Qie Xieling gripped his waist and pulled him closer. He whispered into Luo Muchen’s ear his lips almost brushing the man’s ear. "How about you take me home?"

Luo Muchen’s heart quickened at Qie Xieling’s whispered request. His mind swirled with desires and concerns, torn between giving in to the passionate plea and ensuring Qie Xieling’s well-being.

He leaned in closer, their bodies touching, and spoke softly, his voice filled with tenderness.

"Lin Lin... I want nothing more than to take you home but... your wounds need time to heal, and I wouldn’t forgive myself if anything were to happen to you again."

Qie Xieling’s eyes flickered with a mix of longing and understanding. He knew Luo Muchen’s protective nature, but his desire to be with him was overwhelming. He didn’t want to stay here any longer. With a gentle touch, Luo Muchen brushed away a strand of hair from Qie Xieling’s forehead.

"I promise, as soon as Doctor Kang gives us the green light, we will leave this place together. You’ll go home with me."

Qie Xieling’s grip on Luo Muchen’s waist tightened, his fingers conveying both yearning and trust. "Being here without you has been unbearable," he said bending his leg to trap Luo Muchen in place.

Luo Muchen’s eyes softened as he cupped Qie Xieling’s face, his thumb caressing his cheek. "I know, my love. I’ve been counting the minutes until I could take you back home. But I need you to be patient a little longer... I can’t risk losing you."

Qie Xieling nodded, a mixture of love and intense yearning shining in his eyes. Luo Muchen leaned in and their lips met for a tender and lingering kiss. They stayed like this for a while, just enjoying each other’s company, their foreheads resting against one another.

They were flirting with each other and Luo Muchen had found himself underneath the hospital blanket with Qie Xieling. He looked like he hadn’t slept for days. Qie Xieling stroked his hair while Luo Muchen’s arm rested on his abdomen.

"I thought you would kill your uncle for sure," said Qie Xieling and Luo Muchen answered his voice muffled,

"Do you want me to? I wanted him to die slowly in that hell hole. Instant death is too good for him."

Qie Xieling’s fingers ran through his lover’s hair as he acquiesced. "You are right. How about Bager? Where is he?"

"He stole my family heirloom and he has to give it back before he becomes cell mates with my uncle. As for that bitch Bi Yu... did she touch you?"

Qie Xieling remembered nothing about that night, to be honest. He just woke up in the car with President Yin after smelling that awful smell that sliced through his brain like a sharp knife.

"I don’t know... I only remember waking up in the car with President Yin. Babe, you do know that I would never do anything to jeopardise our relationship, right? he asked and Luo Muchen nodded his head but that didn’t mean he was going to let Bi Yu get away with it.

This was his man and he was going to torment her until she confessed what she did to him. "I am sorry for dragging you into this. If it weren’t for me you wouldn’t be in this position," said Luo Muchen.

Qie Xieling chuckled softly before saying, "I am your wife, aren’t I?" reassuring him and Luo Muchen glanced up at him his heart warmed at his words.

"You are the best wife. My beautiful and precious wife. I love you, Lin Lin. So much."

Qie Xieling kissed his forehead and whispered back, "I love you too."

Doctor Kang wanted to keep Qie Xieling in the hospital for a few more days until he was sure that everything was fine. This meant that Qie Xieling had to stay there for a few more days bored out of his mind.

He endured for two days straight but on the third day, he was done. He wasn’t allowed to eat anything spicy. He couldn’t drink and he couldn’t go further than the garden in front of the hospital.

He felt fine but Doctor Kang kept telling him that he wasn’t well yet. Qie Xieling even started thinking that Doctor Kang had it out for him. What he didn’t know was that Doctor Kang was just trying to cover his ass. He knew how angry Luo Muchen would be if anything happened to Qie Xieling so to be safe he decided to keep him in the hospital a little longer.

Qie Xieling was sick of it. He groaned as he peered out of the hospital room window, eyeing the familiar figures of the imposing guards stationed outside. He had really grown tired of the sterile walls and ceaseless beeping of machines.

With a sigh, Qie Xieling called Jolie and Jolie eagerly answered she had been eager for this world to finally come to an end thus she was preparing for that loophole to open again and hopefully get a message from Wen Qinxi.

"I need help to get out of here. I am so bored," he said complaining about his situation. "Please please, please. I can’t take being cooped up here any longer."

Jolie laughed out loud before saying, "Here I thought you wanted bedroom advice. You really seem thirsty recently."

Qie Xieling, "..."

"How the fuck do you know that?" he said his eyes as wide as light bulbs.

Jolie laughed even louder finding this quite amusing. "So I am right. You have been liking your husband’s pictures and fending off vultures online in the comment sections. You have a lot of time on your hands... plus Luo Muchen looks like a starved beast making others work overtime because he isn’t getting any at home. You know I thought you two would do it in that hospital room... ha, I was wrong."

Qie Xieling, "..."

"Well, I would love bedroom advice but for now will you help me get out please please please."

"Fine, I will help you escape but don’t you dare mention my name," she said and Qie Xieling defended himself.

"I am not a snitch," he said but Jolie thought otherwise. This kid had been snitching on her every chance he got.

"I beg to differ," she said but why bother arguing with him? He would just deny it.
