Hanging up the phone, Situ Yunshu didn't think too much about it. She hadn't had a proper sleep in days, and a wave of exhaustion washed over her.
In no time, she fell asleep.
...
Chen Xun, setting down the phone, looked at the man leaning against the hospital bed.
"Second Young Master, Madam has hung up the phone." Chen Xun handed the phone back to him.
Mu Jingnan took the phone, rubbing it in his hand, his gaze vacant as he stared into space, as if trying to gently caress someone through the phone.
Footsteps became louder as they approached.
Mu Jingxi pushed the door open, "Second Brother, everything is ready."
"Mm."
"Are you really... not planning to tell Second Sister-in-law?"
Mu Jingnan, hearing this, just shook his head, bitterness spreading in his heart.
What would come of telling her?
Just to repeat the past, using gratitude to threaten her to stay by his side?
Having gone through this, he finally saw clearly who truly mattered to her.
