Xie Mu who was trying his best to put on his clothes, shook his head, “Let’s just wait for Cheung Chuan to come back.”
Xie Shi lips dropped down slightly.
If he knew earlier, he would’ve just said Chen Chuan won’t be back early.
Even if he could accept his massage and take off his clothes, why is it that he’s not willing to help him shower.
If it’s about being close, shouldn’t you be close to your own nephew?
No matter how many thoughts he had in his head, Xie Shi’s smile was always present on his face.
He maintained this caring front, hugging the men onto the bed and watched him laid down on the bed obediently.
“You go back first and rest.”
Xie Shi agreed and left the room to knock on Dr.Josel’s door.
On the second day, Xie Mu received numerous medication aside for his legs.
He endured the shame while being against the wall, watching the young man using his hands to apply the medication again and again on himself.
“Xie Shi…”
The man couldn’t endure anymore and asked, “Still not done?”
“Almost, I have to rub the medication until it’s absorbed.”
Xie Shi smiled and looked up to him in the eye, his hands were still slippery from the lotion and his eyes showed a bit more joy.
His hands slowly crept up inwardly, when it finally was about to touch that place. Xie Mu blocked him from proceeding further.
“That’s enough, didn’t Dr.Josel say it’s enough to spread it evenly?”
Xie Mu tried his best to reach out to block Xie Shi.
The young man stared at him, unmoved. His eyes were slightly questioning, “Uncle, we’re both men. Using a bit more medication is nothing to be scared of.”
Xie Mu unconsciously avoided his stare. Looking away and said powerlessly, “I want to rest, take the medicine and go down.”
Xie Shi stood up, staring down from a higher view he could see the man’s redded ears. He lightly tightened the cap on the bottle and left it beside the desk.
“Then I’ll continue to help Uncle apply for the medicine tomorrow.”
“That’s right.”
The young man that walked a few steps seemed to remember something and look back, “Chen Chuan’s family issues seem to be quite difficult to handle, he won’t be back for another hour and a half.”

“The area around his house has heavy snow blockage. There’s no signal either so he can’t contact uncle but I know someone who lives there. Seeing uncle cares about Chen Chuan, I had them specially contacted.”
Hearing the last sentence, the man’s gaze softened but his brows were still tightly knitted, “That child, is it Chen Chuan’s?
“Should be true, Chen Chuan isn’t admitting but the girl wants to drag him to do a test.”
As Xie Shi was talking, between his words he would show signs of confusion, “Usually watching Chen Chuan seems to be an upright person. Now his child is so sickly and needs money, he actually can bear to deny it, really don’t know what he’s actually thinking.”
As expected, after saying this, Xie Mu knitted his eyebrows harder.
Xie Shi investigated Xie Mu.
His birth father also abandoned his mother in the same way. Afterwards, Xie Mu had a serious illness and needed money for medical fees. Xie Mu’s mother brought him to see that man but was kicked out. It was unavoidable, she could only marry Xie Mu’s stepfather to have the money to pay for her son’s illness.
To Xie Mu, he could forgive everything but couldn’t forgive those who didn’t save their own child.
“At first, he and that girl. Was it voluntary?” The man asked a question,
“Should be, he’s a grown man, no one could force him into anything that he’s not willing to do.”
The man lowered his eyes, “That girl, does she want to marry Chen Chuan?”
“Don’t think so, she only wants to leave the child with Chen Chuan.”
Xie Mu wanted to sit up, Xie Shi quickly supported him upright, watching the man with a pale face, “I’ll write a letter, help me deliver it to Chen Chuan.”
Xie Shi wanted to sneak a look into the contents of the letter.
But Xie Mu was with Chen Chuan for 5 years, two people may have some sort of code he didn’t know. Although his heart was itching, Xie Shi decided to hold back and not look.
That letter was ordered to be sent by him at the slowest speed, by the time it reaches Chen Chuan, the earliest should be by 7 days.
Anyways the heavy snow blocked the road, he had an excuse ready.
By the time it was noon, Xie Mu drank the medicine and walked over the hallway to read.
The butler led a young girl with a pretty face over, facing Xie Mu respectfully and said, “Sir, Ms.Zheng came to visit the young master.”
The man lifted his head, his eyes were calm and looked over her unremarkably as if he wasn’t looking at his ex-fiancee and she was just any guest.
“Xie Shi went to the west side to get his books, you can bring Ms.Zheng to the living room and wait there.”
The butler followed his words, turned back and said, “Ms Zheng, let’s go.”
However, Zheng Ying hesitated to look towards Xie Mu. After pausing a few seconds, she walked in front of him and gave him a deep bow.
“Mr.Xie, I’m sorry”
Xie Mu originally already turned his eyes down to continue reading, but hearing the apology he could only lift his eye up from the book and stare at her.
Zheng Ying was biting her lip, stuttering clumsily as she spoke, “I- I know I did something wrong, breaking the promise to marry was my fault…”
She just came in following the butler and saw this man from afar.
He sat on the wheelchair, his legs covered by a blanket. His head was down slightly, showing his elegant appearance but also deathly pale from his illness.
From Zheng Ying’s perspective, she could even see the hands that were resting on his knees. The blue veins were slightly protruding on his slim hands.
No matter what place, those who look good would always obtain more advantages.
Zhen Ying’s heart still felt guilty.
When she was first engaged, she was just 18 years old. She didn’t understand anything, she only saw this man as cool and bright as the moon and agreed to what her parents wanted.
But after knowing Xie Shi and being with him, she realized that being with Xie Mu was only admiration and no love.
She regretted it.
She thought if she was first engaged to Xie Shi, how good will that be. They were obviously of the same age.
To be able to be with Xie Shi and deciding to elope. There were only beautiful future fantasies and excitement. Until Xie Mu cancelled the engagements afterwards, Zhen Ying only came to her senses.
No one would’ve believed Zhen Ying elopement was because she fell in love with someone else. They only thought Zhen Ying abandoned Xie Mu who was already disabled. After all, when they were first engaged, she didn’t disagree with the arrangement.
It was mostly due to Xie Mu telling people it was his problem that he managed to cancel the engagement. But back then rumours were already spread about the elopement.
She truly never had the intentions to abandon Xie Mu, if she was she would’ve done so in the year he got disabled. Even though her heart was slightly regretful and was conflicted about it she never thought of breaking her promise to marriage?
Zhen Ying’s heart hid a big grievance, even though no one heard her side, people at her school could not stop gossiping about her. Friends she used to be close with all distanced themselves away from her. Even Xie Shi would be busy from work regarding succeeding the family business, and could no longer accompany her like he used to.
At first, Zhen Ying told herself to endure, Xie Shi just succeeded the family, being busy was normal. She would wait, he would always come to see her.
Unfortunately, Xie Shi never came.
Zhen Ying just couldn’t endure anymore and came to the Xie family. But seeing that person on the wheelchair with the handsome man looking sickly pale. The guilt in her heart rose again.
She thought she needs to apologize. At least Xie Mu needed to know that she never intended to abandon him.
“Mr Xie, I’m not like what the rumours say. I just really liked Xie Shi, it has nothing to do with your legs, if it wasn’t for Xie Shi, I would’ve….”
“Zhen Ying!”
The young man’s voice came from behind, his voice had a hint of strictness to it. The girl flinched and unconsciously stopped talking.
Xie Shi bent down and the book in his hand …gently placed into Xie Mu’s hands, he gently said “Uncle, the book you wanted.”
Xie Mu nodded his hand, took the book and stopped talking. From what Xie Shi could see, his face didn’t just paled up further, his whole expression looked like he was in poor health.
Of course, he didn’t think it was because of the wind. Xie Shi shifted his eyes and it landed on Zhen Ying and slowly stood back up.
“What nonsense are you talking to my uncle!”
What’s with if it wasn’t for me, she would’ve…
This woman had a cheap way of wasting time.
“I- I just wanted to apologize to Mr Xie”
Zhen Ying seeing her lover couldn’t even be happy and was frightened by the expression he was making. She was a bit timid but clenched his hands into fists, “Xie Shi, you haven’t come seen him in a long time, I missed you….”
Before, Xie Shi really liked hearing her say this because it meant that this woman was stupid enough to be fooled easily.
But today, in front of Xie Mu’s presence, Xie Shi’s heart felt oddly uncomfortable.
His fiancee eloped with someone else, even though the engagement was cancelled. But telling in front of him how she missed that man, if you’re a normal person, you would feel unpleasant hearing these words.
“You young people keep chatting, I’m going to lay down inside the house. Butler, push me back into the house.”
The butler quickly answered, “Yes!”
Seeing Xie Mu was about to leave, Xie Shi felt anxious and quickly caught up to him, “Uncle, I’ll send you back.”
Zhen Ying suddenly felt anxious, “Xie Shi!”
Xie Mu showed a pale white smile, gently patting Xie Shi’s hand with his own, “Quickly go spend time with your girlfriend, she took a special trip to come see you.”
Xie Shi blanked out as he watched the man’s hand leaving his own, being pushed by the butler by afar.
Deep down his heart, he couldn’t feel comfortable with it.
DId uncle get mad with him because of Zhen Ying?
Xie Mu sat in the wheelchair, opened up the book that Xie Shi gave him earlier.
Touching the words inside the book, his lips curved into a smile.
[Ding! Xie Shi favorability: 73]
I’m not super sure about my update schedule yet but I’m thinking of doing Friday updates, for now, if I can I’ll update twice in a week if I can translate in time but I’ll be definitely updating every Friday (✧ω✧)
Thank you for the chapter~ looking forward for the next
So happy to see that we will get constant update QAQ thanks!!!!
But wait? Why have he smiled? Shouldn’t he be jealous of his uncles’ feelings about his ex?
Xie Mu smiled, not Xie Shi. He doesn’t give a rat’s butt about the fiancée except that she helps him achieve favorability points.
Makes lot more sense now, Thanks!
PFF RATS BUTT
aaaaaaah XS that schemer!!
Thanks for the update!! ^ ^)♡
BLESS YOU!!! I’ve been waiting forever for this! Thankyou so much!! XOXOXO😍😇😚
Thank you for picking up this project!!
Looking forward to next chapter!!
Honestly I’m not annoyed at the girl. She just seems kinda stupid and I honestly feel bad that even her friends left her, which caught my eye, because most friends would stay by your side unless you did something really, really bad to put you in jail or something
Same, like I’m a bit mad at her for straight up going out with Xie Shi without breaking it off with Xie Mu, but she seems sincere as she apologizes (also our Xie Mu doesn’t care which makes it easier) and it does seem like she doesn’t have good friends. It sucks that Xie Shi’s over her tho
Thanks for your hard work!
The chapter title makes sense now! 😆 I’ve missed Xie Mu’s scheming…
