Chapter 238 Mu Qing is Missing

The two just leaned on the rocks and watched the sunset and even chatted. When the sky gradually darkened, their clothes were almost dry.

It was time to go home, but Bai Muqing was suddenly reluctant to leave here. If she could, she really wanted to just sit like this forever.

However, the reality couldn't make her wish come true, especially as the sky got darker and the sea breeze blowing towards her face gradually began to feel a little chilly, besides, the clothes on the two of them hadn't been completely dried.

She herself didn't care at all, she was just worried that Nangong Chen would catch a cold.

"Let's go back." She sat up straight beside him.

"What should I do if I don't want to go back at all?" Nangong Chen put his arms around her shoulders and pulled her into his arms.

It turned out that he also felt this way, Bai Muqing smiled bitterly: "But we can't just sit like this forever? We have to go back and change our clothes, otherwise we'll catch a cold."

"Well, let's go back." Naturally, Nan Gongchen was also worried that she would catch a cold, so he pulled her up from the boulder.

Nangong Chen was worried that the reef under her feet would hurt her soles, so she bent down in front of her: "Come on, I'll carry you to the plank road."

Bai Muqing smiled and said, "Are you sure you won't fall behind my back?"

"Don't worry, your weight is not enough to make me fall over."

"Then I won't be polite." After Bai Muqing finished speaking, she lay on his back, her hands hugging his neck tightly.

Nangong Chen walked forward carefully stepping on the rocks with her on his back, seeing his plain white feet stepping on the uneven stone surface, thinking that he had never walked barefoot on weekdays, Bai Muqing just looked at him and felt pain.

"Are you sure you don't need to put me down?" She deliberately blew in his ear.

Nangong Chen was itched by her blowing, and angrily said: "Don't be naughty!"

"I don't, I just care about you." Bai Muqing blew on the back of his other ear again, driving him crazy.

Nangong Chen stepped onto the plank road and put her off her back. Seeing that he was about to grab her, Bai Muqing immediately ran forward, shouting, "Nangong Chen, don't be so stingy!" I just blew you twice."

"I'm being stingy!" Nan Gongchen accelerated and rushed forward, with long legs and wide strides, he grabbed her and grabbed her into his arms.

Bai Muqing was hugged by him from behind, bent over and giggled, Nan Gongchen lowered his head and bit her neck in retaliation, then bit her earball and said: "I just bit you Twice, you can't be stingy, you know?"

"Damn it, you hurt me."

"No way, I didn't see any marks." Nan Gongchen touched her neck with his hand.

The two quarreled for a while, Bai Muqing jumped on his back again, and said coquettishly, "I want you to carry me all the way to the parking lot."

"No problem, as long as you're not afraid of being laughed at."

"I'm not afraid, no one knows me anyway." Bai Muqing giggled, "It's you, with so many headlines recently, can sunglasses cover it?"

"It's okay, at worst, another report will come out saying that I have a mistress."

"Since you don't care, then I don't care." Bai Muqing hugged his neck tightly, smiling very heartily.

At this moment, both of them deliberately did not think about the future, nor did they think about Nangongchen's illness.

Right now, they just want to enjoy this moment. After all, it is such a precious opportunity. If it is lost, they don't know when it will come again.
-
However, as Bai Muqing expected, Nangong Chen developed a fever at night, and immediately followed by the illness process that she was most worried about.

Although she fed the medicine into his mouth in the shortest time, he was still tormented by the pain and lost his senses as usual.

Bai Muqing hugged him, trying to calm him down, but Nan Gongchen lost her mind in an instant and threw her onto her blanket.

Although the carpet was soft, if he threw it too hard, Bai Muqing's eyes would still glow from the fall.

"Chen, I'm in so much pain." She lay on the ground and whimpered.

She hoped that Nangong Chen could listen to her call. If Nangong Chen didn't want to hurt her so much, he would definitely listen!

Sure enough, Nangong Chen regained his sanity after hearing her call, then climbed from the bed to the ground and picked her up from the ground, tremblingly said: "Mu Qing, Mu Qing."

Not only was his voice trembling, but his body was also trembling so painfully.

"Chen, are you alright? Are you feeling bad? Why don't you bite me." Bai Muqing cried bitterly. If biting him could make him feel better, she would be willing to be bitten by him, just like she was bitten by him back then. Wrists are fine.

But Nangong Chen was unwilling, he didn't want to hurt her, he didn't want to hurt her.

If so, he pushed her out of his arms with all his might, and roared angrily, "Go away! Get out—!"

Bai Muqing was pushed to the side fiercely by him, she was thrown into a daze, and finally regained her composure, and turned her head to find that Nangong Chen was curled up on the ground trembling.

Sitting by his side, she cried bitterly, and the feeling of wanting to help him but not knowing how to do it was really uncomfortable.

Finally, Nangong Chen calmed down and fell into a coma as usual.

Together with Dr. Zhang, Bai Muqing helped the unconscious Nangong Chen back to the bed, and put him on an IV.

The old lady looked at Nangong Chen on the bed and cried bitterly: "Didn't Chen fall ill the night before, why did he fall ill again today? Is it true that Chen's illnesses will become more and more frequent like that little bitch Pu Lianyao said? "

Doctor Zhang couldn't answer why, so he could only stand on one side rubbing his hands.

"Grandma, I'm sorry..." Bai Muqing said with tears in her eyes, her face full of guilt: "It's all my fault. When we were at the beach this afternoon, the young master caught a cold. He just had a fever..."

The old lady raised her hand angrily and patted her on the top of the head, reproaching her: "Aren't you always the one who knows how to take care of Chen the best? How could you be so foolish as to accompany him to the beach and let him catch a cold!"

Bai Muqing lowered her head and cried softly.

Sister He put her arms around the old lady's arm and comforted her: "Old lady, don't blame the young lady at this time, the young lady is as sad as you when the young master is sick."

Having said that, the old lady still couldn't help complaining about her, because she was so anxious that she had to find someone to vent her anxiety.

Bai Muqing didn't care about being scolded by the old lady, didn't she know the old lady's personality?She was just worried that Nangong Chen would not be able to live for a month if he fell ill so frequently.

Bai Muqing was put on an IV, and the bedroom became quiet again.After the old lady scolded her, her attitude eased, she wiped her tears and said to Bai Muqing: "Mu Qing, you don't have to be so tired every time, let others watch Chen, you go to the opposite room to have a good rest."

Although she has always disliked Bai Muqing, besides her, the Nangong family now has Bai Muqing as the pillar, and she can see that Bai Muqing is the one who really treats Nangong Chen well.The last supporter of the Nangong family, she didn't want her to exhaust herself because of Nangong Chen's illness.

But Bai Muqing shook her head, sniffed and said, "Grandma, go to sleep, I want to watch over the young master myself."

"Young Madam, why are you bothering?" Sister He also comforted her.

"As long as I'm around, which time didn't I guard him? I'm not used to it if I'm not allowed to guard him." She smiled bitterly, and grabbed Nangong Chen's palm: "Eldest Young Master didn't wake up and I fell asleep." No way."

Seeing her persistence, the old lady had no choice but to let her go.

After the old lady left, the room became completely quiet. Bai Muqing stood by Nangong Chen's bed, looking at his pale and handsome face.She clenched his palm tightly, and said in distress: "Chen, you must wake up early tomorrow morning."
-
Although Nangong Chen was told to wake up earlier, Nangong Chen did not wake up as usual.

It was already nine o'clock when Bai Muqing woke up lying on the side of the bed. Logically speaking, Nangong Chen should have woken up by this time, but he didn't today.

She rubbed her eyes, grabbed his arm and shook it and called out in a low voice: "Chen, are you still awake? Chen."

Nangong Chen on the bed didn't respond, Bai Muqing became even more anxious, she touched his forehead with her palm hesitantly, and was slightly relieved after feeling his normal body temperature.

But she didn't feel completely relieved because of this, but hurriedly grabbed the phone on the bedside table and dialed Dr. Zhang's number.

Hearing that Nangongchen hadn't woken up at this point, Dr. Zhang immediately put down the phone and rushed to Nangongchen's bedroom.

When Dr. Zhang was examining Nangong Chen, Bai Muqing couldn't wait to ask, "What's going on with Dr. Zhang? Why hasn't Eldest Young Master woke up yet?"

Doctor Zhang pondered for a while, and said: "It's hard to say for the time being, if the young master doesn't wake up when he is young, then he can only be transferred to the hospital."

Bai Muqing nodded sadly, if it developed to the point where she was going to be sent to the hospital, it was time for her to be seriously ill.

In the next hour, the old lady was fidgeting downstairs, while Bai Muqing was sitting on pins and needles in front of Nangong Chen's bed. She didn't dare to leave Nangong Chen's cheek for a moment, for fear of missing his reaction.

When her time was close to ten o'clock, she even shook his palm anxiously and said: "Chen, wake up, if you don't wake up, I will send you to the hospital, I don't want to send you there..."

"Chen, did you hear what I said? I want you to wake up quickly!" She sobbed softly.

Probably feeling her sadness, Nan Gongchen woke up faintly at the last moment, his consciousness was slowly coming back, and Bai Muqing's anxious calling sounded in his ears.

Distressed, he turned the palm she was holding over and held her little hand.

Bai Muqing was originally lying on his arm, but when she felt his palm move, she was startled instinctively, and suddenly raised her head to look at him.

He woke up, he actually woke up.

Bai Muqing laughed out of excitement, stared at him and asked stupidly: "Chen, are you awake?"

"Otherwise? Do you think I'm cheating on the corpse?" Nangong Chen smiled.

"I was almost scared to death by you just now, and you still said such horrible words to scare me." Bai Muqing patted him angrily, and said with tears in her eyes, "I thought you would never wake up again."

"How come? Didn't I promise you that you would live a good life?"

"But look at what time it is now."

Nangong Chen looked up at the time on the wall, it was already ten o'clock, it was indeed a bit late, no wonder she was able to cry like this.

He raised his palm to wipe off the tears on her face, and said softly, "I'm sorry, it's my fault."

His sudden apology actually made Bai Muqing feel uncomfortable. She raised her hand and patted his palm, and said angrily, "I'll forgive you this time, but you can't do this next time, you know?"

"Okay, I see." Nangong Chen looked at her body and asked worriedly: "Mu Qing, did I hurt you last night?"

He remembered that he threw Bai Muqing onto the bed last night, and almost every time he got sick, he would hurt her, so he was very worried.

Bai Muqing shook her head: "I'm doing well, don't worry."

"Really? Take off your clothes and let me see." Nangong Chen was still scanning her body.

Bai Muqing hugged her body with both hands, glared at him and said angrily: "It's already this time, why are you still in the mood to flirt with good women?"

"At this time, you still have the mood to mislead others. It seems that you are really fine." Nangong Chen chuckled lightly.

The smile on Bai Muqing's face faded, she grabbed his palm and stared at her steadily: "You know what? Every time you get sick, the worst thing for me is not when you hurt me, but when I wait for you to wake up." Those times, like just now."

Nangong Chen looked at the wet tears in her eyes, and nodded his head distressedly: "I can see it." He raised his palm, stroked her face lightly and apologized: "I'm sorry, every time I get sick, I not only get hurt You, you still make you feel so uncomfortable..."

Bai Muqing grabbed his palm, held it in her hand and shook her head with a smile: "Chen, I'm not here to complain about you, I just feel sorry for you, and hope you get better soon."

Nangong Chen nodded.

Bai Muqing paused for a while, and then said: "It's all my fault for being ignorant, knowing that you are not in good health, and letting you stay by the seaside with your clothes wet for so long."

"I pushed you into the water."

"But if we went ashore early and went home early to change clothes, maybe you wouldn't have a fever."

"Honey, are we having an apology meeting now?" Nangong Chen pinched the tip of her nose with a smile: "Come on, help me up."

Bai Muqing leaned over and pulled her up from the bed, probably because she slept for too long, Nan Gongchen felt dizzy, and fell back on the bed as soon as she sat up.

"Chen, are you okay?" Bai Muqing asked anxiously.

Nangong Chen felt his body, and said with a serious face: "Oops! I can't sit up anymore. Could it be that I have reached the point where I can't take care of myself?"

Bai Muqing's face turned pale instantly, and she looked at him in astonishment: "Is it true that you can't get up?"

"Really." Nangong Chen rubbed his legs: "What should I do? I was disabled overnight, so go get me a wheelchair."

Bai Muqing's face became even paler and more anxious, and the tears in her eyes that were finally wiped away were also getting moist little by little.

Seeing that she was so frightened by him, Nan Gongchen finally couldn't bear to tease her anymore, turned over from the bed, picked her up high and let her sit cross-legged on his waist.

Bai Muqing let out a low cry from his fright, and when she looked down and saw him standing upright on the ground, she realized that she had been deceived.

She beat his shoulders with both hands and said angrily: "Damn! I thought it was true, I thought you were really disabled."

Nangong Chen supported her body firmly, kissed her on the chin, and said with a smile: "If I become disabled, will you abandon me?"

"Of course I will. I don't want to marry a husband who can see if he can't use it and is sick."

"Then why did you marry Qiao Feng?"

"Because he is better than you."

"I don't believe that he is better than me in any way." Nan Gongchen interrupted her, not giving her a chance to continue.

Bai Muqing hugged his neck with a smile, and said, "I think you just feel too good about yourself, and you won't admit defeat at any time."

Nangong Chen didn't take it seriously at all: "If I'm not good, why did you come back to take care of my sick and disabled body?"

"shameless."

"I will continue to be shameless..." Nangong Chen kissed her lips after speaking, then turned around and pushed her down on the bed.

While struggling, Bai Muqing patted Nangong Chen's shoulder and said, "Chen, don't be like this, your body is still weak, and you haven't had breakfast yet..."

"But I just want to eat you now." Nangong Chen kissed her earballs, and said ambiguously.

"No, do you want to get sick again, scare me again, and let me wait for you again?" Bai Muqing was afraid that she would lose her mind as usual after being seduced by him, after all, he just woke up from a coma. His body is weak, she can't be crazy with him!

And her words were really useful, Nangong Chen let go of her at once, and pulled her up from the bed: "Okay, I'll let you go this time."

"It's for letting yourself go." Bai Muqing glanced at him while pulling at the clothes he messed up.

Nangong Chen looked at her with a smile, and didn't continue to argue with her.

"Go wash and change quickly, I'll go down and prepare breakfast for you." Bai Muqing pushed him into the bathroom, then turned and went downstairs.

Downstairs, the old lady was running around in a hurry, Bai Muqing suddenly felt guilty for not coming down earlier to inform her about Nangong Chen's waking up, and before the old lady could ask her, she spoke first: "Grandma, the young master has woken up."

"Chen woke up?" the old lady happily asked.

Bai Muqing nodded: "Yes, I'm already awake."

"Is he all right?"

"It's good." Bai Muqing comforted her.

The old lady was still a little worried, and she finally felt relieved when she saw Nan Gongchen walking down the stairs.
-
Bai Muqing came to Qiao Feng's Luyuan Western Restaurant as scheduled, and Qiao Feng had already ordered a table of her favorite food.

She looked at the delicacies on the table, then looked at Qiao Feng and asked, "What day is it today?"

"It's not about any day, I just want to see if you are doing well." Qiao Feng looked at her: "I haven't seen you for a few days, you seem to have lost a lot of weight, I know you must not be in the mood to eat, but eat a little bit."

"Thank you." Bai Muqing nodded, "It's just right, I have something to tell you."

"what's up?"

"As for Wanqing, I plan to go and bring her back in the next few days." Bai Muqing looked at him and said hesitantly, "Ah Feng, I know you must be feeling uncomfortable, but after all, Wanqing is Nangong Chen's biological daughter. so.."

"So you want to take Wan Qing back to Nangong's house?" Qiao Feng interrupted her.

"Yes." Bai Muqing nodded: "I can see that Nangong Chen really wants a child, and I can also tell that he likes Wan Qing very much. I don't know if he can get through this, if he can't..." She The circles of his eyes turned red, and he said: "I hope he can have Wan Qing's company in the last time, I hope he can realize his wish to have his own children, I hope he understands that the Nangong family is not without successors, I don't want him Leave this world with regret."

More tears welled up from her eyes.

Qiao Feng looked at the worry on her face, and smiled bitterly: "If there is a woman in this life who is crying so sad because of me, I will definitely die like Nangong Chen and will not let go."

He took a tissue from the table and handed it over. Bai Muqing took the tissue and wiped away the tears from her eyes, apologetically, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to lose my composure in front of you."

"It's nothing, I was just talking casually."

Bai Muqing stabilized her emotions, then stared at him and asked, "Ah Feng, is it okay to return Wanqing to Nangongchen?"

Qiao Feng looked at her, then smiled: "If I say no, will you give up? Surely not, right?"

Wan Qing is the biological daughter of Nangong Chen and Bai Muqing, and now even Bai Muqing has returned to Nangong's family, what right does he have to force Wan Qing to stay?He knew that Bai Muqing's discussion with him was only out of respect for him, and she would definitely take the child back to Nangong's house.

Even if he forced him to stay, he would not even have a one-to-one chance of winning when he finally went to court. Instead, he would turn against Bai Muqing.

Bai Muqing lowered her head and fell silent.

Qiao Feng said again: "When do you plan to go there, do you go there in person?"

Bai Muqing nodded: "Otherwise, what else can I do?"

"Britain is not too close. It will take at least four days to stay here again and again. Are you sure you can let Nangong Chen go?"

Seeing her feeling silent, Qiao Feng said, "Let me help you bring her back."

"You?" Bai Muqing looked at him in surprise.

"Why? Are you worried?" Qiao Feng smiled self-deprecatingly: "Don't worry, since I agreed to return Wanqing to you, I won't play tricks on you again."

"No, that's not what I meant." Bai Muqing hurriedly shook her head: "I just think your legs are inconvenient, so I can't trouble you."

She paused, and then said: "Ah Feng, I'm already very sorry for you, I've troubled you very much, I can't trouble you any more, so I'd better go there myself."

Qiao Feng shook his head: "I never find it troublesome."

"But I think so." Bai Muqing apologized.
-
After breaking up with Qiao Feng, Bai Muqing booked a flight to England the next afternoon online. She would not be able to think of a reason to tell Nangong Chen such a thing, so she made an excuse to him at night and said: "Chen, I need to go out tomorrow afternoon, about three or four days, can you wait for me obediently at home?"

"I'm not obediently waiting for you at home. Is it possible that I still ran out to steal food?" Nan Gongchen stroked her back with his fingers and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I can't even afford the family food now, no Grind the public grain with all your strength."

He hugged her arm tightly, the feeling of being able to hold her but not eat was really hard, but his little wife always kept him out of the body to prevent him from expending too much energy and hurting his body.

"What I mean is, you have to cooperate with Dr. Zhang for treatment at home, and take good care of yourself so that you don't get sick. Where are you going?"

"Don't worry, I will be very good." Nan Gongchen nodded in promise, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked a question, so he propped up his body and looked at her and asked, "Where are you going? Why are you going?" so long?"

"I'm going to Yancheng." Bai Muqing made up nonsense.

"What are you going to Yancheng for?"

"Go see my mother and my brother." She continued to lie.

In fact, she didn't intend to go to see her mother and Xiaoyi at this time, she planned to wait for Nangong Chen's illness to come to an end, and then take Xiao Wanqing to Yancheng to meet them.

"I'll go with you."

"No, what if you get sick on the way?"

"How lonely you are going by yourself."

"It's only a two-hour flight, and we'll be there in no time."

"Then why did you go for so long? Do you want to live there for several days?" Nangong Chen hugged her tightly: "Don't stay so long, I will miss you."

"I'll miss you too." Bai Muqing put her hands on his handsome face and smiled, "Be patient, I will come back as soon as possible and bring you a gift, okay?"

"Is that the gift you talked about at the beach?"

Bai Muqing nodded: "I plan to give it to you early."

"May I reveal it first?" Nangong Chen said happily as he kissed, "It seems that you haven't given me a gift yet."

"Cough." Bai Muqing coughed lightly, and said, "I either don't give it away, or give it a huge surprise."

"Really?" Nangong Chen became even more impatient when she told her.

Following Bai Muqing's nod, he leaned down and kissed her: "Then I'll wait patiently, but to make up for the fact that I won't be able to see or hug you in the next three or four days, shouldn't you be tonight?"

"No!" Bai Muqing interrupted him forcefully.

"Yes, it must be done."

"Hey! Nangong Chen!" After a series of protests from her, Nangong Chen finally did not let her go, and subdued her domineeringly.

Knowing it would be like this, Bai Muqing sighed in her heart speechlessly, and could only let him go.
-
The next afternoon, Bai Muqing went to the airport alone.

While checking in, she unexpectedly ran into Qiao Feng at the airport, and Qiao Feng's complexion didn't look so good.

"Ah Feng, why are you here?" Bai Muqing looked around in surprise, then sized him up and asked.

"What about you? Didn't Nangong Chen come to see you off?" Qiao Feng also looked around behind her.

"He's in a hurry for the company, so I didn't ask him to deliver it." Bai Muqing said.

"It's fine if he didn't come." Qiao Feng forced a smile and said, "I decided to go to England with you. I was worried that he might misunderstand, so I didn't dare to contact you in advance."

"You want to go with me?" Bai Muqing was surprised, then she shook her hand and refused: "No need, I can go by myself."

"My ticket has already been booked, and besides, I haven't seen Luo Sai's family for a long time, and I want to go to get together." In order to make Bai Muqing accept the fact that he went together, Qiao Feng had to find such an excuse.

Sure enough, Bai Muqing could no longer refuse him, so she nodded and said: "Alright then, let's go there together."

The boarding time was coming soon, and the two went through the security check together and walked towards the boarding gate.
-
Nangong Chen couldn't send Bai Muqing to pick her up at the airport, so she had to ask Uncle Wang to take her to the airport, and then asked Assistant Lin to arrange for the company office in Yancheng to pick her up at the airport.

After a meeting came out, Nan Gongchen returned to the office.

Assistant Lin told him solemnly: "Young Master Chen, I recently received news that Director Lan has sold [-]% of his shares to Director Shen."

"What did you say?" Nangong Chen turned to stare at her and asked, "Why did Director Lan sell the shares to him?"

Assistant Lin thought for a while, and said, "I think it must be related to the company's recent rumors? Mr. Shen has been taking the opportunity to smear the company and your reputation, making people panic."

"Then why didn't Boss Lan sell the shares to me? Do you think my price is not as good as Shen's?"

"I don't know." Assistant Lin said: "I will continue to follow up and investigate this matter. May I ask if Young Master Chen would like to meet Director Lan in person?"

"Okay, arrange it tonight."

"Okay, I got it." Just as Assistant Lin was about to turn around and leave, Secretary Chen knocked on the door and came in. After glancing at Assistant Lin, he said to Nangong Chen, "Young Master Chen, Yancheng said they didn't receive a chance from Miss Yi." .”

"Didn't receive it?" Nangong Chen frowned: "Why is it so useless?"

"Sister Ling over there said that they went there alone, and carefully identified every outgoing passenger, but she didn't see Miss Yi, and Miss Yi's phone was always turned off." Secretary Chen After speaking, he glanced at Assistant Lin again, feeling a little guilty.

Nangong Chen picked up the phone on the table and dialed Bai Muqing's number, but he couldn't get through.
