Chapter 69: This Is Your Uncle
Early in the morning, Shiyao was awakened by the smell of breakfast.
“Smells good…” Shiyao sniffed, opened her sleepy eyes and saw You Ze waving the food under her nose.
“Get up to have breakfast, lazybones.”
Shiyao had meals served in her room after she got injured, which Jiang Fengyi also agreed to after a serious discussion with You Ze.
“You Ze, my wound is much better…”
Shiyao carefully checked her thigh. The wound had healed, leaving only a crooked scar and some traces of a suture.
“Not at all! Don’t move!” You Ze yelled at her.
Shiyao was always too restless to stop him from worrying!NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
After checking her wound, You Ze called the hospital and made an appointment for stitches removal today.
The ointment Xing Shenzhi offered was running short, but You Ze’s eyes became dim at the thought of his requirement.
“Does it hurt?” You Ze softly asked.
Shiyao was dazed for a moment and then answered with a grin, “No.”
“You idiot…”
“Why do you always say that?” Shiyao raised her spoon and protested loudly. How could she, such a clever girl, be a fool?
You Ze ate the congee gracefully and pretended to sigh helplessly.
“Cheated by a little girl in the evening, is it stupid?”
Embarrassed, Shiyao put down the spoon and snorted nonchalantly.
“That’s because I’m kind! It’s rare for a woman to be as beautiful and kind-hearted as me!”
“I’m honored to marry such a kind and beautiful lady,” You Ze’s mouth curved upward unconsciously.
Shiyao couldn’t help but blush.
‘What’s wrong with You Ze? He keeps flirting with me? He must have used these sweet words to get his way with other women.’
With the thought in mind, Shiyao rolled her eyes at You Ze instead of feeling moved. Then she enjoyed her breakfast leisurely and stopped talking to You Ze.
You Ze looked at breakfast in front of him, speechless. He had been gallant and kind all morning. Why was she angry?
Women’s mind was really a mystery!
After breakfast, You Ze insisted on accompanying Shiyao to the hospital, no matter how she reassured him. Ever since Shiyao was injured, You Ze had been following her every time she went out!
“Even if you are the boss, you can’t be so self-willed! What if your staff do the same as you?”
Shiyao sternly lectured You Ze. She wasn’t looking for an excuse, but worrying about You Ze. As a serious and responsible girl from a young age, she was stricter in her work.
“I always go my own way.”
You Ze replied calmly. Choking with anger, Shiyao turned her back on him.
Knowing she was doing it on purpose, You Ze stroked her hair with a smile.
The stitches were removed smoothly, and Shiyao was stronger than You Ze thought. She didn’t use the anesthetic or make a sound throughout.
“Are you ok?”
You Ze held Shiyao in his arms and sympathetically stroked her face.
“Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious. I was a naughty child and often beaten by my mother when I came home after a fight,” Shiyao said with a smile, as if it was no big deal, but You Ze was quite distressed to hear it.
He was well-educated, spoiled by his family, and lived a luxurious life before joining the army. But Shiyao, a girl, had suffered so much injustice and pain. You Ze put his Chin on the top of her head, in a silent daze. Shiyao sensed something was wrong with him, but said nothing, staying quiet in his arms.
After a long time in this position, Shiyao’s neck was numb.
“You Ze, I wanna go back to see my mom…”
Xu Youyou’s recording yesterday worried Shiyao much. She knew her mom, who was strict with her, while vulnerable to the Qins. Even though You Ze told Shiyao the Qins had left and that Assistant Li was watching there, she was still in great worries.
“Why not? I’ll go with you.”
“No… Just myself.”
She couldn’t feel free to chat with her mother in You Ze’s presence. Shiyao shook his arm and begged in a girly voice,
“Please, You Ze…”
It was the first time that You Ze saw Shiyao butter him up, which he unexpectedly enjoyed. After some consideration, he promised to leave as soon as he sent her there.
“I have my wheelchair!”
Shiyao wagged her head happily as she hummed. You Ze frowned disapprovingly, ‘Is the girl really disgusted with me?’
“Give me a kiss.”
Buckled up, You Ze suddenly pulled up along the street, refusing to go unless Shiyao kissed him.
“Ah?”
Shiyao stared at You Ze, confused. Although he was handsome, she was not such a flirt!
“Come on!” You Ze impatiently shook Shiyao, pointing at his cheek.
Shiyao bashfully leaned closer with her eyes shut, ready to kiss him. Barely had she touched him when his mouth pressed on hers.
“I decided to kiss you instead!”
You Ze cheerfully hummed a tune and started the car, leaving Shiyao petrified on the seat.
She really wanted to take a picture of You Ze’s cheeky look! ‘Is he a CEO? No, he’s just a wolf in sheep’s clothing!’
You Ze was excited on the way, wondering since when he had become so childish. He found himself relaxed and happy with Shiyao. He could took off the mask of disguise and do whatever he wanted, which he only dared to do in front of his grandmother before.
Upon arriving, Shiyao urged You Ze away before her mother came to open the door.
“Watch Mrs. You.” You Ze told Assistant Li.
“I will, Mr. You.”
You Ze’s compromise was because he had something more important to do. The real-time GPS in Shiyao’s phone enabled him to track her wherever she went.
With the door gently opened, Shiyao saw a strange man in front of her and froze on the spot.
‘Who is he?’
Shiyao shouted, “Mom!”
“Here!” Shi Nian cheerfully responded.
“Yaoyao?” Shi Xiang gave a warm smile to the charming and cute girl in the wheelchair.
“Who are you?” Shiyao snapped. ‘Is he mom’s pursuer?’ The look in her eyes suddenly turned fierce.
“Yaoyao, this is your uncle.”
Shi Nian smiled at Shi Xiang apologetically.
Completely shocked, Shiyao didn’t react even when Shi Xiang pushed her in.
