The result of a heavy fall was a painful price to pay.

While taking advantage of the situation, Mu Yanfei accidentally sprained her leg, and now that she was walking slowly, her leg was in great pain.

She limped out to the side of the road to stop the car. A royal blue Rolls-Royce Silver Charm stopped in front of her. The car window slowly rolled down, revealing the person inside. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Little uncle?" She remembered that he had been driving an Audi. Why had he switched to a Rolls-Royce today?

"Get in."

Her eyes that had a hint of doubt in them were startled for a moment. Then, she limped around the car to the passenger side, opened the door, and sat down.

The car window slowly closed.

Qi Xinghuan, who had followed her out of the carriage, saw the scene of her getting on the carriage. His entire body was suffused with a cold, gloomy aura.

In the car.

Chi Chengxuan slightly furrowed his brows, a cold and reserved look on his handsome face. His gaze fell on her ankle, "What happened to your foot?"

"I accidentally sprained it just now." In front of him, Mu Yan Fei withdrew her thorns, as though she was wronged, but at the same time, she was acting like a spoiled child as she told him.

As he fastened her seat belt, he said reproachfully, "I don't know how to walk carefully. I'm in trouble."

Although his words didn't sound pleasant to the ears, she could hear the faint care and concern contained within them. Her heart warmed as a gentle smile spread from the corner of her mouth.

However, his heart was also a bit astringent, thinking of tomorrow to leave him, suddenly felt very reluctant.

"Little uncle, why are you here?" She still asked her questions, with a kind of expectation.

"I happened to pass by." As he started the car, he answered her quietly.

He would not admit to her that he had deliberately refused to attend an important social event because he did not trust her.

Mu Yanfei's slightly lowered eyes had a faint sense of loss. Earlier, she thought that he came especially for her, but who would have thought that he just happened to pass by.

As Chi Chengxuan was driving past a pharmacy, he stopped and got off.

With a puzzled expression, Mu Yanyi followed his back until he entered a pharmacy, only then did her expression change into one of understanding.

Chi Chengxuan walked out of the pharmacy with a bag of medicine. Due to her sprained ankle, he had just got out of the car to buy medicine for her.

"..."

After Chi Chengxuan carried Mu Yanyu into the villa, Uncle Cheng immediately walked over and asked in concern, "Miss Mu, what's wrong?"

"Uncle Cheng, help me prepare a hot towel."

Chi Chengxuan instructed in a deep voice.

"Alright, I'll go prepare it immediately." Uncle Cheng turned around and left.

Chi Chengxuan carried Mu Yanfei as he walked into the hall. He placed her on the sofa and squatted down in front of her, taking off her shoes. Then, he gently lifted up her twisted foot and placed it on his knee.

"Pain …" She was in so much pain that her eyebrows were furrowed into the shape of a "Chuan", and her eyes were filled with mist.

"Just clench your teeth and endure for a moment. It won't be long." Chi Chengxuan consoled her gently and continued to press hard on the injured part of her foot.

She bit her lips as she endured the pain, her hands tightly grasping the sofa cushion.

Uncle Cheng came over with a hot towel.

Chi Chengxuan took the hot towel in his hand and placed it on her feet. Warmth came from it, and Mu Yanyu immediately felt the pain lessen significantly.

This kind of earnest and focused him, just like how he was many years ago when he was still a doctor.

"Uncle, thank you."

There was a hint of apology in her beautiful eyes.

When he raised his eyes to look at her, he accurately caught her apology. It was likely that she had done something for fear of him finding out.

He sighed in his heart. When would the little girl not be afraid of him?

Did he look scary?

Standing up, he turned around and walked towards the washroom. After washing his hands, he returned to her side and noticed that her eyes were still filled with apology.

However, he still didn't ask her what had happened, as he didn't want to create any pressure in her heart.

Bending down, he picked her up and carried her upstairs.

After returning to her room, when Chi Chengxuan placed her on the sofa, she finally mustered the courage to be frank with him.

"Little uncle, I …"

"Hmm?" Chi Chengxuan stared at her, waiting for her to finish.

"I actually made use of you at the betrothal ceremony of Mu Zhiqing."

Her voice was as soft as the buzzing of a mosquito, but Chi Chengxuan could still hear her clearly.

"How did you use me?"

Her eyelashes trembled as she continued, "My second uncle introduced me to a man. That man tried to do something to me, so I said I was your woman in a hurry."

"And then?"

"Then the man was scared off when he heard your name." She answered honestly.

"Oh?" On the surface, he pretended to be unmoved, but he actually felt a sense of relief in his heart. In this emergency, Su Yeyue had immediately thought of him, which proved that he had quite a bit of weight in her heart.

However, the blind guy who dared to have any ideas about his woman, he would definitely give him a little something to look at.

"Little Uncle, I'm sorry. I won't do it again." She also knew that she was only his lover and didn't have the qualifications to do so. Furthermore, she was about to leave him, making her even more unqualified.

Hearing this, Chi Chengxuan's expression immediately darkened. Was she in urgent need of getting rid of her relationship with him?

Seeing his displeased expression, Mu Yanfei thought that he was really angry, hence she didn't dare to rashly speak again.

"Next time you encounter something like this, remember to call me." After a long while, his light and faintly discernible voice could be heard.

Astonishment flashed across her eyes as she stared at him in shock, as if she didn't believe what she had just heard.

Not only was he not angry that she had used him as a shield, he even said that he could call her.

The warmth in his heart condensed bit by bit.

"You still don't understand?" He frowned slightly, extremely dissatisfied with her reaction.

"I understand." she whispered back.

"Call me no matter what happens to you." He slightly relaxed his frowning and added.

Her beautiful eyes immediately opened wide, a look of confusion flashing across them.

"Because you are my woman." He stood up. "I'll go get you a bath water."

She nodded her head in a daze before regaining her senses. At the same time, she started to worry in her heart. Could it be that he would still need to help her bathe?

"..."

As it turned out, her worries were right.

As soon as Chi Chengxuan put in the bath water, he came out of the bathroom and carried her into the bathroom.
