Caught in a chaotic situation, she is doted on by six villainous sons.

Chapter 21 Never touched her

Shaking his head in surprise and uncertainty, Wei Xifeng took a step back. The next second, he saw his father's face again. His father's eyes were cold and sinister, looking at him with extreme disdain and devoid of emotion. "Useless thing."

As Wei Xifeng retreated again, his entire world went dark. Everyone around him stared at him, but no one could see their faces clearly; all that remained were a pair of sinister eyes and a ferocious mouth.

They were all laughing loudly, their expressions incredibly evil and terrifying.

Wei Xifeng was sweating profusely, painfully covering his ears, his body hunched over and trembling.

Just then, a hand touched his head and rubbed it. Wei Xifeng slowly raised his head, and the moment he saw Jiang Liwu, the darkness around him instantly disappeared and the scene returned to normal.

Jiang Liwu: "Stay close, don't get lost."

Wei Xifeng's eyes were red-rimmed, his gaze trembled, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he made a sound like a wild beast cub.

Jiang Liwu rubbed his head again, "It's okay."

This time, Wei Xifeng clung tightly to Jiang Liwu's clothes. At 188 cm tall, he was a towering figure beside Jiang Liwu, twice the size of her, yet he clung to her like a child, fragile and dependent.

……

"Yi Ran, how are things going with Wei Xifeng?"

Qiao Yiran was sitting by the hospital bed feeding her mother porridge when she heard her mother ask this question. She was taken aback. "What do you mean, how is it? What else can it be? It's just like that." Qiao Yiran lowered her head. The porridge was no longer hot, but she stirred it more often. Her voice seemed indifferent, but it contained a dull meaning.

Upon seeing this, Qiao's mother immediately sensed something was wrong. "Yiran, is there something going on between you and Wei Xifeng?"

Thinking of Jiang Liwu's sudden appearance, Wei Xifeng's special treatment of Jiang Liwu, and Baer's closeness to Jiang Liwu, Qiao Yiran felt agitated. She chopped the already mushy porridge with a spoon, "No, Mom, don't ask anymore."

"How can I not ask you? You've been with Wei Xifeng for three years without any official status, and he's never said he wanted to marry you?" Qiao's mother was extremely anxious.

Qiao Yiran's eyes widened, and she stood up instantly. "What do you mean, no name or status? Mom, what are you talking about? Wei Xifeng and I aren't what you think." Qiao Yiran stomped her foot and bit her lip, but the words Wei Xifeng had said about marrying her still lingered in her mind. She felt extremely embarrassed, and her face turned red to the roots of her ears.

Although she appeared resistant, her eyes were glistening with moisture.

"It's not what I think? Haven't you and Wei Xifeng done anything intimate yet?" Qiao's mother became even more anxious.

Qiao Yiran blushed even more, feeling embarrassed and angry. "Mom, what are you saying?!" However, Wei Xifeng had indeed never touched her. He had always forced her to do things she didn't like, forced her to accompany him, imposed many rules, restricted her freedom, and when he had an attack and turned into a monster, he would scare her to tears every time…

Even if Wei Xifeng really wanted to touch her, she wouldn't agree. She wasn't the kind of person who would sell her body to please someone with her looks.

Although she was no longer the eldest daughter of the Qiao family and was indeed kept in the villa by Wei Xifeng like a caged bird, she still had her own pride and self-respect.

"Oh dear, my silly girl." Qiao's mother was so anxious she was about to explode with anger. But then she thought about it again and realized that the fact that Wei Xifeng had been able to refrain from touching Qiao Yiran for three years was precisely proof that he cherished and loved her dearly, which was why he wouldn't just touch her casually.

With some difficulty, Qiao's mother took Qiao Yiran's hand and said, "Yiran, you must seize Wei Xifeng's opportunity to become the mistress of the Wei family."

Qiao Yiran pouted, "I don't care about being the mistress of the Wei family."

Qiao's mother: "Even if not for your own sake, you should think about your father."

"You want me to beg Wei Xifeng?" Qiao Yiran frowned, a feeling of resistance rising within her. She didn't want to be so humble and pathetic in front of Wei Xifeng. "But Dad committed a crime..."

Qiao's mother interrupted her, "Even if he committed a terrible crime, he's still your father. Your father only went astray because he wanted you to live a more luxurious life. Yi Ran, can you bear not to save your father and let him suffer in prison for the rest of his life?" Qiao's mother's eyes were filled with tears, "I don't have much time left. My only wish is to see your father before I die, and for our family to be reunited."

Hearing this, Qiao Yiran felt a pang of sorrow in her heart, and her eyes immediately reddened. She tightly grasped her mother's old and thin hand, saying, "Mom, don't say that. I promise you, I will go and beg Wei Xifeng."

Just then, there was a knock on the ward door. The mother and daughter were startled for a moment, but they both composed themselves. On the third knock, someone pushed the door open and entered.

Qiao Yiran called out with a voice full of reliance and trust, "Brother Min."

With a warm smile on her face, Qiao's mother greeted him familiarly, "Xiao Xuan, you're here."

Min Baixuan nodded politely, his gaze first falling on Qiao Yiran. Seeing the person he hadn't seen in a long time made his heart tremble, and then he restrained himself and shifted his gaze to Qiao's mother. "Auntie, I'm here to give you a medical check-up."

"Is it really just for me to get a medical check-up? Didn't I already have one today?" Mrs. Qiao asked, her tone slightly sarcastic.

Min Baixuan's earlobes instantly flushed red. "Yes, they have been checked, but I'd be more at ease if they were checked more thoroughly. After all, I'm your attending physician, and I have a responsibility to you."

"Auntie, you look great today."

Mrs. Qiao: "..." It was because I was in a hurry just now.

"That's all because you took such good care of him. Xiao Xuan, you became an attending physician at such a young age, not even thirty. You're tall and handsome, and you're gentle and patient. Any family's daughter who can marry you would be incredibly lucky." Qiao's mother looked at Min Baixuan with a smile, full of satisfaction for her son-in-law.

Meeting Qiao's mother's gaze, which seemed to be one of approval, Min Baixuan couldn't contain his excitement. He took even better care of her. "Auntie, I'm not as good as you say. Your praise makes me blush. I'm almost thirty. I just hope the girl who marries me in the future won't look down on me."

"If anyone looks down on you, it's because they have no taste. I just think you're really good, Xiao Xuan, and you're a very genuine person."

These words greatly encouraged Min Baixuan, and in a moment of impulsiveness, he blurted out, "Auntie, actually I..."

Qiao's mother's eyelids twitched, and she interrupted him, covering her head, "I suddenly feel a little sleepy and want to rest."

Min Baixuan was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and helped Qiao's mother lie down slowly. Qiao Yiran also came to the other side of the bed to help.

The two carefully helped Qiao's mother up, and their hands accidentally touched each other.
