Power and Wealth - Chapter 41

Chapter 41
Morning .





9 am .

Drip, drip, drip…… The needle of the drip was injected into Dong Xuebing’s wrist . It was excruciating . Qu Yunxuan had nothing much to do in the ward, and she took his keys . She left for his home to help him bring his towels, underwear, socks, etc . She also needs to help him bring a set of clean clothes . The newly bought suit and shoes were all damaged in the fire .

After Qu Yunxuan left, the nurse who was inserting the drip laughed: “Your aunt is so pretty . ”

The old man also said: “That girl is so nice to you . ”

Dong Xuebing felt proud . It was as if they were praising him .

Qu Yunxuan returned before 11 am with a small suitcase . She had brought clothes, toothbrush, shampoo, plates, etc . along with her and packed everything into the small cabinet beside Dong Xuebing’s bed . She was sweating and panting . But she did not stop . She lifted Dong Xuebing’s blanket and change his socks for him . After that, she took a plastic basin and soap to the washroom to help wash his dirty socks .

Dong Xuebing was touched . ‘Aunt Xuan, rest for a while . ”

Qu Yunxuan turned and smiled . She still had foams on her hands . “I am not tired . You stop moving about . You are still on a drip . ”

“Ok . ”





Aunt Xuan was squatting down washing the clothes, and her back was facing Dong Xuebing . Her clothes were pulled up slightly, exposing her lower back . Dong Xuebing’s eyes were glued to her back . Maybe he was imagining something naughty and suddenly had the urge to pee . He looked at the bottle of drip hang above him . There were at least half a bottle more . It will last at least half an hour more . He tried to control the urge, but could not stand it anymore . He endured the pain in his shoulders and legs and slowly got off the bed to wear his slippers .

Qu Yunxuan who had finished washing his socks was shocked . “What are you trying to do?”

Dong Xuebing smiled . “I need to go to the toilet . ” He reached out to grab the drip .

“Stop moving . You are not allowed to move . ” Qu Yunxuan hurriedly washed her hands . “The drip is attached to your moveable hand . You cannot carry the drip with that hand . ”

It was hard for Dong Xuebing to visit the toilet yesterday . Today, it was harder with the drip . Dong Xuebing also knew that he was not allowed to move . But it was embarrassing for him to ask Aunt Xuan to help him . “It’s fine . I will be out in a minute to help you . ” Dong Xuebing ignored her and pressed the drip’s valve, stopping the drip . He carried the bottle and limped towards the toilet .

Qu Yunxuan walked towards him angrily . “Why can’t you listen to me? You want me to hit you?” She took the bottle from him and helped him to the toilet . “Don’t try to be a hero . Come, I will help you . ”

Dong Xuebing replied embarrassedly: “It’s okay . I can do it myself . ”

Qu Yunxuan waved her hand: “You want me to hit you? Hurry up and go!”

“Ok……” Dong Xuebing knew he could not win against her and limped into the toilet .






Usually, the toilets in the hospital will have hooks for hanging the drip bottle . But Dong Xuebing and Qu Yunxuan looked around and did not see the hooks . It was embarrassing, and both of them paused for a second before Qu Yunxuan closes the door behind her and lifted the toilet seat . She raised the bottle of drip above her head and turned towards the wall . “Hurry . I will not look at you . ”

Dong Xuebing almost died from the embarrassment . “Errr…… I…… You……”

“What are you shy of?” Qu Yunxuan turned and stared at him . “Hurry!”

Dong Xuebing almost cried when he saw Qu Yunxuan turning and looking at him . He slowly untied his hospital pants but did not lower it .

“I will count to 3, and I will really hit you . ” Qu Yunxuan said with her back facing him . “1…… 2…… 3…… . ”

Dong Xuebing gritted his teeth, lower his pants and start to pee .

The was the first time Dong Xuebing felt that the splashing sounds of peeing were so embarrassing .

After the splashing sounds stopped, Qu Yunxuan helped him flushed and helped him back to his bed . “Aunt had bought some bananas and apples on the way here . Which would you like to eat?”

Dong Xuebing who just laid down replied . “It’s fine . ”

“How can you not eat fruits? You need the vitamins . ” Qu Yunxuan helped him peeled a banana and turned it to him . “Listen to me and open your mouth . Ah…… . ” Dong Xuebing thought to himself . This was also not the first time he embarrassed himself in front of Aunt Xuan . He ignored the looks of the old man and his son and took a bite of the banana . Qu Yunxuan laughed . “Good boy . Take one more bite . Ah……” Aunt Xuan had one leg kneeling on the bed as she moved closer to Dong Xuebing to feed the banana .





Qu Yunxuan’s knee which was covered in her skinned colored stockings moved under the warm blanket .

Dong Xuebing could feel something warm and smoothed touch his hand . It was Qu Yunxuan’s leg!

Dong Xuebing’s mind started to wonder and said out the words again . “Aunt Xuan, I really like you . Can you be my girlfriend?”

Qu Yunxuan was stunned and her hand, holding the banana, froze in mid-air .

With the previous experience, Dong Xuebing was more confident this time . “I have never met anyone as virtuous as you . I had fallen in love with you the first time we met . Aunt Xuan, I know I am not good enough for you . But I really hope you will give me a chance . ”

Qu Yunxuan blushed and placed the banana on the table . “It is too sudden . I…… I am not prepared at all . ”

Dong Xuebing was overjoyed . Aunt Xuan did not say that he was not her type this time . Hahaha . Seems like becoming clean and tidy works . This was one more step to success . “I know it is sudden . But I really like you . Can you be my girlfriend?”

Qu Yunxuan kept quiet .

“Can?”

After a while, she sighed . “I’m sorry Xiao Bing . I have no intentions of dating now . ”

Although Dong Xuebing knew that he will be rejected, but he can’t help feeling disappointed . “Why? Am I not good looking enough? Is it my character or something else?”

Qu Yunxuan shook her head and looked out of the windows . “There is nothing wrong with you . It’s my problem . You are a good person . ” She paused for a second . “Do you remember what I said to you on the day you fetch me from work? I still have dreams of setting up my own company . I had been working hard for years for this dream . I do not want to be distracted by being in a relationship .

Dong Xuebing asked: “Setting up your company? You should need at least 1 million RMB as capital? Is your salary at the newspaper agency enough?”

Qu Yunxuan kept quiet .

Dong Xuebing continued: “You will not date if you did not accomplish your dream?”

Qu Yunxuan nodded . “That’s what I decided . Sorry . ”

“Then after you have your own company will you be my girlfriend?” Dong Xuebing asked .

Qu Yunxuan’s face turns red and got up . “I will ask the doctor about your condition . ”

Damn!

Was this a success?
