Chapter 1603: A Little Awkward

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Mother Shen was afraid that Yang Ming would have other thoughts. After all, her previous words could be misconstrued as not approving of Yang Ming’s visit.

Therefore, she immediately started explaining as she was afraid that Yang Ming would misunderstand. Of course, Yang Ming would not misunderstand. Yang Ming was obviously clear about Mother Shen’s attitude. She just desired her daughter’s future happiness.

If Shen Yuxi’s legs were not disabled, then even if Mother Shen was aiming for his family’s background, there was no need for her to allow her daughter to seduce him this way. After all, Yang Ming already had a girlfriend. Mother Shen knew about this matter.

However, Mother Shen’s attitude made it clear that she wanted her daughter to seduce Yang Ming. This was because she knew about how lonely and terrifying it was for Shen Yuxi to be bedridden without anyone to rely on.

My daughter is still young, so the situation is not that bleak. But what about when I am old? When her father and I are old, what should we do when we can’t take care of her? Will the three of us be waiting for death in the room?

Hence, Mother Shen had to plan for the long-term. She started welcoming Yang Ming eagerly. She wanted the relationship between Yang Ming and her daughter to be taken to a new level.

Of course, Yang Ming would not despise her mother’s selfishness. It was just human nature. Yang Ming could understand her parental feelings.

“Hehe, of course not, Aunty Shen. I can see that you always welcome me,” Yang Ming smiled and explained to Mother Shen.

“Yeah, yeah!” Mother Shen nodded her head rapidly. “I want you to come here everyday! But, Mr. Yang, you must be busy with a lot of things to handle. How is it possible for you to come here every day? I am already very happy if you can come here at least once to twice a month.”

“Ah, aunty. It’s better that you call me Yang Ming. I have mentioned this many times. Don’t call me Chairman Yang or Mr. Yang. I find it uncomfortable.” Yang Ming felt helpless. He had to remind the people around him multiple times about how he would like to be called.

“How is that appropriate? You are the head of Little Xi’s company…” said Mother Shen quickly.

“Then, if you call me that again, I won’t come next time.” Yang Ming really found it awkward. He and Shen Yuxi were the same age. If Mother Shen addressed him as Mr. Yang or Chairman Yang, then nobody would know about that fact.

“Well, then I will just call you Yang Ming…” Mother Shen immediately changed how she addressed Yang Ming once she heard his words.

Actually, she also wanted to be closer to Yang Ming. However, she was afraid to do so. Since Yang Ming had asked her to address him this way, there should be no problem.

“Auntie, is Yuxi still here?” Yang Ming changed the subject as he was unable to cope with Mother Shen’s enthusiasm.

“Yes, yes. She is still in her room. You can go and look for her yourself,” said Mother Shen.

“Auntie, the reason I came back so soon is because I have contacted a well-known doctor of Traditional Chinese medicine who is highly skilled in acupuncture and moxibustion [1]. He might be able to improve Yuxi’s condition, so I want to take her to him. Is that okay?” Yang Ming had to seek Mother Shen’s approval before doing so.

Why would Mother Shen think otherwise? She was extremely happy when she saw Yang Ming handling her daughter’s matters meticulously. “Of course, it’s okay. Thank you so much, Yang Ming!”

“Auntie, you are too polite.” Yang Ming smiled. “I should be helping you with this matter. Okay, I will go in to see Yuxi and tell her about this.”

“Okay, sure.” Mother Shen nodded rapidly.

Yang Ming turned around and walked to Shen Yuxi’s room. He initially wanted to push open the door and just enter the room straightaway. However, it was a bit inconvenient to do so as it was a girl’s room. Hence, Yang Ming knocked on the door.

“Come in…” Naturally, Shen Yuxi did not expect Yang Ming to return here after leaving. She thought that it was her mother. What happened to my mother today. Why did she knock on the door before entering the room? However, she still responded.

Yang Ming opened the door and entered the room once he heard Shen Yuxi’s voice. But, after entering the room, he was immediately stunned when he looked at Shen Yuxi… Shen Yuxi was not wearing anything on her lower part. Her legs were placed on the quilt, and were exposed…

Shen Yuxi was dumbfounded when she saw that the person entering the room was Yang Ming. She did not expect that Yang Ming would return so soon after leaving her house. Initially, she thought that it was her mother. Hence, she was not in the least bit concerned…

Her legs could not move. Naturally, Shen Yuxi did not want her legs to be left still on the bed for a long time and suffer bedsores. Hence, she would put her legs outside every day to catch the sunlight… However, she did not expect… At this moment, she had forgotten to scream out in surprise. She could not tuck her legs back in as she could not move her legs. She was at a loss while staring at Yang Ming stupidly.

Actually, Mother Shen knew that Shen Yuxi had this habit every afternoon. But, when she knew that Yang Ming was the visitor, she was so happy that she did not remind Shen Yuxi. There was no harm done since the ambiguous feelings between Yang Ming and her daughter would increase. Mother Shen definitely would not allow some other guy to break into her daughter’s room like this.

“Ugh… sorry. I’ll go out… ” Yang Ming suddenly felt awkward… Although he could easily see these sorts of things with his special abilities, he never used it for this purpose. Hence his blood still boiled as he did not see such things frequently.

Although Yang Ming did not see clearly, this type of hazy feeling increased his heartbeat…

Shen Yuxi only started to react at this time. She quickly grabbed a towel and covered her lower body. Her face was blushing in embarrassment, “You don’t have to go out…I…I…I am just afraid that my legs would suffer from bedsores so I expose it to sunlight every day.”

“You don’t need to explain. It was my fault.” Yang Ming smiled bitterly. “Sorry, Yuxi.”

Although Shen Yuxi looked like this now, she was still a pure young girl. Yang Ming felt somewhat guilty for seeing her like this.

“It’s nothing, really…” Shen Yuxi did not really care about being seen by Yang Ming. She was a little embarrassed. If Yang Ming was interested in her, she would only be happier.

So, when Yang Ming became embarrassed after seeing her, Shen Yuxi was secretly a little delighted…

“Well, let’s not talk about this…” Yang Ming was embarrassed and changed the topic. “Yuxi, I come back to look for you to tell you that my godfather helped me contact a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine who is highly proficient in acupuncture and moxibustion. His method of practice might be effective on your legs.”

“Really?” Shen Yuxi had already lost hope for her legs. But, when she heard Yang Ming say this, she started to become a little hopeful. “Yang Ming, are you saying that my leg can be healed?”

“It is hard to predict if you will be able to stand up again. However, my godfather said that person is an expert in the field of acupuncture and moxibustion. So, I think that it should be at least possible to restore your sensation…” Yang Ming would not dare to make any guarantee. Naturally, he would not talk with full confidence. Doing so would only make Shen Yuxi feel greater disappointment if her expectations were not met. However, he could not say that there was no hope at all. That, on the other hand, would diminish Shen Yuxi’s confidence in the treatment.

Hence, Yang Ming just said that it should be possible to restore sensation to her legs. This would give Shen Yuxi confidence and make her look forward to it.
