175: Chapter 175 Redundant Explanation

The Lin Family had not been informed in advance that Lin Xiao was bringing Qiu Xiaoyan home.

So when Lin Xiao led Qiu Xiaoyan home, everyone was stunned.

Su Yu couldn't help but laugh, "So the plaintiff actually came looking for us at home?"

Lin Xiao didn't quite understand Su Yu's teasing, but he still signaled to them vigorously, indicating that they shouldn't ask too many questions for now.

And with the help of a servant, he brought Qiu Xiaoyan to the guest room on the second floor.

Looking at the empty room, Qiu Xiaoyan couldn't help but tear up again.

"Hubby, are you really going to make me sleep here by myself?"

"This room is quite nice, it's big and bright, and someone cleans it every day, there isn't a speck of dust..."

Lin Xiao explained naturally.

But as he spoke, he seemed to understand Qiu Xiaoyan's intention.

"Wait a second, you don't mean to..."

"I don't want to live apart from you, our relationship will fade over time."

Qiu Xiaoyan pouted, looking aggrieved.

Lin Xiao kept searching for excuses in his mind, and when he glanced at the bandage on Qiu Xiaoyan's forehead, he instantly had an idea.

"Xiao Yan, look, you're still injured!"

Lin Xiao explained in a gentle tone, "If we sleep together, what if I accidentally bump into your wound?"

"I'm fine!"

Qiu Xiaoyan shook her head without hesitation, "My wound is almost healed, I don't want our relationship to fade, what if you stop liking me by then."

As she spoke, she looked like she was about to cry again.

The doctor's instructions and Mrs. Qiu's requests flashed through Lin Xiao's mind again.

In order not to upset Qiu Xiaoyan, he had to compromise.

He called over the servants and had all of Qiu Xiaoyan's luggage moved to his room.

Qiu Xiaoyan was already physically exhausted, and after being discharged early, she needed even more rest.

Lin Xiao comforted her in various ways and finally managed to coax her to sleep first.

After ensuring she was truly asleep, he carefully left the room and walked downstairs.

By this time, most of the family had returned.

Their expressions varied as they looked at Lin Xiao.

There was teasing, playfulness, curiosity, and relief...

"I know you're all overthinking things right now, but stop thinking for a moment!"

Lin Xiao raised his hand, stopping everyone who was eager to ask questions.

He gave a rough overview of the situation with the Qiu Family and Qiu Xiaoyan.

Lin Ran raised an eyebrow, "Little brother, do you think there's a possibility that this girl likes you so much that she's faking an illness to make it a done deal!"

Others gave Lin Ran a thumbs up.

You really are the one who dares to think!

Although it sounded unexpected, judging by Qiu Xiaoyan's previous performance, it seemed plausible.

Lin Xiao quickly denied it, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

For her daughter's sake, Mrs. Qiu even arranged for a joint consultation with neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry to determine her daughter's current condition.

After examining Qiu Xiaoyan, the conclusion reached by several experts was unanimous: she really did have memory confusion!

"So she really is sick."

Su Xiumei nodded silently.

Lin Xiao was surprised, "Mom, why do I feel like you're a bit disappointed?"

"I thought you had brought a girlfriend home."

Su Xiumei sighed softly, "This girl really takes after her mother, she's so beautiful, it's just that her family background is a bit ordinary."

Lin Chuge teased, "I think A-Xiao just fancies her. Otherwise, with our family's vast wealth, why would he cooperate with her act just for a tiny bit of shares from the Qiu Family? Tsk tsk tsk... it doesn't make sense!"

"It really doesn't make sense."

Others nodded in agreement.

Lin Xiao watched them talking back and forth, and for a moment, he didn't know where to start explaining.

[My god, even a fly's leg is still meat!]

[The major projects in the Qiu Family's hands have deep implications; they will help the company develop rapidly later on, and I'll be able to get a promotion soon.]

[As long as the Qiu Family can keep up this momentum, when the Jin Family finally makes a move against the Lin Family, the Qiu Family will become the Lin Family's strongest support!]

Listening to Lin Xiao's inner voice, everyone suddenly understood.

So Lin Xiao was willing to sell his looks for the sake of the family!

What a great sacrifice!

Teary-eyed!

...

It was already late when Lin Xiao returned to his room.

He entered the room only to find the bed completely empty!

Where was she?

At this moment, he heard movement coming from the bathroom.

A moment later, the bathroom door opened.

The first thing that caught Lin Xiao's eyes was a pair of long, snow-white legs!

Qiu Xiaoyan appeared to have just come out of the shower; her hair was damp, which made her little face look even more radiant and moving.

Her snow-white skin looked almost transparent, delicate enough to break with a touch.

And she was only wearing an oversized shirt.

The shirt barely covered her bottom, leaving the area below empty, exposing her two slender legs.

Water droplets from the ends of her hair fell onto the shirt, soaking a small area.

Her chest was partially visible...

Looking at this scene, Lin Xiao's head felt a bit muddled.

He only felt a wave of warmth in his nose, followed immediately by Qiu Xiaoyan's exclamation.

"Hubby, why are you having a nosebleed?"

Qiu Xiaoyan's little face was full of worry; she ran over quickly and took a tissue to wipe Lin Xiao's nosebleed.

Then she went to pour a cup of hot water and placed it gently in Lin Xiao's hands.

"Hubby must be sick too because you've been too worried about me lately. Hurry and lie down, get some good rest."

As she spoke, she reached out to hold Lin Xiao's arm, wanting to help him lie down.

When Lin Xiao's arm made contact with that soft area, his body became hot.

He looked up and saw that the top button of the white shirt was undone.

It seemed, it wasn't exactly flat-chested either.

The sound of "Hubby" ringing in his ears made him feel somewhat infatuated and confused.

No!

Can't hold back anymore!
