Chapter 2034: Concealment

Quickly switch the topic to the two rabbits.

At this time, the Old Lady is practicing calligraphy in the study. Bo Yanching just finished keeping her company and isn’t in a hurry to go back. He leads Nan Jiaojiao, carrying Qianqian on a walk.

From the first-floor window, Song Yuan jealously watches this image of a seemingly family of three, her gums clenched tightly, and her palms full of fingernail marks.

Why does she deserve it!

She, who has received over twenty years of high-end education, can’t even compete with a village girl who was thrown into the countryside as a child.

Bo Yanching must be blind to be so devoted to such a person!

“Miss Song, your injury isn’t too serious. After a few more days, you won’t need to lean on the crutches to stand or walk. Shall I remove the gauze for you? Keeping the wound covered with it might actually slow down the recovery.”

Song Yuan shifted her leg slightly, avoiding the doctor’s hand. She looked up with a smile, “Really? I’m recovering so well, but I still feel a lot of pain, especially at night. It hurts so much that I can’t sleep. I’m not sure why, perhaps I’ve accumulated too many old injuries from years of acting.”

The doctor deduced from her dodging movement that her leg was already healed, and she stood up without changing her expression, “Does Miss Song still want to sit in the wheelchair?”

“I’m used to it during this time, so I can’t quit for now. Let’s not remove the gauze either; I’m afraid that exposing the wound to air might be bad. I’ll let you know when I’m ready to adapt, okay?”

The doctor remained indifferent; she was simply offering advice from a medical standpoint. What the patient decides is not really her concern, “Then it’s up to Miss Song. If you feel any discomfort, you can contact Auntie Wu, and she will notify me.”

Song Yuan gently pinched the wheelchair’s handle, testing, “Why can’t I contact you directly? Why don’t you give me your contact information? Auntie Wu needs to care for Grandmother every day, so she’s not always available. I feel bad bothering her constantly.”

The doctor was unmoved, “My job is to serve the Old Madam and the Bo Family’s young masters and missus. I don’t take private requests. The Old Madam requested, so I came to help treat Miss Song. You don’t need to contact me directly; just go through Auntie Wu.”

What an oblivious person, stuck in his ways!

Song Yuan had prepared some money, intending to bribe him, but hearing his words, she was glad she hadn’t taken it out earlier. Otherwise, if it reached the Old Lady’s ears, it would have a different meaning.

“That’s the case, so it wouldn’t be good to force you. I want to ask you, can you hide my leg injury from Grandmother for now?”

The doctor looked at her.

Song Yuan smiled with curved eyes, but her mouth was rigid, and her gaze held detachment and warning, “I don’t want my grandmother to worry. She’s getting on in years and always strains herself over us juniors; it doesn’t sit right with me. When I’m better, I want to tell her myself and give her a surprise. I’d appreciate it if the doctor could comply with this small request.”

The doctor neither agreed nor refused.

But he turned around and reported the matter unchanged to the Old Lady.

“This Miss Song indeed has ulterior motives, what’s the use in hiding from you.”

After the doctor left, Auntie Wu couldn’t help but complain.

Old Lady Bo holding the brush, “Let her do as she pleases; we’ll just keep an eye from the side. It’s not like she can cause any waves; Xiao San knows the limits and won’t bother with her.”

“Indeed, our Third Young Master is completely under the Young Madam’s thumb…”

Auntie Wu suddenly realized she had said something wrong and quickly held her tongue. In wealthy families, it’s especially forbidden to discuss the masters, particularly someone like Bo Yanching, the head of the family, who shouldn’t be talked about so carelessly — to say he’s entirely under a woman’s control!
