After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 19

“I want you to touch me.”

Wen Jiao’s gaze fell upon her own legs.

They looked no different from anyone else’s, yet they were a pair of legs that could never stand up.

Wen Jiao turned her head away, her expression seemingly calm and easygoing, but a chill was gradually spreading in her heart: “Just like this is fine.”

It was impossible for her to touch Xia Shishi, and she couldn’t.

Something that normal people could do, she was unable to do. She was disabled, and she could only try her best to maintain the current situation.

“If you want to stay, you can only keep this distance.” More than this, she couldn’t give.

Xia Shishi’s eyes looked a little hurt. Her hands hung down powerlessly, and her tightly pursed lips were full of unwillingness.

Although her eyes were eagerly tempted to actively reach out and touch Wen Jiao, she was worried that doing so would anger Wen Jiao.

Xia Shishi grumbled pitifully, also turning her head to look out the window, refusing to look at Wen Jiao. The corners of her eyes were a little red. It was just a touch, why was Wen Jiao unwilling to even satisfy her with this?

When they arrived at the shopping mall, Xia Shishi was still pouting and didn’t even want to get out of the car.

She felt that there was nothing good about this street, and nothing good about the gift she wanted… No, she still had to get the gift.

Business was business. This was her first time going shopping with Wen Jiao, and she would get the opportunity to have Wen Jiao personally give her a gift. Xia Shishi was unwilling to miss such a chance.

This made Xia Shishi a little annoyed. Being someone with a naturally straightforward temper, she gripped her handbag with both hands, her eyes getting redder and redder.

Without Xia Shishi’s help to get out of the car, Wen Jiao lowered her eyes and waited for the driver’s assistance.

Xia Shishi looked over.

From beginning to end, Wen Jiao didn’t say a word, neither refusing the driver nor asking Xia Shishi for help, which made Xia Shishi so angry she almost cried.

Was she, in fact, just a dispensable pet to Wen Jiao?

Was she pampered just because it was fun to keep her, but she wasn’t really needed?

Wen Jiao had already been helped out of the car by the driver, with a thin shawl draped over her legs. She turned back to see Xia Shishi still sitting in the car, her eyes red like a rabbit’s. She raised her hand and tapped the car door: “Get out.”

Xia Shishi really wanted to haughtily say, No!

But this was Wen Jiao, not anyone else.

Xia Shishi admitted defeat and walked out of the car, muttering to Wen Jiao: “I must owe you from my past life.”

Wen Jiao only thought Xia Shishi was joking and didn’t take it too seriously.

However, Wen Jiao also didn’t like seeing Xia Shishi unhappy: “Didn’t you want to buy things?”

“Yes, buy.” Xia Shishi ground her teeth. Seeing the driver still planning to push the wheelchair, Xia Shishi glared at him, then tossed her head and pushed Wen Jiao towards the elevator.

Wen Jiao rarely came to shopping malls. The number of times she had been to a mall since childhood could be counted on one hand.

Whatever she needed was arranged by the butler.

Even when she came to the mall in person, she would arrange for the entire floor to be reserved in advance to avoid accidents.

Therefore, going up in the elevator to shop with only a few followers this time was a novel experience for Wen Jiao. However, she couldn’t muster any interest because there was nothing she wanted.

Wen Jiao leaned against the back of the chair and closed her eyes. This outing was purely to accompany Xia Shishi.

The scenery along the way wasn’t very appealing to Wen Jiao; it was better to look at the little girl.

Wen Jiao opened her eyes and saw, through the reflection in the elevator, that Xia Shishi also seemed unenthusiastic.

She was completely different from the excited way she was at home.

Wen Jiao waited patiently for the elevator doors to open.

Xia Shishi couldn’t bear the silence, which was quickly overlapping with the scene from her previous life when she could only watch Wen Jiao after she died.

Such torment prevented Xia Shishi from remaining silent for too long. She desperately wanted Wen Jiao to hear her voice, so after thinking for a moment, she softly spoke: “Did you really bring your card?”

Wen Jiao: “Mm, you can buy as much as you want.”

Xia Shishi: “Even if it’s written in my name?”

Wen Jiao paused: “Yes.”

Except for not being able to touch Xia Shishi, she could satisfy everything else.

If this could make Xia Shishi happier, then she didn’t care. All her assets could belong to Xia Shishi.

Xia Shishi sighed: “Can’t you just feel a little bad about it?”

She had originally planned to splurge ten million just to make Wen Jiao work for free every day. But seeing Wen Jiao’s reaction, ten million was as trivial as plain water, which made Xia Shishi even less interested.

She wasn’t really short of money; she just wanted Wen Jiao to show her more emotion.

It turned out that Wen Jiao’s feelings were worth much more than her money.

The elevator doors opened, and Xia Shishi pushed Wen Jiao into a certain high-end luxury store.

Xia Shishi was a regular customer at these stores. As soon as she entered, the sales assistants spotted the wealthy lady, ignoring the other customers to focus on serving Xia Shishi.

Xia Shishi acted very naturally; this was the treatment of a wealthy lady.

Not to mention that Xia Shishi was also pushing another wealthy lady.

With the aura of two wealthy ladies combined, it was better than reserving the store. Several sales assistants wanted to crowd around to earn some commission, which drew dissatisfaction from other customers in the store.

“Hey, we’re taking this bag!”

A customer angrily called a server over.

One of the sales assistants saw that the bag in his hand was worth tens of thousands of dollars, so she reluctantly went over to serve him. Xia Shishi glanced over and then turned her gaze away, but suddenly thought of something, and looked back again.

Wen Jiao calmly asked: “Do you want it?”

Xia Shishi: “No, that bag is too ugly.”

Wen Jiao furrowed her brow. Then what was Xia Shishi looking at? She followed Xia Shishi’s gaze, but didn’t recognize the man.

But soon, Wen Jiao saw someone she did recognize.

A woman walked out from the side, looking very unhappy. The man who had been acting powerful in front of the sales assistant immediately ran up to the woman: “CEO Shi, the cooperation we discussed earlier.”

Shi Cun waved her hand impatiently, telling the man to go away.

The next second, Shi Cun saw the cold and detached Wen Jiao again.

She approached: “Chairwoman Wen, the cooperation we discussed last time…”

“…” This was why Xia Shishi had looked over.

She still remembered this Shi Cun. In her previous life, Shi Cun’s company ran into difficulties and desperately needed investment.

Shi Cun first sought cooperation with Wen Jiao, but the discussion fell through, so she went to Fu Yunhan and successfully secured tens of millions of dollars in investment there, resolving her urgent need.

From then on, Shi Cun became Fu Yunhan’s lapdog.

Because she used to be Wen Jiao’s partner, she knew some things about Wen Jiao’s company and helped Fu Yunhan a lot.

Simply put, she was a traitor.

Xia Shishi ignored the small conflict they had earlier and stood in front of Wen Jiao: “My wife and I are shopping right now; we’re not discussing business.”

She could remind Wen Jiao privately after chasing this person away.

Shi Cun looked at Xia Shishi in confusion: “You are?”

Xia Shishi exploded: “Didn’t you hear me call her my wife just now! I’m her wife, wife!”

Someone actually didn’t know about her marriage with Wen Jiao; it seemed she hadn’t tried hard enough.

Xia Shishi reached out and grabbed Wen Jiao’s hand. Wen Jiao struggled slightly, then stopped moving.
