Oh no! His rural wife is sweeter than a peach!

Meanwhile, Old Master Luo and Luo Ning, who had been invited to the Ying family as guests, also took their leave and went home.

The earlier incident in the garden caused a minor unpleasantness due to the deer vine, but at his grandfather's urging, Ying Yuchuan went back to the dining room and had dinner with the Luo family.

After all, Grandpa Luo was an old acquaintance of Grandpa and Grandma, and he had watched him grow up. He couldn't be so rude and ignore the old man's existence.

Fortunately, the meal was not affected by that little incident.

Grandpa Luo and Luo Ning didn't ask or talk much, and they didn't know what his grandfather had said to him.

After the meal, they chatted for a while before Grandpa Luo and his grandson left.

"Yuchuan".

Ying Huayu and Sheng Shuang stopped Ying Yuchuan, who was trying to walk into his own courtyard.

Sheng Shuang smiled and said, "Can we talk?"

Ying Yuchuan glanced at them, then checked the time on his watch, made a mental estimate, and calmly nodded. "Okay, what would you like to talk about?"

In the eyes of Ying Huayu and his wife, their eldest son has never required much of their worry since he was a child. He has his own life plan and he arranges everything clearly, including what to do at what time.

After completing his doctorate abroad, he returned to work for the family company. Over the years, his elders have gradually let go and handed over all the company's affairs to him. Soon, he will be able to take full control of the entire Ying family company.

His work ability is outstanding, that's beyond doubt, but when it comes to relationships... he's a complete novice.

It's not that he's unpopular; on the contrary, many wealthy young ladies admire him, and many elders want to play matchmaker, but he remains unmoved. Over the years, he hasn't even had a girlfriend.

These parents saw it all and were anxious, but they also told themselves not to rush it, that it was just not the right time yet.

They never expected that Lu Luozhi would suddenly appear. As parents, they also wanted to know whether he resented them for the marriage agreement made twenty years ago.

Sheng Shuang looked at him earnestly, "Son, do you resent us? Resent us for bringing you into a marriage you don't like, for marrying a woman you don't like."

These words flowed into Ying Yuchuan's ears like a gentle stream.

His calm expression shifted slightly, like clouds swirling within, but it quickly vanished.

There was a moment of silence.

Under the watchful eyes of his parents, he slowly began to speak: "I..."

---

Inside the room, Lu Luozhi, who had been lying down, struggled to get out of bed.

She gritted her teeth and struggled to move her aching leg. With great difficulty, her right foot touched the ground, but she dared not exert any force. She could only move step by step towards the bathroom like a tortoise.

She is in pain all over her body right now.

The impact of that fall was so great that now that I've recovered, every part of my body is aching.

The pain felt like it was seeping out from between her bones, making every step she took extremely difficult.

She had to get out of bed and go to the bathroom.

She was about to explode with frustration.

Although Ying Yuchuan was called away, he hadn't forgotten her, who was half-crippled, and he asked Lao Ye to bring her dinner.

Just now, the blond-haired boy sneaked over again. She wasn't there, and he didn't go to the dining room to eat. Since she didn't have an appetite anyway, she gave him all the food. She only drank a bowl of soup.

And then, nature calls.

On the verge of collapse, Lu Luozhi glanced tremblingly in the direction of the bathroom.

There are still six or seven meters to go.

Gritting her teeth and enduring the pain, she continued to move forward, her body slightly hunched.

She vowed that once she got better...

"Why did you get out of bed?"

The sudden sound made her look up immediately.

Ying Yuchuan returned. He stood at the doorway, his thick, dark eyebrows furrowed, seemingly displeased that she had secretly gotten out of bed.

"I... I have something to take care of..."

She stammered, not daring to tell him the real reason.

His face was already flushed red, and he moved forward with great difficulty.

What's so important that you absolutely have to get out of bed?

He stepped toward her.

The deer vine was barely alive, on the verge of collapse from the effort.

"Could you... could you please not ask why..."

Move aside, move aside, don't block her way...

"explain."

He gave her a harsh command.

Lu Luozhi shuddered.

Gritting her teeth, she decided to go all out.

Since things are like this anyway, saving face doesn't matter.

"I need to use the toilet, I need to pee, so could you please not block my way? I'm about to pee!"

She yelled at him.

He finished speaking.

The room fell into a silent silence.

Lu Luozhi glared at the unromantic man with annoyance.

Isn't that enough to satisfy his young master?

"Please move aside."

Ying Yuchuan then moved his body.

He made way for her, but not to let her pass; instead, he picked her up and carried her in his arms.

"Feed?"

She cried out in surprise.

Ying Yuchuan didn't say anything. He carried her and strode into the bathroom, which seemed somewhat out of reach to her at that moment.

Then he put her on the toilet.

Even with her thick skin, Lu Luozhi's cheeks flushed slightly at his unusually intimate gesture, revealing her girlish embarrassment.

With her eyes lowered, she was too ashamed to meet his gaze.

After putting her down on the toilet, Ying Yuchuan was about to turn around and leave when he saw her sitting there motionless.

His two dark eyes fell on the wound on her hand. After thinking for a moment, he asked her earnestly:

"Should I help you take your pants off?"
