Chapter 689: 696 - Rage turns into indulgence_1

Though berated by the doctor for seeming so uncaring and irresponsible towards his wife, Qin Muchuan still felt grateful. "Thank you, thank you..." he said.

Su Yueze was feeling uneasy watching Muchuan, whose eyes were glued on him unfalteringly. Muchuan’s hands slowly began to clench into fists, shaking visibly -- a clear demonstration of his strength.

"Bro, you can’t blame this all on me. I tried to stop her, but she insisted on drinking!" he retreated step by step.

Qin Muchuan advanced towards him step by step. Suddenly, he lunged at Yueze with the agility of a leopard, and in the next second, firmly gripped his collar. "Damn, you dare to shirk your responsibility!"

Yueze, who was being held by the collar, was choking and gesturing towards his neck. "Bro... please let go, don’t kill me. It’s not a big deal if I die—I don’t have a wife or kid, I don’t have any responsibilities. But you’re different. You have a beautiful wife, intelligent and loving children, even a beautiful confidante who understands you, and another child... there’s a whole big family depending on you. What would they do if you killed me?"

Qin Muchuan loathed him deeply, gripping his collar even tighter.

In between, Yueze’s long and pale neck was increasingly red and thick, resembling a swan about to be strangled.

His voice wavered as he gasped, "Bro, you have to let go. If not, I really might die. What about my mom and dad?"

Qin Muchuan asked in a low voice, "Are you scared now?"

"Not just now, I’ve been scared before!"

"So, you knew the consequences, yet you still ignored my warnings, you didn’t pick up my call, and you even influenced my wife!" Qin Muchuan asked angrily.

But just when Yueze was about to pass out, he released him.

Yueze, finally freed, was grateful for a renewed chance at life. "Cough, cough... Bro, thank you for sparing my life. But let me tell you, I definitely didn’t corrupt your wife..."

Qin Muchuan sneered, "So you’re saying she corrupted you? You’re still joking at this time?"

"Cough, cough... No..." Yueze’s breathing turned unstable as he coughed a few more times. "Neither of us was a bad influence. We were both perfectly fine!"

"Perfectly fine?" Qin Muchuan asked again. "She’s on the brink of death and you dare to say you both were fine?"

Yueze gave a painful smile.

"What happened?" Qin Muchuan asked.

Su Yueze thought about Xiangwan’s wish to keep this from Muchuan when she fainted. She woke up briefly despite her condition, handing Yueze this important task before fainting again.

How much significance did she place on this matter?

Yueze decided to respect Xiangwan’s wishes. "At that time... Xiangwan really didn’t want to drink, but she was pressured to. She thought she would be okay, but... providence did not bless her!"

"Even knowing that, you both still..." Qin Muchuan was even more upset. "Who got you to drink? Who was it..."

Su Yueze’s heart began to thump. Damn it. Was this boss Qin going to place the blame on the princess?

God, earth, please let this man behave, let him pass his days peacefully.

"Speak..."

"Bro, that person is not from our circle, and they didn’t know about Xiangwan’s health condition or the drip. One can’t be blamed for what they don’t know. It’s not fair to question them!" Su Yueze tried to explain.

"Not good? What’s not good about it?" Qin Muchuan didn’t show any mercy. "How dare they get my woman drunk and make her sick? And they’ve disappeared now?"

Yueze thought: this is to protect you. I was afraid you’d bring trouble upon yourself, so I sent the princess away in a hurry.

You just escaped danger and you still don’t know it. And you dare to make a ruckus here!

The nurse came over at that moment, seeing the two good-looking men, she reported to them voluntarily. "The patient has woken up. Maybe you’d like to go see her?"

Hearing this, the two men rushed into the ward together.

Xiangwan was hanging on an IV drip again. As she watched the droplets falling, she couldn’t help but feel a mix of relief and joy...

She was still alive—she was grateful for this blessing.

"Are you awake?" Qin Muchuan asked in a low voice.

His tone was icy, unpleasant, without any gentleness or humanity.

However, this sentence made Xiangwan tear up. "Yes...I am...awake..."

Qin Muchuan had wanted to strangle her. But as soon as he saw her, all his anger transformed into concern. "I told you not to drink, but you insisted. Will you drink again in the future?"

Xiangwan shook her head. "No, I won’t!"

"I hope you’ve learned your lesson, so that there won’t be a next time," he warned.

"Yes!"

"You rest, I’ll come and see you later," Muchuan said before he left.

Su Yueze had no choice but to stay and accompany Xiangwan.

Looking at the closed door, he complained. "Look at the husband you chose. You said he was good, you insisted on marrying him. But when you were in trouble, who was with you? Right?"

Xiangwan barely managed a smile.

"You still have the strength to laugh, not bad. It means you’re fine now!" Su Yueze said, feeling relieved.

"Of course, I’m fine..."

"Fine? You didn’t see how terrifying you looked earlier!"

Xiangwan wanted to ask what happened afterward.

At that moment, Qi Zhenzhen called Su Yueze.

She carefully asked, "How is it? Has she woken up?"

Su Yueze decided to scare her a little. "What do you think? With the way she looked, could she have woken up?"

Qi Zhenzhen was really frightened. "No way, you mean she’s dead?"

"Don’t talk about her that way, I don’t want anyone to speak about her in that manner!" Su Yueze warned.

This made Qi Zhenzhen believe even more that Xiangwan might have...

Suddenly, she started crying out of guilt. "I’m sorry, I didn’t know she was ill, I didn’t mean to...But if she didn’t want to drink, she shouldn’t have. Why be stubborn!"

"Who are you to speak? You insisted on drinking, so how could Xiangwan refuse?"
