Mu Lee was currently lying in the hospital, as if she had been dreaming for a very long time. In the dream, there was a car accident, blood stains, miserable cries, and many large fires.
When Mu Lee was woken up, she found herself in a white room. Mu Lee looked around and found herself in the hospital.
"You're awake?" A magnetic voice came from beside Mu Lee's ears. Mu Lee was startled, she turned her head and saw the man beside him.
Mu Lee was surprised: "Why are you back?"
He had a fever all night and his throat was already a little hoarse.
"I knew you were sick. I came back last night." Gu Tingchen said with pain in his heart.
Mu Lee looked carefully and only now did she realise that Gu Tingchen's face was indeed a little haggard, probably because of staying up all night.
Mu Lee sighed helplessly: "Your work is so busy, there's no need to come back, I'm just having a fever, there's no big problem."
"Work is not as important as you." Gu Tingchen said as the door opened.
Sister Liu walked over with a thermal insulation box: "Xiao Li, I cooked some porridge at home. Quickly drink it while it was still warm.
After the Sister Liu finished speaking, she placed the things in her hands on the bedside table and said: "You don't know how anxious Young Master was last night when you came back, so you came to the hospital in a hurry. You didn't even eat or rest for the entire night."
"Sister Liu, go get your chopsticks." Gu Tingchen seemed to not want Mu Lee to hear all these, he immediately stopped him from continuing, and Sister Liu laughed indifferently before walking out of the room.
Mu Lee looked at the man in front of him: "Are you tired? "Should I come up and rest? I'm fine now."
"I'm fine." Gu Tingchen said, as he handed the porridge over to Mu Lee, "Eat while it's hot, your throat is already so mute."
After saying that, he looked at the time, "I need to go back and take care of some matters. I don't need to go to the branch office for now, I'll be staying at home with you for the time being." He then left the ward in a wheelchair.
However, Mu Lee was a little surprised. Why would this man suddenly heat up to her? Mu Lee clearly remembered what he had said to Mo Ling back then.
But thinking about it, Mu Lee felt relieved. Everything was because of the marriage, and she and Gu Tingchen indeed had not reached that kind of state of love to the point where it was inseparable from one another.
In the evening, Mu Lee had already completed the discharge procedures, she did not like the atmosphere in the hospital, so she went back to visit her mother.
When Mu Lee returned to her room, she found that Gu Tingchen's study door was ajar, and Gu Tingchen who was inside seemed to be busy with his work.
"Why aren't you resting even though it's so late?" Mu Lee opened the door to the study room. Gu Tingchen was concentrating on his work and did not hear Mu Lee's question.
Seeing that Gu Tingchen was not moved, Mu Lee could only return to her own room. After thinking for a bit, she went to the kitchen to prepare some food and waited for Gu Tingchen to finish handling the matters.
When Gu Tingchen finished dealing with the matter, it was already midnight. He stretched his body and walked out of the study room to find that the light in the living room was still on.
Gu Tingchen sat in his wheelchair and entered the living room, only to discover that Mu Lee had fallen asleep at the dining table, causing the food on the table to become cold a long time ago.
"Mu Lee, wake up, go back to your room and sleep." Gu Tingchen said softly.
Mu Lee opened her sleepy eyes and looked at Gu Tingchen: "You've completed your official business? I prepared some food for you, but I didn't expect that after being processed for such a long time, the food would have become cold."
"It's alright. Let's have a warm meal. I happen to be hungry too. Come and eat with me." Gu Tingchen didn't want to waste Mu Lee's good intentions.
Mu Lee stood up and went into the kitchen to heat up all the food, and then brought it back to the table: "Quickly taste it, it doesn't suit your taste."
Gu Tingchen picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, "Very good." These three simple words were undoubtedly an affirmation of Mu Lee. Hearing the praise, Mu Lee was very happy, "If you think it's delicious, then eat more."
"Yes." After Gu Tingchen finished speaking, he looked at the woman in front of him while eating. Then, he seemed to have thought of something: "How are you doing with the matters at the company?"
"My first day at work only allowed me to sort out some of the past years' material, to let me know the company's history."
"What do you think?" Gu Tingchen asked.
