“I just want to say thank you!” Though I was annoyed by his words, I still showed my gratitude to him for sending the doctor in time.
For fear that he would embarrass me again, I didn’t argue with him.
Nobody would want to catch a cold, but I knew I was to blame for my carelessness this time.
When I was in a trance, his laughter rang in my ear. I looked up and instantly saw his mocking eyes.
“Take the medicine. The dosage is indicated on the instruction.” With that, he threw me a bag of medicine.
I was so surprised that I looked at him in a daze for a good while.
Did he do this out of concern for me?
The next second, I denied my own assumption. Such things would never happen!
Quan Shaoze seemed to have figured out what was on my mind, so he continued in an indifferent tone, “Don’t try to play for time. I won’t put off your wedding this time.”
Even he himself didn’t realise the coldness in his eyes seemed a little deliberate. Though I had captured it, I didn’t dare think it over, so I only nodded obediently.
Since I had finally come around, it was no longer that hard for me to accept the fact that I would marry a dead man.
However, I hadn’t divorced Zhao Dong yet.
I told Quan Shaoze about this with a frown and asked him if he wanted me to go back to discuss the divorce with Zhao Dong.
To be frank, without a bodyguard, I dared not return home alone.
However, before he could answer me, my phone rang. When I saw it was Zhao Dong’s number, I hesitated for a while before I finally pressed the answer key.
“Feng, where are you now? Let’s find somewhere to have a chat!”
Ever since I went back home recently, Zhao Dong had never called me ‘Darling’ like before, which made me feel a little lost.
Before he could finish his words, I hung up with a sneer.
“A chat? I’d call it brainwashing.” I thought.
“You two haven’t divorced yet?” Quan Shaoze looked at me with his brows knitted.
With the fear that he would ask me to negotiate with Zhao Dong, I nodded nervously.
At the thought of being locked up by Zhao Dong and Xiao Yue a few days ago, I was more than reluctant to go back alone.
However, Quan Shaoze told me that no matter I had divorced or not, I had to marry Quan Jinnian in three days.
The indifferent look on his face reminded me of what he looked like when I first met him.
Although I was surprised that there were only three days left, I didn’t protest as I used to.
As long as my baby was with me, I could bear any grievance.
Before, whenever Quan Shaoze forced me to marry his dead brother, I would be too upset to sleep, but this time, things were different. As I had a great appetite and slept soundly, I felt like two days had passed in a flash.
Quan Shaoze didn’t come to my room in the following days. I seldom saw him, and even if we occasionally met outside of my room, he wouldn’t even look at me, like I was invisible.
If it wasn’t because I was certain that I hadn’t done anything wrong, I would have thought that he was mad at me again.
I felt that he wasn’t even a little relaxed because of my compliance, instead, the look in his eyes turned even grimmer.
I guessed he might be in a bad mood at the thought of his brother.
At noon a day before my wedding to Quan Jinnian, Zhao Dong called me again. I was so upset that I immediately hung up.
After this went on for a few times, he asked Xiao Yue to call me, but I still refused to answer the call, feeling more disgusted with them.
I didn’t expect that they would be so persistent and impatient on this matter.
Finally, I switched my cell phone off. After spending the whole afternoon absent-mindedly, I took a shower and was about to go to bed when Quan Shaoze, who hadn’t said a word for a few days, came to me.
“The wedding ceremony will be held tomorrow night. Get everything ready, and no more tricks!”
Obviously, he didn’t think that I would go through with the wedding obediently, so he particularly came to remind me.
Looking at his indifferent face, I nodded helplessly without saying a word. After watching him leave, I threw myself on the bed.
