Perfect Pampered Marriage: Good Morning, Hubby

Chapter 47: Now Keep Your Mouth Shut

That instruction made everyone turn around immediately.

Director Cheng closed his eyes gradually, his back against Mo Nianchen and Li Shengxia. A sudden pang of pain hit his chest. He did not know why he was feeling this way for a woman he barely knew but the air around him seemed to have solidified into ice crystals.

Was she resisting him earlier because of… The Crown Prince? It appeared her subconscious was rejecting any close contact apart from Mo Niancheng. This discovery frustrated him even more.

A heavy silence filled the air, apart from the occasional soft pitter-patter of the rain.

The woman remembered someone tried to save her when she was drowning. She darted her eyes at the director out of instinct.

Mo Nianchen frowned upon detecting her wandering eyes.

Simultaneously, she whispered, “Can you be a bit gentler?”

He suddenly applied more pressure to the massage.

“It hurts.” She pouted innocently.

A hint of joy flashed across his face. “Now keep your mouth shut!”

The woman did as she was told. This felt like a beautiful dream too good to be true.

In the dream, Mo Nianchen treated her with so much kindness and gentleness. The cramping muscles in her legs also gradually relaxed.

She could almost hear her heart beating beneath the skin.

She allowed her imagination to run wild again.

‘Mo Nianchen, is this why I have feelings for you…

You’re always the first to the rescue whenever I hit a snag. I can’t help falling deeper for you even if you’re so mean…’

The sound of rain dropping to the ground form a pleasant melody to her ears.

He did not feel the cold albeit being completely drenched in the rain.

A long time later.

“Cough…” The woman coughed, and slowly closed her eyes because of the heaviness in her head.

“Li Shengxia!”

He quickly reached out to touch her forehead. The raindrops were cold but her forehead was boiling hot. Why did she not mention the fever? Such an idiot!

“Wake up right now!”

There was no reaction from her.

His handsome face was instantly filled with murderous intent, his eyes narrowed instinctively. He shielded her face with his jacket, intending to rush her to the hospital right away.

“Crown Prince, here are some… Clean clothes…” The agent said immediately upon seeing the man covering the woman’s head with wet clothes. The sharp glance sent a shiver down her spine.

He grabbed the clothes, carried the woman in his arms, and darted toward the direction where the car was parked.

The man reprimanded himself over and over in his mind. He knew she was coming to see Gina but thought she would be competent enough to deal with it herself. But look at what she had done! Putting herself at risk with a high fever!

“Li Shengxia, you’re mine, you don’t have the right to be having this high fever.

“Didn’t you ask me to not meddle in your affairs? Didn’t you say you can handle everything on your own? Ha, is this all you’ve got?

“What a stupid, stupid, stupid woman. I told you to take advantage of me anytime you like! Are you a pig? Does begging me embarrass you more than begging Gina?”

He slammed the car door shut.

“Crown Prince.”

“To the nearest hospital!”

The woman’s body was unbelievably cold, so cold that it made him panic-stricken.

The driver was jittery. He had not seen the crown prince getting this anxious for a woman before. It was as if the man was ready to annihilate the entire world if something bad should happen to her…

Everyone on the film set was also in complete shock…

What had just happened? Was that man truly the crown prince of the Emperor Heritage Group? He had just rushed through the rain to perform CPR and artificial respiration to a woman, not to mention relieving her cramped muscles with massages and rushing her to the hospital…

Was this all an illusion?

Who was that woman…

Gina stood there motionless, lost in her own thoughts.

She witnessed everything that Mo Nianchen did for Li Shengxia. She trembled subconsciously and clenched her fists at the sight of him running quickly with the woman in his arms. How naive was she to think that she was equal to Li Shengxia?

The latter always had someone there for her, no matter when she was hurt or had fallen ill.

Whereas Gina…

She had to endure the pain and pretend everything was alright when the same fate had befallen her!

It was exactly because of Li Shengxia’s passiveness that people tended to provide her with all the best things. On the other hand, Gina would gain nothing at all if she did not fight for it!

The all-mighty Crown Prince would fling her hand away in disgust if she tried to approach him. However, he had just used his honorable hands to do those lowly things to Li Shengxia…

At the hospital.

Mo Nianchen began pacing on the corridor after handing the sick woman over to the doctor. He was dripping wet with rainwater. The bodyguard offered him fresh clothes but he could not be bothered to get changed.

Simultaneously, a nurse stepped out of the ward.

“How’s she doing? Is it serious?” he pressed right away.

The nurse was astonished by the dashing man. He was definitely way better looking than the male lead in films.

“Speak!” A surge of frustration rocked through him when the nurse did not reply.

She quickly recovered from her fantasy. “Yes, the patient needs to rest. A few hours will…”

He instructed his assistant almost instantaneously. “Chi Su, check her into the hospital for three days.”

The nurse was flabbergasted. “Sir, she’s just overworked herself but she’ll be fine after the high fever breaks. We’re in short supply of wards lately thus the hospital will prefer to keep the rooms for patients with more severe conditions…”

“You’re saying she’s in a severe condition?” The color drained off his face within seconds. “Chi Su, check her in for one week.”

“…” The nurse was confused but quickly explained, thinking that the other man might have misunderstood her. “Indeed, a high fever could lead to more severe conditions but…”

“Can you just f*cking tell me how serious it is!?” The man flew into a rage without warning.

The nurse’s face turned as pale as a sheet. “No, no…” This handsome man had a really hot temper.

He frowned and questioned in a deep voice. “Two weeks in the hospital then?”

“No…” The nurse shook her head frantically.

D*mn it! He punched the white wall beside him. How weak was this stupid woman? Was she made of paper? Two weeks in the hospital were not enough to recover from a fever! Unless, could it be possible that she was suffering from another illness?
