NOVEL NEXT Chapter 28
The Old Madam Is Awake
“Chengxi…”
Grandmother Qi regained consciousness. She looked at her sons surrounding her bed and could not help but call out Mu Chengxi’s name.
Mu Chengxi walked up to Wen Xin. Before he could speak, he heard his grandmother calling him.
Wen Xin raised her head and looked at Mu Chengxi standing in front of her. Her eyes met Mu Chengxi’s nervous gaze. Wen Xin raised her eyebrows nonchalantly and said in a weak voice, “Old Madam is calling for you. Old Madam has just recovered and needs to rest. Don’t make her wait.”
“Wait for me!” Mu Chengxi reached out to hold Wen Xin’s icy little hand and pinched it gently. Then, he turned around and walked to the bed.
“Grandma, I’m here!” Mu Chengxi walked to the old woman’s side and sat by the bed. He saw that her complexion seemed to be better than Wen Xin’s. This made Mu Chengxi even more worried about Wen Xin’s condition.
“You little rascal, you finally decided to show up! Every time I called you, you just brushed me off. Look at this, you almost missed seeing me!”
The old madam’s body was no longer in any serious condition and her voice had recovered. She did not hesitate to scold Mu Chengxi.
The absent-minded Mu Chengxi looked at the old lady full of energy. A warm smile appeared on his handsome face. “I know I was wrong. This time, I will definitely stay at home and accompany Grandma for a few more days. You have just recovered and need a good rest!”
Mu Chengxi’s mind was filled with Wen Xin’s pale face and cold hands. He could not focus on talking to the old lady.
Mu Jinyan overheard the conversation between Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin and could tell that her son was distracted.
She walked over and patted her son’s shoulder. She said gently to the old lady, “Mom, you’ve just recovered. If you have anything to say, you can tell Chengxi tomorrow. The kitchen has prepared some porridge.”
Wen Xin had already told Su Haoran about the old madam’s condition. At this moment, Su Haoran hurriedly said, “Old Madam can eat some food to maintain her strength, but it shouldn’t be too much. The most important thing for Old Madam is to rest well!”
Mu Chengxi took the opportunity to leave the old madam’s side and returned to Wen Xin’s side. Wen Xin handed him the prescription that she had just written.
“Give this prescription to Old Madam tomorrow morning. She will be able to get out of bed in three days!”
Mu Chengxi took the prescription and handed it to Su Haoran. He squatted down and held Wen Xin’s hand. “I’m sorry that I didn’t consider your physical condition and brought you here. I’ve made you suffer so much. I’ll send you to the hospital for a check-up!”
Mu Chengxi’s voice was not loud, but the people around him heard it clearly. They turned around and saw Mu Chengxi carefully squatting in front of Wen Xin. His eyes were filled with concern.
“No need, I’m just hungry. Didn’t you say there was food?” At this moment, Wen Xin felt like she was about to faint from hunger. She had really overestimated her physical strength and almost could not last until the end.
“Yes, Gu Yanzhe is ready. I’ll bring you back to eat!”
Mu Chengxi thought of something. He stood up and took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket. He tore open the outer packaging of the chocolate and offered it to Wen Xin’s lips.
Wen Xin smelled the sweet scent of the chocolate. Without hesitation, she opened her mouth and bit the chocolate in Mu Chengxi’s hand. Her soft lips touched Mu Chengxi’s fingertips.
The soft touch made Mu Chengxi’s eyes narrow. His entire body tensed up unconsciously as if he had been electrocuted.
He bent down, and not caring if she would refuse, carried Wen Xin as if she were a princess.
