He was wearing home clothes and looked a little unwell, with pale lips and droopy eyelids.
Ruan Mengmeng frowned. Just as she was about to ask a question, a whistle came from downstairs.
Mu Heng didn't see Ruan Mengmeng on the balcony. Suddenly he heard a whistle, and then heard someone downstairs say, "Sister-in-law, you got up so soon?"
Muchen!
Mu Heng paused, his face turned slightly cold. He turned around and saw Ruan Mengmeng still stretching her legs on the balcony.
Ruan Mengmeng put down her legs, a puzzled look on her face. She was about to look outside, but was stopped by a big hand. She heard him say in a domineering tone: "Don't look!"
Mu Heng held Ruan Mengmeng in his arms and glanced coldly at the people downstairs.
Mu Heng saw Mu Chen's evil smile and his face was expressionless.
But Mu Chen could see that Mu Heng was angry.
He smiled evilly, and the arrogance in his eyes bloomed wantonly in the deserted yard. He had waited for so many years and finally found Mu Heng's weakness.
He boldly met Mu Heng's icy gaze, pointed at Ruan Mengmeng, said something in lip language, and then left.
After Mu Heng saw Mu Chen's lip movements, anger burst out in his eyes, but he suppressed it.
Muchen said: I want her!
Mu Heng is ultimately unable to avoid this situation. The person he wants to be sincere to will face the covetousness of his brothers.
but!
Mu Heng would never let Mu Chen get close to Ruan Mengmeng.
Ruan Mengmeng was forcibly held in Mu Heng's arms, unable to move. She sensed the heat coming from Mu Heng's body, and curiously reached out to hold his hand. Wherever she touched, she felt hot.
She pushed Mu Heng away forcefully, raised her hand to his forehead, frowned and said, "You have a fever." And the temperature was very high.
Mu Heng's face flushed deeply. He endured the swelling in his head and shook his head, "It's okay."
He let go of Ruan Mengmeng and turned to leave the balcony.
Ruan Mengmeng didn't ask about the accident that had just happened. She saw Mu Heng's body seemed to shake. She ran over in horror, held his arm, and hugged his waist. Mu Heng leaned all his strength on Ruan Mengmeng.
Ruan Mengmeng helped him into the room with difficulty. As soon as Mu Heng touched the bed, he fell on it and fell asleep.
Ruan Mengmeng hurried downstairs and asked the servant to get the medicine box, making a big noise.
She was not even aware of her own inappropriate behavior.
Zhang Wan came out of the kitchen upon hearing the noise and asked quickly, "What happened?"
Ruan Mengmeng took the medicine box from the servant and said to Zhang Wan, "Mu Heng has a fever." Then she bowed, apologized for her impoliteness, and went upstairs.
It was the first time Zhang Wan saw Ruan Mengmeng like this. She opened her mouth in surprise, then reacted and chuckled, "This girl."
It seems that Mu Heng's fate can be improved.
Zhang Wan went back to the kitchen. Since Mu Heng was sick, she would prepare some porridge and side dishes and send them upstairs.
Wen Shanshan, who was standing at the corner of the first floor, heard that Mu Heng was sick, and her eyes flickered slightly.
Especially when she saw Ruan Mengmeng running upstairs anxiously with the medicine box in her arms, she smiled bitterly in her heart.
If she wasn't the person he liked, she wouldn't even have the qualifications to sit by his bed and take care of him when he was sick.
Wen Shanshan suddenly remembered what Muchen said unintentionally last night. Her intuition told her that Muchen's next target would be Ruan Mengmeng.
What is the reason?
In addition to being the woman that Mu Heng likes, she is also a top-notch beautiful woman.
What man doesn't want that?
Ruan Mengmeng returned to the room and found Mu Heng still sleeping soundly. His face was flushed and his lips were dry.
She took out a thermometer from the medicine box and checked Mu Heng's body temperature.
Thirty-nine degrees...
Ruan Mengmeng's eyes were slightly cold. She didn't think Mu Heng was the kind of person who would let his body run wild. The temperature was not low last night, so how could he have a cold or a fever?
Ruan Mengmeng stared at Mu Heng's face, then moved her gaze down to his waist. Her eyes flickered slightly and a thought flashed through her mind.
Could it be that...
Ruan Mengmeng turned over Mu Heng's body, lifted up his home clothes, and found that the wound on his lower back had split open again at some point, and it was inflamed and red.
Ruan Mengmeng frowned with displeasure in her eyes.
Mu Heng's behavior this time really shows that he does not take care of his body.
Even though he knew he was injured, he still insisted on soaking in water.
Mu Heng was in a deep sleep and had no idea what Ruan Mengmeng was thinking.
Ruan Mengmeng fed Mu Heng some antipyretic medicine, then took out the bandages and gauze and cleaned Mu Heng's wound again.
Mu Heng was lying on the bed, his clothes lifted up by Ruan Mengmeng. Ruan Mengmeng looked at the hideous red wound and paused for a moment, with a complicated look in her eyes.
She had never inquired about the background of the Mu family, and what kind of high-risk job Mu Heng was engaged in, but he actually had knife wounds on his body, and not just one or two.
On his fair skin, the faint scars still silently commemorate his past.
Ruan Mengmeng concealed the expression in her eyes and carefully cleaned Mu Heng's wound.
After Ruan Mengmeng finished re-bandaging Mu Heng, she was about to pull down his clothes. At this time, Zhang Wan happened to walk into the room with some porridge and side dishes.
Zhang Wan was holding a plate, and her eyes caught Ruan Mengmeng's action. She took a step back in surprise and asked, "Did I disturb you two?"
Ruan Mengmeng's ears flushed, and she shook her head and explained, "No, I just bandaged his wound."
After she finished speaking, she quickly pulled off Mu Heng's clothes, then carefully let Mu Heng turn over and lie on his back.
Zhang Wan understood. When she heard that Mu Heng was injured, she didn't look surprised. It seemed like she was used to it.
Zhang Wan placed some porridge and side dishes on the small table in the room and said to Ruan Mengmeng, "I just prepared some side dishes and porridge. When Xiaoheng wakes up, let him have some to fill his appetite."
Ruan Mengmeng nodded silently and said, "Okay, thank you, auntie."
Zhang Wan smiled: "That's not the case."
She walked over and said, "It's our family that should thank you. You've worked so hard to take care of Xiaoheng."
Ruan Mengmeng pursed her lips and smiled, her expression indifferent.
Zhang Wan was an experienced person, and she saw through Ruan Mengmeng's thoughts at a glance: "Are you scared by Xiao Heng?"
Ruan Mengmeng was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly.
Mu Heng, who was hugging her domineeringly one second ago, collapsed on the bed the next second.
How can you not scare Ruan Mengmeng?
In her mind, Mu Heng was a person in very good condition and with boundless abilities. At this moment, he fell down in an instant.
How could she not be surprised?
Zhang Wan patted Ruan Mengmeng's shoulder, glanced at Mu Heng, and comforted her, "Don't worry, Xiao Heng has had a fever countless times since he was a child because of wound inflammation. His fever this time is also normal, but it is not good."
When Ruan Mengmeng heard Zhang Wan's words, her expression was slightly stunned. She never thought that Mu Heng was like this in the past.
She immediately thought of the large and small light-colored scars on Mu Heng's body. Could those be the result of his experiences in his early years?
