The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu’s Pampered Wife Chapter 1237 - As If A Century

1237 As If A Century 1

The night grew late. While the bright moon hung high up in the sky outside the window, the cold moonlight bathed the ground.

The main light in the ward was not switched on. Only the dim table lamp by the bed was turned on, but its weak light still looked gentle.

Su Nan held a warm towel and carefully used it to wipe Ruan Heng’s body whose eyes were still shut as he lay in bed. She did it slowly and with detailed focus. By now, she was adept at it.

A while after that, she was finally done, so she began to ma.s.sage his arms and legs. When she was done, she was worn out. The weather was cool, yet there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

When she finally sat down and reached out to gently hold Ruan Heng’s frail hand, she could vaguely feel his hand subconsciously twitch a little, but upon studying his face, his eyes were not open.

He must be trying hard to open his eyes as Su Nan seemed to be able to feel his tensed up body. Sadly, he still could not open his eyes right now…

“Ruan Heng, try harder. You’ll be able to open your eyes soon. You’ve already been sleeping for so long now. It’s time you wake up…If you don’t wake up soon, I’m really afraid that I won’t be able to last any longer…Don’t you miss me? Don’t you miss our daughter? It’s been so long. Our daughter’s all grown up now. She knows how to call us ‘Father’ and ‘Mother’. Why won’t you wake up?” Su Nan held his hand tightly and put it to her chest as she spoke with a raspy voice.

“I finally managed to complete the design today, when I handed it to Mr. Rose, he was very happy with it. Professor Harry says that your condition’s looking up right now, so I’m planning to tell Mr. Rose that I’m resigning. I’ll just take good care of you and hope that when you open your eyes, the first person you’ll see is me…

“I’m missing Xiao Xi a little. When I called her today, I heard her call me Mother. She p.r.o.nounced it so clearly. Her eyes are looking more and more like yours.”

…

When Xi Xiaye stood at the door, she could hear Su Nan’s words from afar.

The entire ward was very quiet, so Su Nan’s voice sounded particularly clear too.

Seeing her so sad, Xi Xiaye felt a sudden pang in her heart. She thought about it for a moment before slowly lifting a hand to push open the half-closed door…

“Nan Nan…” Her calm voice had a hint of raspiness, so she sounded dazed and surreal.

Su Nan thought she was having an illusion!

Why did she seem to have heard Xiaye’s voice? Still, even as she wondered that, she could not help but turn to look at the door, and when an elegant blue figure greeted her sight, she suddenly trembled.

She widened her teary eyes and fixed her gaze on Xi Xiaye who had suddenly appeared.

She was stunned for quite a while before speaking out in disbelief, “Xiaye? Is that really you? Xiaye!”

Upon hearing that, Xi Xiaye pursed her lips and chuckled gently. She walked over in a few light steps and stopped before Su Nan. “Obviously, it’s me. I was making a trip here, so I decided to visit you. Mu Yuchen’s here too. He’s still talking to the doctor. Are you two doing okay?”

“Xiaye!” As she reached out to hold Xi Xiaye’s wrist and feel the warmth from her body, Su Nan could not help but blink her tears back. There was a joy of a long-awaited reunion in her tone. “Why are you back? How did you know we were here? How are both of you here?” Her rushed yet grateful voice revealed how emotional she was at the moment.

“I was worried about you two, so I came over to visit. Have a seat first. You look like you haven’t been taking good care of yourself. You’ve become thinner.” Xi Xiaye’s concerned tone sounded weary, and her clear gaze could not hide her heartache.

“Xiaye—”

Perhaps because she had endured all the pain for so long and was tired from holding on that right this second, Su Nan suddenly could not help but turn weak. When she heard Xi Xiaye say that, she fell into Xi Xiaye’s arms.

Xi Xiaye reached out to hold her and quietly consoled, “Don’t be sad. It will all get better. I heard Professor Harry mention before this that Ruan Heng’s doing well as he’s beginning to show signs of consciousness. I’m sure he’ll wake up soon.”

Then, she gently patted her shoulder.

Su Nan took a deep breath. “I’ve heard so much of this that I’m a little numb. Sometimes, I’m really afraid that he won’t wake up, but miraculously, G.o.d is giving us a sliver of hope again…”

“It’s good to have hope. We’ll see what Mu Yuchen hears from the doctor,” Xi Xiaye consoled as she looked at Ruan Heng on the bed.

Su Nan nodded and pressed the switch by the bed so that the ward lit up. “He does have some consciousness. Sometimes, when I hold his hand, I can feel him responding to me. He still just can’t open his eyes…” she said as she quietly turned to look at Ruan Heng.

“It’s great that he has some consciousness. He’s a strong-willed person. He’ll definitely wake up soon,” Xi Xiaye said before she gently let go of Su Nan and turned to the bodyguards who followed her in. The bodyguard then knowingly brought over the gifts and put it on the table by the bed.

“Hopefully. Thank you, Xiaye, for coming all the way. Did Chairman Mu come with you?” Su Nan said gratefully. However, before Xi Xiaye could answer, there was the sound of footsteps from outside the door. When the two of them turned to look, Mu Yuchen was walking in.

“Chairman Mu!”

When she saw Mu Yuchen, Su Nan still felt dazed and surprised for a moment.

Mu Yuchen’s manner was so imposing. Even if he looked calm and cool, he appeared indescribably pressuring to Su Nan. Despite having gotten closer to him because of Xi Xiaye, she still could not ignore this feeling.

Mu Yuchen nodded humbly, and then looked at Ruan Heng. His gaze soon fell back onto Xi Xiaye as he said with a lowered voice, “Let’s pack up and go out for dinner first. Su Nan, have some supper with us too. There should be nurses to handle things here.”

They had rushed over as soon as they landed, so the husband and wife had not eaten anything. Mu Yuchen had always been keenly aware of making Xi Xiaye eat on time since she had bad gastritis before this which only finally recovered after a while.

When he said that, Su Nan was stunned. “Have you not eaten? Aren’t you starving?”

“I’m okay. We had something to eat on the plane.”

“Did you rush over as soon as you landed? Quickly have dinner then. I’m almost done here too. There are nurses to watch over at night.”
