Chapter 1295: Proposal 17
When Mu Tiantian woke up, her eyes snapped open almost instantly.
A pair of large, dark eyes, staring wide.
After opening them, she didn’t dare to close them again, fearing that as soon as she did, the pristine white ceiling would turn back into the gray sky of her dream.
"Awake?"
A deep, sultry voice, slightly hoarse, sounded beside her.
Tilting her head slightly, Mu Tiantian saw the handsome face of Shen Tiancheng, with his uniquely delicate features, sitting at the bedside, his deep eyes fixed on her.
Mu Tiantian opened her mouth, wanting to speak.
As she opened her mouth, the muscles on her face twitched violently due to the pain in her tongue.
Shen Tiancheng watched her and sneered, "Now you feel the pain? Wasn’t so tough when you bit it?"
Mu Tiantian glared at Shen Tiancheng resentfully, enduring the pain on the tip of her tongue, her eyes flickering unsteadily.
She tried to sit up, but still lacked strength.
There was a sensation of her body not being her own, as whether she wanted to reach out or lift a leg, her body was disobedient.
"You’ve been asleep for more than half a month, you need to rest well and get some nutrition!"
Mu Tiantian: "..."
More than half a month?
How could that be?
It’s just a dream, how could it make her sleep for more than half a month?
What Mu Tiantian couldn’t understand even more was why, when she woke up, was she in a hospital room, and the person beside her wasn’t Bai Chenyao, but Shen Tiancheng.
"Ah..."
"You’re already divorced, does he care whether you live or die?"
Mu Tiantian: "..."
Mu Tiantian’s eyes were sharp as she stared at Shen Tiancheng, completely disbelieving anything he said.
Looking at the defiant and cold-eyed Mu Tiantian, Shen Tiancheng sneered again.
"Do you think I’d lie about something like this? Besides... Xia Country doesn’t allow one woman to marry two men, unless you want to challenge the laws of Xia Country?"
Mu Tiantian: "..."
She no longer knew what Shen Tiancheng was even talking about!
"You... go!"
Mu Tiantian’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz, hardly audible unless you were in the room with her and Shen Tiancheng, and it was extremely quiet.
Shen Tiancheng smiled, his smile full of allure.
"Naturally I’ll go, but only after you’re well, and we can go home together!"
Mu Tiantian: "..."
Staring angrily at Shen Tiancheng, Mu Tiantian was unable to speak due to the pain from the wound on her tongue.
But those cold and sharp eyes were telling everything.
Shen Tiancheng looked at her, his long, phoenix eyes squinting gently, propping his chin with one hand while his other hand lay lazily yet dominantly on the bed, holding Tian Tian’s hand.
"Little Sweetheart, everything I said in the dream was true!"
"Including Bai Chenyao divorcing you, and what I said about wanting to marry you!"
Mu Tiantian only felt a tightness in her throat, wanting to curse Shen Tiancheng’s shamelessness, but the pain in her tongue caused her already pale face to turn ghostly white.
"If you don’t believe it, you can listen to this!"
With that, Shen Tiancheng took a voice recorder out from his pocket and held it in front of Mu Tiantian.
Mu Tiantian didn’t even acknowledge it, even turning her head away directly.
Having taken it out, Shen Tiancheng wasn’t going to let Mu Tiantian not listen to it.
With a press of a button, the conversation from that night in a private room at the Night Bar between him and Bai Chenyao played out in the hospital room.
"Why don’t you just tell me, Mr. Bai, did you marry Mu Tiantian because you’ve developed feelings for her, or... because of revenge?"
"Don’t rush to answer, think it through clearly, I, unlike others, am rich in money and time!"
"Revenge!"
Mu Tiantian: "..."
