Chapter 35: Him and the Qu Family

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The atmosphere in the Qu family villa was tense and solemn.

No one had expected Shang Yan to come in the middle of the night and just happen to see Mr. Qu beating Qu Xiao.

Shang Yan’s eyes were filled with anger as he stared at Mr. Qu. The aura around him was so strong that it was frightening. Qu Xiao could not help but twist her fingers.

Mr. Qu’s facial muscles trembled as he explained, “CEO Shang, Xiao Xiao is not sensible. She acted like a fool in public. I only wanted to scare her.”

Shang Yan sneered as he looked at the ruler in his hand. “This ruler looks like it has been used before?”

He remembered that there were two shallow scars on Qu Xiaoxiao’s waist. Shang Yan had once thought about where they came from.

Seeing Mr. Qu’s actions today, Shang Yan looked at Qu Xiao with a look of heartache.

He gently held Qu Xiao’s knuckles to comfort her.

Qu Xiao was touched, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She turned her hand around and rubbed his palm.

Qu Qi glared at them with jealousy and resentment. Back when Qu Xiao just married Shang Yan, everyone thought that her life would be so difficult since he was disabled. However, it seemed that Qu Xiao was even more free and happy than she was before.

Qu Qi took two steps forward and pointed at Qu Xiao, “She’s deliberately pretending to be weak in front of you. She pushed me at the banquet and everyone saw it. They can all testify for me!” Qu Qi wanted to instigate the relationship between her and Shang Yan.

Shang Yan’s eyes did not waver at all. Instead, he coldly swept his gaze across everyone in the Qu family.

His thin lips parted slightly as he said, “Qu Xiao is my wife. No matter what she does outside, I will take responsibility for it.”

“If you have evidence, you can come to the Shang Group building at any time to discuss compensation matters with my lawyer, or you can go to court to sue...”

“No one in the Qu family has the right to lay a finger on her. On the day she married me, her relationship with this family ended! If I see such a scene like today happen again, I won’t show you any mercy.”

Shang Yan stomped on the ground, taking revenge for Qu Xiao.

Qu Xiao pushed Shang Yan out of the house in a particularly carefree manner.

Li followed behind them, looking back at the dumbfounded Qu family members and shaking his head.

In the business car, Shang Yan lowered the partition. He looked at the bruise on Qu Xiao’s wrist and asked with a frown, “Does it hurt?”

Qu Xiao slowly turned her wrist and raised the smile on her lips. She replied in a relaxed tone, “It’s just a superficial wound. It just looks scary.”

The two of them were silent. The streetlights outside the car window flickered, and the car drove off.

Qu Xiao’s eyes turned slightly. She took the initiative to place her fingers on Shang Yan’s palms one by one and interlocked them tightly with his ten fingers. Then, she gently leaned her head on Shang Yan’s shoulder and smelled the fragrance on his body. Qu Xiao closed her eyes and mumbled, “Thank you for today.”

“You don’t know how handsome you looked to me just now!”

Qu Xiao was not stingy with her praise. Shang Yan felt helpless against her coquettishness. The questions in his mouth dissipated because of this.

...

In the bedroom, Qu Xiao changed into a long nightgown and slowly moved to the side of the bed.

She sat on the edge of the bed with her back facing Shang Yan. She slowly lifted her legs and crawled under the blanket. Her movements were extremely strange.

Shang Yan noticed that something was wrong. He closed the book that he was flipping through, and placed it on the headboard of the bed. He grabbed Qu Xiao’s elbow and lifted the blanket. Sure enough, he saw that there were obvious bruises and swelling on her knees. Shang Yan touched her slightly with his hand, and Qu Xiao could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. She furrowed her brows tightly.

Shang Yan wanted to take his wheelchair to get the medicine box, but Qu Xiao quickly stopped him and hopped to the front of the wardrobe.

She carried the box and handed it to Shang Yan. She was as obedient as a child who had made a mistake. Pursing her red lips, she bent her knees and sat on the bed.

Shang Yan gently rubbed the medicine on for her. Qu Xiao felt his warm fingertips brush against her skin, and her body trembled slightly.

He raised his head and looked at Qu Xiao with some panic in his eyes. “Does it hurt very much?”

Qu Xiao bit her lips tightly and mumbled, “It’s a little itchy.”

Shang Yan looked at her pink cheeks and earlobes. At this moment, he felt very close to her. His posture, as if he was hugging Qu Xiao in his arms, caused the atmosphere in the bedroom to become very hot abruptly. He turned his head with a dry throat, “Will my actions toward the Qu family today make things difficult for you?”

Qu Xiao did not react at first. She realized that Shang Yan was trying to probe her to see who was more important to her, him or the Qu family.
