C140 Unconcealable Pain

Just as he was about to reach for his phone, Ling Muxue suddenly opened her eyes wide. Her eyes were filled with unconcealable fear, and her chest was still rising and falling. The tears at the corners of her eyes were still flowing down and she was breathing heavily.

"Xue'er, what happened to you?" Xiao Qinghan looked at her anxiously.

Ling Muxue's gaze turned to Xiao Qinghan. Suddenly, Ling Muxue reached out and held Xiao Qinghan's neck, burying her head in his chest.

Xiao Qinghan's body froze for a moment, and he felt an indescribable joy. He held her in his arms and patted her back, asking softly, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Ling Muxue leaned into his arms and her breathing quickened as she hummed in acknowledgement.

"It's done! Everything is fine! It's just a dream. With me by your side, don't be afraid!" He patted her back gently and comforted her. He really didn't know what kind of dream could cause her to be in so much pain.

The next day, Ling Muxue slowly opened her eyes until nine o'clock in the morning. Her mind was still filled with the nightmare from yesterday.

She actually dreamt of Gu Shaochen screaming in pain in the raging fire. She wanted to run over and save him.

But there were thorns around her, and she could not move at all, and the thorns continued to grow and suck her blood, and the vines grew green and lush leaves as they drank her blood, and black roses that pierced her soul.

"You're awake! Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? "A gentle voice sounded.

Ling Muxue looked at Xiao Qinghan, who was already fully dressed, and shook her head expressionlessly.

Xiao Qinghan picked her up and sat on the edge of the bed. He picked up the pink bra and was about to put it on her when Ling Muxue raised her hand to stop him. Her face was red. "I'll do it myself."

Xiao Qinghan smiled and leaned over to kiss her on the forehead, gently stroking her cheek and looking at her: "From now on, let me dress my wife!"

Ling Muxue was stunned when she heard this. She looked up at Xiao Qinghan. What did he mean?

Xiao Qinghan looked at her stunned expression and smiled lightly. He said gently, "Wife, don't forget, we have already gotten the certificate."

If Xiao Qinghan did not say it, Ling Muxue seemed to have already forgotten about it.

Xiao Qinghan carefully put it on for Ling Muxue. She wore a thin white sweater and a light yellow dress, making her look slim and slender.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Xiao Qinghan picked up a cotton swab and smeared it with medicine. He squatted down on one knee and gently wiped the wound on her knee. When the medicine entered the wound, Ling Muxue subconsciously pulled her leg back.

Xiao Qinghan's hand suddenly stopped moving, and his eyes narrowed. He continued to apply the medicine and finally put on the band-aid. He stood up and kissed Ling Muxue on the forehead. "I'm so sorry!"

Ling Muxue's pupils dilated and her heart skipped a beat. He actually apologized to her, and the arrogant man apologized to her.

Xiao Qinghan held an exquisite and expensive comb in his hand and slowly combed Ling Muxue's hair.

"Wife, your hair is really long." As he spoke, there was an indescribable dazed look in his eyes. However, when he combed through his hair, a few strands of hair fell down along the comb, and he focused his eyes on the falling strands of hair.

Xiao Qinghan put the comb on the dresser as if he was afraid that it would be broken. He did not continue to comb it. He reached out and brought the gift box to Ling Muxue. He opened it and a purple gemstone necklace appeared in front of her.

Ling Muxue frowned. The purple light reflected in her glass-like eyes was even more beautiful than the gem. Her calm heart still trembled slightly. This was the first time he had given her a gift since they got married.

"Do you like it?" He lowered his head and asked in her ear.

Ling Muxue looked at him but did not say anything.

Xiao Qinghan did not continue to ask any further questions. He picked up the gem necklace and put it on her. He gently lifted the lock on her back.

The purple gem necklace shone with a beautiful light between her beautiful collarbone. It was a perfect combination of temperament, as if this necklace would only release its beauty on her.

"It's so beautiful!" Xiao Qinghan looked at the beautiful and noble Ling Muxue in the mirror and praised without hiding anything.

Then he lifted Ling Muxue and placed her on his lap. He lifted her fair and slender fingers and placed them on his palm. He lowered his head and kissed her lightly. He looked up at her and said, "From now on, you will be my beautiful and noble queen. As long as you want it, I will give it to you."

He watched the light in Ling Muxue's eyes as if it came from ancient times. It was a long-standing shock, and it carried with it a magic that seemed to want to suck a person's soul away.

Ling Muxue could not help but admit that her heart was truly shaken at this moment. She had been telling herself not to be bewitched, but now, she was really being bewitched. Her strong willpower made the shock in her heart not show itself on her face.

"Young Master!" At this moment, Jon's respectful voice came from outside the door.

Xiao Qinghan got up and put Ling Muxue down on the bed. He picked up a thin woolen coat from the side and put it on Ling Muxue. He picked her up and carried her out of the bedroom.

In the dining room.

Ling Muxue asked if she could not sit on him anymore. After all, there were so many people here, not to mention that Ling Yiyue was still standing at the side.

Xiao Qinghan did not make things difficult for her.

He sat at the main seat while Jon served him from the side. Ling Yiyue and Ling Muxue sat opposite each other.

"I will go to work!" Ling Muxue suddenly said calmly. She did not ask any questions and she did not look at Xiao Qinghan.

Xiao Qinghan's hand paused and he looked up at Ling Muxue's extremely calm face. "Are you going to work?"

"Yes!" Ling Muxue nodded.

"I won't allow it. You're afraid that I won't be able to support you."

Ling Muxue continued to eat without saying a word.

"If you need anything in the future, just tell Jon and everything will be done for you," he said.

"Yes!" Ling Muxue nodded lightly. She did not show any intense expression because she did not know what kind of attitude to use to face him.

Xiao Qinghan listened and looked at her calm profile. He was obviously surprised that she had listened to him this way for the first time and not fiercely rebutted him, arguing with him. Wasn't that the result he wanted?

Afraid that he really couldn't control himself, he put down his fork and knife, got up and left. Just as he was about to pass by Ling Muxue's back, Ling Muxue suddenly opened her mouth and said, "I want to go shopping with Yiyue in the city today."

Xiao Qinghan suddenly stopped behind her.

Just as Xiao Qinghan was about to say something, Ling Muxue calmly said, "I will be back soon."

After a long while, Xiao Qinghan said, "I'll get someone to send you off."

Ling Muxue nodded softly.

Xiao Qinghan left the dining room with big strides. In an instant, the depressing atmosphere in the living room disappeared.

Xiao Qinghan went out to work at the company.

Ling Muxue went back to her bedroom and took off the gemstone necklace.

"Sister, this necklace is so beautiful. Did brother-in-law give it to you?" Ling Yiyue stood at the side and her big bright eyes could not hide the shock in them.

Ling Muxue only nodded her head lightly. There was an indescribable complicated feeling in her heart.

"Brother-in-law is so good to my sister. I wonder how Brother Shaochen is doing now. Since sister is already happy, I also like Brother Shaochen to be like sister." Ling Yiyue's eyes flashed as she said softly.

The name Gu Shaochen stung Ling Muxue's heart, and she couldn't help but think of the dream she had last night. Her eyes darkened, and she could not hide the pain in her heart.
