Chapter 161: Chapter 161: I’m Not Yet Married, Continued (3)_1

Mu Chongfu and Mu Chongcai were also released. After several days in the oppressive darkness of prison, their hatred for Caiwei ran bone-deep. When they heard their grandpa berating that little bitch, Mu Caiwei, they eagerly joined in the denouncement of her heartlessness and cruelty.

As Mu Zhongqing saw the impassioned outcry from his family, he couldn’t help but feel relieved that he had pulled Wei’er aside earlier. Otherwise, who knew what sort of uproar it would have caused.

"Older brother, say something. Did we suffer in prison for nothing? We are your own father, brothers, and nephews!"

Mu Zhongli wasn’t pleased with his older brother’s silence. As a scholar, he highly valued manners and filial piety. His daughter had sent her own grandfather to prison, and he had no reason to ignore this!

Mu Zhongqing stayed silent for a while before saying, "Everyone has been in jail for a few days. You must have not eaten or slept well. How about we find a restaurant and have a good meal while we talk?"

His suggestion was immediately agreed upon by Mu Chongfu and Mu Chongcai. After eating pig food in prison for a few days, they were ready to enjoy a proper meal. Seeing their sons and grandchildren eager to go, Mu Zhongli and Mu Liankui did not object, and followed Mu Zhongqing in a grand procession to a nearby restaurant.

When Cai Wei returned to Baohe Medical Clinic, Huo Yuan had already woken up, leaning on a pillow as his coachman clumsily helped him drink water. When he saw Caiwei walk in, his deep eyes instantly lit up.

"You’re here."

There was a hint of pleasant surprise in his voice. Even though he knew she would come again, he didn’t expect her to arrive this quickly, and he was completely taken aback.

"Yeah." Caiwei nodded, washing her hands in the washbasin to take the cup from the coachman’s hands: "Allow me!"

The coachman discreetly exited upon seeing Miss Mu, leaving the two of them alone.

Huo Yuan sipped from the water Caiwei offered him, looked up smiling, "Thank you, Wei’er."

Caiwei paused for a moment, feeling somewhat uneasy. The way he called her ’Wei’er’ was rather intimate, wasn’t it? They weren’t that close...yet. But as she thought about what Huo Yuan had done for her, she couldn’t help but feel moved. So, she decided not to fret over trivial things like how he addressed her.

"I should be thanking you. After all, you saved me and got me out of there."

Huo Yuan said with a smile: "Wei’er also saved me. If it weren’t for Wei’er’s medicine, who knows what state I would be in now."

Mentioning the medicine, Caiwei suddenly remembered what the Old Turtle had told her. After taking this drug, one would be impotent for at least two to three years. She wondered if he cared about this. If he did, hadn’t her good intentions backfired? At this thought, her heart began to race.

"Um... Young Master Huo..."

"What’s wrong?"

Huo Yuan looked at her with a smile that stirred gentle ripples in her heart.

"That... you... um..." She stammered, stealing glances at Huo Yuan. Seeing his warm and gentle demeanor, she felt that he wouldn’t be too upset when he learned the truth. So, she summoned the courage to speak honestly.

"That... actually, this medicine... it has some side effects..."

She licked her lips nervously and continued, "After taking this medicine, for two to three years, you might not be able to... consummate your marriage."

She barely whispered the last three words, barely louder than a mosquito’s hum.

As an unmarried woman, uttering the word ’consummate’ was incredibly embarrassing.

Hearing this, Huo Yuan froze, his face darkened, he looked ill at ease. He didn’t care about not being able to have sex for two or three years, he had never placed importance on such matters. However, as a man, hearing he was impotent was somewhat shameful, especially in front of her.

But, as he looked at Caiwei, he saw her looking nervous and edgy, like a guilty little mouse. Her big, clear eyes stealing glances at him, quickly looking away when he caught her. She innocently stared at the ceiling, her small mouth pursed together, making her look like a child who had made a mistake and feared being scolded. Her appearance was extremely adorable!

In an instant, all of Huo Yuan’s discomfort and embarrassment disappeared, he let out a hearty laugh.

"Wei’er, I don’t have a wife. I’m not married!"

He told her.
