It was like a long dream. When Mu Jiaren woke up again, she found herself lying on a hospital bed with white sheets, white quilt, and white walls.

Turning her head, she saw Quan Xiao who was guarding the bedside, and the infusion bottle with a needle in her hand.

"Are you awake?" Quan Xiao's usually cold face was a little surprised at this moment, a trace of distress flashed in his deep eyes, Mu Jiaren naturally didn't see it.

"How is Uncle Zhang?" Mu Jiaren asked Quan Xiao eagerly, there was no trace of blood on her pale face, and her weak body made her speechless, but she was still struggling to get up, and was pressed by Quan Xiao Living.

"Uncle Zhang is fine. His family has received news that he has come to the hospital to accompany him in bed. Don't worry." Quan Xiao said with a frown.

The first thing she said when she woke up was the butler, she was always thinking about Uncle Zhang, Quan Xiao couldn't imagine, if Uncle Zhang was always bad, would she have to live in self-blame and guilt for the rest of her life.

More importantly, she was not to blame for this incident at all.

"That's good." Mu Jiaren felt relieved.

"Ringlingling" the clear ringtone of the mobile phone rang, Quan Xiao looked down and saw that it was a call from Qingyan, he pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said to Mu Jiaren: "I'll answer the call."

"it is good."

Gently closing the door of the ward, Quan Xiao picked up the phone: "Qing Yan, how is the investigation going?"

"Your Excellency, I already have some clues, but I'm still not sure. Do you think I'll tell you in the past, or simply report back on the phone?"

"Come here."

After hanging up the phone, Quan Xiao stood by the window, looking at the sun hanging in mid-air, with deep and resolute eyes.

In a secluded corner of the cafe.

Sitting opposite Quan Xiao, Qing Yan said softly, "Your Excellency, judging from the current situation, one person is the most suspected..."

Having said that, Qing Yan paused, and glanced at Quan Xiao hesitantly, wondering if he should say the next thing.

After knocking the table heavily, Quan Xiao showed an impatient look on his face: "Don't play charades for me, tell me, tell me quickly!"

Quan Xiao almost yelled the last sentence, and Qing Yan was so shocked that he almost threw the key in his hand on the ground.

Qingyan has never seen Your Excellency like this.

This time Qingyan didn't dare to play charades any more, but obediently told the information he found: "Your Excellency, it is preliminarily concluded that Ximen Shuying is very suspicious."

"Ximen Shuying?" Quan Xiao raised his eyebrows, with a trace of suspicion in his eyes, he never expected Ximen Shuying to do such a thing.

Qingyan looked at Quan Xiao cautiously, the sunlight shining through the window glass made Quan Xiao's face resolute and handsome.

"Your Excellency, next we..."

"Continue to investigate, we must find out the truth of the matter." Quan Xiao said decisively, then picked up the coffee leisurely, took a sip, and Qingyan replied loudly: "Yes!"

Quan Xiao slammed the coffee cup on the table heavily.

When she returned to the ward, Mrs. Quan was already waiting for Quan Xiao at the door of the ward.

Quan Xiao walked over and asked, "Mom, why are you here?"

"Oh, my daughter-in-law-to-be is sick, can you not come? You are really serious, don't tell me that the beautiful woman is ill, and leave her behind, and you run around by yourself."

Mrs. Quan looked at her son reproachfully.

Before Quan Xiao could reply, Madam Quan felt distressed again: "Look at you, you have lost weight after staying in the hospital for a day and a night, so haggard, son, why don't you go back and have a rest, here mother will take care of you."

"No." Quan Xiao sullenly, with a firm attitude, put his hands in his pockets and said: "You go back."

Mrs. Quan shook her head helplessly, there was really nothing she could do about her son.

"squeak"

The door of the ward was gently pushed open, Mu Jiaren looked up and saw Quan Xiao's slender figure walking over, she straightened her back and sat on the hospital bed.

The bed was still dripping.

"Is it better?" Quan Xiao asked softly. Since the accident, Quan Xiao has shown unprecedented gentleness, which made Mu Jiaren a little unaccustomed.

Turning her head away awkwardly, Mu Jiaren didn't look at Quan Xiao, her little hands kept tearing at the bed sheet, she whispered: "Quan Xiao, we still don't want to get married."

"Why don't you get married?" The originally gentle and handsome face instantly turned cold, as if covered with a layer of frost.

This woman actually said she won't get married?Could it be that he is the rhythm of being rejected?

Quan Xiao paced back and forth in the room on his slender legs, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

It has always been the only one who has the power to not want women, so why is it women's turn not to want him?

"Tell me, why don't you get married?" Quan Xiao stopped, staring at Mu Jiaren with piercing eyes and asked again.

After hesitating for a long time, Mu Jiaren finally raised her face as if she had made up her mind and said, "I think Uncle Zhang is still lying in the hospital, and we are getting married like this, and I feel very uncomfortable."

It was so!
Quan Xiao stared at Mu Jiaren with deep eyes, and Mu Jiaren felt terrified at the sight of him, and then pulled the bed sheet weakly and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Although she has already had the closest relationship with this cool and handsome man, Mu Jiaren doesn't think that she has a good relationship with Quan Xiao from the bottom of her heart.

People like Quan Xiao always seem to be calculating, and every step he takes seems to be planned in advance, and such a shrewd strategy makes Mu Jiaren feel scared.

Maybe it was a mistake to approach the power lord from the beginning.

Mu Jiaren regretted that so many things had happened with Quan Xiao and regretted that he had appeared in her life.

If the two of them hadn't met, many tragedies might not have happened, such as the case of Uncle Zhang.

"The wedding will be held as scheduled." Quan Xiao slowly spit out these words, Mu Jiaren looked up and saw Quan Xiao's firm and unquestionable gaze, she was so angry that she couldn't say a word.

She knew that she was not qualified to discuss matters with Quan Xiao at all, which thing was not Quan Xiao's arbitrariness?

"Quan Xiao, do you think your appearance is annoying?"

Regarding Quan Xiao's decision, Mu Jiaren decided not to remain silent this time, but to fight back.

Why do you have to listen to him every time?Why should she be led by the nose by him?
Suddenly, a sharp gaze glanced at Mu Jiaren, and Mu Jiaren was so shocked that she didn't dare to look at Quan Xiao's eyes.

Quan Xiao suddenly approached Mu Jiaren, and the smell of ambergris instantly enveloped her whole body.

His body was getting closer and closer, and a deep and magnetic sang sound rang in his ears: "What did you say?"

No one has ever dared to say that he is hated by the power lord, never.

The little white rabbit's courage is getting bigger and bigger because of his doting, and he even dares to refute his decision.

How dare you... despise him?

Of course Mu Jiaren didn't believe that Quan Xiao didn't hear what she was saying, she knew better than anyone else that he was threatening her.

Mu Jiaren raised her face, and said in a firm tone with slight anger: "I mean you hate it, do you dare to say that the express delivery is not some evil result of you outside?"

Mu Jiaren didn't know where her courage came from, maybe it was Uncle Zhang's painful appearance that made her courageous.

Quan Xiao suddenly fell silent, and couldn't refute Mu Jiaren's question, so what she said was wrong?
Maybe it's all his fault.

Mu Jiaren thought that Quan Xiao would argue with her dissatisfied, but unexpectedly, he walked out of the ward without saying anything.

After Quan Xiao went out, Mu Jia felt a little regretful. Did she go too far?

In the next period of time, Mu Jiaren often went to the ward to visit the housekeeper. The housekeeper had almost recovered, but there were still long and numerous skin grafting operations waiting for him.

The afternoon sun slanted in from the window, hitting Mu Jiaren's face warmly.

There were only Mu Jiaren and the housekeeper in the ward.

"Uncle Zhang, I'm sorry..." Before she finished speaking, Mu Jiaren choked up, her big eyes were red, and tears were rolling in her eyes, and they were about to fall in the next second.
