C20 A Rare Gentleness

An hour later, Nie Sheng brought a doctor with blond hair and blue eyes. The doctor prescribed some medicine and instructed the nurses to prepare some hot porridge. He patted Qin Mujue's shoulder in relief. "Don't worry, she's in good condition!"

When the doctor was sent away, it was almost two o'clock in the morning. Qin Mujue felt a little tired, so he went to take a shower first. He was a little worried after he finished bathing, so he returned to Xia Tong's bedroom.

Under the warm light of the wall lamp, Xia Tong slept peacefully. Her long black hair covered half of her delicate and pretty face. Her thin chin was very charming. With such a weak body, how could she have such great courage to go against me like that?

Qin Mujue was suddenly curious. He went forward and lifted the blanket, laid down, and hugged her.

"Mom." Xia Tong, who was sleeping, seemed to have sensed something. She held his neck with her hand and wrapped it tightly around his body like a twisted dough twist.

"Mom, I'm in pain." Xia Tong moved her lips close to his mouth and muttered.

Qin Mujue froze for a moment, then he kissed her lips. He used a gentle way to open her teeth and taste all of her beauty. Then he hugged her even more tightly.

Qin Mujue closed his eyes and enjoyed the rare tranquility and gentleness between him and her.

The morning light penetrated through the gaps of the white gauze curtains and shone on a quiet and beautiful face.

Xia Tong woke up in this warmth. When she saw the tall man standing by the bed, her beautiful face immediately turned pale with fright.

She carefully rolled up the blanket and hid in the bed.

Qin Mujue ignored the deliberate vigilance in her eyes. He walked forward and asked with a rare good temper, "Do you want to eat something?"

"No need!" Xia Tong rejected it very straightforwardly.

Suppressing his anger, Qin Mujue said again, "You haven't eaten for three or four days, and you had a fever yesterday night. If you don't eat something, your body won't be able to take it."

"It's none of your business!" Xia Tong threw a pillow at him. "Get out!"

"Xia Tong!" Qin Mujue was angry. Seeing that she wanted to dodge, he quickly grabbed her ankle and pressed her down. "What exactly do you want?"

Xia Tong tried to break free but was unable to. She actually cried, feeling wronged. "I want to leave this place. I don't want to stay here anymore. Qin Mujue, can you let me go? I beg you."

Xia Tong's tears kept falling down like broken beads. She felt extremely wronged. Why was it her? She clearly did not do anything wrong. What had happened between them had nothing to do with her. Why did she have to suffer such humiliation and harm for no reason?

"Do you really want to leave so badly?" Qin Mujue paused for a moment and finally wiped away her tears.

Xia Tong nodded while sobbing.

"Okay." He got off the bed and said, "I'll let you go."

Xia Tong stopped crying and looked at him hesitantly. She seemed to not believe him. "Really?"

Qin Mujue opened the closet impatiently and took out a dark grey shirt. He put it on. "I will let you go, but the prerequisite is that you have to eat well, take your medicine seriously, and rest well."

Xia Tong kept nodding her head.

Qin Mujue took a handkerchief and wiped her dirty and messy face. He said with disgust, "Your face is so dirty. You wash your face first, then come out to eat."
