“May I know why you chose me?”

Fang Qing could never understand, even if she had an oracle for her heart.

Xu Yi stared at her and thought to himself. “Because I feel sorry for you?”

“Because you’re easy to control, and we can fulfill each other’s needs.”

“Alright, aren’t you worried that I’ll pester you?”

“Miss Fang, I don’t think you’re capable of that. I’m doing that to make grandfather happy. Don’t think too much, lest you cause any trouble for me.”

Xu Yi’s wasn’t soft-spoken anymore. His words were laced with warnings instead.

Fang Qing heaved a sigh of relief at his explanation. If it was just that simple, it was great for her.

But…

Making his grandfather happy?

“Making your grandfather happy? Does your family still believe in such a custom? What is the purpose of this?”

Even marriage was a child play to him.

Xu Yi kept silent for a moment before he explained. “My grandfather is very ill and is being treated. I want him to be happy. So, it was to do with custom and belief. You can ask me if you have questions. But think twice when you speak in front of him.”

“Okay, okay. I’ll keep that in mind.”

Fang Qing appeared to be very obedient.

She accepted with an open heart now that she was sure the marriage was purely transactional.

Else she could only submit herself to other’s mercy if she had no negotiation power in this transaction.

Relieved that they had come to an agreement, Fang Qing wanted to change the topic immediately.

“Don’t worry. I’m just curious. Oh yea, your phone rang…”

Fang Qing had wanted to ask about the picture she glimpsed on earlier. It seemed familiar to her, and she wanted to take another look.

But she was interrupted by the phone call.

Xu Yi stood up, but he did not answer the call immediately. Instead, he left her words. “I’ll send someone to pick you up. Rest well in the hospital until then. Don’t cause any trouble. I’ll definitely take care of your brother’s matter.”

Fang Qing knew what he meant.

“Sure.”

Xu Yi strode out from the ward.

Having nothing to do, Fang Qing lay down on her bed and organized her thoughts.

When Xu Yi was out of the ward, he smiled a little to himself before he picked up the call from his grandfather.
