frightened rabbit, she ran in front of the wardrobe and rummaged through it. She anxiously looked at the few pieces of clothes that she had brought over at the last minute and muttered in annoyance, âShould I go back to the villa to look for better clothes?â
âWhat type of clothes does Grandpa Shang like? A qipao or an evening gown?â
Shang Yan saw her flustered appearance and his thin lips curled into a light smile. He sat in the wheelchair and walked to the wardrobe, taking out a plain-colored long dress, âI think this one is not bad. Itâs elegant and dignified. Itâs the type that Grandpa Shang would like.â
Qu Xiao picked it up and wanted to go next door to try it on.
However, Shang Yan tugged at her elbow and whispered with a smile in his eyes, âWhy? Iâve seen you naked before. Change here.â
Qu Xiao pushed his arm away and complained, âHow can you be joking at a time like this? Iâm so nervous!â
Shang Yan saw her running to the next room in a hurry and rubbed his temple with his hand. After a while, Qu Xiaoâs cry for help suddenly came from the next room. âShang Yan! Come over and help me. The zipper is at the back, I canât seeâ¦â
Shang Yan pushed the door open in his wheelchair. Qu Xiaoâs fair and beautiful back came into view. Her long hair fell over one side of her shoulders. She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror and tried hard to zip her dress. Her clumsy movements made the zipper slide down, revealing her perky buttocks.
Shang Yanâs breathing became a little heavy.
âHurry up!â
Qu Xiao urged him, and Shang Yan moved over slowly. His icy cold fingertips touched her skin, teasing her restlessly.
Sensing Shang Yanâs intentions, Qu Xiao turned around and swatted away his naughty hands.
âI really want Grandpa Shang to like me. Shang Yan, Iâm not in the mood to joke with
you.â
Shang Yan restrained his emotions and helped zip up her dress for her. He instructed Li to pick a few pieces of matching jewelry to send to the hospital.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The next morning, Qu Xiao and Shang Yan packed up and took the car sent by Grandpa Shang to the old mansion.
The old mansion of the Shang family was located at the top of the mountains. The European style architecture was luxurious. The hundreds of acres land showcased the wealth of the Shang family. The driver drove Qu Xiao and Shang Yan halfway up the mountain and suddenly stopped.
Shang Yan gently patted Qu Xiaoâs hand and leaned out to ask, âWhatâs wrong?â
The driver ran to the back with an apologetic expression. His gaze swept across Qu Xiaoâs body as he answered respectfully, âYoung master, the car broke down.â
âIâm afraid that young Madam will have to push you up.â
The wind halfway up the mountain was very cold. Qu Xiao was wearing a thin dress and was trembling. Shang Yan saw the driver deliberately delaying the repair time and immediately understood that all of this was Grandpa Shangâs intention.
Grandpa Shang was using this as a way to make things difficult for Qu Xiao.
