She was extremely ecstatic with the sense of touch on her fingertips. Consciously, she clasped Qin Jinhuan’s hand and closed her eyes. Her blushing face appeared even more alluring and attractive.
Come, Jinhuan! Come to me! Suppressing her exhilaration, she screamed in silence.
Right then, a cylinder-shaped cold object was placed under her arms. Shuddering in shock, she instantly opened her eyes with surprise written all over her face.
“Jinhuan? You...”
“I’m taking your temperature. I have to send you to the hospital if you’re still feverish,” Qin Jinhuan said as he placed her hand under the blanket. Then, he tucked the blanket under her so that she was covered completely.
What?! H-He actually covered me with a blanket?!
Is the incense not strong enough? Is my outfit not seductive enough? Or was my performance unsatisfactory?
No way! There shouldn’t be anything wrong from my side! I’ve put in
All that was written on the piece of paper were a few sentences written in green ink. ‘You might as well not come home, Qin Jinhuan! You’re not the only one who knows how to go out and have fun!’What? Green ink? Going out and having fun? Is she trying to cheat on me? Sh*t! A couple of seconds later, Qin Jinhuan tore the provocative note into pieces before giving Mu Yu a call. “Hello, the number that you’ve dialed is unavailable. Please…” Furious, he ended the call and dialed Cheng Xiang’s number instead.“What? Did the young mistress go out? When did she leave the house?” Cheng Xiang’s astonishment only made Qin Jinhuan more furious than ever. “You must’ve been taking a good nap, huh?” he hissed.“I’m sorry, boss. I…”“You b*stard!” Qin Jinhuan angrily ended the call before stepping out of the room. After a moment of contemplation, he headed toward Qin Chengxi’s room and knocked on her door. He had to remain silent as his grandfat
“Oh my God! Who is that?” Mu Yu cried in surprise as she quickly shoved Qin Jinhuan away.“No one. No one at all. You guys can go on.” The mumbles of Mu Yu’s parents sounded in the dark before the sound of their rushed footsteps followed as they quickly shifted away. They shut the bedroom door behind them.“Told you they’d go to bed.” Qin Jinhuan’s smug voice emerged in the dark.“Don’t you have better things to do?” Mu Yu pushed him away angrily.“Alright. Stop being mad at me. I know I brought supper home a little too late tonight, but I really had matters to handle. Please forgive me, my beloved wife…” he pleaded.“You had matters to handle? What sort of matters involve following a woman into a room in the middle of the night when it’s just the two of you in there?” Mu Yu said with a scoff.“Anran was ill, so I had to go over and take a look…” he explained.“Woah, I didn’t know you, the alm
D-Did… Did I go too far with my joke? Was I too confident thinking that I was the brightest star in his sky?“What time is Huan coming over, Yu?” Hu Meiling wiped her hands on her apron as she stepped out into the living room. She was shocked to see the look on Mu Yu’s face. “Why are you crying, Yu? What happened?”Mu Ziyao quickly left the dishes on the dining table before rushing to the living room when he heard this. “What is it? What happened?”It was only then did Mu Yu realize the tears streaming down her cheeks. Flustered, she quickly wiped her face with her sleeve before attempting to conceal the truth. “It’s nothing. I was just too touched after watching some TV drama.”Hu Meiling gave Mu Yu’s shirt a tug. “Don’t lie to your mother. Tell me—what happened?”Mu Yu sniffed as she realized that a kid’s cartoon was being broadcasted on TV. “It’s really nothing, I…” She cleared her throat.“Is it becaus
“She’s in the emergency room?! What happened?!” Qin Jinhuan exclaimed in shock. “Which hospital is she at?”“It was a car accident! She’s at Town Hospital!” Mu Ziyao cried.Hu Meiling felt her gaze becoming blurry as she slapped herself on her thighs in agony. “My God! My baby Yu!”“Meiling!” Mu Ziyao steadied his wife quickly, but he then lost his grip on his phone. The screen turned black immediately after it smashed onto the ground. The words ‘car accident’ echoed in Qin Jinhuan’s head—he could no longer care for Hu Meiling or anyone else right then. Instead, he charged toward Bian Zijun. “Take care of them!” he said before getting into his own car and howled at Huang Bo. “Head to Town Hospital! Hurry!”“Yes, Boss!’ Huang Bo stepped on the gas immediately.“Hey! Wait for us! We want to go too!” Hu Meiling shoved her husband away as she began to chase the car. “We’ll take this car instead!” Bian Zijun s
“Qin Jinhuan!” she cried as she stomped out after him.“Stop right there, you brat!” an old man’s voice said.Grandpa? Mu Yu was utterly shocked as her gaze searched around and fell on Qin Xiaozhi. I clearly reminded Rong Ying not to tell anyone else about this when I borrowed Director Qiao’s phone to give her a call. How did Grandpa find out about this? However, she didn't know that both her parents had called Qin Xiaozhi the moment she ran out of the house; Qin Xiaozhi had been tracking both her and Qin Jinhuan’s whereabouts since then.“Grandpa? What are you doing here?” Mu Yu no longer attempted to go after Qin Jinhuan. Instead, she quickly rushed forward to help Qin Xiaozhi. After all, it was her fault for getting an old man to step out of the house in such terribly cold weather. However, Qin Xiaozhi pushed her away before turning toward Qin Jinhuan. “Where are you going?” he asked.The old man, along with Mu Yu’s parents, had
Qin Jinhuan picked up the phone right away. “Yes?”“Yu—Huan? Where is Yu?”“Hold on a minute.” Knowing that Rong Jian must be calling Mu Yu for work-related matters, Qin Jinhuan walked quickly into the room without asking anything. “Yu, it’s Rong Jian calling.”“Huh? Chief Rong?” Mu Yu hurriedly got out of bed and trotted over to take the cell phone without even wearing her slippers.“Take your time! A few seconds won’t make much difference!”Ignoring Qin Jinhuan’s ‘nagging’, Mu Yu took the cell phone and said, “Hello, Chief Rong.”“Yu, have you visited Rubing today?”“Oh, no!” Only then did Mu Yu recall having planned to visit Feng Rubing that afternoon. Frustrated with herself, she apologized. “I’m sorry. I was put off by something else.”“Could you please go to her place and check up on her? Her cell phone has been switched off, so I worry that something might have happened to
“What’s going on?” Qin Jinhuan asked the doctor hastily while staring at the emergency room.The doctor calmly explained, “The patient’s high fever hasn’t subsided, and she isn’t in full possession of her senses, which conjured up something at the bottom of her heart that she usually refused to confront. So we need to find her family members to understand her situation to solve her problems by taking the correct actions.”Feng Rubing’s scream could be heard again from the emergency room as the doctor spoke. Mu Yu’s heart clenched as she asked, “So is Madam Feng in a serious condition right now?”“Are you referring to the patient? She’ll stop exhibiting such symptoms once her temperature comes down and she’s come to her senses,” said the doctor. Then, he changed the subject. “Does she often suffer from insomnia and nightmares?”Mu Yu was startled for a moment before she nodded immediately. She didn’t know whether Feng Rubing was oft
“My sister would never murder someone! Mrs. Qin, Huan, you guys must have gotten it wrong!” Feng Qiqi cried.“Yes, yes. We got it all wrong. It was all a mistake. Don’t cry, Qiqi.” Mu Yu quickly rushed forward to explain herself. But Feng Qiqi shoved her away as she continued crying. “I want to see my sister, Mrs. Qin.”“Your sister’s still getting an IV drip; you’d scare her if you barged in like that.” Qin Jinhuan quickly stopped Feng Qiqi as he gently spoke to the young girl. “Your hand is not fully healed yet, so you shouldn’t be roaming around.”Feng Qiqi brushed her tears off as she spoke. “Huan, my hand’s fine, and I won’t make any noise. I just want to see my sister, okay? I promise not to disturb her!”“Okay. Come here.” Qin Jinhuan gently held onto Feng Qiqi’s shoulders before guiding her over to the glass window that allowed them to observe the insides of the room. “Your sister has been overworking herself recently.
