In the speeding Bentley, Ye Zhen sat in the back seat and stared blankly out the window.
"Uncle Xiao, what's the date today?"
"Miss Ye, it's the fourth today."
Ye Zhen stared blankly out the window.
A moment later.
"Uncle Xiao, Mr. Lu … has he really woken up?"
Uncle Xiao, who was sitting in the front seat, turned his head around, fully reflecting the attitude a butler should have when facing his mistress. He smiled kindly and said, "Yes, Miss Ye. Young Master really woke up. You've asked this question fourteen times already."
Ye Zhen looked out the window again with a worried expression.
"Don't believe the rumors outside. I've watched Young Master grow up. He's actually a person who's cold on the outside but warm on the inside. You'll know once you get to know him."
Ye Zhen smiled stiffly. Of course, she knew what kind of person Lu Beichuan was.
He was unpredictable, murderous, cruel, insane, and insensitive. He was guilty of all kinds of evil and made people's hair stand on end!
He wouldn't even let his own father off. How could she expect him to have a conscience?!
Ye Zhen was extremely anxious. Originally, she wanted to leave before Lu Beichuan woke up. At this time, she hadn't had any interaction with Lu Beichuan. Even if the Lu Family brought Ye Qing back, Lu Beichuan wouldn't have any doubts. But now that Lu Beichuan had woken up, she would have to interact with Lu Beichuan face-to-face … Oh, and perhaps even have a deeper level of physical interaction.
Of course, that was if Lu Beichuan's body functions were normal.
Ye Zhen became even more anxious when she thought of this.
Why didn't things go according to the plot? Wasn't Lu Beichuan supposed to wake up in half a month? What exactly went wrong?
Could it be that the plot couldn't be reversed? Was she really going to stay by Lu Beichuan's side, become his wife, give birth to a son for him, and in the end, have a miserable end for her family?
The attentive old butler saw the anxiety on Ye Zhen's face and tried to comfort her. "Miss Ye, you really don't have to worry or be afraid. Young Master personally instructed me to pick you up."
Ye Zhen was speechless. She revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. "I'm fine."
The Bentley was driving steadily and quickly. Ye Zhen looked at the smiling driver in the driver's seat with a wooden expression.
Not long after, the Lu Family arrived. The old butler got out of the car and personally opened the car door for Ye Zhen. He bowed and made an inviting gesture.
Everyone in the Lu Family looked as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year. Ye Zhen forced a stiff smile on her face as she followed the old butler upstairs. The spacious and comfortable room was so crowded that not even a drop of water could trickle through. Through the gaps in the crowd, Ye Zhen saw Old Master Lu and Mother Lu sitting by the bed. William was also examining the awakened Lu Beichuan.
Lu Beichuan seemed to have just woken up. His face was abnormally pale as usual, and he leaned weakly against the headboard of the bed. His eyebrows were drooping, and he looked as if this had nothing to do with him. It was as if he wasn't the center of attention in these people's eyes.
Ye Zhen drifted away from the crowd. After William finished his examination, he said to Old Master Lu, "Old Master Lu, can I have a word with you in private?"
He didn't want Lu Beichuan to know the specifics of the situation. However, if a doctor didn't want to speak frankly in front of a patient, it wouldn't be a good situation. Everyone present understood what William meant.
Old Master Lu was about to get up when he heard a deep voice. "Just say it here."
This voice made Ye Zhen's ears suddenly burn.
This voice sounded very much like the domineering "Don't cry" in her dream. It carried a tone that didn't allow anyone to object. She was so scared that she really stopped crying.
William glanced at Old Master Lu. After getting a nod from the Old Master Lu, he said, "Although Mr. Lu has already woken up, I still have to explain the specifics of the situation to everyone. A year ago, Mr. Lu injured his legs, waist, and brain in a car accident. Because of the brain injury, he was in a coma for nearly a year. I also did a preliminary examination of the injury to his legs a year ago. Now it seems that the injuries to Mr. Lu's legs and waist are more serious than I originally estimated. I'm afraid …"
His worried tone made people's hearts jump to their throats.
Mrs. Lu said after a long time, "Doctor, you mean …"
"Of course, this is the worst-case scenario. Nowadays, medical technology is very advanced. Mr. Lu still has a chance to stand up."
William's appropriate comfort made Mrs. Lu breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, Ye Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief.
Being disabled was good. It was much better than being a normal person doing all kinds of evil.
Old Master Lu nodded after hearing the situation. He got up. "I understand. Thank you for your hard work, doctor."
William smiled and shook Old Master Lu's hand. "It's what I should do."
With that said, the crowd made a path for William and the nurse to leave. Ye Zhen also hurriedly moved to the side.
"Ye Qing, come here quickly!" Mrs. Lu caught a glimpse of Ye Zhen in the crowd and eagerly waved at her.
In the past, Mrs. Lu didn't like Ye Zhen because she was timid, weak, and didn't have her own opinions. After marrying into the Lu Family, Lu Beichuan had never woken up. Now, it was different. Ye Zhen not only chased Ye Zhen out of the Lu Family, but Lu Beichuan had also woken up!
To Mrs. Lu, this was simply a double blessing. Now, looking at Ye Zhen, she no longer felt that she was timid, weak, and didn't have her own opinions. That was because she was honest, loyal, and blessed!
Old Master Lu also smiled and said, "That fortune-teller was really accurate. He said that as long as Beichuan marries you, he will definitely wake up within a month. Isn't that right? Today … just happens to be the first month since Ye Qing married into the Lu Family! "
Mrs. Lu pulled Ye Zhen's hand and gestured for Ye Zhen to sit on the bed. Her words were full of joy. "Qing Qing is our family's baby! Beichuan, don't blame us for getting you engaged without your permission. You have to know that you were in a vegetative state a month ago. Which pure and innocent girl would dare to marry you? But Qing Qing is willing! "
Ye Zhen braced herself and sat on the bed. She lowered her head and eyebrows and obediently allowed Mrs. Lu to pull her and praise her.
"Also, when you were unconscious, Qing Qing was the one taking care of you. Every day, she would sit by the bed and massage you for the entire day. My heart ached just looking at her. Even Dr. William said that it was a miracle that you could wake up so quickly. In my opinion, Qing Qing took most of the credit. In the future, you have to treat her well. If you dare to bully her …" Mrs. Lu pretended to be angry and said, "Don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Mrs. Lu patted the back of Ye Zhen's hand and said with a smile, "Qing Qing, if Beichuan dares to bully you in the future, just tell me. Granny will make the decision for you!"
Ye Zhen smiled and didn't say anything.
Lu Beichuan leaned against the headboard and looked at Ye Zhen, who had her head lowered. From his angle, he could only see Ye Zhen's fair and slender neck. Her neck extended down to her smooth and sunken collarbone. That was a mesmerizing curve.
Lu Beichuan didn't say anything for a long time. After a long time, he narrowed his eyes and spat out a word from his throat. "Mm."
It was a tacit acknowledgment of Ye Zhen's existence.
Mrs. Lu was completely relieved.
She knew that her son had his own ideas and thoughts. No one could force him to do something he didn't want to do. But once he decided on something, no one could force him to change it.
"Since you're awake, we'll hold a make-up wedding for Qing Qing when you're feeling better. Let Qing Qing marry into the Lu Family and become Lu Beichuan's wife."
Old Master Lu said from the side, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you as his mother. Beichuan just woke up, so let him rest. Let's all go."
"Okay, then this matter is settled." As he said this, he patted Ye Zhen's hand again. His words and gaze were meaningful. "You stay here and accompany Beichuan."
If Mrs. Lu didn't like Ye Zhen even a little bit, she definitely wouldn't let her stay here.
Ye Zhen smiled bitterly in her heart, but she could only agree verbally.
Old Master Lu and Mrs. Lu left, and the people in the room left one after another.
Ye Zhen stood on the edge of the bed. Facing the man who had shared the bed with her for a month, she felt extremely awkward.
This kind of face-to-face interaction would completely expose her. If she had the chance to leave the Lu Family in the future, the Lu Family would be suspicious if they found Ye Qing again. She was afraid that in the end, it would be difficult for her to escape the identity of the villain's wife and she would end up with a bad ending.
She didn't say anything. Lu Beichuan didn't say anything either. He looked at her meaningfully.
Under his gaze, Ye Zhen took a long time to calm herself down. She raised her head and looked at Lu Beichuan.
"Actually, at the beginning, it was Grandpa … it was Old Master Lu who wanted me to marry you on the condition of saving the Family Ye business. If you have any objections to this marriage, you can tell me directly. We can dissolve our relationship as husband and wife. We'll have nothing to do with each other in the future."
If it could be resolved in one conversation, it would be best. It would save time and effort.
"We'll have nothing to do with each other in the future?" Lu Beichuan looked at her solemnly and showed her both of his wrists. The two marks that hadn't completely disappeared were actually not that obvious, but in Ye Zhen's eyes, they were extremely glaring.
"So my wife is someone with a special fetish?"
“？”
Shouldn't he not only dislike her, but also hate her? Why didn't he agree to her request and dissolve their marriage?
Ye Zhen didn't understand. Since Lu Beichuan didn't like Ye Zhen in the novel, why did he continue to let her stay in the Lu Family as Mrs. Lu?
She thought about it carefully … It seemed like it was because Ye Zhen was pregnant and gave birth to Lu Beichuan's child?
So as long as she didn't sleep with Lu Beichuan and didn't get pregnant with Lu Beichuan's child, when Ye Qing came back and Lu Beichuan fell in love with Ye Qing, she could just give up her position.
What's more …
Ye Zhen's gaze darted back and forth between Lu Beichuan's waist.
William had said that Lu Beichuan's legs and waist were seriously injured. In that case, did he still have that function?
