Chapter 332 Cui Xiao, are you fucking serious?
As the ward door opened, Cui Xiao was reaching for the water glass that Mo Ziqian had handed her. Just as her fingertips touched the glass, she heard a male voice with a smile, "I heard that Mr. Mo was injured, so I came to see him."
Cui Xiao paused, looked up and saw Zhou Mubin standing at the door, holding a high-end fruit basket. He was dressed in a suit and tie, his hair neatly styled, and his eyes were filled with familiar warmth as he looked at her, as if the two were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.
But this enthusiasm made Cui Xiao subconsciously take a half step back and create some distance.
Mo Ziqian's gentle face darkened, and he looked up at Zhou Mubin, his tone polite but distant, "Lawyer Zhou is quite well-informed, finding out about my injury so quickly. He must also know how my injury was caused."
Zhou Mubin seemed oblivious to Mo Ziqian's hostility, walking straight to the bedside and placing the fruit basket on the bedside table. "I came here today to thank Mr. Mo. If it weren't for you, it would have been Cui Xiao who was burned. I, Zhou Mubin, will remember this favor."
Eloquent tongue, truly befitting a lawyer.
Mo Ziqian clearly didn't mean that, but Zhou Mubin interpreted it as something else entirely.
It's as if Cui Xiao is one of his people.
Before Mo Ziqian could speak, Zhou Mubin continued, "Cui Xiao, I've already found a caregiver for Mr. Mo to help out, so you can get some rest too."
Cui Xiao immediately refused, her tone polite but with a clear sense of boundaries, "Lawyer Zhou, you don't need to be so polite. If you need a caregiver, I will. Besides, even if there is a caregiver, I will not leave."
Cui Xiao knew perfectly well what Zhou Mubin was planning.
Zhou Mubin's smile froze for a moment, then returned to normal. He turned to look at Mo Ziqian, a hint of provocation in his eyes. "Mr. Mo, you must know how busy Cui Xiao is. I think you wouldn't want her to devote all her energy to you and affect her work, would you?"
Mo Ziqian clung to him, and the silent battle between the men began.
He didn't continue following Zhou Mubin's words, but his voice turned colder, "Attorney Zhou, your girlfriend suddenly went crazy and came to Miss Cui to seek revenge. Instead of spending your time teaching me how to do things at the hospital, you should teach your girlfriend how to be a decent human being."
Cui Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously glanced at Zhou Mubin's expression out of the corner of her eye.
Zhou Mubin's face darkened, and he said in a somber tone, "I've already broken up with Jin Moli. In a sense, I have no relationship with her whatsoever."
Mo Ziqian said, "But the reason she came to cause trouble for Miss Cui is because of you, that's beyond doubt."
Zhou Mubin refused to back down, saying, "She is no one to me and has independent thoughts. What she does is her personal matter and has nothing to do with me."
Mo Ziqian sneered, "Is that so? Lawyer Zhou looks very innocent."
Zhou Mubin: "I am indeed innocent."
The atmosphere was tense, and even the water molecules in the air seemed to be condensing.
Cui Xiao suddenly had the ability to imagine the two of them confronting each other in court.
She stepped forward, breaking the tense atmosphere.
Cui Xiao looked at Zhou Mubin and said firmly, "Lawyer Zhou, we welcome you to visit the patient, but if you have other intentions, please leave. Mr. Mo needs to rest quietly."
us?
She and him?
Mu Bin's face finally turned cold. He stared at Mo Ziqian, his tone laced with sarcasm, "Mr. Mo, you've played the hero and won the beauty's heart?"
Mo Ziqian's eyes were as cold as ice; Zhou Mubin had worn away almost all of his good manners. "What kind of answer does Attorney Zhou hope to hear?"
A battleground between men, about to erupt.
Mo Ziqian's expression held a hint of disdain. "In other words, what answer is Zhou Lu afraid to hear? That we're already together? If that's the case, won't Zhou Lu be disappointed?"
Zhou Mubin's gaze grew increasingly unfriendly. "How could that be? Perhaps I should congratulate you both."
Upon hearing this, Cui Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
As if the last remaining fortress had collapsed, she frowned and suddenly lowered her voice, saying, "Lawyer Zhou, then you should congratulate us."
Suddenly, Mo Ziqian's pupils dilated, and he subconsciously looked at Cui Xiao.
Zhou Mubin's transformation was visible to the naked eye; even the veins on his forehead were throbbing.
He looked at Cui Xiao, as if wanting to confirm again.
Cui Xiao remained calm as she silently looked at Mo Ziqian. She slowly took a step forward, bent down, and the next second, placed a kiss on his pale lips.
Mo Ziqian was stunned.
Zhou Mubin panicked completely.
Almost instantly, Zhou Mubin darted forward, grabbed Cui Xiao's wrist, and pulled her up.
He stared intently at her. "Cui Xiao, are you fucking serious?"
Cui Xiao gritted her teeth, her initial excitement completely shattered. "Didn't Zhou Lu see? I'm Mr. Mo's girlfriend now."
After saying that, Zhou Mubin felt a sudden pain in his heart, and he wished he could crush Cui Xiao's wrist.
But it was only for a moment. Zhou Mubin didn't linger and quickly left the ward.
He slammed the ward door shut with a loud bang.
Cui Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned to look at Mo Ziqian, slightly nervous, "I'm sorry, I used you as a shield without your consent just now."
Mo Ziqian's expression softened a bit. "Are you stupid? I was the one who got the better deal, so why are you apologizing?"
Cui Xiao felt embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Mo Ziqian.
After all, it was her first kiss.
Cui Xiao: "Thank you."
Mo Ziqian looked at her in confusion, "Thank me for what?"
Cui Xiao couldn't put it into words; she felt there were too many things she should thank Mo Ziqian for.
For example, I saved her today and helped her just now.
For a prodigy like him to achieve this is truly remarkable. "Mo Ziqian, I've been thinking about it. I think I can now answer the question you asked me during dinner."
Mo Ziqian raised an eyebrow, his eyes revealing anticipation.
Cui Xiao sat down and suddenly said very seriously, "Mo Ziqian, actually, I've lived this long and never had a boyfriend, nor have I ever fantasized about what my future husband would be like. Perhaps there are many things I might do wrong. If I do anything wrong, I hope you can correct me in time. I will try my best to be a good girlfriend."
Mo Ziqian smiled, looking at her earnest eyes, and felt a joy he had never felt before. "My dear girlfriend, I have no experience either, so let's give each other pointers."
The bright lights in the ward fell on the two of them, dispelling the lingering gloom.
Cui Xiao met his gaze and said, "Mr. Mo, please guide me for the rest of my life."
On the other side, Zhou Mubin got into his car as soon as he left the inpatient building. He stepped on the gas and the car sped up to 200 miles per hour.
As you can imagine, the consequences were dire.
I rear-ended it by accident.
