Chapter 1304 You...you...your fever has gone down?
When Wenren Qichi heard what Cheng Yan said, his eyes showed a hint of surprise and emotion as he looked deeply at Su Yueyao.
Cheng Yan looked at his expression, let out a breath, and said softly, "Your self-inflicted injury ruse last night was quite effective."
Hearing Cheng Yan's words, Wenren Qichi's gaze did not leave Su Yueyao. His voice was a little hoarse as he explained, "I didn't use a self-inflicted injury trick. I applied a tendon-regenerating ointment to the wound, which caused a high fever. Once the fever subsides and the pain lessens, the tendons and veins will gradually heal."
"If my hands are truly useless, I am not qualified to stay by her side."
At this moment, Wenren Qichi appeared calm on the surface, but he was extremely excited inside. He really did not expect Su Yueyao to come to see him and stay with him all night. He wondered if he had done anything wrong last night.
And is his appearance bad right now? Does she dislike it?
There really are people in this world who treat others with such sincerity. His mother and father had been through thick and thin together, yet neither of them were by his side when his father was ill. How could such a woman not move his heart?
Upon hearing Wenren Qichi's words, Cheng Yan pursed her lips and, almost without thinking, asked in disbelief, "Your tendon-regenerating ointment can heal your injury? Your hand won't be crippled?"
Wenren Qichi didn't explain, but glanced at the doorway. The next second, Chengyao's voice came in: "What? You used Shengjin Gao? Is it the Shengjin Gao I know?"
Upon hearing Cheng Yao's voice, Cheng Yan immediately darted over and slapped him on the shoulder. The next second, she covered his mouth to prevent him from making a loud noise.
Cheng Yao was initially in pain from Cheng Yan's slap, and just as she was about to speak, Cheng Yan covered her mouth.
"Ugh...you...let me go...ugh...."
"Don't shout, my wife is still sleeping! She didn't get a good rest last night."
Cheng Yao nodded, and Cheng Yan only took her hand away from his mouth after confirming it. As she did so, she wiped her hand on Cheng Yao's clothes.
Seeing Cheng Yan's actions, Cheng Yao angrily said, "Cheng Yan, you..."
"Keep your voice down! Or I'll throw you out."
Cheng Yao's face flushed red with anger, and he said through gritted teeth in a very soft voice, "I understand, I promise I won't wake your wife!"
Cheng Yan nodded upon hearing this, then slipped to the bedside. Seeing Wenren Qichi's still-holding hand, she snorted, "Young Master Wenren, can you let go of my wife's hand now? If you hadn't held on so tightly last night, would my wife be lying on the bed so aggrieved? She even came to feed you medicine herself, and you're still not satisfied."
"The Queen... even personally fed me the medicine?" Wenren Qichi smiled upon hearing this.
Cheng Yan: "................................................................"
Is that the point? The point isn't that he should take his hand off his wife's right now! Trying to take advantage of his wife before they're even married? Dream on.
"Let go of my hand."
Hearing Cheng Yan's gritted teeth, Wenren Qichi reluctantly and slowly released his grip, but his eyes remained fixed on Su Yueyao.
Perhaps their gazes were too intense, for Su Yueyao opened her eyes somewhat groggily, only to find herself directly facing Wenren Qichi.
Su Yueyao immediately realized what was happening and sat up abruptly, but then, remembering something, she turned to look at him.
"You...you...your fever has gone down?"
Cheng Yan immediately replied, "My wife's fever has subsided, so we can rest assured. Shall we go back to the room? After all, this is Young Master Wenren's room."
Hearing Cheng Yan's words, Su Yueyao nodded in agreement and looked at Wenren Qichi, saying, "Now that you're awake, you should rest and recuperate. Or should I go first..."
"My lady, thank you for taking care of me last night. I've never had anyone treat me so kindly before," Wenren Qichi said with a hint of gratitude and affection in her voice.
Su Yueyao felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't know why. She subconsciously lifted the blanket covering her and waved her hand, "No need to thank me. You were injured while saving me, so it's only right that I take care of you."
Just as she turned to get off the soft couch, she felt her clothes being pulled. Turning her head, she saw Wenren Qichi looking down, very disappointed.
"My lady... I saved you willingly. What merit do I, a man, have to be taken care of by you personally? My father and mother have been at odds since I was a child, and they have never cared about me. My lady, could you please spend more time with me?"
Upon hearing Wenren Qichi's words, Cheng Yan immediately said, "You...don't go..."
Wenren Qichi seemed not to hear Cheng Yan's words, keeping his head down and not daring to look at Su Yueyao as he continued speaking with a choked voice:
“The Wenren family has always valued the capable. If someone is too mediocre, they will be abandoned by the family. My father was very strict with me from a young age so that I would be favored by my mother. Even when I was sick, he never took a break.”
"This is the first time someone has been willing to stay with me and take care of me all night."
As Wenren Qichi spoke, she became more and more pitiful, her whole being filled with sorrow. Su Yueyao, who was about to get off the bed, suddenly couldn't bring herself to do it. She couldn't bear to be cruel to such a frail and broken Wenren Qichi.
Meanwhile, at the Wenren residence in Fengdu, far away...
Wen's mother and father both sneezed twice in a row.
“My lady, have you caught a chill? I’ll have a servant bring you a cloak.”
Looking at her worried husband, Wen's mother smiled and said, "I'm fine. You hit two people too. I just suddenly felt cold. Don't you think Chi'er missed us?"
"Would he miss us? He's a good son if he doesn't talk about us behind our backs," Father Wen snorted.
As if ignoring Mr. Wen's disgruntled snort, Mother Wen continued, "If Chi'er isn't interested in Lady Su, why didn't he come to the full moon banquet held at the Su residence? He even went to Xuanming Temple these past two days. Is he praying for a marriage between him and Lady Su?"
“My lady, Chi’er has always been very opinionated. Once he sets his mind on something, nothing can change his mind. I think his motives for going to Xuanming Temple are definitely not pure. Besides, he doesn’t believe in ghosts or gods, so he’s not going up the mountain to seek a marriage.” Father Wen said with some disdain.
“You, as a father, are already complaining about your own child. Chi’er has been steady and reliable since he was little, and we don’t have to worry about him at all. It’s rare that he has found a woman he likes.”
“My lady, don’t you see the woman he’s fallen for? Putting aside the fact that Su Yueyao is the future empress’s birth mother, just look at the men in her harem. None of them are easy to deal with.”
"Although Chi'er isn't a good person either..." Father Wen paused for a moment before continuing:
"But Su Yueyao never intended to marry him before. A few days ago, he was even helping her out for her husband. If he were to enter her household, let's see if he would have an easy time."
