Chapter 2310: Chapter 666: One Year Later (43)_3
Qin Mu suspected he had lost his sense of taste due to the fever, so she put down her chopsticks, leaned closer to him, and raised her hand to touch his forehead.
It was really hot. Qin Mu’s heart skipped a beat, and she gently asked him, “Shall I get you some fever medicine?”
“Hmm!”
Mu Yichen agreed with a nod, continuing to eat his meal.
Something in Qin Mu’s heart felt sour again.
In just this short moment, her emotions had become a complicated mix of flavors.
How pitiful is he?
When she isn’t around, how does he cope when he’s sick?
Does he just lay in bed without eating or drinking until he gets better?
As she thought about it, it felt as if needles stabbed her heart.
Qin Mu became silent, and when she went to the kitchen to prepare the medicine, her vision blurred unconsciously.
The sound of intermittent coughing reached the kitchen, and she sniffed, holding back tears.
Her hand was scalded, and the pang in her nose caused the tear poised like a large pearl to drop.
She quickly tried to tilt her head back to hold in the tears, but a slight movement caused the tear to fall onto the counter, and Qin Mu hurriedly wiped it away.
“Is it ready?”
A tired voice from outside asked her.
“Oh! It’s ready!”
Qin Mu quickly responded, wiping the tear stains off her face, and took out the medicine.
Mu Yichen glanced up at her, asking nonchalantly, “Why are your eyes red?”
“Got burned!”
Qin Mu explained softly, then placed the medicine in front of him.
Mu Yichen didn’t ask further questions, picked up the medicine, and stood up, “Can you please help me clean up?”
Qin Mu didn’t leave or reply, but silently tidied up the dining room and kitchen.
Well, she rarely did this kind of work, but after living alone for a while, these chores had become second nature.
After cleaning up, Qin Mu thought for a moment, then went upstairs. He was already asleep on the bed in a rather free-spirited posture.
Qin Mu slowly walked closer, gently covering his forehead with her hand.
His forehead was burning, causing her hand, still cool from the water, to pull away quickly.
Suddenly, her hand was held tightly, and Qin Mu looked down at the man with eyes closed.
“Why is it so cold?”
Mu Yichen slowly opened his eyes, his sharp gaze cutting straight into hers.
Qin Mu skillfully freed her hand from his grip, letting out a slight, helpless sigh, “I just finished cleaning for you!”
Being cold is perfectly normal, isn’t it?
Mu Yichen’s eyes softened a little but then added a hint of displeasure.
“What’s the matter today?”
Mu Yichen suddenly started talking to her, and Qin Mu looked at him in surprise, thinking he would ignore her again and refuse to talk.
“Wang Huanyu asked me to find you, he said…”
“Was it for him yesterday too?”
Mu Yichen frowned suddenly, lazily giving her a look of disdain.
Qin Mu didn’t look at him, stood by the bed with her hands in her pockets, feeling a bit troubled.
Now that their marriage had reached the point where even conversations were difficult, she really didn’t know what to do.
“Hmm!”
But she still agreed softly.
Mu Yichen let out a cold laugh, then turned over to lie down properly, pulled the quilt over himself, placed his hands behind his head, and stared at the ceiling lamp.
“Let him come find me!”
After a few minutes of silence in the room, he suddenly spoke.
Wang Huanyu asking him for help wasn’t truly difficult, and he was intentionally being difficult, but now, seeing her so meek, completely unlike her usual self, Mu Yichen disliked the atmosphere.
After the initial shock, Qin Mu was overwhelmingly moved: “Then… I’ll call him?”
Hearing her excitement, Mu Yichen couldn’t help but glance at her, seeing her uncontrollable smile emerge, as if she couldn’t contain her joy.
“Hmm!”
Mu Yichen replied again, not looking at her any further.
Qin Mu didn’t bother considering his feelings, immediately taking out her phone from her pocket to call Wang Huanyu.
“Huanyu, Mr. Mu has agreed to talk with you.”
Qin Mu spoke calmly to the person on the other end, barely concealing her joy.
“Where should we meet?”
Hearing Wang Huanyu’s response, Qin Mu repeated his question, turning to look at Mu Yichen.
“In my current state, you wouldn’t really make me go find him, would you? Let him come here!”
Mu Yichen, with a headache, watched her being entirely concerned with matters of others, as if totally forgetting she was his wife.
