"How long did you wait outside yesterday afternoon?"
Even though the guy at the door had already told him, he still wanted to ask her.
"About that long, couldn’t wait for you, made stand in the rain until I was numb, and then..."
Qin Mu puffed out her cheeks as she spoke.
"Are you helping others, or punishing ?"
Qin Mu couldn’t help but ask him, wanting to be angry, but seeing his affectionate gaze, she was almost forced to smile.
Mu Yichen saw her trying not to laugh, sat up a bit straighter: "I wonder if maybe I hadn’t done well enough before, that’s why the heavens are punishing ."
Qin Mu’s heart trembled, she lifted her eyes to look in the rearview mirror, an indescribable sorrow hung on his face.
"Mu Yichen..."
For a mont, she couldn’t figure it out, but felt a strange unease in her heart, calling him in a slightly timid voice.
Mu Yichen held her hand, Qin Mu’s heartbeat suddenly went out of sync, albeit only for a few beats.
If it’s about her father’s matter...
Qin Mu didn’t talk to him afterward, but she felt more and more guilty inside.
Blaming him back then was sothing she shouldn’t have done, but he really didn’t need to take it so much to heart.
That was just destiny’s arrangent.

"Oh! Our young master and lady are back, weren’t you supposed to return after dinner? Why co back so early?"
Feng Fanghua just happened to co down from upstairs, and upon seeing them, imdiately started with sarcasm.
"Qin Mu had a fever of 40 degrees last night, that’s why we couldn’t return."
Mu Yichen explained.
Qin Mu turned her eyes, staring surprised at her husband, why ntion her matter?
"What? A fever of 40 degrees?"
"If you don’t believe it, you can check her skin, there should still be a needle mark."
Mu Yichen spoke earnestly.
What? Was I given an injection last night?
Why didn’t I know?
"What’s going on? Wasn’t it just a common cold? How did it get so severe?"
Feng Fanghua stepped forward, seeing Qin Mu’s terrible complexion, she unconsciously frowned, also shocked internally.
"After work yesterday, I went to pick her up, but got delayed a bit, she thought sothing happened to , so she ran to the gate to get drenched."
Mu Yichen briefly explained.
Qin Mu looked up at him again, almost scared to death by her husband’s words, why push everything onto her?
"Are you stupid?"
Feng Fanghua looked her up and down, asking again.
"I’m not!"
Qin Mu shook her head: "I’m really not, I used an umbrella!"
Mu Yichen looked down at her, smiling, as if saying: whatever you say goes, mom has to believe it.
Being stared at by Mu Yichen made Qin Mu feel all tingly, she moved her eyes and suddenly covered her head: "Mom, I’m still a bit dizzy, can I go upstairs?"
"Hurry, hurry up then! Are you running a fever again, let’s get a doctor here to put you on IV!"
Feng Fanghua said reaching to feel her forehead, sure enough, it was warm.
Mu Yichen saw Feng Fanghua’s worried look and was startled, is she having a relapse?
The doctor warned last night it might relapse, after dinner seeing her fine, thought she recovered, but now again...
Mu Yichen touched her forehead, then grabbed her arm: "Co upstairs with !"
Qin Mu...
"Why are you so rough, can’t you be gentle!"
Feng Fanghua turned her head to watch, frowning at her son’s rough behavior, reminding him.
"Hey! It’s going to break, the bone’s going to break!"
Halfway up the stairs, Qin Mu softly called him, reminding him.
Mu Yichen turned to look at her, then stepped forward, Qin Mu imdiately flinched back, Mu Yichen coldly looked at her, questioning why she was dodging.
"Now that you’re injured, you can’t carry !"
"My left arm is injured, the right is fine!"
Mu Yichen knew she wasn’t minding him, so he softened his voice.
"Still not good, I can walk just fine!"
Qin Mu said, walking to his side, hugging his unhard arm, and walking up with him.
Mu Yichen quietly observed her, finding her a bit different from before.
Her consideration for him made Mu Yichen feel uneasy, whilst also feeling like a warm hearth was kindled in his heart.
She was still tender-hearted, still anxious, just thinking about several people with knives against him made her anxious.
As if it were happening right in front of her, she could see but couldn’t help, the sense of loneliness inside was from inability to reach out, the feeling of helplessness was from seeing him get hurt.
Qin Mu gradually hugged him, holding him tightly.
