Philadelphia, maple-lined waterfront.
"Miss Xia, your medicine is ready. Please drink it while it's hot; it'll be good for your eyes."
After Li Ma finished brewing the medicine, she placed it on the coffee table in front of Xia Bingqing.
Xia Bingqing stretched on the sofa, frowned, and said, "Aunt Li, you know perfectly well that I can't see anything, yet you still make me take my medicine by myself. You're becoming more and more unruly. Aren't you afraid that my brother Xun will punish you when he comes back?"
Li Ma: "..." Miss Xia, our young master has already broken off the engagement with you, yet you still keep calling him "Brother Xun." In all my years, I've never seen anyone as shameless as you.
"I'm sorry, Miss Xia, you are a guest. It was my oversight on my part." Li Ma spoke respectfully, emphasizing the word "guest." "How about this, I'll feed you your medicine."
As she spoke, Li Ma picked up the medicine bowl from the coffee table and leaned over.
To everyone's surprise, Xia Bingqing tilted her head and said with dissatisfaction, "You're just a servant, what right do you have to feed me medicine? Besides, this medicine is so hot, and you're so clumsy, what if you burn me?"
Li Ma: "..." She really thinks she's the lady of the house.
Faced with Xia Bingqing's unreasonable behavior, Li Ma also lost her temper. "Miss Xia, according to you, I, a servant, am not qualified to feed you medicine. Do you expect our young lady or young master to feed you medicine?"
"Li Ma, what's wrong?" Just then, Yi Yi came in from outside and saw Li Ma and Xia Bingqing in a stalemate, and was a little puzzled.
Just as Li Ma was about to speak, Xia Bingqing raised her eyebrows and said, "You are not qualified to feed me medicine, but isn't there someone here ready? Yi Yi, I can't see, so I can't drink the medicine myself. You feed me."
"That won't do, Yi Yi isn't a servant..."
“Why not? Yi Yi took care of your young lady before. Although I’m no longer Xun’s fiancée, he was very affectionate with me before he left today. Maybe he’ll change his mind tomorrow and agree to our marriage again. Besides, I saved Xun’s life; I’m his savior. Even he said he would take good care of me and heal my eyes. Yi Yi just fed me the medicine; it’s not like I’m wronging her. What do you say, Yi Yi?”
Giving medicine was fine, taking care of people was fine too; Yi Yi had taken care of cats and dogs before. It was just that she clearly knew Xia Bingqing was faking her blindness, so naturally she wasn't willing to cooperate and feed her medicine.
That despicable Mu Nanxun actually believed Xia Bingqing, that liar, and refused to believe her.
Yi was already in a bad mood and had no intention of paying attention to her at all. "Drink it or don't, it's up to you."
"Are you so afraid of me, Yi Yi?" Xia Bingqing said with ill intent. "I know that I used to be Xun-gege's fiancée, and now I spend all my time by Xun-gege's side, which poses a threat to you. So, even though I can't see, you are still wary of me and don't even dare to feed me medicine."
What kind of talk is this! When did Yi Yi ever become wary of a liar?
Yi Yi knew that Xia Bingqing was trying to provoke her, and she could have simply ignored it. However, seeing Xia Bingqing's smug expression, Yi Yi felt annoyed. She wasn't good at hiding her emotions, nor did she want to suppress her anger.
