“Wait there and don’t move, I’ll be right there!”
Although he wasn’t very fond of this girl.
But it seemed his mother was quite satisfied, so he didn’t refuse.
The two of them were currently still in the blind date stage.
The girl called for help, and regardless of the situation, he couldn’t just ignore it, so…
Xu Jingyu put down his work and hurried out.
…
He parked the car on the roadside, lifted Shih Wanxin into his car, and then phoned the family doctor.
The series of actions flowed seamlessly, completed in one go.
Shih Wanxin sat in the passenger seat, looking shy.
“Sorry, I…”
“I didn’t know the road was so slippery, and my high heels were a bit unstable, so I fell!”
Xu Jingyu gave a faint smile.
“It’s nothing!”
“I’ve already called the family doctor, he’ll come over later to diagnose you!”
Shih Wanxin lowered her head, her voice softening, looking pitiful again.
“If it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t know what to do?”
“Thank goodness you came!”
“Xu Jingyu, you’re really kind!”
Xu Jingyu, being straightforward and a science-oriented guy, had never been praised by a pretty girl like this before, feeling somewhat uneasy.
His cheeks even showed a slight blush.
“It’s… it’s okay, my home is nearby, it’s only right!”
Shih Wanxin chuckled, instead commenting.
“Calling each other’s names feels quite distant!”
“Why don’t we change it, from now on… I’ll call you Ah Yu, and you can call me Wanxin, how about that?”
Xu Jingyu was a bit stunned.
This was progressing a bit fast, he hadn’t figured out how to reject her yet.
This Shih Wanxin… isn’t his type!
He likes quiet and reserved girls!
“Well…”
“You wouldn’t disagree, would you!”
Just when he was about to refuse, Shih Wanxin said this.
Xu Jingyu, shy, had no choice but to close his mouth.
“Alright then!” As long as you’re happy!
Shih Wanxin was very pleased.
Her eyes sparkled as if she could already see herself marrying into the Xu Family, becoming the glamorous young lady.
Oh, how wonderful!
It seemed… twisting her ankle like this was worth it.
…
The Xu Family Villa soon appeared.
Not far from the Zhao Family but styled completely differently.
If the Zhao Family Villa favored Western elegance and luxury.
The Xu Family Villa favored Eastern classical and noble.
Inside the villa, the set after set of huanghuali furniture made Shih Wanxin dizzy.
“Ah Yu!”
“Your home is so beautiful!”
Shih Wanxin’s eyes shone with joy.
She just knew that the Xu Family’s villa wouldn’t lose to the Zhao Family’s!
She must strive to marry in here and trample Xia Ruqing underfoot.
So what if she’s the Xu Family’s daughter? She’d still be the young lady of the Xu Family!
Soon, this will be her home!
So majestic.
…
Xu Jingyu couldn’t understand why she was so excited, just felt entirely uncomfortable.
“Oh!”
“My mom likes this kind of furniture, she gathered lots from everywhere!”
“They’re all haphazardly placed here!”
“Don’t mind it!”
Shih Wanxin quickly replied.
“I don’t mind, I don’t mind at all!”
“These pieces look so good, this is genuine classic furniture, maybe now… many of them are limited, right?”
“Can’t buy them no matter how much you spend, can you?”
Xu Jingyu didn’t know how to respond.
In fact, he thought these pieces weren’t beautiful at all!
Too intricate in style, colors too bright.
He preferred simpler, more understated, cozier designs.
In short, this definitely didn’t match his aesthetics.
Thus… he didn’t know how to continue the conversation.
Why is there always a feeling of no meaningful exchange happening?
…
Xu Jingyu steeled himself, helped Shih Wanxin into the guest room.
The family doctor arrived quickly.
After a brief examination, the doctor made an initial diagnosis.
“The ligament is sprained, fortunately, the bone is fine!”
“Just a simple wrap, massage with lotion to reduce swelling and pain and it will be fine!”
Xu Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
“Good!”
“As long as the bone isn’t hurt!”
“But your foot is so swollen now, you probably can’t walk!”
Shih Wanxin immediately seized the opportunity, looking pitiful.
“I probably can’t!”
“My foot feels so painful now!”
“Even my entire leg feels sore!”
“Ah Yu, if it gets late today, I might have to bother you to take me home again!”
Xu Jingyu thought for a moment.
“Since you’re injured, it’s best not to move casually!”
“It’s indeed getting late today, why not just stay here for the night, and I’ll have a driver take you home tomorrow?”
Shih Wanxin’s eyes lit up, tears on the brink.
“Really?”
“Is that… appropriate?”
Though it’s just the guest room, staying in the Xu Family villa even once.
This indicates she holds some position in Xu Jingyu’s heart.
Additionally.
If word spreads, it’s practically a certainty.
They say women chasing men are separated by a veil, how true!
“Thank you so much!”
“I don’t even know what to say!”
“If Lady Xu comes back, remember to let her know on my behalf, Ah Yu!”
Xu Jingyu nodded.
“It’s fine, it doesn’t need mentioning as long as I know!”
“Also, remember to call your family, let them not worry!”
“Got it!”
“Ah Yu, you’re really nice!”
Shih Wanxin praised once again.
Xu Jingyu: “…”
Leaving the guest room, Xu Jingyu’s face didn’t look good at all.
He was a bit puzzled.
No idea why Shih Wanxin was so excited?
It’s merely an overnight stay at a friend’s home, was it necessary to be so happy?
…
That night.
Lady Xu returned to learn about the extra guest staying over.
Her eyes gleamed, teasingly staring at Xu Jingyu.
“Son, well done!”
“You said you didn’t like her a while ago!”
“And now she’s brought home?”
Xu Jingyu’s face turned entirely red.
“Mom, don’t talk nonsense!”
“It’s just a friend staying over!”
“I only see her as a friend, haven’t thought about anything else!”
Lady Xu quickly patted her son’s shoulder.
“If you truly don’t like her, I won’t force you!”
“In this matter, Mom grants you enough freedom!”
“I myself have been ruined this lifetime, but that’s over!”
“Mom hopes you can be with your most beloved, forever happiness!”
Xu Jingyu was very touched.
“Thank you, Mom!”
“I always knew Mom was the best!”
Lady Xu looked at the moon outside, sighed.
“I’ve lived more than half my life, and only grasped these few truths!”
“Now I don’t ask for anything, just hope to quickly find your sister!”
“Our family can reunite soon!”
“Then? You marry soon, your sister gets married early!”
“I want to be a grandmother, I want to be a nanny!”
“Then I’ll enjoy family bliss!”
Clearly the most beautiful wish, yet her words carried a trace of melancholy.
Both mother and son had red eyes.
