Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 684 - 280. [Summer of Dew] Like being afraid this is just a dream. _2

Without Mr. Xu’s obstruction, Wanxia’s gaze met Xu Qiubai’s eyes.

Xu Qiubai looked at Wanxia and smiled, "What are you dazing out for? Don’t recognize me?" He touched his chin, "I checked in the mirror, and it seems I haven’t gotten uglier."

He was not only smiling but also speaking.

This was the brightest sunshine to appear during the most dismal time for Wanxia.

Wanxia looked at Xu Qiubai without blinking, her eyes felt hot, and she had an urge to cry.

One of the oldest sayings on Weibo is: When God closes a door for you, he opens a window.

She couldn’t defeat Shen Weiyi, but Xu Qiubai woke up.

Perhaps, this is destiny.

Xu Qiubai’s face still had a bit of the paleness of someone newly recovered from illness, and the stubble growing on his chin made him look a bit more mature than before.

All the old memories burst forth at this moment, twisting Wanxia’s heart with a piercing pain.

She stepped her stiff legs forward and sat in the chair by the hospital bed, wearing a delicate, gentle smile, "Xu Qiubai, do you know what year, month, and day it is now?"

Xu Qiubai was a bit speechless, rubbing Wanxia’s hair with amusement, "I just lay there for more than four years, my brain isn’t broken."

Wanxia didn’t like Xu Qiubai touching her head, because the Xu Family had a dog, and Xu Qiubai’s action was exactly like petting a dog.

She mercilessly brushed away his hand, squinting her eyes, "From the way you speak, it sounds like four years weren’t enough, you want to lie there for a few more?"

"Not at all, I can’t bear seeing my dad’s hair turn any whiter," Xu Qiubai spoke with a lighthearted smile on his face, but a faint sadness stained his voice, "Mr. Liu is gone, now it’s just me for my dad."

Xu Qiubai’s mother was a schoolteacher, and he always called her that from a young age.

The deliberately light-hearted smile on Wanxia’s face froze at this moment and slowly faded. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

She lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously pinching the tender flesh of her palm, her lips moved, and after a while, she finally uttered, "Qiubai, I’m sorry, I’m sorry..."

This was the most useless phrase, but she didn’t know what else she could say.

Xu Qiubai seemed utterly confused about where Wanxia’s inexplicable ’sorry’ came from, even though his parents treated Ji Wanxia and Lin Chu like their daughters, as they grew up without a mother, and since kindergarten, the three had stuck together, many times, Mr. and Mrs. Xu treated the two girls better than their son.

With Mr. Liu gone, it’s normal for Wanxia to feel sad and mournful, so words like ’The deceased is gone, don’t be sad’ seemed more appropriate than ’Sorry.’

He chuckled and asked, "I was in a car accident, hovering between life and death, so Mr. Liu fell ill, what does that have to do with you?"

Hearing Xu Qiubai’s words, Wanxia was taken aback.

Aunt Xu collapsed because of the shocking look that Xia Qian had after the assault, and also, the child in Xia Qian’s belly...

And Xu Qiubai’s car accident happened after Aunt Xu got sick and was sent to the emergency room.

Wanxia lifted her head, staring at Xu Qiubai without blinking, "Are, are you sure you remember correctly?"

Xu Qiubai felt a bit puzzled, "She’s my mom, how could I remember incorrectly."

"Xia Qian..."

Wanxia barely uttered two words when the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open. Mr. Xu’s action in opening the door was hurried, and his expression didn’t look quite natural.

Mr. Xu was signaling to Wanxia with his eyes.

Xu Qiubai became more puzzled, holding his forehead as he asked, "Dad, what’s wrong with your eyes?"

This is what happens when in front of your own son, you signal to someone else???

"Hahaha, my eyes suddenly cramped, had to move a bit," Mr. Xu laughed heartily twice, walking to the bedside, giving Wanxia a gentle pat on the back where Xu Qiubai couldn’t see.

Then, naturally took out a teacup to make tea, and chatted.

After Mr. Xu entered, Wanxia had been in a distracted state, and the water in her cup had turned cold, but she hadn’t taken a sip.

Xu Qiubai also noticed that Wanxia seemed off; she was incredibly thin, her cheeks pale after the flush from running up the stairs faded, and fatigue was evident in her eyes.

"It’s getting late, you should go home and rest."

Only then did Wanxia come back to her senses, nodding slowly.

"I’ll walk Wanxia downstairs, you stay here," Mr. Xu stood up, placed the call bell next to the bed, and reminded his son, not at ease, "If you feel uncomfortable, just press the button and call the doctor, don’t fuss around yourself."
