This time, Mo Nuan's illness was imminent, and it was only because of the antipyretic medicine and alcohol that she was barely able to stabilize her condition.
She had not been able to sleep well all night and was always talking in her sleep, but he could not hear what she was saying clearly, and the repetition seemed to be the same thing. He had listened to it many times before he finally understood.
What she said was, "I won't return to the Mo Clan, absolutely not."
Without needing to think about it, one could already know that tonight's abnormality was because of the Mo Clan. Thinking about the phone calls she had received a few days ago, she could roughly guess what it was.
When it was almost daybreak, the temperature of Mo Nuan's body dropped. She immediately heaved a sigh of relief and barely managed to close her eyes.
When Mo Nuan woke up, shshefelt a splitting headache and her throat was extremely dry. As if she had been burned, he habitually reached her hands out to the side and couldn't help but open her eyes because the place beside him didn't have any temperature.
When she discovered that Lu Chen was sitting on the bed and had actually fallen asleep while leaning against the headboard, her gaze moved from her firm and unwavering chin to his tall and straight nose, before finally resting on the green figure before her eyes.
Her memory of last night returned bit by bit. She remembered walking home, but because she couldn't get in without a key, she could only sit down on a stone bench in the neighborhood. Finally, she seemed to fall asleep and was carried back in a daze, as if she had a high fever in the middle of the night and he had taken care of her all night.
"Lu Chen." Mo Nuan gently shook his arm. When Lu Chen opened her eyes, she saw that she had woken up and immediately held his forehead with her big hands. She asked nervously, "Warm, is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?"
Mo Nuan shook her head, her eyes red, "I'm fine, come to sleep on the bed for a while."
Lu Chen once again touched her forehead to Mo Nuan's face. After confirming that she did not have a fever, she finally relaxed and got up to pour her a cup of hot water. "My throat must be uncomfortable.
After she finished her water, he went to the kitchen and brought a bowl of rice porridge in. "Have some porridge before you go to sleep."
Mo Nuan watched Lu Chen's movements silently, her gaze following his shadow. She thought, without a father, without family, what can she do?
Lu Chen touched her forehead and laid down beside her. She felt himself leaning into his embrace, burying her head in his chest while his big hands embraced her waist.
She did not say anything, nor did he ask. The two of them hugged intimately, and just like that, they slept again.
Because Mo Nuan had slept for the entire night, she woke up not long after. Seeing that Lu Chen was deep in sleep and was afraid to disturb him, she did not move, and only carefully traced out his facial features. In the end, she could not help but raise his hand to stroke's handsome face.
He couldn't help but be puzzled in his heart, as though he hadn't even seen him use any skincare products. Why was his skin still so good? This made all the ladies jealous.
Seeing that Lu Chen did not show any signs of waking up, the movements of Mo Nuan's hands, from the very beginning, became impudent. Seeing the tiny green colored stubble on his chin, he could not help but press it.
However, before she even had the chance to retract her hand, Lu Chen had already grabbed her wrist. The man slowly opened his eyes and a smile appeared on her face, "Is Mrs. Lu satisfied with Mr. Lu's appearance?"
Being caught on the spot made Mo Nuan a little uncomfortable, but she still nodded and replied seriously: "Satisfied."
How could he not be satisfied? Whether it was appearance or family background, even if it was her husband's role, he was still quite outstanding. She could not find anything to be picky about.
Lu Chen was startled, then she could not help but laugh out loud, the little girl's character was a little awkward, he knew that, and it was very difficult to see her being so serious.
Mo Nuan had been sleeping for too long, and her head was spinning a little. Suddenly, she remembered that today was Tuesday, hence she struggled to get up.
Lu Chen immediately pulled her back into her embrace. "I helped you apply for a sick leave in the morning, so you should rest properly at home today."
Mo Nuan glanced at Lu Chen, then nodded his head. She was indeed in a very bad condition right now, and would probably not be able to concentrate even when she went to work.
Seeing that Mo Nuan's mood was much better, Lu Chen got up and leaned on the bedside, with a hand across her waist to hug her in her arms. Mo Nuan also loosened her body, and found a comfortable position to lean on in his embrace.
The two of them snuggled up to each other in silence. The sunlight shone in from outside the window, filling the room with warmth.
"Warm, what happened last night? Do you know how worried I am? " Lu Chen looked at Mo Nuan with a solemn expression.
Mo Nuan's expression changed, following that she pursed her lips, "Sorry, I made you worry, I won't do that next time."
"Warm, do you know what it was like when I got home last night? I suddenly realized that I don't know much about you. I don't know how to contact your friends, and I don't know where you'll go if you get in a bad mood. The only bridge between us is my phone. I drove to the place where you work, walked around and around the neighborhood, then ran along the road that you had to take to get home, or even unknowingly turned on the radio for fear of hearing bad news, and finally made a bet on my luck, hoping that you would go home on your own. Luckily, the security guard on duty told me that he saw you coming back, or else I would have called the police. "
He was so afraid of hearing about a car accident somewhere. He couldn't stand the possibility of any loss, but what made his heart hurt the most was that sentence.
Lu Chen, let's not fall in love.
Even though she murmured subconsciously, he knew that it was the truest thought in her heart. That was the thought she had made when she agreed to marry him in a hurry. She did not want love, she only wanted a husband.
Mo Nuan was currently in Lu Chen's embrace, and she could very clearly feel the stiffness of her body, as well as the emotions that she was trying her best to endure.
Mo Nuan rolled her eyes slightly, as she looked at Lu Chen in a daze, and then, she sighed and softly said. "Lu Chen, don't be so good to me, I'm afraid you'll fall in love with me."
He didn't know if it was because of the fever or because of some other reason, but he felt that his words were extremely bitter.
Her heart was made of flesh, and she could not be completely indifferent to it, but she really did not want to love, did not want to repeat the mother's mistake one day, the word love was too hurtful, and it was not something anyone could bear.
She liked the way things were right now. It was a kind of light liking, a shallow dependence on each other.
