Chapter 627: Extra Chapter 040: She’s really afraid that everything Mu Cidian said is a lie (Update) freёweɓnovel.com
Mu Cidian prepared dinner and placed it on the table.
Xin Zaozao went over and sat opposite of Mu Cidian.
They both ate in silence.
Mu Cidian would actively offer Xin Zaozao food. Xin Zaozao was not picky, and she would eat everything that Mu Cidian put in her bowl.
After dinner, they would sit together in the living room and watch TV for a while.
They would watch various variety shows. Xin Zaozao would occasionally be amused by the comedic elements in the shows. Mu Cidian rarely laughed, but whenever Xin Zaozao did, a smile could not help but creep up to his lips.
When 10 p.m. came around.
Xin Zaozao would take a bath and go to sleep.
Mu Cidian would prepare her clothes and bathwater beforehand.
Sometimes he would bathe with her.
Xin Zaozao was not quite used to their candidness, but she seemed to be unable to stop it.
Mu Cidian would obey her at any time, but in some aspects, he could be very assertive.
Sometimes Xin Zaozao would feel irritated.
But in the end, she would always be won over by sleep.
Perhaps she might feel angry one moment, but as soon as they become intimate, she would let go of all grievances.
They had developed a good understanding in their daily life now.
Sometimes, a mere glance from Xin Zaozao and Mu Cidian would know what she wanted next, and he would prepare it for her.
This even happened in bed.
Whenever Xin Zaozao shuffled a bit, Mu Cidian would know whether she wanted to make love that night.
Sometimes Xin Zaozao was really scared of Mu Cidian, thinking that he could see through what she was thinking. But more often, she seemed to grow more and more accustomed to him being by her side…
She rested in Mu Cidian’s arms, and after their intimate moments, they always held each other like this.
Xin Zaozao appeared dazed. Each time after their intimacy, she would feel an inexplicable sense of loss. It was as if her life was changing bit by bit with it and she seemed unable to control it.
“Would you like some water?” Mu Cidian asked her.
Xin Zaozao nodded.
“I’ll go and pour some water.” Mu Cidian let go of her body.
He casually picked up a towel next to him to cover his lower body.
Xin Zaozao would stare at the muscular body that Mu Cidian had somehow regained over time. She remembered how he looked when he had first got out of prison, his body was just skin and bones, covered in wounds…
Unconsciously, she had been in a relationship with Mu Cidian for almost a year now.
Much faster than she had imagined.
She never felt that she had been in a relationship with Mu Cidian for so long.
Mu Cidian poured the water and handed it to Xin Zaozao.
Xin Zaozao got up from bed, still wrapped in the quilt.
Mu Cidian looked at her fair neck and the faint love bites on it.
Xin Zaozao followed his gaze, frowning slightly.
“Doesn’t it hurt?” Mu Cidian asked.
Mu Cidian always seemed to ask her some silly questions after their intimacies.
“No, it doesn’t.” Xin Zaozao grew a bit impatient.
Mu Cidian chuckled, “But why did it hurt that night?”
Xin Zaozao was puzzled, unsure what Mu Cidian was referring to.
“The night you decided to keep me.” Mu Cidian reminded.
Xin Zaozao immediately understood.
That night, after taking Lina’s pill, she did something crazy which she has been trying hard to forget.
She blushed, “That night was different from now.”
“How is it different?”
“Aren’t you supposed to be smart?”
Mu Cidian had a clear smile on his face.
It seemed that whenever he saw Xin Zaozao blushing, his mood would become exceptionally good.
He took the water glass from Xin Zaozao, leaned in with his handsome face and kissed her lips.
“Um.” Xin Zaozao’s heart skipped a beat.
Mu Cidian pulled back after landing a light kiss.
“Did I allow you to kiss me?”
“No, but I couldn’t help myself.”
“I’m sleepy.” Xin Zaozao turned over and lay down.
She was feeling somewhat overwhelmed by Mu Cidian’s affectionate demeanor.
She feared that one day she would truly fall for him, and at the same time, she truly feared that…
She feared that all of Mu Cidian was actually a farce.
Just like when she was a child, it had all been lies.
If that was the case, if that was the case…
She really didn’t know what drastic actions she might take.
Mu Cidian also lay down after placing the water glass down, holding Xin Zaozao in his arms.
Even if they didn’t say anything, even if Xin Zaozao kept silent, he could feel her resentment towards him gradually weakening, or perhaps, she was beginning to accept his presence, his entirety.
He thought, it was enough for them to be together peacefully for now, he didn’t anticipate anything deeper, something like… becoming lovers…
The next day.
Xin Zaozao went to work.
Mu Cidian did his own work.
The phone kept ringing incessantly.
Mu Cidian did not know why Wan Quan would keep calling him non-stop, or maybe, that was just Wan Quan. When she wanted something, she had to have it, otherwise, she wouldn’t give up.
The moment he decided to switch off his phone.
Another call came in.
He saw the caller ID and answered, “Lei Qian.”
“Mu Cidian, it’s me, Lei Qian.” She was always very cautious with him.
“Do you need something?” Mu Cidian was gentle with her.
After all, there was no enmity between them, and though Lei Qian might have had feelings for him, she had never bothered him.
“I’m at the hospital, and I happened to run into your mother.”
Mu Cidian’s face changed slightly.
Lei Qian’s voice became smaller, “I know your relationship with your mother isn’t very good, but it seems she is seriously ill. Do you want to come and see her?”
“No.” Mu Cidian refused outright.
“But… she’s all alone…” Lei Qian tried to persuade him.
“I will give her money, as for the rest, she can handle it herself.”
“Oh.”” Lei Qian responded.
Mu Cidian said, “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”
“Okay.”
Mu Cidian hung up the phone.
He sat in front of the computer, his face also not looking great.
He thought for a moment, then picked up his phone again to transfer 500,000 yuan to his mother.
He thought, this should be more than enough for any illness, enough to secure her a VIP hospital room.
Meanwhile, at the hospital.
Lei Qian was standing at the door of Wan Quan’s room, putting down her phone, looking a bit embarrassed.
Wan Quan lay in the hospital bed and looked at Lei Qian, “Is Mu Cidian not going to come?”
“He seems to be quite busy.” Lei Qian made up an excuse.
“Busy? Busy with what? Being with that cheap woman Xin Zaozao?!” Wan Quan said sarcastically.
Lei Qian didn’t know how to respond.
She was here just for her irregular period, and came to the hospital for a simple check-up. The doctor said it might be a hormonal disorder, and advised her to take some medication. As she was preparing to leave with her test results, she saw Wan Quan with a pale face at the gynecology department, who was then rushed to the operating room. She saw Wan Quan all alone, and decided to stay. After the surgery, she accompanied her in the ward with the doctor and nurse.
Since coming out of the operating room, Wan Quan had been continuously calling Mu Cidian, but he seemed to not answer. Hence, Lei Qian couldn’t resist calling him.
Turns out, it wasn’t a problem with the phone. Mu Cidian was deliberately not answering Wan Quan’s calls.
Seeing their strained mother-son relationship, she didn’t know how to comfort them.
Wan Quan said, “What are you doing standing here? Get out.”
Lei Qian was startled by Wan Quan’s sudden outburst.
Her eyes turned red and she hastily turned around to leave.
Wan Quan was also filled with anger at the moment. Knowing that her own son hadn’t even checked on her despite her being ill and hospitalized, she didn’t know where else to vent her anger, so she vented it on Lei Qian.
Lei Qian was inexplicably scolded, and she walked away rubbing her eyes, just as she ran into Wan Quan’s attending physician.
The attending physician called out to her, “Relative, where are you going? I was looking for you.”
“What?” Lei Qian was puzzled.
“Come with me to my office.”
Lei Qian was led to the office by the doctor.
The doctor asked, “What is your relationship with Wan Quan?”
“She’s the mother of a friend.” Lei Qian answered truthfully.
“And where is your friend?”
“He’s quite busy and couldn’t make it.”
“Couldn’t make it? Does he know what his mother is suffering from?” The doctor’s face immediately changed, “Late-stage uterine cancer. We just performed a hysterectomy, removing the cyst. The pathology results confirm it’s late-stage cancer.”
“What?” Lei Qian looked at the doctor in disbelief.
“Get your friend to come to the hospital as soon as possible. If he still wants Wan Quan to live, he needs to come and discuss further treatment options.”
“Is it serious? Is Aunt Wan’s condition serious? Can she survive?” Lei Qian stuttered in fright.
“That depends on the treatment in the later stage. Anyway, get the family here first.”
“Okay, I will call him right away.”
Lei Qian couldn’t afford to delay any longer.
She immediately dialed Mu Cidian again.
Mu Cidian saw Lei Qian’s call, guessed what she wanted to say, but still answered. He said, “Lei Qian, about my mother’s situation…”
“Mu Cidian, your mother has late-stage uterine cancer.”
