The surgery went successfully.
When Mu Ning heard the news, a huge stone fell in his heart.
Next, Gu Zhiyin just needs to cultivate well and wait for the wound to heal.
Luther came back from the hospital.
He did not take Mu Ning back to California, but placed her in a manor on the border of the capital.
The servant took off his coat for him, and he slowly walked to Mu Ning.
"what are you doing."
Mu Ning lowered his eyes and was busy with his work, "Make sushi."
"Do you like sushi?"
No, he likes to eat.
Gu Zhiyin didn't like to eat it, but he was willing to eat it because she made it.
Luther leaned elegantly against the counter, his face profile handsome and graceful under the light.
He looked at the light brown hair hanging down on Mu Ning's cheeks, and reached out to help her pull it up, "I'm tired after eight hours of surgery. Can you cook me a meal?"
Mu Ning shuddered and avoided reflexively.
Luther's hand froze in mid-air.
She lowered her head, "I'll do it for you, you go and rest."
Luther sighed and picked up the spoon she had just dropped.
Mu Ning hurriedly took it, "Thank you."
Luther is gone.
Mu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
He had helped Gu Zhiyin undergo surgery for so long, so it was appropriate to cook him a meal to thank him.
Mu Ning did not ask the servant to help and was busy for two hours.
Luther changed into a simple shirt and trousers. When he came down the spiral staircase, he looked noble and elegant. He stood tall and tall, holding on to the railing, his eyes always focused on the little woman busy in front of the dining table.
Mu Ning noticed it, raised his head, and met his eyes.
She was startled for a moment, then looked away, "It's time to eat."
Mu Ning set the dishes and chopsticks for him.
Luther had already come to her side. Seeing how skillful she was, he asked, "Have you often done this kind of thing in his house before?"
Do what servants do.
Mu Ning shook his head, "Never."
Luther didn't speak again and stared at her.
Mu Ning kept looking away, somewhat avoiding his gaze, "I know what you want to say."
"He has never treated me badly and has always treated me like a charming young lady."
"I will do this. I have to take care of him while he is injured."
Luther looked away, "Actually, you don't have to work so hard."
He pulled out the chair and asked her to sit down.
Mu Ning sat down obediently, "I volunteered. It's hard work, but I enjoy the process of taking care of him even more."
As long as he doesn't lose his temper when eating, doesn't throw dishes and chopsticks, and behaves well when taking medicine, she quite likes to take care of him.
She would be very satisfied if she could do something for him.
"You love him very much," Luther said.
Mu Ning returned his gaze and said bluntly, "Yes."
Luther laughed briefly, "Let's eat."
He glanced at the food on the table.
"These……"
Mu Ning lowered his eyes, "Sorry, that's all I can do."
They are all Gu Zhiyin's favorite food.
He has a bad stomach and needs to pay special attention to his diet.
Therefore the meals are relatively light.
Luther guessed it and twitched the corners of his lips, "It's okay."
He picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites, "The craftsmanship is good."
"Thanks."
Luther asked the servant to open a bottle of vintage red wine.
When the servant poured Mu Ning wine, she declined politely, "Sorry, I can't drink."
"Is it because of him that you refused my drink?"
Mu Ning was stunned.
She remembered Gu Zhiyin's words, don't drink with other men casually when he is away.
Luther interrupted her contemplation, "You must have not forgotten to agree to my conditions."
"It's just a glass of wine, but you want to upset me?"
Mu Ning pursed his lips and said, "Okay, I'll drink with you."
"But I want to make it clear that this meal tonight is to repay your kindness."
After hearing her special explanation, Luther smiled lightly and raised his glass, "Then thank you, Miss Nicole, for the compliment."
When Mu Ning heard this title, he frowned in discomfort.
She didn't say anything and let the servant pour the wine.
…
Dinner was almost finished, and Mu Ning was tipsy.
Luther suddenly stood up and slowly walked towards Mu Ning.
A shadow fell, and Mu Ning's chin was lifted.
A pair of gentle eyes stared at her.
"Little princess."
Mu Ning frowned slightly.
Luther stared at her lips, gently skimming the oil stains from the corners of her lips with his fingertips, and then, the gentle and handsome face slowly came closer.
The smell was strong and unfamiliar.
"Wow" Mu Ning accidentally knocked over the wine glass and the red wine spilled all over her, "Sorry..."
Luther paused and saw her wet skirt.
He laughed inexplicably and let go of her, "Go up and change your clothes. Come down after changing your clothes."
…
Mu Ning washed his face with cold water.
Did Luther want to kiss her just now?
She grabbed the sink and closed her eyes in discomfort.
Luther put her under house arrest here, not knowing what he wanted to do.
Be his prison pet? His woman? Or canary?
No matter which one she chooses, she must ensure that she will not be touched by him for these three months.
Mu Ning picked out a white dress, put it on, opened the door and went out.
When she went downstairs, she heard the melodious sound of the piano.
Luther sat in front of a dark piano. His white shirt and black trousers made him elegant.
"Moonlight Song"
Mu Ning heard it.
Luther stopped suddenly, his eyes soft, "Come here, little princess."
Mu Ning walked over.
"Can you play?"
Mu Ning pursed his lips and said nothing.
Luther chuckled softly, "I won't teach you."
Mu Ning stared at the black and white piano keys, feeling a strange feeling in his heart.
Would love to try it.
She sat down next to Luther, put her fingers on the keys, closed her eyes, and started playing the song "Wedding in a Dream."
Listen to the familiar melody.
His image is all in my mind——
He sat in front of the piano, held her little girl on his lap, and played the song with his arms around her. The moonlight shone on his cold and noble face, and his arms were quiet and warm.
She really missed him.
She missed him so much.
Gu Zhiyin, Uncle Gu, her Uncle Gu...
Unknowingly, tears rolled down my face.
After playing, she opened her eyes and found Luther staring at her with burning eyes.
"Are you crying for him?"
Only then did Mu Ning realize that he was crying.
"No." She raised her hand to wipe it, and Luther grabbed her wrist.
She hurriedly tried to take her hand out, but Luther used his strength and said, "Little princess."
There was no smile in his eyes, "When I'm here, don't think about other men."
"He has to rely on me for subsequent medication."
Mu Ning paled.
Luther put down her hand, grabbed her chin with his fingers, and tenderly took out a handkerchief to wipe her.
Mu Ning closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly.
Luther looked at the attractive pink color on her fair cheeks and moved closer to her.
Mu Ning felt a warm breath approaching and suddenly opened his eyes.
Luther's face was as exquisite as a painting, and anyone who looked at it couldn't help but feel moved.
But Mu Ning was only afraid, putting his hands on his chest to prevent him from approaching.
Luther saw her resisting little hand, laughed briefly, and pinched her chin with his fingers, "Since you agreed to the conditions, you shouldn't go back on it. You should know the price of rejecting me."
Mu Ning knew that Luther was willing to help Gu Zhiyin treat her eyes and legs, so he couldn't simply keep her by his side.
He wants her.
If she refuses, Luther will stop Gu Zhiyin's medicine.
This is the price.
Mu Ning shook like chaff.
She slowly put down her resisting hand and closed her eyes in discomfort.
