Transmigrated as the Chongxi Wife of a Critically Ill Young Lady - Chapter 25

Chapter 25

Ji Wanqing and Liu Hao talked for about an hour, getting straight to the point and spilling all the evidence she could provide in one go. Every time Cen Xia translated a sentence, her heart ached as if it were being whipped.

Even Liu Hao, who had been working in law for many years, had his worldview shattered after listening.

Ji Wanqing’s will was very firm. Once she made a decision, she didn’t even flinch, even if it meant being subjected to a slow and painful execution. Some memories were so difficult to speak of that it took her a long time to express them little by little in sign language, but she never shed a single tear.

As soon as Liu Hao left with the information, Yan Shuang proactively came in with his medical bag. Ji Wanqing’s condition was better than the last few times. Cen Xia was half-crouched, holding her, her eyes red. Yan Shuang cleared his throat.

Cen Xia quickly composed herself, stood properly by Ji Wanqing’s side, and said, “Dr. Yan.”

Yan Shuang felt that he had come in at a bad time and asked awkwardly, “Does Miss need help?”

Ji Wanqing shook her head and raised her hand directly.

—How is your research on the medical records going? Can you provide evidence before the trial?

Yan Shuang was stunned for a moment and said, “I’ll do my best!”

Although Dr. Yan was a man of Zen, his Zen attitude was nothing in the eyes of the young miss. As early as when he encouraged Cen Xia to let her get an IV drip, she knew what he was trying to do.

Ji Wanqing looked at Cen Xia beside her and slowly raised her hand to Dr. Yan.

—Can I stand up again? She wants to see me wear trousers.

She always remembered how bright and full of anticipation the girl’s eyes were that night when she felt her legs responding. She wanted to stand up and wear trousers for her one more time.

Yan Shuang said, “I’ll do my best, but the treatment process might be a bit difficult. Miss, you…”

He stopped there, only hinting at the rest. Ji Wanqing was the most difficult patient he had ever encountered. Not only was she stubborn and had a big temper, but she also didn’t like to follow medical advice. If something went wrong during the treatment, it might just ruin his reputation as a Zen divine doctor. He couldn’t just make a promise without thinking it through.

Ji Wanqing looked at him with half-closed eyes.

—Do you think I won’t cooperate with you?

Dr. Yan quickly waved his hands. “No, no. There are no major problems with Miss’s legs. With treatment, you can definitely stand up again given time!”

Ji Wanqing raised her hand.

—How long is “given time”?

Yan Shuang: …

See? He hadn’t even started the treatment and she was already pressuring him. Being the private doctor of this young miss was not easy.

He cleared his throat and said, “No more than a year at the longest…” Seeing Ji Wanqing looking at him, he changed his answer. “Half… half a year.”

Ji Wanqing was still looking at him.

Yan Shuang said, “Three months?”

Ji Wanqing lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and then raised her hand.

—Okay, three months it is. After three months, not only do I want to be able to wear trousers, but I also want to be able to speak!

Dr. Yan paused for a moment, thinking, “Your request is really ‘low’!”

Seeing him hesitate, Ji Wanqing raised her hand again.

—Can’t do it?

Dr. Yan quickly made a military pledge. “I can, I can!”

Ji Wanqing raised her hand.

—Shaoyun is busy with the company. The software he wrote for replying to comments is good. If you have time, help out with it.

Yan Shuang: …

She’s holding a grudge, damn it! It’s all his fault for running his mouth and encouraging the madam to use that thing for no reason!

Ji Wanqing raised an eyebrow.

—Hmm?

Yan Shuang said, “Fine!”

Ji Wanqing waved her hand.

—Go and be busy. Thank you for your hard work!

Dr. Yan left with his medical bag, looking unenthusiastic.

Cen Xia smiled and said, “Big sister, why are you bullying him?”

Ji Wanqing raised her hand. “He was bullying you first. What I’m doing is called ‘using his own methods against him.'”

Cen Xia’s eyes welled up. For the first time in a long time, she saw a spark of life in Ji Wanqing. She couldn’t help but pounce on her, kiss her cheek, quickly pull away, and smile at her with squinted eyes. “Big sister can protect me again. I’m so happy!”

Ji Wanqing touched the side of her face that had been kissed, her lips also curved in a reserved manner.

—Don’t ever do that again!

Cen Xia deliberately teased, “Do what?”

Ji Wanqing’s face turned red, and she looked away. Cen Xia clung to her and kept asking, “Do what, big sister? Do what?”

Until she made her feel shy, Cen Xia draped both of her arms over her shoulders and whispered in her ear, “Big sister, I really like holding you like this. It feels so comfortable.”

Ji Wanqing’s ear was very ticklish. She pushed her away and signed her name with her hand.

—Cen Xia, I’m not feeling well!

Cen Xia leaned in, tilted her head to meet her gaze, “Where are you not feeling well, big sister? Let me see?”

Ji Wanqing was indeed a bit weak. She bit her lip and gestured to her.

—I’m really not feeling well. My head is very dizzy.

Cen Xia immediately stopped fooling around and pushed her towards the stairs.

Ji Wanqing closed her eyes and leaned on the wheelchair, resting for a while. She felt her heart wasn’t beating as fast anymore. Only then did she look up at Cen Xia, who had a panicked expression. She slowly raised her arm.

—I lied to you. Why are you so nervous?

Cen Xia freed one hand and gently pinched her cheek, saying, “Bad big sister, why did you lie to me? Are you bullying me because you know I care about you? Only I am easy to fool! Try lying to Shanquan!”

Ji Wanqing smiled. She had put on some makeup for her meeting with her subordinate, but it still couldn’t hide her haggardness. The lipstick on her chapped lips didn’t look very smooth. Cen Xia saw the cold sweat on her back. She didn’t call her out on it and just said, “Big sister, you have to be good from now on!”

She pushed her inside and helped her onto the sofa, using a makeup wipe to clean the foundation off her face. Her facial features were beautiful. Although she had become emaciated during this time, she was still breathtakingly beautiful. Ji Wanqing was a girl with a strong presence. With light makeup, her features looked even more profound and three-dimensional. For a moment, Cen Xia even fantasized about her wearing a suit and trousers, thriving in the workplace.

Ji Wanqing saw her getting lost in thought and flicked her on the head.

Cen Xia’s lychee-shaped eyes widened, and she squealed like a child, “Big sister, you dare to ambush me? No, no, I’m going to get you back!”

She curled her fingers, deliberately breathed on them, and aimed for Ji Wanqing’s forehead. Ji Wanqing dodged, and Cen Xia pinned her down on the sofa.

Ji Wanqing had no strength at all. She was a small bundle huddled on the sofa, her lips pursed as she looked at her.

Cen Xia brought her finger close, and Ji Wanqing closed her eyes in fear. Cen Xia couldn’t bear to flick her, so she kissed her cheek instead. She propped herself up on the sofa with her hands and smiled mischievously at her.

“Do you dare to ambush me again, huh?”

Ji Wanqing didn’t respond, so Cen Xia kept asking, “Do you dare to ambush me again?”

Ji Wanqing still didn’t say anything. Cen Xia lowered her head and kissed her on the other cheek, smiling at her with the corners of her lips curled up. “Did you admit your mistake?”

Ji Wanqing shook her head. Both her cheeks were red, and her dark eyes were twinkling.

Cen Xia was not convinced. She propped herself up and looked down at her, as if looking down at prey. “Did you admit your mistake, big sister?” She wanted to lower her head again.

Ji Wanqing quickly covered her face with both hands.

Cen Xia clung to her, determined to get an answer. She was more stubborn than Ji Wanqing. Even when she was so soft she was like a puddle of spring water, she wouldn’t give in.

The two of them continued to play on the sofa, and the long-quiet room finally had some life. Shanquan saw that Ji Wanqing was being bullied, wagged its tail, and pounced on Cen Xia, biting her ear.

It was very good at distinguishing between its owners. Every time it bit Ji Wanqing, it would gently lick her feet. When it bit Cen Xia, it would use the tip of its teeth, as if it was afraid it wouldn’t be able to rescue its other owner in time and she would be harmed by this person.

After the human-cat war ended, Ji Wanqing was drenched in sweat. She lay on the sofa, exhausted but more relaxed than ever before.

Cen Xia knelt beside her and smiled at her with squinted eyes. “Beg me, beg me and I’ll carry you to take a bath!”

Ji Wanqing didn’t move.

Cen Xia said, “Don’t you love being clean? Hurry up and beg me!”

Ji Wanqing still didn’t move. Cen Xia wanted to lean down again. Shanquan jumped onto her shoulder and slapped her on the side of her face.

Ji Wanqing laughed, looking gleeful.

Cen Xia pretended to be angry, her starry eyes glaring at her. “You’re still laughing? Neither of you, the human and the cat, are any good!”

She shook Shanquan off her shoulder and began to tickle Ji Wanqing’s sides with both hands. “I’ll make you laugh, make you laugh…”

Ji Wanqing was so ticklish she squirmed like a little bug. She didn’t have much strength to struggle. Cen Xia stopped after a while of bullying her and asked with a smile, “Did you admit your mistake?”

Ji Wanqing pursed her lips.

Cen Xia became even more triumphant. “Say you were wrong and beg for my forgiveness!”

Ji Wanqing didn’t answer, so Cen Xia raised her hand to scare her.

Ji Wanqing’s body flinched. Cen Xia scared her two or three times, and then did it for real. Ji Wanqing was completely out of strength and lay there resignedly like a dead fish.

Cen Xia fooled around for a while, and when she saw that Ji Wanqing had finally given in, she stopped bullying her. She slid off the sofa, ready to go to the walk-in closet to find her a change of clothes. Ji Wanqing reached out, grabbed her lapel, and then made a buzzing gesture.

—Please, please take me to take a bath.

Cen Xia was so enchanted that she was dazed for several seconds. Then she kissed her cheek, ear, and neck, saying while kissing, “Big sister, how can you be so cute? I love you so much. How can you be so cute…”

Wherever her skin touched, it left a warm trace. Ji Wanqing’s heart was also warm. She was very happy, very blissful. Even if she was going to die the next second, she would hold on to this moment, and remember this girl who was holding her…

After Cen Xia helped Ji Wanqing with her bath and just laid her on the bed, Tang Shaoyun’s voice call came in. After his non-stop efforts for the past two days, Jiang Corp. finally agreed to a remote meeting, but the person in charge there specifically asked for Ji Wanqing to attend. Director Tang had no choice but to call to ask about the situation.

Ji Wanqing had originally planned to have Yan Shuang come up to check her legs in the afternoon. Weighing the two options, she chose to attend the meeting first.

Tang Shaoyun said, “Miss, Jiang Corp. has a new person in charge. It seems to be Old Master Jiang’s granddaughter, who just returned from studying abroad. Do you need me to send you her information?”

Ji Wanqing was stunned for a moment and then raised her hand.

—Is it Jiang He?

Tang Shaoyun said, “Yes. I heard she’s quite difficult to deal with!”
