So sweet! She's pampered like a precious gem in her little world.

Even after Chu Yu becomes human, she retains some of the physical characteristics of a cat.

For example—loves to sleep.

Perhaps it was the lingering scent of Shang Xuzhi on her pillow and blankets that made her feel at ease and addicted.

I woke up the next afternoon.

The blackout curtains in the room completely blocked out the light, and a warm yellow wall lamp was lit not far away.

By the light of the wall lamp, she saw that the clock on the bedside table showed 13:14.

It must be said that Shang Xuzhi's quality of life is indeed top-notch.

She loved these beddings when she was making cat-themed items.

It's an absolute pleasure to touch and feel this with human skin!

No wonder she slept for so long!

Chu Yu snuggled comfortably against the soft pillow.

How come she remembered that Shang Xuzhi's pillow wasn't usually this soft?

Is it her imagination?

do not care.

It would be a shame not to roll around in such a comfortable bed a few more times.

So when Shang Xuzhi opened the door, he saw a quilt rolling around on his bed.

Shang Xuzhi: "..."

He looked at the quilted bed with amusement and maneuvered his wheelchair toward the bed.

"Be good?"

As a result, the little blanket seemed to be frightened and couldn't stop itself, rolling straight towards the edge of the bed.

Shang Xuzhi's heart tightened, and without hesitation, he rushed over and caught the tumbling blanket.

His legs were too weak to support his body, and his knees hit the ground with a dull thud.

"Boom-"

Ignoring the throbbing pain in his legs,

Shang Xuzhi nervously peeled away the blanket to rescue the child trapped inside.

"How is Xiaobao? Did he fall and hurt himself?"

Chu Yu had been cooped up in bed for a while, and her fair cheeks were flushed with a light pink, while her dark, shiny hair was a little messy.

She was still somewhat dazed when the man freed her from the tightly wrapped blankets.

She blinked slowly, her dark eyes, shimmering with light, looking at the man holding her.

Realizing their posture, and combined with the muffled thud they had just heard, they realized...

Chu Yu asked worriedly, "How's your leg? Call the doctor to take a look right away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man, whose brows had been furrowed, suddenly relaxed and smiled.

He raised his hand to carefully tidy up the messy stray hairs on the girl's forehead, and then cupped her face in his hands.

Her voice was as low and gentle as ever: "Is Xiaobao worried about me?"

Chu Yu: "..."

Is now the time to talk about this?

She shifted her body, trying to get out of bed.

Sensing her intention, Shang Xuzhi gently comforted her, "Slow down, don't rush, I'll help you."

With the man's help, she quickly freed herself from the blankets.

The first thing I did after coming out was to take the blanket from his arms and throw it back onto the bed, then squat down in front of him and carefully pull up his trouser legs.

Shang Xuzhi's brow twitched as he watched the little girl's movements, and he quickly grabbed her slender wrist.

He asked in a deep voice, "What does Xiao Bao want to do?"

Chu Yu's mind was still filled with the heavy thud she had just heard, and her voice was urgent: "Did you hurt yourself? Let me see!"

The girl's originally sweet and soft voice was now tinged with sobs due to worry.

Shang Xuzhi didn't want her to see his legs, where the scars from the car accident still remained.

Ugly and terrifying.

That was his sad yet ridiculous past.

It is a painful memory that he does not want to reveal to others.

If you were to ask who you most want to keep quiet about,

That must be the girl right in front of him, the one he cherishes most.

Shang Xuzhi twitched his wrist slightly, and gently stroked her hand in a comforting manner.

The lingering pain in his leg reminded him that he had fully regained sensation in his leg.

In fact, his leg injury was originally capable of full recovery, and Dr. An, who was in charge of the treatment, had been giving him medication.

However, he was unable to overcome his mental block and was unwilling to cooperate with rehabilitation therapy.

Looking at the little girl squatting in front of him with eyes full of concern, Shang Xuzhi's heart skipped a beat for no reason. He slightly raised his long eyelashes to cover the almost morbid obsession in his eyes.

He made his decision almost without hesitation.

He reached out and touched the top of Chu Yu's head, his voice gentle and low: "It's okay, Xiao Bao. Can you go and call Butler Chen over for me?"

Chu Yu knew she probably couldn't be of much help, so she nodded and got up to run out to look for the person.

She didn't know that there was an emergency call bell by Shang Xuzhi's bedside, specifically for dealing with such emergencies.

Even men's cell phones have a one-click calling function.

These can all be used to call for rescue as quickly as possible.

Sending Chu Yu out to find people was the slowest method, but it was also a little selfish of his.

He didn't want her to see him in such a disheveled state.

For the first time, he was so eager to cure his leg ailment.

He wants to return to a normal life and wants to be able to better protect his little girl.

After Chu Yu left, Shang Xuzhi braced himself against the edge of the bed and nimbly and skillfully sat back in his wheelchair.

When she rushed back to the bedroom with her entourage, she saw the man sitting comfortably in his wheelchair, showing no trace of his previous vulnerable and disheveled state.

Chu Yu had regained her composure by now and stood obediently beside the man.

Butler Chen, however, panicked.

You should know that in the five years since his injury, Second Master has never experienced an accident like today.

"Second Master, Dr. An will be here soon. Shall I take you to the medical room first?"

Shang Xuzhi's manor is very large. In addition to the main building area where he usually lives, there is also the forest and lake scenic area where Chu Yu just came from.

There is also a guest area near the main gate, but since Shangxu prefers quiet, no guests usually come to visit or stay overnight.

Therefore, the guesthouse was occupied by Steward Chen and some servants.

His personal physician, An Chen, also resides in a detached villa in the guest area, so that he can regularly conduct check-ups and treatments for Shang Xuzhi, as well as deal with some unpredictable emergencies.

After learning about the situation, Butler Chen immediately notified Dr. An. It only takes about ten minutes to drive from the entrance to the main building.

Shang Xuzhi nodded, then turned to look at the well-behaved baby standing silently beside him.

Chu Yu lowered her head slightly, playing with her fingers by herself.

"Can Xiaobao play here by himself for a while?"

The man's tone was calm and gentle, and you could not tell that he was experiencing intense pain.

"Can't I come along?"

Chu Yu knew in her heart that the leg injury was the most unbearable and deep-seated problem for Shang Xuzhi.

It was understandable that he refused to let her accompany him.

Even though he had been granting her every request these past few days, practically doting on her like a precious gem in his heart.

She didn't take these things for granted and assume that men should do anything for her.

Mastering the boundaries and appropriate limits in interpersonal relationships was the first and most important lesson she learned when she was navigating the entertainment industry.

She knew the answer when Shang Xuzhi didn't reply.

She wasn't exactly disappointed, but rather lowered her eyelashes slightly and whispered, "I'll wait for you to come back here."

Without even looking at the man's expression, she turned and prepared to walk into the house.

Her wrist was suddenly gripped by a strong, powerful hand. After a moment of dizziness, she was half-lying on the man's lap, held tightly in his arms.
