ShuShu saw him wolfing down his food and felt his heart ache for no reason. The dignified CEO of the Lingbai Corporation was actually hungry to this extent. No one would believe it if they told others about it.
Ling Qiao picked up a chicken leg and put it into her bowl, "Hot and crispy, quickly eat. Don't you like fried chicken legs?"
A wave of warmth filled Shu Shu's heart. In this world, besides her mother, who else would buy her delicious food?
The two of them ate like hungry ghosts reincarnated. They looked at each other, smiled, and ate more sweetly.
Inside the room, Ling Qiao had just finished his shower and was wrapped in a bath towel. His slim figure made his blush and his heart beat faster.
She took out a strip of autumn quilt from the cabinet. "The weather's cold. I'll take a thicker quilt out. Don't you catch cold. Hurry up and go to bed." Her eyes flickered, but she didn't dare look at him.
Ling Qiao walked past her, the corners of his mouth tilted upwards as he picked up the Qiu in her hands. "Hurry and wash up as well, go to bed early."
"Oh." As if sensing that the night had not been peaceful, Shu Shu blushed like an apple, her head lowered as she went to the bathroom.
On the toothbrush, he had already squeezed out the toothpaste for her. In the bathtub, he had already filled out the hot water for her. Actually, Ling Qiao still doted on her a lot, except that he was unwilling to compromise on the fact that he had a child.
It wasn't that she didn't want to give him children, but that she couldn't bear the role of the eldest daughter of the Liu family. Before he could truly accept her identity, she absolutely couldn't have children, and she didn't want to be an irresponsible mother.
However, she didn't dare to say that in this regard, the environment since childhood had determined her self-abasement. Because he was self-abasement, he had to be strong. Because he was self-abasement, he had to be stubborn. At first she disdained to say that she hoped to keep it a secret until her mother recovered from his illness, so long as her mother was fine, even if Ling Qiao found out that she was going to get a divorce, she would not mind it; but now, as she fell in love with him day after day, he could not help but panic at the thought that he would mind her, accompanied by heartache. She had no confidence in himself, and he had no confidence in love.
While thinking about this, he sat in the bathtub, slightly soaking in it and sweating. This was good for his body. Ling Qiao did not soak in baths often, but often helped her fill a bathtub full of warm water. He said that it was not appropriate for men to soak in baths, but for women, they had to soak more.
He might as well take a gamble. If he told him the truth, he might not mind at all. If he liked someone, he shouldn't mind their birth.
If he doesn't mind, then from now on she is his wife, he is her husband, her heaven, everything to her. If he cares, then let this unforgettable relationship end.
As he thought about it, Ling Qiao, who was standing outside, suddenly forgot about the time. She couldn't wait to knock on the door and said, "Wife, you've been soaking in there for 40 minutes. You'll be fine after soaking in there for a while."
"Oh, I'll be right out …" Shu Shu stood up and grabbed the towel. At this moment, she lost her balance and slipped. "Ah …!" With a shout, she gracefully fell to the ground.
Ling Qiao frowned upon hearing this. He slammed the door even harder and shouted, "Shu Shu, Shu Shu, what's wrong?"
"I, I, I'm fine, don't come in." Aiyo, I was really afraid that he would barge in. She was currently completely naked, and the towel in her hand was thrown disobediently into the bathtub.
Hearing Shu Shu's voice change, Ling Qiao became even more anxious. He twisted the doorknob to open the door, "What happened? What's the matter with you? "
"I … I'm really fine!" You, you, please don't come in! Give me some time, I just can't move.
"Open the door if you're fine. Come out!"
Aiyo, big brother, can you stop trying to open the door? If I could get up, I would have opened the door earlier. Wait a minute, wait a minute. She tugged at the towel, trying to cover herself.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Good heavens, Ling Qiao had kicked the door open.
"Ah, don't come in, don't come in."
However, the more Shu Shu said this, the more Ling Qiao was worried. "Wife, are you alright? I'll come in immediately, don't be afraid."
Sigh, do you not understand my words? I told you not to come in. ShuShu wanted to cry, but no tears came out. All she wanted now was to pull down the towel and cover herself.
However, after the towel fell into the bathtub, it exerted an extremely strong suction power. The originally soft and light bath towel could not be pulled back up no matter how much he pulled it. Worst of all, she had really fallen to the pelvic bone. She didn't know if she had suffered a fracture. It was so painful, she couldn't move at all.
Finally, the door was kicked open. Ling Qiao saw his wife naked on the ground. Black, cough, even a gentleman would not be able to resist such temptation, let alone a husband who hadn't eaten for a long time. He gasped.
Shu Shu was in an extremely sorry state. Seeing Ling Qiao's fiery gaze on his, she felt even more ashamed. "Ling Qiao, why are you still looking? I can't move." Bastard, since you've entered, hurry up and save me! If you know to look, be careful that I don't gouge out your eyes!
Only then did Ling Qiao walk forward, picking her up and gently placing his on the bed. Shu Shu immediately grabbed a blanket to cover herself. Seeing the perverted look in this pervert's eyes, she could only call him a pervert.
"Do you want to go to the hospital? Or would you like Dr. Lin to come home? "
Shu Shu frowned, gently moving his butt a bit. "I think it can move, it's not fractured, but it seems my toes are hurting a little."
How could it not hurt? With this fall, his toes directly kicked into the bathtub, causing blood to flow out from under his thumbnail.
"Your feet are bleeding!" Ling Qiao hurriedly pulled out a few tissues to press against the wound.
"Ah, pain, pain, pain!" Shushu cried out. The pain was a pain in her leg, so much so that she didn't know where else it hurt. Now that her butt was better, she could feel the pain on her toes.
"Endure it, I'll go get the medicine box."
Ling Qiao brought over the medicine box, the wound was inside and he had kicked his nails. He sprinkled some pain powder and wrapped it with gauze. His technique was not rough and his strength was also good. It seemed that he knew how to take care of people.
"Your nails are injured, but before they grow any better, your feet will hurt. I think you should ask for a leave of absence tomorrow. You won't be able to walk."
"You don't want me to go to work, do you?!" Shu Shu moved to rub herself against the quilt. "Aiyo, it hurts!" Indeed, it was as he had said. One shouldn't even touch it, one definitely couldn't walk on it.
Ling Qiao tidied up the medicine chest and seriously said, "It was you who fell down, it was you who kicked the wound. Otherwise, you can just go to work as usual tomorrow. It was you who was in pain." My heart will ache with it, girl.
Shu Shu bit her lips in silence, her pelvis didn't seem to be injured, and she no longer felt pain. It was just her toes, it was fine if she didn't touch it, it would be painful if she didn't.
"Then help me ask for a leave of absence." That was the only way.
Ling Qiao sat on the edge of the bed as he gave a knowing smile. "Mmm, that's more like it."
It was originally an ordinary sentence, but at this moment, it seemed a little erotic. It had to be known that a man wearing a towel and a woman covered only by a blanket were extremely dangerous pieces of dry wood that could burn one's body if they were careless.
Shu Shu changed the topic. "You, you seem to know a lot about nursing. You didn't feel awkward bandaging me at all. Did you learn from Doctor Lin?"
Ling Qiao's eyes suddenly flashed. His heart was touched as he said, "I've helped with the nursing of people before, so I know some basic things. It's just a bandage, do you still need to learn from Doctor Lin?"
"Oh, who did you help with the nursing?" She was quick to ask.
Ling Qiao was stunned for a moment as the scenes from the past surfaced in his mind. He smiled, "A friend."
Is it Tang and Qing? Shu Shu could not help but think that the person that Ling Qiao would carefully bandage would definitely be someone close to him. However, Shu Shu knew in her heart that she could not press him any further.
Ling Qiao fell asleep on the bed, and Shu Shu tactfully moved closer to the bed. Tonight, what would happen? If she was injured, would he take her? Well, to tell the truth, she was a little scared.
"Hubby."
"Yes."
"Isn't it too hot to cover the autumn?"
"No, just right."
"What time is it?"
"Ten thirty."
The two of them laid flat on the bed with their eyes closed and their arms touching. Shu Shu didn't know what to say; she just kept chatting without saying a word.
"If I'm at home tomorrow, help me get a few bags of instant noodles before you go out. I like to eat dry food."
"There's no nutrition for the instant noodles, and even more so for the dry food. I'll take care of you at home tomorrow."
"Then how can I be embarrassed? You can go to work. My life is cheap, I'm not worthy of you wasting a day to take care of me."
"What do you mean 'life is too cheap'? You want to marry me and yet you have such a cheap life?!" Are you humiliating yourself or me? "
"I, I didn't mean that."
Shu Shu did not continue speaking. For a moment, the room became so quiet that one could hear the wind blowing outside the window. The autumn wind blew, and a wave of cold gradually arrived.
With a "pa" sound, Ling Qiao turned off the lights. Immediately, all that was in front of his was darkness.
ShuShu was extremely uneasy. Usually he wore clothes when he slept, so he wanted to touch them here and there. Now they were both lying naked, not knowing what would happen to him.
She was not used to the silence. "Hello."
He had only said one word when Ling Qiao suddenly flipped over and pressed down on him. He wordlessly lowered her head to cover her lips, making it so that she was unable to speak. That damnable girl, I've already endured it so much and I'm still talking nonstop. Do you think I'll let you off just because your foot is injured? Don't worry, I won't kick your foot, as long as you don't kick me.
He held her head in both hands, allowing her small hands to tap on his chest. To make sure he didn't kick her foot, he didn't press his body down.
The feeling this time was different from the past. Normally, he wouldn't be this domineering. At most, he would only kiss her lips, but this time, he attacked her like an intruder. She could not retreat, and a surge of flames rose up from her.
She lightly kicked him with her right foot. She didn't know what she was doing. Perhaps, there was a trace of expectation in her fear.
Suddenly, his hands moved slowly down her neck. When they touched her, she felt as if she had been electrocuted and didn't want to push him away anymore. She put her hands on the pillow and tried to push his sturdy arms away.
As his eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, Ling Qiao saw that she started to have an intoxicating expression. He moved her lips away and bit down on her shoulder, one bite at a time.
"Ling Qiao, I'm injured. My feet still hurt." Shu Shu reminded his with his last bit of rationality.
Ling Qiao gently said, "Baby, I won't hurt your foot. Trust me." His voice was full of passion and impatience. He was a man. Because of some injury, he had to abstain from lust for three months. For the past few days, his wife could only touch and not eat, making him anxious.
The most frightening thing was yesterday. He could have done it, but had to hold back because of the cold war, leaving him with no temper at all.
