C182 He Was Not a Big Man but His Temper Was Not Small Either
As Mu Jiao'en spoke, her entire body trembled, as if she would collapse in the next second.
Mu Shucheng looked at her and squatted down with a frown. He held Mu Jiao'en's shoulder and spoke word by word.
"You are still the same as before. You have not changed! We will still treat you like family. You have always been very confident and independent, and you have always been full of hope for life. None of us will leave you, we will always stay by your side! Even if someone leaves, you must learn to be strong. In this world, no one is reliable, you can only rely on yourself!"
As soon as Mu Shucheng finished speaking, Mu Jiao'en threw herself into his arms and tightly grabbed his clothes. Her voice was choked with sobs.
"Shucheng... I... I..."
Because of her choking, she was unable to speak for a moment.
Luo Xue stood outside the door and looked at him. She felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She had a feeling of being deceived and also felt like she had ruined other people's good things.
She quietly returned to the ward and looked at the ceiling in a daze. Her mind was filled with images of Mu Shucheng and Mu Jiao'en hugging each other.
Mu Jiao'en said that she had given up, but she also said those words to Mu Shucheng. Then why did she marry Han Guan?
Because she did not understand, she felt even more irritated.
Not long after Luo Xue returned to her room, Du Bin walked in with a lunchbox in his hand.
Luo Xue took a look and saw that it was the same as what Mu Shucheng gave Mu Jiao'en. She looked annoyed but Du Bin would definitely not leave if she did not eat. She simply took a few bites and laid down on the bed to sleep.
...
After Mu Shucheng left Mu Jiao'en's room, he originally wanted to go back to see Luo Xue, but he suddenly received news from Ling Jue that the ancient jade Mu Jiao'en had been looking for had appeared in the black market.
Without thinking, Mu Shucheng drove straight to Ling Jue's place. That piece of ancient jade was very important to Mu Jiao'en and was a family heirloom of the Cheng family. She had been asking Mu Shucheng to look for it.
Mu Shucheng had been searching diligently for many years. Now he finally had some clues. He must go and take a look.
The night was getting deeper and deeper. Luo Xue laid sideways on the bed and looked at the empty single bed by the window. She could not say what it felt like.
The bed sheets were unusually smooth and there was not a single wrinkle on them. The blanket was folded neatly by the side and the pillow was neatly pressed on the blanket.
Luo Xue looked at it and a face with proper facial features appeared in her mind. That appearance, if it was not Mu Shucheng, who else could it be?
She fiercely bit her lips and sat up.
She patted the nurse's sensor as if she was venting her anger and just sat there blankly with her arms around her legs.
In less than a minute, the nurse on duty ran in. When she saw Luo Xue sitting and not lying down, she asked in a hurry.
"Is Miss Luo not feeling well?"
Luo Xue adjusted her mood and quietly said, "Withdraw that bed for me."
Nurse followed Luo Xue's line of sight and looked over. They were all personally chosen by Faang Yuze. Naturally, they knew about the relationship between Mu Shucheng and Luo Xue. He said embarrassingly, "Director Mu did not say to withdraw."
Luo Xue curled her lips.
"He will not come over tonight if he has something to do. Withdraw. There is an empty bed in the room and looking at it makes me feel uncomfortable."
Nurse thought for a while and finally nodded.
The bed was removed and Luo Xue was still inexplicably upset. Thinking that he should be in Mu Jiao'en's room tonight to accompany Mu Jiao'en, she could not help but sneer. She did not know if it was self-deprecating.
The darker the night, the brighter the moon outside. Previously Luo Xue liked the moon very much but she only felt that the moon tonight was especially dazzling.
She got off the bed and pulled down the curtains, then returned to the bed.
Unable to sleep and feeling thirsty, she sat up to drink water. The water was picked up by herself, but after drinking a mouthful, she directly spat it out... It was hard to drink!
Once again, he lay down agitatedly. Like a fried dough stick, he flipped over and over on the bed.
Luo Xue finally understood what was called... What was annoying about looking?
Since she really could not sleep, she did not insist and opened her big round eyes and let her imagination run wild.
"Kacha -"
The door suddenly opened and someone walked in.
The voice was very soft, as if it was afraid of disturbing Luo Xue's sleep.
Feeling the familiar aura slowly approaching, Luo Xue's originally round and bulging eyes quickly closed.
Her breathing was as stable as possible, pretending to be asleep.
Mu Shucheng looked at Luo Xue who was lying sideways and carefully loosened his tie. He took off his coat and placed it on the back of the chair. Then he went to the bathroom to wash his face. After tidying up, he walked to Luo Xue's bedside, laid down, and hugged her from behind.
He closed his eyes, his face full of satisfaction... It was as if this was the harbor where his soul was relaxed.
But just as he closed his eyes, he opened them again, because he could feel that Luo Xue's heartbeat was not normal.
One hand lightly supported his head and the other hand caressed Luo Xue's face. His movements were extremely gentle.
"Did I disturb you?" Mu Shucheng suddenly opened his mouth and spoke in a low voice.
Wet and hot air sprayed all over Luo Xue's face.
Seeing that she could not continue pretending, Luo Xue immediately sat up. Her speed was so fast that Mu Shucheng did not even have time to react.
"Who told you to lie on my bed?"
She pouted her lips, her face full of impatience.
"Hmm?"
Mu Shucheng looked confused. Seeing Luo Xue's attitude, she must be angry, but he really did not remember when he offended her.
Mu Shucheng thought, Could it be that I really agreed to that sentence? I have nothing better to do, so I have a temper?
"You take my bed away. If I don't sleep here, where should I sleep?"
Luo Xue used her temper, but Mu Shucheng was not angry.
Luo Xue glanced at him.
"Sleep wherever you want!"
Luo Xue sat down while Mu Shucheng was lying down. He had no intention of getting up.
"Then I like sleeping here."
"Mu Shucheng, are you annoyed? "
Luo Xue frowned, as if she was really angry.
Mu Shucheng sat up and tilted his head to look at Luo Xue's face. He smiled and said,
"He is not a big person and his temper is not small."
After saying that, he took off the coat on the back of the chair and put it on Luo Xue.
"Tell me, who made you angry?"
Luo Xue pursed her lips and originally wanted to throw the clothes down for him, but sitting there was cold, so she bit her lips.
"No one messed with me!"
After saying that, she pouted again.
Mu Shucheng smiled.
"No one has ever provoked you to raise your little mouth so high?"
Luo Xue blushed. "You either go back to sleep or move your single bed in."
Mu Shucheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo Xue devilishly.
"It can't be that I came late and was unhappy, right? I can't sleep without me by my side?"
Luo Xue's face was extremely red, "Can you not disturb my rest?"
Mu Shucheng smiled and looked at Luo Xue for a long while before nodding. "I'll listen to you." After saying that, he walked out.
Just as Mu Shucheng left, his phone lit up. Luo Xue glanced sideways and saw that it was Mu Jiao'en who sent it.
When she saw it, her eyebrows knitted even tighter.
When Mu Shucheng came back again, Luo Xue was already lying down with her eyes closed, as if she had fallen asleep.
She stretched the single bed in her hand to the original position and walked to Luo Xue's side to help cover her with the blanket. Then she took the phone and turned off the lights in the room and laid down on the bed again.
