The Cold Wife's Domineering Marriage

Ah, ah, ah, ah...

Two days had passed, and she had been lying in this hospital for a full two days!

Ling Xi really wanted to go crazy.

For someone like Ling Xi, who couldn't stand still and used to train with Anran whenever she got the chance, lying in bed for two days was already the ultimate test of patience.

Unfortunately, seeing her grandma and mother bustling about in front of her, one moment peeling fruit for her, the next moment rushing back home to stew soup and bring it over, showing no sign of stopping, Ling Xi felt both happy and helpless.

They looked as though they had no plans to let her out of bed anytime soon, didn't they?

She was seriously starting to feel rusty! Especially with Xixi's body, which hadn't undergone any formal training, had hardly even exercised; her physical strength was simply inadequate. Though she had superpowers for protection, she still needed to train properly—skills were the ultimate truth!

"Grandma, Mom, I want to be discharged from the hospital," Ling Xi said, looking at the two of them with a pitiful expression, not wanting to stay a second longer.

"How could that be possible!" Yang Guiying immediately objected, "You lost so much blood; your body must still be weak. I need to replenish all the nutrients in your body before you leave the hospital. Besides, the wounds on your hand haven't fully healed yet. Look at those two large slashes; it didn't even seem like you knew they would hurt when they were made."

Her eyes could hardly conceal her heartache.

Yang Guiying's gaze grew even more resolute after glancing at the two large cuts on Ling Xi's wrist.

Although there was a family doctor at home who could take care of her and she could rest just the same, if the wound reopened, it would be more convenient to be in the hospital, where a doctor could be there in an instant and the equipment was more complete.

Actually, the wounds on Ling Xi's hands had mostly healed. Mengmeng had originally wanted to use her healing skills to help her recover, but she refused.

After all, if the wounds healed too quickly, it would draw too much attention. Besides, those small cuts weren't a big deal to her anyway!

So, she let them heal naturally!

But now, was it time to regret that decision? She really didn't want to stay in the hospital any longer...

Seeing the pitiful yet speechless and resigned expression on her precious daughter's face, Qin Shiran smiled with relief;

Her Xixi seemed to have become much more cheerful; it looked like she had truly come to terms with everything!

That was really great!

...

Another two days later.

"So great! Finally back home!"

The moment she was home, Ling Xi quickly lay down on the couch and then refused to move an inch.

"Here."

Just as she lay down, someone handed her a plate of freshly washed and cut fruit.

"Thanks, second brother."

Picking up a small piece of apple with a fork and putting it in her mouth, Ling Xi's eyes narrowed in immense satisfaction, like a lazy cat.

"Look at you," Leng Yichen said helplessly as he ruffled Ling Xi's hair.

This little sister seems to have really changed a lot! She's become more cheerful than before, and she likes being close to them more too! Such a transformation is really great!

Most importantly, it seems that she's no longer heartbroken over that bastard Qi Yuanfeng; this point is what their whole family finds most comforting!

Their precious one has really begun to see things clearly!

Little do they know, aside from being in front of them, Ling Xi is no longer the Ling Xi she is now!

...

At the break of dawn, the sun not yet risen.

In the backyard training field, a slender figure is sweating profusely.

The physical condition of this body is really too poor. After just a little over an hour of training, she's already feeling overwhelmed; it seems she has to take it slow and steady!

"Huff..." Letting out a breath, Ling Xi casually grabbed the towel around her neck and wiped the sweat beads that kept emerging.

"Xixi." Just as Ling Xi was about to stand up and head back after a short rest, a pleasant male voice came from behind.

"Big brother." Ling Xi turned around, her smile clever and charming; looking at Leng Yilei dressed in simple sportswear, she asked, "Big brother, are you here to exercise too?"

"Yes." Leng Yilei nodded, "I come here to exercise for an hour every day; I just never thought I would bump into you here today, Xixi."

"How come Xixi suddenly decided to come here to exercise?" Wasn't his little sister the one who loved to sleep in the most? Every morning she had to be coaxed for a long time by mother or grandmother before she would get up, but today she got up without being called and was even earlier than him.

And looking at her, she seemed to have been exercising for a while; it looked like the sun really did rise from the west today!

"Big brother, you don't need to look at the sky, the sun still rises in the east and sets in the west." Seeing her big brother looking up at the still not fully risen sun with an incredulous face, Ling Xi couldn't help but purse her lips.

Really, she's not Xixi, and she's not that lazy!

Seeing his little sister's dissatisfied expression, Leng Yilei chuckled and touched his nose, no longer teasing her to avoid getting an earful from her in a while.

"Why all of a sudden are you interested in getting up early to train?" Leading Ling Xi to the resting area, Leng Yilei asked with a smile.

He just couldn't think of any reason that would make his sleep-loving baby sister get out of bed.

"To exercise my body!" Ling Xi frowned, baring her teeth, "I feel like my physical condition is really poor, and as a descendant of a military family, how can I disgrace grandpa and dad!"

"You sly thing." Leng Yilei helplessly tapped Ling Xi's smooth forehead.

He really didn't believe her excuse! But exercising is always good, and as long as she's happy, they can go along with anything for her.

"In that case, from now on, let your big brother accompany you in your workouts!" Leng Yilei said with a laugh.

"Great!" Ling Xi nodded; this was exactly what she wanted, and it would be convenient to learn a few tricks too! How nice!

Even though big brother had traded military life for business, but as a Leng family child, she absolutely believed that big brother's skills were top-notch! Training together, how could she pass up such a great opportunity!

...

"Xixi, you'll be returning to school for classes tomorrow, have you mentally prepared yourself to face everything?"

Just then, what was a very warm brother-sister chat, suddenly became serious, as Leng Yilei's tone took on a weighty gravity, his gaze solemnly fixed on Ling Xi.
