Assistant to My Contracted Husband
Chapter 1045

Chapter 1045: Chapter 1045

Unrequited love is like the other person only needing to lift a finger, and you would immediately throw yourself into the flames like a moth.

Mu Wan raised her hand and rubbed her temples... It took a long while before she sat upright in a daze... Quiet people usually process things more slowly.

It always... takes quite some time to digest it all.

...

Mu Wan was fully absorbed in her thoughts when the door opened. Qin Mu’s tall figure appeared before her. The man was handsome and dashing in a purple shirt, a few buttons casually undone at the chest, revealing his muscular torso—a sexiness taken to the extreme.

Mu Wan’s little face immediately flushed an even deeper red. She kept her head lowered... not knowing how to face Qin Mu.

Qin Mu looked at Mu Wan’s delicate frame, dazed as she sat on the large bed. A thin blanket encircled her waist, accentuating her sensual allure.

Qin Mu’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly as his gaze fell on the woman’s blushing face, his thin lips pressed together.

"I’ve asked someone to prepare a meal. Wash up, and you can come out to eat."

"Okay..."

When Mu Wan opened her mouth, her voice was terribly hoarse; her whole being... tearful, disheveled, her hair in slight disarray, her pale skin marked with faint bruises. No matter how one looked at her, it was as if she had been... thoroughly ravaged by a man.

As Mu Wan became aware of her embarrassing state, she trembled as she clutched the thin blanket, attempting to head toward the bathroom. However, before she could set her feet on the ground, she fell heavily to the floor.

Qin Mu’s expression shifted slightly at the sight. He quickly stepped forward, scooping Mu Wan up along with the blanket and placing her carefully back on the bed.

"What happened?"

Mu Wan heard the man’s emotionlessly probing words, her voice raspy, her energy faint and distant.

"Um... my legs gave out... sorry..."

Mu Wan kept her head lowered... too embarrassed to look at Qin Mu, her entire demeanor a picture of awkwardness.

Qin Mu: "..."

This wasn’t something Mu Wan should be apologizing for in the first place. The one who truly owed an apology was himself, not Mu Wan.

Qin Mu gazed intently at the woman in front of him, his thin lips pressed into a firm line.

"It’s not your fault. I’m sorry, it was me..."

Mu Wan: "..."

Hearing the man’s words, Mu Wan nodded slightly, saying no more, but lightly bit her lips. "Um... I want to... take a bath. Could you bring me my pajamas? I... I’m not wearing anything underneath."

Qin Mu, upon hearing the woman’s barely audible voice, his thin lips curved slightly as he suppressed the strange emotions rising within him.

"No need. I’ll carry you to the bathroom directly."

With that, Qin Mu scooped Mu Wan into his arms and walked straight into the bathroom, gently placing her into the bathtub. His long, dark eyes narrowed, taking in the sight of her snow-white skin.

Since when...

Had he become such an indulgent and undisciplined person?

Qin Mu narrowed his dark eyes further, then said in a low voice, "I’ll send someone to bring in your pajamas... When you’re done bathing, just call them to come in."

"Okay."

Mu Wan responded lightly...

Just yesterday, the two of them had seemed like strangers...

Yet yesterday, they became husband and wife.

Now... meeting again, there was still an undeniable awkwardness between them.

Mu Wan raised her hand to rub her temples in frustration... It really hurt so much...
