Chapter 250

Could it be that both of them have already eaten?

Zhang Tezhu did not dare to speak; he looked toward Qiao Muting.

Seeing the confusion on Shu Xia's face, the gloom that had just covered Qiao Muting's heart instantly dissipated, "I wasn't hungry just now."

Seeing this, Zhang Tezhu hurriedly picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

He also said repeatedly, "I wasn't hungry just now either, but now I'm just right for it."

He had rushed to the airport early and hadn't even had time to eat lunch; in fact, he was really hungry!!

These dishes were all things he liked to eat; just now, watching Shu Xia eat, he was so greedy he was almost drooling, okay?

While eating, Shu Xia said to Qiao Muting, "I know you two must have quite a few things to be busy with here. I made a plan last night; you two go ahead with your business, and I'll arrange my own itinerary."

Qiao Muting's thin lips pressed slightly, and his gaze also turned somber, "You want to go out on your own?"

"Yes, you two go ahead and be busy. If you aren't busy, we can hang out together. Besides, you must be tired of all the tourist attractions in K City, right? Since it's my first time in K City, I definitely have to visit the scenic spots and take some photos. It's better not to waste your time," Shu Xia explained in a natural tone.

Qiao Muting's brows were cold and heavy, and just as he was about to speak, his phone suddenly received a call.

Not knowing what the person on the other end of the phone said, Qiao Muting's expression became even more profound, "Wait at the hospital, I'll be there soon."

The hospital?

Shu Xia's expression paused.

"I have some matters to attend to and will leave first. After the meal, let Zhang Tezhu take you to the hotel. Wait for my call tomorrow."

After Qiao Muting finished speaking, he walked out with long strides.

The meat in Zhang Tezhu's mouth hadn't even been swallowed yet. The atmosphere just now hadn't seemed to have any problems, but being in the middle of it, he just felt that something was not quite right.

The atmosphere between the boss and Shu Xia before hadn't been like that just now.

Just now, it was really... a tension that couldn't be described.

He picked up his cup and took a few gulps of tea.

Shu Xia sensed Zhang Tezhu's nervousness. She smiled inwardly; her relationship with Qiao Muting hadn't reached the point of questioning his private affairs. Even if the two were very intimate in bed, it didn't mean he had her in his heart.

So, Zhang Tezhu's current nervousness should be because he was afraid she would question him about what Qiao Muting was going to the hospital for, right?

She wasn't that tactless.

Asking would only cause the relationship between the two to fall into an awkward state.

"I'm full, take your time eating," Shu Xia put down her chopsticks and rubbed her stomach.

She had been too unrestrained with this meal and had eaten too much. After she arrived at the hotel and dropped off her luggage, she would go out for a walk.

"Miss Shu, aren't you curious why Qiao is going to the hospital?" Zhang Tezhu couldn't help but ask.

Shu Xia shook her head and said, "Not curious. Once in K City, he naturally has things he needs to do."

Seeing that Shu Xia answered very casually, with no sign of curiosity between her brows, Zhang Tezhu could now be completely certain that Shu Xia was truly not curious about the boss's whereabouts!

But she was the boss's wife; the boss was called away by a single phone call, and she didn't have any reaction at all?

——

Jing City, hospital.

Chen Xiuyue woke up at noon that day.

After waking up, she didn't quite realize what had happened.

It wasn't until evening, when Lin Guanda and the children came to see her, that she realized something.

"My legs... my legs can't move..."

Her hands could move, and her arms could move, but her lower body had no sensation at all. The scene of the car accident flashed in her mind; her legs had been crushed!

"Wife, you still have me and the children. It's already not easy that you survived this car accident," Lin Guanda sighed.

"That's right, Mom, we will be your legs from now on," Lin Qi said hurriedly.

Lin Xu's eyes turned red, "Mom will be able to be discharged from the hospital soon."

Chen Xiuyue didn't take in what they were saying. The huge blow of losing her legs made it impossible for her to remain calm, "No, I cannot become a disabled person. I cannot be without my legs. You all hurry and let the doctor think of a way!"
