Don Juanes chin rested against her shoulder and called out lowly, “Xin’er.”
His thin lips, pressed against her earlobe.
Warm breath, spurting on the contours of her ear.
Her small ears, all turned scarlet from his proximity.
Fearing she was going soft, Shang Xin took an uncomfortable step forward, trying to get away from him.
Just as she took a step, Tang Yuan Si behind her followed suit, pressing against her back, his voice gentle.
“If I felt uncomfortable I would tell you right away, but look at me now I’m fine and being in a wheelchair makes me feel like a burden to you.”
Tang Yuan Si’s words fell and Shang Xin put the clothes in his hands back in the wardrobe.
Finally, he looked back at him.
Just when Tang Yuan Si thought he had finally convinced her, he heard her turn her head and say to the doctor, “We’re not getting out of the hospital, I’m going to re-institute now.”
“I’m sitting!” Tang Yuan Si spoke without thinking as he tugged at her.
“Not to mention the wheelchair, I’ll sit on the pin board if you tell me to now!”
“Not ashamed of yourself or feeling like a liability anymore?” Shang Xin asked teasingly as she looked down at the arm he was holding onto.
Tang Yuan Si: “……”
Where did he dare now.
Afraid that his daughter-in-law would take his child and leave him alone in the darkness of the hospital in a fit of pique.
He hadn’t forgotten that his son, who had grown up to be a good talker, could not be pulled by ten cows when he became stubborn.
Resigned to his fate, Tang Yuansi went to his wheelchair and sat down.
He was wondering whether he should learn how to push the wheelchair himself or let the a*sistant do it, when Shang Xin already came up behind him, took hold of the wheelchair handle and pushed him forward.
Tang Yuan Si’s brow knitted, “Heart, you are still pregnant with the baby ……”
“What’s wrong with carrying a baby? The baby is still small, I’m not overjoyed, and the doctor has said that if you don’t feel unwell, a little more exercise is good for both the baby and the mother.”
Shang Xin interrupted and pushed him straight out of the ward.
All the way down the stairs and out of the hospital, the combination of handsome man and beautiful woman drew many people to look back.
When they saw Tang Yuansi in his wheelchair, they all had a sympathetic look in their eyes: “Young and handsome, how come he’s crippled?
Tang Yuansi could hardly sit still and got up from his wheelchair to prove that he was able-bodied.
“Heart, that’s what you’re after isn’t it? To show me how useless I am now ……”
“Shout–”
The wheelchair jerked to a halt.
Had Don Juanes not been quick enough to grab the armrest, he would have lunged out by now.
Stunned, he turned back to the man behind him.
Shang Xin was also looking at him with burning eyes.
A softly quirked lip.
“And that’s called useless?”
“Heart, I’m just ……” Don Juanes met her disappointed gaze and for a moment didn’t know how to tell her that he was just sick of this, of needing her to take care of him at every turn.
Shang Xin loosened her grip on the wheelchair and walked around to him.
“Brother S, can you stand up?”
At his words, Tang Yuan Si froze and leapt up from his wheelchair, stretching comfortably.
He was about to tell her that he might be better off walking when Shang Xin had spoken calmly.
“Look, you can stand up if you want to, just let you sit in a wheelchair for a while and you feel useless, if one day, you really can’t stand up even if you want to ……”
Before Shang Xin had even finished his words, Tang Yuan Si’s face had already changed.
