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

Mu Tingshen took Su Muran to Ciai Hospital, but it was in a different area than Mrs. Su's, so there was no need to worry about being seen by Mrs. Su and Professor Su.

After examining the patient, the doctor said, "There's nothing seriously wrong with your body. The fever is caused by a psychological issue. I'll prescribe some medication, and you'll feel better after a good night's sleep."

After taking the medicine, Su Muran quickly fell asleep.

Mu Tingshen watched over her as she slept, making sure she wouldn't wake up anytime soon, before giving Su Yunge a meaningful look with a stern face, signaling her to come out with him.

"Who is the other party?"

Mu Tingshen questioned in a cold, deep voice.

Su Yunge replied in a low voice, "I knew him before. We bumped into each other a while ago. He knows I'm doing well now, so he got the idea to blackmail me. I don't know how he found my place this time, he just showed up at my door."

"You deliberately let Ranran see it?"

Mu Tingshen frowned deeply.

Su Yunge's body stiffened, and a humiliated expression appeared on her face.

"Mr. Mu, I know you're worried about Sister Muran. But what happened today was really a coincidence. I never intended to involve her. She just happened to come back to get something and bumped into me. I also didn't expect that she, who looks so frail, would have the courage to rush up and protect me."

Mu Tingshen's face showed a disdainful expression, clearly not believing her words.

Su Yunge met his cold gaze and said with a wry smile, "I know you don't believe me. I admit that I called you on purpose. But I really didn't intentionally arrange for her to witness this, and I certainly didn't expect her to help."

"That would be best."

Mu Tingshen stared at Su Yunge for a long while, making Su Yunge break out in a cold sweat, before continuing in a cold and deep voice, "I will have someone take care of that scoundrel who harassed you, but I don't want this to happen again."

After saying that, he turned and went back to the ward.

After he left, Su Yunge clenched her hands hanging by her sides, her eyes swirling with complex emotions. In the end, she could only give a bitter smile and turn to leave.

When Su Muran woke up, she saw Mu Tingshen sitting on the sofa next to her, working with his head down.

The ward was dimly lit by blackout curtains, which only accentuated his striking features and exceptional handsomeness.

Su Muran stared at him intently for a while, admiring him, when she suddenly remembered how handsome he was when she first met him.

So much so that she was blinded by lust and hastily registered her marriage with him without asking too many questions.

"woke up?"

Perhaps it was because Su Muran's gaze was too focused and intense that Mu Tingshen noticed. He looked up and met her direct gaze, then immediately closed his notebook.

Caught red-handed, Su Muran blushed with embarrassment and stammered awkwardly, "I... I just woke up, did I disturb you?"

Mu Tingshen was completely unaware that she was shy; all he felt for her was concern.

He quickly sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out to touch her forehead; the fever had subsided.

She breathed a sigh of relief and said gently, "It's not hot anymore. Does your arm still hurt? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, I feel fine. How's Yun Ge? She must have been scared too, right?"

"Don't worry, she's not that weak and won't be easily scared."

Ting Shen said dismissively.

After saying that, he realized he had spoken too harshly and, fearing Su Muran might misunderstand, added, "I've already sent someone to deal with that thug. He won't be allowed to cause any more trouble for Su Yunge."

Su Muran nodded, still shaken, and said, "I've never encountered anything like this before. My hands were shaking when I was holding the club."

Looking at her, Mu Tingshen felt another pang of heartache.

He reached out and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head as he whispered, "Don't be so impulsive in the future. When you encounter something like this, make sure you're safe first, and don't rush in to block others."

"I don't want to either," Su Muran whispered, leaning on his shoulder. "But Yun Ge isn't just anyone; she's my parents' biological daughter, my sister. Even if I'm scared, I can't just abandon her."

Mu Tingshen thought to himself, even if you don't care about her, she can handle this matter on her own with her survival skills.

"By the way, you didn't ask her what happened, did you?"

Su Muran pushed him away and then quickly asked.

Mu Tingshen said, "I didn't ask. I don't care about other people's business."

Su Muran breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you didn't ask. I didn't ask either. She must have suffered a lot in the past, and she must have many secrets she didn't want anyone to know."

Just like she also has secrets she doesn't want others to know, everyone has things they want to hide.

Outside.

Hearing these words, Su Yunge felt a mix of emotions, a tightness in her chest. She, who rarely shed tears, found her eyes reddening.

She stood at the door for a long time, but ultimately did not come in.

Back at Mrs. Su's place, an excuse was made for Su Muran, and neither Mrs. Su nor Professor Su suspected anything.

However, she secretly told Lin Xiaowei, who blurted out, "You didn't do that on purpose, did you?"

After saying that, he realized he had misspoke and looked a little embarrassed.

Su Yunge wasn't angry and calmly replied, "Whether you believe it or not, I have no ill intentions towards her."

"That's not what I meant, don't be angry."

Lin Xiaowei timidly apologized.

"Go see her!"

Su Yunge nodded, signaling her to leave.

Lin Xiaowei arrived at Su Muran's ward and went straight in without knocking.

"Mu Ran, I heard you... uh, sorry to bother you."

Su Muran was half-lying in Mu Tingshen's arms, her face flushed and her hair disheveled, clearly indicating that something had just happened.

Mu Tingshen turned his head, his face dark and his gaze sharp, as if he wanted to devour Lin Xiaowei alive.

Lin Xiaowei blushed with shame, hurriedly apologized, and quickly closed the door and left.

Two minutes later, Mu Tingshen came out.

Lin Xiaowei lowered her head nervously, not daring to look at him.

"I have to go now. I'll leave this to you. Call me if you need anything."

Mu Tingshen's voice was cold and hard, his tone still carrying lingering displeasure. After speaking, he left.

Lin Xiaowei didn't dare to look up until she heard the elevator doors close.

He breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and muttered to himself, "That aura was so strong, it was terrifying."

She composed herself before going back into the ward.

"Mu Ran, are you alright? I really didn't mean to. Su Yunge only told me you were here, she didn't say Mu Tingshen was here too."

Su Muran replied shyly, "I'm fine. I didn't need to be hospitalized at all, but he insisted that I stay overnight."

Lin Xiaowei smiled and teased, "This shows that Mr. Mu cares about you. You two have such a good relationship now, it looks so sweet."

"No, but... he does... really like physical contact."

Su Muran swore that she only wanted to hug Mu Tingshen and had no other thoughts.

She didn't know why they ended up hugging each other.

If Lin Xiaowei hadn't suddenly barged in, she couldn't imagine what would have happened next.

"Mr. Mu seems like a cold and aloof person, but I didn't expect him to be so clingy in private. But this also shows that he genuinely likes you. Otherwise, a man like him could find any woman he wants, why would he always look at you like he's never satisfied?"

"My parents didn't suspect anything, did they?"

Su Muran felt embarrassed to continue the topic and quickly changed the subject.
