After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 56

An Jiuxi smiled and walked towards him. Her slender white wrist slipped under the man's armpit, and with a forceful lift, she lifted the man, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall and weighed about 150 kilograms, off the ground.

With a kick, the overturned wheelchair was righted, and the person was placed inside.

He withdrew his hand, preparing to leave.

Her wrist was grabbed, and a sudden force pulled her forward.

Caught off guard, An Jiuxi stumbled forward.

She quickly used her other hand to brace herself against the handrail, thus avoiding bumping directly into the man's arms.

The girl frowned, her tone not very friendly, "What are you doing?"

She slightly raised her clear eyes and met the man's dark and deep gaze.

The dissatisfaction in his eyes was clearly visible.

That scoundrel isn't trying to repay kindness with enmity, is he?

Jin Yize himself didn't know why he had grabbed her.

Even when our eyes met, my heart trembled uncontrollably. My heart pounded as if it were about to burst through the wall, like a drumbeat.

He blinked. "When will you release me from this captivity?"

It was clearly an excuse to cover up his embarrassment.

Fortunately, the girl didn't notice.

An Jiuxi frowned and shook off his hand, "Didn't I say, after you've recovered?"

"When was that?"

I know he's anxious. After all, anyone who suddenly becomes paralyzed and then learns there's a way to cure them would be eager to act immediately.

An Jiuxi expressed her understanding, so her tone was still relatively gentle, "Your body has suffered a lot of damage, it will take at least a month."

Jin Yize frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with the timing.

An Jiuxi looked at him amusedly, "You didn't think that I was just trying to provoke you by talking about the steps to break the curse, did you?"

Jin Yize raised an eyebrow: What else?

“Of course I’m telling the truth!” An Jiuxi said, then stood up listlessly. “I’m not some pervert who likes to look at patients naked.”

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Jin Yize from head to toe, "Besides, you've been paralyzed for five years, you're all skin and bones, there's nothing to see here."

Jin Yize: ......

The man's eyes were deep as he met her gaze.

Whether it's worth watching or not, she'll find out later.

An Jiuxi raised an eyebrow, feeling that his gaze was too deep, like an old fox scheming something.

However, upon closer inspection, it seems to be just a normal feeling of being upset about being questioned.

Could it be that she's overthinking things?

Chi Beimu arrived at dinner time.

She was accompanied by Chi Anruo.

Chi Beimu came to report on the haunted house to An Jiuxi, while Chi Anruo simply wanted to see Jin Yize and, incidentally, see if she could cause An Jiuxi any trouble.

Upon hearing the servant's report, An Jiuxi pushed Jin Yize downstairs.

The man was dressed in dark loungewear, which only accentuated his sickly pallor. His handsome features seemed to be covered by a layer of frost, and he exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.

However, Chi Anruo seemed oblivious, and ran up to him as soon as she saw him.

"Aze!" Chi Anruo glanced at An Jiuxi, then looked up in surprise. "Miss An, why are you pushing the wheelchair? Where is Huaisang?"

An Jiuxi: "I've given Lu Huaisang a holiday."

"A holiday?" Chi Anruo exclaimed in surprise, "How could you give Lu Huaisang a holiday without my permission? Do you know that he is Aze's personal bodyguard and right-hand man? Without him, who will guarantee Aze's safety? His life will be in chaos!"

Then, in a teasy tone, she said to Jin Yize, "Yize, don't blame Miss An. She hasn't been with the Jin family long and doesn't know yet. She probably just wants to spend more time with you; she doesn't mean anything else."

An Jiuxi wanted to laugh when she heard this.
