Chapter 997: 290 The Luckiest One

Qin Mu lay on the bed, trying to breathe deeply, eyes alert, staring at the ceiling light, feeling the intense beating of her heart.

Mu Yichen gently pushed open the door and walked towards the bed with a cup of brown sugar water.

Qin Mu slowly closed her eyes, her breathing gradually becoming more normal than before.

The restlessness ceased when he came in carrying the brown sugar water.

——

Qin Mu sat up with a start, her hair disheveled, looking in a terrible state at the man approaching her.

"Mu Yichen, where did you go so early in the morning?"

"Aren’t you going to the bathroom yet?"

Mu Yichen simply said, gently placing the sugar water on the bedside table.

Qin Mu, feeling guilty due to the brown sugar water he was holding, was momentarily speechless. Her eyes slowly moved down to the bed where she saw a red stain on the blue sheets, instantly feeling ashamed and unable to bear it, she ignored her physical weakness, jumped up, and ran barefoot to the bathroom.

"Slippers!"

Qin Mu stopped as Mu Yichen reminded her, already bending down to fetch her shoes, placing them at her feet.

"Thank you!"

Qin Mu was moved, but quickly expressed her thanks and ran off.

Mu Yichen sighed helplessly, then folded the quilt and started changing the sheets.

By the time she came out after washing up and changing into clean clothes, Mu Yichen had already replaced the bed sheets and made the bed.

Her pajamas were dirty and had been left in the bathroom.

Qin Mu, unaware of his awkwardness, just hung her head like a child who had done something wrong, walking over without looking up.

"Drink the sugar water first!"

Mu Yichen couldn’t bear it anymore, lifted a corner of the quilt, and waited for her to finish the sugar water before getting on.

"Okay!"

Qin Mu obediently walked over, picked up the brown sugar water, drank it, and then got back on the bed.

After losing too much blood, she didn’t want to get out of bed; she was so weak she just wanted to stay in bed.

"Don’t go to work today!"

Mu Yichen seriously instructed her.

"Okay!"

Qin Mu lifted her eyes a little, feeling a bit ashamed, but given how long they’ve been together, she cleared her throat softly: "Since you noticed, why didn’t you wake me up earlier to change?"

"Mrs. Mu, do you think I sleep with my eyes open? By the time I noticed it, it was already dry!"

Mr. Mu frowned slightly, but explained earnestly.

Qin Mu: "..."

Sitting on the bed with the quilt over her legs, she kept her head down, softly tugging at the fabric of the quilt, and the room fell silent.

Mu Yichen chuckled helplessly and asked, "Do you want me to stay home with you?"

"No, no, you go to work!"

She quickly declined, looking up at him again.

Mu Yichen, dressed and ready, went downstairs, where Feng Fanghua was just coming out of the kitchen. Seeing him about to leave, she stopped him: "Aren’t you having breakfast?"

"It’s already late, I’ll have lunch instead!"

Mu Yichen said and was about to leave.

"Hey! You..."

"Oh right! She’s not feeling well today, don’t go and wake her up; if she’s hungry, she’ll come down for something to eat on her own."

Mu Yichen suddenly turned back. Feng Fanghua thought her darling son was being considerate and kind to her, but instead...

"Not feeling well? Isn’t it just her period?"

Feng Fanghua mumbled after his tall figure left the house.

"Madam! Should I call the young mistress for breakfast?"

The housekeeper came out and spoke suddenly from behind her.

"What’s the point? Didn’t you hear our dear Chen say the young mistress isn’t feeling well? She’ll eat when she’s hungry; just call my granddaughter to eat."

Feng Fanghua recalled Qin Mu’s displeasure about spoiling Huanhuan too much and thought to herself that this woman was getting harder to please.

The housekeeper said nothing, just thought the perpetually muttering lady was cute, and went to fetch Huanhuan for breakfast, stifling a laugh.

Qin Mu slept until nearly eleven, and later got up because if she didn’t change her sanitary napkin, she’d probably stain the fresh sheets her husband had just put on.

After using the bathroom, she felt more awake, glanced at her sleepy face in the mirror, twitched her lips, and turned on the faucet to wash up.

After freshening up and changing into something clean, she began to feel hungry and went downstairs to eat.

Feng Fanghua was at home alone, and seeing Qin Mu come downstairs, pretended not to notice, her eyes fixed on the TV screen.

"Morning, Mom!"

Feng Fanghua: "..."

"Where are Dad and Chengcheng?"

Qin Mu looked around but couldn’t find the other two members of the household, and curiously asked, even though she was very hungry, she went to sit with Feng Fanghua on the sofa first.
