"Would you sit back quietly and watch me going through the trouble? Qing Shan, you are my husband. I don"t know if I love you or not, but I am sure about the fact that you are an important part of my life." saying Zhi Ruo closed her eyes to calm her brain down and think about everything that was bugging her.Qing Shan knew what he was asking was a meaningless question. Still, he wanted to know the reason behind her disregarding everything to protect him even at the cost of her own life. Qing Shan was deep in his thoughts when Zhi Ruo spoke up again, "Also, I don"t want to be a young widow."
Patting her head Qing Shan held her hand and kissed the back of her hand softly before saying, "Got it wife."
The room went back to its silence again. Qing Shan and Zhi Ruo both were quiet on the surface, while both of their hearts were in deep tumultuous. One was busy thinking about the perpetrator of the incident whereas the other was wondering about the person who was here before they came.
The situation outside the house in the garden was not much different. The old man s.h.i.+ spend a good amount of time organizing his thoughts before making a call.
As soon as the call was picked up he spoke without waiting for any greetings and all, "You are right. She is alive."
The old lady who was already sure of the fact did not show any reaction after hearing the statement. Instead, she was more interested in the reason that made Old man s.h.i.+ accept the fact which she had spent hours explaining, "Why do you say that?"
Old man s.h.i.+ was deeply breathing, his face was pale while his eyes teared up. It was as taking each breath was painful for him. If given a chance he would be ready to even give up his life.
When the old man s.h.i.+ did not answer for a long time, the old lady again spoke up thinking of the reason, "Did you test her powers?"
This time the old man instantly replied, "No."
Controlling his emotions he spoke, "She is here with her husband."
"Why?" the old lady on the other side was surprised hearing that Zhi Ruo was at s.h.i.+ Xiaoli"s house along with Qing Shan. She was well aware of the fact that Zhi Ruo would not easily visit the old man"s house. What surprised her more was the fact that Zhi Ruo even took Qing Shan along with her.
"She was in an accident."
"What? Accident?" shouted the old lady. Her voice had started shaking while her words became inconsistent. She wanted to ask if everything was fine if she was badly injured or not. She had a lot of questions to ask but no voice was coming out of her mouth.
Old man s.h.i.+ was well aware of the old lady"s condition and her shadows a.s.sociated with them. Without wasting any more time he informed about Zhi Ruo"s condition, "She is fine. I have already treated her."
Hearing that she was fine relaxed the old lady a lot. Drinking some water she calmed herself down before asking, "But how is her injury related to her being alive?"
