Chapter 403: Her Time Is Coming

he thought, she couldn't let Lanhua die easily. She would torture his only daughter a thousand cuts, making her suffer until death.Though she could truly stand here, she couldn't bring herself to make...After finishing the cake, Mu Xing went to pick up a bag of herbs and then read medical books in the living room until eleven o'clock before going upstairs on time.

The figure of Old Madam Fu and Liu the Steward were not seen in the study.

Did they leave When did they leave

Mu Xing furrowed her brow in confusion and walked towards the man.

He didn't need her reminder, the man proactively put down his work and waited for her to walk beside him. He reached out and pulled her closer, holding her on his lap.

Mu Xing looked up at the man, "Grandma, when did she leave Why didn't you let them stay for lunch"

The food in our family doesn't suit the elderly's taste.

Fu Lingxiao said in a soft voice.

The little girl in my arms was covered in a sweet, buttery scent that was irresistible.

He reached out and gently tapped her nape, his fingertips caressing her delicate skin. "Where's my little cupcake, baby Didn't you promise to feed me"

Mu Xing: "Let's eat later, we'll have lunch soon."

"I want to eat now."

The man looked down at her, his gaze seeming to fix on her.

That low, magnetic voice, like jade colliding, sparked a layer of fire, tinged with an alluring desire.

Mu Xing's ears flushed hot, "Alright, I'll go get it."

She was just about to get up when the man suddenly pressed her down, a faint smirk on his lips, "No need for that much trouble."

Immediately after, a large hand on the back of her neck lifted her upward.

The man lowered his head, his sexy thin lips brushed her cheek, finding that soft and hot lip.

The little guy's flavor was too sweet, making him want to swallow her whole.

Mu Xing was completely enveloped by the man's unique aura, as if the intoxicating feeling after getting drunk was swirling in her blood.

She unconsciously hugged the man's neck, responding to him.

He took a light, lingering kiss, savoring her before finally letting go. "Alright, keep the little cake for later," he said.

Mu Xing's little face was flushed, leaning against the man's arms to catch her breath. She took out a bank card from her pocket, "Uncle Xiao, Grandma gave me this card, saying it was compensation for me. I don't want it, can you help me return it to her"

Fu Lingxiao said, "An old person's little thought, if you return it to her, she wouldn't feel at ease. If you don't want to use it, just leave it."

"Then, I'll leave you here."

Mu Xing pulled open the desk drawer and put the bank card inside. She said again, "I think grandma's mental state isn't very good. It should be because she's overthinking and hasn't had a good rest. I've already prepared some herbs for calming the mind and aiding sleep. I'll have someone send them to grandma later."

"Although herbs can only play a supplementary role, the most important thing is to adjust one's mindset. Uncle, if you have time, you should visit grandma more often and comfort her."

"Alright, little doctor."

It's about time for lunch, let's go down.

Mu Xing helped the man down the stairs.

After lunch, the two went for a walk.

Back at the Star Residence, Mu Xing pressed the man down onto the bed and forced him to take a midday nap. The acupuncture session coming up would be intense, Uncle Xiao had to rest well and stay in peak condition.

"Baby, let's take a nap together."

The man's lips curled into a faint arc as he pulled her closer to his chest.

Mu Xing suddenly felt a wet, warm itch deep in her nostrils. Then, a warm flow surged out of her nose, almost gushing out and sliding down.

She frowned, quickly pulling her sleeve up to cover her nose, "Little Uncle, you sleep first, I'll go to the bathroom."

After that, she wriggled out of the man's arms, quietly wiping away a drop of blood that had fallen onto the bedsheets, and ran to the bathroom.

However, the man had already detected something amiss from the faint metallic scent in the air.

He reached out and touched the sheets with his fingertips, a sticky sensation made his heart skip a beat.

Mu Xing...

Mu Xing rushed into the bathroom, her sleeves already stained a bloody crimson.

She pressed on the pressure points on her nose for a while before finally stopping the bleeding.

The bathroom was brightly lit, and she stood before the sink, clearly seeing in the mirror that her eyes seemed to be stained with blood, a faint red hue flickering within.

Her fingers, trembling slightly, pressed hard against her wrist.

High spirits surging, with great rises and falls.

This pulse, it's far beyond the normal physiological range, extremely pathological.

Is her time almost up

Mu Xing lowered her eyes, took a deep breath, took off her coat and washed the blood off her sleeves, balled them up and threw them in the dirty clothes hamper. She cupped some water and washed the bloodstains off her face.

She stood in the bathroom for a while longer, her eyes still red-rimmed.

Luckily, my uncle can't see me now.

Back in the room, the man lay silently on the bed, his eyes half-closed, as if already asleep.

Mu Xing lightly climbed onto the bed, pressed a button to close the curtains, and burrowed into the man's arms.

Hearing the steady, powerful beat of his heart, a tear escaped from the corner of her tightly closed eyes.

Trading the love of the Mu family for companionship, it was bound to end eventually. Well...

In the darkness, the sleeping man opened his eyes. He controlled his strength, gently encircling the hot little figure in his arms.

His heart ached, he silently moved his thin lips: Baby, I will definitely make sure nothing happens to you...

- In the evening, at Peking University.

Shen Qiong was leaning on Li Xuexuan's shoulder, just as they stepped out of the school gate, when Yunze blocked their path. "Xiao Qiong."

Shen Qiong frowned in displeasure, "What is it"

"I got you a present, I hope you like it."

Yun Ze raised his hand and beckoned, two bodyguards carried down a bicycle from the car.

They carefully carried the bicycle to Shen Qiong's presence, putting it down and wiping the sweat from their foreheads.

It's not their fault that they are so nervous, it's just that this bicycle is really expensive!

Excessively expensive!

That's enough money to buy two Lamborghini cars!

Shen Qiong's eyes casually swept across the bicycle, and in just one glance, her eyes widened!

"Holy crap! A Trek butterfly!"

The white car body frame is covered with butterfly patterns, it's truly a butterfly specimen!

The world's most expensive bicycle!

She dreams of having it!

I actually saw it with my own eyes!

Shen Qiong couldn't believe it, she leaned down to admire the bicycle, her expression brimming with excitement!

Li Xuexuan didn't know about the Trek butterfly, seeing Shen Qiong's shocked expression, she couldn't help but be curious and asked in a low voice: "Is this bicycle very cool"

Shen Qiong nodded, "Unbeatable bull, 3.2 million!"

"No way!"

Li Xuexuan was also shocked, she walked over and stared at the bicycle, but no matter how she looked, she couldn't see that it was worth three million two hundred thousand.

Yunze was very pleased with Shen Qiong's reaction, it wasn't a waste of his money to buy it. "You like it, right It will be yours from now on."

Shen Qing immediately stood up straight, and when he looked at Yun Ze, his expression returned to indifference, "You can send whoever you want, I don't care!"

She looped her arm around Li Xueren's neck and strode past Yunze, leaving.

Yun Ze stopped her, saying earnestly, "Xiao Qiong, I really like you. I've never been this serious about anyone before. Can't you give me a chance"dmother. I really want to ask you, how can you still chant scriptures every day and pray every night When facing Buddha, aren't you ashamed"Facing her grandson's incessant questioning, Mrs. Fu only fe...
