Dongfang Mo had predicted that Xi Yuancheng would be visiting him soon because of it. Xi Yuancheng would surely be afraid of offending Nangong Xun. However, Dongfang Mo did not expect it to happen so soon.
Looking at the text message Uncle Liu sent him, he knew that Nangong Xun was already downstairs.
"Honey, it's time to get up!"
Dongfang Mo lowered his head and exhaled at Mu Ru, who was like a kitten in his arms. It was purely a playful mood.
Xi Muru, who had been sleeping soundly, was tickled by this sudden heat. She instinctively moved closer towards Dongfang Mo. She impatiently raised her hand and rubbed her eyes and yawned sleepily. She continued to sleep without even opening her eyes.
Her hand landed casually on Dongfang Mo's neck. In an instant, Xi Muru's eyes opened.
She pulled back her hand like it had touched a piece of burning charcoal. She stared blankly at Dongfang Mo, who was hugging her, but she could not say a word.
She remembered that she had been locked up in the detention room the night before.
She did not remember how she was brought out of there. Most importantly, she had no idea how she got to the bedroom.
She was shocked and confused, because she realized that she had been asleep on the bed with Dongfang Mo.
What was going on?
How did she get out of the detention room?
How did she get upstairs?
Dongfang Mo clearly did not want to discuss it with her.
Dongfang Mo saw how stunned Mu Ru looked upon waking up. He assumed that she became afraid at the sight of him.
Calmly, he said, "I am your husband. That is already an indisputable fact, so you had better let yourself adapt to my appearance, because you may have to live with my appearance for the rest of your life."
Mu Ru finally came back to her senses, but she didn't say anything.
It wasn't the first time she had seen him like that, and she wasn't afraid anymore. She had also seen him quite often in the past few days, so she had gradually gotten used to how he looked.
She slid down from his body very naturally. She was puzzled as to how he got onto the bed. She knew that he was unable to walk.
He moved around in a wheelchair, so how was he going to get off the bed?
"Why are you still lying there like a fool?" Dongfang Mo asked her.
Dongfang Mo's face darkened when he saw that she wasn't going to do anything.
"Since you're awake, why aren't you helping me get to my wheelchair? Do you want me to fly towards the wheelchair?"
Only then did Mu Ru come to her senses. She raised her head to look at the large windows. The bright sunlight shone through them. It indicated that it was already quite late.
She quickly got up. Fortunately, she was still wearing what she wore the previous day. Although they were wrinkled, it proved that Dongfang Mo had not violated her. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Dongfang Mo's wheelchair was not far away. She quickly ran over and pushed it to his bedside.
Just as she was about to ask if she could help, Dongfang Mo placed his hands on the edge of the bed. He lifted up his lower body and slowly put his two stiff legs into the wheelchair.
Mu Ru watched with a painful heart when she realized how pitiful he really was.
Dongfang Mo was her husband. He was someone she wanted to live with for the rest of her life. However, it was quite difficult to watch him.
Seeing that he was already seated, she quickly went over to push him to the bathroom so he could wash up. Suddenly, Dongfang Mo coldly stopped her.
He told her that he would go back to his room to wash up and that she could continue sleeping if she had nothing to do. He told her that she didn't need to go to school anyway.
