Chapter 246: Chapter 243 When Can My Wife Come Home

Qin Zhao left the Feng family and took a taxi back to Qin Wan’s house.

"Why are you coming back so late?" Qin Wan was watching TV in the living room and had fallen asleep.

When she heard the noise of Qin Zhao returning, she hurriedly opened her eyes, looking at her in a dazed but worried manner.

"Zhaozhao, you can’t come home so late in the future, it’s almost 12 AM."

Qin Wan was concerned about her; a girl being out late at night could be dangerous.

"I had some things to deal with today; it’s not a common occurrence."

"Then go to bed quickly. Oh, are you hungry? Auntie will make you a midnight snack."

"No need, I’m not hungry."

Qin Zhao quickly returned to the guest room; her phone was bombarded with many messages from Chu Yan. She didn’t even need to open them to know, there must be a bunch of coquettish and cute emoji packs begging her to come home and stay.

How could she dare to go back?

At home was a wolf disguised as a little white rabbit. Right now, he might be flirting and acting cute in WeChat messages, but once she returned, he would eat her up to the point where not even bones remained.

Qin Zhao was not going to fall for that; she would not go back!

Pretending not to see Chu Yan’s messages, Qin Zhao washed up, and went to bed!

The next day, the first thing Chu Yan did when he got up was to check his phone.

To see if his beloved wife had replied to his messages.

Oh, she hadn’t.

A layer of cold frost covered his handsome face in an instant; his thin lips slightly pursed, his eyes getting darker, exuding a hint of dangerous aura, as his slender, pale fingers tapped an emoji pack of a little kitten.

The kitten held a good morning sign.

He clicked to send it to Qin Zhao.

After getting up and freshening up half an hour later.

Good, she still hadn’t replied.

He changed his clothes, prepared to go to Qin Wan’s house to fetch someone.

Before leaving the house, he deliberately rubbed his eyes hard, making the rims red, appearing pitifully as if he had been keeping the solitary room and bathing his face in tears every day.

Even if it took crying, making a scene, or even pretending to hang himself, he had to invoke Qin Wan’s sympathy and get Qin Zhao sent back!

Driving towards Qin Wan’s house, he encountered the morning rush hour and was stuck in traffic several times.

Chu Yan’s brow furrowed, impatience showing in his eyes.

Not only that, he started feeling hotter and hotter; even his fair, handsome face turned a bit rosy, as if the car’s heater was on, making it so hot that his head began to swim.

Even with a severe cold, Chu Yan had never felt like this; his hands holding the steering wheel were sweaty.

Chu Yan felt that something was wrong with his condition and that maybe he couldn’t continue driving.

Just as he thought that, a sedan swerved in front from around the corner, and the two cars suddenly collided.

-

Qin Zhao was awakened by the sound of a ringing phone.

"Miss Qin, Dr. Chu has been in a car accident, please come to the hospital! A signature is needed for the surgery!"

"Ah?" Qin Zhao instantly woke up and jumped out of bed.

She quickly changed clothes, hastily washed her face, and rushed to the hospital.

The one performing surgery was Chu Yan’s assistant, Ling Yi; he saw Qin Zhao and handed her the surgery consent form.

"You have to sign in these places!"

Since they were a couple, only Qin Zhao could sign for Chu Yan’s surgery. The second in line were the parents, but Chu Yan’s household registration did not list his parents.

Qin Zhao swiftly signed the paperwork, her eyes unavoidably revealing worry.

"How did the accident happen? Is it serious?"

"It’s okay, it’s okay, I checked, and it seems his left hand is fractured. We still have to do a detailed examination later; hopefully, there isn’t anything wrong with his brain and heart."

Seeing him in a hurry to perform surgery, Qin Zhao didn’t hold him up for more conversation.

She sat on the seat outside the operating room for a while, but she didn’t sit for long before she couldn’t help but get up and walk around. Her heart was a mess, her mind filled with the image of Chu Yan lying in a pool of blood.

Even though Ling Yi had said it was okay, Qin Zhao still felt it was very serious.

What if there were problems found with the brain or heart, what then?

According to her Alchemy, she should be able to cure him, right?

She didn’t know why.

Deep down, she didn’t want Chu Yan, who was a Mortal, to have too difficult a life. Since he was an ordinary person, he should live a safe and smooth life.

Yet, she felt that someone with Chu Yan’s Fate Diagram couldn’t possibly be ordinary.

Outside the operating room, Qin Zhao was frantic with worry.

Inside the operating room, Chu Yan still had his own consciousness, but his body temporarily couldn’t move.

He was communicating with Xiao Shi in his mind, and Xiao Shi told him that his body was acting strangely because he had just leveled up.

"What does leveling up mean?"

"Baa baa baa."

"Level up from what to what?"

"Baa baa baa."

"Does it always feel like this whenever you level up?"

"Baa baa baa."

"...."

Chu Yan was speechless for quite a while and decided that, after he was discharged, he would teach this sheep how to speak human language.

Xiao Shi didn’t know how to express what leveling up meant in human language, so it just kept baaing.

Chu Yan continued communicating with him for a long time, and by the time he understood what leveling up meant, the surgery had ended. It meant he had become more powerful and the energy inside him was transforming his body.

As for what he had leveled up from and to, neither Chu Yan nor Xiao Shi understood.

After all, Xiao Shi was a spiritual beast, and his cultivation path was different from that of humans.

Ling Yi, along with a nurse, pushed the hospital bed out of the operating room and said to Qin Zhao waiting outside, "It’s just his left hand, a fractured bone, and some rest will be enough for a full recovery."

Qin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to take the place of one of the nurses.

She and Ling Yi together pushed the hospital bed to the ward.

Chu Yan felt her presence and only then did he open his eyes, which were clear and bright.

"Zhaozhao."

His voice was pitiful as he spoke, for he hadn’t seen Qin Zhao in days.

"I’m here." Qin Zhao was now especially tender toward him, her gaze filled with pity as she talked to Chu Yan, "Tell me if you’re feeling uncomfortable anywhere."

"I’m fine." Chu Yan said bravely, "Don’t worry."

After he spoke, he gazed at her eagerly, as if waiting for something.

Qin Zhao’s heart was complicated, still filled with the panic from earlier, even now feeling a lingering fear. So, she didn’t speak and just sat quietly by the bed.

Chu Yan could only make his request clearer, "Can you give me a kiss?"

"..." Qin Zhao looked at him helplessly, but still stood up and gently kissed his forehead.

He said again, "I want a kiss on the lips, too."

Qin Zhao indulged him, kissing Chu Yan’s somewhat cold lips.

"How did the accident happen?"

"I was thinking about other things at the time, so I wasn’t paying attention to the road."

Chu Yan didn’t mention the leveling up because he could feel that Qin Zhao seemed not wanting him to cultivate.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have refused to teach him before; he thought it was better to keep it a secret.

"What was so important that you had to think about it?" Qin Zhao looked somewhat displeased, "Don’t think about all those messy things while driving in the future, focus on the road."

"I was thinking," he paused for a moment, "When will my wife come home? Not coming home every day, not replying to my messages, the more I think about it, the sadder I get, the more it hurts."

Towards the end, his tone became even more wistful.
