Huo Mansion.
As soon as Xu Qi, who had just returned from outside, caught sight of Huo Juanyan sitting in a wheelchair with an upright posture, his shoulders meticulously defined.
A dark blanket covered his long legs, and his distinguished face showed a hint of bleakness.
Next to him, Chi Ying was holding his hand, continually talking to him.
Upon seeing Xu Qi, Chi Ying immediately asked, "Xu Qi, did the Young Madam accept the keys?"
Xu Qi glanced at the aloof young master before answering, "The Young Madam accepted them."
Chi Ying nodded in satisfaction. "Did she say anything?"
Xu Qi smiled and said, "Old Madam, the Young Madam said she will come over and thank you in person another day. She’s also especially concerned about you, saying if there’s anything wrong, I should inform her immediately, and she will hurry over."
Chi Ying was very pleased upon hearing this and then said to Huo Juanyan, "Juanyan, look at the wife I found for you, how good she is. You should treat her well."
Huo Juanyan envisioned Nan Qingqing’s pretentious face in his mind, a trace of dislike flickering at the back of his eyes but soon vanished as he said indifferently, "Grandma, she has always loved to act; be careful not to be deceived by her."
Chi Ying frowned, withdrew her hand, and said somewhat displeased, "How can you speak like that? Don’t think I am unaware of your dissatisfaction with this arranged marriage, but I have met her. She’s obedient and a well-behaved girl, a rare find. Marrying you should be considered your good fortune."
"She hasn’t looked down on you, yet you are despising her first?"
A glint of darkness flashed in Huo Juanyan’s eyes as he frowned slightly, speaking unhappily, "Grandma, you’ve only met her once; do you like her that much already?"
Chi Ying responded lightheartedly, "She is particularly lovable. If you saw her a few more times, you would like her too."
As Huo Juanyan thought of Nan Qingqing in the bar, his eyes darkened, and he decisively said, "Impossible."
Chi Ying glanced at him and took a sip of tea, "Juanyan, I already had Xu Qi give her the keys to the marital home and your usual residence. You two will be living together soon. Be somewhat flexible when you talk; don’t speak too absolutely, in case you end up getting contradicted."
Huo Juanyan’s expression darkened, his lips pressed tightly together as the aura around him became heavier.
She truly is manipulative.
After leaving the mansion, Huo Juanyan, whose eyes were as cold as ice, immediately instructed Xia Xing,
"Call her and tell her to return the keys. I won’t allow her to live with me."
Seeing Huo Juanyan’s anger causing veins to throb on his forehead, Xia Xing replied, fearful, "Yes, President Huo."
It had only been three days after the marriage, and President Huo had already lost his temper with Miss Nan several times. With three months left, how would they get through it?
Meanwhile, inside the old mansion, Chi Ying took the medicine handed to her by Xu Qi, the corners of her mouth still bearing an irrepressible smile.
As she drank, she said, "Xu Qi, do you think that once they live together as husband and wife, they will take a liking to each other?"
Xu Qi took the empty bowl after she finished the medicine, "Old Madam, having known the young master since he was a child, you understand him best. If you think he will like her, then he surely will. As for the Young Madam... after living together for a while, feelings will naturally develop."
Chi Ying nodded, then closed her eyes and prayed with both hands, "May Xiao Yu take a liking to Juanyan."
She opened her eyes and sighed, "But I don’t know when Xiao Yu will be willing to move in."
After pondering for a moment, Xu Qi respectfully said in a low voice, "Old Madam, when the Young Madam comes over to the old mansion to check on your health this weekend, perhaps you could also call the young master back and let them meet and have a good talk."
Chi Ying’s eyes brightened, "Indeed, and let Xiao Yu take a look at Juanyan’s leg while she’s here. Maybe she could help cure his leg problem."
"With this back and forth, the couple will become closer!"
