Disliked by everyone? She is clearly the most beloved one in the rich family!

No matter how embarrassed or annoyed he was, since they had already obtained the marriage certificate, Yu Zhi was not so naive as to think that Meng Yingnian would only sleep with him.

From the moment he agreed to this marriage, Yu Zhi became aware of the matter.

He has been consciously giving himself psychological hints these past two days: it's just sex, we are all adults, it's no big deal, just treat it as a life experience.

Besides, he is a beta, and the alpha cannot mark him, unlike the omega, who will become dependent on the alpha's pheromones after being marked.

Yu Zhi took some clean clothes from the suitcase and went to take a shower first.

He procrastinated and delayed for almost an hour. The heat from the bathroom made Yu Zhi dizzy, and the skin on his fingertips was wrinkled from the water.

You have to face it.

Can't escape.

Yu Zhi looked at himself in the mirror, patted his face which was red from the heat, sighed heavily, and opened the bathroom door like a hero ready to die.

However, there was no one in the bedroom.

He looked the same before and after the shower as he did before. The suitcase that was open and blocking the door was still there.

Yu Zhi walked over, closed the suitcase, moved it to the side, and looked around the bedroom but couldn't find Meng Yingnian.

What about people?

Yu Zhi walked through the living room, from the corridor to the dining room, but still didn't see anyone.

Just as Yu Zhi was about to go back to his room to blow dry his hair, he heard Meng Yingnian's voice coming from the room at the end of the corridor.

Yu Zhi walked towards the sound.

The door of the room was ajar, blown half open by the wind, and the people inside didn't notice it.

Yu Zhi stood at the door and saw Meng Yingnian half lying on the bed, with his left trouser leg rolled up above the knee and placed flat on the bed.

The skin color of his left leg was a sickly white, and a dark red scar extended from the kneecap to the ankle, like a rift that had been split open abruptly. Yu Zhi gasped at the sight.

These past two days, seeing that Meng Yingnian was walking, sitting, and lying down normally, Yu Zhi had forgotten about it. Yu Jia had mentioned that Meng Yingnian had been in a car accident and had a leg injury.

There was a middle-aged man beside Meng Yingnian's bed, giving him an injection on his left leg.

The man pinched the needle and twisted it gently on the acupuncture point. Meng Yingnian's grip on the bed sheet gradually tightened, veins popped out on the back of his hand, his lips were tightly pursed, his face turned pale, and fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he never said a word.

"Secretary Chen told me everything that happened today. Second Young Master, you really don't take care of your body. You know best how difficult it was to save your leg..."

"Yu Ning."

The doctor's chatter was interrupted by Meng Yingnian's cold voice.

Yu Ning sighed, not daring to say anything more, and continued to give the acupuncture quietly.

Meng Yingnian raised his eyes and noticed Yu Zhi at the door. He suddenly loosened his hand and was stunned for a few seconds.

Another shot.

Meng Yingnian frowned in pain and clutched the bed sheet again.

After Yu Ning finished the last injection, he packed up the medical kit and put it aside for the time being. He said to Meng Yingnian, "Second Young Master, please take a rest. I'll be back in half an hour."

Meng Yingnian said "hmm".

Yu Ning turned and left, and met Yu Zhi at the door. She respectfully called him "Second Young Master's Madam."

Yu Zhi replied to him awkwardly, "Hello."

The next second, Meng Yingnian called Yu Zhi from the room: "It's hot outside, come in."

Yu Zhi entered the house and closed the door to prevent the cold air from escaping.

Meng Yingnian actually wanted to cover his legs with a quilt, but unfortunately, there were more than a dozen stitches on his legs and he couldn't cover them. He couldn't move his legs either, so he could only let his scars be exposed in front of Yu Zhi.

Yu Zhi intentionally controlled his gaze from falling on Meng Yingnian's left leg. He rubbed his trouser leg with his hand and explained uncomfortably: "Well, I took a shower and found that you were not there, so I came out to look for you. I didn't know you were..."

Meng Yingnian reached out and patted the empty seat beside him: "Sit down and talk."

Yu Zhi sat down as he was told, placed his hands on his legs, and sat upright, inexplicably looking like a child who had made a mistake.

Meng Yingnian laughed: "Don't be so reserved, I don't blame you."

Yu Zhi stammered, "Why aren't you getting acupuncture in the master bedroom?"

"I was afraid of scaring you." After a pause, Meng Yingnian added, "It was also my selfish motive."

Yu Zhi was puzzled: "Is it selfishness?"

Meng Yingnian looked at his left leg, his eyes revealing a hint of complicated emotions.

"I thought I wouldn't have the thought 'I wish I didn't have a disability.'"

"After the car accident, I always felt that even if I had a leg injury, fortunately I didn't lose my life. I'm still alive and I'm still myself. It doesn't matter."

Yu Zhi didn't know the circumstances of the car accident that year, but one person lost his life and another almost lost his leg. From the horrific scar, he could imagine how tragic the situation was.

Anyone who sees someone else suffering a disaster will feel bad.

Yu Zhi originally wanted to say something comforting, but then he thought that Meng Yingnian was probably proud, and proud people don't want to hear these things the most.

Besides, people around Meng Yingnian have probably said these words many times over the years, and they are tired of hearing them.

Yu Zhi swallowed the words back and said something more normal: "I'm not a child, why would I be so frightened?"

Meng Yingnian paused for a moment and chuckled, "I'm glad you didn't get scared."

Yu Zhi noticed the sweat on Meng Yingnian's forehead, stood up, and took out some toilet paper, handing it to him: "Wipe the sweat."

Meng Yingnian didn't answer, but just tilted his head and looked at him: "The doctor didn't allow me to move during acupuncture."

Yu Zhi's gaze fell from his face to his left leg, stayed there for a few seconds and then fell back to his face.

"Your hand isn't pierced with an needle." After saying that, Yu Zhi handed the toilet paper forward again.

Meng Yingnian still didn't answer and suddenly asked him.

"Hasn't the lady heard a word?"

"Who is your wife..." After mumbling, Yu Zhi couldn't resist his curiosity and asked, "What did you say?"

Meng Yingnian opened his thin lips and said slowly, "A single move can affect the entire body."

Yu Zhi: “…”

Okay, okay, let’s wait for him here, right?

Yu Zhi put the toilet paper on the bedside table and stopped serving.

"I'm leaving now. You can wipe it slowly by yourself."

As soon as he stood up, Meng Yingnian called him: "Yu Zhi."

Yu Zhi turned to look at him.

Meng Yingnian: "I'm thirsty and want to drink some water."

Yu Zhi: “…wait.”

Yu Zhi went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. After picking it up, he thought of Meng Yingnian's words "a single move can affect the entire body", and for some unknown reason he put it back, found a straw and inserted it into the cup, then picked it up and took it away.

"Drink it." Yu Zhi stood in front of Meng Yingnian's bed and handed him the cup of water.

Meng Yingnian looked at the straw in the cup and suddenly smiled.

Yu Zhi was confused: "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you for being so hard on the outside but so soft on the inside." Meng Yingnian took the water cup and held it himself, fiddling with the straw with his fingers. "You've got the straw ready. Are you planning on feeding me?"

Yu Zhi was embarrassed and annoyed: "You said it yourself——"

Meng Yingnian played dumb: "What did I say?"

never mind!

Yu Zhi knew he had been tricked and was embarrassed, so he turned around to leave. This time, Meng Yingnian was quick to grab him.

"Sit with me for a while, I won't tease you anymore."

Yu Zhi wanted to shake off his hand, but she was also concerned about his legs. She was really restrained by the saying "a single move can affect the entire body".

"Meng Yingnian, you are a liar."

Although he cursed, he didn't leave. Yu Zhi sat down reluctantly beside Meng Yingnian's bed.

Meng Yingnian leaned in to look at Yu Zhi's face and asked tentatively, "You don't actually hate me, do you?"

Yu Zhi snorted from his nose: "Who gave you the confidence? I just don't want to be on the same level as a patient. I don't want to be sympathetic, understand?"

Meng Yingnian lay back down and said slowly, "Then you're done."

Yu Zhi was puzzled: "What's over?"

Meng Yingnian raised his chin towards his left leg and said, "As you can see, my leg has been like this for the rest of my life. In a sense, I've always been a patient."

"Yu Zhi, you have to keep sympathizing with me."
