C12 He Stayed Behind

"Push me into the bathroom."

Mu Shengchen's indifferent voice rang passed Ning Qianyu's ears and brought her back to reality. She then walked towards the sink and run her hands under the water then pushed Mu Shengchen into the bathroom.

After filling up the water in the bathtub, Ning Qianyu stood in front of the bathtub, not knowing what to do.

The bathroom was not very spacious, to begin with, therefore, when both of them were in the bathroom, it became crowded and it was filled with awkwardness.

"Get out." Mu Shengchen ordered coldly.

"Alright…" After Ning Qianyu finally understood what Mu Shengchen said and immediately left the bathroom.

Later when she left the bathroom, the sound of running water came from inside. She blushed, feeling the heat growing on her cheeks, and waited for him outside the bathroom, afraid that Mu Shengchen would call out to her at any moment.

Unfortunately, she had overthought. Mu Shengchen did not call out to her even until the bathroom door opened.

When Mu Shengchen came out of the bathroom, his hair was still wet and the water was dripping down his delicate face to his tan skin then soaked into the towel around his waist. The towel was rather long and covered his entire thigh, so Ning Qianyu could not see the injury on his thigh.

He had a perfect body figure and a healthy complexion too. He did not look as skinny as he was in his clothes.

"Young Master Mu, the weather is cold. I'll go get your clothes." Ning Qianyu gulped her saliva and left the living room as if she was fleeing.

Looking at Ning Qianyu reaction, a faint smile appeared on Mu Shengchen's poker face. He then controlled the wheelchair and went after her.

Ning Qianyu ran into a bedroom that she thought was Mu Shengchen's and opened the cabinet.

The clothes were arranged neatly in the cabinet, the top part of the shelf was filled with undergarments, the middle part was all the well-ironed shirt, and the bottom part was hung with Mu Shengchen's suits.

Staring at his undergarments, Ning Qianyu blushed, feeling the heat growing in her cheeks. For a moment, she was hesitating whether to take it or not.

Suddenly, Mu Shengchen's voice sounded from behind, "My pajamas are in the cabinet next to that."

Ning Qianyu turned around anxiously and saw Mu Shengchen staring at her with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

The indifferent Young Master Mu actually knew how to mock others too? She must have been seeing things, Ning Qianyu then rubbed her eyes and looked at Mu Shengchen, who was sitting in front of the bed. His eyes and face were still indifferent as usual, indeed she did see it wrongly.

Ning Qianyu heaved a sigh of relief, her gaze once again stopped on the top layer of the cabinet. Was it not just a man's undergarment? It was not like she had never seen before. She told herself to take down the undergarment from the top part of the cabinet and then took a thicker pajama from the closet next to it.

Ning Qianyu hesitated for some time and finally stuffed the robe and the undergarment into Mu Shengchen's hands. "You should do this yourself." With that, she ran out of the room and sat on the couch in the living room. Her heart was pounding out her chest, and her face was burning hot.

She patted her cheeks to remind herself, Ning Qianyu, you're too timid. You actually blushed because of this. Do you think that you were still a pure and innocent little girl?

"After assistant Ye come back, I'll go to visit mom in the hospital." Ning Qianyu sighed, picked up the bag with a coat in it from the sofa, and prepared to send it to Mu Shengchen's room.

Just as he walked to the door and was about to knock on it, she heard Mu Shengchen's voice coming from the room.

"What's the matter, Ye Xi?"

Ning Qianyu was slightly taken aback as she eavesdropped their converstion carefully.

It turned out to be Ye Xi calling. Jing Rui told him to do something and would not be coming back tonight.

"Okay, got it," With the sound of the wheelchair rubbing against the floor, Ning Qianyu knew that Mu Shengchen had hung up the phone. She immediately knocked on the door to prevent Mu Shengchen finding out that she was eavesdropping.

When she opened the door, Mu Shengchen stared at her with an indifferent gaze. Ning Qianyu raised the bag with her hands, "I'll put the clothes in the closet."

Mu Shengchen nodded indifferently and moved his wheelchair into the living room, sitting on the sofa then switched on the TV.

After hanging up his coats back in the closet, Ning Qianyu returned to the living room. Due to Mu Shengchen's presence, she seemed to be slightly cautious.

Mu Shengchen was originally watching the Finance and Economics channel, then he switched to another channel which was playing an idol drama, 'Love O2O'.

Ning Qianyu was soon captivated by the love between Bei Weiwei and Xiao Nai in the TV series, causing her to forget about her cautiousness too.

Both of them sat on each side of the couch, quietly enjoying the TV series. Even Mu Shengchen himself felt strange that he could stay with her for three hours watching drama without moving.

Ning Qianyu yawned, feeling slightly sleepy, yet Ye Xi still had not returned.

Mu Shengchen moved his body uncomfortably, as if he had been leaning on the sofa for too long.

"Do you want to sit up?" Ning Qianyu reached out her hand to help Mu Shengchen, but she was afraid that he would push her away again.

"Ehm! I want some water," Mu Shengchen reached out naturally to grab her wrist and moved from the couch onto the wheelchair.

After Mu Shengchen sat on the wheelchair, Ning Qianyu went to the kitchen to pour him a glass of water.

Then, Ning Qianyu passed the glass of water to Mu Shengchen and whispered, "Is assistant Ye coming back tonight?"

"He doesn't live here," Mu Shengchen put down the cup on the tea table, looking at the clock hanging on the wall, realizing it was already 11 pm.

"Don't go back to the hospital tonight."

"Huh?" Ning Qianyu stupefied, staring at Mu Shengchen, not understanding what he meant.

"Your room is ready, right next to mine," After saying that, Mu Shengchen moved his wheelchair and left, leaving Ning Qianyu alone.

A wry smile appeared on Ning Qianyu's face, snickered at her strange reaction. They were already husband and wife, it was natural for her to sleep at his place. It was just that she did not bring any change of clothes with her to change.

Just as she was worrying, Mu Shengchen opened his room's door again, holding a shirt in his hand, "This shirt is brand new. Wear it for now. I'll call Ye Xi later and ask him to get you a new one tomorrow."

Ning Qianyu then took over the silky shirt with a blushing face and went into the bathroom.

When Ning Qianyu came out of the bathroom and passed by the study, she noticed that there was light coming from the gap in the door.

After some time of hesitation, she entered the kitchen and brought a glass of milk when she came out.

She anxiously stood in front of the study room's door and knocked on it.

Mu Shengchen's soft and mellow voice sounded from inside, "Come in."

She opened the door and entered. At that time, he was looking down at a document, seemed as if he was making some notes or maybe frowning in contemplation.

He looked up as Ning Qianyu placed the milk on his desk.

Her wet hair was scattered all over her shoulders, wearing a large shirt that just long enough to cover up her thighs, emphasizing her fair slender legs even more so.

Ning Qianyu originally intended to leave after putting down the milk. She did not mind just wearing a shirt but when she saw Mu Shengchen gazed at her from head to toe, she blushed immediately, "Young Master Mu, drink a glass of milk before you work."

After that, she ran out of Mu Shengchen's study as fast as she could, rushed into her own room, and closed the door. She leaned against the door, feeling her heart pounding off her chest. Only after some time, she then calmed down.

"Ning Qianyu, you're really overthinking," Ning Qianyu laughed self-deprecatingly then climbing into the bed. She was exhausted, therefore, she fell asleep as soon as she lied on the bed.
