Chapter 2305
“Something you’re not interested in.” Murong Zhuan put down his chopsticks and served a bowl of soup in front of me, reminding, “This is highly nutritious, drink more.”
I didn’t even look at it, obsessed with the deal between Fu Shenyan and him, “What’s the benefit?”
“You’re a repeater?” A slight frown creased between Murong Zhuan’s eyebrows, his face tinged with a bit of thin anger.
I don’t say anything, but the good mood is swept away, suddenly a face blackened, legs stretched out, leaning directly behind the raised bed, dropping his face to indicate that he does not want to communicate with him again.
“Did Fu Shenyan ever say you were troublesome?” Murong Zhuan’s words were grim, obviously less enthusiastic about the way men and women get along.
Trouble? It’s called a sweet burden!
I’m under tremendous psychological pressure to accompany you here to flirt with you, so even if you don’t thank me for my hard work, you’re still picking and choosing and questioning my ability as an actor?
I turned my face away from him, ignoring his presence and giving him an even deeper insight into what it’s like to be shut out.
The atmosphere in the ward became tense once again, and Murong Zhuan dropped his chopsticks straight away, clucking a warning on the table, “If you can’t finish it, it means Fu Shenyan is not a good cook, and I can make him unable to appear in front of you forever with one phone call.”
I turned around and sat up straight, and glared back with a fury, “It’s just a phone call to betray people, you can betray even the people you work for. Go ahead!”
He was so angry that all he could do was to glare at me twice, but he could not say anything more than that.
He used to be a nobleman, a drug lord, but in either capacity he was noble and reserved, and no one of the opposite S*x had ever shown him the unique feminine fun of stirring up trouble, or perhaps he had seen other women cry and hang themselves, and felt confident that even if it came down to him, he would be able to manage all the variations of women with ease.
But there’s a difference between paper and battle, and the reality is that he’s already squared away.
Just as he thinks he can manipulate Fu Shenyan’s life, it is in fact nothing more than a flashy illusion.
I smiled, politely posing as two charming, stretching my neck to look at him with interest, looking at the teenage first love-like panic burning in his eyes, and suddenly spoke out, “Let me guess, the reason why you were the first person I saw when I woke up was not because you couldn’t wait to do something to me, but because you wanted to see me all the time, right? ”
Of course Murong Zhuan wouldn’t admit it, gritting his teeth and deliberately making himself look as ghastly as he did that day in the air-raid shelter, “Don’t use your staged tricks on me, the fact that I’m here and you’re awake only means that the doctor is highly skilled in medicine and has pinpointed the time too precisely, do you think I would be like those stupid men who waste a whole day for a patient who doesn’t know how long it will take to wake up? a whole day?”
I answered almost immediately with a rhetorical question, “Wouldn’t you?”
Mouron froze for half a second, just half a second, then said with certainty, “Of course.”
Half a second was enough to say it all.
He actually did guard me for that long.
Most importantly, Muyong Zhuan was completely oblivious to the fact that he was explaining to me.
Chapter 2306
He said it himself, but here he is, tangling with me about what is right and what is wrong.
It’s a good thing, because the more Muyong Zhuan speaks his mind, the easier it is to do things that are not true.
“Well then, it was me who made a fool of myself, I thought ……” I didn’t insist on forcing him to admit it, instead I bowed my head and acted a little lost.
“What did you think?” Murong asked.
“Nothing.” I deliberately avoided his expectant eyes, pretending not to be aware of his stupid heart.
As if humiliated, a cold light flashed under his eyes, “You think I don’t know what you want?”
“You know, huh?” I leaned over and put my hand on the table, lifting my chin to look at him, “But so what? The clearer you know what I’m up to, the more you should know better than to do it, right?”
According to the rules of the game, even if Murong Zhuan knew that I was doing everything to tease him, he couldn’t stop it.
To fall in love with someone is to be a moth to a flame, to know that there is a tiger on the mountain, even if there is a fire in front of you, you will jump in without hesitation.
The anger gradually faded, and after a few moments, a meaningful smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
However, in a matter of seconds, his face changed once again, all the shallow emotions were curtailed and only a cold face remained, “Yes, it is interesting, you have once again refreshed my perception of you.”
“I can take that to mean you’re starting to be interested in me right?” I asked with a smile.
Murong Zhuan lowered his eyes and swept me a faint glance, didn’t answer, put down the dishes in his hands and walked out without looking back.
Was it impatience not bothering to explain, or an inability to face up to his own heart?
I didn’t mind at all giving myself an extra point of trust and was certain it was the latter.
After a week in the hospital, Murong came to see me almost every day, but he had become much more cautious, barely interacting with me except to watch me eat the meals he brought.
He was trying to limit our relationship to just being partners in a game, rather than a fling that was about to start, trying to numb himself to the fact that it was just a game.
It was my impromptu decision to leave the hospital, without informing anyone but Miller.
There was no one in the house, it was cold and quiet, it didn’t feel popular, the past came back to me, I could even remember clearly what had happened in every corner of the house: Fu Shen Yan playing Gouda with An Xin in the living room, Zhi An fiddling with the microcomputer on the sofa, or An Xin’s quirky ways of making things difficult for Gu Nanxun ……
It’s as real as if it happened yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, it’s all gone again.
This is all caused by Murong Zhuan.
“You can’t stand for too long after you’ve just been released from the hospital, so sit down first.” Miller reminded.
I took a deep breath to calm down and nodded slowly, letting her help me to the couch over in the living room.
After sitting down, I took out my phone and tossed it to Miller after tapping on the text message dialog box from Murong Zhuan.
“Use my tone of voice and send the itinerary for today, one piece at a time.”
Although Miller was unsure, he didn’t ask much and took the phone and just typed it in.
Within a minute, he tossed the phone back to me, “Okay.”
