Chapter 45. Red Book (2)
“If you’re going to say it’s because of the South River project, then I’ll get someone else to be in charge. In this period, you’ll just be in charge of getting healed in Maple Residence. I’m approving your leave for the next month.”
Mu Yuchen frowned slightly and took the porridge from Ah Mo.
“I’m really fine. It’s no problem for me to be discharged immediately. I proposed the South River project. I want to finish what I started and do it well. It’s just a small injury anyway. You’ve been busy for the entire day too. Go home and rest earlier. I’ll be fine alone.”
When she found out that it was already late at night from the dark sky outside, Xi Xiaye naturally was not willing to delay him any further, especially because there was still a very important meeting tomorrow morning. As the newly appointed Chairman, he would, of course, be busy with official business.
When he heard this, Mu Yuchen’s handsome brows furrowed further. Before he could respond, Xi Xiaye had already reached over to take the porridge. “I’m fine alone. You go home and rest. Tomorrow morning’s meeting is going to be quite intense…”
Before Xi Xiaye could finish, she heard Mu Yuchen’s plain and helpless voice. “Xiaye, you seem to have forgotten the meaning of the document you signed earlier. If you still don’t understand the meaning of marriage, I don’t mind explaining it to you. Marriage is a responsibility and duty built between the two of us together. You are now my wife. Taking care of you is a responsibility and a duty that I can’t avoid. Can’t you be more self-aware? Can’t you demand just a little from me?”
Xi Xiaye, who was enduring her pain while holding the bowl, was startled to hear his stern reprimand. She then looked up at him. Seeing the vaguely afflicted gloominess in his eyes, she suddenly could not help but feel her heart soften.
Quite a while after that, she quietly lowered her gaze. Staying silent for a moment, she suddenly raised a hand and said very justly in her raspy voice, “Then, Mr. Mu, I have a demand! I demand that you don’t tear me away from my South River project. I’d like to demand being discharged from the hospital tomorrow!”
Once Xi Xiaye did this and indignantly said those justified words, Ah Mo, who was still shocked by Mu Yuchen’s words earlier, suddenly could not help but laugh out loud. Immediately, he was greeted by his Master’s dark cold gaze. Then, he cleared his throat and said, “Master, I’ll go ask the doctor about the Missus’ situation!”
