Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Master Zhan slowly recovered from his injuries and Zhan Lichuan’s recovery was much better than she had expected, which was why Jing Qian returned to her work as well.
Early in the morning, Jing Qian had just entered the Zhan Mansion to get the potion that she prepared earlier, as well as to get her clothes, when she saw Zhan Yuheng, dressed in casual attire, slowly walking down the staircase.
Zhan Yuheng was no longer wearing the well-ironed suit that he was usually dressed in. When he saw Jing Qian, he smiled, greeting her, “Sister-in-law, good morning.”
When Jing Qian heard him, she no longer had the hatred look in her eyes. Instead, she smiled and greeted him in return, “Big brother, good morning.”
“Have you had breakfast?”
“I did. I had it with Ah Chuan and Grandfather at the hospital.”
“Would you like a cup of tea then?” Zhan Yuheng continued asking.
“It’s fine. I have to head on set. You can enjoy it yourself. See you!”
Jing Qian wanted to leave.
“Sister-in-law...”
It was a rare opportunity that he was able to find Jing Qian alone, so Zhan Yuheng wasn’t going to let it go.
Jing Qian stopped by the staircase. With her perfect curves, she turned around and leaned against the handle like a vixen.
She put on a seductive smile and asked, “Big Brother, is there anything you need?”
Zhan Yuheng walked up to her with his long legs. He took one step at a time up the stairs, getting closer to Jing Qian.
Even when the two of them had exceeded the safe distance, Zhan Yuheng didn’t plan on stopping.
“Big brother, I am your sister-in-law. Your flirtatious facial expression, as well as the distance between us, would make me think that you are interested in me,” Jing Qian said in a casual tone.
It didn’t sound like she was rejecting Zhan Yuheng.
In fact, the other party felt as if he was invited to get closer. With a sense of excitement, he continued, “Sister-in-law, has anyone told you that you’re a smart girl?”
“It’s a fact that I’m smart. I don’t need anyone else to tell me that.”
Zhan Yuheng let out a deep laugh that he thought sounded sexy.
“Not only are you smart, but you also guessed correctly too.”
Well, one didn’t have to explain what she guessed correctly.
Zhan Yuheng was determined to harass her today.
Jing Qian didn’t panic or get mad. Instead, she smiled and asked, “So what you mean is that you’re about to take away what belongs to your little brother?”
Zhan Yuheng felt a little helpless when he noticed how Jing Qian was still able to joke with him. He wasn’t as thick-skinned as Jing Qian, which was why he stopped smiling before speaking, “Qianqian, I know that Ah Chuan is an excellent man. No matter if it’s his looks or his intelligence, he is above me.”
Jing Qian continued leaning against the handle and looked at Zhan Yuheng, who was only about 25 cm away from her. It wasn’t hard to miss that she was really relaxed. Every inch of her muscles were relaxed and chill; just like a cat looking at its owner performing, it was as if she was looking at an idiot.
As he continued looking at Jing Qian, who was casually lazy and not taking too much interest in his presence, Zhan Yuheng felt a little frustrated. However, this also increased his desire to fight.
“You know that he is a quadriplegic now...”
“But Professor Hong Lu said that Professor J from the Lawrence Institute is a genius. She should be able to fix him.”
Zhan Yuheng sneered, “And you believe them?”
“Why shouldn’t I?”
Zhan Yuheng spoke in a stern voice, “Have you heard of Professor J? If the professor is someone who is able to cure quadriplegics, he would have been famous. How is it that no one has heard of him? Qianqian, let me tell you the truth. Ah Chuan will never recover from his injuries.
“You are an outstanding person. How could you be happy being with a paralyzed man for the rest of your life?”
