Chapter 67: 067: Spending the rest of her life with a robot If she owned such a robot, she wouldn’t even need a boyfriend. She could spend the rest of her life with the robot.
There would be no betrayal or coercion, only pure obedience!
“Can you make another robot like this one?” Jing Qian asked.
“Do you think that a handicapped person like me, who’s paralyzed from the neck below, would be able to produce this robot?”
Although it’s true that this robot was produced by him after he became a quadriplegic, he didn’t know why but these words of despair and worthlessness once again came out of his mouth while he was with Jing Qian.
Zhan Lichuan instantly regretted saying them.
However, when he felt remorse, he didn’t understand why he regretted it.
It was true that he was just a useless, paralyzed man.
However, Jing Qian wasn’t even affected by what he said. She replied in a casual tone, “It’s just temporary that you’ve lost your motor functions. You’ll get better. Don’t be too caught up about it. Life is never going to be smooth sailing all the time and there are always going to be bad things happening to us. We’ll just have to overcome it and everything will get better soon.”
When she said this, she was actually thinking of her own past.
As she looked back, she had the looks, the fame, the power, and the fortune. She already had everything, but she still felt as if she was living in a deep, dark hole and her entire world was grey and hopeless.
The hopeless feeling that she felt was probably similar to what Zhan Lichuan was feeling right now.
Therefore, for someone like Jing Qian, who never really cared about her patient’s feelings, this was miraculously the first time that she had ever comforted her patient.
When he heard what Jing Qian said, a ripple formed in the peaceful waters that were usually seen in Zhan Lichuan’s deep, dark eyes.
He thought about how Jing Qian had given him a targeted massage yesterday, along with what she did to save his life this morning. His sixth sense even felt a sense of anticipation because of what she said. It was something that had never occurred ever since he became paralyzed.
He always felt that the reason why she could casually say things like, “Your loss of motion is just temporary,” was because this was her true intention. It wasn’t said to him as words of comfort.
Zhan Lichuan looked at the girl whose eyes were now glued on the robot. She was looking at the robot with undisguised passion and eagerness.
“You really like it?”
This was the first time that Zhan Lichuan spoke to Jing Qian.
“En,” Jing Qian nodded with undisguised possessiveness.
“Once I’ve recovered and I can start walking, I’ll make you another one that’s better than this”
Jing Qian’s eyes shuddered, and her beautiful peach-blossom eyes were glistening; it was as if they were filled with stars.
“You promise?!”
“I won’t go back on my words.”
The two of them came to a tacit agreement.
Initially, she thought that since she was occupying Jing Qian’s body, she should at least do something for her ‘boss.’ She had planned to only leave after successfully treating Zhan Lichuan, and she never thought of asking for anything from the Zhan family.
But now, she would be getting the robot that she always wanted and it was something that she wouldn’t be able to buy anywhere else in this world. Jing Qian felt that she was the one who made a profit from this deal.
In fact, even if Zhan Lichuan didn’t offer, she would also have made a business deal with him, intending to buy the robot after his recovery.
As for the ‘mistress hunting’ business this morning… Both of them tactfully kept quiet about it.
From Jing Qian’s point of view, she felt that there wasn’t a need for her to explain herself to Zhan Lichuan since she was only here to counteract his bad luck.
