The girl's pure white nightgown puffed out in the clear water, revealing her curvaceous figure.

  Her long black hair was floating gently in the water.

  Mo Chen's eyes narrowed and he reached out to pull her out of the water, carrying her back to the bed in large strides.

  "Ask Dr. Qin to come over."

  After hanging up the internal phone call, he sat on the edge of the bed, holding a towel in his hand, carefully wiping away the water droplets from her face.

  This woman, even if she were exhausted to the point of collapse, would not be willing to confide in him about her recent experiences.

  She said she wanted to spend her whole life with him, but in fact, she had never considered him as her husband.

  Not even friends.

  In her eyes, he was just an employer, just a so-called "benefactor".

  How ridiculous.

  He had acknowledged her as his wife, but she had never truly regarded him as a husband.

  Before her eyes appeared that night in the Mo family's old mansion backyard, she blinked those big eyes looking at him.

  "From now on, I'll be your family and I'll stay with you."

  The girl's clear voice still echoed in her ears.

  He stroked her shiny lips, helplessly raised an eyebrow, "I've never considered you a burden."

  "And you, have you considered me a burden?"

  The girl in a coma pouted her mouth and silently clasped her hands together.

  Mo Xun watched for a long time before confirming that this was indeed the action of washing clothes.

  Thinking of her situation in the sanatorium that afternoon, a hint of cunning flashed across the man's deep eyes.

  Half an hour later, Dr. Qin rushed in with Manager Guan and arrived at the bedroom.

  Looking at the man sitting next to Su Xiao'ning, Dr. Qin chuckled and sat down beside Mo Chenyuan, "Is this your current wife?"

  Mo Chen nodded slightly.

  The doctor in a white coat lifted Su Xiaoning's wrist to take her pulse, smiling faintly, "Indeed, she looks harmless, no wonder your second uncle didn't make a move on her."

  Mo Chenyu gazed out at the starry sky outside the window, a hint of cold smile floating on his lips. "They didn't lay a hand on her, and it has nothing to do with her looks."

  "Of course I know it has nothing to do with appearance."

  Qin Dynasty rolled her eyes, "I just wanted to express the fact that you're a lovely little wife, I really don't know how your emotional intelligence survived this long."

  Mo Chenyu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I think I'm quite emotionally intelligent."

  "Yes, after all these years, I'm the only one left as a friend."

  He put down Su Xiaoqing's wrist and turned to look at Mo Chenyu seriously, "She's not in any serious trouble, probably just too tired lately and didn't rest well."

  He said with a sly glance at Mo Chenyu, "It's only been a few days since you got married, and you've already exhausted him to this extent?"

  The blue veins on his forehead jumped as he said, "I didn't touch her, she was blackmailed and went out to work to earn money, that's why she's so tired."

  "It's interesting."

  After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Qin turned to Su Xiaoqing with a glance, his eyes showing a hint of appreciation, "Guarding this gold mountain, not only does she not ask you for money, but also secretly goes out to work, this girl is really rare."

  He turned his head and gave Mo Qing a cold glance, "Since you know she's exhausted like this, why not let her rest well? Why call me over so late?"

  "By the way, it's time for me to announce my physical condition to the outside world."

  "Come again."

  He stretched out his hand and gently smoothed Su Xiao Ning's hair at her temples, "Is there any way to make her not do this and exhaust herself?"

  Qin was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "So, you can't handle your little wife, that's why you called me?"

  The man slightly furrowed his brow, "Alright."

  He tapped his fingers on the bedside and Qin Zhuo's lips curled up slightly, "Hand it over."

  "But is there a place in your home where I can stay for the night? She's so tired, you should at least let her rest for tonight?"

  Mo Chen nodded.

  Originally, he intended not to let her rest, forcing her to beg him for mercy and then tell him all about what had happened to her.

  He thought that by doing so, she would develop a habit of remembering and sharing with him whenever something happened.

  But he didn't expect that this little woman's stubbornness and tenacity would exceed his imagination.

  She would rather exhaust herself to the point of collapse than complain and beg him for mercy.

  Obviously such a soft and monotonous little guy, yet stubbornly leaving people helpless.

  "This is my first time staying overnight at your place, isn't it? How unusual."

  Qin Chaowu smiled lightly and put his hand on Mo Chenyu's shoulder, "Indeed, after getting married, you've become more human."

  After finishing speaking, he felt what he said was wrong again.

  "But if you really have a conscience, how could you allow your own wife to faint from exhaustion in front of you?"

  Mo Chen didn't bother arguing with him, he moved his hand away, turned around and walked out the door. "Whatever you say is fine."

  Looking at the tall and upright back of the man, Qin Zhaomu furrowed his brow, subconsciously glanced at Su Xiaoning who was sleeping on the bed, and let out a long sigh. "Chen Yu, you wouldn't have really taken a liking to this little girl, would you?"

  Mo's footsteps came to an abrupt halt, his tall figure stretched out by the corridor's crystal lamps. "I care about my wife, is there a problem with that?"

  Qin Chen furrowed his brow, "But Shen Yu, you should know what you'll be facing from now on."

  "The three fiancées before you died under what circumstances, I think you're clearer about that than I am."

  "Although she escaped this time, she will inevitably become a stumbling block for you in the future."

  Mo Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, "Continue."

  Even he himself is no longer clear what kind of feelings he has for Su Xiao Ning now.

  "It's too early to say these things now."

  ——————

  The scorching sunlight at noon poured in through the window and shone on the girl's sleeping face.

  Su Xiaoning was awakened by the scorching sun.

  When she woke up, she stretched her waist habitually.

  The sunlight in the room was too piercing, and she had just opened her eyes when she was pierced and unconsciously closed them again.

  Why is the sun so big and shining so early in the morning?

  She furrowed her brow, thought for a moment and suddenly felt something was off. She picked up her phone to take a look, only to find it was already past 10 o'clock!

  She actually slept until after 10 o'clock!

  Su Xiao Ning took out her phone and glanced at the date, suddenly feeling a darkness in front of her eyes.

  Today is Friday, this afternoon there is a calculus class taught by Teacher Shi, and also a university physics lesson that she has the most difficulty understanding.

  It's already past 10 o'clock, the advanced math class is over, and the university physics class has started.

  She let out a mournful cry and then hastily got out of bed to wash up.

  Memories flashed back to last night...

  If I'm not mistaken, Mo Chen's mood seemed off last night, repeatedly asking her to bathe him, and she obediently bathed him again and again...

  She doesn't remember anything that happened afterwards.

  Standing in front of the mirror, Su Xiaoning looked at her haggard self in the mirror and let out a faint sigh. Indeed, after entering university, she had become spoiled.

  Before she was in the countryside, she had done farm work that was more tiring than these few days, and at that time she hadn't been so haggard.

  She must have been too tired last night and fell asleep while giving Mo Chenyu a bath.

  Although she didn't know what happened afterwards, she could more or less guess eight or nine out of ten.

  Perhaps Mo Chenyuan thought she was too tired and didn't wake her up, so he had the household servants move her to the bed?

  As she thought of this, a faint smile rose to the girl's lips.

  Actually, her husband is quite good to her.
