Chapter 28 Isnst It Better to Be Obedient? (1/2)
A Miao's smile instantly disappeared. Le Yi got up while shaking his head. ”Have you been here for long?”
Le Yi meant that he must have heard most of their conversation.
”I just got here,” Shen Xinglan shamelessly lied. He then looked coldly at A Miao. ”You better recover as soon as possible. Otherwise, don't dream of going to classes in the second half of the year.”
A Miao stared at him and suddenly smiled. ”I'm not in a hurry then. Worse comes to worst, I'll just attend next year.”
What she did not know was that her smile earlier had stupefied Shen Xinglan. It was as if the soft and gentle little girl in his memories was lying on his body, saying,
”Brother Lan, it'll stop hurting after I blow on it…”
Le Yi called him. ”Shen?”
”I'm fine.” Shen Xinglan sat down on the sofa. ”How soon can her hands recover?”
”One and a half month if she obediently follows the treatment,” Le Yi said disapprovingly. ”Speaking as her doctor, I recommend that she doesn't overexert herself in these two months.”
Shen Xinglan turned to look at A Miao as if he had not heard Le Yi. ”Did you hear him? One and a half month.”
”Hehe, I'm not deaf. Of course I can hear him.” A Miao stared at him mockingly. ”You really played yourself this time. Look, this is your karma!”
Le Yi crossed his arms and watched in amusement as they bickered like children. When he happened to glance at the door, he placed a finger on his lips.
”A Miao, I'm here to see you!” Xia Wan pushed the door open and entered the room before her voice had even faded. Her heart jumped with joy when she saw Shen Xinglan.
She knew that she would meet him if she came here, but she did not expect her prediction to come true.
”You're here too, Mr. Shen!” Xia Wan placed the vacuum flask on the table. Without even looking at A Miao, she turned to greet Shen Xinglan who was sitting on the sofa.
Looking as if he was watching a good show, Le Yi smiled as he moved aside to make space for Xia Wan. ”Please sit, Ms. Xia!” He then walked to the edge of the bed to pick up the vacuum flask. A Miao noticed he was frowning.
”Did she poison the food?” she asked earnestly.
”It's not that bad.” Le Yi chuckled. ”She just put too much pepper in this. I nearly sneezed just from smelling this.”
Xia Wan, who had focused her attention on Shen Xinglan all along, walked over in a panic after hearing Le Yi's words. ”How did that happen? It was Auntie Li who prepared the porridge. I already told her that it's for a patient…”
”When you speak to her, Xia Mei is with you, isn't she?” A Miao knew it could not be Xia Wan because the latter was trying to establish her presence in front of Shen Xinglan. Xia Wan would not embarrass herself. It must be Xia Mei's handiwork.
Xia Wan wore an awkward smile. ”I'm sorry. Xia Mei is too naughty.”
A Miao said nothing. It was Le Yi who smiled and said, ”It's fine. I'll go and prepare something.”
”Don't go through some much trouble. I'll just eat the hospital's food.” A Miao stopped him. She quite enjoyed the hospital's food.
Le Yi shook his head. ”No problem. I need to eat anyway.”
”Hang on.” Shen Xinglan stood up and looked at A Miao with a complicated expression. ”Recover as soon as possible.” Then, he followed Le Yi out of the room.
Seeing this, Xia Wan tried to go after them but she lost sight of them as soon as she stepped out. She had no choice but to return to the room.
”A Miao, how long did the doctor say you'll need to stay?” She picked up an apple and pretentiously began to cut it for A Miao. ”Mr. Shen is quite a good person. He even showed concern for you earlier even though you're the careless one and this has nothing to do with him.”
A Miao's expression was hidden behind a pair of sunglasses. But seeing as she did not reply, Xia Wan immediately added, ”Whatever it is, he has taken responsibility for your accident. If it's someone else, they might have just left.”
”Hehe.” A Miao tugged the corners of her mouth. ”That psycho is just worried that if I don't recover, I won't be able to steal your family's item!”
Xia Wan put down the apple. ”Anyway, why did Shen Xinglan take you away that day?”
”How would I know?” A Miao adjusted her position so she would lean more comfortably against the bed frame.
”Then what did he talk to you about?” Xia Wan refused to give up. ”Did… Did he mention my name?”
A Miao looked at her in alarm. Just how obsessed was this woman?
”He didn't?” Xia Wan's smile became unnatural.
”Yes, he did!” A Miao gave a small nod. ”He asked me what's going on between you and Bai Youran.”
”Since you like him so much, I'll give you a hand. That psycho, on the other hand…” A Miao thought. ”He should just marry Xia Wan. Then, the Xia family will naturally give him whatever he wants.”
”Really?” Xia Wan tried to grab A Miao's hands. Had A Miao been just a little slower in dodging her, her wounds would definitely reopen.
Xia Wan immediately stood up. ”Sorry! I'm sorry that I got overexcited. Are you okay?”
A Miao placed her heavily-bandaged hands aside. ”I'm fine. But please don't move anymore.”
”Yes, yes. I won't move anymore.” Xia Wan sat back down. ”Then… How did you answer him?”
”I just told him the truth!” A Miao smiled when she saw the change in Xia Wan's expression. ”Don't worry. I told him that Bai Youran is my fiance.”
Xia Wan instantly smiled. ”Then? What did he say next?”
A Miao shook her head. ”Nothing. He made me leave afterward.”
