The issue was somewhat troublesome. The injury hadn’t occurred too long ago, requiring regular treatment.
The recovery progress would depend on the results of each examination.
Lu Chiwan specifically noted the date on the examination report – it was issued the afternoon of her car accident. She couldn’t help but freeze.
Such a coincidence?
Could it be that he got injured while saving her?
Lu Chiwan bit her lip and carefully examined the hospital seal on the report, confirming it was from a well-known hospital. It probably wasn’t fake.
So Li Yanxing hadn’t lied to her. It wasn’t that he didn’t like her or was avoiding her – he genuinely couldn’t.
Lu Chiwan folded the examination report, took a deep breath, and walked out.
Both men in the bedroom were watching her.
Lu Chiwan’s cheeks warmed, but she pretended to be calm as she walked over, placing the examination report in her cheap little bag that cost only a few dozen yuan. Then she put both the bag and the set of clothes she had taken out back where they belonged.
Lin Mu glanced over, extremely curious.
What was this? Was she planning to run away from home?
No wonder Yan Ge had urgently asked him to deliver the examination report – he was afraid the young lady would flee.
“Qingqing.”
“Huh?”
“Help me get a white shirt.”
“Oh, okay.”
Lu Chiwan turned and went to the walk-in closet.
The bedroom connected directly to the walk-in closet. Previously, it had been purely industrial style, with even the clothes hangers made of iron chains, making it look like a prison cell for confinement.
Now everything had been changed by Lu Chiwan. Lin Mu curiously peeked inside and was immediately amazed.
The walk-in closet was designed to be spacious and bright, with orderly arrangements.
Li Yanxing’s clothes had all been organized by Lu Chiwan, carefully sorted by category.
He actually didn’t have many clothes, but what he had was exquisite – no brand names, all custom-designed by private designers.
Lu Chiwan had more clothes than him, all from unknown miscellaneous brands. They were cheap and of ordinary quality, but the styles were quite pleasing to the eye and suited her well.
Lin Mu looked at the walk-in closet, then at the room’s decorations, and couldn’t help but click his tongue. “Yan Ge, are you two on your honeymoon?”
He hadn’t noticed earlier when he arrived in a hurry, but now seeing the “Happy Wedding” characters above the headboard, the corner of his mouth twitched.
Since when did Yan Ge like such tacky celebration methods?
“Any opinions?”
Li Yanxing’s expression remained cold. “Go ahead and share them.”
Lin Mu shook his head like a rattle drum. “Absolutely no opinions.”
When Lu Chiwan brought the shirt over, Lin Mu exaggeratedly complimented, “Sister-in-law, the decorations look great, no wonder Yan Ge is in such a good mood. I wish you a hundred years of happiness and early arrival of precious children.”
Lu Chiwan nodded. “Then I wish you freedom from singlehood soon.”
Lin Mu: “…”
Why did you have to touch that sore spot?
Lu Chiwan handed the shirt to Li Yanxing.
Li Yanxing raised his hand slightly, curling the corner of his lips. “I’m injured, can’t put it on myself.”
Lu Chiwan saw through his meaning, took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed, kneeling in front of him to help him put on the clothes while muttering, “Then be careful and don’t move around recklessly. I won’t bother you tonight.”
“Mm, moving a little bit might not be completely impossible.”
“Such as…”
“Yan Ge, I’m leaving first.”
Lin Mu couldn’t take it anymore.
Why were they torturing him, a single dog, so late at night?
Li Yanxing didn’t look at him, instead asking Lu Chiwan, “What were you saying earlier about preparing a candlelight dinner?”
Lu Chiwan’s cheeks reddened. “Yes, that’s right.”
“Aunt Jiang should have the meal ready by now. Can you go downstairs?”
“Or should I bring the food up here?”
“Sure, it’s not a big problem.”
“Your brother just got back from a business trip too, let him stay and eat together.”
Only then did Lu Chiwan remember there was another third wheel present. She pursed her lips and glanced at the third wheel, somewhat reluctant. “Well, alright then. I’ll ask Aunt Jiang to add another set of chopsticks.”
“No need, I’ll go back to eat.”
Lin Mu noticed Lu Chiwan’s reluctance.
It was a candlelight dinner, an intimate world for two. A glaring third wheel like him really shouldn’t intrude.
“Think you’re doing me a favor?”
Li Yanxing shot him an impatient, chilly sidelong glance.
Lin Mu: “…”
See? Sichuan opera face-changing.
In front of pretty girls, he acts all weak and helpless, can’t even dress himself. But with me, it’s “think you’re doing me a favor?”
Back when Yan Ge was injured nearly to death, I never saw him walking around naked.
Not only that, Lin Mu subsequently witnessed even more outrageous scenes.
When they returned, you couldn’t even tell he was injured.
But after having his wounds treated, he became even more fragile.
Going downstairs required his wife’s support.
Lu Chiwan was especially heartbroken for him. After coming downstairs, she quickly pulled out a chair, helped Li Yanxing sit down, and instructed, “Take it slow, don’t move too vigorously and tear your wounds open.”
On the table, Aunt Jiang and A Xia had laid out a lavish spread of Western food. They’d also lit two beautiful candles shaped like hearts, along with other decorative props arranged to form the word “love.”
Even the tablecloth pattern carried a festive air.
This entire candlelight dinner set was something Lu Chiwan had bought from Taobao.
She had originally intended to set it up herself, but a minor disagreement with Li Yanxing delayed her, so she had Aunt Jiang and A Xia arrange it instead.
“Does it look nice?”
Lu Chiwan smiled, personally opening a bottle of red wine.
“Yes, very nice.”
Li Yanxing nodded. “I like it very much.Although he wasn’t particularly fond of this kind of vulgar romantic display, he couldn’t say he disliked it either.
For something to not annoy him already counted as liking it.
After all, there were very few things that didn’t annoy him.
Lu Chiwan poured red wine for both of them, then picked up her knife and fork to start cutting the steak.
Her strength was limited. Though her steak-cutting motions were familiar and natural, they were also quite delicate, cutting the pieces very small.
Worried that Li Yanxing might strain his wounds if he cut the steak himself, she planned to cut it into pieces and place them before him.
But as soon as she cut the first piece, Li Yanxing lowered his head. “Wife?”
“Huh?”
This was the first time in her current memory that he had called her “wife,” his rising tone utterly captivating.
“It’s inconvenient for me to handle the knife and fork. Feed me.”
“Okay.”
Lu Chiwan indulged him, forking a small piece of steak and feeding it into Li Yanxing’s mouth.
“Thank you, wife.”
“You haven’t eaten all day. Have some more.”
“Mm.”
Soon enough, though, Li Yanxing could use his hands too—except he was using them to feed steak to Lu Chiwan.
And so the two began feeding each other, one forkful for you, one forkful for me, occasionally lightly clinking glasses and sipping red wine, the atmosphere reaching its peak.
Meanwhile, Lin Mu sat on the other side, eating his spaghetti expressionlessly, miserable and suffering.
Now he understood why Yan Ge had insisted he stay as the third wheel.
Turns out showing off affection is no fun without an audience. They needed someone to watch and suffer—preferably a single, wifeless guy like him.
The two lovebirds kept up their sweet antics for over an hour before finally releasing him.
It was only when Lin Mu stepped out of Brocade Creek Bay that he belatedly realized something was off.
Wasn’t Yan Ge using the young girl as bait? This didn’t look like bait at all.
Seeing the affectionate way the two were together, he even momentarily forgot that Lu Chiwan was from Chen Yang’s side.
Oh no…
After getting the examination report, Lu Chiwan felt much more at ease.
Plus, since Li Yanxing was injured, she didn’t dare cause too much trouble.
So the two actually enjoyed a period of peaceful days.
Li Yanxing still didn’t spend much time at Brocade Creek Bay. He was frequently away on business trips, though there was also an element of deliberately keeping his distance from Lu Chiwan.
But he could only hold out for three to five days. After finishing work and planning to drive elsewhere, he’d inevitably end up at Brocade Creek Bay.
Before they knew it, another two weeks had passed.
Lu Chiwan had fully recovered physically. Aside from still having no memory, she was completely fine.
Once her health improved, she started contemplating various matters.
For example, should she try finding a job?
Or perhaps help Li Yanxing regulate his health, especially… that aspect.
And what about meeting Yao Meizhu?
Early one morning, Lu Chiwan went out, driven by A Xia.
Although A Xia was a maid, she was quite skilled at driving and was more familiar with Lu Chiwan.
So Li Yanxing had A Xia take on the driver’s role as well.
“Young Mistress, we’ve arrived. Are you sure you don’t need me to accompany you inside?”
A Xia glanced up at the hospital name and couldn’t help asking again.
“No need, no need. I’m just going in to ask a few questions.”
Lu Chiwan waved at A Xia and got out of the car.
The May pagoda trees were fragrant, and the weather had warmed up completely after May Day.
Before, it had been alternating between cold and warm spells.
Lu Chiwan had chosen a thin white dress with a simple design, going for a gentle princess style.
She hadn’t done much with her hair either, leaving it as simple long locks.
When the wind blew, her dress fluttered slightly, making her look like a fairy descending to earth.
Except this fairy was acting rather suspiciously – wearing a mask while looking around left and right before quickly entering the hospital and rushing to the third floor.
Lu Chiwan glanced down at the appointment information on her phone, then looked at the crowd of people who had arrived early to wait, immediately filled with confusion.
Wasn’t this the renowned andrology specialist?
He only held clinic once a week, and appointments were extremely hard to get.
But why were all the patients women?
Could they all be here for their husbands like she was?
Thinking this, Lu Chiwan felt somewhat comforted. It seemed many people’s husbands had problems – hers wasn’t the only one who was… inadequate.
After waiting about half an hour, Lu Chiwan’s number was finally called.
“Lin Mu!”
That’s right, they called Lin Mu.
She was using Lin Mu’s identity, mainly to make it easier to get prescriptions and such. She’d gotten the ID card from Li Yanxing…
She’d only said she wanted to borrow her cousin’s ID to open an account, and Li Yanxing had directly taken it from Lin Mu and tossed it to her without asking further questions.
Lu Chiwan quickly squeezed through the crowd. Only when she pushed the door open did she notice there was another girl inside.
The girl was dressed beautifully, wearing eight-centimeter nude high heels with bright, striking makeup.
She was reaching out trying to grab the male doctor’s arm. “Brother Shen, my friend really has a problem, he just hasn’t arrived yet. Can’t you chat with me first?”
“Get out!”
“Brother Shen.”
“Should I call security if you don’t leave?”
The doctor’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was ice cold.
The girl lingered a while longer, but when she saw the male doctor was truly angry, she had no choice but to turn and leave.
As if blaming Lu Chiwan for ruining her plans, the girl shot her a fierce glare and, while passing by, tried to bump into her out of spite.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chiwan anticipated her move and lightly sidestepped just as the girl lunged forward.
The girl, on the verge of falling, hastily adjusted her posture and reached out to grab the door for support.
Lu Chiwan kindly opened the door for her.
The girl ended up stumbling out, but in her flailing, her hand randomly snatched and pulled off the mask from Lu Chiwan’s face.
Bang!
Lu Chiwan took the opportunity to shut the door.
“Ah!”
A sharp scream came from outside.
Furious, the girl pounded on the door, but after just a few attempts, she was escorted away by security guards who had rushed over.
Wen Yunshen looked up and was momentarily stunned.
The girl before him was exceptionally beautiful—her eyes bright and clear, the corners of her lips slightly upturned with a hint of triumphant amusement.
Even in the simplest white dress, she stood out strikingly, as if she were the pure, untainted heroine from a novel that every boy admired during their school days.
“Professor Wen?”
Lu Chiwan sat across from Wen Yunshen, blinking in confusion as she looked at him.
Wen Yunshen snapped back to reality and nodded apologetically, “Sorry, I was lost in thought for a moment. Lin Mu is your…”
“Oh, he’s my husband.”
Worried that Li Yanxing’s identity as the young master of the Li family might be too sensitive, Lu Chiwan reluctantly used Lin Mu’s information instead.
Wen Yunshen nodded and quickly shifted into professional mode, “What are the specific symptoms?”
“It’s due to an accidental injury, mainly…”
