Because of Yao Zizhou's injury and coma, the entire Yao Corporation was in turmoil. Ming Liuyi recalled that in the book she had read, Yao Zizhou's cousin, Yao Ziyang, was in a hurry to take over the CEO position, and had tried to assassinate Yao Zizhou.
Ming Liuyi looked at the vegetative male protagonist and sighed. They all said that male protagonists were blessed, but she had never seen such a miserable example of one.
Ming Liuyi turned around to call for Xiao Fan. She thought about the plot of the original book. This Xiao Fan was a housekeeper who took care of Yao Zizhou and had no ulterior motive. And so, Ming Liuyi entrusted her with the task of secretly observing the unfamiliar housekeeper, just to see who she was in close contact with.
Actually, the kitchen had made two glasses of orange juice. Xiao Fan had not realized it at the time; she had thought that the madam only wanted to give them to the master, so she brought the first glass up first. The other housekeeper saw that there was still one glass left and brought it upstairs. After all, Ming Liuyi was Yao Zizhou's legal wife. Even if Yao Zizhou died, Ming Liuyi still held authority, and some people did not want to end up on her bad side.
After Ming Liuyi had finished giving Xiao Fan her instructions, she went to the kitchen and told the staff to have two glasses of orange juice be delivered to the master bedroom on time every day. Now that the enemy was hiding in the dark, and she was out in the open, she could only bide her time. If she stopped the orange juice now, she did not know where the other party would cause trouble again, and it would be impossible to guard against.
Ming Liuyi was not sure if there had been anything wrong with the two glasses of orange juice. After all, some of the storylines in the book were roughly written, so she could only pour away the orange juice that she had doubts about.
Ming Liuyi looked at Yao Zizhou's completely defenseless appearance on the bed, revealing a fragility that could be destroyed at will.
"I really did not expect that one day, a man like you would need a little girl like me to protect you. To think that you're the male lead! I don't know where your Male Lead Halo went... but your fate isn't any better than mine." Ming Liuyi massaged Yao Zizhou's legs, and could not help but sigh as she thought of his experiences in the book.
However, Ming Liuyi did not notice that Yao Zizhou's eyelashes were trembling slightly.
Yao Zizhou could feel a pair of small hands, soft and delicate, pressing on his legs which were supposed to be numb. When Ming Liuyi touched his leg, he regained some consciousness. He wanted to struggle to get up, but he still could not move at all. It was like his hands and feet were tied, and he could not control his body at all.
Powerlessness and despair overwhelmed him, the feeling was no better than dying, but he did not want to live a worthless life.
In the next second, he heard a delicate female voice mumbling beside him.
"Yao Zizhou, I'm not taking advantage of you, I'm just giving you a massage! It'll prevent your muscles from shriveling up." Ming Liuyi's babbled on.
Yao Zizhou was speechless. 'So what if she touched my ugly, crippled legs?!'
"I wanted to employ the caregivers at first, they're the professionals, after all. But now, I think they're all very suspicious, so let's forget it. You'll just have to tolerate having an amateur like me," Ming Liuyi continued to mumble as if she was talking to a tree.
Yao Zizhou was really confused, who was this female voice? He listened attentively for a while, and did not hear anyone else's breathing. To a vegetable like him, why was she being so gentle and meticulous?
Ming Liuyi said, "It's a good thing we brought the chef from the old house. I'll let Xiao Fan personally supervise lunch and have it sent up."
At this, Yao Zizhou noticed that there was a warm and comfortable feeling in his stomach. He had not felt this way in a long time. So, she fed him… Why did she do that?
He was already in a vegetative state, what other reason would there be for her to put in such effort? Or, could it be that the salary was high?
At this moment, Yao Zizhou suddenly felt lucky that he was born into a rich family. If money could be used in exchange for a person's sincere treatment, he was willing to give up every penny.
Perhaps she was tired, for the female voice slowly quieted down, and the leg massage was finished. As the pair of gentle hands left, his consciousness also slowly faded away, and he fell into a deep sleep.
At this moment, Ming Liuyi was indeed tired and sleepy. She looked at the seat beside Yao Zizhou and wanted to lie down...
Although Yao Zizhou was like a doll at her mercy, Ming Liuyi always remembered his who he was--a decisive, cruel, and vicious male lead! She thought for a moment and promptly went to sleep in the guest room next door.
The housekeepers had already tidied up the guest room. Although it was not as luxurious as the master bedroom, there was enough space for her to be alone. This made Ming Liuyi instantly like this room. She changed into her pajamas and flopped face-down on the large bed. She would finally have a good night's sleep. However, not knowing how long she had slept, she suddenly felt her body temperature rise. Her throat was burning so much that it seemed to be smoking, and her lips were about to crack from the heat...
