Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 955: Chapter 955: Finally Laying the Cards on the Table

When Bai Xiao woke up, An Zhiyuan was leaning against her shoulder, his gentle breaths brushing against her skin. It tickled, warm with his unique temperature. His body temperature was always much higher than hers, like a furnace—a difference, perhaps, between men and women.

Isn’t this the so-called masculine energy?

She secretly took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and pressed her lips together, her heartbeat and skin’s warmth shifting with the rhythm of his breathing.

Suppressing a smile, she thought to herself that she’d seemingly evaded scrutiny last night.

Yet the puzzling part was, in her experience, An Zhiyuan was never one to linger in bed. His biological clock was practically more accurate than an alarm. But today, why was he still here?

Gently pulling aside the quilt, she slid closer, her face pressing against his chest. His body really was so wonderfully comfortable.

Then she heard a soft chuckle from above her head.

She didn’t even look up to tell that this man had probably been awake for a while, pretending to sleep.

"Is it fun? What’s the point of pretending to sleep?"

Bai Xiao poked his firm chest muscle and interrogated him, finding his behavior annoyingly deserving of a lesson.

Unable to restrain herself, she lifted her head, only to see him staring at her with an indelibly intense gaze.

"Did you sleep well? If you’ve rested, we should do some exercise—it’s good for improving marital intimacy."

The comfort of being close to each other on the large bed was too delightful to end, making neither of them want to break from this beautiful moment.

The irresistible entanglement between them led to both giving their all until nearly exhausted.

.........

As the morning sun rose, casting rays of light across the sky, Bai Xiao stepped out of the house. The moment she walked out, her eyes took in the stunning expanse of sky. Surrounded by vibrant colors, she felt enveloped in an intense brilliance.

They hadn’t overslept at all because they had woken up too early.

Bai Xiao had gone to bed unusually early last night.

The serene tranquility of the morning calmed her. Setting aside her plans to freshen up and tidy the house, she quietly strode towards the grass in the yard, her senses absorbing the vivid splendor of a new day.

The long grass blanketing the ground was tinged with spring, while the morning dew gleamed like diamonds atop the blades.

All around were clusters of flowers—lush blue, pink, and purple blooms interspersed with vibrant yellow blossoms. The deep red clover flowers swayed in the breeze, enticing diligent bees to harvest nectar.

These were the fruits of the pair’s laborious efforts. Everything now had taken shape.

Not even the cold could stop these flowers from flourishing.

She wandered leisurely among the array of blossoms, the dew dampening the hem of her dress. She barely noticed that her skirt below the knees had gotten wet—or if she had, she wouldn’t have minded.

Such exquisite scenery deserved appreciation; chores would always be there, but this morning’s sunrise wouldn’t come again.

Above her, the sky gradually transitioned from a translucent pink to a milky white, finally radiating into a golden orb—the sun fully risen, illuminating the grassy expanse.

Sparrows chirped and perched on the yard’s wall, their tiny heads tilting while their beady black eyes studied Bai Xiao.

An Zhiyuan stood at the doorway, leaning diagonally against the frame. A peculiar light flickered in his eyes, his facial muscles rigid.

He stood motionless, his tall and robust figure rooted in place, his gaze unwaveringly fixed on her.

She, surrounded by the flowers beside the lawn, turned towards him, her face glowing like the radiant morning sun.

He had never seen her like this before, all her defenses shed—just a joyous woman illuminated by dawn’s embrace.

Her blissful expression suddenly made him feel that the days Bai Xiao had urged him to plant these flowers were unquestionably worth it.

As the sun rose higher, Bai Xiao finally returned inside the house. During this rare vacation, they planned to tidy up the home. Her role as a wife, often lacking in domestic effort, called for her to attend to housework this time.

Yet she was surprised to find that An Zhiyuan had already emerged from the kitchen carrying breakfast. The bedsheets and duvet covers had already been replaced and tossed into the washing machine, and the entire house was spotless.

"Come eat. What are you standing around for?"

He called out to her.

Bai Xiao froze in place! She was being far too casual—she shouldn’t treat An Zhiyuan this way.

"You fell asleep last night, but we haven’t finished our conversation. What do you want to do? I thought we had agreed to protect the secret between you and me—that’s what we need to do. Now you’ve chosen to go into surgery. Are you aware of the consequences that might arise? You should know better."

Mealtime wasn’t meant for talking, but if he didn’t voice his concerns now, Bai Xiao might come up with some other caprice later—against which he had virtually no defenses, always surrendering quickly. So it was better to talk now.

"It’s different now. I guarantee that no one will discover this. I’ve already found a way to use new techniques—on mechanical tools, even on every item I want to transform. Remember the landmines and the jade from Myanmar? That was because I altered their intrinsic properties. Now it seems I can manipulate even more and apply it in new areas, achieving diverse outcomes.

When performing surgical procedures, I don’t use it directly on patients but on the surgical instruments instead. The results appear the same but function differently. Everyone only sees the quality of my surgeries.

I want to be a doctor who heals and saves lives—I want to help more people. In the past, I was afraid because I couldn’t control it well enough. But now, I can integrate it fully into myself and do what I’m capable of. I want to uphold the spirit of benevolence in medicine. noveldrama

Zhiyuan, I’m truly different now! No one will find out—I promise. That’s also why I’ve chosen surgery now, as it allows me to access more patients. I can’t expect those with hand ailments to come to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department—that would be far too shocking."

After hearing her impassioned words, Bai Xiao’s eyes sparkled brightly. And what could An Zhiyuan say?

He hadn’t expected that things could be changed like this. If it truly was as she claimed, then perhaps it was the best transformation.

Bai Xiao was a doctor. If she could transition to a more suitable role without exposing her secret while still saving lives, then why shouldn’t she pursue it?

"I only hope you’ll prioritize yourself more whenever you act. I’m very selfish—selfish enough to wish for us to be together for a lifetime."

The words left unsaid by An Zhiyuan were: if there truly came a day when Bai Xiao couldn’t control the situation anymore, he would go against the entire world for her.
