C44 Gu Tingcheng's Return

Mu Li was currently lying in the hospital, as if he'd been dreaming for a very long time. In the dream, there were car accidents, blood stains, miserable cries, and fires.

When Mu Li woke up, he found himself in a white room. He looked around and found himself in the hospital.

"You're awake?" A magnetic voice came from Mu Li's ears. He was startled and turned around to see the man beside him.

Mu Li was surprised for a moment. "Why are you back?"

He had a fever all night and his throat was already a little hoarse.

"I knew you were sick. I came back last night." Gu Tingxiao said with a pained expression.

Mu Li looked closely and discovered that Gu Tingxiao's expression was haggard, probably because of the night.

Mu Li sighed helplessly. "Your job is so busy, there's no need for you to come back. I'm just having a fever, there's no big problem."

"Work is not as important as you." As Gu Tingxiao spoke, the door opened.

"Xiao Li, I made some porridge at home. Drink it while it's still hot. The doctor said that you've stopped burning and that it's better to eat something light."

After Mrs. Liu finished speaking, she put the things in her hand on the bedside table and said, "You don't know how anxious young master was last night when he came back. He came to the hospital in a hurry. He didn't eat or sleep all night."

"Sister Liu, go get the chopsticks." Seemingly not wanting Mu Li to hear any of this, Gu Tingxiao stopped Sister Liu from speaking any further. She smiled faintly and walked out of the room.

Mu Li looked at the man in front of him. "Are you tired? "Should I come up and rest? I'm fine now."

"I'm fine." As Gu Tingxiao spoke, he passed the bowl of porridge to Mu Li. "Eat it while it's hot. Your throat has already become so mute."

After saying that, he looked at the time, "I need to go back and take care of some matters. I don't need to go to the branch office for now, I'll be staying at home with you for the time being." He then left the ward in a wheelchair.

Mu Li, on the other hand, was slightly surprised. Mu Li clearly remembered the conversation he had with Mo Ling, why did this man treat him coldly and warmly.

But thinking about it made Mu Li feel relieved. After all, it was a matter of marriage. She and Gu Tingxiao hadn't truly fallen in love with each other to the point that they were inseparable. Thinking about it made Mu Li feel less uncomfortable.

In the evening, Mu Li had already completed the discharge procedures. She didn't like the atmosphere in the hospital, so she went back after visiting her mother.

When Mu Li returned to his room, he discovered that Gu Tingxiao's study door was ajar. It seemed that he was still busy with his work.

"Why aren't you resting even though it's so late?" When Mu Li opened the door to his study, Gu Tingxiao was engrossed in his work and hadn't heard Mu Li's question.

Seeing that Gu Tingxiao was unmoved, Mu Li could only return to his room. He thought for a moment, then went to the kitchen to prepare some food, waiting for Gu Tingxiao to finish his work.

It was already midnight by the time Gu Tingxiao finished dealing with his matters. He stretched lazily and walked out of the study room to find that the lights in the living room were still on.

Gu Tingxiao arrived at the living room in a wheelchair and discovered that Mu Li was already asleep at the dining table. The food on the table had long since turned cold.

"Mu Li, wake up. Go back to your room and sleep." Gu Tingxiao said softly.

Mu Li opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Gu Tingxiao, "You've finished with your duties? I prepared some food for you, but I didn't expect that after being processed for such a long time, the food would have become cold. "

"It's alright. Let's have a warm meal. I happen to be hungry too. Come and eat with me." Gu Tingxiao didn't want to waste Mu Li's good intentions.

Mu Li stood up and went into the kitchen to heat up all the dishes before bringing them back to the table. "Quickly, taste them. They don't suit your appetite."

Gu Tingxiao picked up the chopsticks and savored a taste, "Very good." That simple word was undoubtedly affirmation of Mu Li. Hearing the praise, Mu Li was extremely happy. "If you think it's delicious, then eat more."

"Yes." After speaking, Gu Tingxiao gazed at the woman before him as he ate. He then thought of something and asked, "How's your handling of the company's matters?"

"My first day at work only allowed me to sort out some of the past years' material, to let me know the company's history."

"What do you think?" Gu Tingxiao asked.
