Chapter 14: Major Supplement

Qiao Yi slowly walked over and sat down next to Old Mr. Lu. The man she used to call Grandpa now had to be addressed as Father-in-law, a feeling that was really...

"This stinker, Yanchuan, I told him to take good care of you, and look what you've become. Wait until he comes down later; see if I don't give him a good talking-to!"

Ever since she was young, Qiao Yi was watched over as she grew up by Old Mr. Lu. He had liked this little girl from before, and now that she had become his own daughter-in-law, of course, he cherished her even more.

Qiao Xin had been sitting in the corner the whole time, clenching her fists in unwillingness and anger as she watched Qiao Yi, whose hand was intimately held by Old Mr. Lu.

The two slaps from Qiao Yi had thoroughly awoken her, and also gave Qiao Xin a way to put Qiao Yi to death!

As long as that night's incident was known to Lu Yanchuan, she wanted to see if he would still want a woman who had been played with!

It was a pity that she forgot to have someone gather evidence that evening!

Qiao Xin's eyes, filled with venom, were fixed on Qiao Yi. Qiao Yi noticed her gaze but didn't take it to heart.

Every weekend at noon, Old Mr. Lu would call the Lu Family back for a meal. Qiao Yi didn't know about this custom before, but today Old Mr. Lu explained it to her himself, and only then did she understand why Lu Yanchuan insisted on bringing her back.

Why couldn't Yanchuan explain such a simple matter properly? He had to make her unhappy!

The meal went by without any thrills. After eating, Qiao Xin was sent away by Lu Ming. Wang Zhen looked very unhappy but didn't say anything more in front of Old Mr. Lu.

Qiao Yi was kept behind by Old Mr. Lu under the pretext that she was too thin and needed nourishment, personally instructing the kitchen to stew a nutritious soup for her.

Looking at the bowl of thick chicken soup shimmering with oil, Qiao Yi felt that drinking this was asking for trouble. After she sweet-talked Old Mr. Lu into going out to play chess with old friends, she carried the soup bowl straight to the study and placed the bowl on Lu Yanchuan's desk.

"This is a nutritious soup personally ordered by Father. I can't finish it, so you can't disappoint Father's intention!"

Lu Yanchuan found Qiao Yi's commanding attitude amusing but didn't laugh. After admiring her for a moment, he took the bowl from the desk and drank it without another word.

Seeing Lu Yanchuan's action, Qiao Yi's eyes lit up. She seemed to have found a way to deal with the old gentleman!

"Father, Yiyi's health is fine; there's no need to keep nourishing her three meals a day."

That day, as Lu Yanchuan returned home, he smelled a familiar scent that instantly made his stomach uncomfortable.

Indeed, when he found Old Mr. Lu in the kitchen, he was directing the auntie to add goji berries and astragalus to the chicken soup.

Even good things, if consumed for three days straight, were enough to make one nauseated.

Moreover, Lu Yanchuan had a nosebleed all morning at the company today, which he really couldn't bear any longer.

Old Mr. Lu's eyes narrowed as he hustled Lu Yanchuan out.

"You're strong and healthy, you don't need to drink it. Look how thin Yiyi has become! If you don't nourish her properly now, how will she give me a big chubby grandson later?"

I don't know how to get a big chubby grandson, but if you keep drinking like this, your handsome son might be gone.

Lu Yanchuan's nose felt cold, as if something was flowing out of his nose again.

"Yo, why is there a nosebleed again? Is it because the air is too dry? Xiao Zhang, go turn on the humidifier!"

Leaning on the staircase, Qiao Yi almost burst into laughter watching the commotion below.

She was mindful of Old Mr. Lu's kindness towards her, but this kind of affection was a bit too enthusiastic for her to handle.

When Lu Yanchuan came upstairs, Qiao Yi had already regained her composure. She demurely smiled at Lu Yanchuan and then turned to head back to her own room.

Before Qiao Yi could run away, she was suddenly grabbed by the collar and pulled into Lu Yanchuan's room.

"What are you doing...mmph..."

The domineering and scorching kisses rained down like a deluge, Qiao Yi clutched Lu Yanchuan's shirt over his chest tightly, as if to push him away, yet as if to yearn for more.

"Let...let me go..."

Qiao Yi moaned softly, then quickly covered her mouth, not believing she could make such a sound.

"This is to punish you for messing around."

Lu Yanchuan gasped unsteadily, Qiao Yi could feel the burning heat emanating from his body, scorching her into a frenzy of panic.

Qiao Yi was held tightly, and it took a long time before Lu Yanchuan restrained himself and let her go.

"Get out."

"You..."

"If you want to continue, you can stay!"

Qiao Yi wrapped her arms around herself and ran out in a flurry, Lu Yanchuan irritably pulled open his collar and dove into the bathroom.

He is a normal man, drinking such tonic soups three times a day without a way to release the fire is bound to drive a person crazy!

Qiao Yi kept blushing all the way back to her own room.

Old Mr. Lu brought another bowl of soup. This time, he didn't see Lu Yanchuan and instead placed the soup on the table for Qiao Yi.

"Drink this soup well, and when you've recovered, you can give me a couple of grandkids while you're still young! With your foot still injured, you can't live with Yanchuan, so you better take your medicine and nurture your health!"

Old Mr. Lu prattled on, watching Qiao Yi drink the soup.

Qiao Yi really wanted to push the soup to Lu Yanchuan but, remembering his beast-like behavior just now, she felt a tremor in her heart, and decided it was better to obediently drink it herself.

She didn't know how much time had passed when Lu Yanchuan's room door finally opened, and he left for the hospital without eating, carrying a chill with him.

He looked so pained; it made Qiao Yi feel a twinge of guilt toward Lu Yanchuan for the first time.

Living in the Lu Family was quite nice except for occasionally dealing with Old Mr. Lu pushing them to have children, and a bunch of inexplicable herbal tonics; it could almost be called paradise.

Happy times are always fleeting, and in a blink of an eye, the day for Qiao Xin to be discharged from the hospital arrived.

Qiao Yi was reluctant to meet Qiao Xin but, thinking Zhao Wenjing and Qiao Benqing might grow suspicious, she went to the hospital anyway.

She didn't know how Qiao Xin managed it, but when Qiao Yi arrived at the hospital, she saw Lu Ming being extremely attentive, following her around, and carrying things for her.

"Sister, Ah Ming and I have discussed it, and we plan to move and live in the old house for a while. Only you are there to accompany Grandpa every day, and it's really too lonely."

Qiao Yi really wanted to laugh in her face; wasn't she herself the loneliest one in the old house? Old Mr. Lu had quite a few old friends, and every afternoon they would all disappear!

"Of course, that's great. Us sisters living together can take care of each other."

Qiao Yi agreed generously, even making a call in front of Zhao Wenjing and Qiao Benqing to arrange rooms for the two people at the old house.

After Qiao Yi hung up, she saw everyone looking at her and explained with a raised smiling face.

"Granddad doesn't pay much attention to these matters now, and since I am free anyway, helping him manage things is also a way of showing filial piety."
