Chapter 174 Both of them know it well
"Hmm?" Lin Xige noticed his hesitation. "What's going on? You're so indecisive. You're not as decisive as usual."
Mu Chaoran sat up straight and waved at her: "Come here, wife."
She obediently walked to his side, bent down and sat down.
Mu Chaoran and Lin Xige looked at each other.
Each other's appearance is reflected in each other's pupils.
Mu Chaoran slowly raised his hand and stroked her cheek: "Wife, no matter what happens, you must remember that I love you, I will always love you, only love you. I will never hurt you or lie to you again."
"Ah?" Lin Xige blinked. "That's all? Is that what you want to say to me?"
"……Um."
"That's impossible. Are you hiding something?"
Mu Chaoran asked back: "Can you repeat what I just said?"
Lin Xige bit her lower lip and said, "Why are you being so sentimental here?"
Late in the night, making love.
Mu Chaoran smiled and held her in his arms: "You can not trust anyone, but you must trust me. In this world, anyone may hurt you, betray you, and use you, but I will never do that in the future."
He had had thoughts that he shouldn't have had before.
Now, he is wholeheartedly thinking about her and doing it for her benefit.
Lin Xige placed her hands on his chest, her palms slowly moving to where his heart was beating.
She felt her heart pounding.
But what Lin Xige said was not cute at all.
"Mu Chaoran, have you ever hurt me, betrayed me, or used me?" she asked. "I think so."
He answered truthfully: "I once did, and I planned to do so. But in the end, it was just an idea and no actual action was taken."
"So, you came to Su City to pursue me and marry me because..."
Lin Xige drew out her voice.
The atmosphere in the bedroom suddenly became tense and serious.
Mu Chaoran knew that it was time to tell her.
"Xige, I traveled thousands of miles from Haicheng to find you, actually because of your body..."
Suddenly, Lin Xige's index finger touched Mu Chaoran's thin lips.
There was a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"I'm going to take a shower." Lin Xige said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow, otherwise we won't be able to sleep well."
She suddenly pulled back, preventing him from revealing his true feelings.
Mu Chaoran just watched her get up, go into the bathroom and lock the door.
It turned out that not only he didn't dare to speak, she also didn't dare to listen.
Both of them knew very well that once the veil was torn off and the window paper was broken, it would bring endless pain to both of them.
All are procrastinating.
Are all running away.
Mu Chaoran pressed his eyebrows.
What should I do?
After Lin Xige came out of the shower, she didn't dare to look Mu Chaoran in the eye, for fear that he would say something to her. She crawled into the bed, lay down with her back to him, and quickly closed her eyes.
She was not yet mentally prepared to bear the truth.
Although she had no idea what Mu Chaoran was hiding from her or what secrets he had, she knew that it must be very cruel and bloody.
Lin Xige hopes to get a divorce directly and leave in style, as if this marriage never happened and did not exist.
Whatever the truth was, she didn't want to hear it.
But Mu Chaoran did not do as she wished. He insisted on keeping her and being entangled with her for the rest of his life.
She couldn't even be a coward.
.........
Haicheng International Hospital.
A black Bentley drove slowly and stopped at the main gate.
The driver got out of the car first, bent down and respectfully opened the back door.
"Mr. Mu, we're here."
Mu Chaoran got out of the car, walked around the front of the car and opened the door for Lin Xige.
He always does a good job with this kind of details.
Gentleman and natural.
He extended his hand to Lin Xige: "Get out of the car."
Lin Xige gently placed her hand on his palm.
She turned her head to look towards the hospital, wondering what she should say when she saw Mr. Mu later.
Besides, how should she address Mr. Mu?
Should I follow Mu Chaoran and call him Grandpa? Or should I keep the honorific title like everyone else?
"Grandpa is already waiting for us," Mu Chaoran put his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, his voice magnetic, "The nurse said that Grandpa is in good spirits today and is slowly recovering."
Lin Xige nodded.
The two were walking towards the hospital side by side when suddenly, Mu Chaoran's cell phone rang.
It’s Xu Shenting calling.
He glanced at it and answered it directly: "Hello?"
Xu Shenting talked about some important and urgent matters at work.
Mu Chaoran listened carefully, his brows slowly furrowed.
Seeing him like this, Lin Xige remained quiet and didn't disturb him to avoid distracting him.
Just at this moment, a little boy who looked only seven or eight years old came towards Lin Xige skipping and jumping.
When the little boy was about to pass by Lin Xige, for some reason he started running wildly, and rushed past Lin Xige like a gust of wind.
Lin Xige had no time to dodge.
The little boy did not deviate from his route and continued running straight, bumping into Lin Xige hard.
Lin Xige's body was knocked to one side by him.
Fortunately, Mu Chaoran's hands were still on her waist, and he pulled her back.
but……
The bag that Lin Xige was holding in her hand fell to the ground.
The zipper of the bag was not closed properly, and the contents all fell out and covered the floor.
"ah!"
Lin Xige exclaimed, looked at the dropped bag, and then looked at the little boy who got into trouble.
The little boy seemed to realize that he had done something wrong. He stopped running, turned around and looked at Lin Xige.
He just stood there blankly, neither saying sorry nor leaving.
Seems dumbfounded.
Lin Xige is not the kind of person who cares about details. The other party is just a child, seven or eight years old, which is the age when he is naughty. There is no need to blame him.
Instead, Mu Chaoran glanced at the little boy sharply.
How could a child react to a man as strong and powerful as him?
When he looked at him like this, the corners of the little boy's mouth slowly drooped, and then -
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
The little boy started crying and rubbed his eyes with his hands.
Mu Chaoran's brows furrowed even tighter.
He didn't even say anything yet, and the little brat started crying?
Noisy!
Mu Chaoran was holding his phone in one hand and talking on the phone, while hugging Lin Xige with the other. He had no time to argue with a child.
Lin Xige originally thought that she could just pick up the things and put them back into her bag, and the matter would be over.
But when she saw the child crying, she became incredibly soft-hearted.
She pushed away the big hand from her waist, and without bothering to pick up the things, she quickly walked to the little boy and squatted down.
"Why are you crying? No one blames you." Lin Xige said gently, "It's okay, it's okay, just go and play. You are a little man, how can you cry?"
