Chapter 143 The couple, one testing and the other concealing, their cunning takes flight.

Xia Yuhuan had no idea that Chi Yanzhou had thought of so much in such a short time.

After listening to Chi Yanzhou's words, she took his pulse.

Judging from his pulse, Chi Yanzhou's health is fine.

The body is weak and unable to control itself. It is not a sequela of poisoning. It is simply that the person has been in a coma for a long time and has just woken up. The body needs a recovery process.

Moreover, according to her original estimate, Chi Yanzhou wouldn't wake up until tomorrow at the earliest.

But he's surprisingly strong; he woke up today, so it's normal for his body to have a stronger reaction.

"Don't worry, it's just a normal physical reaction. It will be fine once your body recovers."

"However, you've been lying down for too long. After you wake up, you'll need a period of rehabilitation before you can fully recover."

"Rehabilitation training will be quite painful, so you'll have to be patient."

"Don't worry, I have no problem with that," Chi Yanzhou replied immediately.

Unless there is a fundamental health problem that is completely irreversible, he will never refrain from doing anything that can be achieved through hard work, just because he is afraid of the hardship.

He also believed that as long as he did it, he would definitely be able to do it.

"Hmm." Xia Yuhuan responded, then couldn't help but ask him, "So, when exactly did you regain your senses and become able to hear voices from the outside world?"

She wanted to know just how far she had gone in selling herself, and whether there was any chance of salvaging the situation.

Chi Yanzhou was a very clever man; upon hearing this, he immediately understood.

Why is it that after Xia Yuhuan saved him from the spread of the poison, she stopped talking to him and ignored him?

It turned out that his wife knew he was conscious and could hear the outside world, so she felt embarrassed and didn't dare to talk to him.

After all, his wife had a secret, and it was the kind that couldn't be told to anyone.

Thinking of this, Chi Yanzhou thought of Chi Zhenghao.

Thinking of Chi Zhenghao's covetousness towards Xia Yuhuan, a hint of hostility flashed through Chi Yanzhou's heart.

His wife is beautiful and capable; she's a girl who combines beauty and talent, so it's normal for her to attract admirers.

He can accept anyone having feelings of affection or covetousness for his wife; after all, beautiful things always attract people's unconscious yearning and pursuit.

However, he simply could not accept Ji Jung-ho's covetousness towards his wife.

After all, he's Chi Zhenghao's older brother, and his wife is his sister-in-law. This kid dares to covet his sister-in-law; I'll break his legs when he gets back!

Chi Yanzhou's mind was racing, but he said on the surface, "I don't remember the specifics, but it happened after you married into the family."

"Although I regained my senses, my lucid moments were very limited and intermittent."

"Occasionally, when you are awake while you are talking, I can hear a few words, but most of the time, you are still in a coma."

Chi Yanzhou knew that he absolutely could not tell the truth at this moment.

If his wife knew that he had regained his senses before she married him and was like a normal person, with full consciousness most of the day and able to hear outside sounds, she would definitely be furious and wary of him.

If he tries to win back his wife later, it will be extremely difficult.

So you absolutely must not tell the truth at this time!

Xia Yuhuan felt a little relieved upon hearing this.

If Chi Yanzhou's awakening state is so unstable, then he definitely won't be able to hear everything she said.

So, could she interpret it as meaning that her panties were still intact and that she hadn't taken them off herself?

Although Xia Yuhuan held onto this hope, she didn't dare to relax her guard in the slightest.

She tentatively smiled and said, "I see. No wonder you accepted my presence so well after you woke up. It seems you already knew you had a wife like me while you were unconscious?"

"Yes, thank you so much for taking care of me during this time, my wife. You even gave me massages every day. If it weren't for you saving me, I don't know when I would have woken up."

Chi Yanzhou said in a serious tone, "Wife, I'm willing to repay your life-saving grace with my body. Don't worry, I'll listen to you for the rest of my life, and we'll live a good life together."

Xia Yuhuan: No, she was just casually testing the waters, how did it suddenly escalate to the topic of 'living a good life'?

Moreover, doesn't he know too much?

Is he really only occasionally lucid and spends most of his time in a coma?

For a moment, Xia Yuhuan began to have doubts.

She asked calmly, "So what did you hear while you were unconscious? I get the feeling you know quite a lot."

"That's all I know. I know you were forced to marry me in place of someone else, I know you're skilled in medicine, I know you've been taking care of me all this time, and I know you're the one who cured me."

"By the way, I also know that your biological father treated you badly. How is he now? Is he still bullying you?"

"Don't be afraid. I was unconscious before and couldn't protect you. Now that I'm awake, I'll back you up and make sure he won't dare to bully you." Chi Yanzhou said seriously.

Xia Yuhuan felt somewhat relieved to see that he didn't even know about her severing ties with Xia Jianyong.

It seems that what he said—that he was mostly unconscious and only partially conscious—is true.

She had complained about Xia Jianyong a lot in front of him, but he didn't even know that she and Xia Jianyong had broken off their marriage, which shows that his time in the waking-up period was indeed very limited.

The reason he knows so much about her is probably because the things she does for him—massaging him, treating him, and taking care of him—are so commonplace and integrated into his daily life.

Even if he doesn't find her once or twice when he wakes up, he'll eventually figure it out after a while.

“I’ve broken off all ties with him, we have nothing to do with each other now, and he can’t bully me anymore,” Xia Yuhuan said.

Chi Yanzhou was certainly aware of this as well.

But he dared not show it at all.

Stay calm, don't give anything away, and don't scare your wife away!

Chi Yanzhou thought for a moment, then looked surprised: "What? You broke off your marriage? When did this happen? How come I had no idea?"

“I actually told you that before. Maybe you were unconscious when it happened and didn’t hear me,” Xia Yuhuan said.

The two chatted for a few more minutes when Xia Yuhuan heard a noise coming from downstairs.

“It must be Mom and Dad who are back. I’ll go tell them the good news that you’ve woken up,” Xia Yuhuan said immediately.

Although Chi Yanzhou wanted to spend more time with her, he knew how much his parents had suffered during his coma, so he didn't stop them.

After all, he and Xia Yuhuan are already married, and they have a lifetime to spend together. There's no need to rush things.

When Xia Yuhuan came downstairs, Zhang Xianya and the others had just brought the groceries they bought into the kitchen.

Seeing her come down, Zhang Xianya said, "Xiao Huan, go sit in the living room and eat some fruit. We can handle the kitchen; we don't need you."

Xia Yuhuan smiled upon hearing this and said, "Mom, I didn't come down here to take your work away from you. I came down here to tell you some good news."

"What good news?" Zhang Xianya asked, surprised.

"Chi Yanzhou is awake!"

Zhang Xianya dropped what she was holding, and everyone else stared at Xia Yuhuan in disbelief.

Didn't they say it would be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow if it was the earliest? Why did you wake up today?

This is completely unconventional!
