The VIP ward .
Sheng Yize had woken up and was now leaning back against his pillow with a grim face . The medical staff and his assistant shivered at the intimidating air he was giving off .
Aww! Mrs . Sheng, where are you? Come back now or we won’t live to see another sunrise!
“Sheng Yize~” Everyone turned toward the door in unison when they heard that soft voice .
In their eyes, An Xiaxia had just shown up with a halo over her head . Their savior was back!
The chilly air coming off Sheng Yize vanished instantly and he darted her a quick glance .
He didn’t know what An Xiaxia was thinking and had to presume that she was still mad at him .
“Are you hungry? Do you want some congee?”
“Hm,” he said quietly while he scanned the room with his eyes .
Everyone took the hint right away and disappeared from the room, leaving their boss and his wife alone .
An Xiaxia brought the food to his side and Sheng Yize acted as weak as a crippled man .
“Let me feed you, ok?” An Xiaxia suggested . After all, he was a patient .
Sheng Yize reluctantly said, “Hm . ”
An Xiaxia fed him the congee with a spoon while jabbering about what had happened . “I ran into Qi Yanxi just then . He said he likes Mu Li! I think they can work it out! Childhood lovers… that sounds so cute! Aah! I have faith in love again!”
Tsundere Sheng Yize said, “We’re childhood lovers, too . ”
“That’s not even my point!”
“I know . ”
“How can you be so indifferent to such big news! I don’t even want to talk to you!” An Xiaxia complained, wiping his mouth clean with a tissue .
That gesture pleased Sheng Yize . Smiling a little, he played along . “Wow! That’s great news! Relly? Are they getting married?”
An Xiaxia was very satisfied with this reaction . “Teehee! I think so!”
It felt so harmonious and warm .
However, the longer this atmosphere lasted, the more unsure Sheng Yize became .
He even wished that he could be sick for longer .
Otherwise, An Xiaxia’s anger would pick up again once he recovered…
“Xiaxia… I’m sorry about tricking you into marrying me . Can you forgive me?”
This was probably the very first time that Sheng Yize had ever yielded .
An Xiaxia’s eyes were wide open and she stared at him with unblinking eyes .
Sheng Yize’s heart sank . She still wouldn’t forgive him…
“Hey! Why didn’t you say that earlier?” An Xiaxia snorted . “Say ‘Lord Xiaxia, it’s all my fault’ and I’ll forgive you . ”
Sheng Yize was dazed for a moment before asking cautiously, “You’re not mad anymore?”
“Of course I am!” An Xiaxia glared at him . “Say it, or my offer will expire!”
His thin lips moved a little . Obviously, Sheng Yize couldn’t bring himself to say such words . He blinked, looking very innocent . “Xiaxia, my stomach is aching again . ”
“What? Have I fed you too much? Where’s the doctor? Let me get him for you!” An Xiaxia jumped to her feet in a flurry, but Sheng Yize caught her arm right away .
He led her hand to his lower abdomen, his brooding eyes twinkling . “Rub my belly for me . ”
An Xiaxia bought his act and began to rub his belly gently .
As for that “Lord Xiaxia” line, she had completely forgotten about it .
Sheng Yize smiled . However, he didn’t stay calm for very long…
That soft, tender hand and the comforting movements on his belly soon woke his urges…
Had he just dug his own grave?
