098 Li Ling's Hatred and Conspiracy 6

His previously calm face instantly turned bright red, and a fleeting hint of embarrassment flashed across his face. He couldn't help but secretly marvel at how alert his wife was.

"No way, my dear wife! I love you so much, how could I possibly speak ill of you behind your back? You're really wronging me!"

As Mo Wenchen spoke, he hurriedly put on a pitiful, hurt expression, looking as wronged as a puppy that had been misunderstood by its owner.

Seeing Mo Wenchen's expression, Chu Jiuyue, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but freeze, and her whole body became a little stiff and uncomfortable.

She suddenly realized that she might have been stirring up trouble for no reason, and a faint sense of guilt welled up in her heart, making her feel rather embarrassed.

So she coughed lightly, trying to quickly change the subject, which was a little awkward.

"Hehe, um, does your leg still hurt? Do you need to rest for a bit?" Mo Wenchen listened to the other person's soft question and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, his wife didn't seem to intend to pursue the matter further, which truly relieved him.

Liu Zhigang, who had been silently following behind the two, looked astonished and incredulous.

He stared wide-eyed at the seemingly ordinary yet extraordinary couple in front of him, as if everything happening before his eyes was beyond his comprehension.

You know, in his impression, Brother Mo has always presented himself as a cold, aloof, and unsmiling figure. But now, this usually high and mighty person has shown such a gentle, considerate, and even somewhat cautious side, which is really hard to believe.

If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Liu Zhigang would never have believed that such a scene could exist in the world.

However, Mo Wenchen was completely unaware of the intense gaze behind him.

At this moment, all his thoughts were focused on Chu Jiuyue in front of him. He maintained his calm and composed demeanor and spoke softly to her.

Little did anyone know that beneath his calm exterior lay a turbulent inner world, a mixture of shyness and unease. Yet, thanks to the strong mental fortitude he had cultivated over the years, he managed to conceal these emotions deeply, preventing anyone from noticing.

"Look at you! I told you to stay home peacefully and comfortably to rest and recuperate, and what did you do? You went out and ran around without saying a word. Don't you know what kind of situation you're in right now?"

How dare you still have the mind to show off outside! If this causes your injury to worsen, I will absolutely not care about you anymore! Hmph, let the pain torment you to the point of death, and see if you will still be so careless about your body in the future.

"You're such a grown-up, how come you still cause so much trouble!"

Chu Jiuyue kept muttering to herself, her tone full of dissatisfaction and complaints, but anyone could easily perceive the deep worry and genuine concern contained within.

At this moment, the faint smile in Mo Wenchen's deep, pool-like eyes gradually grew stronger.
