When Mu Yichen came home, it was already past four in the afternoon. The Jing Family elders and Jing Qing had left, Feng Fanghua was playing with Huanhuan in the toy room, Mu Qingxin was still napping, and the old man was playing chess with his father.
"Why is it so quiet?"
Mu Yichen walked over and looked at their chessboard as he asked.
"Go upstairs and check on your wife; she went out this morning and hasn't left her room since getting back."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yichen's dark pupils flickered, and he lightly tapped the back of the couch with the back of his hand before striding upstairs.
She lay on the bed as though sleeping. Mu Yichen closed the door, sat down beside the bed, and inclined his body toward her, gently brushing away the hair from her face before noticing her red and swollen eyes.
Even the strongest heart can tremble, especially upon feeling the wetness of her hair under his touch.
"What happened?"
