Chapter 878 - The Truth about Eight Years Ago (26) (2/2)

The moment he saw her, he was relieved.

Qiao Lian stood there and said cheerfully, “Oh, you’re awake? Are you hungry? I’ve made pig’s trotters soup. They say one should eat what one wishes to heal. Since you’ve injured your leg, it means that for the next few days you’ll have to have pig’s trotters soup!”

Seeing a mischievous and lively Qiao Lian, Shen Liangchuan nodded and said, “Ok.”

He broke into a smile.

That smile was like light sunlight, brightening the whole room.

It made Qiao Lian’s eyes sting a little.

Quickly, she turned away and walked over to pour some soup out for the man.

Shen Liangchuan glanced at it—soybean pig’s trotters soup. It was food for pregnant women, it looked greasy and just a little disgusting.

Frowning, he said, “It’s my bone that has been injured. Shouldn’t I be having pork rib soup? Why is it pig’s trotters soup?

Qiao Lian turned frosty at once, saying, “Just drink whatever you’re given. Why so you have to talk so much?”

At this, she thrust the bowl into his hands and ordered, “Hurry, drink it!”

Shen Liangchuan looked at her with a helpless expression. Then holding his breath, he gulped all of it down.

After he had eaten the soup, Xia Yehua woke up.

Upon seeing Qiao Lian, she immediately said, “You’re back?”

Qiao Lian nodded and replied, “Mom, you should go home. I’m here to mind him now.”

Xia Yehua was still feeling uneasy and said, “But—”

“Mom, no buts.” Qiao Lian looked at her and smiled. “He injured his leg and that’s all. It will be fine, but you don’t have the best of health. If you get stressed, your blood pressure might go up. What will we do then?”

Xia Yehua could only nod and say, “Ok.”

After the elderly woman left, Qiao Lian took out a bento box in which she had put together a nutritious mix of foods.

After Shen Liangchuan had eaten, she tidied up for a bit.

Then she took the utensils to the restroom and washed them.

She walked back into the room when everything was done, looking busy like a little wife.

Looking at her, Shen Liangchuan felt at ease.
