Chapter 628: His Pale Face Causes Disarray

“That old guy can thrive in the capital not just because of his medical skills but also due to his character. So, next time, be more careful.”

“Alright, it’s getting late. Let me help you with a bath!” Wen Xin pushed Mu Chengxi’s wheelchair towards the first-floor bedroom the housekeeper had prepared.

“You’ve just recovered. Let Mu Bei help me. You don’t have to tire yourself,” Mu Chengxi said, concerned about Wen Xin, not wanting her to overexert herself.

“I’m already fine. My man doesn’t need to be seen by others. As long as you don’t act out, I won’t get tired.”

Wen Xin winked at Mu Chengxi, who immediately understood her meaning, and his ears turned pink.

He sighed deeply. “You little vixen, always knowing how to drive me crazy.”

After they finished washing up, Wen Xin lay in bed, her back to Mu Chengxi. No matter how gently he coaxed her, she refused to turn around.

“I’m sorry. I just couldn’t help myself… Don’t be mad, okay?”

Mu Chengxi pressed tightly against her back, hugging her and kissing her shoulder softly.

Wen Xin lay with her eyes closed, ignoring him, feeling both captivated and frustrated by him.

He really knew how to infuriate her.

In the morning, Wen Xin opened her eyes to find Mu Chengxi’s pale, handsome face resting on her shoulder.

She worriedly raised her hand to feel his wrist, only relaxing when she confirmed his pulse was normal.

Her movements woke Mu Chengxi. He opened his dark eyes slowly and leaned over to plant a light kiss on her lips.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and Mu Chengxu’s voice came from outside.

“Xinxin, Chengxi, are you awake? Breakfast is ready. You both need to eat because of your health. Come on, get up!”

“Got it. We’ll be right out.”

Wen Xin grabbed her phone and checked the time—it was already past nine. No wonder Mu Chengxu came to wake them.

She gently pushed Mu Chengxi’s shoulder. He snuggled against her, reluctant to open his eyes.

“Your sister is calling us to breakfast. Do you want to get up?”

“Let’s… get up. You need to replenish your nutrition,” Mu Chengxi initially wanted to refuse but agreed after considering Wen Xin’s condition. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

He let go of her, allowing Wen Xin to freshen up first. After she was done, she wheeled him to the bathroom.

While washing up, Mu Chengxi tilted his head back, watching Wen Xin wipe his face. “When do you think I’ll be able to walk again?”

“Though the ancient jade works well, bones still need time to heal. Your injuries were severe, but your bones were only cracked, not shattered. Recovery will take one to two months. Don’t rush.”

Initially, Wen Xin was worried about his fractured sternum and ribs, but after the hospital confirmed it was only bone cracks without dislocation, she felt relieved. With enhanced energy from the ancient jade, Mu Chengxi was recovering well.

After they finished, Wen Xin pushed Mu Chengxi out of the room. Wei Manqing and Mu Jinyan, who had just returned from outside, were in the living room.

Seeing the couple emerge, everyone stood up to greet them.

Mu Chengxu came out of the dining room, intending to call them to breakfast, but was startled by Mu Chengxi’s pale complexion.

She quickly approached, reaching to touch his face, but Mu Chengxi swatted her hand away.

“Hey, why do you look so pale? You didn’t look this bad even after staying up all night. What’s wrong with you?”

“Didn’t you rest well? Or are you feeling unwell? Do we need a doctor to check on you?”

Wei Manqing, alarmed by Mu Chengxu’s words, hurried over. Seeing Mu Chengxi’s pallor, her eyes filled with concern.

Wen Xin, usually composed, couldn’t remain calm seeing the worried faces of the mother and daughter. She was about to come up with an excuse when Mu Chengxi spoke calmly.

“My ribs hurt too much last night, so I didn’t sleep well. It’s nothing serious.”

Mu Chengxi’s words did little to ease the worry etched on Mu Chengxu and Wei Manqing’s faces.

“If it’s that bad, you should stay in the hospital for a few days and get proper treatment. It’s worrisome seeing you like this,” Mu Chengxu suggested, still concerned.

“No need. It’s the same in the hospital. Home is more comfortable.”

Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin’s hand on his wheelchair, speaking softly to her. “You need proper nutrition.”

“Yes, yes. Let’s discuss things after breakfast. Your health is the priority,” Wei Manqing quickly made space for them to eat.

As they started breakfast, Mu Jinyan walked in from the living room and sat opposite Mu Chengxi.

“What happened to you? When your mother asked, you didn’t explain clearly. I heard it has something to do with Independence State?”

Mu Jinyan’s gaze inadvertently fell on Wen Xin. Knowing her identity, he naturally assumed she was involved.

“Why are you looking at her? She saved my life, risking her own. I was captured by people from Independence State, not because of her. Without her rescue, I’d be dead.”

Mu Chengxi disliked Mu Jinyan’s scrutinizing gaze at Wen Xin. Though he knew Mu Jinyan had no ill intent, it still bothered him. His precious Wen Xin shouldn’t be questioned.

Wen Xin quietly ate the buns Mu Chengxi served her, unfazed by Mu Jinyan’s gaze, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.

“I’m not blaming her for what happened to you,” Mu Jinyan sighed, not understanding why Mu Chengxi thought so. “I’m worried about both of you. Such a serious incident—be more cautious in the future.”
