Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 665: 664 Hear his voice

“You have a fever, did you feel unwell before we boarded the plane, why didn’t you say so?” Wen Ran was filled with anxiety.

Qin Mu gave a reassuring smile, whispering, “Don’t worry, I’m okay.”

As he spoke, he raised his left hand to touch his forehead, which was very hot. No wonder, he felt a headache, and a bit dizzy.

“Maybe it’s due to the wound on my arm.”

Qin Mu’s voice was light, as if he didn’t speak about himself. However, his words caused Wen Ran’s complexion to change dramatically, her eyes fixed tightly on him: “What wound, your arm is injured, let me see.”

All she knew was that there were many people at the airport, not to mention those who chased after them. A group of people in front of them almost knocked Wen Ran over. Qin Mu swiftly pulled her aside. She dodged the charging crowd, but crashed into his chest.

At that moment, he had used his right hand. He hadn’t cried out in pain, but it seemed, his brow had furrowed a bit.

With her eyes full of concern, she looked at his right arm. Her eyebrows furrowed, pressing her lips together, she reached out to roll up his sleeve.

Qin Mu tried to stop her, but she scolded him first: “Don’t move.”

He really didn’t dare to move anymore.

Wen Ran’s movements were very light and careful. When she rolled up his shirt sleeve to his elbow, she saw the white bandages. Her eyebrows tightened a little, she looked up at Qin Mu and slowed down her movements further.

Finally, the bandages wrapped around his arm were completely revealed. Initially, the edges of the bandage appeared white, but once it was completely exposed, the bandage was stained a dark red color in the middle from the dried blood.

Because the bandage was wrapped thickly, it did not soak through his shirt.

“How did you get injured?”

Wen Ran looked up at Qin Mu, whose eyes had slightly changed. He casually said, “Just a minor injury, it’s nothing serious.”

As the plane landed and passengers already began leaving the cabin, Wen Ran pursed her lips, saying nothing, and fixed Qin Mu’s sleeve.

After getting in a taxi, Wen Ran reported the hospital’s name. Qin Mu was startled, “Wen Ran, I should take you to the hotel first, and then go to the hospital to find Mo Xiuchen.”

“Go to the hospital first, I’ll go back to the hotel later.”

Wen Ran had a cold expression, calm with a hint of displeasure in her voice. He was injured and had not even said a word. If she had known he hadn’t slept all night and was injured as well, she would have changed the flight to let him rest first no matter what.

“Aren’t you afraid of Mo Xiuchen seeing you?”

Qin Mu furrowed his brow, asking with concern.

“I won’t get off the car.”

Wen Ran coldly replied, urging the driver to drive faster.

Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped at the hospital entrance. Wen Ran got out of the car. Qin Mu opened his mouth but did not say anything in the end.

She had stayed at this hospital for more than ten days in the past, so she was familiar with it. Fearful of being recognized, she intentionally wore a mask. Familiar with the routes, she took Qin Mu by the hand to the outpatient clinic.

During the doctor’s treatment of Qin Mu’s wound, Wen Ran sat by his side, somewhat distracted. Qin Mu glanced at her from time to time. He knew she was thinking about Mo Xiuchen.

Leaving the outpatient clinic, Qin Mu hesitated and then said to Wen Ran, “I’m going upstairs to see Mo Xiuchen now. Keep the phone line open with me and you’ll be able to hear Mo Xiuchen’s voice.”

Wen Ran’s eyes lit up, but thinking of something, she immediately regained her calm, “Not now. Go back to the hotel and rest. We’ll do this tomorrow.”

Although he had been sleeping on the plane, he didn’t know when he started to have a fever, and he didn’t sleep well.

Qin Mu gave a faint smile, “No need, I’ll go see Mo Xiuchen now.”

Wen Ran hesitated, but in the end, her longing for him was too strong. She nodded lightly, saying gratefully, “I’ll be waiting for you at the restaurant across the street.”

They went straight to the hospital from the airport, having skipped a meal. Later, they could grab a meal before heading back to the hotel.

Qin Mu nodded, then cautioned, “Be careful.” He turned around and headed towards the elevator.

As Qin Mu disappeared around the corner, Wen Ran turned around and walked towards the hospital entrance. Just as she left the hospital, her phone rang. It was Qin Mu.

She pressed the answer button and greeted softly. Qin Mu’s voice came from the phone, “The elevator has come. Don’t hang up the phone.”

“Okay.”

As Wen Ran entered the restaurant across the street, the voices of Mo Xiuchen and Qin Mu came to her ears through the phone, “Ah Mu!”

Her footsteps faltered, and her heart pounded at the familiar, deep voice. The next second, her brows furrowed tightly.

The voices of Mo Xiuchen and Qin Mu conversing were not as warm or spirited as when he had spoken to her over the phone the night before. Now, his voice carried signs of exhaustion and the weakness from being tormented by illness.

Once she realized this, her heart tightened abruptly, as if an invisible hand was squeezing it painfully, bringing tears to her eyes.

She found a seat by the window, looking at the hospital building across the street through the transparent glass. The conversation between Qin Mu and Mo Xiuchen came into her ear, “Xiuchen, it’s only been a few days, how have you lost so much weight?”

He didn’t intend to make Wen Ran worry, but he could not help but ask such a question. In just a week, Mo Xiuchen had really lost a considerable amount of weight, making his originally distinguished facial features even more pronounced.

The torment of illness had deprived him of his usual charm and elegance. All that remained was exhaustion and a faint trace of sickness.

Seeing Mo Xiuchen like this, let alone Wen Ran, even Qin Mu, a grown man, felt a little sore in his eyes.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mo Xiuchen was half leaning on the bed, a shallow curve on the edges of his mouth. His voice was even softer, “This is just the beginning, I can still endure it.”

“Has Uncle Gu not yet researched a treatment?”

Qin Mu frowned, asking with concern.

Mo Xiuchen shook his head, “Every plan has failed during the animal testing phase. Did your arm get injured?”

With his sharp eyes, he suddenly saw Qin Mu’s right arm and immediately switched the topic to him.

Qin Mu was taken aback and gave a faint smile, “I got injured last night. I found the place where Liao Dongxing’s assets were hidden according to your address. I underestimated his caution and was discovered by his men. However, getting this little injury was worth it. I’ve already arranged for someone to take over.”

A glint flashed in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes and he said gratefully, “Thank you for your hard work, Ah Mu.”

If it weren’t for their help, he, a sick person, wouldn’t be able to handle these matters alone.

Qin Mu shook his head, “If you hadn’t found out that Liao Dongxing hid those items there, I wouldn’t have found it either. Should we negotiate with Liao Dongxing now or should we wait for D Country to get a handle on Qin Sen before we act?”

“After tonight, we can’t delay with Liao Dongxing any longer. If we fail here tonight, we should negotiate with Liao Dongxing tomorrow.”
