Chapter 300: Chapter 278: Time to Settle Accounts (Monthly Ticket 850+ Updated)
Translator: 549690339
While Shi Yu was settling accounts, Xiao Qian went to the hospital to see Yu Minglang, who was in a furious rage.
“Get it away! Get it away!”
“But the doctor said you must have an IV infusion…” The innocent nurse, bearing the brunt of his anger, said with grievance.
“Hold this little bastard down for me!” Mother Yu’s voice came.
Yu Minglang was even more domineering, glaring with his eyes, “If you dare to stick it in me, I’ll pull it out!”
Mother Yu was so angry with this jerk that her chest hurt with anger.
“Your wife didn’t run away; she’ll be here in a bit. Why are you taking your anger out on us?”
This guy had slept all the way here, and when he woke up and heard that Xiao Qian had gone for questioning, he started throwing tantrums and refusing the IV, roaring at anyone he saw.
“Couldn’t any of you wake me up? Just let her go by herself!”
Yu Minglang couldn’t bear to be apart from her for even a second. After this incident, he was the one left with a psychological shadow.
“You haven’t slept for days, and Xiao Qian wanted you to rest…”
Yu Minglang knew he shouldn’t be so angry, but his heart felt uneasy without seeing Xiao Qian.
“Since when did the women in this family start to make the rules! I’ll be the head of the household in the future, and I can’t let her have her way!”
Xiao Qian entered the room.
Upon seeing her, Yu Minglang’s anger was gone. His face, which had just been looking for trouble, changed its tone as soon as he saw Xiao Qian.
“You’re back-” Thinking about it, he felt something was wrong, and turned to his mother, “I’ve told you before, my dad’s chauvinistic mindset is not right. Nowadays, women can hold up half the sky, and my Xiao Mei holds up even more. Everything has to be discussed, there is no man or woman in charge, democratic decision making is needed!”
Mother Yu laughed in anger. She had never seen anyone so shameless. The nurse next to her had an expression like she’d seen a ghost.
“Xiao Qian is here, quick, help me hold this stinky kid down and get the infusion done!” Mother Yu called for Xiao Qian’s help.
Xiao Qian went over and didn’t expose Yu Xiaoqiang’s lie.
“Hang the IV bag.”
Yu Minglang immediately reached out to help the nurse, like an obedient dog, without a word, just staring at Xiao Qian.
Mother Yu held Xiao Qian’s hand, her heart aching, “Good child, you’ve suffered a lot, haven’t you?”
“It’s fine, Ming Lang arrived in time.”
“Go home and let your mother know everything is alright. Come over tonight, Aunt has made you a nourishing soup. Look at how thin your face has become…”
It has only been less than three days, how could she lose weight so quickly? It was all psychological. Mother Yu couldn’t imagine that such a weak and fragile body contained such great power. Who would believe that this delicate girl could do all those things?
“Mom, you go back and cook your soup, make sure it’s simmered for a long time!” Yu Minglang was jealous.
His Xiao Mei had been talking to his mother for so long since she entered the room! Why didn’t she look at him once!!
Mother Yu was both amused and annoyed. “She’s yours for the rest of your life. What’s wrong with your mother and daughter-in-law chatting for a while? Okay, I won’t be a light bulb here, I’ll go home and cook the soup and come back later!”
Xiao Qian felt embarrassed, but Yu Xiaoqiang was looking pretty calm. What was there for her to compete with him over Xiao Mei for?
After Mother Yu left, only Yu Minglang and Xiao Qian were left in the sickroom. Xiao Qian went over to him, wanting to wring out a towel to wipe his face, only to be hugged tightly by Yu Minglang. She quickly pushed him away.
“Don’t move, you’re having an infusion!”
He had one hand hanging and the other hand holding the IV bottle, with such a big movement, what if the needle rolled!
“You just lie down and don’t move!”
“The bed is so small, I don’t want to press on your wound.”
Yu Minglang was too tall to lie comfortably on the bed, and if she got on, she would certainly end up pressing on his body.
“Don’t force me to pull the needle out! Let me tell you, Chen Xiaomei, I’m not over this yet!” Yu Minglang glared at her, not knowing how he had managed to get through these days.
Guilt-ridden, Xiao Qian could only apologize to him in a gentle manner.
“I’ll come up after you finish this bottle of medicine.”
Yu Minglang pursed his lips tightly. He looked like a child throwing a tantrum. He glanced at the hanging IV bottle, feeling frustrated, and turned his head away. After two seconds, he wanted to look at Xiao Qian again, turned back, and stared at her without blinking.
A few days apart felt like a lifetime, and he couldn’t get enough of looking at her.
As Xiao Qian stood up, he sat up straight, his eyes filled with an unconscious fear.
Xiao Qian felt heartache seeing this. During the days she was gone, she had made this god-like man overly sensitive. Yu Minglang’s psychological endurance was strong, but she was his Achilles heel.
“I’ll wipe your face.” Xiao Qian spoke to soothe him, deciding not to leave him for the next two days so that he won’t worry.
She wiped his face with a warm towel, and although his fever hadn’t subsided yet, his face was slightly red and his eyes were exceptionally bright.
He watched as Xiao Qian busied herself for him.
He watched her face, he watched everything about her.
Xiao Qian felt the warmth of his gaze and guilt welled up in her heart.
When she left in her past life, had he experienced the same thing, what had he gone through in the places unseen to her?
The nurse came in, wondering if it was time to remove the needle.
Instead, she only saw the two of them embracing each other.
Hearing someone, Yu Minglang immediately turned his head and glared fiercely at the unwelcome light bulb.
Poor little nurse had been scared by Yu Minglang before and now it happened again. She couldn’t wait to run out the door, shouting, “Head nurse! They want to change rooms!”
“I…I just wanted to see if it’s time to change the medicine…”
“I’ll pull it out when it’s time!” Yu Minglang said irritably.
Xiao Qian thought to herself, both of your hands can’t move, do you have to use your teeth?
“I’ll call you later, thank you.” Xiao Qian politely told the nurse who couldn’t wait to run out.
“Why are you so fierce to girls too?” Xiao Qian asked Yu Minglang.
“Don’t try to act smart with me! If I were nice to other women, you’d be throwing a fit.”
Xiao Qian smiled gently at him and leaned her head on his chest.
It’s rare to see her so well-behaved, like a kitten that has put away its claws.
However, when Yu Minglang thought about the big price that had to be paid for her to be this obedient, he couldn’t feel happy.
When the IV bottle was empty and the needle removed, Yu Minglang moved his wrist slightly. Xiao Qian was preoccupied with testing his body temperature with her hand and didn’t notice that his gaze at that moment was a little too fierce.
“The fever is gone, it’s not hot anymore.” Xiao Qian muttered to herself, not knowing whether it was the fever reducing medicine that worked or the heat from rolling around with him just now.
As she tried to pull her hand back, suddenly she felt it tighten – Yu Minglang gripped her firmly.
“Chen Xiaoqian, between us, it seems like some score still hasn’t been settled. As I recall, before today, someone ran to me and declared, most earnestly, that she wanted to break up with me?”
“Huh, really?” Xiao Qian smelled trouble and tried to slip away but was dragged back by him and pinned down!
