Chapter 28: Leg Treatment

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Li Yan didn’t express his suspicion. He knew that she definitely wouldn’t tell him, so he decided to investigate it himself.

Time passed by slowly. After some time, Li Yan felt a sharp pain in his leg.

The pain wasn’t intense. It was like what a person who suddenly stood up after squatting for a long time would experience. However, for a person who hadn’t felt the existence of his legs for many years, it was a great surprise.

Li Yan lowered his eyes and stared at his legs. He subconsciously tightened his grip on the wheelchair.

After a while, the stabbing pain slowly disappeared. What followed was a warm breath flowing through his blood.

When Chu Luo announced that “the curse on you has been lifted,” Li Yan’s gaze finally lost its usual coldness. There was even a hint of undetectable excitement in the depths of his eyes.

With both hands on the armrest of the wheelchair, he suddenly stood up.

“Hey! Don’t… Ah…”

Chu Luo instinctively wanted to pull him back as he fell forward.

When she pulled him back, she realized that he was not only much taller than her but was also as heavy as a mountain.

They were about to fall.

An arm suddenly wrapped around her waist. Both of them turned around and fell onto the bed at the same time.

Dong!

Chu Luo’s forehead hit his hard chest heavily, and tears nearly flowed from her eyes.

She rolled to the side, stood up, and covered her forehead with her hand as she placed blame on him. “Your bones are so hard.”

Li Yan looked into her big, watery eyes and frowned slightly. His eyes flickered before he finally lowered his head and said, “Sorry.”

Chu Luo was a little surprised, but thinking that he had already apologized, she didn’t pursue the matter. She said, “I said that your legs won’t be able to adapt to walking in the short term. Why didn’t you listen to me and suddenly stood up?”

She asked him, “Can you get up?”

“Mm.” Li Yan propped himself up on the bed and shifted onto the wheelchair.

The two of them didn’t continue talking about this matter. Chu Luo pushed him out.

At this moment, there were several of Li Yan’s subordinates standing in the living room. On the sofa sat a young man who was carving rapidly with his head lowered.

The young man had soft facial features and a gentle temperament.

When Chu Luo and Li Yan came out, he didn’t notice.

Qin Ming, who was standing at the side, said to Li Yan, “Master, half of the jade pendant has been carved.”

Chu Luo glanced at the jade pendant in the young man’s hand and asked, “There’s a phoenix inside the jade pendant. Can he carve it?”

Unexpectedly, the young man looked up and said, “Yes.”

After saying that, he lowered his head and continued carving.

Chu Luo walked over curiously to look at his carving. Even though he had only carved half of it, there was already half of the Phoenix Totem inside.

She looked at it for a moment, then praised, “You’re amazing.”

After saying that, she stood beside him and looked at him.

The young man was a little surprised. “You like carving too?”

“Yes.” As long as it was something she didn’t know, she was interested in learning about it.

The young man looked at her again. “I can teach you,” he said.

“Sure.”

Just like that, Chu Luo stood beside the young man and watched him carve jade while listening to his explanation. The two of them directly ignored everyone else in the living room.

At this moment, Qin Ming walked over to Li Yan’s wheelchair and respectfully asked, “Master, shall I push you somewhere you could rest?”

Li Yan suddenly shot him a cold glare.

A chill ran down Qin Ming’s spine as he quickly stood to the side.

In his heart, he was wondering why his young master was unhappy.
