The shock wasn’t only at the identity of the Xiao Jinyan that she mentioned, but also at the fact that she was the Crown Princess.

Lin Xian looked at the woman in front of him. He found her very beautiful the first time he saw her, and she was comfortable to be around, but he hadn’t expected her to be the Crown Princess.

She didn’t have any of the airs of a Crown Princess, although she was delicate, it wasn’t off-putting.

Shen Chuwei thought about the afternoon when he said he had something to do, and as someone with amnesia, she was very curious about what he wanted to do.

"You said today that you had something you wanted to do, what do you plan to do after your leg is healed?"

Lin Xian came back to his senses from the shock. He glanced at Shen Chuwei and then turned his wheelchair away from her, his voice ice cold, "It’s none of your business."

Shen Chuwei moved in front of him, her hands on the armrests of the wheelchair, and said indignantly, "How is it none of my business? Do you plan to abandon me once your leg is better?"

Lin Xian looked at the woman in front of him who looked so wronged she was almost crying, and found it difficult to speak harshly to her.

But he couldn’t soften his heart.

The consequences of softening were more severe.

"Get out."

Shen Chuwei felt that Xiao Jinyan should secretly be glad that she had a good temper, otherwise if she were someone with a shorter fuse, she’d really want to grab a hammer and knock some sense into him. How dare he tell his wife to leave?

"I still need to give you acupuncture, are you sure you want me to leave?"

Lin Xian froze at her words. He looked down at his leg – no matter how angry he was, he couldn’t let that affect his leg. Once it was better, he would go wherever he wanted, and then he would not have to live in such close quarters with her.

Yet, due to his pride, Lin Xian couldn’t bring himself to ask her to stay and give him acupuncture.

Seeing that he did not respond, Shen Chuwei could only shake her head helplessly, turn around, and pick up the medicine box.

Lin Xian hastily turned back to catch a glimpse of Shen Chuwei, and seeing that she was getting the medicine box instead of leaving, he withdrew his gaze and helped himself up with the wheelchair, slowly moving to the bed.

When Shen Chuwei returned with the medicine box, she saw him sitting on the bed, his trouser legs rolled up to his knees, exposing knees wrapped in gauze, looking uncommonly well-behaved.

The premise was to ignore the proud expression on his face.

Was this what it looked like when a stubborn person finally started to play nice?

Even if Xiao Jinyan wanted her gone, she wouldn’t leave. His leg had already been neglected for too long and could not be neglected any further.

Shen Chuwei didn’t tease him; after setting down the medicine box, she opened it, took out the necessary medicines and tools, and after unwrapping the gauze, she began to expertly give him acupuncture.

The acupuncture process was long and dull.

Lin Xian’s gaze was initially elsewhere, but unconsciously, it shifted to the person in front of him, to her expression when giving him acupuncture, serious and quiet.

The scene in front of him suddenly overlapped with a certain scene deep in his memory.

"Brother Jinyan, it won’t hurt after the ointment is applied."

The soft, sweet voice of the little girl emerged in his mind alongside the overlapped scene.

Wave after wave of headache assaulted him, as if a pair of hands were desperately tearing at him, his head feeling as if it might explode with the pain.

Lin Xian only felt an excruciating headache, as if something would burst out of his skull the next second.

Shen Chuwei did not notice the change in Xiao Jinyan’s condition; as she bandaged him, she said, "In a couple of days, we should test to see how well you’ve recovered.

If there’s still a stinging sensation, you’ll need another half month of treatment.

If there’s no stinging, you’ll be able to move freely within half a month. "

After she finished the bandaging, Shen Chuwei looked up at Xiao Jinyan and noticed his pale complexion, sweat dripping down his forehead, and his handsome face twisted in pain.

"What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?" she asked anxiously, standing up to check his pulse, but he grasped her wrist and during the pull, they both fell onto the bed.

Not sure what her mouth had hit, Shen Chuwei winced in pain, thinking that if the impact had been any harder, her teeth might have been knocked out.

She winced as she rubbed her mouth and saw the man beneath her, whom she had accidentally pinned down. Ignoring her own pain, she quickly propped herself up, afraid that she might have hurt the already sick man.

"Are you alright?"

After asking, she realized her question was senseless—the man’s complexion was somewhat pale, his eyebrows furrowed in pain, and his narrow phoenix eyes were staring at her intently, as if trying to see through her.

Shen Chuwei, fearful that the man might have an accident and not forgetting that he was injured, was about to get up from the bed when the man grabbed her arm and wouldn’t let her go.

She looked down at the man beneath her, puzzled, "What’s wrong?"

Lin Xian held on to her hand tightly, fearing that if he let go, she might leave.

"Don’t leave."
