”Isn’t this too heartless!” She knew her father’s little scheme – if he could marry her off to someone, he’d sit at home, feet up, incredibly excited.
”I told them I’m taking you on a trip.”
She looked at him in disbelief. “Are you crazy? I’m an injured patient! What trip?”
”You injured your shoulder, not your foot. If you can’t walk, I’m happy to carry you.”
During her hospital stay, he had been strategically clearing all obstacles. Now, she was under his control – with her father’s approval.
Qinyan almost bit through her teeth.
Damn it! During these hospital days, under his strict control, she could do nothing but eat and sleep. She had been longing to go home, to escape the “prison guard”, and now he wanted to take her where?
What he’s doing? Why did he bring her here when she wasn’t mentally prepared? She’s still injured and looks haggard!
Her shoulder injury made her feel insecure, involuntarily leaning towards him seeking protection.
But… huh? She seems not to have noticed that whenever she wants to lean on someone, she automatically leans on Wei Zhan Yi, without her father’s calculation.
He let go of her hand, she tightly grabbed it again, he tried to brush his hair, she grabbed his hand back, the two of them at the kitchen doorway, grabbing and pulling, compared to before, she’s now as docile as a little lamb.
“What are you standing there for?” Second Madam’s sharp gaze swept over, seeing their little movements.
Qing Yan was scared stiff on the spot. Compared to presence, Second Madam was much more intimidating!
Wei Zhan Yi took advantage of her unpreparedness and let go of her hand. “I’ll go change clothes, you sit here first.”
Hey, you brought me to your home and just leave me like this? She silently mouthed, gesturing with her hands.
He smiled and slipped away.
“Sit.” Second Madam commanded.
Qing Yan quickly sat down, feeling she shouldn’t cause trouble in front of an elder, and reluctantly put on an elegant lady-like appearance. But not a second passed before her big eyes curiously looked around.
A large ceramic bowl was placed in front of her, with a dark soup reflecting her panicked expression.
