Chapter 294 - Wan Qingsis OCD (1/2)

“Are you in pain?” Wan Qingsi asked, his eyes filled with a pained look.

The woman on the bed turned around and returned his hug; however, she was shoved away harshly by Wan Qingsi a second later.

“Who the hell are you?”

The woman on the bed raised her head to look at Wan Qingsi. “You didn’t even spare a second thought before pushing me away,” she said. “Is there really that big of a difference between me and her? Aren’t we both women?”

“You truly disgust me,” Wan Qingsi bit out coldly as he made his way to the door. “If this happens again, I might just end up killing you.”

A strange smile formed on An Ru’s face as she watched him leave the room.

Wan Qingsi’s face was filled with rage as he stormed into Ying’s residence. When he saw the bandage on Ah Sha’s forehead, he quickly tamped down his anger and put on a neutral face. He walked up to Ah Sha and asked, “How are you feeling?” He reached out to touch her, but when his hand was inches away from her skin, a thought occurred to him and he stilled his hand. He clenched his teeth and held himself back.

“I’m fine,” Ah Sha said, looking at him. “Mommy already applied ointment onto my bruises. What’s the matter with you?”

Just then, Ying Qingcang wheeled Xin Qing out from the dining hall. Xin Qing waved at Wan Qingsi when she saw him. “You haven’t eaten yet, right, Xunxun? Go on, help yourself to something.”

“Eat?” Ying Qingcang glared at Wan Qingsi. “Look what happened after we left our daughter in his care? Apparently, this is his idea of ‘protecting’ our daughter. What a joke. He doesn’t have the right to eat.”

“Daddy!” Ah Sha shouted, angered by Ying Qingcang’s accusation. “None of this is his fault, okay?”

Xin Qing patted Ying Qingcang’s arm comfortingly. “Hey, that’s enough, okay? Can’t you see that the kids are already having a hard time? You’re making them feel worse than they already are.”

Ah Sha reached for Wan Qingsi’s hand and said, “I’m going with you! Let’s eat something together!” Wan Qingsi’s reaction, however, was not what she had been expecting; he took a huge step away from her and yelled, “No! Don’t touch me!”

What ensued was an eerie silence which permeated every corner of the large mansion. Ying Qingcang broke the silence first by charging towards Wan Qingsi in an attempt to kick him. Then, Ah Sha reacted by standing up in order to stop Ying Qingcang from hurting Wan Qingsi. A sharp pain shot through her leg the moment she stood up. Ah Sha’s knees crashed into the floor as she knelt down in pain. Horrified, Wan Qingsi’s hand shot out by instinct in order to help Ah Sha to her feet. But once again, his hand stopped short when it was just about to touch her.

“Ah Cang!” Xin Qing yelled. “Help our daughter up first.”

Ah Sha brushed off Ying Qingcang’s attempt to help. “I’m fine, daddy. Leave me alone.” Ah Sha stared at Wan Qingsi. “What on earth is going on with you?”

Wan Qingsi balled his fists and stared at the floor, his body shaking all over. Ah Sha frowned at his behavior. “Did you touch something?”

“I… I…” Wan Qingsi stammered. Then, all of a sudden, he raised his head, revealing a pair of eyes that were filled with hatred. His eyes looked so scary that it made both Xin Qing and Ah Sha jump slightly.

“It’s okay, Xunxun. Just tell us what’s bothering you. Come, my dear boy. You can tell us!” Xin Qing said, reaching out to take Xunxun’s arm. But before Xin Qing could even reach him, Ying Qingcang stepped in and dragged Wan Qingsi to the couch. After that, Ying Qingcang helped Ah Sha up from the floor.

“Spit it out, kid. We don’t have all day,” Ying Qingcang said. “You’re a big man. What are you so scared of?”

With his head hanging low, Wan Qingsi spilled his guts about what happened at the hospital. As he talked, Ah Sha just stared at him with a look of incredulity; she honestly didn’t know whether to cry or laugh at how ridiculous his behavior was.

“So, let me get this straight,” Ah Sha said. “You just hugged her, that’s all.”

“Yes. I swear to God that’s all I did. Just for a brief moment. I don’t think it even lasted for a second.”

Ah Sha patted Wan Qingsi’s head. “It’s okay,” she said. “It’s not like you did it on purpose. Besides, you didn’t know it wasn’t me!”

Xin Qing stared at Wan Qingsi in amusement. “Seriously, kid, why are you so finicky!”

“Hahahaha!” Ying Qingcang was the only one who reveled in Wan Qingsi’s predicament.

Realizing that Ah Sha wasn’t mad at him, Wan Qingsi stood up with a frown. “I’m going to take a shower first,” he said. Then, he made a beeline upstairs.

Ah Sha smiled cheekily at Ying Qingcang. “Sometimes I wonder if Brother Xunxun is your biological son. You two are so alike.”

“Nonsense,” Ying Qingcang said. “You think I’m as stupid as he is?”

Xin Qing pointed a finger at Ying Qingcang. “But his OCD could give yours a run for its money!”

Ah Sha took out her laptop from her bag and logged on to Wan Qingsi’s Weibo account. Then, she uploaded a photo of the two of them hugging each other. She added a short paragraph to the post.

“There was an accident at the movie set today. Had an encounter with An Ru (not sure what kind of health problem she has) while getting Mei Jing her treatment at the hospital. I always thought An Ru was some kind of wacko and a pervert. But surprisingly, we managed to have a civil conversation, which led to my revising my opinion of her. I find her to be quite reasonable, and we’ve now reached an understanding.”

In another post, Ah Sha wrote, “We’ve agreed to keep our relationship strictly platonic. I even gave her a friendly hug. I hope you get well soon, my friend!”

Then, Ah Sha wrote one last post, “Of course, I’d like to express just how lucky we are that our Mei Jing is fine. I’ve already brought her home!”

Not five minutes after Ah Sha had made that last Weibo post, An Ru posted a photo on her own Weibo account. The photo was captured at the exact moment where Wan Qingsi had hugged An Ru at the hospital. An Ru had even added several flirtatious remarks to the post; something about her being in a good mood because the man she loved had come to visit her.

“Gee, what is the matter with this woman?” Xin Qing said, clearly appalled by An Ru’s behavior. Then, she turned to look at Ying Qingcang and said, “She’s even more obsessed than those women who chased after you back then.”

Ying Qingcang’s face darkened instantly, and he stole a kiss from Xin Qing.

A while later, Ah Sha received two calls, one from Qi Xiu and the other from Zhou Na— most likely because neither of them could get a hold of Wan Qingsi. Ah Sha requested Qi Xiu to get a new phone and number for Wan Qingsi. She also told Zhou Na about what she did on Weibo and asked Zhou Na to pick up where she had left off.

It wasn’t until Ah Sha had finish making all the necessary arrangements that a freshly showered Wan Qingsi came back downstairs.

Ah Sha turned to face him with her hands outstretched. “Hug!”
