Chapter 51: Honesty
After the old man's condition stabilized, Mu Yichen took Nan Xi back home.
After a tiring day, Nan Xi walked in and fell on the sofa.
Mu Yichen walked over, helped her take off her coat, held her in his arms, poured a glass of water and handed it to her, "If you are tired, I will carry you to rest."
Nan Xi and Mu Yichen have not been together for long, but when she is with him, she always feels an indescribable sense of comfort and trust.
In addition, he would help her solve everything and not let her worry about trivial matters.
Just like today's treatment plan, it was properly agreed upon by him after consulting many experts.
"Thank you, Mu Yichen." Nan Xi expressed her sincere gratitude.
She could feel that his kindness to her came from the heart.
After hearing this, Mu Yichen looked over with a smile and asked, "How do you thank me?"
As he spoke, he moved closer to Nan Xi.
Before Nan Xi could react, Mu Yichen stepped forward, held her in his arms, and kissed her unexpectedly. Nan Xi's breathing stopped and she closed her eyes.
Mu Yichen turned over and pressed on top of her, their soft lips pressed tightly against each other. His other hand wrapped around her waist, locking her tightly. Nan Xi's already embarrassed expression instantly turned red.
An hour later, Mu Yichen stopped. Nan Xi was so tired that she couldn't speak, and her body felt as tired as if it had been run over by a stone.
She pushed Mu Yichen away angrily, "It's all your fault."
Mu Yichen smiled and picked her up, took her to the bathroom and helped her clean up.
After taking a bath, Nan Xi felt a little relieved of her fatigue and felt much more comfortable. She leaned against the head of the bed and watched Mu Yichen blow her hair.
Such a cold and aloof person, yet he could do such a thoughtful thing. Nan Xi was moved and couldn't help asking him a question.
"Mu Yichen, why did you marry me?"
This problem has always troubled her.
She didn't believe anything that was appropriate.
She looked into his deep eyes, wanting to hear his true feelings.
Mu Yichen stopped blowing his hair, and their eyes met, his gaze deepening. "I want to say that I've fallen in love with you since the first time I saw you. Do you believe me?"
Mu Yichen had been to the Nan family more than once. When he first met this little sister, he was noticed by her cheerfulness and coquettishness.
Although she is the eldest daughter, she is not arrogant. Instead, she is very sensible and lively, just like a little elf.
He got angry and acted like a spoiled child towards Nan Xu, but that didn't affect her from standing in front of Nan Xu and protecting him at the critical moment.
From then on, he had a place for her in his heart and would deliberately go to the Nan family just to see her a few more times.
Nan Xi was a little stunned. She had never expected it to be like this.
In the past few years, Mu Yichen did come home often.
She just thought of her as her brother's friend and didn't take it seriously, but she didn't expect that Mu Yichen would pay attention to her at that time.
Moreover, she has been alone all these years. Could it be that she was also waiting for her?
When this thought came to her mind, she was shocked.
I didn't expect that he loved me so much.
"So, what if I didn't get divorced?"
"I can be alone."
If she gets divorced, he will marry her and will not give up the opportunity.
Otherwise, he would not enter into marriage.
Nan Xi was stunned and looked at Mu Yichen in surprise.
It turned out that his marriage with the Nan family was not because of the Nan family, but because of her.
Ripples rose in her heart, and she continued to ask, "If I can't have children, will you..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mu Yichen, "Then don't."
Nan Xi was completely stunned. She never expected him to say that.
She has been married to Qin Xiaoze for five years and has never been pregnant.
At that time, she was busy with work, and no one in the Qin family cared about her except Deng Xiu, so she didn't take it to heart and didn't pay attention to it.
It was not until after the divorce, when Lin Rufei became pregnant with Qin Xiaoze's child, that Nan Xi realized that she might not be able to have children.
In this way, wouldn't Mu Yichen be implicated?
But she didn't expect that he would simply refuse it.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
"Does your family have any objections?"
"Nanxi, you're marrying me, don't worry about their opinions."
He wouldn't let those people disturb her.
Nan Xi knew that the Mu family was not at peace. She had heard some things about Old Man Mu, and he had looked for her, but he never disturbed her. She knew that it was Mu Yichen who was trying to stop him.
He was protecting her silently.
Feeling his sincerity, she took the initiative to hug him, "Mu Yichen, thank you for your honesty and tolerance towards me."
Mu Yichen felt uneasy after hearing these words.
There was something he hid from Nan Xi.
If she knew that his marriage to her was a deception from the beginning, she would not be as dependent on him as she is now.
The honesty that was on the tip of his tongue was swallowed back by Mu Yi.
He began to worry. What if she knew that his marriage with the Nan family was well prepared, and that continuing the marriage to support the Nan family's new energy project was a marriage conspiracy planned by him and Nan Xu? Would she be angry?
Mu Yichen began to worry and held Nan Xi's hand tightly.
Don't dare to let go again.
Nan Xi slept well that night.
But Mu Yichen did not sleep all night.
The next morning, he sent Nan Xi to Nanyuan Group and went straight to the studio to find Nan Xu.
"Why are you here? Are you going to change your mind and not give me this studio?" Nan Xu asked when he saw Mu Yi walking in angrily.
Mu Yichen glanced at him and asked, "When have I ever taken back anything I gave away?"
What's more, it's a gift to my brother-in-law.
"Then why are you so murderous so early in the morning? Did you have a fight with my sister? Let me tell you, Mu Yichen, I agreed to marry my sister to you because I believed in you. If you dare to bully him, I will not forgive you."
Mu Yichen rolled his eyes at him, "Am I willing to do that?"
Nan Xu knew how much Mu Yichen doted on his sister, "Then what's wrong with you?"
"When will my parents return home?" Mu Yichen asked.
"About half a month left. They're traveling abroad and investigating new projects." At this point, he asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Why are you asking about my parents all of a sudden?"
"I want Nanxi to be honest about the marriage."
He thought a lot last night, and the more he thought, the more he felt that he shouldn't have lied to Nan Xi.
But if he said it out loud, he was afraid that Nan Xi would leave him because of anger, so he thought of his father-in-law and mother-in-law. If they were around, they would definitely persuade Nan Xi.
Nan Xu exploded when he heard this, "What? You're going to sell me out?"
It was he and Mu Yichen who deceived his sister about the marriage. If he told anyone about it, he would be implicated.
"No, no, don't tell me."
He has never lied to his sister. If she knew, she would definitely be angry with him.
"I don't want to lie to Nanxi."
"You can't implicate me, I lied to my sister to help you. Mu Yichen, you can't repay kindness with enmity."
Mu Yichen glanced at Nan Xu, and seeing his objection, he thought for a moment and said, "Selling you is better than cheating on my wife."
He can still tell who is closer to him, his wife or his brother.
"You! Mu Yichen, if you dare, just try it."
Mu Yichen didn't respond and left the studio, leaving Nan Xu so angry that he jumped up and down behind him.
I shouldn't have helped him earlier, but now I've shot myself in the foot.
But then again, Mu Yichen is really nice to his sister.
Forget it, just bear with it a little, after all she is my sister.
