Bigoted Mr. Fu Lets Me Do Whatever I Want

Chapter 1148: It Was Rare for Him to Act Coquettishly

Xiao Jiu felt that he had slept for a long time. His head was dizzy. Because he was worried about Grandma and was afraid that something would happen to her, he kept calling out ‘Grandma’.

When Qin Shu walked in, she heard her son calling out for Grandma in a low voice. She excitedly grabbed her son’s hand and said softly, “Xiao Jiu, Mommy is here. Tell Mommy where you’re feeling unwell.”

Hearing Mommy’s voice, Xiao Jiu instantly felt much more at ease.

“Mommy, where’s Grandma? I protected Grandma. I promised Mommy that I would protect Grandma.”

Xiao Jiu’s voice was very low and weak. Qin Shu could only hear her son’s words when she was very close to him.

“Grandma is fine. She’s resting in the ward.” Qin Shu touched her son’s pale little face with relief. She also felt sorry for him for being so sensible and responsible at such a young age.

In Qin Shu’s heart, Xiao Jiu and Mommy were both very important existences. She could not withstand any one of them getting injured.

“Xiao Jiu is the best. Xiao Jiu saved Grandma. My Xiao Jiu is the best.” As Qin Shu said this, her tears inevitably fell onto the back of Xiao Jiu’s hand.

“Mommy, don’t cry. I’m fine.” Xiao Jiu stretched out his small, fleshy hand and tried to help her with her tears. However, he could not reach her because she was too far away.

Qin Shu sensed her son’s intention and leaned closer. After she shortened the distance, Xiao Jiu’s hand could easily wipe away the tears on her face.

“Xiao Jiu, tell Mommy where you’re feeling unwell. I’ll get the doctor to take a look at you.” Qin Shu tried her best not to cry.

“My chest hurts. Mommy, my head hurts too.”

It was rare for Xiao Jiu to act coquettishly, but it upset Qin Shu. Her son was only five years old. How could he withstand such severe internal injuries?

Not even an adult could withstand that kind of pain, moreover a child like him.

Feng Jiuxiao also wore an anti-bacterial suit and walked in. He stood beside Qin Shu, patted her shoulder, and said in a low voice, “You go out first.”

Qin Shu raised her head and saw Feng Jiuxiao standing beside her. He was wearing an anti-bacterial suit, and at first glance, she almost couldn’t recognize him.

She called out in puzzlement, “Master.”

Feng Jiuxiao knew that Qin Shu was worried. “Listen to me. Go out and wait.”

Qin Shu hesitated for a moment and looked at her son. She stood up and walked out.

After the door was closed, Feng Jiuxiao’s amber eyes looked at Xiao Jiu, who was lying on the bed. Although he had woken up, his face was still pale. He stretched out his slender fingers and picked up Xiao Jiu’s hand.

Xiao Jiu felt dizzy and wanted to sleep. When he saw Grandpa come, he asked in puzzlement, “Grandpa, what do you want to do?”

Feng Jiuxiao said placidly, “I will treat your internal injuries. It won’t hurt later.”

“Really? It won’t hurt later?” Xiao Jiu could not believe that Grandpa was so formidable.

“When have I ever lied to you?” Feng Jiuxiao looked down at Xiao Jiu.

Qin Shu, who was standing outside the ward, fixed her gaze on the inside of the ward. She did not know what Master was trying to do, even sending her away.

It was very quiet no matter it was outside or inside the ward. Even the slightest sound of footsteps would be thunderous.

The door opened after an unknown period, and Feng Jiuxiao walked out. She hurriedly asked, “Master, how is Xiao Jiu?”

Feng Jiuxiao replied, “He’s already asleep.”

When he finished speaking, he saw that she had not touched the food on the chair. It had turned cold after such a long time. He grabbed Qin Shu’s hand and said, “Go eat first and sleep for a while after that.”

“But…” Qin Shu looked inside and was a little hesitant.

Feng Jiuxiao said, “Xiao Jiu is fine.”

Qin Shu was stunned for a moment. She thought about what he had been doing inside for such a long time.

“Ling’er should be awake. I’ll go back first. Remember to eat and rest.” Feng Jiuxiao said and walked into the next room to take off the anti-bacterial suit before returning to the ward.

Qin Shu stood at the ward’s door and looked inside for a while. When she saw that her son was asleep, she turned around and left.

She had not eaten, drank, or slept for a day and a night. And with her mental exhaustion, she was a little weakened.

After going back, Ye Luo prepared a new meal. Qin Shu took a shower, ate some food, and went to rest.

Perhaps she was too tired. She lay on the bed and fell asleep in a short while.

Because Feng Jiuxiao had spent a lot of energy and martial art strength treating Xiao Jiu’s internal injuries, he was covered in sweat. He also took a shower and changed his clothes after returning home.

After taking a shower, he felt much more refreshed.

He came to the hospital bed and found that Ling’er had just woken up. He took two steps forward and sat down by the bed. He reached out to help her up. “Be careful.”

Ling’er had slept for two hours and felt much better. Her first words were, “Has Xiao Jiu woken up?”

“He just woke up not long ago and fell asleep again.” Feng Jiuxiao took two soft pillows and placed them behind her so that it would be more comfortable for her.

After she leaned on them properly, he retracted his hand and stood up to pour a cup of warm water for Ling’er. He handed it to her and said gently, “Drink some water first.”

“OK.” Ling’er was indeed a little thirsty. She took the cup of water and drank a few mouthfuls to moisten her throat.

After she had drunk it, Feng Jiuxiao placed the cup of water back on the table.

Ling’er asked softly, “Did the doctor say how Xiao Jiu’s injuries are?”

Feng Jiuxiao replied, “There’s not much of a problem. If everything goes well, you can visit him tomorrow.”

“That’s good. It’s good that he’s fine.” Ling’er still felt a little worried. She could not really put her heart at ease until she saw Xiao Jiu.

She seemed to have thought of something and suddenly raised her head to look at the man and asked, “Is Xiao Jiu’s mommy here? I want to see her.”

Feng Jiuxiao replied, “She has been guarding Xiao Jiu for a day and a night without sleeping. Just now, I told her to go back and rest.”

“She must have been scared to death when she saw Xiao Jiu suffer such a serious injury. I better go and apologize after she wakes up. After all, Xiao Jiu was implicated because of me. He also suffered such a serious injury because of saving me. He’s only a few years old, and he actually shouted, don’t bully my Grandma.”

Ling’er still felt a lingering fear when she thought about it.

“When she wakes up, I will ask her to come over and meet you.”

Feng Jiuxiao sighed to himself and stretched out his arms to pull her into his arms. His chin pressed against her soft hair. Ling’er quietly leaned in his embrace and listened to his firm and powerful heartbeat, feeling very at ease.

After a few seconds of silence, Feng Jiuxiao thought of his conversation with Qin Shu. He suddenly asked, “Ling’er, I have a question to ask you.”

Ling’er chuckled, “It’s just a question. You’re making it sound so serious. What question is it? Just ask it.”

Feng Jiuxiao pursed his lips and hesitated for a while before asking, “If I have committed a grave mistake, will you forgive me?”

Ling’er replied, “Why would you ask such a silly question? People in this world inevitably make mistakes. Knowing one’s mistake and being able to change it is the greatest good. You are not a child anymore. Don’t you even understand this principle?”

“Of course I know, but…” Feng Jiuxiao pursed his lips. There were some things that he really could not say.

“We are already so old. What is there that we can’t communicate with each other? It is the same even for mistakes. Tell me, what serious mistake have you committed?”
