Chapter 357 Let Him Marry You
After taking the patient's pulse carefully, Lin Mu walked to the desk, sat down, picked up his pen, and began to think about a prescription.
Ning Jiewei followed closely, lowered herself to help him grind the ink.
Thinking about Lord Xu, who always remembered to respect the wise, just like Lin Mu, she asked curiously.
"If the elders in your family had not arranged the marriage, would you have favored Mr. Gao?"
Lin Mu focused his attention and answered simply.
"Ah."
Ning Jiewei was so immersed in it that she had already regarded Lin Mu as Xu Mingqian, with a gentle smile and a shy look in the morning glow.
"Will you marry her then?"
Lin Muping took a deep breath and concentrated, writing down the first medicine.
"meeting."
Ning Jiewei rubbed the corner of her clothes, her charming eyes were like fireflies, and her charm was sparkling.
"If that's the case, why can't you use yourself as the antidote? What if she wants you to take advantage of her?"
Lin Mu responded without hesitation.
"She won't."
Ning Jiewei twisted his sleeve and started to act coquettishly.
"In case she does, do you agree?"
Lin Mu showed a look of horror, quickly pulled away his wide sleeves and handed over the prescription.
"I have finished my research. Please ask someone to get me some medicine."
Ning Jiewei was a bit willful. Without saying anything, she grabbed his arm through his sleeve and continued to act coquettishly.
"Answer me first."
Lin Mu was in a panic and pulled away again, taking a few steps back, standing between them and the desk, while giving her earnest advice.
"Master Zhuang used a strong drug. The Qingxin Pills won't last long. We need to save Master Gao without delay."
Thinking of Qiu Bi's safety, Ning Jiewei put aside her own thoughts and nodded.
"Okay then, wait for me, I'll be back soon."
Lin Mu wanted to smile politely, but he just couldn't force a smile.
"Okay, thank you girl."
Ning Jiewei took the prescription, walked out of the guest room, and handed it to a secret guard, giving him careful instructions.
Seeing this, Lin Mu sat down again, leaned his arms on the desk, and pretended to be sleepy and fell asleep.
Ning Jiewei hurried back and closed the door.
"I'm back, you said..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw Lin Mu closing his eyes and remaining silent. She stopped in anger and slammed the table to show her dissatisfaction.
"You are clearly just pretending to sleep, do you take me for a fool?!"
"Lin Mu! You'd better open your eyes, otherwise, I will not let you off easily!"
Lin Mu had no intention of lying, he just didn't want to pay attention, so he turned a deaf ear and continued pretending to sleep.
Ning Jiewei was so angry that she stamped her feet angrily.
"If you do this again, I will ignore you!"
When he didn't reply, she began to talk to herself.
"Just ignore it, right?"
"Then I'll never touch you again!"
"It doesn't matter if I don't touch you? Humph, you pretend to be upright, but in fact you long for it. You think about it every day and can't sleep every night. I understand the thoughts of you men best."
Seeing his brow twitch slightly, she smiled smugly.
"What? Are you moved? With your character, you can only restrain yourself when facing Mr. Gao. When facing a beauty like me, I can tell what you are thinking at a glance."
"Ah? You still want to watch my live broadcast? Then why didn't you make an appointment before?"
"You really can't make an appointment? Can I help you make an appointment?"
"Sure, you're handsome. But, Mr. Gao won't be angry if you watch my live broadcast, right?"
"Even if you're angry, you still want to watch it? Alas, why are you like this? I advise you to concentrate on your work and take good care of Mr. Gao."
Lin Mu gritted his teeth as he listened, Ning Jiewei seemed to be enjoying what she said.
"You said, it's just a live broadcast. Sister He is virtuous, so we shouldn't hold any grudges against her?"
"Then I am not virtuous. If Master Xu watches other people's live broadcasts, I will definitely be angry."
"I am also virtuous? Why does Lord Lin say that?"
Having said this, she suddenly covered her face in shyness.
"Oh, stop talking, stop talking. Lord Lin, your praise is really too much. I don't deserve it!"
Lin Mu was so exhausted that he could not even cry.
After an unknown amount of time, the hidden guards finally arrived. Lin Mu woke up instantly, walked over quickly, took the medicine, woke Qiu Bi up, and fed her the medicine.
Looking at his behavior, which seemed like he was deliberately teasing her, Ning Jiewei felt annoyed and unhappy.
Lin Mu was concentrating on feeding the medicine, with only Qiu Bi in his eyes.
"Don't be afraid, Sister He. It's okay."
Qiu Bi's cheeks were rosy and she nodded gently.
Thinking of how he risked his life to save her, she felt deeply moved and finally suppressed her shyness and changed her name.
"Thank you Murang."
Lin Mu stopped moving, was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but smile sweetly.
"Do you feel the bitterness of the medicine?"
Qiu Bi's smile is like a lotus just blooming.
"I just feel sweet in my heart."
Lin Mu comforted him softly.
"Drink the medicine obediently, and you will be cured in a moment."
Qiu Bi responded obediently.
"okay."
After drinking the medicine, Qiu Bi wanted to explain what happened tonight, express her guilt and tell her true feelings.
Lin Mu calculated the time in his mind. If Feng Yihe had any suspicions, she would have come over by about time. So he straightened his expression and interrupted Qiu Bi's words.
"We'll talk later. There's no rush."
Qiu Bi didn't understand what he meant and thought that he was bothered by the matter, so she felt disgusted.
She felt very aggrieved and was about to apologize and reach out her hand, but she saw Lin Mu turning to Ning Jiewei and begging earnestly.
"Please trouble Miss Ning to escort Lord Gao back to his residence. I will leave first. Bye."
Ning Jiewei was still in a bad mood.
"You go, you go, leaving these two weak women behind. You are the most responsible person in the world."
Lin Mu frowned and warned seriously.
"It's not advisable to stay here for long. After I leave, you should tidy up your clothes and leave quickly."
Ning Jiewei stretched out her arms to block him.
"you……"
Thinking that the Fourth Lady showed concern for him, Qiu Bi appreciated her kindness and looked at her. She was moved by the tenderness of the willow catkins.
"Fourth Miss, I'm fine, let him go."
Ning Jiewei reluctantly stopped, and Lin Mu left quickly without even looking back.
After glancing at his back, Ning Jiewei pursed her lips, walked to the bed and sat next to Qiu Bi.
She was teased and humiliated, and she found it difficult to express it in words for a moment. However, she wanted to complain, so she made up an excuse.
"How could he be so indifferent to you?"
Qiu Bi sighed melancholy, and quickly tidied her clothes as he said.
"Well, it's a long story."
Ning Jiewei complained constantly, feeling frustrated and melancholy, as if she was being left out.
"It was a beautiful time, but he didn't even want to touch you. No matter how I tried to persuade him, he insisted on taking medicine for treatment and refused to save you with his own body."
Qiu Bi lowered her eyes apologetically and expressed her understanding.
"I made the mistake first and didn't trust him. Maybe he's still angry."
Recalling the scene of Lin Mu pretending to sleep, Ning Jiewei's eyes were filled with tears. Her lower lip trembled slightly, as if she felt aggrieved. She couldn't help but complain.
"Not only does he not want to touch you, he also... "
She hesitated to speak, still unable to utter the words.
Qiu Bi misunderstood his meaning and was shocked.
"What to you? What did he do?"
Ning Jiewei found it hard to accept the fact that there were men in the world who didn't love her. She felt more and more inferior, and sadness grew in her eyes. In an instant, tears fell like rain.
"I don't live anymore..."
Qiu Bi completely misunderstood and was shocked and surprised.
"what?!"
"He...you..."
Qiu Bi found it hard to speak and her emotions were in turmoil, unable to calm down for a long time.
Could it be that seeing Lord Zhuang being rude and frivolous to me, he became jealous and turned to the Fourth Young Lady to vent his anger?
Thinking of this, she felt extremely guilty and hugged the fourth girl tightly, trying to comfort her.
"Don't be sad, Fourth Miss. It's all my fault for being stupid and ignorant. I made him angry, so he... I'm sorry, Fourth Miss, I'm really sorry for you!"
Ning Jiewei didn't feel anything strange, she just felt sad and resentful.
"No matter how hard I tried to persuade him, he insisted on sleeping on the desk. I couldn't live with it!"
Qiu Bi felt more guilty and hugged him tighter.
"Sleeping on the desk... I absolutely cannot commit suicide for this! If anything happens to the fourth lady, I will blame myself and follow her to the underworld!"
Ning Jiewei had tears in her eyes and was filled with sorrow.
"so what should I do?"
Qiu Bi loosened his arms, looked her straight in the face, and made a serious promise.
"I'll cancel the engagement right now and let him marry you!"
Ning Jiewei was stunned.
"what?"
