However, even though she guessed correctly, he couldn't tell her the truth, lest she worry.
"Madam, please don't overthink it. The master is really tired. As you know, he was seriously injured before and is currently in the recovery period, so it's easy for him to get tired."
Lian Xu's words made a lot of sense, but Mu Xiaocheng was only half convinced.
"Then, sister-in-law, let me take you home."
Chi Yan listened to Ji Huaishen. Since his brother had given the order, he was determined to send his sister-in-law back safely.
Mu Xiaocheng stood still, without moving.
She bit her lip and looked up at Lian Xu: "I want to go see him, is that alright?"
She wasn't stupid; she knew that Lian Xu wasn't telling the truth.
Even if Ji Huaishen is exhausted, he will definitely tell her in person.
They won't send a messenger.
Clearly, something must have happened again.
Lian Xu didn't know how to answer Mu Xiaocheng.
The reason why the master sent him to deliver the message was very simple: he didn't want the lady to see him in this state.
But he didn't have the authority to prevent his wife from going up.
"Well, you shouldn't go up there. Let the gentleman rest well."
"I won't bother him." Mu Xiaocheng's eyes were clear and bright, and she looked pure and innocent.
Lian Xu fell silent.
There was nothing he could do; his wife was adamant, and he had no reason to persuade her otherwise.
Seeing that Lian Xu was silent, Mu Xiaocheng took a deep breath and said, "I'll go check on him and he'll come down."
In fact, she is just like Ji Huaishen.
I didn't dare to look at his injuries.
She was afraid that if she saw it, she wouldn't be able to hold back her heartache and would burst into tears in front of him.
That would make him even more upset.
But she went anyway.
Because she wanted to be with him, she was willing to overcome any obstacle with him, no matter what.
When Mu Xiaocheng arrived at Ji Huaishen's door, she did not go in immediately.
She stood outside the door, mustered her courage, and knocked.
"Ji Huaishen, are you inside?"
Her voice has always been soft and sweet, making it pleasant and soothing to listen to, no matter when you listen.
Ji Huaishen sat in a wheelchair inside the room, with the lights off.
Only a faint light shone through the window, illuminating his fair and handsome face.
Upon hearing her voice, a glimmer of light flashed in his previously dull eyes, but it vanished in an instant.
He didn't answer, and the noise from outside the door started again.
"Ji Huaishen, I know you're inside, I... just want to see you."
Look at him?
What's so interesting about him?
Ji Huaishen lowered his eyes, staring at his legs, placed his hands on the armrests of the wheelchair, and closed his eyes.
With a hoarse voice, she said, "I'm tired. Let Chi Yan take you home."
Mu Xiaocheng didn't believe him.
That might fool a little kid, but how could she possibly believe it?
He never complains of being tired.
He didn't want to see her.
Mu Xiaocheng knows.
He was always like this, bearing all his pain alone without telling her, and even trying to drive her out of his world.
Mu Xiaocheng leaned against the door and suddenly remembered that the two of them had leaned against the door before, one inside and one outside.
That time, she locked herself inside, but this time, it was him.
In fact, they really are quite destined to be together.
It's as if they were born for each other.
In the past, he had done everything in his power to save her from the nightmares of her childhood.
And now, she wants to help him too.
They were each other's salvation; it seemed like fate was always playing this kind of joke on them.
