The lingering kiss almost stole Li Xiyue's soul.

The system said in the space, "Ahem! Darling, be reserved, be reserved! You two aren't even dating yet!"

The system's words brought Li Xiyue back to her senses.

She has memories of her past life. She and Mu Cangnan were originally husband and wife and had a son. It's not inappropriate for her and Mu Cangnan to do anything intimate.

However, Mu Cangnan doesn't have these memories. If she's too casual, Mu Cangnan will misunderstand her as an improper girl!

She quickly broke free from Mu Cangnan's embrace, her little face turning as red as a tomato. She said angrily, "You! You're bullying me!"

Looking at the girl's shy yet angry expression, Mu Cangnan almost melted...

He held Li Xiyue's hand tightly, as if she would evaporate into thin air if he let go.

He pursed his lips, licked the corner of his lips clean, and said, "Um...girl, can we be reasonable? You attacked me first, I just retaliated...just once..."

Li Xiyue stared wide-eyed in astonishment. How come he hadn't noticed in his past life that Mu Cangnan possessed such an unreasonable ability?!

She stomped her foot angrily and said, "What sneak attack? I just... just... lightly touched your lips! What? Are you a tiger now, and I can't even touch you?!"

Looking at the girl's puffed-up face, Mu Cangnan couldn't help but curl a wicked smile into his lips.

This girl is like someone who's sucked on honey; the more you eat, the more addicted you become.

He nodded seriously. "Of course you can't touch me! I'm such a proper person, I've never been touched by a girl in my life! If you do, you'll have to take responsibility!"

Li Xiyue was stunned into silence. "I'll take responsibility?..."

The next moment, she suddenly realized something and said confidently, "I'll take responsibility then. Do I have time?"

The girl acted unpredictably, leaving Mu Cangnan momentarily stunned by her question.

He asked, "What do you mean? What's wrong with having time?"

Li Xiyue said, "We're just killing time anyway, why don't we get a marriage certificate?"

Mu Cangnan, "..."

They got their marriage certificate already?!

The system called out in the space, "Mu Jiuhong, Mu Jiuchun, and your mother-in-law are here! They've already gone upstairs!"

Do you want to see them now? Let Mu Cangnan know about your relationship with Mu Jiuhong now, okay?

Upon hearing the system's notification in the space, Li Xiyue used her X-ray vision to penetrate the wall and immediately saw Mu Jiuchun running up the stairs, with Mu Jiuhong supporting Li Xiulan behind her.

She pursed her lips slightly and said to Mu Cangnan, "I have something to do, I'll be going now! We'll settle our score later!"

She hurriedly ran out of Mu Cangnan's ward. She couldn't go down the stairs at this time, otherwise she would definitely run into the Mu family.

She ran straight to the corner of the corridor and asked the system to set up a spatial passage for her, through which she returned home.

Mu Cangnan was surprised to see Li Xiyue run away. He reached out to grab her, but missed.

"Yue'er!"

However, the girl ran away in a flash.

He punched the bed in frustration, reflecting on his mistake.

It's all his fault for being too hasty. How could he not control himself and kiss her again!

Li Xiyue must have been frightened by him, that's why she ran away!

He still had many questions for her to ask!

How did she end up in front of his house? How did she know how to drive? How did she know first aid?

Most importantly, what is her home address? Who are her parents? This will help him write the marriage application!

Just as he was deeply reflecting on himself and almost imagined writing a 10,000-word self-criticism, the ward door opened again.

He called out casually, "Yue'er..."

However, the person who walked in was not Li Xiyue, whom he had expected!

When Li Xiulan saw her son lying in the hospital bed, tears streamed down her face. "My son! What happened to you? If your leader hadn't come to deliver the message, I wouldn't have known you were injured!"

She rushed to her son's bedside and held his hand tightly.

She has two sons and two daughters, but she loves this son the most!

Mu Jiuhong frowned slightly. What had she just heard?

Yue'er?

Li Xiyue?

She asked, "Third brother, what were you shouting just now?"

To cover his embarrassment, Mu Cangnan coughed lightly and said, "Just now... I just asked, who was it?"

Mu Jiuhong muttered, "Who is it? Yue'er?"

The two words seem to be pronounced differently, so how did she hear "Yue'er"?

She must have been bullied terribly by Li Xiyue. The name Li Xiyue is etched into her bones, which is why she is having this auditory hallucination!

Mu Jiuchun walked to her brother's bedside and said, "Third brother, how did you get injured at this time? Our family has been bullied terribly by Cheng Xiaohui and her daughter!"

"Li Wenbo is a scoundrel! He's determined to divorce my eldest sister! You have to stand up for her! Our women can't be bullied by others!!"

Li Xiulan scolded, "What are you saying, girl? Your third brother is sick, didn't you see? We can talk about it after he gets better!"

Mu Jiuchun said, "Third Brother only has superficial injuries. The doctor just said that he can be discharged in a couple of days. What else are you worried about?!"

Third brother, go find Li Wenbo as soon as you're discharged from the hospital. We can't let this go like this, all sluggish and pathetic!

Sitting by the hospital bed, Mu Jiuhong cried and said, "Third brother, I don't want to live anymore! I... I'd rather jump into the river and die!"

If I get divorced, how am I supposed to go to work? The whole company will laugh me to death!

Mu Cangnan said, "Big sister, what exactly happened between you and brother-in-law? Can you explain it to me clearly?"
