Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten Chapter 1520 - Sign of Growth

Chapter 1520: Sign of Growth

When Yun Xi woke up, the sky was already bright. When she opened her eyes, she immediately felt a dull pain in her head. She raised her hand to feel her forehead. She still had a low fever.

As soon as she moved, the man who was sitting next to her put down his laptop. He quickly leaned over and checked her temperature. “You’re awake? How do you feel? Does it hurt?”

The anesthesia should have worn off by now. Even though the wound had been cleaned and sutured, it would still hurt.

When she saw Mu Feichi, Yun Xi blinked and struggled to sit up. The moment she moved, the wound on her shoulder throbbed, and she sucked in a breath of cold air from the pain.

“Don’t move. The anesthesia has just worn off, and it will definitely hurt now.”

“My head is spinning. Help me sit up. I feel uncomfortable lying down.”

“Okay…” Mu Feichi leaned over and helped her up. He carefully placed a pillow behind her for her to lean on.

Now that she’d woken up, she felt embarra.s.sed facing the man in front of her.

If not for the fact that she was injured and feeling dizzy, she really wanted to hide under the blanket like an ostrich.

This was the first time she had faced him since becoming his woman, so it was hard not to feel awkward.

“Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”

“I want to drink water…” Her mouth tasted bitter, probably because of all the pills she had taken.

There was a thermos and a gla.s.s of water on the bedside table. Mu Feichi poured a cup of warm water and brought it to her mouth, carefully feeding her.

“Is your mouth tasting bitter?” Seeing that she had drunk a few mouthfuls of water, Mu Feichi raised his hand and rubbed her head.

“In the future, unless you really don’t have a choice, don’t take that medicine. Don’t think that I didn’t find out about it. I checked the medicine bottle you took with you.”

“Yeah…I know. Anyway, I didn’t embarra.s.s you. Shouldn’t you be happy, Young Commander?”

She purposely pretended to act dumb and changed the subject. When it came to her taking that medicine, he had flown into a rage once. This time, she had failed to hide it from him, so she could only try to lessen his anger.

How could Mu Feichi not understand how careful she had been? This man would never do anything negative to her.

“Yes, you didn’t embarra.s.s me. Even Lord Yan was proud when he found out that you went to the highest vantage point to attack the enemy. It’s a pity that my woman didn’t join the army.”

Hearing the faint mockery in his voice, Yun Xi moved her right hand and carefully held his hand, acting as if she was weak and powerless. “In that type of situation, staying alive is the most important thing. I know what I want to do, and my ultimate goal is nothing more than to live a long life with you. Everything else is nothing worth mentioning compared to this. Moreover, I am only lightly injured, so isn’t this fine?”

Yun Xi did not know whether it was those words that comforted this arrogant man. In the end, Mu Feichi sighed and his face softened. He pinched her pale face and his dark eyes were filled with heartache and helplessness.

“Surviving is important, but you need to have the ability to survive first. It’s not easy to fight alongside me. You still have a long way to go. This time, I’ve pushed you too far.”

If it had not been for the urgency of the situation, he would not have let her go to the highest vantage point. Even if he had pushed her beyond her capability, his sweetheart had not disappointed him.

“The feeling of returning from the brink of death will make people treasure life even more. It’s been a good learning experience for me.”

Yun Xi pointed at the wound on her shoulder. “This is a medal and a sign of growth.”

From this episode, she had taken another step forward and inched closer to him.
