A whirlwind marriage leads to doting affection; the husband pampers her every night.

Shen Nian didn't wake up until the next morning.

She opened her eyes and realized she was in a hospital.

Slowly, he propped himself up on his arms and sat up.

At a glance, I saw Moze leaning against the sofa, asleep with his eyes closed.

She remembered that she seemed to have met an older man last night.

So... it was the older man who brought her to the hospital!

Shen Nian threw off the covers and got out of bed, tiptoing to the sofa.

Leaning slightly forward, he carefully observed the person in front of him.

Mo Ze had his eyes closed, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he wasn't sleeping soundly.

A high, straight nose with well-defined contours, presenting a perfect curve, and rosy, thin lips gently closed.

Shen Nian was somewhat stunned.

Aside from Chu Yunyi, this was the first time she had observed a man's face so closely.

Wow... this uncle is so handsome...

This face looks more delicate than a woman's.

Shen Nian said silently to herself.

She quietly stepped back, intending to ask the nurse about being discharged. She felt much better and wanted to be discharged as soon as possible.

After all, hospitalization costs a lot of money, and she also has to work at a restaurant at night.

I already took a day off yesterday.

I definitely can't take any more leave today.

Just as Shen Nian was about to turn around, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.

She stumbled and fell onto the sofa, quickly bracing herself with her hands. Then, she looked up and met Mo Zeru's dark eyes.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment. Neither of them spoke, only their breaths brushed against each other's faces.

Shen Nian could only hear her own heartbeat, thump-thump, slowly getting faster and faster...

"Awake?" Mo Ze asked in a slightly hoarse voice, then gently released his wrist that he had instinctively gripped.

Shen Nian hurriedly straightened up, took several steps back, then blushed, lowered her head, and softly called out, "Uncle~"

Moze also stood up from the sofa and stretched his neck.

I leaned against it and slept for a while, but my neck started to feel a little uncomfortable.

Shen Nian felt a little embarrassed watching his actions.

If it weren't for her.

The uncle no longer needs to sleep on the sofa!

She spoke up first, "Uncle, thank you for bringing me to the hospital last night."

It seems she owes the older man a favor.

Moze responded softly, "Mm."

Then he walked to the bedside and pressed the call button, intending to call the doctor to come and examine Shen Nian.

Mo Ze didn't speak, and Shen Nian seemed unsure of what to say either.

Fortunately, the doctor arrived shortly afterward.

Mo Ze said to the doctor, "Please help her with an examination. She got caught in the rain last night, developed a fever, and fainted. She's calmed down now, but we don't know if there are any other problems."

"Ok."

The doctor had Shen Nian lie back on the hospital bed and gave her a thorough examination.

"I suggest you stay in the hospital for another night of observation, because the X-ray taken yesterday showed some lung infection. It would be best to have another IV drip today."

The doctor finished the examination and said to Moze.

They naturally regarded Mo Ze as Shen Nian's family.

As soon as the doctor finished speaking, Shen Nian hurriedly sat up and said anxiously, "I don't want to stay in the hospital anymore. I feel fine now. I'll go through the discharge procedures in a bit."

"This..." The doctor looked at Moze with difficulty, seemingly waiting for his decision.

Mo Ze walked to the bedside and looked at Shen Nian, "Are you sure you want to be discharged?"

Shen Nian nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, I have other things to do tonight, I really... don't have time to stay in the hospital for observation..."

Mo Ze thought to himself that he couldn't force others to do things, so he said to the doctor, "Then let's go through the discharge procedures."

"Okay, I'll prescribe a few more boxes of medicine for the patient. If he doesn't need an IV drip, he can just take the medicine for two days. If there are any problems, he can come to the hospital for a check-up." After giving the instructions, the doctor left the ward.

Shen Nian and Mo Ze were left alone in the ward again.

Another period of quiet silence followed.

Shen Nian looked down at her hospital gown and remembered the clothes she wore yesterday that were soaked by the rain.

She can't very well walk out of the hospital in her hospital gown after she's completed the discharge procedures.

But after looking around the ward, she couldn't seem to find any trace of the clothes she wore yesterday.

Shen Nian coughed twice and cleared her throat.

Moze frowned as soon as he heard her cough.

Turning my head to look, my eyes seemed to say, "This is what you call being healthy?!"

Shen Nian hurriedly explained, "I'm really fine!"

Moze didn't speak.

Shen Nian wanted to find her clothes, and spoke again in a low voice, "Uncle, I... I don't know where I put my clothes from last night?"

After saying that, he lowered his head, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Why do I always run into older men when I'm at my lowest point and most helpless?

"The nurse changed your clothes, and I told her to throw them away," Moze replied.

"Huh?" Shen Nian suddenly raised her head.

I didn't expect the clothes to be thrown away.

Then... how will she get back later?

Before she could think any further, she heard Mo Ze continue, "I've already had someone send you a set of clothes; it'll be here soon."

Shen Nian was even more upset.

After all, the clothes that Moze sent last time were quite valuable.

If she takes another set of someone else's clothes this time, when will she ever be able to pay it back?

"Um... Uncle~" Shen Nian struggled with her thoughts for a moment before finally speaking.

Moze looked at her, waiting for her to continue.

"It's just... you can have someone buy you a cheap outfit. The one last time was too expensive..."

Mo Ze was slightly taken aback, not expecting this.

He had his assistant buy it.

Just say you can find a store in the mall to buy it.

He genuinely didn't care how much it cost.

Hearing Shen Nian say that, Mo Ze sent a message to his assistant, asking him to buy something cheaper.

The assistant, who was almost at the hospital, stopped when she saw the luxury brand bag she was carrying.

Just how cheap is this "cheaper" option?

The assistant texted Mo Ze, asking, "Mr. Mo, what price range would be considered a discount?"

Mo Ze had no idea either, so he asked Shen Nian, "How much do cheap clothes cost?"

Shen Nian replied with a smile, "A hundred or so yuan is fine, or even a few dozen yuan if I can find one."

Moze frowned. "Can you wear it?"

"Huh? Yes, yes..." Shen Nian replied blankly.

Mo Ze ignored her and told his assistant, "Just make it cheaper than last time."

He put down his phone and looked at Shen Nian again.

Finally, she asked, "Are you short of money?"

Shen Nian was also taken aback, and honestly replied, "It's...it's alright, the money I earn from part-time work is enough for my living expenses."

Mo Ze frowned, keeping his eyes fixed on Shen Nian.

Didn't you say you're still a student? Why are you working?

"As I said before, you can contact me if you need help. If you're short of money, I can..."

Mo Ze originally intended to offer it, but then he thought better of it and worried that Shen Nian might misunderstand him, so he changed his mind and said, "I can lend it to you."

Shen Nian waved her hand, "No need, no need, I have enough money."

Seeing that she refused, Mo Ze didn't say anything more.

He simply nodded and sat back down on the sofa.

Shen Nian looked at Mo Ze and suddenly thought of something.

It seems I really need the older man's help...

She looked at Mo Ze, her hands clenched together nervously and slightly sweaty.

Several times I hesitated to speak, unable to bring myself to say anything.

Mo Ze hadn't noticed it at first, but Shen Nian's expression was just too conflicted.

He took the initiative to ask, "Is something the matter?"

Shen Nian paused, then nodded, "Mmm..."

Taking a deep breath, she mustered her courage and asked, "Uncle, will you marry me?"
