~6 min read 1,126 words

"boss, already found out."

"Su Xīwēi's grandmother Li Xiu Fen is now at the Su Family."

"However, there is something..."

"Yan Moci frowned, 'Speak directly.'"

"\"boss, the current eldest daughter-in-law of the Yan Family is not the Su Family's eldest daughter Su Xīwēi. \""

"But rather.... Su Qingming's illegitimate daughter, Su Xīyán. She grew up in the countryside with Li Xiu Fen from a young age."

"\"The Su Family took on the Yan Family's Ding Rong Haoting project worth ten billion, yet they still dare to deceive the old master, playing this kind of substitute marriage farce with audacious boldness! \""

"Dongzi, who was reporting, said angrily."

"Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Yan Moci not only did not get angry, but actually smiled with interest,"

"\"Su Xīyán, heh, so your name is Su Xīyán. \""

"Su Xīwēi is indeed not your name. »"

"Dongzi puzzled, 'Boss, aren't you angry?'"

"\"What to be angry about? \""

"\"Those people actually dared to find a village girl to impersonate and take the place of the Yan Family's eldest son, who is called the heavenly son of Jingcheng, as the eldest daughter-in-law! \""

"Yan Moci said sternly: 'Dongzi, that is my wife.'"

"Dongzi was taken aback, 'Boss, you mean...'"

"Yan Moci smiled, as intoxicating as cold pine trees, not answering but asking back: 'How old is she?'"

"Dongzi cautiously asked: 'Are you referring to the eldest daughter-in-law? Miss Xīyán is just 20 this year.'"

"\"Only 20, indeed still a child. \" Yan Moci murmured in a low voice."

"Beside him, Dongzi,... Is 20 still considered a child? If anyone out there dared say that to him, he'd punch them directly."

"\"Within a day, I want to obtain all information about Su Xīyán's life, from birth onward, no detail too small. \""

"\"Also remember, from now on address her as madam, go now. \""

"Yan Moci's voice was three parts icy, four parts chilly, yet because of Su Xīyán it gained two parts of warmth."

"\"Yes! \""

"\"Heh, Su Xīyán, Yan Yan, little girl. \" Silently chanting Su Xīyán's name, Yan Moci gave a soundless low laugh."

"Yan Moci suddenly frowned: 'But how should I tell her that her grandmother is at the Su Family?'"

"\"Yan Moci, it's treatment time again! \" Su Xīyán's voice suddenly sounded, Yan Moci quickly got into bed pretending to be a vegetable."

"\"Eh, I just saw someone leave your room, is that your subordinate? \" Su Xīyán strangely asked Yan Moci, naturally not waiting for a reply."

"Su Xīyán nodded, 'Mm, he really is your subordinate. Even as a vegetable he still has to handle company matters. You really aren't easy.'"

"Yan Moci:....????"

"Although I can't pinpoint what's wrong, it feels like everything is off."

"Su Xīyán began to give Yan Moci acupuncture; according to the changes in his pulse over the past two days, his condition has greatly improved."

"Not only have many toxins been expelled, but after massage the muscle condition has also greatly improved; believing that once he wakes up, as long as he actively cooperates with rehabilitation, he will fully recover in no time."

"\"Su-sub ah, today let's check your recovery status. \""

"\"Don't be nervous, a moment later I will lightly tap you with the hammer. \""

"\"Of course, if you really can't bear it, shouting out is also okay~\""

"Having witnessed Su Xīyán's strength, Yan Moci felt that her notion of 'lightly' might essentially differ from normal 'lightly'."

"\"Boom! \""

"Mmm...."

"Yan Moci's muffled groan was just a point away from slipping out of his throat; after forcibly suppressing it, his whole body trembled uncontrollably."

"Su Xīyán!"

"What exactly did she do back in her hometown!"

"How can a woman have such great strength!"

"Su Xīyán looked at Yan Moci, smiling narrowly, as he gritted his teeth enduring the pain, veins bulging on his forehead, yet he still had to keep his eyes closed pretending to sleep."

"She regrettably shook her head, 'Ah, why go through all this?'"

"But, the next second,"

"She raised the small hammer again, her motion swift and devoid of sympathy."

"\"Boom! \""

"Another one."

"Yan Moci felt he might today meet his end under Su Xīyán's hammer!"

"He now has good reason to suspect that Su Xīyán may have discovered he was pretending to sleep, and all she is doing now is to tease him!"

"If she dares to strike him with the hammer again, he will absolutely not forgive her!"

"Yan Moci's whole body was tense to the extreme, any slight movement detectable; he had even already planned how, after opening his eyes, he would harshly punish this disobedient girl."

"But unexpectedly, the next hammer strike, Su Xīyán merely lightly tapped his calf muscle."

"Su Xīyán's gentle and soft voice reached his ears: 'Yan Moci, do you feel anything in your leg?'"

"Su Xīyán's words left him stunned on the spot,"

"Indeed, because the previous two hammer strikes had focused his mind, Su Xīyán's final strike made his senses exceptionally sensitive."

"He could clearly feel the vibration in his calf muscle when the hammer fell."

"He could also feel the violent throbbing of his heart that followed."

"\"Boom, boom, boom\""

It was so fast that his consciousness momentarily blanked.

It was clearly just such a sentence, yet it suddenly made his heart feel a bit sour.

He had indeed lain in bed for far too long, so that when he just woke up he even experienced a brief spacetime disorientation.

But at this moment, Su Xiyan suddenly burst into his life headlong, giving him no time to adjust before swiftly beginning a new life.

And now, it is precisely this girl, she tells him,

His legs can move, and his poison will soon be completely cleared.

He, is about to become a normal person.

Yan Moci could not conceal his emotions, nor did he wish to control them; if he could, he wanted to now embrace Su Xiyan in his arms.

But, one step ahead of his thought,

Yan Moci felt a surge of gentle touch pour into his embrace.

"Great, Yan Moci."

Hearing Su Xiyan's whisper in his ear, Yan Moci's heart was like a drop of water dropped in, instantly sending ripples.

"Su Xiyan, your grandmother is in the Su Family."】

Yan Moci hadn't spoken in a long time; his voice was low and hoarse, like rubbing old parchment, intoxicating.

Upon hearing these words, Su Xiyan incredulously lifted her head.

But, to her surprise, Yan Moci did not wake up.

But regarding the information revealed by Yan Moci's brief sentence, Su Xiyan was both doubtful and deeply moved,

He had already seen through her identity as a substitute bride,

But he did not expose her, and even helped her investigate her grandmother's whereabouts!

Having understood, Su Xiyan instantly approached Yan Moci with a smile like blooming flowers.
