Li Xiaoyi had replaced Wu Jinyan, finished the music video and confirmed the time for her surprise comeback in the next few days. She was delighted. However, her only disappointment was that Mu Feng never replied to her calls or messages and didn't appear in the MV.
But she heard nothing like a threat from Gu Zihao that could make her lose her sleep. It was out of her expectations, hence she guessed nothing went wrong with his artist.
She threw all the worries about that injured woman aside and grinned from ear to ear as she heard from the private detective she hired. The news of the absence of any woman in Gu Zichen's villa since the day she met that so-called Mrs Gu. This simple tip was enough for her heart to leap out of her chest in joy.
As she expected, that nightmarish woman she saw in Gu Corporation was just a street actress hired by Gu Zichen to act as his wife. She knew Gu Zichen loved only her.
"Gu Zichen, I know you are just playing hard.. huh? Let's see how long you'll keep avoiding me.." Li Xiaoyi laughed heartily as she scrolled through the internet to look at the latest entertainment news when one particular article made her frown in displeasure. Li Xiaoyi wondered if Mu Feng was deliberately playing with her. He already backed out from her MV filming. He was also making a comeback in the same time frame as her. If he wasn't messing with her then what could it be?
...
Simultaneously, Gu Zichen ordered Chen Fei to bring all the necessary documents to the hospital. His company couldn't get into chaos due to his absence. He looked after Wu Jinyan and his work staying in the hospital. His wife and the employees were his responsibility and he couldn't slack off at such a critical time.
He put all his efforts and time into accompanying Wu Jinyan so she could feel his presence around her. Why? Was he worried about her? Maybe.
He didn't even know when he started to be concerned about her. Her pale, sick face made him feel a mix of emotions which he never felt before like uneasiness, unhappiness and uselessness.
He even mistook his feelings on seeing her in a coma for affection and love at one point. He just missed her cute and animated expressions. Nothing more. He was sure of it.
The only thing he strongly wished was for her to wake up. He wanted to see the glimmer in her eyes again when she stared at him with her infatuated eyes, unlike the cold glare she gave him that caused chills to run down his spine.
Everything was the same as before with no promising improvement in her condition until one morning, a man barged into the room despite the strong blockade maintained by the security outside the room.
Gu Zichen was reading files on his tablet when he heard the door open.
"Why are Mom and Dad suddenly pestering me to let them meet her?" He said without even turning around thinking it was his brother Gu Zihao. But the voice he heard was different.
"Of course, they'll pester you since their beloved Feng already hinted to them that their daughter-in-law was sick but their son is hiding her from them" Mu Feng tapped his shoulders and praised himself for doing a good job.
'When did this monkey return?' Gu Zichen turned around and saw a young man with a radiant face and tall stature, staring at him with a wide grin. He stood and walked towards the man to take the flowers from the uninvited guest, but his approach was swiftly evaded.
Mu Feng walked past Gu Zichen and placed the flowers on the table beside the patient's bed. He was entirely unconcerned about Gu Zichen. He just stared at the woman's pale face and thought how she must have felt after marrying an ice-cold, heartless man. She must have felt suffocated. No wonder, she didn't wake up even after a week.
Mu Feng stared at the several tubings attached to her body and felt as though needles were pricking at his heart walls. He lifted his hands and caressed Wu Jinyan's cheek with a longing gaze. He held her hand with his eyes still on her pale face.
Watching the uninvited guest's abrupt intimate actions with his wife made Gu Zichen uneasy. He didn't know the reason for Mu Feng's visit to Wu Jinyan or their exact relationship but he was already generous by not kicking him out.
"Don't you know how to respect elders?" Gu Zichen asked in anger. He's three years older than Mu Feng, of course, he should be respected.
"Why should I respect a wicked man who married an innocent girl when he already had someone else in his heart?" Mu Feng lost his patience and retorted with anger.
"You..."
Mu Feng did what he intended to do from the beginning and stopped bothering about Gu Zichen's monologue.
He occupied the bedside chair.
"Just as you wanted, I decided to do music again" Mu Feng mumbled as he looked at the woman lying on the bed like a lifeless doll. He just hoped to see her smile, with him making her biggest wish come true.
If not for her persistent taunting, he would have forgotten that he was a musician who brought waves of emotions to strike people's hearts, making them cry.
He finally wrote a song for her. The sensation he felt while writing the music wasn't bad. He felt relaxed and much better. Was it because he wrote the song for her?
He was sure she was the reason for the peacefulness he experienced while holding a guitar. He didn't have to struggle like he did before meeting her.
"Don't you always want to hear me sing again? If you don't wake up I'll release the song immediately and let the whole world listen to it before you do" Mu Feng spoke once again hiding the tears that threatened to fall at any moment. He then placed AirPods into Wu Jinyan's ears and tapped on his mobile screen to play a track.
