“Awake?”

With a dull voice rang into his ears, Xie Tingyue tilted his head to meet Chu Mu’s eyes, and his warm and gentle smile.

Smile….

Right this is Chu Mu.

Xie Tingyue’s consciousness hadn’t completely withdrawn from his dream, he stare at Chu Mu—his lips are close to his eyes dyeing his face red.

Chu Mu frowned slightly: “Wife looks at me like this again and I might not be able to stand it”

For a moment Xie Tingyue felt that Chu Mu’s eyes were not right when he saw it. It was too deep and complex to understand.

This man was so sick that he almost died but dared to joke around!

Xie Tingyue stiffened his face and sincerely said: “If you were not a patient I would have killed you a long time ago”

“In front of me, wife doesn’t need to bare it”

Chu Mu raised his brows and a dark light flows in his eyes, it’s—pity.

What a pity, he didn’t get hit!

Xie Tingyue rolled his eyes and turned around to the table instead: “Are you thirsty? Want to drink some hot water?”

“Yes wife”

Since the medicine was very powerful after waking up, Chu Mu’s spirit improved visibly.

“It’s almost dawn you haven’t sleep for long”

Xie Tingyue voice was slightly soft with a comforting voice: “Are you better? Are you uncomfortable?”

Chu Mu was silent for a long time and looked Xie Tingyue: “You have been by my side… have you seen everything?”

Xie Tingyue nodded: “You are very ill and needed someone to take care of you”

“Do you now understand my status in the family?”

Chu Mu intended to hint something.

Of course Xie Tingyue knew that Chu Mu had a very special status in the Chu family, because he might die at any time, everyone had expected it and had already given up. The eldest young master of the Chu family is not powerful person here, he will die if dies no one would really care.

As for the inner courtyard, heh it’s all drama.

The two of them want to live well apart from advantage of their weak identities they can only take advantage of….

But the timing of asking the question was so strange, Xie Tingyue suddenly squinted: “You—was that intentional?”

Are you pretending to be sick?

Chu Mu paused, the corner of his lips raised slightly and the bottom of his eyes was undulating: “Wife is doubting me, I’m so sad”

Xie TIngyue: ….

He really didn’t want to see this.

But Chu Mu’s body is really in a bad state, he indeed often got sick. Living is already hard, who would be willing to have a comfortable life but is sick and suffers pain?

Xie Tingyue reflects on whether he has any prejudice: “Sorry”

Chu Mu looked at him with a deeper smile on his face.

Xie Tingyue: “What are you smiling at?”

Chu Mu: “Wife is really soft-hearted, it makes people like it but felt distress”

Glaring at Chu Mu, Xie Tingyue replied: “Whose situation is more distressing? Please take god care of yourself and don’t trouble others!”

Raising his eyebrows, seemingly proud Chu Mu thought: It’s troublesome but aren’t you the same?

Xie Tingyue: ….(Reading Chu Mu’s mind)

I’m really sorry, that I seem to disappoint you!

“Xie’er, you saving me—is it because I am your husband, or because of the Chu family or because I am Chu Mu?”
