Gu Tingchen allowed the woman to lie on his shoulder and cry, but did not ask for any reason. He would not ask about things she did not want to say, but he would investigate in private.
Yan Shu drove the car silently in front, and the only sound left in the car was Mu Lee's soft crying voice.
After an unknown period of time, perhaps because she was already tired from crying, Mu Lee actually fell asleep on Gu Tingchen's shoulder.
Gu Tingchen held onto the woman's shoulders with one hand, allowing her to lean on his body so that he could sleep more comfortably.
After that, Gu Tingchen used his right hand to take out his cell phone and dialed Sister Liu's number.
"Young Master, I was just about to call you. The Madam hasn't come back yet and has already been out for the whole afternoon." After the Sister Liu connected, an anxious voice immediately came out.
Gu Tingchen glanced at the woman who was sleeping soundly on his body, and said with an ice-cold tone: "She is with me."
"Really? "Then I'm relieved." Sister Liu heaved a sigh of relief. She had thought that something had happened and was in a rush to leave.
"What happened to her today?" His tone was as cold as ever.
"Young Mistress only left after receiving a call. I heard young mistress call me, and I think she mentioned the name Mu Yan. I think it was young madam's mother's older cousin who asked her to go out."
Since the Sister Liu told Gu Tingchen everything she knew, Gu Tingchen could probably guess what happened to this woman.
"Got it." Gu Tingchen then hung up the phone.
The person in his embrace was still sleeping soundly. His eyes were deep as he looked at Yan Shu who was driving the car, "When will Mu Yu return?"
"He should be back tonight." Yan Shu thought for a while, "The project that Mu Yu was discussing abroad has already been completed, do we need to send someone to interact with him?"
"I won't teach my father, but I will find time to have a good chat with Mu Yu." Although Gu Tingchen's tone was cold, his voice was soft because she was afraid that the woman beside his would fall asleep.
Mu Lee was completely unaware, as she lightly breathed, and the corners of her eyes still had traces of tears.
Her quiet appearance made Gu Tingchen's heart soften as well. As he quietly looked at her small face, her long and narrow eyelashes were like a fan, covering her face in a small shadow.
She was fast asleep, but her hands were still tightly grasping the clothes in front of her. It could be seen that even in her dreams, she did not feel much sense of security.
"Young Master, the makeup artist has already arrived at the villa. Let's take a closer look. Are we still going to the party today?"
Yan Shu carefully reminded his, today's party was very important, many people would attend and do their best for the sake of charity. They would also be able to accumulate some connections and reputation for themselves, so this opportunity should not be wasted so easily.
Gu Tingchen lowered his head to look at Mu Lee, and said softly, "If she wakes up, then come with me. If she doesn't, then I will go myself."
Originally, he was prepared to bring her to see a pleasant surprise, but he didn't expect that he would run into her half-way through the journey and almost give her a fright.
When the car stopped in front of the villa, Yan Shu got off the car and reminded them, "You should wake up the young madam." Neither of them could get out of the car while they were asleep.
However, Gu Tingchen did not wake her up. He gently carried her to the door and moved his to the side. Yan Shu brought out a wheelchair.
When Sister Liu came out and saw Mu Lee and Gu Tingchen together, he heaved a sigh of relief."Young Master, dinner is already prepared, look ..."
"Put it away first. When she wakes up, we'll call her downstairs to eat dinner."
Returning to the bedroom, Gu Tingchen carefully placed Mu Lee on the bed. Seeing that she was still grabbing onto her clothes, she could only take off his jacket and lightly put it on Mu Lee's body.
Sighing, she was about to turn and walk out when she saw Mu Lee opening her eyes.
"Am I asleep?" Mu Lee's voice was a little hoarse, most likely because he had cried too loudly in the carriage just now, and had fallen asleep again.
"Go back to sleep after you're tired. Go downstairs to eat after you wake up." Gu Tingchen lightly patted Mu Lee's shoulder, intending to let her continue sleeping.
"I'm not going to sleep." Mu Lee shook her head and sat up from the bed, "You haven't eaten either, right? I've troubled you again today."
Mu Lee had an apologetic expression on her face, she also didn't expect that she would lose control of her emotions, if possible, she hoped that Gu Tingchen wouldn't see this kind of predicament.
"What nonsense are you saying? We are husband and wife."
Gu Tingchen had no concept of family in the past, so even towards the Gu Family, he could only fight and scheme, and there was never any feeling of kinship.
Couples, families, it was only after they truly understood the meaning of these words that they understood what sort of warmth it was.
Mu Lee pushed Gu Tingchen downstairs. Sister Liu had already started heating up her food.
"Young Madam, you're awake?"
"Yes."
She didn't say much, but Sister Liu could tell that her voice was hoarse. She looked inside the fridge and said, "Young Mistress, I'll make you a sweet and pear, it's good for your throat."
"Thank you, Sister Liu."
Sitting across the table, Mu Lee hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell Gu Tingchen about the matter.
"The card you gave me last time. I took it to the hospital." He carefully looked at Gu Tingchen's face, as if he was afraid that Gu Tingchen would be angry, "I was afraid that mother's medical fees would be stopped by the Mu Family again, so, I used that card to pay for the medical fees."
Gu Tingchen was indeed unconcerned: "It's good that you like it."
Mu Lee was startled, she had thought that Gu Tingchen would say something, but she did not expect him to have such a reaction.
"Gu Tingchen..."
"Hmm?" He looked up, and his smile was as warm as jade.
"You ... Why are you being so nice to me? "
Gu Tingchen suddenly laughed, and looked at her gently, "Fool, because you're my wife."
You are my wife, if I don't treat you well, who else can I treat?
