Substitute Bride to the Crippled Billionaire-Chapter 34: Onset of Symptoms

Before long, Su Qingnuan came out hugging a quilt.

"I’ll trouble you for tonight," Su Qingnuan said with a smile. "If you need any help, feel free to contact me at any time."

Ah Qi nodded, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted.

However, this person really didn’t know how to smile; he looked quite frightening.

Su Qingnuan instinctively took a step back, chuckling awkwardly, "Then I won’t disturb you. You should rest first."

With that said, she turned and went back to her room.

Ah Qi patted his mouth in confusion.

Am I really that scary?

...

Su Qingnuan was startled awake in the middle of the night.

After waking up, she groggily heard sounds outside and quietly got up to look.

The lights outside were brightly lit, and someone was pacing anxiously back and forth.

Su Qingnuan rubbed her eyes, and after seeing clearly who it was, she opened the door.

"Ah Qi, what are you doing?"

Ah Qi turned around, exhaled a sigh of relief upon seeing Su Qingnuan.

"Eldest Young Mistress." ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Su Qingnuan nodded, her eyes fell on his hand holding a wet towel.

"What’s going on?" Su Qingnuan looked towards Fu Yihan’s room in confusion, "Is he awake?"

Ah Qi sighed and slowly shook his head without speaking.

Seeing this, Su Qingnuan tentatively asked, "Should we call Dr. Qin Chuan over?"

"No, we can’t alarm the old master and them."

"..."

So should we just hold it in like this?

Su Qingnuan frowned, looking at Fu Yihan’s closed door—a forbidden door.

"Ah Qi, what’s wrong with Mr. Fu?" Su Qingnuan asked again.

Ah Qi raised his eyes, seeing the seriousness and severity in Su Qingnuan’s eyes, he remained silent for a while.

After a long pause, Ah Qi opened his mouth, "The Eldest Young Master’s leg illness has flared up. It’s very painful now."

"Pain?" Su Qingnuan asked in surprise, "Do we have medicine? Give him some medicine."

"No." Ah Qi shook his head, cautiously said, "Previously, because of the medicine, the Eldest Young Master almost didn’t wake up, he can’t take painkillers now."

"So, he should just endure the pain?" Su Qingnuan gritted her teeth, whispering, "We have to find a solution."

Ah Qi looked troubled yet helpless.

Su Qingnuan gritted her teeth and walked towards the door.

"Eldest Young Mistress!" Ah Qi hastily said, "The Eldest Young Master can’t be provoked right now."

"..."

Su Qingnuan’s hand paused on the door, fear flickered in her eyes, but then she asked, "Will he hit me?"

Ah Qi didn’t reply, but his heavy expression clearly told Su Qingnuan that there’s a high chance he would.

The person inside didn’t seem very strong; if he hit her, it probably wouldn’t hurt much, right?

Thinking like this, Su Qingnuan couldn’t put her mind at ease and slowly pushed the door open.

The room was very dark, only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard.

The light slipping through the door crept onto the bed.

With the help of this light, Su Qingnuan could clearly see the person outlined on the bed.

Su Qingnuan swallowed, softly saying, "Mr. Fu, are you alright?"

"Bang—"

The sudden flying pillow startled Su Qingnuan, leaving her standing still in place.

"Get out!"

The hysterical voice couldn’t hide the underlying pain.

Ah Qi frowned and grabbed Su Qingnuan’s hand.

"Eldest Young Mistress, please close the door."

Su Qingnuan turned back to look at him, whispered, "Do you really intend to just watch him suffer?"

"..."

After a long pause, Ah Qi loosened his grip, looking at Su Qingnuan with sympathy.

The look in his eyes seemed to say, good luck to you.

Su Qingnuan swallowed and cautiously walked inside.

Just this once, and she would never meddle again.

Su Qingnuan warned herself in her heart, cautiously approaching the bedside.

As she got closer, Su Qingnuan realized the entire bed was shaking, showing how much the person was trembling.

Su Qingnuan frowned slightly, and amid the tightly wrapped covers, she found Fu Yihan’s head.

"Mr. Fu," Su Qingnuan called softly.

The trembling of the bed paused for a moment, then the covers were pulled back.

Fu Yihan’s bloodshot eyes looked like those of a wolf in the night, full of threat.

Su Qingnuan was taken aback, unconsciously stepping back.

Fu Yihan’s eyes flashed with disdain, coldly saying, "Get out."

Cold as winter frost, impossible to melt.

Su Qingnuan opened her mouth, only to find herself unable to utter a single word.

Seeing her still standing there, the red in Fu Yihan’s eyes became even more pronounced.

"Get out!"

Su Qingnuan suddenly snapped back to reality!

The person before her wasn’t a beast—it was Fu Yihan!

Just an injured person, really not that scary! Su Qingnuan! You came to help! You need to show Mr. Fu your usefulness! Your courage!

Su Qingnuan gritted her teeth and approached the bedside again.

"Mr. Fu," Su Qingnuan said softly, "Previously, due to health reasons, I studied acupuncture for a while. If you don’t mind, I can help..."

"Get out!"

Her words weren’t finished when Fu Yihan interrupted coldly.

Su Qingnuan bit her lip, her eyes showing grievance.

Suddenly, Fu Yihan collapsed, revealing a painful expression, his voice turning hoarse.

"Eldest Young Master!" Ah Qi rushed in to support him, "You can’t endure it any longer! I’ll call Young Master Qin Chuan!"

His hand was pinned down by Fu Yihan.

Fu Yihan’s icy gaze fell on Su Qingnuan, amid twisted pain, there was a hint of judgment.

Su Qingnuan looked at him trembling, at a loss.

"I’ll give you one chance," Fu Yihan suddenly said.

Su Qingnuan was slightly stunned.

Ah Qi looked at Su Qingnuan, hastily saying, "Eldest Young Mistress, do you have the tools? For acupuncture!"

"Ah... I do! I have them!"

Running hurriedly back to her room, Su Qingnuan took out the silver needles buried at the bottom of her box and went to Fu Yihan’s room.

The lights in the room were already on, Fu Yihan was drenched, as if fished out of water.

Su Qingnuan carefully sat down, looking at Ah Qi.

"I need to expose his leg..."

Ah Qi glanced at Fu Yihan, who had his eyes closed, got up and said, "I’ll step out first, Eldest Young Mistress. Do not let us down."

With that, he left.

After the door closed, Su Qingnuan carefully rolled up Fu Yihan’s pant leg.

The mottled marks were exposed to the air, Fu Yihan’s body shuddered slightly.

Su Qingnuan turned, looking at Fu Yihan biting his teeth.

"Mr. Fu," Su Qingnuan suddenly spoke, "Because of a heart issue, I have a scar on my chest. I knew from an early age that I was different. What others could do, I couldn’t. My sister was always cheerful, and my parents liked her, but me..."

"Shut up!" Fu Yihan’s icy voice had a hint of irritability, "I’m not here to listen to your stories."

Su Qingnuan turned back, meeting Fu Yihan’s sweaty gaze.

Clearly in unbearable pain, yet maintaining an icy expression.

Su Qingnuan couldn’t help but smile, taking out the silver needle, dropping it slowly and steadily.

"I’m trying to distract you, this way, I can better..."

With that, she exerted force with her hand, piercing the silver needle.

"Mmm—"
