Mr. Mu appears aloof in public, but secretly proposes marriage and kisses.

Su Muran stayed at the hospital for seven consecutive days to take care of Mrs. Su.

Professor Su was also there, and Su Yunge would come over every day after class.

With her husband and daughter by her side, Mrs. Su was in good spirits, which greatly benefited her recovery. Even the doctor said she recovered very well and was the most successful patient he had ever seen.

Of course, the medicine and diet given to Mrs. Su were also the best. All of this was specially arranged by Mu Tingshen, but he did not tell the Su family.

Professor Su has been in a good mood these past few days. Looking at her two daughters who are busy taking care of her, she said with relief, "Sure enough, your mother is recovering faster without that unfilial son bothering her."

Su Muran opened her mouth, but Su Yunge stopped her with a look.

After the two left, Su Muran said worriedly, "We haven't heard from Su Mingli for so long, aren't you worried at all?"

Su Yunge said, "He's an adult now, what's there to worry about? Didn't Dad say that Mom will recover faster without him? What, you have feelings for him? You miss him that much?"

"We grew up together. Although there are things about him that I hate, we are still like siblings. Besides, he is still my parents' child."

Su Muran spoke calmly and objectively.

Su Yunge pursed her lips and reminded her, "You'd better not say this in front of Mu Tingshen, lest he get jealous."

Why is he jealous?

Su Muran muttered softly.

Su Yunge shrugged and deliberately asked her, "What do you think?"

Su Muran immediately chimed in, "He already has a fiancée, so he has no right to be jealous."

Someone who doesn't show up for seven days in a row and only makes a phone call every day has no right to be jealous.

"Does he have the right to be jealous if he doesn't have a fiancée?" Su Yunge asked her with a smile.

Su Muran blushed and glared at her playfully.

"I have class, I have to go now."

Su Yunge checked the time and then said goodbye to her.

However, just as he drove away from the hospital, he was stopped by Chen Minrui at the gate.

"Yun Ge, I've finally waited for you."

Chen Minrui looked anxious, as if he had been waiting there for a long time.

Su Yunge rolled down the car window, looking at him with a cool gaze: "What is it?"

Chen Minrui clung to the car window, her voice urgent: "Yun Ge, something's happened to your brother."

Su Yunge's expression remained calm, without a trace of surprise. She said in a nonchalant tone, "He didn't even show up when my mother had surgery. My dad said to just pretend he's not his son. Whether he gets into trouble or not, we don't need to be notified."

Chen Minrui raised her voice in a panic: "Su Yunge, he's your own brother, how can you be so heartless?"

"If you have feelings, go and do what you want, why are you coming to me?"

Su Yunge closed the car window and sped away.

Chen Minrui was furious.

If he hadn't been unable to get into the hospital and contact his uncle, Professor Su, how could he have possibly blocked her?

"Ranran, I haven't seen Xiao Mu for the past few days. Is he very busy?"

After Mrs. Su finished her afternoon nap, she was chatting with Su Muran when she suddenly asked this question.

Su Muran was taken aback for a moment, then quickly explained, "He's been a bit busy, but he'll come over once he's finished with these next few days."

Mrs. Su said earnestly, "Since he's busy, you should stay by his side to help take care of him, instead of staying with your mother all the time. There are doctors, nurses, and the caregiver you hired here. Your father is here too, and Yun Ge comes every day. You should go back and help Xiao Mu. Couples should support each other when they encounter difficulties."

Professor Su also said, "Your mother is right. When your father was busy with work, your mother fully supported him. She didn't know how to cook before, but she specially learned to make porridge for me. Although... I got diarrhea after drinking it, your mother's affection for me touched me deeply. It was because of your mother's support that I had the motivation to get through the difficulties."

Su Muran thought to herself, "My situation with him is quite different from yours."

However, not wanting her parents to worry, she obediently nodded, said goodbye to them, and left the hospital to go home.

Mrs. Su watched Su Muran's departing figure and said with satisfaction, "Our Ranran is still so well-behaved and sensible, she hasn't changed at all."

Professor Su also said, "Yes, she looks so much like you, I still can't believe she's not our biological daughter."

Mrs. Su quickly said, "Yun Ge is also very well-behaved. Although she can be a little stubborn at times, and I'm even a little afraid of her, she's a sensible and good child."

Professor Su looked pleased and said, "I spoke with her teacher, who said she's very smart, just like my daughter, with the same qualities I had back then. The school wants to recommend her for graduate and doctoral studies so she can enter the scientific field in the future."

"That's wonderful. If Yun Ge can dedicate herself to scientific research, you'll have no regrets."

Mrs. Su held his hand with relief.

She knew that her son Su Mingli's resignation from the research institute was a deep wound in Professor Su's heart.

Professor Su's lifelong dream was to engage in scientific research, and he also hoped that his children would inherit this career.

She had thought there was no hope, but her daughter was so promising that she was naturally happy for her husband.

"You said Ranran looks like you, and Yunge looks like me. Could it be that Su Mingli was the one who was switched at birth?"

Professor Su suddenly had a brilliant idea and couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

Mrs. Su said speechlessly, "Mingli is our first child. She was born in the city hospital. I was the only one giving birth that day. How could the babies have been switched at birth?"

Unlike when she gave birth to her daughter, she was going on a research trip to a remote area with Professor Su and unexpectedly went into premature labor, giving birth at the county hospital.

That's why there's a chance of being switched at birth.

**********

When Su Muran returned home, Mu Tingshen was not there.

That's true; he's no longer the unemployed, poor guy he used to be. Naturally, he won't stay home all day waiting for her to come back like before.

I took out my phone, ready to call him.

Before I could even make the call, the doorbell rang.

Puzzled, he went to open the door, only to find that standing outside was Mu Tingshen's fiancée, Meng Shuyan.

"You live here?"

Meng Shuyan was also surprised to see her.

Su Muran asked her, "You came to my house, didn't you know I lived here?"

Meng Shuyan immediately said, "I had someone investigate, and they told me that this is where Mu Tingshen lives."

"It's also where I live, and the property certificate is in my name, but I haven't transferred the ownership to him yet."

Su Muran reminded him.

Meng Shuyan was taken aback, and her expression immediately turned awkward.

However, she quickly added arrogantly, "What kind of net worth does Mu Tingshen have? Would he care about your house? Besides, you're pretty useless. You're with him, yet you still live in your own house. Didn't he give you anything valuable?"

"Are you trying to gain the upper hand verbally by humiliating me, so you can feel that you're more important to him than I am?"

Su Muran remained calm, her gaze even carrying a hint of sympathy.

Meng Shuyan: "..."

She had never met a woman like Su Muran before; it was like punching cotton, only suffocating her.

"I came here today to see Mu Tingshen. Since he's not here, let's talk. However, I don't want to talk here; let's go somewhere else."
