Chapter 25 Giving Gifts, Being Misunderstood
Why did he give me something? Was it to please me so that I could have a good life in the general's mansion in the future?
And he seemed to have forgotten to ask him why he was willing to marry into the family. Shengxia felt that her usual calmness seemed to become confused when she faced Xia Yanjing. It must be because Xia Yanjing did not play by the rules.
There were many people along the way, so Shengxia didn't ask. Xia Yanjing took Shengxia to his yard. Xia Yanjing felt that he was really foresighted and had someone clean up the yard early.
"Wait for me for a moment, I'll be there soon." Xia Yanjing entered the room, then pushed his wheelchair to come out. However, he overlooked one thing: why every door in ancient times had a threshold.
Xia Yanjing first tried to move the wheelchair out, but he overestimated the strength of his body. He was truly a useless scholar.
In order not to embarrass himself in front of Shengxia, Xia Yanjing used all his strength, but failed in less than a second. Xia Yanjing was panting and looked up to see Shengxia turning her head away as if to cover up her mistake.
Xia Yanjing felt that if a hole appeared now, he would jump in without hesitation.
Shengxia secretly looked at Xia Yanjing, and seeing that Xia Yanjing really seemed unable to lift the wheelchair out, she quickly stepped forward and lifted the wheelchair out with both hands.
"Xia Xia is so strong." Xia Yanjing looked at Sheng Xia with some admiration. Although it was really embarrassing, his wife was really handsome.
"I learned it on the battlefield." Shengxia also accepted Xia Yanjing's praise calmly.
At first, Shengxia thought that Xia Yanjing would be angry and embarrassed, thinking that she had lost his face, but looking at Xia Yanjing's expression, it seemed that he didn't notice at all. Shengxia just felt that Xia Yanjing was very different from the men he had met.
"Xia Xia, this is the gift I gave you. It's called a wheelchair. Actually, it's a gift for my brother-in-law. Sit on it and I'll demonstrate it to you." Xia Yanjing patted the wheelchair, wanting to show his gift quickly.
Shengxia sat on it hesitantly. The moment she sat on it, she felt the softness of the seat cushion and the intimate wrapping of the armrests. She leaned back lightly and felt relaxed all over.
In the next moment, Shengxia suddenly felt his body begin to move involuntarily. This feeling was very strange, as if an invisible force was pushing him forward.
The moment he actually started to move, he immediately understood the purpose of this wheelchair. It was simply tailor-made for his older brother!
This wheelchair not only helps his older brother move freely, but also allows him to experience unprecedented comfort and convenience.
Shengxia imagined his elder brother sitting in this wheelchair, being able to move around easily, no longer constrained by his physical disability. This was undoubtedly the most precious gift.
"Thank you, I like this gift very much." Shengxia expressed his sincere gratitude. If he had this thing earlier, maybe his elder brother would not have been stuck in the house for those four years.
"I asked a friend to make this for me. It's not something particularly expensive. I'm glad you like it."
Although Xia Yanjing had already imagined that Shengxia would like it, when he actually heard Shengxia say that she liked it, the spontaneous sense of satisfaction he felt was beyond his imagination.
"No, this gift is very precious. I thank you on behalf of my brother."
"We will be a family soon. Doing these for my brother-in-law is nothing." Xia Yanjing said a little embarrassedly.
"Is there anything you want?" Shengxia sat in a wheelchair and asked the question he wanted to ask most in the past few days. After all, Xia Yanjing put so much thought into it, and he never narcissistically thought that it was because of him.
"You have already helped me with the stone matter before, there is nothing else I need." Xia Yanjing thought about his current situation and it seemed that there was nothing he needed Shengxia's help with.
"Compared to the gift you gave me, that's nothing." Shengxia said with an unfathomable expression while sitting in a wheelchair.
"That's not the case. Without you, I wouldn't be able to hire a doctor." Xia Yanjing disagreed with Shengxia's statement.
"Are you close to that Shi Tou?" Sheng Xia thought that Xia Yanjing gave him this gift to thank him for helping him to find a royal physician. It seemed that he valued this person named Shi Tou very much.
"We grew up together and he is a very important person in my life." Xia Yanjing answered naturally. He always treated Shitou as his younger brother and he must valued him.
"I understand. Thank you for the gift. Leave the matter of marrying into the family to me. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for Shitou in the future."
At this time, Shengxia had already misunderstood the relationship between Xia Yanjing and Shitou. Shengxia had already imagined a story about a master and servant who loved each other but encountered many difficulties.
Shengxia felt that Xia Yanjing was willing to marry into the family because he wanted to use this opportunity to live happily with his stone. Who knows, maybe the stone was punished for this reason.
Shengxia felt that since this was what Xia Yanjing wanted, he could accept it. After all, he had already planned to live alone for the rest of his life, so it would be a good thing to help a pair of lovers get together.
Xia Yanjing was a little confused after hearing this. He didn't understand why Shengxia said that she would not make things difficult for Shitou. Could it be that there was a grudge between the two of them? That shouldn't be the case.
Just when Xia Yanjing was still confused, Shengxia supported herself on the ground with her feet, and Xia Yanjing naturally stopped moving.
"We've been talking for a long time, it's time to go back." Shengxia felt that he had already gotten the result he wanted, so there was no need for them to talk anymore.
"Okay, it's time for lunch." Xia Yanjing keenly noticed that Shengxia seemed to have become distant from him. They used to be polite to each other, but now there was a feeling of drawing a clear line between them.
"Give it to me." Shengxia stood up and took the wheelchair.
"Oh, okay." Xia Yanjing was a little confused. Maybe he was wrong.
There were many servants on the way back, so Xia Yanjing didn't dare to ask. Every time he passed the threshold, he saw Shengxia easily move the wheelchair over the threshold, which made Xia Yanjing more determined to exercise.
Shengxia quickly put the fact that her husband had a lover behind her. Now she just wanted to give the wheelchair to her elder brother as soon as possible.
Shengxia subconsciously quickened her pace as she pushed the wheelchair, and Xia Yanjing had some difficulty following behind. Fortunately, the original owner was tall and had long legs, so he could barely keep up with Shengxia's pace.
After the two arrived at the reception room, there was an unspeakable silence in the hall. This feeling was broken after the two came in.
After the two came in, everyone's eyes fell on the wheelchair that Shengxia brought in. When Sheng Yuan saw Shengxia pushing the wheelchair towards him, he knew that it was a gift for him.
