[4] Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please, Restrain Yourself

Chapter 707: Stealthily

Li Beinian was staying in a single’s ward.

When Mu Xichen arrived, Chi Dali was in the ward looking after his daughter.

Sensing that someone was approaching, Chi Dali turned around. His eyes lit up, but he quickly said, “You…”

“Shh…” Mu Xichen gestured for him to be quiet as his gaze fell on Li Beinian. “How is she?”

“She’s fine, but what happened to you?” Chi Dali stood up and looked at Mu Xichen’s extremely pale face. He lowered his voice and said, “I heard from Beinian that you were shot? Where are you hurt?”

Mu Xichen shook his head lightly and said, “I’m fine.”

“How could you be fine!” Chi Dali looked displeased. “Look at how pale you are. If Beinian saw this, her heart would ache!”

Mu Xichen hadn’t thought about this problem. When he heard this, he subconsciously touched his face.

His body was a little weak and it took him great endurance just to walk here.

His head was spinning. Mu Xichen knew that it was probably because he had lost too much blood and hadn’t eaten.

After what Chi Dali had said, he wondered if he should take some remedial measures, when he saw the woman on the bed move.

Li Beinian slept late last night and was feeling unwell. Hence even thought it was past 10 am, she was still sleeping.

Except, in her sleep, she suddenly thought that she heard Mu Xichen’s voice.

As this feeling was overpowering, she quickly opened her eyes.

Sure enough, she saw Mu Xichen in his thick down jacket before her.

The room was well-lit and Mu Xichen’s face was visible to her at once.

His normally red lips were now pale and immediately, Li Beinian was wide awake.

His honey colored, tanned skin was now as pale as sheet!

Mu Xichen’s heart skipped a beat when he met her gaze. He subconsciously turned around, but Li Beinian had already exclaimed, “Ah Chen, where are you going!”

The man halted and turned around.

As Li Beinian looked at his face, her heart ached.

Her first reaction was to get off the bed, however Chi Dali hurriedly said, “You’ve sprained your neck. If you move it again, it will worsen!”

Mu Xichen immediately went forward and held her down. He looked at her face, taking in every detail, and whispered guiltily, “I’ve come too late.”

Hearing his voice, she felt a painful swelling growing in her throat. Her tears started to flow uncontrollably.

Mu Xichen lost control of his emotions. Looking at her tears, he whispered, “Don’t cry. Where does it hurt?”

Li Beinian sobbed and said, “Help me up, my neck hurts.”

He held her neck with one hand and her shoulder with the other, gently pushing her up.

Then, he placed the pillow behind her back, helped her sit up, and wiped away her tears.

The girl did not dare to touch him. She looked at him from head to toe and asked, “Where were you shot?”

“It’s just a small injury, it will be fine.” Mu Xichen couldn’t help but kiss her eyes. “Look, I’m fine.”

“He was shot in his arm! Left arm,” T Jing couldn’t help but interrupt.
