Chapter 203: Bei Shuo’s Speculation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Bei Shuo only knocked on Mu Ci’s study door when she saw Gu Ming rushing downstairs with her briefcase.
Mu Ci stood up from the wheelchair and spread his arms, waiting for Bei Shuo to throw herself at him.
Bei Shuo grinned and hugged him. “Why is Brother still in a wheelchair? Didn’t Gu Ming know that your leg is fine?”
Mu Ci hugged her and smiled. “Gu Ming reminded me that it’s better to restrain myself first so that there won’t be too many people knowing about it. If word gets out, it will cause unnecessary trouble.”
Bei Shuo played with the buttons on Mu Ci’s chest and nodded. “He’s quite smart.”
Mu Ci smiled and kissed her palm. “Of course. How can I use someone who isn’t smart?”
He pulled Bei Shuo to the sofa and sat down.
Bei Shuo leaned against him and rolled her eyes. “Then I’m also a shrewd person, right?”
Mu Ci tapped the tip of her nose and smiled without saying anything.
Bei Shuo liked the feeling of being with Mu Ci very much, but she didn’t know that this was a torment for Mu Ci. He calmed himself down and hugged the girl in his arms as he shook her gently. “You’re back so late today?”
Bei Shuo recalled the serious matter and told Mu Ci about Mu Yao’s condition.
Mu Ci frowned and did not speak.
Bei Shuo looked at his expression and didn’t know what he was thinking. She simply said her thoughts. “I saw from the medical records that Mu Yao is using western medicine now. There’s no Chinese medicine involved. I took her pulse and realized that this child’s health is indeed very poor. Her pulse is quite strange. As I don’t know her medical history, I don’t dare to come to a conclusion. Moreover, I keep feeling that something is wrong.”
“What’s strange?” Mu Ci tidied Bei Shuo’s hair and used his fingers to smoothen her furrowed brows.
“Mu Yao is very familiar with the hospital. She wanders around the hospital without anyone to accompany her or care about her. She should know that I’m a Chinese medicine practitioner, but she’s not eager to let me take her pulse. She’s not against it, either. However, she didn’t ask me for the results after I was done.”
“This child is in a vicious cycle. There’s no one around her. Is she really not going to care or is she especially at ease? I have an uncomfortable feeling. It’s as if they predicted that I would accompany her, but why? Why do they let me accompany her at ease?”
Mu Ci listened to Bei Shuo and didn’t say anything. He hummed softly and gestured for Bei Shuo to continue.
Bei Shuo deliberated over her words and said with difficulty, “Brother, do you think Mu Yao looks like a bait? To catch a silly fish like me? Then, do they want me to take the initiative to treat Mu Yao?”
Mu Ci’s fingers that were caressing the back of Bei Shuo’s hand paused.
Bei Shuo looked at Mu Ci with her big eyes and smiled in embarrassment. “Am I thinking too much?”
Mu Ci couldn’t help but kiss the corner of her lips. “You describe it well, silly fish.”
Bei Shuo was unhappy. She patted him and refused to let him play with her hands again. “I’m not stupid!”
Mu Ci was amused. “You said it yourself.”
Bei Shuo pulled Mu Ci’s hand over and bit the back of it gently. She said fiercely on purpose, “I’ll bite you!”
Mu Ci was overjoyed. He hugged Bei Shuo and kissed her fiercely. After listening to her nagging for so long, he had long coveted her little mouth. This silly girl didn’t sense anything at all. He was so angry.
From fierce to gentle, Bei Shuo gradually lost herself in Mu Ci’s kiss. Mu Ci’s breathing gradually became unstable. He sighed inwardly and tried his best to calm down before letting go of Bei Shuo.
Bei Shuo leaned into his arms and wrapped her arms around his waist. Neither of them spoke.
When Mu Ci completely calmed down, he realized that the little thing in his arms was breathing evenly and had already fallen asleep. He couldn’t help but laugh.
Mu Ci fell into deep thought as he looked at Bei Shuo’s exquisite and fair face.
He had taken Bei Shuo’s every word to heart. He believed in Bei Shuo as if he believed in himself.
Bei Shuo was not contaminated by the mortal world. She was very sensitive to people and was not affected by emotions. This was very rare.
Then, did Mu Yao really get close to Bei Shuo on purpose and use Bei Shuo’s curiosity to treat her? Why? They could use any doctor in the hospital with a word. Why did they have to use such a method to scheme against Bei Shuo?
Scheme?
As soon as this word entered his mind, Mu Ci instinctively became vigilant.
They also wanted to scheme against Bei Shuo? What was there about Bei Shuo that was worthy of their schemes? His current condition was a secret to the public, so no one knew about Bei Shuo’s medical skills—
What was wrong?
