After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 39
Zhang Shu’s movements were swift; he finished packing in less than an hour.
Upon seeing this, Father Wen was enraged that even a mere housekeeper didn’t show him any respect. He immediately ordered the driver to take him out, and no one knew where he went.
Mother Wen’s reaction was much calmer: “It’s good to stay there for a while. Remember to bring the doctor. You can take whatever you need or ask the assistant to prepare it.”
Although it sounded mostly like a polite formality, at least the courtesy had been extended.
It was only after the couple left that Xia Shishi couldn’t hold back.
“Are we really going to move in with my family?”
Wen Jiao closed her book: “Didn’t you say you wanted to have a meal with your mother?”
Xia Shishi’s mouth dropped open.
Since she was reborn, she had always been running to Wen Jiao, but she actually felt guilty towards Mother Xia.
She had only mentioned it casually to Wen Jiao, but she didn’t expect Wen Jiao to remember it.
No, this was how Wen Jiao was.
Xia Shishi said: “Maybe I wanted to have a meal with your mother too.”
Wen Jiao smiled, wanting to raise her hand to touch the young girl’s face.
But Xia Shishi was standing, and she couldn’t reach her with a raised hand. It wasn’t good to ask Xia Shishi to bend down, so she smiled and retracted her hand.
“The luggage is all ready, so let me pay a visit to your home.”
Wen Jiao didn’t explain much.
She simply prepared everything meticulously and appropriately.
So Xia Shishi smiled very happily, and once again took over the task of pushing Wen Jiao’s wheelchair, leaving Zhang Shu and the maids only to carry the luggage.
Mother Xia was a little incredulous when she received Xia Shishi’s call.
It was only when the car had already driven up to the front of the villa that she finally regained her composure.
Did she really come?
As expected of the son-in-law she and her husband had chosen.
So reliable.
“Didn’t you say you weren’t feeling well? Why did you still come over?” Mother Xia smilingly asked their housekeeper to take the luggage, then anxiously explained, “We don’t have that much medical equipment and medicine at home. If you need anything, I’ll have someone buy it back right now.”
She knew Wen Jiao didn’t like going to the hospital, so the Wen family home had been turned into a small hospital.
But the Xia family members were all quite healthy, and at most, they kept some common medicines.
Mother Xia was worried about slighting Wen Jiao.
Xia Shishi stepped forward and hugged Mother Xia: “Everything has been brought over.”
Mother Xia embraced her daughter, and Xia Shishi rubbed against her.
Mother Xia: “All moved over? That’s good. I’ll have someone show you to the rooms.”
She had anxiously asked someone to tidy up the rooms as soon as she received the call.
It should be enough space to put all those things.
“Is the guest room okay for Jiao Jiao to stay in?”
Since the equipment was going to take up space in the room, they had to arrange separate sleeping quarters.
Xia Shishi: “…”
Wen Jiao: “…Of course, it’s fine.”
It seemed they were already so used to sharing a room that hearing this sentence made them pause for a moment.
Mother Xia didn’t think too much about it, and Zhang Shu wouldn’t expose the matter.
He just led people to set up the instruments.
Zheng He was also taken away by Zhang Shu; he was the doctor, and his supervision was indispensable in this matter.
Zheng He was also speechless, but he treated it as a business trip, and then he went in first with Zhang Shu.
Mother Xia didn’t rest either: “Hurry inside, the wind is strong outside. It wouldn’t be good if you caught a cold.”
Wen Jiao: “Mom, you don’t need to be so anxious. I’m not that fragile.”
Mother Xia: “No, that won’t do. You are a patient! A patient should be well cared for.”
This tone of voice made people realize where Xia Shishi had learned hers from.
Mother Xia always spoke to the younger generation with a doting tone, like talking to a child.
Xia Shishi giggled and said: “Mom is great, Mom is the best.”
Wen Jiao fell into silence.
She felt a little unable to accept this kind of family atmosphere.
After seeing Mother Xia, Xia Shishi didn’t continue pushing Wen Jiao, but talked with Mother Xia. Wen Jiao listened, and they were all about trivial things.
Like what she ate today, what she was going to do this afternoon.
And how long she planned to stay at home.
Wen Jiao was pushed by the Xia family’s maid, sitting very steadily in the wheelchair, and being cared for attentively.
So, this was the Xia family home.
The place where Xia Shishi grew up.
It really had traces of her life everywhere.
Mother Xia tapped Xia Shishi’s nose: “You’re getting married soon; don’t be so mischievous in the future.”
“Mom, I’m not being mischievous.” Xia Shishi knew what Mother Xia was blaming her for.
Wen Jiao’s illness suddenly worsened two days ago.
In this situation, it was more suitable to rest at home rather than being pushed around.
This visit wasn’t Xia Shishi’s willful request, but Mother Xia mistakenly thought so. Xia Shishi pouted and said: “Her parents came back, and they seem to be getting along very badly. It’s better to move over here.”
Mother Xia frowned: “But they are still Wen Jiao’s biological parents.”
They shouldn’t be too bad.
“Not only is the patient’s body important, but their mood is also very important,” Xia Shishi said, stopping just short of giving more details.
She hooked her arm around her mother’s.
With the comparison from the morning, Xia Shishi felt even more that her life was truly blessed.
Excluding the fictional elements, her parents doted on her since she was a child. It wasn’t just verbal spoiling, but they truly cared about her.
Father Xia and Mother Xia were so healthy, yet they never thought of having another child.
This was because they believed that Xia Shishi was already their most important child, and they didn’t need another one.
Including all the things that happened later.
Father Xia and Mother Xia trusted her unconditionally.
She didn’t seek riches and honor, but happiness and contentment.
Xia Shishi’s eyes were firm; she absolutely must not let what she possessed be destroyed again!
Just, Mom.
Can’t she and her wife stay in the same room?
Mother Xia and the others were tidying up Wen Jiao’s room.
Wen Jiao was pushed by Xia Shishi into her own room.
Pink wallpaper, white fluffy carpet.
A whole wall of wardrobes and an exaggerated dressing table.
The exact opposite of Wen Jiao’s room.
The entire room was decorated according to Xia Shishi’s preferences, including the huge plush toy placed beside the bed, which she had specially brought back from abroad.
Even the chandelier on the ceiling looked like filtered light.
Wen Jiao’s gaze swept around.
Xia Shishi was afraid she would think she was childish, so she wiped sweat and explained: “These were all decorated when I was little. Later, I thought it was too much trouble to change them, requiring major work and costing a lot of money.”
Wen Jiao looked at Xia Shishi. She really knew how to save money.
If she hadn’t witnessed the other person’s grand shopping spree, Wen Jiao would have almost believed it.
Wen Jiao looked carefully again: “Want to move over?”
Xia Shishi was still busy explaining and didn’t react.
Wen Jiao repeated: “Move over. I’ll redecorate the room according to your preferences. I don’t care how much it costs.”
“Ah, this…” Xia Shishi thought for a moment, “Is that okay?”
She truly liked this style.
Wen Jiao: “Yes.”
She rolled her wheelchair over to Xia Shishi’s dressing table.
There were many things on it: jewelry, skincare products, and cosmetics.
Many of them were things she had asked someone to give to Xia Shishi.
It looked like Xia Shishi had taken her to heart a long time ago, but Wen Jiao could tell that Xia Shishi had never worn those necklaces and earrings, and the skincare products had only just been unsealed not long ago.
Wen Jiao had been constantly sending things to the Xia family since she decided to get engaged, for a whole six months.
And these items looked like they had been urgently taken out only on this day.
Xia Shishi’s scalp tightened.
These were the things she had taken out all at once after her rebirth. Before, they were kept in the storage room. However, they weren’t dusty yet, so Wen Jiao probably wouldn’t be able to tell, right?
Wen Jiao picked up a small jar of eye cream on the table.
This one jar cost a five-figure sum, and it was one of the gifts she had given to Xia Shishi.
Xia Shishi hadn’t even used that jar of eye cream.
Xia Shishi quickly went over and blocked the front of the dressing table: “I don’t use this dressing table often, ha ha ha ha…” It seemed she had explained it in vain.
Not using it often but placing it on top—didn’t that still mean she didn’t use it?
Wen Jiao didn’t blame her: “This eye cream isn’t suitable for you.”
She put it down: “Your skincare products are specially customized for you by the corporation. Sending these shows I wasn’t attentive enough.”
Xia Shishi was stunned.
Why did Wen Jiao look more guilty than she was?
“Failing to understand your preferences and still sending them to you must have put a lot of pressure on you,” Wen Jiao looked at the mirror on the dressing table, imagining Xia Shishi’s reaction when she received the gift back then.
Xia Shishi said she wasn’t familiar with her at the time, and Qi Xue was constantly speaking ill of her on the side.
Putting herself in that position, with an already not-so-good impression of the person, opening the gift to find something she disliked would definitely lead her to toss it into the storage room.
Wen Jiao: “I didn’t do well enough.”
Xia Shishi anxiously said: “That’s nonsense, you did well enough.”
Wen Jiao shook her head, not wanting to dwell on this topic.
She had never blamed Xia Shishi for not liking her.
Courting someone wasn’t a simple matter.
Who said that just because you courted someone, they had to like you?
She was just thinking about being good to Xia Shishi, which in itself was a selfish act.
On the contrary, the various things Xia Shishi did after her perspective changed made Wen Jiao realize.
So, this is how you should love someone.
She wasn’t as clever as Xia Shishi.
Wen Jiao was trying to change.
She suddenly asked: “What kind of skincare products do you think suit me?”
Xia Shishi was still thinking about how to comfort Wen Jiao, but she was led by the nose by the other person’s topic again.
Why would Wen Jiao suddenly ask her this?
However, this question was right up Xia Shishi’s alley.
Xia Shishi already liked messing with these things, she loved to dress up, and her family was in this business.
Asking her was not asking the wrong person.
“You, ah.” Xia Shishi placed her hand on Wen Jiao’s face, carefully feeling the texture of Wen Jiao’s skin.
She had basically never been exposed to the sun; due to long-term illness, her skin was very pale.
Her energy was insufficient. If it weren’t for her commanding aura, she would look like a pure sick beauty.
“Very few raw materials are suitable for you.” Considering Wen Jiao’s health, Xia Shishi ruled out many ingredients.
And among the remaining raw materials, she needed to formulate the best combination.
It was very challenging.
But thinking that this was something she was doing for Wen Jiao, Xia Shishi’s eyes shone brightly. She was even a little excited and wanted to start trying right now: “Wait for me.”
Wen Jiao watched her enter a focused state and didn’t disturb her.
She just found this experience very novel.
Wen Jiao disliked overly intimate contact; even necessary touches were hard for her to bear.
An innate aura of isolation surrounded her.
But Xia Shishi was never afraid of this, testing the boundaries by touching every part of her body again and again. Even if Wen Jiao showed a slightly displeased expression, Xia Shishi would only confidently justify herself: “These are all necessary.”
Wen Jiao thought Xia Shishi reaching out was another attempt to play the role of the little pervert.
But Xia Shishi was very serious this time.
“Wife.” Xia Shishi came back to her senses, noticing Wen Jiao had been watching her. She licked her lip, “I’ll make you look incredibly beautiful in the future, how about that?”
The prettier her wife was, the more excited this pervert could be, ah.
