After leaving the restaurant, Mu Xiaocheng and Ji Huaishen took Mu Xiaocheng home.
Since the explosion at Langmingyuan, Ji Huaishen hasn't made any special effort to find another house. After all, he originally planned to leave after settling things here.
So he now lives in a small villa under his name.
The house, as always, suited Ji Huaishen's personality perfectly—simple yet luxurious, decorated in cool tones.
Mu Xiaocheng followed Ji Huaishen inside, and coincidentally, Chi Yan and Shang Qi were already there.
Lian Xu stood in the lobby carrying a medicine box; he looked like he had just arrived.
"sister in law!"
Chi Yan's first reaction upon seeing Mu Xiaocheng was surprise.
Seeing Ji Huaishen and Mu Xiaocheng holding hands again surprised them even more.
Have they... made up?
Has Brother Shen... overcome that hurdle?
Seeing this scene, Shang Qi was actually devastated.
His premonition was right; the lady did indeed return.
He couldn't escape this fate after all.
If I had known, I shouldn't have stopped Madam from seeing Mr. Now look what's happened, Madam is definitely holding a grudge.
It's so tragic just thinking about it, isn't it?
Hearing Chi Yan's voice, Mu Xiaocheng turned to look at him and waved, "I'm back."
She smiled sweetly, her bright eyes sparkling like starlight, as if she had accidentally fallen to earth.
Suddenly, her gaze swept over Shang Qi, who was standing next to Chi Yan.
He narrowed his eyes dangerously.
She's a vengeful person, so of course she'll settle scores with Shang Qi.
But she was in a good mood today, so she decided to let him off the hook for now and just keep track of the expenses.
Lian Xu carried the medicine box, walked up to Ji Huaishen, nodded to him, and said, "Sir, it's time to change your medicine."
The gentleman went out wearing his prosthetic leg again today.
His leg wound hadn't fully healed to begin with, and the excessive exercise made the recovery process very slow.
Ji Huaishen released Mu Xiaocheng's hand and affectionately pinched her cheek.
"You play with them downstairs for a while, I'll go upstairs to change your dressing."
"Can I go with you?" Mu Xiaocheng looked at him, waiting for his answer.
She wanted to see his injury, but she didn't care.
Back on that ship, he did this in order to hold off Zhou Guangbo and give her time to survive.
His injury was actually a manifestation of his love for her.
It was like a brand, permanently etched into the depths of her heart.
"cannot."
Ji Huaishen's expression changed slightly, and he resolutely refused.
Mu Xiaocheng knew that he must be in great pain, not only because of the pain in his wound, but also because of the heartache he felt.
She didn't insist on following, and obediently nodded.
She knew he had his own dignity.
"Then I'll wait for you downstairs."
"Hmm." Ji Huaishen responded lightly and followed Lian Xu upstairs.
Because he wears a prosthetic leg, his gait is somewhat unnatural.
Especially when going up or down stairs.
Going upstairs requires using your thigh muscles to lift the prosthesis, step by step, which is not only very strenuous but also looks quite awkward.
However, in order to prevent Mu Xiaocheng from seeing his disheveled state, Ji Huaishen tried his best to look like a normal person with every step he took.
Therefore, what he had to pay was the excruciating pain from the amputation wound on his thigh.
Even though he was very careful and tried very hard to hide it, Mu Xiaocheng could still tell.
His walking posture was awkward and it was heartbreaking.
For some reason, Mu Xiaocheng's eyes welled up with tears again.
