This corridor leads to the south courtyard and the north courtyard, and it is also the only way for Mu Xichen to return to his bedroom.

She was not surprised to meet him here.

She greeted politely: "Mr. Mu, why are you back in the old house?"

Of course Mu Xichen would not tell her that he followed her back because he was worried about her.

"Come back and see big brother." He looked at her pale face: "Your complexion is very bad, do you have a fever?"

As he spoke, he touched her forehead with the back of his hand.

But she quickly dodged it.

This is the old house of the Mu family, it would be bad if someone saw it.

Mu Xichen saw that she was worried, so he retracted his palm cooperatively.

He just said, "You may have a fever, go back to your room and take your temperature."

"Thank you, Mr. Mu, I'll go first."

Mu Xichen nodded respectfully.

She passed by Mu Xichen, but when she got close to him, her legs gave way uncontrollably and she fell to the ground.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Mu Xichen grabbed her crumbling body.

"Shen Xin."

Mu Xichen put his arms around her waist and bowed his head.

Shen Xin really wanted to stand up, but her body couldn't do what she wanted to do.

On the contrary, she was startled by an angry reprimand.

"What are you doing!"

Mrs. Mu said angrily.

There is only one feeling in Shen Xin's heart: It's over, the thing she fears the most is finally about to happen.

"Mr. Mu, you... let go of me quickly."

she whispered.

Not only did Mu Xichen not let go of her, but he hugged her horizontally, and then said to Mrs. Mu indifferently: "Shen Xin is sick, I will send her back to her room to rest first."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Mrs. Mu's angry green face, and strode towards the guest room.

Shen Xin who was held in his arms only hated that her body was weak and useless.

She herself was fine.

She was just worried that Mu Xichen would be dragged down by herself.

Mu Xichen put her on the bed, and calmly said to her, "Lie down first, I'll call and ask Dr. Zhang to come over and take a look at you."

"Mu Xichen, can you leave me alone?"

She said to him helplessly.

"Since you fainted beside me, I can't ignore it."

Mu Xichen said into the microphone: "Miss Shen is sick, come to the guest room."

Soon, Doctor Zhang came over.

He also brought his medicine chest.

He checked Shen Xin's symptoms, and asked, "How did Miss Shen catch a cold? I have to prick my fingertip blood for a test."

Shen Xin was so ill that he was in a daze and couldn't answer his question for a while.

It was Mu Xichen who answered on her behalf: "If it rained last night and had a fever, you can give her a cold shot first."

"That's fine."

Doctor Zhang gave Shen Xin an injection.

Shen Xin looked at the injection, shook her head and refused: "Can I just take the medicine instead of the injection?"

"Miss Shen, you are too sick to get an injection."

Doctor Zhang asked very curiously: "Miss Shen was quick and ruthless when giving the young master the needle, but she was afraid of needles?"

Shen Xin didn't know why she was so afraid of injections.

She could only smile awkwardly at Dr. Zhang.

Doctor Zhang wanted to give Shen Xin an injection himself, he supported Shen Xin's palm with one hand, and held the needle with the other hand.

Shen Xin's small hands trembled visibly, her eyes were closed tightly, her expression painful.

Until someone gently held her arm.

She smelled a familiar and pleasant smell, and gradually relaxed.

No matter how long it has been, and no matter what relationship she has with Mu Xichen, he can always give her a sense of security.

Every time.

The needle went smoothly. Dr. Zhang helped her wrap the tape and reminded: "Miss Shen, don't use too much force, the needle is easy to crooked."

Shen Xin gave a soft 'hmm'.

She didn't open her eyes from the beginning to the end, but she could clearly feel Mu Xichen's big palm silently holding her arm, and then quietly withdrawing the palm from her arm.

After Dr. Zhang left.

Mrs. Mu came in.

He looked at Shen Xin who was dying on the big bed, although he was worried that she would not be able to take care of Mu Jinnian if her body collapsed, but the expression on her face was extremely ugly.

The scene she saw in the garden just now couldn't make her feel relieved after all.

Shen Xin knew that the old lady was very angry, so she quietly pulled the quilt over her head and pretended to be asleep.

Mu Xichen was left alone to face it.

Mrs. Mu asked straight to the point: "What were you doing just now?"

Mu Xichen glanced at Shen Xin on the bed, and calmly explained: "Didn't I just say that Shen Xin fell ill and fainted."

"Are you acting in a TV series? Did you faint in your arms by such a coincidence?"

Mrs. Mu glared at him: "Mu Xichen, you'd better give me some self-respect. Shen Xin is now your elder brother's fiancee and also your future sister-in-law."

"I know you are ambitious and have always wanted to overwhelm Jinnian, but I warn you, as long as I'm around, you don't want to bully him."

Shen Xin couldn't take it anymore.

She quietly pulled the quilt off her head, and said to Old Madam Mu: "Old Madam, I did faint because of illness just now, and Second Young Master Mu helped me up."

"Are you speaking for him?"

Mrs. Mu's eyes swept coldly and landed on her.

She flinched immediately and said, "I'm just seeking truth from facts."

"And you." Madam Mu turned her finger on Shen Xin: "Remember your current identity, don't get entangled with your uncle here, and make people laugh."

Shen Xin shut up.

But Mu Xichen said lightly: "Grandma may have forgotten that Shen Xin and I used to be husband and wife."

Madam Mu's face darkened.

"It's an agreed couple." Shen Xin quickly explained.

"Old lady, I know my current status, and I will stay with the young master well. As long as the young master is willing, I will marry him as promised."

She secretly winked at Mu Xichen, telling him to shut up.

Mu Xichen looked at her, feeling like being stabbed in his heart.

Nothing hurts her heart more than saying in front of everyone that she will marry another man.

There were complex emotions in his eyes.

Sure enough, he didn't say anything more.

Mrs. Mu was obviously very satisfied with Shen Xin's guarantee.

His complexion also softened a lot: "Shen Xin, it's good that you keep the agreement, you've also seen that Jinnian loves you so much, and relies on you so much, if you leave, it will be difficult for him to live."

It was as if something was stuck in Shen Xin's heart, and it was unbearably dull.

She didn't dare to look at Mu Xichen who was standing aside.

Because I am afraid that I will be shaken.
