Chapter 143 They Finally Have a Home
"Yeah, kind of. Nuanxin, I remember I have a patient waiting. I'll have the director of Burns Surgery pick you up later. You guys go ahead. Just forget all about it." With that, Ling Shaobai closed the door and left quickly.
Every time Long Qingyue mentioned Ling Shaobai's position, Ling Shaobai was sure to get into trouble, so he'd better leave.
"I haven't asked you how you burned your back." Long Qingyue's face darkened. Thinking about the burns on her back, he wished he had killed the man who hurt her."
"I burned it by accident. No one can be blamed for this." Mu Nuanxin was sad to think of the Mu family.
"You can't burn your back. Are you gonna tell me the truth? Or I'm just going to find it out myself." The hurt expression on her face made Long Qingyue heartbroken.
"I'm really fine. I look all right, don't I? Will you just let it go?" Mu Nuanxin whispered, leaning her head against his chest.
"You look awful. If I find it out myself, I'm not gonna let the person who hurt you get away with it." Long Qingyue clasped her in his arms. Her back was hurt and it seemed that someone must have done it on purpose. Who on earth was that cruel?
"Well, I'll tell you, but don't be angry!" With a slight sigh, Mu Nuanxin told him what had happened in the Mu's house.
"Long Qingyue, they are my family and have raised me for ten years anyway. I'll forgive them whatever they do. Don't give them a hard time, okay?" Mu Nuanxin begged softly, clutching at his coat.
"You are so kind. You were tough and fought like a tiger ten years ago. But now you are as meek as a lamb. And you are hurt." Long Qingyue held Mu Nuanxin tightly in his arms, his heart aching for what had happened to her, and a gleam of gloom flashed into his black eyes.
Mu Nuanxin said nothing more and rested her head on his chest, feeling safe and protected.
Soon the medical staff of the Burns Surgery arrived and took Mu Nuanxin to the hospital where the doctor gave her a thorough examination. Although there was nothing serious with her wounds, she was required to be hospitalized for safety's sake.
"Long Qingyue, I don't want to be hospitalized. Shall we go home?" Lying on her stomachs on the bed and holding Long Qingyue's hand, Mu Nuanxin said miserably.
She hated the hospital and was fed up with the smell of disinfectant.
"Okay, anything you say. Let's go home!" Long Qingyue held her little hand, bent down, and stroked her cheek fondly and tenderly.
His ten-year dream came true when they finally had a home.
Mu Nuanxin immediately smiled, revealing her white, neat teeth, and her bright smile made his heart flutter.
She was the only one in the world who could make Long Qingyue feel that way. That was true ten years ago, and it was also how he felt now and ever since.
Long Qingyue thought he must be completely smitten with her and would love her for the rest of his life.
"We'll go home when you get your wounds treated." Still smiling, Mu Nuanxin rubbed her face against his hand, innocent as a child.
"Alright, let's go!" Long Qingyue carried her in his arms and walked out of the examination room.
The driver was waiting at the hospital gate. After taking care of the wound on his forehead, Long Qingyue carried her into the car and sat her astride his lap.
"Take a nap if you're tired! I'll wake you up when we get home." Long Qingyue kissed her hair and said softly.
"Alright, I'm knackered." Mu Nuanxin leaned her head against his chest, listened to his strong heartbeat, and soon fell asleep. Before sleeping deeply, she whispered, "Long Qingyue, please don't leave me alone again. I'm really afraid of being alone."
His heart ached, and he held her closer to him, savoring her peculiar scent, feeling complete. Long Qingyue held Mu Nuanxin in his arms as if he had got the whole world, his eyes twinkling with a happy smile.
When Mu Nuanxin woke up, she was in a big, soft, warm bed. She lay on her stomach, covered with a soft silk quilt, in a comfortable cotton nightdress and no underwear.
Her pretty face flushed when she learned that he had changed her clothes. However, she was cool about it soon because they were married.
Mu Nuanxin heaved a content sigh and moved her back. It didn't hurt that much and she slowly got out of bed.
There was a clanging sound in the kitchen. Mu Nuanxin was curious and walked over. Before she reached the door, she saw Long Qingyue in a white shirt cutting up the vegetables on the chopping board with a kitchen knife in his hands.
Vegetables bounced around under his knife, and he was in a mess with his shirt splattered with vegetable juice.
Mu Nuanxin looked aside at the sink, where a badly chopped grass carp was sitting, with recipes on a nearby table.
Mu Nuanxin finally burst out laughing, startling Long Qingyue who was seriously chopping. When Long Qingyue saw her, he glanced ruefully at the glazed tabletop and looked embarrassed.
"I want to cook you a meal... I don't expect it would be that difficult..." He scratched his head boyishly, embarrassed.
"I'll do it!" Mu Nuanxin walked over to him, took the kitchen knife from him, and put it aside before pulling out a tissue to wipe the stain off his shirt.
The warm setting sun shone through the glass windows. There was a really good vibe in the room. The glow softened and they seemed to glow and looked eye-catching.
Long Qingyue looked down at Mu Nuanxin who was carefully cleaning his shirt. She just woke up, her long hair draping over her shoulders, looking laidback and serene with her transparent tissues. Her beautiful eyes drooped slightly, and her long, dark lashes fluttered like butterfly wings...
Every time she blinked, he was tempted and his heart melted. They were so close that he felt her warm breath on his chest. He smelled her sweet scent with a faint medicinal fragrance, which refreshed his soul and strained him like a young man having his first serious crush.
"I can't wipe this off. You take it off and put it in the bathroom, and I'll wash it." Mu Nuanxin frowned with vexation, then looked up at Long Qingyue, and said with a smile.
