The three of them walked into the pavilion one after another.

  The sunlight today was as bright and beautiful as yesterday.

  It shone in from the side and landed on Han Xiao’s side profile, his fair face appeared even fairer.

  The doctor put down this medical kit and nodded slightly. “Mr Han, I will do acupuncture on you today, it might be a little painful, please bear with it.”


  Han Xiao withdrew his gaze from Qin Shu and looked at the doctor. His voice was clear and cold. “Okay.”


  “I’ll push you inside.” Hua Wuyan took a step forward and pushed the wheelchair towards his room.

  The doctor carried the medical kit and followed closely.

  Qin Shu stood in the pavilion and watched them leave, she sat down in front of the stone table and looked at the Leucophyllum. It was no different from yesterday, blooming beautifully.

  In the room

  Han Xiao did everything on his own, he would not seek help from others.

  He laid down on the carved Pyrus wood bed, his lower body had changed into a pair of loose pants. The bottom of the pants was roll up to his knees, his legs were straight and slender, and the exposed skin was very fair.

  When the doctor did the acupuncture on Han Xiao, he said indifferently, “How confident are you in my recovery?”


  The doctor looked at Hua Wuyan and hesitated.

  Han Xiao said coldly, “I am asking you, why are you looking at him?”


  Hua Wuyan knew that he was angry, so he said, “Just tell the truth.”


  As Hua Wuyan had agreed, the doctor said in a trembling voice, “Mr Han had injured the meridians in his leg, if there is no feeling of any pain when performing acupuncture, the possibility of curing is very slim.”


  The expected answer, Han Xiao’s dark eyes didn’t show any emotion.

  Hua Wuyan pursed his lips and glanced at Han Xiao on the bed, he seemed to have accepted the fact that he was crippled by now, there was no expression on his face, nor did he resist.

  He looked like he was going to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

  About an hour and a half passed

  Hua Wuyan wheeled Han Xiao back into the pavilion.

  Qin Shu saw them walking over and stood up, she glanced at Han Xiao’s legs and asked anxiously, “What’s the outcome of the acupuncture?”


  Hua Wuyan beat them to it. “The doctor said that the medicine has just been applied, the effect of the acupuncture isn’t that obvious.”


  Qin Shu was a little disappointed, but she thought that since he just started on medication, it would probably be fine after a few more days.

  Han Xiao looked at Hua Wuyan, his eyes full of warning, he then looked at Qin Shu and said, “I’ve asked the chef to prepare some food, we’ll have lunch together later.”


  Qin Shu readily agreed. “Okay.”


  At lunchtime

  The servants placed the dishes on the table, arranged them before leaving.

  The dishes were prepared according to Qin Shu’s preferences.

  The three of them sat around the table, it was a rare occasion.

  As soon as the food was served, the aroma of the food assaulted their nostrils.

  Qin Shu had just taken a bowl of porridge in the morning and was already hungry, however, although she saw the sumptuous lunch preparation was all her favorite food, she did not have much appetite.

  She scooped a small bowl of rice for herself and only picked a few of the dishes.

  Han Xiao realized that Qin Shu did not eat much, he noticed that the food was prepared according to Qin Shu’s taste as he has requested.

  He looked at Qin Shu. “Are these dishes not to your liking?”


  Qin Shu shook her head. “No, these are my favorites.”


  Hua Wuyan raised his head to look at Qin Shu, he also noticed that Qin Shu’s appetite had not been very good these two days.

  “Are you feeling unwell? You haven’t been eating much these past two days.”


  Qin Shu thought for a moment and said, “Perhaps I am not used to a new place, I’ll be fine in two days.”


  “I’ll get someone to get a doctor to take a look at you.” Han Xiao raised his eyes and was about to give his instructions.

  Qin Shu stopped him. “I’m fine, other than my appetite, everything else is fine.”


  Han Xiao stared at her for a while, “If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me.”


  Qin Shu nodded. “Okay.”


  Hua Wuyan looked at the two sitting opposite him, all of them eating together was something they often do on the mountain, when they have meals, the three of them would eat together at the same table.

  If Qin Shu could stay here forever…


  When the meal was almost finished, Han Xiao put down his chopsticks and looked at Qin Shu. “The weather tomorrow will be very good, you’ve been here for two days, I’ll ask Wuyan to send you back tomorrow.”


  Hua Wuyan suddenly raised his head and looked at Han Xiao. “Brother Han, it’s rare for Qin Shu to come to Qi Hua…”


  Before Hua Wuyan could finish his words, Han Xiao’s cold gaze swept over him, making him shut up immediately.

  Qin Shu put down her chopsticks and looked at Hua Wuyan, Hua Wuyan also looked at her, his gaze was very obvious that he did not want her to leave so soon.

  As only Qin Shu’s words could have some effect on Han Xiao.

  She shifted her gaze to Han Xiao and said slowly, “I won’t leave for the time being, I’ll go back when your leg gets better.”


  Han Xiao said, “My leg will recover soon, you don’t have to waste your time here.”


  “I’m not wasting my time.”


  Qin Shu glanced at Han Xiao’s leg, she would not be able to feel at ease for the rest of her life if his leg was not healed.

  A pair of legs was very important to a person, even if she had never experienced it before, she knew that regardless of whether it was daily living or the rest of her life, it was a fatal injury.

  Han Xiao was only 23 years old, he was still young and should not be ruined by a single leg.

  No matter what, she had to heal his leg.

  “There aren’t many days left till the New Year, it’s Qin Shu’s first time here, it’s not too late for her to return home after the New Year,” Hua Wuyan hurriedly said.

  New Year?

  Qin Shu was startled when she heard that, the man had said that he would take her to meet his parents, who were her in-laws, during the New Year.

  If she stayed in Qi Hua, she wouldn’t be able to follow the man to meet his parents.

  At this moment, Li Hang walked in. “Mr Han, the eldest son of the Rong family is here to visit.”


  Hua Wuyan looked at Han Xiao when he heard that, he had a bad feeling, the eldest son of the Rong family was Rong Yan’s eldest brother, Rong Qi.

  The reason why he came to look for brother Han was related to their engagement.

  Han Xiao paused and looked at Qin Shu, he instructed, “Tell him that I’m not free today, I’ll arrange to meet him tomorrow.”


  “Understood, Mr Han.”


  Before Li Hang left, Rong Qi’s voice was heard. “Han Xiao, you’re so busy that you don’t even have time to see me?”


  As soon as he finished speaking, a tall figure walked in.

  Qin Shu raised her head to look at the door and saw that the person was tall and handsome.

  However, the tone of his voice was a little lacking.

  Han Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Rong Qi who walked in. “You came at a bad time.”


  Han Xiao was a little cold because he had interrupted Qin Shu and his lunch and affected Qin Shu’s mood.

  “Do you think I’m idling every day? Of course, I’m here when I’m free.” Rong Qi walked in and saw the other two at the dining table, he recognized one of them, it was the eldest son of the Hua family, Hua Wuyan.

  His gaze then turned to the woman beside Han Xiao, she looked unfamiliar, he was sure that he had not met her.

  A trace of doubt flashed across his eyes.

  But he did not bother who she was.

  As the purpose of his visit today was about the engagement.
