Chapter 74: New Ability (1/2)
Shen Yao paid the bill, but before she could even go take a good look at Xu Cheng in the ward, she was pulled back by Ran Jing.
“With his condition right now, doesn’t he need someone to take care of him?” Shen Yao was getting anxious, seeing that there was only Wang Ying in the room with Xu Cheng. How could she give this chance to some other woman?
“It’s fine, I just asked her. She’s the representative of Shangcheng’s military region, and she will be responsible for taking care of him. This time, the city’s officials will be coming to award him too. Just go home first and come back to check on Xu Cheng when he’s better,” Ran Jing said as she dragged her away.
“Do I look like a three-year-old? You think the military would send someone this pretty as the representative?” Shen Yao was obviously unhappy about this arrangement. “This woman obviously has other feelings for Xu Cheng.”
“So what, you are not Xu Cheng’s girlfriend.” Ran Jing was speechless.
“I’m just trying to get myself familiar with the role first,” Shen Yao replied.
“Okay, the officials are coming in a bit, it’s inconvenient for you to be here.” Ran Jing finally pulled Shen Yao away. After they left, Lin Chuxue finally came out from the washroom, and she went into the ward to see Xu Cheng.
It was her that asked Ran Jing to take Shen Yao away. She didn’t want her relationship with Xu Cheng exposed to Shen Yao, or Shen Yao would feel like she never treated her as a real friend since she never told her something as big as this. The relationship between women is very delicate since they are very sensitive. Trust was a very serious and important thing between girlfriends.
Just when Lin Chuxue was about to head in, Lin Lei led their parents and rushed over from the other end of the hall.
Lin Guiren’s first words were to ask, “How’s Cheng doing?”
“He’s inside,” Lin Chuxue whispered.
When Lin Guiren walked in and saw Xu Cheng who was still unconscious and laying in the bed, he walked over and sat down by the bed. Across from him was a curious Wang Ying looking at him.
“I’m sorry, can you give us a moment?” Lin Chuxue was scared that Lin Guiren would expose her relationship with Xu Cheng, so she greeted Wang Ying in advance.
Wang Ying nodded, got up, and left the room.
“How did this happen?” Lin Guiren frowned and asked Lin Chuxue.
Lin Chuxue told them everything. Lin Guiren sighed, “This child…”
Lin Chuxue’s mother was a wealthy British lady, and she looked to be very wise and gentle. Now that she knew that Xu Cheng was no longer in danger, she glanced at her daughter and asked, “What’s going on between you two? You’ve been married for three years, so why is there still no news from your tummy?”
Lin Chuxue’s face blushed. “Mom, I’m still young.”
“24 is not young anymore!” Her mom gave her a look.
Lin Lei sat on the side and didn’t say nuffin. He just looked at Xu Cheng on the bed, and after awhile, he finally whispered, “Sis, you should be careful. Based on my experience, that beautiful lady that just went out has a thing for my brother-in-law.”
Lin Chuxue gave him a look.
“Oh, who’s that girl?” Mommy Lin asked in curiosity.
