The master went down the mountain and met the beautiful CEO's fiancée

"Where have you been?"

The sudden question made the two men a little flustered, and they quickly stood up.

"Nothing, we were looking for something, and suddenly a mouse jumped out, and I sprained my ankle."

Mu Wanqiu explained casually.

"Sprained ankle? Is it serious?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xiruo didn't have time to think about it. She hurried forward to check, with a worried look on her face.

Mu Wanqiu shook her head: "It's not a big problem. It should be fine after two days of rest."

"I don't know if you've injured any bones. I'll help you upstairs and apply some medicine on you."

Zhao Xiruo helped Mu Wanqiu upstairs.

"Actually, I can cure Auntie's foot. How about I..." Yun Chen said as he watched the two of them go upstairs.

Because of the embarrassing scene just now, Mu Wanqiu was too embarrassed to let him see it. Before he could finish, she hurriedly said, "No need. It's probably just a sprain. You go and do your work first. Xiaochen, don't you still need to refine the medicine?"

"Okay, call me if you need anything."

Yun Chen watched the two people disappear at the end of the stairs before he looked away.

……

In the room, Zhao Xiruo helped Mu Wanqiu sit on the bed, took out the medicine box, and carefully applied medicine to Mu Wanqiu.

Mu Wanqiu sat on the bed with a look of relief on her face. Looking at her daughter's focused look, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Ruoruo, how do you feel about Yunchen now? Do you like him?"

Zhao Xiruo was applying medicine. When she heard this, she paused slightly: "Mom, why are you asking this suddenly?"

Mu Wanqiu smiled, her eyes filled with reminiscence. "Xiaochen had a miserable life. He lost his mother when he was born. After his mother passed away, the Yun family came to cancel the engagement. It was me who insisted...that's why we didn't cancel it. All these years, I've been worried that you would blame me, hate me..."

"Mom, what are you talking about? How could I hate you?" Zhao Xiruo spoke quickly, interrupting Mu Wanqiu.

"Then do you like him?" Mu Wanqiu smiled and asked, staring at her.

Zhao Xiruo blushed slightly: "Mom, I don't know either. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Xiaochen is very outstanding and has a bright future. If you like him, then Mom will be happy to bless you. But if you don't like him... then Mom also supports you breaking off the engagement."

As she spoke, Mu Wanqiu sighed and slowly said, "As for the Zhang family, don't worry. Without my approval, your father wouldn't dare marry you to Zhang Yuanlong... So I want to hear your most honest thoughts... Otherwise, it would be unfair to both you and Yun Chen."

"Mom, this...I..."

Zhao Xiruo was a little embarrassed, lowering her head with a blush on her face.

Mu Wanqiu smiled, but her tone was extremely serious: "You don't have to answer me now. I'll give you time to think about it, but once you tell me the answer, you can't regret it anymore. Do you understand?"

Zhao Xiruo looked at her mother in surprise. For some reason, she felt that her mother was a little strange now.

"Okay, I see."

After a moment's silence, Zhao Xiruo nodded, then stood up and left the room.

Looking at her leaving back, Mu Wanqiu's temperament suddenly changed, and her eyes gradually became deeper.

As she raised her hand, an invisible energy condensed in her palm.

Then, she placed her hand on her sprained ankle.

A strand of true energy flowed through her fingers into her ankle and began to flow over the skin of her ankle.

But in just a moment, the bruise on her ankle had healed.

"I've been dormant for over twenty years. I don't know if dragging Xiaochen into this... is right or wrong."

Mu Wanqiu sighed softly, then stood up and walked towards the wardrobe, opening a document hidden in a compartment...

……

Downstairs, Yun Chen was still trying to refine the Qi Gathering Pill.

Because he didn't have a furnace, the effect was not very good, but fortunately, after several hours of hard work, he finally succeeded in refining three Qi Gathering Pills of good quality.

"Three, plus the Soul-Restoring Pills I made earlier, should be enough... I just don't know how much they can sell for."

He put away the three Qi Gathering Pills and looked at the time. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

Looking at the dark sky outside, he muttered softly to himself, and then prepared to go back to his room to rest.

Ever since the first day he moved in and Mu Wanqiu arranged for him to share a room with Zhao Xiruo, he has never moved out.

Because he didn't do anything inappropriate and just hugged her at night, Zhao Xiruo didn't drive him away.

In the room, Zhao Xiruo tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, and kept thinking about what her mother had said to her.

Does she like Yunchen?

She doesn't know either.

After the accidental night, she actually didn't have any feelings for Yun Chen. The reason she agreed to the marriage proposal was more to reject her father's forced marriage.

At least that's what she really believed.

But after spending a few days together recently, she discovered...she did have a certain degree of dependence on Yun Chen.

Especially today, when she heard that Qin Yuelan and Fan Yuanshan were going to marry their daughter to Yun Chen, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Qin Yuelan invited Yunchen to attend the auction, and she wanted to go with her without hesitation, but she was afraid that Yunchen would be deceived by Qin Yuelan...

"What are you thinking about? Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

She was lost in thought when suddenly a voice rang in her ears, startling her.

"Why didn't you knock on the door when you came back? You scared me to death!"

After seeing clearly who it was, Zhao Xiruo breathed a sigh of relief and glared at him reproachfully.

Yun Chen shrugged helplessly: "How should I know you weren't asleep? Are you still so engrossed in your thoughts?"

As he spoke, Yun Chen lay down with a smile, looking at Zhao Xiruo with an ambiguous gaze, and said with a wicked smile: "What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about your husband? Can't sleep without your husband?"

"cut!"

Zhao Xiruo rolled her eyes at him and said stubbornly, "Who misses you? Stop being so sentimental!"

"If you don't want to, forget it!" Yun Chen muttered, and reached out to hold her in his arms.

"Hmph!" Zhao Xiruo curled her lips, turned her back to Yun Chen and closed her eyes.

Yun Chen has been holding her in his arms while she sleeps these days. She has gotten used to it and even becomes a little dependent on this feeling. She can sleep soundly every night.

But tonight, I don’t know why, I just can’t sleep.

"Yun Chen, are you asleep? I want to talk to you..."

After a while, Zhao Xiruo couldn't help but speak out and broke the silence.

However, the only response she got was the sound of calm breathing.

Zhao Xiruo was a little confused. She turned around and looked at Yun Chen's sleeping face. Her brows furrowed slightly, and a sense of shame and anger inexplicably surged in her heart.

"This bastard...he fell asleep so quickly while holding me?"

"Am I so bad? After all, I'm a famous goddess in Longzhou, okay?"

She murmured, feeling a little depressed, but didn't want to wake him up, so she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
