Chapter 201 Hoping for a Good Outcome
After visiting the city, Lu Qingqing received many orders.
When the villagers of Liuyun Village returned home, they all grinned.
Because Lu Qingqing said that the workshop would hire more people in a few days, so they would take in the woman who came today first!
As for the men and women, the village is responding to the government's call to reclaim land outside the mountains and forests to grow medicinal herbs. They will have something to do in the future and won't be idle at home without work!
The whole village cheered like victorious soldiers returning from a battle.
The cart drivers from other villages were so envious!
When they reached the fork in the road, Mu Daye wanted to turn into his own village, but Liu'er wouldn't let him.
She didn't want to go back to the Mu family; she wanted to stay with Lu Qingqing!
"This won't do, how can this be? That's someone else's house."
Mu Daye's voice changed with anxiety.
Liu'er was afraid of people and felt safe leaning against Mu Daye, but she also wanted to go with Lu Qingqing, so she was anxious and cried.
She cries silently, her tears like pear blossoms in the rain, her cries twisting and aching in one's heart.
As Lu Qingqing got out of the car, Mu Daye came up to her, huffing and puffing, "Miss Lu, it's getting late. Could you let Liu'er stay with you for the night? I'll pick her up first thing tomorrow morning. I'll pay you."
"..."
"I want to sleep in the middle!" Qiaoxiu said first.
"Could you let me stay for one night? Liu'er is timid," Mu Daye said to Qiaoxiu.
Qiaoxiu was not happy, "Then I'll sleep half the night and she'll sleep half the night."
"That Liu'er can't sleep in the first half of the night, otherwise she wouldn't be able to sleep."
Lu Qingqing didn't speak, and the two of them started discussing it back and forth.
Finally, Mu Daye noticed that Lu Qingqing was squinting and not saying anything.
"Dr. Lu, what are you thinking about?"
Could it be that they don't want to agree?
But Liu'er looked so pitiful...
"Oh, I was thinking..." Lu Qingqing grinned.
"How about I sleep in the middle, with a woman on each side? It sounds pretty good."
"..."
At this moment, Mu Daye was unaware of the terrible mistake he had made.
He didn't go home at all that night. He was afraid that Liu'er might suddenly wake up in the middle of the night, be scared and cry because she couldn't see anyone familiar, and look for him...
So he spent the night on the donkey cart.
He started waiting for the Lu family to open the door as early as dawn, and only after seeing Old Man Lu lead the horse to the hillside did he come out from under the wall and knock on the door.
Lu Feng opened the door.
"Brother Mu, so early?"
"Yes, I was afraid of bothering you too much."
Mu Daye looked over and saw that Lu Feng and Lu Yun had just been sitting on wooden stumps in the yard, drinking porridge.
He met the Lu family father and son yesterday and felt that they were upright people, so he felt at ease letting Liu'er stay for one night.
Sure enough, they're all avoiding it.
"I'm so sorry, I'll take him away right away. I'm sorry for the trouble."
Lu Feng and Lu Yun exchanged slightly sympathetic glances and replied politely.
At this point, Mu Daye thought the two were just feeling sorry for him because his wife was stupid. Then he realized what was going on.
Liu'er won't go with her!
For just one night, she clung to Lu Qingqing's back, never leaving her side, just like Qiaoxiu had done back then.
Lu Yun was puzzled: "My little sister probably has sticky glue on her. Whoever sleeps in the same bed with her will get stuck."
Mu Daye stood there blankly, looking dazed.
They've been together for half a year, but Liu'er doesn't cling to him at all.
I only lean on him when we go out.
Now that Lu Qingqing is here, she's completely ignoring him!
Upon seeing him arrive, he hid behind Lu Qingqing!
She was terrified he would take her away!
What should he do? He really shouldn't have let her stay the night!
"Liu'er, come home with me."
Liu'er ignored her.
Mu Daye was both anxious and scared, so he came over and grabbed her hand.
He rarely held her hand before because she didn't like it, but he didn't care this time.
He grabbed the person and left.
With a burst of strength, Liu'er broke free and ran back to Lu Qingqing's side.
"I won't leave! You go! You leave!"
"Liu'er!" Mu Daye's voice was deep, his chest heaving.
The scar on his forehead seemed to have turned red, making him look angry.
A layer of tears welled up in Liu'er's eyes.
Mu Daye immediately panicked.
"I'm not cursing you, I...I...Dr. Lu..." He looked at Lu Qingqing for help.
Lu Qingqing was also in a dilemma; she didn't want to be the bad guy.
But what can you do if you're naturally likable?
"Stay by my side for now," Lu Qingqing said.
Actually, she had another consideration.
Mu Daye treats Liu'er very well, but his relationship with her is not legitimate.
We don't know anything about Liu'er's past, whether she had a husband, or if so, whether they were a loving couple.
Therefore, since Mu Daye chose to restore Liu'er's senses, she felt it would be best to wait for Liu'er to regain her senses and make her own choice.
"I will do my best to help her recover as soon as possible."
"Mu Daye, true love cannot be separated from an upright and honest person."
“You are an upright person. Since you have chosen to wake her up, you should be prepared for the worst.”
"No matter the outcome, once a move is made, there's no going back."
Mu Daye stood frozen in place.
He had certainly considered the worst-case scenario.
But every time he thinks about it, his heart feels empty, making him instinctively want to escape.
He thought he should spend as much time with her as possible; if she left later, at least he would have had those days...
But he hadn't considered whether Liu'er would be willing.
If she really has a husband, when she wakes up and recalls that she once slept in the same bed with another man, will it make her feel worried and disgusted?
Mu Daye was torn and in pain, his eyes struggling for a long time before finally speaking with difficulty.
"I understand, Dr. Lu."
"Then, let her stay with you for now. I'll go back and bring her things over."
"She's actually quite spoiled. She's picky about food, and her temper is unpredictable. She gets upset if her clothes get even a little dirty. My mother used to take care of her when she bathed, but from now on... I hope you'll put in more effort to look after her..."
Mu Daye spoke haltingly for a long time, but couldn't find any more words.
Lu Qingqing felt that he was like a fish out of water; his words were like his breath, and once he finished speaking, his life force was almost gone.
She wanted to offer a few more words of comfort, but Mu Daye had already abruptly turned away.
Suddenly, Liu'er ran out from behind Lu Qingqing and grabbed Mu Daye's sleeve.
"for you."
She took the lollipop Lu Qingqing had given her, held it up, and brought it to his mouth.
A surge of warmth seemed to rush into his cold heart, allowing the tall, muscular man to catch his breath.
He looked down at the delicate and slender woman, his eyes welling up with tears, and took the lollipop.
"Isn't this for the children?"
"You eat!" Liu'er frowned, looking somewhat fierce.
"Okay, I'll eat, I'll eat," Mu Daye quickly said.
Then, in a low voice, he instructed, "Stay close to Doctor Lu. I'll come to see you when I'm not out on escort missions. Tell me what you want, and I'll bring it to you when I get back."
The two were of vastly different sizes; the woman only reached the man's neck, yet they seemed strangely well-matched.
One head bowed, the other tilted its head back, and off-screen, a voice said: Give me a kiss!
Lu Qingqing smacked her lips.
She thought that Liu'er wasn't entirely indifferent to Mu Daye.
At least for now, with her blank slate, she still treats Mu Daye differently.
She hoped that things would end well for the two of them.
Liu'er returned to Lu Qingqing's side and tugged at her sleeve: "Little Red Riding Hood, the Big Bad Wolf..."
Lu Qingqing smiled and said, "Okay, I'll continue the story tonight."
