Just as the car was about to hit her, a pair of strong arms suddenly protected her and threw her onto the lawn.
The speeding sports car swept past. Under the night sky, Mu Wan looked up in shock and saw a cold face.
"If you want to die, pay off your debts first!" There was a hint of anger in his cold voice.
Mu Wan looked up. Before she could see Gu Tingyuan's face clearly, he had already stood up and walked towards the residence without looking back.
Mu Wan stood rooted to the ground and watched as the tall figure disappeared into the distance.
Hadn't he left?
She thought of the words he had left behind. Even if she died, she had to pay off her debts. From the moment she married him, this life no longer belonged to her. Even if she died, she had to get Gu Tingyuan to agree!
Suddenly, Mu Wan felt like a walking corpse. Apart from her soul, nothing else belonged to her.
Looking at the villa in the distance, it seemed like she could only continue to investigate Gu Han after Gu Tingyuan left.
Then, she held her abdomen. She had momentarily forgotten about the pain from the shock earlier. Now that she had calmed down, she could not help but feel the pain again.
It was already very late when they returned to her residence. Thus, the servants had already left.
Mu Wan endured the pain and searched the kitchen. She wanted to find the brown sugar and ginger but she could not find anything after searching for a long time.
Since Gu Tingyuan did not leave, he should be in the master bedroom now. She did not want to go upstairs, so she curled up on the sofa and wrapped herself in a blanket, quietly waiting for the pain to ease.
However, the pain did not lessen as she had expected. Instead, it became more and more painful, causing her to break out in cold sweat.
Late at night.
Gu Tingyuan, who was in the master bedroom, was waiting for Mu Wan to return to the room, but she did not return. Finally, he could not help but leave the room.
When he was halfway down the stairs, he saw a slender figure curled up on the sofa alone with a frown.
Was she injured just now?
On the sofa, Mu Wan closed her eyes and did not notice the man's arrival.
"What's wrong with you?"
She only opened her eyes abruptly when that deep and magnetic voice sounded.
Seeing the man looking down at her from above, Mu Wan sat up from the sofa reflexively. Her face was pale and cold sweat dripped down her face.
In front of her, he was always indifferent and cold.
It was only autumn, but the air in the living room seemed to drop and freeze as he spoke.
"I'm fine," she answered calmly as she hung her head.
He said expressionlessly, "I said before, even if you want to die, you have to pay off your debts first."
Mu Wan took a deep breath and tried her best to get used to his cold and indifferent side.
Then, she looked up and met his gaze. "Don't worry, I won't die."
"That's for the best." He turned to leave.
Mu Wan suddenly stood up from the sofa. "Wait."
He stopped but did not turn back.
Under the light, his broad back was especially tall and good-looking.
Mu Wan pursed her lips and hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Well, the servants have gone to rest. Do you… know where the brown sugar and ginger are?"
She was in too much pain. In order to 'live' well in front of him, she could only speak to him, although she did not expect him to really answer her question.
However, there was always hope if she asked.
Gu Tingyuan turned around slightly, his dark eyes staring straight at her pale face.
She was uncomfortable not because she was injured, but because of her period?
After confirming that she was not injured, the spot on his chest felt a little more comfortable.
