Chapter 69.1 Lu Fei, hurry up and come treat your sister-in-law!

At the same time.

On the west bank of Shanghai.

Inside the Mu family villa,

Mu Changye walked down from the second floor with a worried expression on his face.

Since the afternoon, Mu Ruoxue hadn’t come downstairs.

She hadn’t even eaten dinner.

No matter how much he tried to persuade her, it had no effect.

He didn’t know what was wrong with this child, she suddenly became like this.

Sighing, Mu Changye also felt a headache as he descended the stairs.

Today, Mu Changye’s heart was truly broken because of Mu Ruoxue’s situation.

As he entered the living room, he saw Liu Mengxiang preparing to leave.

Mu Changye walked up to her, feeling a sense of guilt on his face.

In order to comfort Mu Ruoxue, he had been on the second floor for over two hours, neglecting Liu Mengxiang during that time, who had been waiting in the living room.

With this in mind, Mu Changye approached, wanting to lend a hand to Liu Mengxiang.

But as Liu Mengxiang saw him approaching, a hint of resistance flickered in her beautiful eyes.

Before Mu Changye could even touch Liu Mengxiang’s arm, she quickly evaded his touch.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Seeing Liu Mengxiang’s unusual behavior, Mu Changye was puzzled and asked.

“I’ve been feeling some discomfort in my chest recently, and I don’t know why!”

“Discomfort in your chest?”

Mu Changye was also puzzled by Liu Mengxiang’s words. Why would she suddenly feel discomfort in her chest?

He couldn’t understand it either.

“Yeah, it has been going on for a while now. I feel tightness and shortness of breath. I went to the hospital for a check-up, but it didn’t help much. These symptoms come and go.”

Liu Mengxiang nodded and looked at Mu Changye as she spoke.

Hearing her words, Mu Changye’s eyes showed a puzzled expression.

“Why didn’t you tell Lu Fei about this before?”

Upon hearing Mu Changye’s question, Liu Mengxiang’s eyes welled up with a sense of grievance as she replied, “How would I know if it’s a disease? I didn’t want to bother Lu Fei with it.”

Liu Mengxiang’s vulnerable appearance easily triggered Mu Changye’s protective instincts, instantly dispelling his doubts. He worriedly said, “No, this is not a small matter. I remember that Lu Fei is skilled in medicine. I will ask him to come and examine you tomorrow.”

Upon hearing Mu Changye’s words, a fleeting glint of light flashed in Liu Mengxiang’s eyes, hidden deep within her gaze.

“Well then, I’ll leave for now, and I’ll come early tomorrow!”

Liu Mengxiang picked up her bag, ready to leave.

Seeing her preparing to depart, Mu Changye’s concern in his eyes remained unwavering.

“Mengxiang, wait!”

Hearing Mu Changye’s words, Liu Mengxiang suddenly stopped in her tracks. She looked at him with confusion, not knowing why he called her back.

“If you’re feeling unwell, don’t exhaust yourself running around like this. Just stay here and rest for now!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Mengxiang hesitated for a moment but ultimately refused.

“It’s not a good idea. If Ruoxue finds out, she’ll start causing trouble for you again. I don’t want to see you exhausted and stressed!”

Hearing Liu Mengxiang’s considerate words, Mu Changye looked up at the closed bedroom door, clenched his teeth, and then spoke.

“It’s alright, just rest for one night. You can go to the small bedroom. The housekeeper has prepared it for you. Get some sleep!”

Hearing Mu Changye’s words, Liu Mengxiang turned her gaze toward the direction of the small bedroom where she had spent the afternoon alone with Lu Fei. Her beautiful eyes flickered slightly.

Without further resistance, she revealed a charming smile and agreed.

…

The night passed, and Lu Fei woke up in his upscale apartment.

He saw that Shi Qiuyun was already up, exercising her body in the living room.

After Lu Fei finished washing up, not long after, his phone in his pocket rang.

Lu Fei took out his phone and saw a familiar number.

Isn’t this Mu Changye’s private number?

Why would Mu Changye be calling him?

Didn’t he say to take a two-day break and rest? Why is he calling again?

With curiosity, Lu Fei answered the call.

Mu Changye’s voice came through from the other end.

“Lu Fei, are you awake?”

“Just woke up. Is there something the Patriarch needs?”

Lu Fei responded calmly.

At this point, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Mu Changye’s slightly embarrassed voice.

“Sigh, I just told you yesterday to relax and take a two-day break. But last night, your sister-in-law felt discomfort in her chest, so I thought of having you come over and take a look.”

“It just so happens that you can discuss your wedding with Jiang Wenying while you’re here.”

Hearing this, Lu Fei finally understood. The main point was not about discussing the wedding.

The main point was that Liu Mengxiang was feeling discomfort in her chest and he had to come to see her.

But why would she come to me if she’s feeling discomfort in her chest?

This might be another one of Liu Mengxiang’s crazy schemes.

However, could he refuse?

It was difficult to refuse!

Lu Fei sighed inwardly,

He could only make another trip to Mu’s house and see what tricks this crazy woman had up her sleeve!

Lu Fei responded,

“Alright, Patriarch, I’ll come over right away!”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Lu Fei then turned his gaze to Shi Qiuyun, who was still exercising in the living room.

“Can you cook?”

Upon hearing Lu Fei’s question, Shi Qiuyun stopped her movements and ran over.

“I can, good brother! I’m really good at cooking. I used to cook when we were on the mountain!”

Upon hearing Shi Qiuyun’s words, Lu Fei nodded lightly and said,

“There are ingredients in the kitchen. You can cook for yourself. As for the phone, I’ll buy one for you when I come back.”

“Except for my room, you can use everything else here, understood?”

As Lu Fei seemed to be preparing to leave, Shi Qiuyun asked with some confusion,

“Good brother, aren’t you coming back to eat my food?”

Lu Fei paused for a moment and then said,

“I might be busy for a while. You can go ahead and eat without waiting for me.”

After saying that, as Lu Fei was about to leave, he suddenly realized something and quickly instructed Shi Qiuyun,

“Don’t wander around aimlessly. It wouldn’t be good if someone tricks you and takes you away. I’ll have to go find you again. Got it?”

Lu Fei was worried that if Shi Qiuyun went out, there would be a risk of her being deceived. 

If due to the protagonist’s halo, Lin Ran happened to encounter Shi Qiuyun again, it wouldn’t be good.

Upon hearing Lu Fei’s words, Shi Qiuyun thought that Lu Fei was worried about her and felt a warm feeling in her heart.

She obediently nodded and assured him,

“Don’t worry, good brother. I won’t wander around. I’ll stay here!”

As Shi Qiuyun extended her three slender and fair fingers, as if making a solemn vow, a hint of a smile flashed across Lu Fei’s lips.

“No need to be so nervous. Rest here for a day first. If you feel bored, I’ll take you out later and show you around, so you can get familiar with the surroundings.”

“That way, you won’t get lost.”

Shi Qiuyun, blushing slightly, picked up on the playful tone in Lu Fei’s words and retorted,

“No way! I have a good memory for directions, I won’t get lost!”

“But you still shouldn’t wander around randomly, I would be worried!”

Upon hearing Lu Fei’s words, Shi Qiuyun nodded and reassured him once again,

“Don’t worry, good brother. I’ll listen to you!”

Seeing Shi Qiuyun’s sincere expression, Lu Fei also nodded and left with a sense of relief.

He got into his car and set off towards Mu’s villa.

After over half an hour, the familiar Bentley appeared at the gate of Mu’s villa.

He got out of the car.

Uncle Fu was waiting at the entrance.

When he saw Lu Fei’s figure, he greeted him with a smile.

“Lu Fei, you’re here!”

Lu Fei nodded and followed behind Uncle Fu.

“The master has been waiting for you for a while!”

“Is that so? I’ll make sure to come earlier next time!”

Lu Fei replied.

As they entered Mu’s villa and reached the living room, they saw Mu Changye sitting on the sofa with a half-empty teacup on the table.

“Lu Fei, you’re here!”

Mu Changye greeted with a worried expression on his face.

Seeing Mu Changye’s troubled look, Lu Fei felt puzzled.

He had already arrived, so why did Mu Changye still look so worried?

Could it be that in such a short time, something had happened to Liu Mengxiang?

But that shouldn’t be the case!

He remembered that when he left yesterday, Liu Mengxiang didn’t seem to have any health problems at all!

“What’s wrong, Patriarch?” Lu Fei asked.

Upon hearing Lu Fei’s question, Mu Changye seemed to have found someone to confide in and sighed heavily, his voice heavy with despair.

“It’s all because of that girl, Mu Ruoxue!”

Hearing Mu Changye’s slightly gloomy voice, Lu Fei’s heart skipped a beat.

No way!

Could it be that Mu Ruoxue, that little devil, betrayed him and revealed the incident of him… treating her feet?

That shouldn’t be the case!

Although Mu Ruoxue could be a bit unreasonable at times, she wasn’t that brainless!

Otherwise, how could she be called the “Green Tea Scheming Loli”?

Lu Fei took a deep breath and nervously looked at Mu Changye, asking, “What happened to Mu Ruoxue?”

Mu Changye glanced at Lu Fei and felt that he wasn’t an outsider, so he began to speak, “When she just came back yesterday, everything seemed fine. But suddenly, she locked herself in her room and refused to come out. I called her from outside the door for a long time, but she didn’t respond.”

“Until now, she still hasn’t come out, hasn’t eaten anything, and there’s been no movement.”

Hearing this, Lu Fei felt slightly relieved. This seemed to be Mu Ruoxue’s normal behavior.

Once she finished her little act, things would be back to normal.

Lu Fei decided not to interfere unnecessarily. If Mu Ruoxue wanted to act, then let her act.

“Um… Master, what about sister-in-law?” 

Lu Fei made up his mind to see what tricks that crazy woman, Liu Mengxiang, wanted to play. After resolving the situation, he would leave immediately.

This family was too crazy, and Lu Fei felt like he couldn’t handle it!

“Your sister-in-law hasn’t woken up yet…”

“Oh, by the way, Mu Ruoxue has been getting close to you recently. Can you go up and talk to her?”

“Try to persuade her to come down.”
