In a foreign manor, Allen slowly stood up holding the handle of his wheelchair, but after taking a few steps, he fell directly to the ground. Xu Nuo stood aside and watched him like this. He was shocked and wanted to step forward to help him up, but was given a vicious look by Allen, and Xu Nuo froze in place.
Allen struggled to stand up from the ground, but his legs didn’t obey him at all. After trying for a long time, he was covered in sweat and suffered from heart breaking pain in his legs. Xu Nuo lowered his eyes, not daring to look at him, but there was something in his eyes. But it was all heartache.
Peter came in from outside, saw Allen, and shook his head helplessly, “Allen, I’ve told you a long time ago that you can only take your time at this stage. If you continue like this, your legs will be ruined for the rest of your life. Don’t ever think about standing up.”
Allen looked at Xu Nuo with a sinister expression, and said coldly, “Get out.”
A hint of sadness flashed across Xu Nuo’s eyes, and he exited the room and closed the door. Peter shook his head, “Allen, if you continue to be so disobedient, there is really nothing I can do.”
Allen was silent for a while, then said in a hoarse voice, “I know. But before six months, I have to stand up.”
“If you are willing to listen to me, and cooperate with my treatment then I can help you stand up, but can you tell me why you are so anxious?”
“This is not your business.” Allen said indifferently, reaching out his hand, “Help me get up.”
Peter stepped forward and helped Allen to sit down in the wheelchair. He handed him a clean towel and asked him to wipe the sweat on his face. Then he squatted down and rubbed his legs. The force was not gentle, and Allen was in pain. The blue veins on his forehead stood out, “You knew you couldn’t do it, but you still did it. It’s not you who is suffering now.”
Allen didn’t speak, and Peter continued to mutter, “If you continue to make noise, I will have someone cut off your tongue.”
Peter shut up. He didn’t take this man’s words as a joke. He was a madman who could do anything.
“Go and lie down on the bed, and I’ll give you the acupuncture.” He said and helped Allen to the bed.
Soon, the room remembered Allen’s muffled groan, occasionally mixed with a few painful roars.
After the acupuncture was completed, Peter packed up his things and left. Allen was lying on the sweat-soaked sheets, silently waiting for the pain in his legs to pass. Come on, come on, Xiao Qi, We will meet soon.
In the capital city, Shen Junyu raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman in front of him, “Why are you here?”
The woman smiled slightly, “I came to you specially, Junyu, we haven’t seen each other for so many years, do you mind having a meal together at noon?”
Shen Junyu shrugged, “Of course I don’t mind.” He stood up and took his suit jacket, “Let’s go.”
The woman followed Shen Junyu and looked at the man in front of her with fascination, ‘Shen Junyu, I’m back, this time I will never give up on you again.’
“Chen Su, I didn’t expect you to come back to China.” In the restaurant, Shen Junyu glanced at the woman in front of him and spoke warmly.
Chen Su smiled and said, “I’m tired of staying abroad, and the most important people are here, of course I want to come back.”
Shen Junyu did not answer this, but asked, “What are you going to do when you return to China this time?”
“I just got in touch with a company, if nothing else happens, I will stay here to work.”
Shen Junyu nodded, “Very good.”
Chen Su wanted to ask Shen Junyu how he was doing these years, but she still hesitated to ask, “We haven’t seen each other for many years. You must be married, right?”
Chen Su asked indifferently, but the hand holding the knife and fork tightened. Shen Junyu swallowed the steak in his mouth, “Not yet.”
Chen Su relaxed his hands. With strength, she forked a piece of steak and put it into her mouth, with a gentle smile on her lips, “Men usually focus on their careers, and it is normal to get married late. In fact, I am single now.”
“Have you been back home?” Shen Junyu did not answer the question. He changed the topic again. Chen Su looked a little sad, “I have already gone back. My parents asked me about you.”
“Shen Junyu, why are you here?” Wen Xiyao’s voice came from above her head. Shen Junyu looked up and smiled, “Xiyao, you are eating here too.” After saying that, he glanced at the person following her, who was her assistant.
Wen Xiyao’s eyes glanced over Chen Su’s body, then quickly pulled back, understanding instantly, and smiled softly, “Well, I originally wanted to have lunch with you at noon, but you are busy with work these days, and I’m afraid of delaying your work by looking for you. Is this your client?”
Chen Su heard something wrong from Shen Junyu’s name to Wen Xiyao. Looking at the familiar tone of the two people, her face was slightly unnatural. Hearing what Wen Xiyao said, she smiled and said, “I’m not Junyu’s client, I’m his friend. We met in college. My name is Chen Su.”
Junyu? Wen Xiyao raised her eyebrows and glanced at Shen Junyu, whose expression remained unchanged, “That’s a coincidence. I’m also Junyu’s friend. My name is Wen Xiyao. Now that we’ve met, do you mind eating together?”
Wen Xiyao seemed to be asking for Chen Su’s opinion, but she had already sat down, sitting next to Shen Junyu, “The steak here is very good. I wanted to eat it with you last time, but I never had the chance. Now it’s just right.”
Wen Xiyao’s assistant had already left with a wink.
Shen Junyu looked at her tenderly, “Just call me anytime you want to eat. No matter how important work is, it’s not as important as you.”
Wen Xiyao couldn’t help but reach out and touch his arm under the table. Shen Junyu was really like this. Chen Su was not used to it, but when Chen Su heard this, her face became even more unnatural, and she twitched the corner of her mouth, “Miss Wen is very familiar with Junyu.”
Wen Xiyao smiled, “Of course, Junyu and I know each other. It didn’t take long, but we were able to chat very well. What do you say Junyu?”
Shen Junyu nodded cooperatively, and took a forkful of the steak in his bowl and handed it to Wen Xiyao’s mouth, “This steak is good. I’ve wanted to eat it for a long time, try it.”
Wen Xiyao opened her mouth and bit into the steak, “It’s really delicious. Let’s eat it together next time?”
“Okay, it’s up to you.” Shen Junyu smiled fondly.
Chen Su couldn’t eat anymore, so she put down her knife and fork, “Junyu, I remembered that I have something to do later, so I’ll leave first.”
Shen Junyu smiled, “Okay, be careful on the road.”
After Chen Su left the restaurant , Wen Xiyao stood up and sat opposite Shen Junyu, looking at Shen Junyu with interest, “I didn’t expect that you can see such a good show just by going out for a meal. Mr. Shen, it seems that you have a lot of love.”
Shen Junyu put away the doting in his eyes and smiled gently, “That can’t last as long as Ms. Wen’s peach blossoms.”
Wen Xiyao snorted coldly and looked at him inquiringly, “That young lady just now looked pretty good. Yes, why did you refuse and not give each other a chance? Maybe this is your destiny.”
Shen Junyu took a sip of red wine and said, “I see that Mr. Du is also deeply in love with Ms. Wen, and he doesn’t see Wen either. It’s always exciting.”
“Mr. Shen, it’s boring for you to be like this. I’m just curious. You always poke people’s pain like this, is it good? What’s more, I just acted with you in a play and helped you get rid of a rotten peach blossom. Burning bridges after crossing it. This is not what a gentleman does.”
Shen Junyu smiled apologetically, “Then it’s my fault for saying that, and please forgive me, Ms. Wen.”
Shen Junyu apologized in detail, but Wen Xiyao couldn’t say anything, “But you’re not young anymore, and you’ve reached the age of marriage. Why don’t you get a girlfriend?”
Other men at Shen Junyu’s age, with his appearance and financial strength, who was not full of rumoured girlfriends, but Shen Junyu’s side was really very clean, not to mention peach blossoms, not even a single peach leaf appeared.
Shen Junyu smiled and said, “Mr. Wen is single, too. There are so many people who don’t want to get married now. Not everyone likes to get married so early.”
This was true, the reason was reasonable, but Wen Xiyao was not interested in Shen Junyu’s private life. Still very curious, he looked at Shen Junyu up and down with his big eyes.
Shen Junyu looked calm and turned a blind eye to her gaze, “Mr. Wen, do you have something to say?”
Wen Xiyao glanced around, glanced in Shen Junyu’s direction, and asked in a low voice, “Mr. Shen, you are so fond of cleanliness, isn’t there a problem in some aspects?”
Shen Junyu’s face turned dark, believing that any man would not be able to bear being questioned about his incompetence in that aspect. He glanced at Wen Xiyao lightly, “Ms. Wen is very curious?”
Wen Xiyao said coquettishly, “It’s not that I’m very curious, I’m just a little bit curious.” She stretched out her hand and made a small gesture.
Shen Junyu chuckled, “If Ms. Wen is curious, you might as well try to see if I can do it.”
She thought that these words would scare Wen Xiyao away, but she said instead, “Okay, let’s try it.”
Shen Junyu happened to take a sip of wine at this time, and he suddenly coughed violently when he heard this. Wen Xiyao couldn’t help but frown, was he so easy to tease?
After he stopped coughing, Shen Junyu looked at Wen Xiyao and said, “Ms. Wen, your joke is not funny at all.”
Wen Xiyao suddenly turned serious and looked at him steadily, “Shen Junyu, I am serious. You want to date me?”
Shen Junyu raised his eyebrows, looked at her serious eyebrows, and put away the joking on his face, “Are you kidding?”
“It’s not a joke, I really want to date you seriously, with marriage as the objective. You see, we are not young anymore. My family is also worried about my marriage, not to mention your family. I think I am not bad in appearance, have a good personality, and am not weak in ability. My family background is also not unworthy of you. Generally speaking, our match is very good in all aspects, so do you want to consider dating me?”
