Lauren spoke clearly.

At this moment, their gazes met. In Xiao Ye’s eyes, Lauren was calm and confident.

There was even a hint of mockery in the smile on her lips.

“What do you want?” Xiao Ye asked straightforwardly. At this moment, he was somewhat curious about Lauren’s thoughts.

Lu ran said, “What I want is very simple. Although I’m here, I have to go back to the Lu family for a few days a week. You can’t restrict my movement and don’t ask me about my whereabouts. If necessary, give me some help.”

“What makes you think I’ll agree to it?” Xiao Ye laughed in a low voice, his tone full of ridicule.

“You know about the Miracle Doctor Hundred Herbs, right?”

Lauren pursed her lips and asked Xiao Ye.

She saw a flash of surprise in Xiao Ye’s eyes. A few seconds later, there was a hint of malice and guardedness in his eyes.

She had learned psychology.

At this moment, she knew what Xiao Ye was thinking. She came from the countryside and lived in a poor village. How would she know the Miracle Doctor Hundred Herbs?

Lauren did not know her, but K did. She was her best friend.

“She saved me once when I was injured. She stayed at my place for some time,” Lauren explained casually.

Xiao Ye still did not believe her. The wariness in his eyes made Lauren pretty annoyed.

“If that’s not the case, then what do you think? If I had other connections, would I have been tricked by John and abandoned here?”

“Mr. Xiao, don’t you want to be able to get out of the wheelchair?” Lauren did not want to drag on the conversation for too long and hit the nail on the head.

Xiao Ye pursed his lips and did not answer. His face was tense.

Over the years, he had looked for all the famous doctors in the country and abroad, but they were all useless.

After that, the Miracle Doctor Hundred Herbs appeared out of nowhere. He had been trying to contact her and tried to hire her with a lot of money but to no avail.

The jackals and wolves of the Xiao family were all waiting to pounce on him. He still had a lot of things to do. Even in his dreams, he was hoping that his legs would be cured.

How could he not want to get out of the wheelchair?

“As long as you can contact her to cure my legs, it won’t be a problem for me to let you go,” Xiao Ye said.

This guy finally said something humane.

“Okay, words have no proof. Let’s put it in writing.” She was not someone who could be easily fooled.

Xiao Ye did as she said. Yu Chen brought the agreement in duplicate.

Just as he finished signing, there was a series of knocks on the door.

Following that was the voice of the maid, “Young Madam, Young Master, breakfast is ready. Master asked me to come up and call you.”

Hearing this, Lauren was unhappy again. She was knocked out from yesterday to this morning, how much dosage did John give her?

Even though it was annoying, she had already made a deal with Xiao Ye. She still knew her duty as a wife.

“I got it. I’ll be right there,” Lauren answered, holding the armrest of the wheelchair.

Xiao Ye teased, “I didn’t expect you to get on board so quickly.”

Was not that obvious? After ten years of training, she knew the strong preyed on the weak.

If she could not adapt, she would have died a long time ago.

“What else? Let’s work together happily. We still have to put on a show.”Lauren snorted and pushed Xiao Ye out the door.

Downstairs, the Xiao family were all gathered around a dining table.

Apart from the Master, she had never seen anyone else.

“Big Brother, Sister-in-law.”

One of the men greeted her and Xiao Ye first.

“This is my brother Xiao Mu, and this is my sister Xiao Ran. This is Auntie Gu.” Xiao Ye introduced them to her one by one.

When Lauren heard the name Gu, she was shocked.

The two persons who had kidnapped her that day had said that it was a middle-aged man with the surname Gu. They did not want her to come back…

However, Lauren quickly gave up on this thought.

There were so many people with the same name in the world. She should not have been so guarded towards this lady.

After all, Xiao Ye’s legs were weak. He would not live long in the outside world.

She did not have any status or background. There was no need to send someone to kill her.

“Auntie Gu.”

“Grandfather.”

In front of the elders, she knew this little bit of etiquette.

“Father, I think we should prepare a wedding for Xiao Ye. If outsiders find out about this, they might even comment about our Xiao family,” Gu Mei took the opportunity to suggest to the Master.

Lauren observed her. She spoke neither slowly nor too quickly. Her clothes were simple yet elegant, and she was the image of a gentle lady of high social status.

Her suggestion was out of kindness.

However, Xiao Ye coldly rejected it. “There’s no need.”

“Big Brother, with us around, who would dare to say anything about you? Moreover, the country doesn’t stipulate that a cripple can’t have a wedding, right?”
