Mo Huai walked in and greeted Su Yuxin. During their conversation, Su Yuxin received a call about a problem at the store that required her urgent attention. Luo Wei urged her to go quickly, assuring her that she would take care of herself.
Su Yuxin was still worried until Mo Huai assured her that everything would be fine with him looking after things. Only then did Su Yuxin feel relieved and hurriedly leave.
Luo Wei looked at the man and blinked, "Are we leaving now?"
Mo Huai shook his head and said, "Not leaving."
Not leaving? Luo Wei furrowed her brows. She hated the smell of hospital disinfectant and disliked staying in hospitals.
Luo Wei smiled, her eyes curving into a beautiful arc, "Didn't Gu Xiu say you could leave after the IV drip was done?" The IV drip was already finished; was he planning to stay in the hospital?
"Mm." Mo Huai raised an eyebrow, "Gu Xiu said you could leave after the IV drip, but I'm still not at ease. I had him arrange for you to stay for observation."
Ah? Really? Luo Wei felt panicked, "How... how long?"
"Five days." Mo Huai's expression remained unchanged, his brow relaxing.
"So long?" Luo Wei felt frustrated and scratched her head, then suddenly asked with a smile, "Can it be three days?"
Mo Huai smiled without humor, "Do you think this is a market where you can haggle?"
Luo Wei felt a pang of frustration, pouting and clasping her hands in a pleading manner, "I don't like hospitals. Can I stay for a shorter time?"
In the end, someone agreed to three days under Luo Wei's stubborn insistence.
On the day of discharge, Luo Wei was extremely happy. Sitting on the bed eating an apple, Mo Huai helped her pack up to prepare for discharge. Luo Wei looked at the man's back.
"I missed home so much. You haven't slept well these days accompanying me in the hospital, right?" Luo Wei's voice lowered. The man's face showed some signs of fatigue but still maintained its charm.
Mo Huai stopped packing and looked up, "I'm fine."
Luo Wei actually felt guilty. Even though they were legally married, she didn't want to see the man worry for her.
Luo Wei lifted the blanket, put on slippers, and walked to the man’s back. She hugged him tightly from behind and seemed to hear the man's clear laughter.
"What's wrong? Shouldn't you be happy about leaving the hospital?" Mo Huai furrowed his brow. The girl had been looking forward to this day, yet she seemed reluctant now.
After a moment, Luo Wei whispered, "I'm happy to be discharged, but I only realized now that I can't be without you. I don't know what I would do without you."
Mo Huai heard this, his lips curved into a slight smile. He turned around, cupping the girl's face in his hands, his voice gentle and tender, "Silly, I'm always here. Even if you want to leave, no matter where you go, I will find you."
Mo Huai's forehead touched hers, their breaths mingling. The fresh and pleasant scent of the man filled her nostrils.
Just as Mo Huai was about to lower his head to kiss the girl's lips, a cough suddenly interrupted at the door of the ward.
"Cough cough..." Gu Xiu stood awkwardly at the door, raising his hand to cover his mouth as he coughed twice.
Luo Wei looked toward the door, suddenly pushing the man away, her back straightening and her face slightly reddening.
Gu Xiu hesitated for a moment before walking over slowly, "This is the discharge form. You can leave now if everything is fine."
Mo Huai took the form, and Gu Xiu gave him a suggestive wink, then leaned in to whisper in his ear, "Be careful. At seven months pregnant, she’s in the perinatal period, so no sexual activity is allowed. You need to follow the hospital's advice and hold yourself back."
Gu Xiu’s gaze was ambiguous. Mo Huai glanced at him, his eyes a bit unfocused. He secretly wondered if, despite being a top student in a prestigious school and ranking first in the entrance exams, he could maintain his self-control. He had managed to restrain himself at three months of pregnancy, but now he worried if he might become like a ninja turtle or a lurking wild beast in the future.
Luo Wei felt embarrassed. Although Gu Xiu spoke quietly, it didn't escape her sharp ears. Her face immediately flushed with two spots of red.
After Gu Xiu left the ward, he didn’t forget to tease Mo Huai, "Remember to control your beastly nature."
Mo Huai’s eyelids twitched. If Gu Xiu hadn’t left quickly, he might have made his brother-in-law experience the consequences of saying the wrong thing.
Gu Xiu's words lingered in Luo Wei’s ears for a while before fading. Mo Huai, carrying the luggage, left the hospital with Luo Wei.
Supreme Mansion.
As soon as Luo Wei returned home, she heard a voice before seeing the person, "Wei Wei, you're finally back."
Wang Ma was in the kitchen cooking soup, intending to help Luo Wei recuperate after her discharge. Hearing the door open, Wang Ma excitedly came out, "Wei Wei, are you feeling better? I missed you so much these days."
Luo Wei smiled faintly, grabbing Wang Ma's somewhat calloused hand and said, "Wang Ma, I'm fine. Aren't I bouncing around now?"
Wang Ma smiled warmly, nodding repeatedly, "That's good, that's good. As long as you're fine, it's good."
Luo Wei felt a warm feeling in her heart. Although Wang Ma was a servant, she always treated her like family. Wang Ma had been even better than her adoptive mother.
Wang Ma slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "Oh no, I forgot the soup. Wei Wei, wait a moment. I'll bring it out for you."
With that, Wang Ma waddled back to the kitchen.
Luo Wei turned to Mo Huai with a smile, "It’s better to be home. The smell of hospital disinfectant is the worst."
Mo Huai smiled gently and lightly pinched her cheek.
After a while, Wang Ma brought out a bowl of fish maw chicken soup, "Wei Wei, come and drink."
"Mm." Luo Wei agreed, "Thank you, Wang Ma."
Mo Huai glanced at the girl, his mind plotting revenge.
He went to the balcony and called Xu Kaifeng.
The call was answered immediately, "President Mo, what can I do for you?"
Mo Huai's expression was icy. The man responsible for Luo Wei's hospitalization had long been investigated by Assistant Xu. Li Kun, 46 years old, CEO of Li's Group, had recently signed a contract with Mo's Group’s branch. He was known for his ruthless behavior, lecherous tendencies, and involvement in gambling and other vices. He built Li's Group through his own efforts.
"Li Kun, cancel the contract with the branch. I want to hear news of Li's Group’s bankruptcy within three days." Mo Huai's voice was cold, carrying an undeniable command.
Xu Kaifeng trembled slightly, feeling sympathy for Li Kun, wondering why he had to provoke Mo Huai.
Mo Huai was not someone to be offended.
Xu Kaifeng responded, "Understood, President Mo."
"Also, I want Luo Qianqian’s reputation to be ruined." Mo Huai's eyes narrowed, a cold smile playing on his lips.
Xu Kaifeng felt a pang of sympathy again. This woman was notorious for her misdeeds, laziness, and arrogance. Since the bankruptcy of the Luo family, she had clung to rich older men and continued living luxuriously.
Xu Kaifeng quietly said, "Understood, President Mo."
Mo Huai gave a few more instructions before hanging up the phone, feeling a sense of relief. Who dared to touch his woman? Society would teach them a lesson.
