Chapter 61 - Do You Feel Anything? (2/2)

Tang Qiu’s hand dropped reluctantly. “I’ll go prepare dinner, then.”

She hadn’t risen to the bait. Ke Liuyi extinguished her temper before it could spring to life, like the errant spark of a flame. “I’ve already made dinner, Mrs Shaocheng,” she replied with an affable smile.

“… Oh. In that case, thank you.” Tang Qiu still didn’t think it was right for Ke Liuyi to trouble herself, but she let it slide for now. “Do call me Qiu instead, Doctor Ke. ‘Mrs Shaocheng’ sounds a little strange.”

“As you wish.” Ke Liuyi pretended to cast a helpless smile at Jiang Shaocheng. Look, this woman doesn’t want to be referred to as your wife. Still think she’s good enough for you? “You don’t have to be so polite around me, Qiu. I just hope you don’t despise my cooking.”

“Of course not.” In fact, the aroma wafting from the table full of dishes was incredibly appetizing.

“I’ve also already prepared the cutlery and cleaned up the kitchen. Why don’t you take a seat, Qiu?”

Before Tang Qiu could respond, Jiang Shaocheng pulled her towards a chair. “Just relax,” he said. “She had the time on her hands, anyway.”

His remark made Liu Keyi’s heart bleed, a small but swift trickle. I’m doing all this for you, she thought.

Not that Jiang Shaocheng would have cared, even if he knew.

After dinner, Tang Qiu consulted a diagram of human anatomy in her textbook and asked, “Dear, how are your legs now?”

“I’m starting to feel a little sensation in them.”

Tang Qiu’s eyes lit up. Abandoning her book, she squatted beside his wheelchair and pinched his legs. “How about this? Do you feel anything?”

He stared at her, words failing him.
