Duan Muqing was still in a daze when she received a call from her cousin in the middle of the night.

What Cheng Xiuyuan said took Duan Muqing a while to process.

He hadn't heard the name Shen Qingshu for a while.

Since getting together with Jiang Tian, ​​his whole heart has been devoted to her. Before, because he couldn't let go of her, he would often check Shen Qingshu's updates. Now, Duan Muqing has even abandoned using his own account.

Not to mention caring about what kind of life Shen Qingshu was living.

Hearing that her husband had been in a car accident, Duan Muqing felt completely unmoved.

"Cousin, are you listening? This is extremely urgent, please help me!"

Cheng Xiuyuan was extremely anxious, otherwise he wouldn't have called Duan Muqing that very night.

But to his surprise, the other party did not respond for a long time.

"Xiuyuan, car accidents need to be dealt with promptly. Finding experts won't help. You should get the person to the hospital as soon as possible; there might still be a chance to save them."

Duan Muqing thought for a moment and then said to him.

Distant water cannot quench a nearby fire.

Duan Muqing didn't think that sending that expert over would be of much use.

"Mu Qing, please, please help! The doctor said they can't perform major surgery here. His injuries are too severe, and I'm afraid to move him around. Please, please let that specialist come!"

Before Cheng Xiuyuan could speak, Shen Qingshu snatched the phone away.

He had the phone on speakerphone, and Shen Qingshu could hear Duan Muqing's reply clearly.

Hearing the voice of her former sweetheart again after such a long time, Duan Muqing felt little emotion.

He calmly stated his point of view: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but the distance is too far, and there's not much use for him even if he goes."

"Can you let him come first? He might come in handy!"

Shen Qingshu's voice was already choked with sobs.

She cares deeply about her husband.

Duan Muqing thought for a moment and then agreed: "Okay, I'll give him a call."

"Thank you, thank you, Mu Qing, I am so grateful to you."

Duan Muqing couldn't quite describe his feelings. If it were the old him, he would have felt heartache upon seeing Shen Qingshu so vulnerable.

But now, his heart is at peace.

He calmly hung up the phone and then contacted the expert.

He had enough influence that the expert quickly said he could go.

But it was a poor county town, and the experts were unfamiliar with the area and did not want to go there alone.

He had only one condition: that Duan Muqing accompany him; otherwise, he would not go.

In remote and impoverished areas, unexpected things can happen. He's not a local; he's just staying here for a while. It's impossible for him to take such a big risk for a stranger.

If Duan Muqing had come along, the situation would have been very different.

Duan Muqing's first reaction was to refuse.

His engagement day is approaching, and his main task right now is to stay with Jiang Tian and wait for that day to arrive.

Although engagement is not as important as marriage, it should still be treated with care.

Duan Muqing politely declined the other party's offer, stating that she would send one of her trusted confidants to accompany him.

The other party clearly did not trust them, stating bluntly that if Duan Muqing didn't go, he wouldn't go either.

Left with no other choice, Duan Muqing contacted Shen Qingshu again and told her about the matter.

Shen Qingshu was completely distraught. Her husband's condition was deteriorating, and her mental state was becoming extremely fragile.

"Mu Qing, please come with him, okay? It won't take up much of your time, please."

Duan Muqing didn't want to go. He didn't think this matter required his involvement. Helping to contact the doctor was already more than enough.

Shen Qingshu is already married, while he is getting engaged to Jiang Tian; they have long since embarked on different paths in life.

Occasionally their paths cross, but this does not affect the course of their lives.

Duan Muqing's silence reflected his attitude.

Shen Qingshu started crying again, her voice trembling with tears: "...I remember on my eighteenth birthday, you said you could grant me one wish, no matter how difficult it was, you would try your best to make it happen. You've always been a person of your word...Now I'm asking you to come with that doctor to save my husband."

If she weren't desperate, Shen Qingshu wouldn't want to think about these trivial details, but at this moment she was desperate and had no other choice.

Nothing else matters compared to her husband's life.

Duan Muqing did not expect Shen Qingshu to bring up even old stories.

He did say that.

They were both young then, and Duan Muqing devoted the purest feelings of youth to Shen Qingshu, wishing he could serve her wholeheartedly.

He was willing to give everything for her, so what was a small wish compared to that?

But he never expected that a promise he made years ago would have to be fulfilled today.

"Mu Qing, are you listening? I know I'm making things difficult for you, but I really have no other choice. Do you want to be someone who breaks their promise?"

Duan Muqing is usually a bit of a rascal and has done a lot of bad things, but he received a very strict upbringing and is taught that he must keep his promises.

After an unknown amount of time, Duan Muqing finally spoke: "Alright, I'll go with him."

With three days left until their engagement, Duan Muqing calculated in her mind that it shouldn't be too late.

"Thank you……"
