Mu Shiyan continued to eat lunch.

Auntie brought him a bowl of nourishing soup and asked, "Has Madam taken her medicine?"

Mu Shiyan replied, "I ate it."

The aunt smiled kindly and said, "Madam must be feeling unwell when she is sick. Thank you for your concern."

Mu Shiyan said indifferently, "I'm not a doctor, I can't treat illnesses."

Auntie disagreed, "When a person is sick, psychological needs are more important."

Mu Shiyan was about to laugh, "You mean she needs me?"

When you are sick, the person you instinctively need psychologically should be the one you like, not yourself, the person you don't like.

Auntie really likes Su Yunxi and secretly wants to help her. Besides, Madam Mu has explicitly stated that she will pay attention to the situation of Mu Shiyan and Su Yunxi and create opportunities for them.

"Master, you are husband and wife, you are already married, so get along well with each other. If you don't have feelings for each other, try to cultivate them."

Mu Shiyan's face showed no obvious emotion. "Who taught you? My mother, or Su Yunxi?"

Auntie said embarrassedly, "No, I was just talking nonsense."

She quickly retreated to the kitchen, not daring to say anything more in front of Mu Shiyan.

Mu Shiyan finished his meal leisurely and went upstairs to see Su Yunxi. She was sleeping soundly under the effect of the medicine.

After returning to the study, Lei Ming reported to Mu Shi'an, "There was a problem with the project in Lancheng. Mu Shi'an rushed there in person. It can't be solved in a short time. He will have to stay there for at least half a month."

Mu Shi'an was courting death by kidnapping Su Yunxi and coercing Mu Shiyan, so of course Mu Shiyan had to create some trouble for him.

It has nothing to do with caring about Su Yunxi. What’s important is that Mu Shiyan cannot be threatened by anyone.

Lei Ming added, "Mr. Su really wants to participate in the Gulf project and is looking for connections everywhere! Maybe he'll find Miss Su eventually."

Su Mingde went to Su Yunxi, just to use the grace of raising her to force Su Yunxi. What else could Su Yunxi do? He was just asking Mu Shiyan for help!

"Do you think Su Yunxi really wants me to reject Su Mingde? Not let the Su family get involved?" Mu Shiyan asked casually.

Lei Ming spoke frankly, "Miss Su was forced to marry you. She doesn't like you, and given her personality, she doesn't want to be too involved with you. So she probably really wants you to reject Mr. Su."

She doesn't like him, so she doesn't ask anything of him, and she won't even use her status to ask him to do anything for her.

When you have nothing to owe and can end the marriage, you can withdraw cleanly.

Mu Shiyan sneered with an unclear expression, "How do you know she's not playing tricks on me? She's saying she wants me to refuse, but she's actually trying to win my favor and then find the right opportunity to make me agree?"

Lei Ming said, "Miss Su is a smart person, but she is not the kind of person who would play such tricks on you."

Mu Shiyan asked, "How did she bribe you?"

Lei Ming, "Why do you have such a strong prejudice against her? Is it because she is the marriage partner arranged for you by your wife?"

Mu Shiyan did not deny it.

Lei Ming smiled and said, "Master, it must be very unfair for the girl to be forced to marry you!"

Mu Shiyan, "She can choose not to marry."

Lei Ming, "She doesn't seem to have a choice?"

Mu Shiyan, "..."

Su Yunxi is really great. Aunt Qiong speaks for her, and Lei Ming also speaks for her!

……

Su Yunxi, who was not feeling well, had no idea what Mu Shiyan was guessing about her behind her back.

She was woken up by the heat. Her whole body was covered in sticky sweat, and she felt sore and weak, as if she had been in a fight and was thrown into the water.

She got up and went into the bathroom to take a hot bath. Her strength gradually recovered and she became more alert.

After changing into dry pajamas, Su Yunxi had her half-dry hair loose, and the big bed was a little messy.

She must have caught a cold and had a fever, but she didn't expect to wake up in Mu Shiyan's bed.

When Su Yunxi came downstairs, her aunt's eyes lit up when she saw her. She came up to her and asked, "Madam, are you feeling better?"

"I'm much better," Su Yunxi replied with a dry throat and a smile.

The aunt poured her some water and said with concern, "Young Master asked a doctor to come home and see you. He said you probably caught a cold while sleeping. Even though it's summer, you can't stay too cool. You have to be more careful in the future."

Su Yunxi felt much better after drinking the water to moisten her throat, and responded gently, "Okay."

The aunt smiled and said, "You are not feeling well. The young master is very worried about you. He has called a doctor and given you medicine."

Su Yunxi was a little dazed holding the cup of water. She asked the doctor if he could understand. Mu Shiyan was feeding her medicine?

The aunt kept rambling, "The eldest young master has a very good temper, but it's been a little worse recently. But he is still gentle by nature, and you are his wife. Even though he doesn't say it, he cares about you in his heart..."

Su Yunxi, "..."

Did Auntie have any misunderstandings about her and Mu Shiyan? Mu Shiyan was harsh in his words and ruthless in his heart.

Su Yunxi interrupted her with a smile, "Aunt Qiong, I'm hungry. Can you cook me a bowl of noodles? A simple vegetarian noodles will do."

Afraid that she would be hungry, her aunt hurried to the kitchen to cook noodles for her. It was ready quickly. Su Yunxi ate them in small bites and drank some water before going upstairs to find Mu Shiyan.

Working at home always gives you more freedom.

Mu Shiyan was not busy, but looking at the scenery outside the window. There were books and coffee on the round table next to him.

The evening sun is less scorching and more brilliant, shining into the room through the glass windows, with warm, quiet and soft colors.

"Mr. Mu, I'm sorry. I was so feverish that I slept in your bed," Su Yunxi apologized sincerely.

"Is it clean?" Mu Shiyan asked.

"I've used up too much energy and I'm hungry. I'm going downstairs to eat something to replenish my energy. I'll help you clean up later," Su Yunxi answered him truthfully.

Mu Shiyan looked away, "Miss Su, you are really weak."

He probably disliked her being sick and bothering him. Su Yunxi said awkwardly, "It's just an isolated incident. I'll try to avoid it in the future."

Mu Shiyan didn't comment, and Su Yunxi didn't bother him much. She went back to the room, changed the sheets and quilt covers, put on new ones, tidied them up, and then sent the changed ones to the laundry room.

After taking the medicine, she started sweating and felt much better. She called Ye Wanrou to ask about her class, and then went to the kitchen to help her aunt prepare dinner.

In order to thank Mu Shiyan for taking care of her, Su Yunxi cooked most of the dishes, with her aunt just giving her some pointers.

Auntie said a few nice words on Su Yunxi's behalf in front of Mu Shiyan, but she didn't dare to say more for fear of causing Mu Shiyan's disgust.

Mu Shiyan was dining elegantly. When he looked up, he could see the woman opposite him. Unlike the delicate woman she was when she was sick, she was gentle and quiet at this moment.

"If you want to please me, you don't have to bother trying to curry favor with the people around me. I'm not the kind of person who can change their opinion of you just because people around me say a few nice things about you."

Su Yunxi pondered his words and said slowly, "The two years I've lived abroad have made me realize how important cooking is as a survival skill. Aunt Qiong is a great cook, and I'm interested in learning from her, not just to please you."

She added, "Of course, I'm cooking tonight as a thank you."

Just as Mu Shiyan had thought before, Su Yunxi didn't want to owe him anything, so when she was sick and he took care of her, she immediately cooked a meal to repay him.

Mu Shiyan's eyes were deep, with a faint, cold smile on his lips. "Can you calculate each and every one clearly so that you can draw a clear line between you and me in the future? Then tell me, you took the 200 million betrothal gift from our Mu family, how are you going to pay it back?"
