After being reborn, the aloof female CEO became a paranoid.

The moment Chu Yu's fingers touched Mu Chenxi's thigh, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and she almost couldn't help but tremble.

That warm touch, like a ray of sunshine in summer, instantly ignited a fire in her heart.

However, Chu Yu, the "instigator," was completely unaware of this. He focused on massaging her, his fingers tracing the contours of her legs inch by inch, occasionally letting out a puzzled "hmm" sound, as if he were searching for something.

Then he would continue to press and knead, his movements gentle yet firm.

Mu Chenxi felt the strange touch, and the heat in her body continued to rise, as if she had a high fever.

She couldn't sleep anymore, her heart filled with mixed feelings—shyness, anticipation, and a strange flutter of excitement.

Chu Yu withdrew his hand, his brows furrowed, lost in thought. Mu Chenxi's leg condition was different from his father's. Her leg muscles hadn't atrophied; in fact, they felt quite elastic, making treatment much easier.

However, after pressing several acupoints, her legs showed no reaction. Perhaps it was simply a blockage in the meridians, without causing irreversible damage.

Thinking of this, Chu Yu felt a surge of confidence. Since he could cure his father's leg with acupuncture, Mu Chenxi's symptoms were even milder, so she should also be able to be treated with acupuncture.

He decided to give her a few acupuncture needles while she was asleep. When she woke up and found it effective, she would naturally trust his acupuncture skills.

He quickly opened his acupuncture kit, took out a needle, measured it a couple of times, and felt it wasn't thick enough, so he replaced it with a thicker one.

He murmured to himself, "Mr. Mu, it might hurt a little, please bear with it."

After he finished speaking, he realized that the person was clearly still asleep and had no idea that he was in pain.

Just as he was about to insert the needle into the acupoint, Mu Chenxi, who had been fast asleep, suddenly rolled over and turned her back to him. This made it impossible for him to insert the needle.

Chu Yu rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. After confirming that she hadn't woken up, he tiptoed around to face her. But the distance was too great; he couldn't reach her at all.

Left with no other choice, Chu Yu had to bite the bullet and quietly climb into bed.

Looking at her sleeping face, his ears burned, and he muttered to himself, "I'm sorry for offending you, but I'm doing this for your own good."

Just as he was about to insert the needle again, Mu Chenxi suddenly opened her eyes, her dark eyes fixed on him, flashing with a light he couldn't understand.

The next second, her hand firmly grabbed his ankle. Chu Yu was caught off guard, lost his balance, and fell heavily onto the soft bed.

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere instantly became subtle and tense.

Chu Yu struggled to get up, but Mu Chenxi held him tightly, her eyes filled with both anger and confusion.

"Mr. Chu, why are you breaking into my room so late at night? Do you intend to do something to me?"

Mu Chenxi's voice carried a hint of questioning, but also a touch of mockery.

Chu Yu's heart skipped a beat, his eyes flickered, but he forced himself to remain calm and said, "President Mu, you've misunderstood. I can explain."

"Given the current situation, what explanation is there?"

Mu Chenxi shook her head gently, a helpless smile playing on her lips.

"I was really startled just now. I used all my strength to grab you, and now I'm even weaker. Even if you wanted to do something to me, there's nothing I could do!"

Chu Yu was speechless and tried to break free, but his hand was pressed down by Mu Chenxi's head, and his other hand was also tightly gripped by her, making him unable to move.

He dared not use force, fearing he might actually hurt her, so he could only move his body inch by inch, trying to find a suitable angle to escape.

However, during this process, their bodies inevitably rubbed against each other, and Chu Yu's hot breath fell all over Mu Chenxi's face.

Mu Chenxi's breathing became heavy, but Chu Yu was completely unaware, his mind only focused on how to escape this awkward situation.

"Mr. Mu, are you feeling unwell? You don't look well."

Chu Yu finally found a chance to escape, sat up, and asked with concern.

Mu Chenxi glared at him, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

Does this man really not understand her feelings? Thinking of the advice Qin Yue had given her, she couldn't help but feel secretly regretful. Now, she had no choice but to face the situation alone.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, her voice tinged with helplessness.

"It's alright, help me sit up."

Upon hearing the sound, Chu Yu stepped forward and carefully supported her arm, helping her to sit up slowly.

The distance between them suddenly closed, and he could clearly smell the faint fragrance emanating from her, which stirred a strange feeling in his heart.

The next second, the lights came on.

The warm yellow light created a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere in the bedroom.

After Mu Chenxi sat down, she glanced at Chu Yu with a complicated look, a half-smile playing on her lips. She coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Chu, you have to give me an explanation for what happened tonight."

Although Chu Yu felt somewhat guilty, he straightened his back and spoke with sincerity and determination, remembering that he was doing it for her own good.

"I was being reckless. I shouldn't have entered your room without your permission. I apologize. However, I had my reasons for doing so."

"Mr. Mu, have you forgotten our previous agreement? I promised to cure you, but we've lived together for so long, and I don't even know anything about your condition. You've helped me so many times, but I haven't been able to keep my promise even once, which makes me feel terrible."

A playful glint flashed in Mu Chenxi's eyes, and a teasing smile curled at the corners of her lips.

"Oh? So, you sneaked into my room in the middle of the night, planning to give me a 'midnight treatment'?"

Chu Yu looked embarrassed and wished he could disappear into the ground.

He really only wanted to treat her secretly while she was asleep, but he never expected to be caught red-handed, making it seem as if he had some improper thoughts about her.

"President Mu, I swear, I really have no improper thoughts about you whatsoever."

Chu Yu raised his hand, making a vow gesture, and looked at Mu Chenxi with a sincere expression.

However, Mu Chenxi's expression did not improve; instead, it became even more gloomy. She looked at Chu Yu, her tone filled with dissatisfaction and doubt.

"If I still refuse your treatment, are you planning to continue this 'sneaky' approach?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yu's heart tightened, and he quickly explained:

"Mr. Mu, you've misunderstood. Didn't you invite a doctor to your home this afternoon? So I thought, you also want to recover, right? So why can't you trust me?"

Seeing Chu Yu's sincere expression, Mu Chenxi couldn't help but waver. She truly wanted to regain her health, but she...

Just then, a knock on the door interrupted their conversation.

Mu Chenxi's face instantly turned gloomy, while Chu Yu felt relieved, as if he had found an excuse to escape this awkward situation.

"I'll open the door."

As Chu Yu spoke, he strode towards the door. Just as he opened it, he heard Qin Yue's urgent voice: "President Mu, there's something important..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qin Yue noticed Chu Yu in the room and immediately sensed that something was off.

She smiled awkwardly and said, "Excuse me, please continue."

After saying that, he ran away in a flash.

Watching Qin Yue's retreating figure, Chu Yu knew that this misunderstanding was definitely huge. He didn't dare to linger any longer and quickly said goodbye to Mu Chenxi.

"Mr. Mu, I'm leaving too. Goodnight."

After saying that, he left her bedroom without looking back.

Behind him, Mu Chenxi slowly curved her lips into a smile, her eyes shimmering with a gentle yet complex light...
