Whether this daily routine can continue, only heaven knows.
The sun sets slowly, another day passes.
When the sun rises again, there will only be nine days left until the surgery.
The days seem to be slipping by too quickly.
"Xu Musen." Yao Mingyue suddenly called out to him.
"Hm." Xu Musen looked at her.
At this mont, Yao Mingyue stood under the sunset, her almond eyes particularly lively: "A few days ago, you told that during this last period, as long as there's sowhere I want to go, you'll accompany . Do you rember?"
Xu Musen looked at her bright eyes, with a faint sense of unease: "It cos with the condition that it shouldn't affect your health."
"So as long as it doesn't affect my health, you'll comply unconditionally, right?" Yao Mingyue had already anticipated this and smiled with a sense of victory.
Xu Musen studied her for a long while: "What exactly do you want to do?"
Yao Mingyue slowly pulled out a ticket from her pocket and unfolded it in front of herself. It was an international plane ticket.
As for the destination…
"Zheng City?"
Xu Musen saw the characters clearly and reached out to take it.
But Yao Mingyue quickly took it back.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"Change the place, change the mood. Is it not okay to just want to take a look back?"
"Don't joke, it's too far."
"It's only half a day by plane, just a nap away."
"No, your health..."
"The doctor said it, my health is fine now; what I really need to watch is my mood."
Yao Mingyue interrupted him, seeing his worried eyes, she smiled as she approached him and pinched his tense cheeks: "I just want to go back for a short visit. It won't take long and it won't be dangerous. Don't worry, I've already discussed it with Uncle, Aunty, and Mom, and they all agreed."
Yao Mingyue gently stood on tiptoe, cupping Xu Musen's still-frowning cheeks and softly pinching them.
"I know my requests have always been a bit willful, but this is my last wish. Will you indulge … just this once?"
Her almond eyes shimred under the sunset. Xu Musen silently watched her, rembering Liu Rushuang's earlier advice.
Within these ten days, even if Yao Mingyue stayed safely in the hospital, it might have a negligible effect on the surgery's final outco, but fulfilling Yao Mingyue's last wish could truly be a once-in-a-lifeti chance.
"You…"
After a long breath, Xu Musen gave in to her once more, although he was already accustod to always being the one to concede.
"You agree?" Yao Mingyue's eyebrows lifted, brimming with joyous excitent.
Xu Musen nodded: "Let make a call to book the tickets. I also need to inform Nuannuan…"
He didn't finish his sentence.
Yao Mingyue suddenly stepped back, smiling sheepishly with a warm face.
"Behind you."
Xu Musen turned around and saw An Nuannuan standing behind them already, wearing a gentle and serene smile.
For a mont, Xu Musen felt a bit strange, awkwardly clearing his throat: "Nuannuan, I just had sothing to discuss with you…"
"I know."
An Nuannuan interrupted him, approaching Xu Musen.
An Nuannuan smiled at the mont, yet carried an indescribable sense of pressure, perhaps the aura of the main wife.
She looked at Xu Musen, and after a few seconds, took sothing from her pocket and handed it to him.
"A plane ticket?"
Xu Musen held it in his hand, stunned when he realized what it was.
Yao Mingyue couldn't help but chuckle, coming to An Nuannuan's side and gently taking her hand.
"Hehe, actually, I consulted Nuannuan long ago, and with her consent, I told you."
Xu Musen's eyes widened, looking at An Nuannuan. They stood hand in hand like best friends who had been through thick and thin together.
Xu Musen had imagined this scene many tis, but seeing it in reality was indeed quite surreal.
"When did you two beco so close?"
Xu Musen couldn't help but ask.
"Do you really want to know?"
An Nuannuan blinked her clear eyes, smiling brightly at Xu Musen.
Coughing, Xu Musen imdiately relented, "Actually, I'm not in a rush to know."
"Pfft…" Yao Mingyue couldn't help but laugh; there will always be soone who can deal with another.
An Nuannuan didn't say more, pulling Yao Mingyue closer to Xu Musen: "I'll take this up with you later. But for now, take good care of her. I'll be waiting for both of you to co back."
An Nuannuan's voice was eternally gentle, but her eyes lacked any past naivety, clear as a pool of water, tempting to draw one in.
It seed like a concession, but more like confidence.
Confidence in herself, and confidence in him.
Does this count as… a state-ordered "affair"?
Between them, it was already a complex and inseparable bond.
Ultimately, Xu Musen didn't linger awkwardly; he looked at An Nuannuan, suddenly smiling.
"As you command, my lovely wife."
