Chapter 8 A Clever and Good-hearted Woman

“What?” Mu Nuannuan was freaked out. “I can’t!”

She despised the man, but she valued life. Despite only being the product of Mu Liyan and Xiao Chuhe’s failure at planned parenthood, and despite Mu Wanqi bossing her around like a maid all those years, she still strived to live her life. She could not understand why “Moo Jiachen” treated life so lightly. And no, she would not follow his demand..

Mu Tingxiao corked an eyebrow. “So you prefer to be buried together with me?” His voice was still unconcerned, but it carried a sense of unquestionable determination.

Pale-faced, Mu Nuannuan had no choice but to prepare the things he had asked for. She thought that her life had already reached its lowest point ever since she married into the Moo Family, so it made no difference now. She even told herself in a joking manner that if “Moo Jiachen” died while she tried to remove the bullet, it was worth being buried with such a handsome man.

Mu Nuannuan tried to calm down as best as she could, but her hands were shivering uncontrollably.

While she cut open “Moo Jiachen’s” wound, her eyes were on him, keeping tabs on his condition. She discovered that aside from his pale face and the sweat on his forehead, he displayed no other reactions. Even his frown was very slight. If there was anything unusual about him, it would be his stare. The way his eyes looked made her uneasy.

“Stop staring at me,” Mu Nuannuan could not help saying.

There was one thing she may not have known. Moo Tingxiao was not as tough as she thought. The pain and bleeding had almost knocked him out, but when he looked at Mu Nuannuan, he seemed to feel better, and his pain lessened.

“Calm down, I won’t die. I trust you,” Moo Tingxiao said, his voice soft and unruffled.

Mu Nuannuan had never felt so trusted and important before. She gritted her teeth and focused on retrieving the bullet.

It felt like a lifetime, and by the time she removed the bullet, she was drenched in her own sweat. She washed her hands in the basin nearby and asked Moo Tingxiao, “How do you feel?”

Previously, she thought that “Moo Jiachen” was only a despicable rich kid, but after the “surgery”, she started to respect him. He did not even groan one bit during the entire process. She had only seen such mental toughness in movies, yet there was something mysterious about this man; he was so mysterious that it was a little frightening.

“Take a pen and write what I say down.” Moo Tingxiao gave her a list of items for treating wounds. His face was still pale, but his voice sounded authoritative.

Mu Nuannuan got the list and headed out at once. She was careful to buy them from several pharmacies.

When she returned, Moo Tingxiao noticed the different plastic bags in her hands. He arched the corner of his mouth in a smile. Mu Nuannuan was a clever and good-hearted woman, but he could see that she despised him, or rather, “Moo Jiachen”. She probably assumed that his foe was still pursuing him, so she bought the items from separate pharmacies to avoid suspicion.

Mu Nuannuan took out the medical kits and crouched down. “Let me help you. Tell me if it hurts.” Not a groan was heard during the entire process. Once it was over, she proceeded to get on her feet. While she was doing so, he suddenly pulled her toward him and kissed her.

“I told you, no glasses.”
