The Crazy Son-In-Law

“You’re not planning to just eat snacks for dinner, right?” Xiao Shun asked casually.

“Yeah, if you’re worried about us, you can stay and cook for us.” Tang Shishi put down the snacks and looked at him as she spoke.

“You can order takeout.” Xiao Shun said.

Tang Shishi pursed her lips and said, “Alright, hurry back to accompany Yao. I’ll take good care of Linger.”

With Tang Shishi here, at least he didn’t have to worry about Song Linger going hungry. After a few more words, Xiao Shun left the yard and headed back to Pearl International.

On the way, he received a call from Ding Yue.

“Mr. Xiao, the Yao Group share transfer is done. I need you to sign it. I’ll bring it over tomorrow. Where should we meet?” Ding Yue knew he was injured and planned to deliver the documents for him to sign.

Xiao Shun thought for a moment. “I’ll drop by the company tomorrow.”

“Won’t it be difficult for you to get around now? I can just deliver it to your home instead.” Ding Yue said.

“No need. I’ve been cooped up at home for days. I want to get out and walk around, clear my head.” Xiao Shun replied.

“Oh, alright then.”

When he returned home, dinner was already prepared. Seeing Xiao Shun’s gradual recovery, Liu Yunxiang held her tongue.

But with him bedridden for days, she still worried. Intentional or not, she would prod during meals.

Xiao Shun took no offense. Liu Yunxiang had always been this way. They had been through far worse. Her lukewarm words were nothing now.

Plus, he knew his body would fully recover in a few days. Then he could shut her up.

With Xiao Shun’s limited mobility, going upstairs was difficult. Having Duan Jia live here to care for him was clearly inappropriate. And it would be too taxing for someone Yao Jianguo’s age to carry Xiao Shun upstairs. So they cleared out a room on the first floor for Xiao Shun to use as a bedroom temporarily.

To better care for him, Yao Cen naturally stayed with him in the same room. Even going to the bathroom was difficult for him now. He needed Yao Cen’s help getting onto the toilet.

After dinner, as usual, Yao Jianguo and Liu Yunxiang went out for a walk to aid digestion.

Xiao Shun and Yao Cen stayed home. With nothing to do, the two sat in the living room watching TV.

Xiao Shun seldom watched TV, but was quite absorbed now.

He suddenly recalled discussing the Harrow branch plant with Yao Cen before. “Like this, I probably can’t move for a while. Let’s push back the Harrow branch plant for now until I recover more.”

“Rare of you to remember this. No worries. I already sent a department manager to contact Harrow’s investment promotion department. Our branch plant there can create job opportunities and contribute tax revenue for them. Along with our earlier 2 billion donation, they speak highly of our company and said they will strongly support us, prioritizing assistance so we can quickly obtain land for the plant.”

“So don’t worry, focus on recovering.” Yao Cen said while peeling an apple for him.

“That’s good then.” Xiao Shun smiled and replied.

He would definitely go to Harrow. The Oakland Old School Society was his first target.

“Dear, I need to use the bathroom…”

Always troubling Yao Cen to help him to the bathroom made him feel a bit embarrassed. But his current condition left him no choice. He would hold it until he couldn’t any longer before speaking up.

“Wait a bit. Let me finish peeling this apple first.” Yao Cen glanced at him and said.

“Can’t hold it.”

“You’re like a child, saying you can’t hold it just because.”

Yao Cen helplessly put down the half-peeled apple and pushed his wheelchair to the bathroom entrance. She then supported him on her shoulder, preparing to get him onto the toilet.

Luckily it was summer and he wore shorts, making it convenient.

She suddenly noticed a whiff of body odor, recalling Xiao Shun hadn’t bathed at home since leaving the hospital. Yet she didn’t notice any smell on him these days. Did Duan Jia bathe him at the yard?

An image instantly flashed in her mind of the two men…

But the truth is, I’m the one failing as a wife, Yao Cen thought.

“How have you been bathing these days?” She still curiously asked.

“Not a full bath. Just had Duan Jia wipe me down with a wet towel. What’s wrong? Do I smell?” Xiao Shun said with a smile.

It was summer and he sweat all over each time he cultivated energy. Without wiping down, he probably would have reeked long ago.

“A little. Why don’t I… draw you a bath later to wash up?” Yao Cen’s face grew hot.

Using the toilet was one thing, but a bath meant being fully naked. Xiao Shun couldn’t move easily now, so she would have to help. Despite sharing a bed for some time, it was still embarrassing.

“You’ll bathe me?”

Xiao Shun looked at her in surprise.

Honestly, though he often felt restless in bed, being completely bare before Yao Cen still made him shy. He was but a virgin after all.

“I… need to think about it.” He swallowed and mumbled.

“What’s there to think about? It’s just a bath. I’m your wife.”

Hearing his reluctance, Yao Cen immediately grew displeased.

So this jerk would rather a man wipe him down than let this beauty bathe him? What am I then!

“Tell me honestly, have you been craving my body for long?” Xiao Shun looked at her solemnly and questioned.

“Biting Lu Dongbin when bitten by a dog, your crippled body is gold-plated. I’ve coveted it for long, looking to make it mine. Is that enough, milord?” Yao Cen impatiently replied.

“Keep sassing me and I won’t care if you wet yourself.”

“Alas, no filial children at a sickbed.” Xiao Shun lamented.

Yao Cen: “…”

I really want to kick this bastard to death!

Around 9 pm, Liu Yunxiang and Yao Jianguo returned and headed upstairs after washing up.

Yao Cen prepared the bathtub and clothes. Then she pushed Xiao Shun’s wheelchair into the bathroom.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Despite mentally preparing herself, it was still embarrassing when the moment arrived. She pushed Xiao Shun to the tub and the two fell silent, each occupied with thoughts.

“Why don’t we just forget it?”

Xiao Shun looked back at her and said. He actually felt very awkward too.

“Forget what? It’s just a bath. I’m your wife.” Yao Cen gritted her teeth and said.

Then she carefully removed his T-shirt, walked in front of him and squatted down, preparing to take off his shorts.

She immediately blushed, feeling her face burn hotly as her heart pounded wildly.

Xiao Shun slowly placed his hands over his crotch, watching her cautiously with an expression like he was about to be violated.
