Chen Shang opened her eyes and sat up by the edge of the bed: "How did you know I was awake?"

Her mind quickly went over what had just happened, and she didn't understand where she had made a mistake.

Qi Mu laughed dumbly and handed over a peeled apple: "I'm so close to you, how could I not notice it?"

Chen Shang choked, turned her head away unnaturally, and said, "I heard everything you said to Bo Zishen."

"So what do you think?"

The man's burning gaze fixed on her, making it hard to ignore.

Chen Chang, who could remain rational even in front of an old man in the mountains, was now unusually stunned and didn't know how to speak.

According to the original plan, she wanted to explain everything to Qi Mu and then repay him alone for saving her, but unfortunately, the situation seemed to have gone off track.

Qi Mu is not a frivolous person, but he actually kissed her forehead just now!

Taking a deep breath, Chen Shang looked directly at Qi Mu: "I know you were just saying that to appease Bo Zishen. I didn't take it to heart. Thank you for risking your life to save me."

"No more?"

Qi Mu's eyes suddenly dimmed and his voice became hoarse, revealing unspeakable grievance and loneliness.

Chen Shang nodded.

What else?

Even if there is an engagement between the two, it is just a business marriage.

The Qi family is as powerful as the Shen family. Whether Qi Mu wants to break off the engagement and marry the woman he truly loves depends on whether he wants to or not.

Rather than living under someone else's roof with Bo Zining, it is better to be alone and take care of yourself.

What's more, Chen Shang is very determined not to interfere in other people's feelings.

Her family was broken up because of a third party, although it was mostly due to Bo Yunyan's inaction, but who can tell the truth about matters of the heart?

"Chen Shang." Qi Mu's voice was low, his eyebrows slightly lowered, as if he was a canine waiting for his master's love and affection: "I will not take risks for an unrelated person for no reason."

"I'm sorry. I was indecisive and couldn't see clearly into my own heart before. When I heard the news that you were in danger, I was so panicked as never before. Yes, I was afraid of losing you."

Qi Mu is not a shy person.

His feelings towards Chen Shang were clear enough before Song Qi appeared.

At that time, he mistakenly thought that he had such thoughts only because he mistakenly regarded Chen Shang as his savior.

Until something happened to Chen Shang.

One cannot lie about one's inner emotions. On the way there, he almost overturned his car several times because he was too anxious. After finding her, he only had one thought in the face of villagers who far outnumbered them.

You must take her away.

On the way back, Qi Mu kept his eyes on Chen Shang.

She was covered in tatters and no one knew how much suffering she had endured.

It is said that the most direct expression of loving someone is heartache. Qi Mu's slightly red eyes were hidden in the dark, and his fists were clenched tightly. He wished he could go back and teach those people a lesson.

"My commitment to Bo Zishen came from the heart, and I didn't deceive myself."

Qi Mu's voice was muffled.

President Qi, who is in charge of the business world, actually began to feel nervous at this moment.

He felt a little regretful about his previous actions. He had offended Chen Shang without even making a formal confession, but he really couldn't control himself. Chen Shang's sleeping face had an incomparable attraction in his eyes.

Just as Qi Mu was struggling over whether to apologize, Chen Shang's stuttering voice reached his ears: "What about the girl next to you?"

Qi Mu breathed a sigh of relief as if he had found a breakthrough.

"I'm not sure if she's the one for me, but I'll take care of it before we get married. Can you give me some time?"

Her attitude was sincere, her eyes were sincere, even though Chen Shang had experienced a failed marriage.

At this moment, the bright red heart in the chest is still beating wildly.

"One month at most."

…

On the other side, the Shen family.

Upon learning that Chen Shang had returned safely, Mr. Shen's originally sickly complexion became visibly rosy.

"Let's go. I'm going to the hospital to visit Shang Shang."

Mr. Shen stood up without saying anything. The servants didn't dare to stop him. They could only help him put on his clothes and support him as he walked out.

Bo Zining was also delighted.

"Really? Mom's back! Where is she now?"

Bo Zining's face looked haggard after she had cried secretly, with snot hanging on her cheeks.

The servant soothed her softly, "Don't worry, little miss. I'll help you wash your face and change your clothes first, and then let the young masters accompany you, okay?"

Bo Zining nodded rapidly, urging him on.

After the three brothers Shen Changmin dealt with Su Mengli and Shen Zhexing, they wanted to go directly to the hospital.

"Brother, grandpa and Zining should be unable to sit still either, why don't we go together?" Shen Changan was very careful and suggested.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Shen and Bo Zining, who was being held by a servant, came into view.

"Speak of the devil."

Shen Changliang smiled and shook his head, then took Bo Zining.

Old Master Shen glanced coldly at his three unfilial grandchildren and got into the car first.

The brat actually wanted to secretly visit Chen Chang. This was really too much. He would never allow such behavior to happen.

The family went to Chen Shang's ward in a mighty procession.

Because everyone has outstanding looks and good temperament, they attracted a lot of attention from passers-by along the way.

But Mr. Shen didn't care about these things, his heart and eyes were filled with the desire to see Chen Shang as soon as possible.

God knows when he learned that someone was in trouble, the only thing that echoed in his mind was a similar scene from that year.

Afraid of repeating the same mistakes.

The ward door opened, and Qi Mu and Shen Shang looked in at the same time.

"Shangshang!"

"Mother!"

Bo Zining broke free from Shen Changliang's embrace and ran to Chen Shang's bed, tears rolling down her cheeks again.

Chen Shang's heart was about to break, and she hurriedly hugged the person in her arms to comfort him.

"Mom is fine, Zining, don't be afraid."

The other members of the Shen family also had red eyes and were filled with emotion when they saw this scene.

Qi Mu gave up his seat to Mr. Shen: “Grandpa Shen, please sit down.”

Old Master Shen glanced at him. The brat was quite sensible and didn't bother to be polite with him. He sat down on his own, his eyes full of guilt: "Shang Shang, it's our fault. We didn't protect you well."

"Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about!" Chen Shang scolded angrily, "Su Mengli's bad intentions have nothing to do with you."

"Besides, I'm fine now, right?"

Old Master Shen kept shaking his head and sighing, thinking about how to compensate her well.

The atmosphere at the Shen family was warm and harmonious. Qi Mu didn't feel awkward at all standing aside, and even secretly wondered when he could fit in.

Bo Zining was the first to notice him: "Why is handsome uncle here too?"

The Shen family, who had been ignoring him on purpose, saw that their disguise had failed, so they pretended to realize it belatedly and exchanged a few words with him.

"Grandpa, brothers, it was Qi Mu who took care of me in the hospital, and it was he who saved me." Chen Shang took the initiative to speak up to help.

Even though Chen Changmin was extremely unhappy in his heart, he did not want to offend Chen Shang, so he spoke reluctantly.

"I can testify that Qi Mu is indeed the greatest contributor, and he was even injured while saving Shang Shang."
