At the same time Wang Cuiying fainted, Qin Quan'an also fell and was completely disoriented. After a while, he slowly got up and saw his mother with her eyes closed.

In such cold weather, Wang Cuiying was soaked to the bone. If she lay down in this environment any longer, she might die of hypothermia.

Qin Quan'an had a wicked thought of letting Wang Cuiying lie there, but after a moment's hesitation, he got up and carried her on his back.

He couldn't understand how his perfectly good bicycle could suddenly fall apart.

Back in his room, Qin Yi took a while to catch his breath, and Su Wan poured him a glass of water.

He took the water glass. "What did you do when you went out just now?"

Su Wan glanced at Qin Yi without surprise; as expected, nothing could be hidden from him.

She didn't try to hide anything and openly admitted, "I'll teach them a lesson." She glanced at the clock and estimated that it was about time.

Then, looking at Qin Yi, he smirked and said, "What, do you think I'm vicious?"

Qin Yi put down the water glass, pulled Su Wan over, and spoke softly.

"Wanwan, you can trust me and leave it to me."

Su Wan smiled but didn't say anything.

Believe? Deal with?

Such a word has never appeared in Su Wan's dictionary.

She doesn't have the habit of relying on others, even if they are husband and wife; she will fulfill her duties as a wife.

She would sometimes unconsciously act out her little tantrums in front of Qin Yi, but she still preferred to handle some things on her own.

Qin Yi could tell from Su Wan's expression that she hadn't listened to him. Although she appeared delicate and gentle on the surface, she had her own ideas.

He didn't pressure her; he had plenty of time to gradually win her over and let her know that he was wholeheartedly good to her.

One day, she will willingly let her guard down around herself.

Over the next period of time, Qin Yi's leg got better day by day.

Wang Cuiying also became obedient.

At first, Su Wan helped him exercise, but slowly he started to walk along the table by himself, like a toddler learning to walk.

It seemed like a simple little step, but Qin Yi put in all his strength for every step he took.

Cui Zhengming stipulated that Qin Yi should exercise for two hours every day, but apart from resting after acupuncture, he spent all his other time exercising.

He is a person with great perseverance. Once he sees hope, he will grit his teeth and persevere no matter how painful it is.

Cui Zhengming acted like an unscrupulous overseer, directing from behind with a small whip every day.

"Go, yes, just like that, a few more steps, kid, hey hey hey don't stop...!"

In fact, given Qin Yi's self-awareness, Cui Zhengming's supervision was really unnecessary, but he was just too idle.

He was so bored he was itching to help, and besides, given his status, Su Wan and Grandma Qin wouldn't let him do anything.

After searching for a long time, he finally found this legitimate, albeit unnecessary, job to do, just to make himself appear busier.

Jiang Baiyuan and Lin Changchun would visit Qin Yi whenever they had free time to check on his recovery, and life went on at a leisurely pace.

That afternoon, Cui Zhengming suggested having dumplings. Su Wan took the opportunity to knead the dough in the kitchen when Qin Yi appeared silently behind her.

"Wanwan, I'll help you."

Su Wan was startled and turned to look at Qin Yi.

"No need, I can manage on my own. You go and exercise."

Qin Yi stood still. Su Wan looked at him, and under Su Wan's questioning gaze, Qin Yi walked towards the door and then briskly walked back.

Su Wan put down what she was doing and looked at him with a smile.

He's been making rapid progress lately; he feels his legs are getting stronger when he walks, and today he was able to walk a lap in one go.

Their eyes met. Qin Yi's gaze softened, and he reached out to hug Su Wan. During this time, he had been enduring the pain in his legs, which felt as heavy as a thousand pounds and wouldn't obey him, and he had been exercising every day from spring to summer.

He finally stood up, and he could hug his wife while standing.

"Hey hey hey~ dumplings, dumplings...!"

Just as the two were about to hug, Cui Zhengming suddenly appeared like an unidentified object, sandwiching them between them.

The old man winked maliciously, looked the two of them up and down, and then covered his eyes with his hands.

"Don't look at what you shouldn't see! Don't look at what you shouldn't see! Kid, why are you in such a hurry? Can't you just hug me tonight?!"

Su Wan blushed after he teased her.

Cui Zhengming's sophistry, which included the argument that he had "finished reading it and was just closing his eyes," left Qin Yi momentarily speechless.

If it were anyone else, he might have criticized them mercilessly, but Cui Zhengming was his benefactor.

Although Qin Yi gave Cui Zhengming a cold look and didn't give him a good face, he didn't say anything more. He just turned his head away indifferently, maintaining his usual cold and stern demeanor in front of outsiders.

His leg is all healed, so he's not worried about not having time to hug me!

He just wanted to experience what it felt like to stand up and hug his little wife.

now……

Su Wan took a step back and said with a smile, "Sir, the dough is ready to be wrapped once it has risen. Please wait a little longer."

Cui Zhengming smiled, shook his head, and walked away.

Qin Yi remained calm as Su Wan handed him the dumpling filling, saying, "I've already put in the seasonings. Go and mix the filling."

Qin Yi held the basin and obediently did as he was told, mixing the filling in his hands. Suddenly, he remembered what Cui Zhengming had said the day he arrived.

"You two haven't consummated your marriage yet, have you?"

To consummate the marriage...?

He turned to look at Su Wan, his eyes filled with tenderness, as if he were looking at prey or a precious treasure.

As the saying goes, teamwork makes the dream work. This time, Grandma Qin didn't need to help at all to make dumplings. Su Wan rolled out the dough and Qin Yi filled them. The two worked together seamlessly, just like they had done it countless times before.

Grandma Qin was sewing shoe soles on the side, her eyes, behind her reading glasses, constantly glancing at the two of them.
