"Liyue, you..."
"You...you guys last night...!"
In the ward, Bai Jingxuan, whose charm remained undiminished, stared at Chu Liyue with a cracked expression, unable to utter a complete sentence for a moment.
In the morning, Chu Liyue told her that she would pack her things and take Xiao Wujie back to the manor.
Thanks to Xiao Wujie's birthday banquet, this was the first time Chu Liyue had stayed at the Chu family's old residence for more than three days. Because of Xiao Wujie's presence, the family rarely had the chance to sit together for three meals a day, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
Xiao Wujie's birthday banquet had just ended, and she was about to leave. Bai Jingxuan was still a little reluctant to part with her.
Even knowing her decisive nature, I still tried to persuade her to stay, but she always brushed me off with the excuse that Xiao Wujie wasn't used to sleeping in the same bed.
After saying that, he turned around and went upstairs without looking back, waking Xiao Wujie up so they could leave together.
She sighed inwardly. She was about to ask Chu Yuntian and Chu Nanfeng to see them off when she saw Chu Liyue with a cold look in her eyes, carrying Xiao Wujie downstairs in a hurry, and coldly instructing the driver to go to Chu's private hospital.
Needless to say, she knew that Xiao Wujie must be sick again. They had just left when she followed them.
At first, she was puzzled as to why the person had suddenly fallen ill overnight when they were perfectly fine the previous night.
When her gaze fell upon the ambiguous red marks on Xiao Wujie's neck and under the collar of his hospital gown, she immediately understood what had happened.
I guess I had too much to do last night and ended up in the hospital from exhaustion.
She actually thought Chu Liyue was in a hurry to return to the manor because Xiao Wujie couldn't sleep well due to his unfamiliarity with the bed. Now it seems that it was probably because it was inconvenient for her to do things in the old house!
Meeting Bai Jingxuan's gaze, which was as if she were looking at a rapist, Chu Liyue nodded expressionlessly.
"My precious Wu Jie just celebrated his birthday, and you... are you in such a hurry?"
Seeing Chu Liyue's open and honest demeanor, Bai Jingxuan felt a shock to her soul.
Chu Liyue couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Was she in a hurry?
She took a light breath, then lowered her eyes slightly, remaining silent, as if she had tacitly agreed with Bai Jingxuan's words.
She knew Xiao Wujie's personality well; his relentless pursuit, clinging to her, and teasing her stemmed from his complete love for her.
So in order to win her unconditional love, he even chose to put aside his dignity, which he valued more than his own life, and used such means to try to achieve a perfect relationship with her.
He set aside his dignity for her, and she would never let his dignity fall in front of others.
She's taking the blame!
"Liyue, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but girls should be more reserved."
Isn't she reserved enough? If it were you, you probably would have taken advantage of her long ago!
"I know that Wu Jie is very beautiful and alluring, but he is young and his body is so delicate, you have to be patient with him."
She's practically turned into a Ninja Turtle from holding back...
"You can't just ignore Wu Jie because he's well-behaved and obedient..."
Seeing that she was about to be called a beast, Chu Liyue couldn't help but interrupt the spellcasting with a dark face.
"Mom, you're disturbing his rest! I'll take you out!"
After saying that, he pushed Bai Jingxuan, who wanted to continue speaking, out of the room and then blocked her from entering, citing the rule that too many people were not allowed to accompany her in the ward.
"He's really forgotten his mother now that he's found his lover..." Hmm... it seems he's never remembered her at all.
Seeing that Chu Liyue had ruthlessly kicked her out, Bai Jingxuan couldn't help but mutter something under her breath.
Looking at the closed ward door, she sighed softly, and her gaze gradually returned to calm.
That's great. The two darlings have finally taken that final step, and it's a sure thing that they'll get married and register their marriage when they reach the appropriate age.
Her daughter is aloof and hard to coax, so she's looking forward to getting her a cute little one to play with soon.
Hmm... it's going to be tough on Wu Jie, my precious baby...
Looking at my daughter's fierce and predatory appearance, I wonder if that child can withstand it...
Back in her hospital room, Chu Liyue couldn't help but sigh. With Bai Jingxuan's big mouth, not to mention the distant future, she probably wouldn't be able to shake off her image as a ravenous wolf in the Chu family anytime soon.
Sitting back down on the edge of the hospital bed, she gave Xiao Wujie's ear a couple of deflated tugs.
What a troublesome ancestor! He causes trouble, and she has to take the blame.
Seeing that his dry, pale lips were chapped from lack of moisture, she carefully took a cotton swab, dipped it in warm water, and gently applied it to his lips.
She stopped what she was doing only when she saw that his lips had regained some moisture, and quietly gazed at his sickly and haggard face, which could not hide his stunning beauty.
Perhaps because the injected medication contained sedatives, he was sleeping soundly, his eyes and brows serene, his face peaceful.
If you ignore the weariness, it's absolutely beautiful.
Chu Liyue gazed at his sleeping face with deep, thoughtful eyes.
She could sense that Xiao Wujie's urgency and his desperate desire to take this final step with her stemmed from his inner unease.
He was afraid that his condition would deteriorate day by day, so he wanted to complete everything while his body still allowed it.
He fears the future is too uncertain, so he wants to preserve the good times in the present.
Perhaps there's another secret he can't bring himself to tell: he's afraid of losing her, so he desperately wants to possess everything about her.
She knew all of this, so even though she knew his body might not be able to handle it, she still chose to go crazy with him.
The illness had already taken a toll on his body, and she didn't want her anxieties to cause him further suffering.
Now that you have the title, everything I have belongs to you.
So, my sweetheart, can you rest easy now?
It wasn't until the sun had completely set and darkness was approaching that Xiao Wujie slowly woke up, his eyelashes trembling.
