In order not to waste Bai Qihan’s time, Luo Yun quickly finished her meal and went upstairs to the study. Seeing that the door was ajar, she pushed it open a little and saw Bai Qihan on the phone.

“Alright, tell grandpa that I’ll go back with her.” Bai Qihan put down the phone and looked at her. “This weekend, you need to go to the Bai family’s old residence with me.”

Luo Yun walked in and asked, “Is it a family banquet?”

“Yes.”

“Alright, I’ll prepare in advance.”

“What did you need me for?” Bai Qihan raised his head and asked.

“I need a lawyer who is very experienced in civil litigation to help me, especially one who is experienced in the field of parent and child obligations.” She frowned. “I want to settle the Luo family’s matter as soon as possible so that there won’t be any more trouble in the future.” Most importantly, when Bai Qihan dealt with the Luo family in the future, she was worried that the Luo family would take advantage of her and she would become an obstacle for Bai Qihan.

Bai Qihan looked at her for a long time before taking out a card from the cabinet in front of his desk. “I’ll inform Lawyer Xu in advance. You can consult him on any such matters.”

Luo Yun received the card with both hands and nodded. “Okay, thank you.” She turned around and stopped delaying his work, but he suddenly called out to her. At this moment, she handed her a black card. “This is for you.”

Luo Yun was stunned. She was surprised that he was actually willing to give him money. Previously, Luo Yun had not done any work and only ever spent money. She even gave a lot of her money to Lu Bei. In the end, her account was frozen by the bank for illegally embezzling assets.

“You need money.”

The authoritative explanation was simple and clear, but it hit her heart. Because after she came to this world, she realized that the original owner had left her with nothing but a mess! While she did have some medical skills, she had nowhere to put them to good use. She did not try to act pretentiously and directly accepted the card from Bai Qihan.

She held the edge of the card and stood there thinking for a while. Then, she took the opportunity to make a request. “I can’t take your money for free. I’ll pay you back accordingly.”

“There are servants attending to my daily life at home, and I already have a butler, chauffeur, and security.” Bai Qihan’s tone was calm. He really did not have anything he needed her to do. Besides, she was married to be his wife, not a servant. He was not an easy person to get along with in the business world, but he was not mean to his wife at home.

Luo Yun quickly ran over and explained, “I have a unique skill! One that servants can’t do!” She then squatted down and stared straight into his eyes. She said solemnly, “I know how to do some Eastern massage, and I know a bit of acupuncture. I’ve learned these recently. Here, let me give you a sample…” She placed her hand on his lap and pressed down. “…This can promote blood circulation.”

Bai Qihan lowered his gaze, and a ripple appeared in them.

“See, I can take care of you too. I’ll help you do this every day, ” Luo Yun said as he pressed her down.

He indeed could not feel anything in his legs, but that did not mean that he could not feel elsewhere. Bai Qihan took a deep breath and held her slender wrist. “Alright, you don’t have to be so persistent about such matters. That has little effect. You should go out now. I still have to work to do.” As time passed, she would probably run out of patience.

He did not have much confidence in his legs being treated. He honestly believed that he would never be able to stand up again. He only exercised daily to prevent his muscles from deteriorating and to give himself more energy to devote himself to work and achieve something.

Luo Yun did not insist. When she went downstairs, she ran into the butler. “Uncle!”

“Greetings, madam.” The butler bowed respectfully.

“I would like to know more about my husband’s condition. Can I see the doctor’s diagnosis and follow-up rehabilitation plan?” Luo Yun asked sincerely.

But in response, the butler revealed a wary and doubtful gaze.

Luo Yun felt tired. Why doesn’t anyone here have any trust in me? Even Bai Qihan doesn’t believe that I care about him! Just how much of a failure was the original host of this body?

“I just want to know more about him so that I can take care of him in the future. I’ve been married to Bai Qihan for over a year now, so I should take some responsibility. I was muddle-headed in the past, but I’m sober now. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything bad again.”

The butler stared at her with a pair of eyes that seemed to have seen through the world. He could see that there was only sincerity and determination in her eyes, so he did not make things difficult for her. He only said, “The young master does not like being deceived nor people going back on their word.”

“I know!” Luo Yun said with certainty.

…

Bai Qihan’s father was the second son of the Bai family’s old master. When he came of age, he rejected the marriage alliance that was planned for him and married a girl he liked who had an ordinary background. The two of them had a wonderful marriage until a sudden car accident befell them when Bai Qihan was eight years old. Back then, Bai Qihan’s parents had protected him, but both of them, unfortunately, died in the accident.
