Why did they end up like this today?

When Zhai En woke up the next day, Xia Shi was not in the room, and a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine wafted in from outside.

He got out of bed with some difficulty and went to the kitchen, where he saw her making breakfast. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

On the stove next to her, medicine was simmering over a low flame.

Zhai En felt a softness in his heart, and all the darkness vanished.

This kind of morning was something he dreamed of seeing.

Hearing a sound behind her, Xia Shi turned around, unsure of how to face him.

She hastily averted her eyes, "The breakfast will be ready once I add another egg, you wait outside for a bit."

"I want to see what you look like making breakfast for me."

Xia Shi felt a pain in her heart and hurriedly turned back to fry the egg.

Zhai En opened his mouth, wanting to explain the marriage situation to her.

But he held back.

It was rare for the morning to be so peaceful, he didn’t want to spoil the mood.

No one spoke, they ate breakfast in silence.

The living room had already been tidied up, with no trace of last night’s fight visible.

After breakfast, Xia Shi went to bring over the medicine, "Drink this."

Zhai En frowned, somewhat disgusted.

Traditional Chinese medicine was really hard to drink, he preferred western medicine pills, which he could swallow easily.

But this was decocted by Zhong Shixia, even if it were poison, he’d drink it gladly.

Pinching his nose, he drank it down and placed the bowl beside Xia Shi, as if saying, I finished, praise me quickly.

Xia Shi stood up expressionlessly and brought over three prescriptions.

"This one’s for fever, drink it again at noon today, and this one is for recuperating the body, you... what are you doing."

Before she finished speaking, Zhai En stretched out his hand, pressing it down on the prescriptions and interrupting her.

"Shi Shi, I can’t remember, you help me with the medicine."

Xia Shi felt a dull ache in her heart, "Then I’ll give the prescription to Qiao Yuchu, she’s your future wife, she should handle these things."

Zhai En’s face suddenly darkened, "My future wife is you."

"I already know." Xia Shi said very calmly, at least she appeared calm on the surface.

She calmly looked him in the eye, "Congratulations, I wish you both a long and happy marriage and many children."

Those last four words were like a knife, stabbing her until she was bleeding profusely.

They took away her child, yet she was blessing them with many children, how ironic!

After speaking, she stood up to return to her room.

Zhai En panicked, swiftly standing up.

His movement was too sudden, causing a lack of blood supply, and he almost fainted.

Xia Shi quickly supported him, "Why are you rushing around, are you unhappy with your good health?"

Zhai En frantically grabbed her hand, "Shi Shi, listen to my explanation, I don’t know what Qiao Yuchu told you, but there’s really nothing between us."

"Director Zhai, you’re getting married next month, isn’t it ridiculous to say there’s nothing between you now?"

"The marriage is fake, Qiao Yuchu is the precious daughter of the Qiao Family, when she gets married, all members of the Qiao Family will surely attend, and then we’ll ambush them all together.

I will personally avenge you and the child’s hatred.

I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to worry, I thought you were in Huaxia and wouldn’t know about things in M Country. I planned to tell you once everything was resolved, so you wouldn’t overthink.

I didn’t expect Qiao Yuchu would tell you these things, no matter what she said, don’t believe it, just trust me, okay."

"You’re crazy!" Xia Shi was suddenly shocked, "You want to go against the Qiao Family, are you seeking death! The Qiao Family and Zhai Family won’t let you off!"
