Chapter 164

Xia Ruoan decided to go for a physical examination with her eldest brother alone. She did not tell Leng Zexi about this because she knew Leng Zexi's character very well. If she knew this, he would definitely insist on following her.

However, Leng Zexi was in a very bad condition at the moment, and Xia Ruoan didn't want him to worry.

When the family doctor came to examine Leng Zexi, he was shocked when he saw the injuries on his body.

Who on earth was so bold as to lay hands on the prince? Full of doubts and surprise, the doctor began to carefully examine Leng Zexi's body.

And when her eyes fell on the potion applied on his body, her attention was instantly drawn to it, and she began to study the potion wholeheartedly.

Later, it was learned that Leng Zexi's injury was caused by Mu Shen, so it became obvious who made this potion.

When the family doctor heard Xia Ruoan call Mu Shen his elder brother, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of pity in his eyes when he looked at Leng Zexi.

Obviously, this doctor knew Mu Shen quite well.

In the afternoon, Xia Ruoan woke up slowly and saw a call from his elder brother flashing on the screen of his mobile phone.

She was panicking and quickly stood up and went to the balcony to answer the call. At this time, she saw her elder brother Mu Shen coming downstairs from the balcony.

"Brother, you're here?" Xia Ruoan felt guilty and his voice unconsciously lowered a few degrees.

"Well, come down quickly. I'll take you to the hospital for another thorough checkup." Mu Shen raised his head and saw his sister appear on the balcony. His face was full of helplessness. He could only say softly, "Don't worry, I won't scold you this time. Come down quickly."

"Okay." Xia Ruoan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his elder brother say that. After all, he had been worried that his elder brother would lose his temper and scold people because of something, but now it seems that the situation is not bad.

When Xia Ruoan was going out, Leng Zexi suddenly said, "Ruoan, are you going out? Where are you going? I'll go with you." As he spoke, he pretended to get out of bed.

Xia Ruoan quickly stopped him and said, "No! Don't move. You just listened to the doctor's instructions. The most important thing now is to lie down in bed and rest."

"Look, I left your phone and tablet here for you. If you feel bored, you can play with them. I just want to go downstairs and walk around in the garden. You don't have to worry about me."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Ruoan was afraid that Leng Zexi would insist, so he turned around and left the room in a hurry.

However, Leng Zexi was still worried and shouted, "Then let the maid follow you. Just look around the garden. Don't bend over or do other dangerous things."

Xia Ruoan didn't even turn his head and responded, "I know!"

In fact, she was a little uneasy at the moment. She never expected that one day she would need to lie to others.

But as long as we move fast enough, it would only take about an hour to go back and forth, plus half an hour for the inspection, and we shouldn't be discovered.

Just as he was thinking, Xia Ruoan saw his elder brother Mu Shen coming over from afar. A happy smile immediately appeared on his face, and he shouted happily: "Brother, you are finally back!"

Mu Shen had a lot to say, but when he saw his sister's expectant look, he swallowed those words back and just nodded slightly, saying, "Well, you're back, let's get in the car."

As he spoke, he deliberately looked behind Xia Ruo'an and asked, "Why are you alone? Aren't Leng Zexi and your third brother coming with you?"

After hearing this, Xia Ruo'an's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he muttered to himself, "Don't you know the situation when you did it yourself?"

However, she still answered honestly: "They are still lying in bed and can't get out of bed at all."

After hearing this, Mu Shen carefully helped Xia Ruo'an get into the car, muttering, "So weak."

Xia Ruoan listened silently, not daring to say a word.

After all, the two men didn't even dare to move at that time. They could only stand there and let Mu Shen do it. It was very good that they could endure it without resisting.

Thinking of this, Xia Ruoan couldn't help but look up at Mu Shen and said softly: "If it were me, I would have been admitted to the hospital a long time ago."

When Mu Shen heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he was amused and laughed out loud: "Huh, your elbow is actually turned outward! How could I possibly hit you?"

Xia Ruoan quickly explained: "Brother Leng and Third Brother are not outsiders. Besides, this matter cannot be completely blamed on them. In fact, I also have a major responsibility that cannot be shirked."

"So, if we talk about who should be taught a lesson, it must be me." After saying that, she looked straight at Mu Shen with her big watery eyes.

Seeing her guilty look, Mu Shen couldn't help but feel helpless and compromised: "Okay, okay, I promise I won't beat them again next time, okay?"

Xia Ruo'an nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, that's good. But don't give it again. If you do, your medicine will still be used. Your medicine is not easy to use, so it will be wasted."

As she was talking, she suddenly saw her phone screen light up, indicating an incoming call. For some reason, her heart suddenly sank...

"Why don't you answer it? That was a call from Leng Zexi! Didn't you tell him that you were going to the hospital with me?" Mu Shen looked at her with a smile, a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

That’s right, the caller ID showed Leng Zexi, and she knew in her heart that if she told Leng Zexi the truth, given how much he cared about her, he would definitely follow her without hesitation.

At this moment, after hesitating for a long time, Xia Ruoan finally chose to answer the call. "Brother Leng..." Her voice was slightly soft.

Leng Zexi's anxious and worried question came from the other end of the phone: "You went out? Who were you with? Was it Mu Shen?"

It turned out that if the housekeeper had not come upstairs to tell him about this, he would have had no idea that Ruoan had left home without saying goodbye.

Hearing this, Mu Shen stretched out his hand and motioned Xia Ruoan to hand him the phone.

"Give it to me." His tone left no room for doubt.

Xia Ruoan looked up at his eldest brother's slightly angry face. Although he was a little worried, he also knew that he could not disobey his eldest brother's wishes at this moment, so he had to hand the phone to him obediently.

After taking the phone, Mu Shen said coldly into the microphone: "Leng Zexi, I am just taking my sister for a physical examination. Do I need your permission in advance?"

"Do I have to report to you and apply for permission in advance when I take Ruoan out in the future?" After saying this, Mu Shen deliberately paused for a moment, as if he wanted to hear the other party's response.

"No, brother, I really don't mean what you think! I just simply want to go over and accompany her to the physical examination." Leng Zexi looked flustered and hurriedly explained, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead due to nervousness.

"You only got a few light beatings from me, so why is it so hard for you to even get out of bed now? You still make Ruoan worry about you, and you have the nerve to call me to check on me?" Mu Shen sneered with disdain and criticized Leng Zexi mercilessly.

"I'll be there right away!" Leng Zexi heard this and said anxiously while struggling to sit up from the bed, but the pain from his body made him frown and his movements became very slow.

"Okay, just lie down! Don't try to be brave. Even if you can barely stand up, you will probably have to lie down after walking a few steps."

"I will take Ruoan to the physical examination myself. After the examination, I will naturally bring her home safely. I am her elder brother, so you don't have to worry about Ruoan." Mu Shen's tone softened a little, no longer as stern as before.

At this time, Xia Ruo'an, who had been standing silently beside him, reached out and took the phone, and whispered into the microphone: "Brother Leng, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you."

"Actually, I was afraid that you would worry too much about me and come with me, so I kept it from you and didn't let you come to accompany me." Having said that, Xia Ruoan couldn't help but bite his lip in annoyance.

Then she continued, "Besides, it's difficult for you to even get up in your current state. If you run over here, what if your injury gets worse? I'll be back soon, okay?"

Xia Ruoan's voice was soft and gentle, full of concern.

After hearing this, Leng Zexi couldn't help but chuckle: "I don't mean to blame you, you should go with big brother to get a check-up first, I will rush over in a moment."

Before he finished speaking, Leng Zexi had already stood up and was about to walk out the door.

Seeing this, the butler at the side hurried forward to support him and anxiously advised: "Master, your injuries are not fully recovered yet! The doctor has repeatedly told you to stay in bed and rest."

However, Leng Zexi didn't care. He looked at the housekeeper firmly and said, "It's okay. I don't think I'm in any serious trouble."

"Housekeeper, please prepare a car for me and have someone drive it over. I need to go to the hospital right away. Ruoan is having a medical checkup with her eldest brother right now."

When the housekeeper heard that it was about a physical examination, he knew it was inconvenient to stop him, but he still continued to remind him with some worry: "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to drive you there. But, young master, you must be very careful and don't let the wound be injured again."

Leng Zexi nodded slightly to show that he understood. At this moment, he suddenly received a message from his father. It turned out that Ruoan's brothers had all returned.

In this way, before they officially get married, I am afraid that I will hardly have the chance to meet Xia Ruoan again.

Thinking of this, Leng Zexi secretly made up his mind that he must not leave Xia Ruoan at all at this moment, otherwise he might not even see her for the next whole month.
