Xu Musen was confined to bed.
The girls, upon hearing the news, rushed over one after another, anxious to check on him.
"I noticed he seed to have caught a cold last night, but he was still acting tough. Now, he has to face reality."
"He's simply too exhausted and has been pushing himself too hard. Otherwise, if he had collapsed on the island, we would have been even more worried..."
The girls were all clever and quickly surmised that Xu Musen was persisting for their sake, which moved them deeply.
A man like him truly provided a sense of security.
Looking at Xu Musen now, his face flushed with fever and lying in his blankets, the girls' eyes flickered with concern.
An Nannan approached the bed and extended her small hand to feel Xu Musen's forehead.
Hmm... so hot.
Then she leaned her little head closer and quietly perched her ear in front of his nose to listen.
Oh... there's still breathing.
"I'm telling you... it's just a cold, I'm not dead yet..."
Xu Musen wasn't asleep. Feeling a tickle at the tip of his nose, he opened his eyes to see An Nannan's cute and anxious face.
Xu Musen was sowhat amused and exasperated; how co his younger aunt could be so silly sotis.
"I'm not worried... It's for my sister I'm worried about you, and you're still laughing at . I'm not the one with the cold, you're the loser."
An Nannan huffed proudly yet her tone softened, even helping to tuck Xu Musen in with the covers.
"You need to get well soon, or sister will be worried sick... I'd be worried about you too, just a tiny bit..."
After her haughty remark, the little miss, looking at her brother-in-law, so sickly, still moved closer and murmured tenderly.
Xu Musen smiled and reached out to pinch her chubby cheek, "Thanks for caring. I'll cook you sothing tasty when I'm better."
This ti An Nannan allowed him to pinch her cheek, huffing, "You said it yourself, so I'll worry about you a little bit more..."
"How much is 'a little bit'?"
"Ha! That will depend on how great the treat you make is."
"So you're quite stingy..."
"Blah blah blah~"
Their conversation much lightened everyone's mood.
Xu Musen smiled at the concerned girls, "Don't worry about , I'll be fine after so sleep. You all should rest as well."
The girls nodded, especially Zhu Yulan and Yao Mingyue. Honestly, they were quite envious of An Nannan.
Taking advantage of her status as both a child and a younger aunt, she could pester Xu Musen without restraint.
Xu Musen went to sleep and rest.
The girls hadn't had a good night's sleep these past days either, and at this mont, they also went off to catch up on so rest.
Yao Mingyue was waiting for her mother and Aunt Bai to arrive.
So ti later, a Bentley stopped at the entrance of the villa.
Yao Mingyue, pushing a wheelchair, went to the entrance to et them.
"Xiao Mingyue!"
Liu Rushuang, after getting out of the car, imdiately ran over and affectionately nuzzled her daughter in her arms.
"Baby, Mommy has missed you so much."
Liu Rushuang hugged her daughter's head and rubbed it against her chest, causing Yao Mingyue to feel slightly embarrassed by the affectionate display.
She wriggled out of Liu Rushuang's embrace.
"Mom, I'm not a child anymore, can you not hug people like that?"
Mainly because Yao Mingyue, sitting in the wheelchair, felt what truly was a blissful suffocation at this height.
If it were a certain slly guy, he would definitely be excited...
"Mom isn't old enough to be sagging yet, you unappreciative girl."
Liu Rushuang poked her daughter's forehead with a smile, but her expression slowly turned to one of concern.
She bent down to look carefully at her daughter, eventually letting out a small sigh, "I ran into your villa's butler just now, and he told about the things that have happened to you these past few days. Look at you kids, not telling your family about such big events, it's so dangerous."
Liu Rushuang tenderly stroked her daughter's slightly gaunt cheeks, which still showed faint bloodshot eyes.
"Anyway, that's in the past, we bring only good news, not worries."
Yao Mingyue felt ward by her mother's concerned gaze.
"Bringing only good news and not worries is ant for old people; I'm not old yet. I can still help, so next ti, don't hide such big events from Mom, got it?"
Liu Rushuang was gratified to see her daughter's growth.
"Alright, alright, as long as the kids are okay that's what matters most. Look at you, all worried, frowning every day, be careful not to wrinkle your forehead."
Bai Xin joined in the teasing then, and Liu Rushuang imdiately dropped her worried expression, touching her smooth and collagen-rich cheeks.
Although she couldn't compare to the delicate tenderness of an eighteen-year-old girl, she certainly wasn't related to the term 'old' either.
Budding flowers have their delicate innocence.
But mature fruit also has its ripe fullness.
It's the beauty of different phases of womanhood; only fools care too much about it.
The truly wise, like Xu Musen, would...
Appreciate!
"Still, old mom is as beautiful as ever~"
Liu Rushuang's vanity actually did resemble that of an eighteen-year-old Yao Mingyue.
"Ah... Auntie, why have you co?"
At that mont, An Nuannuan, who had gone out to fetch hot water for Xu Musen, also saw them.
"Nuannuan."
Liu Rushuang quickly approached as well, softly laying a hand on her shoulder, "We couldn't get through to you on the phone yesterday; knowing there was a typhoon here, we were worried and ca over. We know about what happened, you all must have suffered..."
Liu Rushuang looked at the young woman before her, although she was her daughter's rival and the one who stole her son-in-law.
