Mr. Mu Proposed Again Today

Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Mu Yingchen, I’m Better Now!_1 Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Mu Yingchen, I’m Better Now!_1 Zhuo Ronghao burst into tears upon hearing Mu Yingchen’s words, crying out, “No, please no, Young Master Mu, I was wrong, I really was, have mercy… have mercy on me!”

Mu Yingchen remained unmoved, regarding him coldly. A black-clad bodyguard stepped forward, brandishing an iron rod about two meters long, and slowly approached Zhuo Ronghao.

Scared out of his wits, Zhuo Ronghao nearly wet himself, scuttling backward in terror on the ground.

“Ah!” A piercing scream suddenly echoed through the entire basement, making Liao Yonglin’s heart shudder with fear.

“Ah! My leg, my leg, it hurts so much…” Zhuo Ronghao clutched his right leg, rolling around on the floor in agony.

A trace of ferocity flashed in Mu Yingchen’s eyes, “Take him to the Zhuo Family and tell Zhuo Rongxuan to keep an eye on his useless brother. Don’t let him appear anywhere I might see him… Otherwise, it won’t be as simple as a disabled leg!!”

“Yes,” the bodyguard replied, and then dragged the screaming Zhuo Ronghao out.

Once Zhuo Ronghao was gone, the room returned to its deathly silence. Liao Yonglin was so frightened he wet his pants, the dampness spreading beneath him.

Mu Yingchen saw this and frowned in disgust. Although the Liao Family was also a business partner of the Mu Family, they were mere bit players in his eyes.

As for Zhuo Ronghao, he did show some mercy, considering he and his brother Zhuo Rongxuan could be counted as casual friends. But all this was based on the condition that Su Wanxia was not seriously harmed.

“Disable one of his hands and one leg, and tell the Liao Family not to let him appear in C City again.”

Liao Yonglin was completely dumbfounded, crawling frantically towards Mu Yingchen, stuttering non-stop as he pleaded for mercy, “Young Master Mu, you are a magnanimous person, please spare me. I’ll make myself scarce, I will definitely not show up in C City again, please have mercy on me!”

Mu Yingchen didn’t even glance at him as he turned and walked toward the door, the heartbreaking screams trailing behind him.

Just as he got into the car and was about to head to the hospital, his phone vibrated again. After he had sent Su Wanxia to the hospital, he had set it to silent mode.

“Hello.”

“Big Brother, where have you been? You weren’t answering calls, and Wanxia’s phone is off too. Are you with her?” Ji Hua’s anxious voice came through.

Massaging his temples, Mu Yingchen spoke indifferently, “You guys go back first. She’s with me, don’t worry about us.”

“Oh, alright then!”

After hanging up, Mu Yingchen started the car and drove towards the hospital.

The two bodyguards at the entrance saluted respectfully when they saw Mu Yingchen. He slowly opened the door, treading lightly as he approached the bedside. The person on the bed was still deeply asleep, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed.

She must be in a lot of pain, Mu Yingchen thought. His long fingers gently smoothed out the wrinkles on her brow before he settled down slowly on the spacious sofa.

Taking a deep breath, he finally closed his eyes. Being in the same space as her, he felt even the air become exceptionally comforting.

The next morning, it was the pain that woke up Su Wanxia. Her whole body felt as if it had been run over, deeply sore and painful.

She slowly opened her eyes. The hospital room was very quiet. Enduring the pain, she sat up and looked around, but did not see him, feeling a slight sense of loss.

He must be busy with work, surely having gone to the company to deal with business matters.

With that thought, she slowly lay back down in bed. Just then, the door opened. She turned her head to look.

Mu Yingchen, carrying breakfast, walked in from outside. Su Wanxia felt a slight surprise, then gently arched an eyebrow.

Dressed in a white casual outfit today, he exuded an elegant charm that softened the severe lines of his face, a side of Mu Yingchen she hadn’t seen since her return, yet resembled someone from her memories.

“Come, have some breakfast,” Mu Yingchen said, adjusting Su Wanxia’s bed, pulling over a chair, and sitting beside her.

“Don’t you have to go to the company today?” Su Wanxia asked softly.

“No need, Mu Feng and Ji Hua will handle the company matters,” said Mu Yingchen as he arranged the breakfast items, picked up a bowl of porridge, and started to spoon-feed Su Wanxia.

“I can do it myself,”
“You’re a patient now,”
“But it’s my foot that’s hurt, not my hand!”

Mu Yingchen gave Su Wanxia a cold stare and then extended the spoon towards her mouth.

Su Wanxia felt a bit uneasy and opened her mouth slowly, seeing that he was angry.

Throughout the meal, Mu Yingchen was thoroughly hands-on, and Su Wanxia scarcely saw even a nurse.

“Um… Could you call a nurse in?” she asked the man sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper with some embarrassment.

Mu Yingchen looked up, his gaze inquiring.

“Um, I mean, I need to use the restroom!” It was always a bit embarrassing to mention such things in front of him.

A glint of amusement flashed in Mu Yingchen’s eyes as he stood up and approached the bed. He lifted the blanket off Su Wanxia and scooped her into his arms.

Su Wanxia was startled, “Hey, what are you doing? I need to go to the bathroom!”

“Your foot is inconvenient; I’ll carry you to the bathroom,” Su Wanxia rolled her eyes. That was why she had asked for a nurse in the first place.

“You could just let a nurse help me there,” Su Wanxia said in a bit of a panic.

“The doctor said you’re not to set foot on the ground for a week,” Mu Yingchen stated matter-of-factly.

The corners of Su Wanxia’s mouth twitched. So he meant she would need to be carried to the bathroom by him for an entire week? Oh my, was that really okay?

Mu Yingchen carried Su Wanxia directly to the bathroom and then carefully placed her down, since her left foot was in a plaster cast and somewhat unstable.

Not feeling reassured, Mu Yingchen offered, “Do you need help?”

Su Wanxia was sweating bullets. She really wanted to say, “President Mu, your dignity has dropped all over the floor, do you realize that?”

But what came out was, “No need, you can go out!” If you don’t go out, are you planning to watch me use the bathroom?

Mu Yingchen saw her awkwardness, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly, then he walked out and kindly closed the door behind him.

Knowing that Mu Yingchen was right outside made even going to the bathroom a nervous affair for her.

She intended to walk to the door to open it herself, but her left foot was too weak to support her. Su Wanxia rubbed her forehead in frustration and called out hesitantly to Mu Yingchen outside, “Um… I’m done!”

But there was no response.

Thinking her voice was too soft and Mu Yingchen hadn’t heard, she raised her voice, “I’m done!”

Still, there was no response.

Su Wanxia furrowed her brow in confusion, added a title and said again, “President Mu! I’m done,”
Still no response. Su Wanxia moved her right foot forward—a sharp pain surged through her left foot instantly.

What was Mu Yingchen doing? Clearly knowing she was in the bathroom and yet there was no sign of him, a trace of resentment unconsciously rose within her.

She raised her voice again and called out: “Mu Yingchen! I’m done!”

Click—the door suddenly opened—
