Nanxin regretted it when he saw that Qiao Mubei was sleeping soundly. He should have restrained himself just now.
He got up and went to take a bath. He also got some water to help him wipe down. Then, he helped him change into another pajamas.
Liu Xu knocked on the door and came in, staring at Nanxin: "Do you really want his life?"
This time Nanxin was ashamed of being asked this question, he did not retort and only lowered his eyes to look at the wounds on his body, "Can you give me the medicine that Qiao Mubei wants to exchange?"
She would have to change his dressing and bandage him.
Liu Xu handed the pill over to Nanxin. Watching from the side.
She bandaged more skillfully than ever before.
It took a while for her to finish everything. Nanxin answered the call. Su Yurao called and told her that Dou Dou had eaten the wrong thing and was sent to the hospital.
Bending over, she lightly kissed his lips, then stood up, anxious to leave.
"A woman like you is truly unworthy of his love. If you leave now, I will definitely not easily return Mubei to you." Liu Xu's eyes were filled with determination.
Nanxin turned a deaf ear to her, and left. She believed he couldn't be taken away.
Liu Xu only wanted to keep Nanxin alive for a while longer.
Seeing Qiao Mubei sleeping soundly with the corners of his mouth raised, and the contours of his face softening, Liu Xu knew that the person he must have dreamt of was Zhang Nanxin again.
Her phone kept ringing as she hit the answer button. On the other end was the reprimanding of Mrs. Liu, "Where are you now?"
"I'm with Mubei."
Hearing Liu Xu's words, Mrs. Liu's anger decreased a little and he said gently, "Peter is here to find you. If you still can't handle Qiao Mubei, quickly go back with Peter. Don't miss such a good opportunity."
"Mom, give me some more time."
"If necessary, you can tell Qiao Mubei everything that happened between you and Peter. As long as we have Qiao Mubei's mercy, it will be enough for us to live our entire lives. " Mrs. Liu began to habitually help Liu Xu come up with ideas.
Hearing Mrs. Liu's words, Liu Xu suddenly laughed until she cried, completely unaware. She could have listened to her mother about anything. She had never told her mother about closing the door with Peter, and she thought her mother didn't know, so she let her be with Peter again. Now that she had heard her mother's words, it seemed like that wasn't the case. Her mother had long since known and only pretended that she didn't know! If she knew, she could still let her stay with Peter!
After a while, her eyes filled with coldness, "Mom, do you take me as your daughter!?"
She had always tried to consider her mother's feelings. She knew that her mother was not an easy person, but she didn't know that life had actually caused her mother to become like this. She was extremely disappointed.
"Of course you are my daughter. If you weren't my daughter, why would I care about you? You were born to be the young miss's life. Tell me, what kind of job did you find a few days ago? Were the hotel attendants made by humans? You've never suffered much in your life. Look at how your hands have changed in the past few days. "
Mrs. Liu always played the emotional card, every time she wanted to make Liu Xu listen to her, she would say this kind of thing.
"Enough!" Liu Xu shouted hysterically, interrupting Mrs. Liu's endless talking.
He picked up the phone and threw it on the ground.
The cell phone's screen had been broken and it was completely black.
Her world finally calmed down.
She spent one night to accept the Mrs. Liu's betrayal. From today onwards, she would live for herself.
Luckily she found a job at that hotel, otherwise why would Qiao Mubei see her in such a sorry state and be willing to help her?
Qiao Mubei had helped her, but she had only paid him back for what he had done. She had already repaid him for what she had done, so she decided to do it for herself.
If Zhang Nanxin truly listened to her advice to leave Mubei, it would be for the best.
Liu Xu dialed Jing Yu's number, "Jing Yu, Mubei's fever is getting worse."
"I'll be right over."
After Jing Yu hung up, he rushed over with an ambulance and sent Qiao Mubei to the hospital.
After Qiao Mubei woke up, he looked much better. He looked around, searching for a figure, "Where's Nanxin?"
"Big brother, what Nanxin? The only one who has been taking care of you is Sister Liu Xu." Jing Yu replied unhappily.
"Is that so?" Qiao Mubei raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Xu.
Liu Xu clenched her fist, looked at him and replied, "Yes."
"Big Brother, don't look for Sister-in-law for now." Didn't you say you were going back to the capital? "Go back to the capital and bring Sister Liu Xu along. Firstly, Sister Liu Xu can take care of you, and secondly, she can avoid Peter's pestering." Jing Yu watched with his eyes, during this period of time, it was Liu Xu who was taking care of Qiao Mubei, so he still hoped that they would have the chance to get back together. He felt that the age difference between Nanxin and his big brother was just too huge.
Qiao Mubei's black eyes were still staring straight at Liu Xu, as if he wanted to see through her.
Those memories were too real, like a dream but not a dream. Those feelings, shouldn't be a dream.
After Jing Yu left, Liu Xu helped Qiao Mubei peel the apples. When she approached him, she became nervous, and only after she saw Qiao Mubei's pupils contract for an instant did she finally heave a sigh of relief.
Because she had also made preparations and left traces on her body.
"Mubei, I know that you are muddleheaded because you miss Nanxin too much. You think of me as her, so I won't blame you, and I won't let you take responsibility for it." Liu Xu lowered her eyes as a trace of coldness flashed across her eyes.
Qiao Mubei was lying down, so even if she had lowered her eyes, he would still see the look in her eyes.
Jing Yu would not lie to him, and his feelings were so real again. It couldn't be Liu Xu, he remembered every word that Nanxin said.
"Liu Xu, I'll help you one last time, as a repayment for the care you've given these days. But, you know, I will not tolerate deceit. " Qiao Mubei's voice was like ice, his eyes filled with a cold fierceness.
She had done everything, so she could only brace herself and endure. She covered her mouth with her hands, preventing herself from crying loudly. The tears in her eyes continuously rolled down. "Qiao Mubei, am I that unbearable in your heart?"
She had become unbearable long ago, after the Liu Family fell into decline.
Qiao Mubei withdrew his gaze, "I hope you haven't become unbearable."
Listening to him, these sounds, these words, Liu Xu did not have any confidence, the only thing left to support herself was her desire to live better.
Liu Xu covered her face and ran out of the ward sobbing.
Outside the ward, Jing Yu packed up all the food he could eat and came over to look at Liu Xu, "Did my big brother say something unpleasant to you?"
"Nope." Liu Xu shook her head and denied it.
But this made Jing Yu even more certain that Qiao Mubei said something unpleasant.
He waved the food in his hand, "The food in the hospital doesn't taste good. I went out to buy some. You've gotten skinnier recently, so you should eat more."
"I'll eat later. I'll go wash my face first."
Her face was tear-stained and haggard.
Jing Yu's eyes were tight, filled with love, "Sister Liu Xu, you are something my big brother cannot do. I can see you taking care of my big brother like this, but it's truly impossible for you to be with my big brother. "
Liu Xu revealed a smile, "I am just following my heart. As for whether or not there is a future, I will not consider it for the time being. "
"He will be able to see through your intentions for Big Brother. I hope you get a good result. If my big brother really doesn't want you, I can take care of you. "
At first, Liu Xu was surprised by his words. Later on, she thought that she was overthinking it, so she gave a relieved smile, "Thank you."
Jing Yu should only feel sympathy for her. According to Jing Yu's capabilities, even if he were to raise her and provide her with food and shelter, it would be easy for him to do it.
"I will convince my brother to take you back to the capital with him. But why would your ex-husband come to find you? " Jing Yu was puzzled.
They were already divorced, and they had already been together for several years. It would be strange if he came to find her at this time of the year.
Liu Xu lowered her eyes, almost crying as she bit her lips and shook her head.
Since Liu Xu didn't want to say it, he didn't ask anymore.
Jing Yu did his utmost to persuade Qiao Mubei to bring Liu Xu back to the capital, so Qiao Mubei could bring her back.
Returning to the Qiao Family, Aunt Qiao was originally lying on the bed, but after seeing Qiao Mubei, his face lit up, and his vitality improved by a lot.
"Mubei, you're finally back. Where have you been all these years? I need to call your dad first. You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll go cook for you. " Aunt Qiao was so excited that he didn't know what to do.
He got up, turned around, and prepared to make a phone call first. Just as he picked up the phone and raised his eyes, he saw Liu Xu.
Qiao Nianyu called out, "Big brother." Then, he comforted Aunt Qiao, "Mom, you don't need to call me. Daddy will be back before dinner. You don't feel well right now, so it's best for you to rest. "
Qiao Nianyu's face did not reveal any surprise, because the moment Qiao Mubei entered the door, she saw Liu Xu following behind him.
"Aunty, long time no see." Liu Xu smiled and put the supplement on the tea table.
Liu Xu had a blissful look, and the clothes she wore were all bright and beautiful. After applying makeup, one could still see that there were some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and even more lines on her neck.
Aunt Qiao's smile suddenly stopped. "What are you doing here?"
