The man gently caressed the tender cheeks that he hadn't seen for a few days with his warm big palm. A faint smile appeared on his thin and beautiful lips. He wanted to embrace the little girl and see her reddened eyes as he kissed the center of her brows.
But now, no. She needed rest. He had only guarded her for two hours. He would leave at dawn.
"Hubby …"
The low mumble, the familiar word, the sound that made him think about it all night.
It was unknown when Fu Xixi had already opened his eyes, but he did not blink as he looked at the man's face in front of him.
She smelled an extremely familiar scent that made her want to fall in love. He woke up, but didn't open his eyes. He was afraid that if he opened his eyes, he would be gone.
But now that he was about to leave, she was afraid that if she didn't even glance at him, she would feel very uncomfortable.
A hint of warmth shot out from Tang Mufan's deep eyes. Her bony fingers pressed against the bridge of her nose as she spoke in a low and deep voice — —
"A little liar who likes to pretend to be asleep."
"Hehehe …" She just smirked and did not refute.
She clasped his large palm with her small hand, her fingers entwined with his. This time, he did not loosen his grip, but tightened his grip instead.
She licked her lips in satisfaction. Originally, she had a lot of things she wanted to say to him, but now she couldn't say anything. Isn't it good to just stay in peace like this?
"Oh right, when are we going to buy the ring? Don't tell me you don't want to buy me any more rings. "
She pursed her lips, unhappy.
"I know, all of you men feel that marrying a wife is expensive, but I don't ask for expensive ones. I can buy a fake one on the side of the road!"
If she could, she wished she could go with him to the roadside stall and buy a toy ring after she had changed her clothes, so that her ring finger would have an owner.
In the following week, Fu Xixi obediently accepted her mother's meticulous care. Until the day Tang Mufan came out from the laboratory and analyzed the situation, she didn't dare to call him. Instead, she called Dai Yi Chen.
Luckily, he had saved the number of the other party …
"So, can I be sure?"
Li Zhen carried the soup out. Although he pretended not to care, he still listened to his daughter's call.
Fu Xixi who was on the sofa had no expression on his face, and after hanging up he was also stunned for a long time.
"Cissy, what's wrong?" The mother asked tentatively, but she frowned with worry. Could it be that he was found out that Tang's son-in-law was infected with HIV?!
Fu Xixi busied himself with putting on his shoes, casually picked up his bag and left the room, leaving his mother behind.
In less than half an hour, she was already standing outside the door of the apartment.
She pressed the doorbell, but no one answered. Was she still in the hospital?
At this moment, Auntie Fang happened to come downstairs and saw her.
"You guys have returned. I thought you guys had moved away, but there's no one at home for so many days."
"Huh?"
Fu Xixi was stunned, she had finally returned to her home, then... Where is he? Had he not lived in the apartment during this time?
Where was he before, when he was on the phone every day?
She called Tang Mufan, and when she picked him up, she immediately asked where he was.
However, he only replied indifferently.
Still in the hospital.
"You … Haven't you been living in an apartment during this time? "
"Yes, in the hotel."
"Why?"
"If you're not here, I won't be able to sleep."
Eyebrows... What kind of logic was this? Could he fall asleep in a hotel?
Or was it because he would think of her in this apartment? Fu Xixi allowed himself to narcissism a little. Although the other party's cold words didn't have any warmth, it still made her think of something else.
"Hubby, come back quickly. I'm outside the door, I didn't bring my key."
How she wanted to see him, to kiss him.
From the results of his tests, HIV testing was negative, that is — no AIDS!
Damn Tang Mufan, did he not know how to tell her that he was making her so worried?
And in Lu Shen's private mansion, when Tang Mufan heard the woman's words, he stood up. Raising his wine cup, Lu Shen who was sipping the red wine raised his eyebrows. It looked like it was from his beloved little wife.
Sigh, did he have to be so cruel to a dog? He was still standing on the side!
"Leaving just like that?"
This guy didn't seem to want to stay here for even a minute longer. His years of love couldn't even compare to a single phone call from that woman. Lu Shen swallowed the alcohol, and started laughing softly.
"Why isn't it a positive? What a pity."
Then, that cold gaze fell on him. Lu Shen crooked his lips. It was just a joke, don't put on a serious face.
"We won't have to wait any longer. The old man won't be able to survive tonight."
