Chapter 453: Chapter 451: What Have You Done to Yaoyao?_1

Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but chuckle at her expression, "Shanshan... it’s actually my own fault too..."

"If he’s the one who hit you, then it’s his fault!" Mu Zixuan sat at the edge of the bed, her brows furrowed in anger.

Xiaoxiao laughed and shook her head, "Aren’t you supposed to be at work? How come you’re here now?"

"You’re asking me? You didn’t come home last night, and I was so worried something had happened to you. I kept calling, but your phone was turned off. When I asked Yaoyao, he just kept a straight face... This morning when I left, I even asked him about you, but he just ignored me, and then...ah, just half an hour ago, he called me himself to say you were here, and told me to come see you..." Mu Zixuan rambled on as she took Xiaoxiao’s hand.

Xiaoxiao listened, completely bewildered. What in the world was Mu Zisu thinking? When Shanshan asked him, he didn’t say anything, but when she went to work, he called to say she was here.

"But Xiaoxiao, what did you do to Yaoyao? From last night to this morning, his face was as black as could be..." Mu Zixuan said, clearly surprised.

Xiaoxiao frowned, thought for a moment, then spoke softly, "Last night he came here and said that I should go home to recuperate, and I didn’t agree, so maybe that’s why he’s angry..."

"Ah? Why didn’t you agree?" Mu Zixuan asked, astonished.

"All the hospital admission procedures were already completed, plus, I didn’t want to trouble him..." Xiaoxiao muttered, looking down.

Hearing this, Mu Zixuan so exasperated she slapped her thigh, "Are you silly or what! He finally shows some concern for you, and you even refuse him? Knowing how proud he is, it’s no wonder he’s angry!"

After hearing Mu Zixuan’s words, Xiaoxiao let out a long sigh. How should she even begin to explain last night’s situation? Well... it’s done now anyway.

"I’m fine, I should be able to leave the hospital in a few days. You need to go back to work, so just go back..."

"Since I’m already out, I won’t go back today, hehe... I’ll stay and keep you company for a while..."

Xiaoxiao felt a surge of emotion. She didn’t have many friends here; she could count them on one hand.

Mu Zixuan stayed with Xiaoxiao for dinner and then left reluctantly.

After Mu Zixuan had gone, the mobile phone by Xiaoxiao’s bedside suddenly rang. She reached to pick it up, her eyebrows knitting slightly at the sight of the unfamiliar number.

She hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer button and connecting the call.

"Xiaoxiao... Want anything to eat? I’ll bring some back," Zhuo Shaoqing’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

Xiaoxiao’s frown smoothed, "No need... I just had dinner, there’s nothing I want to eat..."

"Alright then... I’ll be there soon..."

"Well..."

Xiaoxiao had wanted to tell him that he didn’t need to come over, but Zhuo Shaoqing had already hung up the phone. She felt helpless, with all the caregivers here, he really didn’t need to stay with her all the time.

With a helpless pout, she dropped her gaze to the phone in her hand.

This morning Zhuo Shaoqing had brought her the phone from outside, saying it had been left on the table last night. It must have been Mu Zisu who brought her phone over and left it on the table.

Her phone had been at the office, and as she checked it, she saw missed calls from him...

A spontaneous warmth flowed through her heart; could these be a sign that he had tried to find her last night?

So there she sat on the bed, her eyes lowered, gazing blankly at the phone in her hands when suddenly the sound of footsteps approached. Assuming it was Zhuo Shaoqing, she spoke without lifting her head, "You don’t really need to stay here..."

As her voice faded, she finally got a clear view of the person standing before her.

For a moment, she abruptly held her breath...

The one standing by her bedside was no other than Mu Zisu, the very person she yearned for...

Mu Zisu looked at her dazed expression with displeasure and furrowed his brows.

"Are you feeling better?" His cool voice instantly snapped Xiaoxiao back to reality.

"Um... better..." She still couldn’t quite believe it, that Mu Zisu had really come to see her.

Hadn’t he left in anger yesterday? And when Shanshan came today, she said he had been scowling from yesterday until today; Xiaoxiao thought she wouldn’t see him for the whole week.

Mu Zisu’s irritability vanished without a trace the moment he laid eyes on her.

His gaze was deep as he stood by the bed, staring fixedly at Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao felt her cheeks grow hot with embarrassment once more; she quickly lowered her head slightly, not wanting him to see her discomfiture.

Mu Zisu narrowed his eyes and scanned the hospital room before inquiring, "Where is that person?" When he had come in, he heard her speaking and was certain that the man hadn’t left.

"He went out to meet a friend..." Xiaoxiao replied, her head still lowered.

"Call me if anything comes up, I’m heading back now..." Mu Zisu showed no sign of lingering and prepared to turn around and leave after speaking.

Xiaoxiao’s hands clenched tightly without her control; she wanted to speak up and ask him to stay, but she didn’t have the courage...

"Hmm..." In the end, she could only nod lightly.

It was only when Mu Zisu turned his back to her that she dared to lift her head and gaze affectionately at his tall, erect figure. Her heart wouldn’t stop fluttering, and although loving him was hard, she never regretted it...

The days she spent recuperating in the hospital went by neither quickly nor slowly.

Anyway, on the days Mu Zisu visited her, time seemed to fly by, but on days when he didn’t come, the time felt slower than a year.

Thanks to the nurse found by Mu Zisu, Zhuo Shaoqing, although spending each night on the sofa, always went out for a while every day.

She didn’t know whether it was arranged between Mu Zisu and Zhuo Shaoqing, or it was merely a coincidence, but every time Mu Zisu or Mu Zixuan visited, Zhuo Shaoqing happened to be away.

This situation also allowed Xiaoxiao to breathe a sigh of relief; she was glad they didn’t run into each other. Otherwise, she worried they might spark another conflict.

The seventh day... was the day she was discharged from the hospital.

Zhuo Shaoqing ran around early in the morning to process her discharge paperwork; even though she said her leg was fine now, he still insisted that she stay put in the ward, waiting for him to return.

She felt a wave of helplessness. Although it was Zhuo Shaoqing who had injured her, he seemed quite a decent person, at least in her view, really someone with a sense of honor and responsibility.

"All set... Let me take you back..." Zhuo Shaoqing said with a smile on his face, walking in through the door.

"No need, I can just take a cab home..."

"Don’t be so polite... Let’s go..." Zhuo Shaoqing said without further ado, pulling her along out.

"No... really, it’s not necessary, thank you for taking such good care of me these past few days..." Xiaoxiao hurriedly called out to his tall, slender back.
