Mr. Mu Proposed Again Today

Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Playing Tricks as Partners_1 Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Playing Tricks as Partners_1 Mu Feng followed like the wind, and seeing this, Su Wanxia quickly chased after them, sparking a chaotic brawl.

“Ji Hua, you can’t pull on clothes.”

“Su Wanxia, you can’t hold the ball.”

“Ji Hua, that’s out of bounds.”

“Su Wanxia, you can’t kick with your foot.”

“Su Wanxia, you can’t slap the ball with both hands.”

“Ji Hua, you’ve dribbled twice already.”

In the half-hour period, Mu Feng lost count of how many times he had to call out fouls. These two weren’t here to play basketball—they were just being hooligans.

Though Mu Yingchen didn’t say a word, his restrained expression revealed he had had enough of Su Wanxia and Ji Hua.

Su Wanxia hummed to herself in her heart, “Die of anger, die of anger, arrogant man.”

Then, pretending to be utterly exhausted, she said, “Oh, I’m so tired, I need a break. You guys keep playing.”

“I’ll take a break too, I’m indeed quite tired,” Ji Hua was genuinely tired. He had been bossed around by Su Wanxia—a nonsensical direction of orders that almost left him collapsed from exhaustion.

The two sat down to rest, and Ji Hua whispered to Su Wanxia, “Look at my brother’s face; it’s like a multicolored palette, haha, it’s killing me! Who dares play basketball with him like this!”

“Su Wanxia, you really have some nerve, haha.”

Thinking back on Mu Yingchen’s expression just now, Su Wanxia burst into laughter. She hadn’t dared to laugh while playing basketball, but now that he wasn’t paying attention to them, she could enjoy a good laugh!

“Haha, ha…”

“Su Wanxia!”

Err, Su Wanxia snapped back to reality. Raising her eyes, she saw Mu Yingchen standing by her bed with a frowning, inquisitive look.

“What are you laughing about?” Mu Yingchen asked again.

“Uh… Nothing, just remembered a joke,” Su Wanxia said, touching her forehead guiltily. She had been so lost in her thoughts that she had laughed out loud, oh dear.

“Oh?” Mu Yingchen, noticing her guilty demeanor, didn’t quite buy her explanation.

“What joke is so funny? Share it with me, make me happy too,” he said.

Su Wanxia’s lips twitched, and inwardly she thought: If I told you, you probably wouldn’t find it funny at all.

“Hehe, it’s not that funny, really. Just lying here gets so boring, I was just amusing myself,” she said.

A hint of amusement flickered in Mu Yingchen’s deep eyes. For some reason, he always felt that her laughter had something to do with him. If thinking about him could make her that happy, he was more than willing for her to continue.

“Well, continue then,” Mu Yingchen said coolly before returning to his paperwork.

Su Wanxia was speechless. When had this man become so sly?

At about seven in the evening, Mu Feng, Ji Hua, Yan Yirou, and Kang Xiaolan suddenly arrived in the hospital room.

Startled, Su Wanxia became nervous. She really didn’t know how to explain her current situation to them.

Yan Yirou and Kang Xiaolan looked her over with anxious faces. Looking at her plastered left foot, Yan Yirou asked first, “Wanxia, what did you do? How did your foot get like this? Is it serious?”

“Right, no problems, right?” Kang Xiaolan also looked worried.

“Hehe, it’s nothing serious, just rest for a few days and I’ll be fine.”

“What actually happened?”

“I…” Su Wanxia opened her mouth but really didn’t know what to say. Making up a story felt quite unfair to them, but telling the truth, she just couldn’t bring herself to do it.

“I twisted my ankle coming down the stairs last night, it’s nothing serious,” Mu Yingchen suddenly replied.

Su Wanxia’s heart relaxed a bit.

“Oh my God, Wanxia, you really are something!” Yan Yirou and Kang Xiaolan both looked at her as if she were an idiot.

“Hehe, I’ll be more careful next time,” Su Wanxia’s ears turned red.

Yan Yirou and Kang Xiaolan didn’t notice anything amiss, but Mu Feng and Ji Hua weren’t so easily fooled. From the tone of their big brother’s voice on the phone last night to Wanxia’s surprise and momentary panic when she saw them today, things probably weren’t so simple.

But since their big brother said it was a twist from falling down the stairs, they decided to just go with that version of the story.

The visit from Yan Yirou and Kang Xiaolan meant Su Wanxia wasn’t so bored anymore. The group chatted and laughed until after nine o’clock and then everyone went their own ways.

Once everyone left, the room immediately returned to silence. The two of them stayed in the room; it felt as if they could hear each other’s breathing, which made Su Wanxia start to feel uncomfortable again. She looked at the handsome man lying on the sofa and whispered, “Don’t you have a rest room? Sleeping on the sofa must be uncomfortable…”

Last night, she had fallen asleep without knowing, so she didn’t realize where he had slept. But when she saw him lying on the sofa, her heart started to feel uneasy. Having to sleep in the same room with him, she was sure she’d be wide awake until dawn.

Mu Yingchen sat up and looked at the somewhat flustered person on the bed, “I feel more at ease sleeping here.”

“I’m fine,” she said, avoiding looking directly at him, her gaze wandering everywhere.

“What about going to the bathroom?”

“I can call a nurse,” she suggested.

“Can a nurse carry you?”

“I…” Su Wanxia was left speechless by Mu Yingchen’s direct questioning.

“What about now? Do you need to go?” Mu Yingchen’s lips curved in a beautiful smirk.

Actually, Su Wanxia really did need to use the bathroom. From before Yan Yirou and the others came until now, she hadn’t gone, and now that Mu Yingchen asked, she bit the bullet and nodded.

When his strong arms lifted her, her heart suddenly started to race, the mesmerizing masculine scent enveloping her, and her face involuntarily turned red. She purposefully kept her head down to avoid letting Mu Yingchen see her fluster.

When Mu Yingchen set her down on the floor, she silently heaved a sigh of relief. After using the bathroom, she carefully supported herself on the washstand, took a couple of steps, turned on the tap and washed her hands, then scooped up some water to splash her heated face.

Mu Yingchen heard the sound of water, clicked the door open, and his face darkened when he saw Su Wanxia standing by the washstand, “The doctor said you shouldn’t put pressure on your foot, why didn’t you call me?”

Su Wanxia was startled too, “I didn’t use my left foot, I just took a couple of steps.”

“That’s still dangerous, what if you fell?” Mu Yingchen was somewhat angry; this woman never seemed to give him a break.

Then, somewhat irritated, he took a towel and wiped her hands, gently dabbed her face, and then carried Su Wanxia back outside.

Perhaps because of the influence of the night’s events, as soon as Mu Yingchen lifted Su Wanxia, she couldn’t help feeling tense. His natural and elegant cologne mixed with the mature scent of a man made her feel shy, and her face started to burn again.

Mu Yingchen carried her to the bed but didn’t put her on it. Instead, he sat down on the edge and placed her on his lap.

At that moment, Su Wanxia’s heart leapt. She didn’t dare to breathe out, feeling as if she wasn’t sitting on his lap but on a scorching hot iron plate.
