The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Grow Up Quickly, My Little Enchantress

Xu Xiaomiao looked at Qingwu, whose wrist was wrapped in gauze, her eyes red and swollen.

She mustered the courage to walk up to Qingwu, bowed deeply, and her tears fell onto the floor.

“Ms. Shen, thank you.”

Qingwu shook her head, “It’s no big deal, don’t take it to heart. This was my own decision and has nothing to do with you.”

“I only saved you because you’re Xiaoxiao’s sister.”

Xu Xiaoru exposed her with a teasing grin, “Hehe, but when you saved me back then, it certainly wasn’t because of whose sister I was.”

Qingwu looked up at her.

“That was because you owed my grandmother a ton of bread money and hadn’t paid it back. I had to collect it somehow.”

Xu Xiaoru knew Qingwu was just making excuses!

Her mentor had a heart softer and kinder than anyone else’s!

“Some things you’ll have to handle on your own. I won’t be coming to check on you for a while.”

Xu Xiaoru understood what Qingwu meant.

“I get it!”

Qingwu glanced at Shen Jishi, “Fourth Brother, please help Xiaoxiao out.”

“Alright. You focus on resting and stop worrying about everything else.”

Seeing how well Qingwu treated Xu Xiaoru, Shen Jishi realized his sister must truly value her.

Not wanting Qingwu to worry about Xu Xiaoru any longer, Shen Jishi immediately agreed.

As they walked out of the consultation room, Xu Xiaoru glanced at Xu Xiaomiao, who was still crying.

“Stop crying already. It’s not a big deal.”

“Sister Xiaoxiao, were you… like me once too?”

“Worse than you. I nearly starved to death! But someone told me I should believe in myself.”

Xu Xiaoru wrapped an arm around Xu Xiaomiao’s shoulder, affectionately embracing the once distant younger sister.

“Now your sister has to go home to fight the battle. Will you stay here in the hospital to rest, or will you come home with me?”

Xu Xiaomiao’s heart gradually calmed. She turned back to glance at Qingwu surrounded by the Shen Family.

Determined, she said, “I’ll go fight with you, Sister! I can’t let Sister Shen’s efforts to save me go to waste!”

“Good girl.”

…

Leisure Inn Phoenix Building, Shen Mansion.

The family returned home in a grand procession. Shen Dongli worried that Qingwu was exhausted. “Ah Jue, take Little Wu upstairs to rest!”

“Okay.”

Zuo Wanjun turned to enter the kitchen to prepare bone soup for her precious daughter. Today’s events had scared them out of their wits!

Shen Dongli stood beside Zuo Wanjun, both looking a bit lost.

The housekeeper called out to them several times, “Director Shen, Madam? Didn’t you say you were going to make soup for the eldest miss?”

Why were they just standing there with the knife, not moving?

Zuo Wanjun snapped back to reality and pinched Shen Dongli.

“Husband, how is it that our Little Wu… is so amazing?”

Shen Dongli grimaced in pain!

Zuo Wanjun mumbled, “It doesn’t hurt. I must be dreaming.”

“Wife, you’re pinching me! Ow, it hurts so much!”

Zuo Wanjun looked at Shen Dongli.

“Tell me, how did our precious one grow up to be so kind? This silly girl…”

How much hardship must she have endured to become so strong?

It wasn’t hard to imagine that although Lin Huazhen might have been materially poor, she never mistreated Qingwu and raised her so wonderfully.

Such kindness and resilience… The delicate little flower they once thought would break easily had already grown into a tree…

Zuo Wanjun felt a pang of sourness in her heart and hugged Shen Dongli tightly, both of them wailing.

“Husband, our precious has had it so tough!”

“Yes, she has, my dear wife! Waaaah!”

The housekeeper looked on, utterly bewildered.

What was going on this time?

…

Pei Jue placed Qingwu onto the bed, still feeling uneasy. He pressed his cheek against hers, reassured only by the soft warmth of her in his arms.

When Qingwu rushed toward Xu Xiaomiao, Pei Jue’s heart nearly stopped!

“Little Wu, let me see the injury on your back.”

“The nurse just treated it earlier.”

“I can’t feel at ease until I take a look myself.”

Qingwu hesitated for a moment, but seeing the worry brimming in Pei Jue’s eyes, her resolve softened.

She turned and removed her coat. Her upper body, wrapped in gauze, came into view. Several bruises on her back had been treated with salve, and as per the Shen Family’s insistence, they had applied gauze.

It wasn’t actually that serious.

As Chen Jianhong had said, they had arrived just in time.

If they had delayed any longer, the wounds would’ve healed!

Despite her nearing engagement, it was the first time Qingwu had removed her clothing in front of Pei Jue, and her face flushed with heat.

The next moment, warm lips gently landed on her scapula, like a butterfly’s fleeting pause.

Pei Jue’s voice trembled slightly.

“Don’t be so reckless in the future. Even though I know you’re strong, I still worry.”

Feeling the concern and affection in his words, Qingwu’s heart filled with a gentle warmth.

“Okay, I understand.”

Today’s events were purely accidental.

No one had expected them to frighten the Shen Family and Pei Jue so much.

“Ah Jue, I’m fine. You don’t need to worry so much.”

“Little Wu, grow up soon.”

Qingwu was slightly stunned as her back was pulled into an embrace.

His voice trembled as he spoke.

“Hurry up and grow up, marry me, let me protect you. I want to share everything I have with you—money, status, and… myself.”

“Whether it’s now or in the future, I want to hold a better title as I stand by your side.”

Qingwu’s heart quivered along with his words.

“Aren’t things fine as they are? You’re already protecting me.”

“It’s not the same. At the very least, I want to be in the position to share everything with you legally, to appear at your side in moments of danger, to bear your pain.”

Pei Jue sighed and dropped a kiss on her nape.

Qingwu knew that the perilous situations Pei Jue had faced far exceeded what had happened today, which, in comparison, was minor.

Still, the scene today had left him shaken.

After some thought, Qingwu softened her tone.

“Okay, I promise I won’t be so reckless in the future.”

“Even if you promise me, when something like this happens, you’ll still charge forward.”

He understood her and didn’t want to restrain her!

“So grow up soon, my fiancée. When you grow up, marry me, become my wife, and let me face all the storms with you!”

Pei Jue’s words, accompanied by his burning kisses, fell against Qingwu’s ear, igniting a passionate emotion that melted her heart.

“Mm, I agree.”

…

Qiao Xi Hospital, Beijing.

Shen Zhongshuang, dressed in a white coat, stood by Elder Pei’s bedside.

“Elder, you’re looking quite spirited lately!”

He didn’t look like a gravely ill elder at all. Instead, he was energetic enough to play chess with Elder Shen!

“It’s all thanks to Little Wu! No matter what, I have to be in good shape to attend her and Ah Jue’s engagement banquet!”

Shen Zhongshuang rubbed his hands together.

“By the way, can I take a look at the medication Qingwu prescribed you?”

Shen Zhongshuang didn’t have the nerve to directly ask Qingwu, so he brought it up while examining Elder Pei.

“Sure, sure. Just don’t take it away. If Little Wu sees I haven’t taken it, she’ll scold me!”

Shen Zhongshuang delicately cradled the box of pills Elder Pei handed over.

His hands were trembling!

“Elder, could you take off your shirt and lie down?”

Elder Pei: “At my age…”
