The little woman in her arms breathed more deeply.

But she didn't say a word next.

He has faced various crises and difficulties, none of which overwhelmed him as much as now.

Why didn't she continue talking?
He was anxious and restless.

Cheng Lu took a deep breath: "Anyway, don't go, don't act rashly. Tell me if there is any big action, we are husband and wife, we should discuss everything together."

"Okay." His voice was low, a little inexplicably lost.

Not daring to meet his eyes, she immediately looked away.

"Well... Are you tired? I want to take a bath." After a busy day, she felt sticky and uncomfortable all over her body.

"You go first, I'm going to hold a video conference, the group still has some work."

"Yeah." She nodded obediently.

The room they ordered was huge.

In addition to the bedroom inside, there is also a living room outside. The north-facing side is the kitchen and dining room, and the other side is an independent study room, which is quiet and spacious.

She took a shower in the bathroom inside the bedroom, while Gu Ci worked in the study.

It was only when she was taking a shower that she realized that the place where the sprain had sprained before was already red and swollen.

It hurts!

Just now she was preoccupied with other things, but ignored this point.

Now the whole person is relaxed, the injury on her ankle makes her a little unbearable.

How can it hurt so much?

After taking a shower, she cautiously tiptoed out of the bathroom.

Taking a closer look, the ankle that was originally white and tender was swollen a lot.

She was startled: "how could this be..."

Subconsciously looking in the direction of the study, the door over there was half-closed, and the voice of Gu Ci being in a meeting could be heard from inside from time to time.

This man has given up a lot for her, and she doesn't want him to worry about this matter.

Gritting her teeth, she changed her clothes and sent a text message to Gu Ci.

——I'm a little hungry. I'm going to the restaurant to see if there's anything delicious.

After posting, she quietly went out alone.

"I'm sorry, Miss Cheng, we don't have doctors or healers here, only medical kits..."

The hotel manager is very helpless.

"It doesn't matter, as long as everything in the medical kit is complete."

She herself is a double master of medicine, and she can treat the wound with an ice pack.

"This...we can't tell, or you can see for yourself."

Soon a medical kit was delivered to Cheng Lu.

When I opened it, there were some basic medicines and equipment to deal with trauma, but only ice packs and gauze were missing.

Her feet hurt unbearably.

Like the stamina of drunkenness, waves came surging.

She still has work tomorrow, so she can't delay asking for leave because of this little injury.

While worrying, suddenly Mu Cang appeared out of nowhere.

"What are you doing here?"

"It's okay." Cheng Lu quickly closed the medical box, deliberately keeping a distance.

Mu Cang's eyes darkened a bit: "I thought our friend, Miss Cheng, you don't have to be so wary of me."

Being seen through by someone at a glance, she was very embarrassed: "Hehe, it's nothing, Mr. Mu thinks too much."

"Am I thinking too much, or do you know that our two families really had a marriage contract before, so you are here to avoid suspicion?" Mu Cen pointed out.

She was suddenly a little upset.

What's the matter with this man?

Isn't the politeness among adults just seeing through and not telling the truth?
Besides, she is married, so there are some things that should be kept at a distance.

She raised her eyes: "Since Mr. Mu knows it well, please stay away from me. I don't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings to my husband."

"Ha ha."

Mu Cang laughed dryly, but his body didn't move.

Cheng Lu was a little anxious.

She ignored the pain in her ankle and walked forward with a limp.

Before taking two steps, someone grabbed her arm, and Mu Cang directly pinned her on the sofa next to her.

"you--"

"Your feet are hurt like this, why are you trying to be brave? You are really the same as when you were a child, willful and stubborn." Mu Cang muttered.

Cheng Lu heard it clearly, and she widened her eyes: "Don't act like you know me well, I didn't have the habit of playing with elders when I was young."

Mu Cang was not angry at all, but smiled instead: "Really? Who was that who always followed me and called my brother when I was young, and asked me to take you to Nannan to play?"

With a bang, her mind went blank.

That is a long memory.

At that time, she was just a five or six-year-old doll who didn't understand anything, and her best playmate was Xiao Nannan from the Mu family next door.But she is young, doesn't know the way, and the Mu family's house is big, so every time she goes there, she always looks for that good-looking little brother...

If I remember correctly, the first time she called her Miss Sister.

Mu Cang was only thirteen or fourteen years old at that time, and his face was exquisite and beautiful, so it's no wonder she admitted her mistake.

It turns out...that little brother is Mu Cang!

Cheng Lu was stunned for a few seconds, and quickly realized: "Thank you then, I was too young at that time, and now I can't remember clearly."

Mu Cang snorted and laughed twice: "You little heartless."

The tone of these words is quite ambiguous.

She immediately sensed the danger, and said seriously: "Mr. Mu, please stay away from me, I just want to go back to my room now."

"No, you don't want to. Wait a moment, you don't want Gu Ci to see me holding you and send you back, do you?"

"you!"

What is this if it is not a threat?
Her eyes were burning.

Mu Cang quickly ordered someone to bring ice packs and gauze.

He squatted at her feet, applying an ice pack to the wound.

After a slice of cold, the burning pain also eased a lot.

"Thank you, Mr. Mu, but I can do such a small thing by myself." She said coldly, "Please, Mr. Mu, don't do these melon fields, I am not—"

"Okay, you can do the rest yourself, I'll go first."

Mu Cang interrupted her, turned around and left without looking back.

Looking at his back, Cheng Lu held his breath in his chest, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"There's something wrong..." she muttered.

Suddenly, she felt that someone was looking at her, subconsciously looked back, and met Gu Ci's eyes.

She was taken aback: "Are you done? Why did you come out?"

"You are not hungry, why are you in the medical room?"

"I... I just had a sudden pain in my foot. Just now, Mu Cang sent me an ice pack. I didn't tell him anything else."

She was in a hurry, ignoring the pain, and stood up suddenly, like a child eager to explain to her parents, with a layer of fine sweat on her forehead.

With a cold face, Gu Ci walked up to her side, gently pressing her shoulder to make her sit back.

The man's slender fingers were nimble and precise, and he checked the wound: "I'll have someone bring it to you for the medicine you need, and you can prepare the medicine yourself, so I don't have to worry about it."

She was a little panicked, and quickly reported some medicines.

"A Ci, I didn't meet that Mu Cang quietly, and I don't know why he is here."

She is still explaining.

The man bent down and hugged her firmly.
