Capítulo 1067: Chapter 1068: Watching Without Helping

Looking at the splendid collection room, even Ruan Qiuting, who already liked Li Yuan, couldn’t help but be attracted by all the things in the room.

After searching for a long ti without finding last year’s photo album, Xia Xing suddenly rembered that she liked to arrange the most precious things from low to high in order, so that photo album should be on top?

Thinking of this, she raised her head and sure enough, saw a few photo albums placed on the topmost shelf.

Because the shelf was a good half her height taller, she had to move a chair over to barely reach.

Thinking back, her son had helped her put the photo album on the highest spot at the ti.

She brought over a chair, stood on it, and still couldn’t reach. In a flash, Xia Xing moved a small stool configured at the corner of the sofa over, stacking it on top of the chair, then turned her head to look at Ruan Qiuting, who was still engrossed in her own things.

Suddenly she rembered, if Yishan were the one standing there at this mont, she would definitely help her move the stool, get the chair, and wouldn’t be like Ruan Qiuting, absorbed in her own world.

The old lady always said she was very sensible, but after spending ti together, she found that Ruan Qiuting wasn’t that sensible after all.

Compared to the seemingly quiet Ruan Qiuting, she really preferred the unpretentious and honest Huo Yishan.

“Qiuting.”

Hearing her gentle voice, Ruan Qiuting, who was looking at things, turned her head.

Xia Xing smiled, “Could you co and hold this for ?”

Ruan Qiuting looked at the stacked chair and stool, nodded, “Okay.”

As she approached, Xia Xing climbed onto the chair, originally thinking that seeing her do this, the younger Ruan Qiuting would at least say, ‘Auntie, let do it,’ but she didn’t.

If it were Shanshan, she’d definitely rush to grab the things on top for her!

With her mind full of thoughts about Huo Yishan, and truth be told, standing so high made her legs a bit weak. But once she straightened up on top, she felt much better.

Finally finding that photo album, after verifying it, Xia Xing took it down.

And just as she lowered her right foot from the small stool, she accidentally missed her step, tilting her whole body backward—

“Ah!” she exclaid, instinctively grabbing the shelf to steady herself. However, the mont she pulled on it, the entire shelf toppled down!

Ruan Qiuting, who was still standing there, turned pale with fright at this perilous scene!

“Auntie…”

She intended to stretch out her hand to stop the falling shelf but for so reason, suddenly hesitated.

Thinking of these past days, how Xia Xing and Huo Yishan were inseparable, completely treating her as her future daughter-in-law, displaying a harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, Ruan Qiuting’s resentnt deepened, and her outstretched hand halted rcilessly. Watching Xia Xing fall with the shelf’s collapse, she didn’t rush to support or block the tilting shelf, but suddenly stepped back a few steps, watching wide-eyed as Xia Xing fell from the chair, then got struck by the heavy shelf…

When Xia Xing fell off the chair, she instinctively turned her head, hoping Ruan Qiuting would hold back the falling shelf, but at that turning mont, she saw her sudden retreat.

For a mont, Xia Xing thought she was hallucinating, until her body crashed heavily on the ground, and the montary pain made her realize it was real, not an illusion.

But why did Ruan Qiuting step back? She clearly could have stretched out her hand to block the shelf, couldn’t she?
