Chapter 628: His Pale Face Causes Disarray
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
âThat old guy can thrive in the capital not just because of his medical skills but also due to his character. So, next time, be more careful.â
âAlright, itâs getting late. Let me help you with a bath!â Wen Xin pushed Mu Chengxiâs wheelchair towards the first-floor bedroom the housekeeper had prepared.
âYouâve just recovered. Let Mu Bei help me. You donât have to tire yourself,â Mu Chengxi said, concerned about Wen Xin, not wanting her to overexert herself.
âIâm already fine. My man doesnât need to be seen by others. As long as you donât act out, I wonât get tired.â
Wen Xin winked at Mu Chengxi, who immediately understood her meaning, and his ears turned pink.
He sighed deeply. âYou little vixen, always knowing how to drive me crazy.â
After they finished washing up, Wen Xin lay in bed, her back to Mu Chengxi. No matter how gently he coaxed her, she refused to turn around.
âIâm sorry. I just couldnât help myself⊠Donât be mad, okay?â
Mu Chengxi pressed tightly against her back, hugging her and kissing her shoulder softly.
Wen Xin lay with her eyes closed, ignoring him, feeling both captivated and frustrated by him.
He really knew how to infuriate her.
In the morning, Wen Xin opened her eyes to find Mu Chengxiâs pale, handsome face resting on her shoulder.
She worriedly raised her hand to feel his wrist, only relaxing when she confirmed his pulse was normal.
Her movements woke Mu Chengxi. He opened his dark eyes slowly and leaned over to plant a light kiss on her lips.
There was a gentle knock on the door, and Mu Chengxuâs voice came from outside.
âXinxin, Chengxi, are you awake? Breakfast is ready. You both need to eat because of your health. Come on, get up!â
âGot it. Weâll be right out.â
Wen Xin grabbed her phone and checked the timeâit was already past nine. No wonder Mu Chengxu came to wake them.
She gently pushed Mu Chengxiâs shoulder. He snuggled against her, reluctant to open his eyes.
âYour sister is calling us to breakfast. Do you want to get up?â
âLetâs⊠get up. You need to replenish your nutrition,â Mu Chengxi initially wanted to refuse but agreed after considering Wen Xinâs condition. fÉŸeewebnoveâ.coàč
He let go of her, allowing Wen Xin to freshen up first. After she was done, she wheeled him to the bathroom.
While washing up, Mu Chengxi tilted his head back, watching Wen Xin wipe his face. âWhen do you think Iâll be able to walk again?â
âThough the ancient jade works well, bones still need time to heal. Your injuries were severe, but your bones were only cracked, not shattered. Recovery will take one to two months. Donât rush.â
Initially, Wen Xin was worried about his fractured sternum and ribs, but after the hospital confirmed it was only bone cracks without dislocation, she felt relieved. With enhanced energy from the ancient jade, Mu Chengxi was recovering well.
After they finished, Wen Xin pushed Mu Chengxi out of the room. Wei Manqing and Mu Jinyan, who had just returned from outside, were in the living room.
Seeing the couple emerge, everyone stood up to greet them.
Mu Chengxu came out of the dining room, intending to call them to breakfast, but was startled by Mu Chengxiâs pale complexion.
She quickly approached, reaching to touch his face, but Mu Chengxi swatted her hand away.

âHey, why do you look so pale? You didnât look this bad even after staying up all night. Whatâs wrong with you?â
âDidnât you rest well? Or are you feeling unwell? Do we need a doctor to check on you?â
Wei Manqing, alarmed by Mu Chengxuâs words, hurried over. Seeing Mu Chengxiâs pallor, her eyes filled with concern.
Wen Xin, usually composed, couldnât remain calm seeing the worried faces of the mother and daughter. She was about to come up with an excuse when Mu Chengxi spoke calmly.
âMy ribs hurt too much last night, so I didnât sleep well. Itâs nothing serious.â
Mu Chengxiâs words did little to ease the worry etched on Mu Chengxu and Wei Manqingâs faces.
âIf itâs that bad, you should stay in the hospital for a few days and get proper treatment. Itâs worrisome seeing you like this,â Mu Chengxu suggested, still concerned.
âNo need. Itâs the same in the hospital. Home is more comfortable.â
Mu Chengxi held Wen Xinâs hand on his wheelchair, speaking softly to her. âYou need proper nutrition.â
âYes, yes. Letâs discuss things after breakfast. Your health is the priority,â Wei Manqing quickly made space for them to eat.
As they started breakfast, Mu Jinyan walked in from the living room and sat opposite Mu Chengxi.
âWhat happened to you? When your mother asked, you didnât explain clearly. I heard it has something to do with Independence State?â
Mu Jinyanâs gaze inadvertently fell on Wen Xin. Knowing her identity, he naturally assumed she was involved.
âWhy are you looking at her? She saved my life, risking her own. I was captured by people from Independence State, not because of her. Without her rescue, Iâd be dead.â
Mu Chengxi disliked Mu Jinyanâs scrutinizing gaze at Wen Xin. Though he knew Mu Jinyan had no ill intent, it still bothered him. His precious Wen Xin shouldnât be questioned.
Wen Xin quietly ate the buns Mu Chengxi served her, unfazed by Mu Jinyanâs gaze, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.
âIâm not blaming her for what happened to you,â Mu Jinyan sighed, not understanding why Mu Chengxi thought so. âIâm worried about both of you. Such a serious incidentâbe more cautious in the future.â
