One second, two seconds …

One minute, two minutes …

Time passed minute after minute, yet she didn't receive Chi Chengxuan's reply. Suddenly, her heart tensed up. Could it be that he was unwilling to go back on his words?

"Little uncle." Mu Yanfei tried to call him.

However, the only response she got was silence.

"Little uncle."

She couldn't help but cry out again.

"Where are you now?" He was finally willing to ignore her.

How could he still have any questions? He really wanted to make her worried to death before he was willing to give up?

She was in a hurry for money to save her uncle. Could he stop playing with her?

"Little uncle, let me ask you, are you willing to lend me some money?"

She asked him in a serious tone. If he didn't want to, she wanted to find someone else or something. She didn't want to waste any more time with him.

"Where are you now?" He asked the same question.

Mu Yufei felt that he was intentionally toying with her, and just when she was about to hang up, she suddenly heard his voice again.

"If you don't tell me, how will I give you money?"

Was he looking for her?

She raised her hand to touch her own face. With her current appearance, if he were to see her, would he ask her for the reason?

What if her brother saw him?

After some thought, she casually gave him the address closest to the hospital.

When she rushed to the address she mentioned, before Chi Chengxuan even arrived, she was already standing on the spot waiting for him.

When Chi Chengxuan arrived, it was already half an hour later. He parked the car and got off the car to walk towards her. The first thing he noticed was her face.

His eyes immediately turned cold. Who was it that dared to bully his woman after eating a leopard?!

Seeing him arrive, Mu Yanyu smiled at him, "Little uncle, you're here?"

"Yes." His deep gaze was still fixed on her face. "What happened to your face?"

"Little uncle, can you give me the money first?" She didn't want him to know that her face had been beaten into this state by Su Manlin. She was someone who owed him a favor, so she didn't want him to feel troubled.

Chi Chengxuan knitted his brows, his intuition telling him that something was up with Mu Yanyu hiding from him. Otherwise, why would she suddenly need money, and why would her face suddenly look as though she had been ruthlessly slapped in the face?

He took out a gold card from his wallet and handed it to her, telling her the password, "Take this card with you. If you need to buy anything, just swipe the card."

Mu Yanfei stared at him blankly, unable to believe what she just heard. She was only asking him to borrow some money, but he actually gave her a card, could it be counted as the cost of supporting her?

Or did he not actually see her as a lover in his heart?

No matter what his true intentions were, she was moved by him.

She clenched the card tightly in her hand and bit her lips. "Little Uncle, thank you."

"If you thank me, then show your sincerity. I don't like to talk verbally." Chi Chengxuan raised his hand to caress her face. Since she wasn't willing to tell him the reason, he could only investigate the situation himself.

"Oh." She lowered her head and replied softly.

She knew what he meant by his sincerity. She sighed helplessly in her heart. It can't be that it's too vulgar for a man to need a woman to thank him for everything he has done for her, right?

"Let's go. I'll accompany you no matter what you want to do." Chi Chengxuan held his hand and walked towards his car.

Although Mu Yanyu was following him, she was secretly worried. If she said that she didn't need his company right now, he would definitely be angry.

At this point, she could only be honest with him, "Little Uncle, actually, it was my uncle who was injured and needed medical expenses to stay in the hospital. I couldn't find anyone to borrow money from, so I had to trouble you."

"You were right to do that." He indifferently replied. Since she was able to speak to him, it proved that he wasn't completely without a place in her heart.

Mu Yanfei looked at him in puzzlement, but now was not the time for her to explore these matters.

"Little uncle, my little brother is currently in the hospital, so can I trouble you …"

"I'll wait for you outside the hospital." He interrupted her, as if reading her thoughts, and went on.

Although he sometimes gave her the impression that he was very tyrannical, at times, he could still understand what she was thinking about, just like how he acted as a doctor five years ago.

But Su Manlin's aggressive words were like a knife in her throat, dangerous and helpless.

He suddenly extended a hand to hold hers, causing her entire body to slightly freeze.

He was making her more and more confused?

In fact, she really wanted to ask him if he had already been relieved that her father had not agreed to help his family.

But she didn't dare. She was afraid that if she asked this question, the peace that had been so difficult for her to obtain with him would be ruined.

Arriving at the hospital, Mu Yanyu told Chi Chengxuan before she got off the car, "Little uncle, I will get out as soon as possible."

Chi Chengxuan nodded. Before Mu Yanyu opened the door and got off the car, she suddenly thought of something and turned around. She quickly touched Chi Chengxuan's lips and then escaped out of the car as if she was escaping.

Chi Chengxuan raised his hand and gently caressed his lips, revealing a faint smile. Then he called his assistant.

After Mu Yanfei paid the medical fees, she went to the ward to visit her uncle. Just as she entered the ward, Mu Jinghao said somewhat angrily, "Sis, where did you run off to? Do you know that I'm worried about you? Why didn't you pick up my phone?"

She said she wanted him to go out and buy her something to eat, but when she came back she couldn't find her, and she didn't answer the phone.

"I suddenly felt sick to my stomach and went to the bathroom." She lied to him again, afraid to look him in the eye and say that she was afraid of what she might reveal.

She walked to the window and looked at Zheng Yumin. His right leg was severely injured, and right now, he was in a cast. His eyes were filled with apology as he asked, "Uncle, how did you get injured?"

"On my way back from the grocery store, there was a man driving a motorcycle. I didn't have enough time to dodge and was knocked to the ground. The driver also escaped."

Zheng Yumin told this matter to Mu Yanfei without concealing anything. He didn't think too much about it, because he simply believed that this was just a traffic accident.

Mu Yanyu's hand unconsciously tightened, she did not expect Su Manlin to be so fierce.

"..."

After leaving the hospital, when Mu Yanfei got into Chi Chengxuan's car, her phone suddenly rang. She thought it was Su Manlin, but her eyes immediately filled with panic.

Chi Chengxuan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, noticed the panic in her eyes, and he was even more sure of his guess.
