Chapter 16 What Did You Do to Me Last Night

Mu Hanchen frowned unhappily, "Grandma, don't get so agitated. Listen to me, Liang Chuchu and I are innocent. She is suffering from depression, misunderstood Fanxing's words, got upset, and attempted suicide."

"It's only right and proper that I go to see her, otherwise..."

But Mu's grandmother didn't want to hear any more, cutting him off, "Enough, you don't need to explain so much to me. As long as you know who is the most important to you, that's enough for me; I don't care whether the others are dead or alive."

"Grandma, I'm telling the truth..." Mu Hanchen said, a headache building as it seemed no matter what he said, his grandmother wouldn't listen. Was he really even her own flesh and blood?

Mu's grandmother covered her mouth and coughed violently a few times.

Mu's grandfather immediately started patting her back, then turned a sharp gaze toward Mu Hanchen, "You'd better say less, look what you've done to your grandma."

Mu Hanchen fell silent, helpless.

Seeing this, Xia Fanxing hurried forward to help soothe Mu's grandmother, "Grandma, we understand what you're saying. Please don't ruin your health over this, it's not worth it."

Mu's grandmother felt much better and nodded, "You understand grandma's heart the best, not like some others who are impervious to reason and just infuriate people."

"And with all this fuss, it's almost dawn. Don't fuss over me, hurry upstairs and rest."

Xia Fanxing, concerned about Mu's grandmother, said, "But Grandma, your health..."

"I'm fine. Your grandfather will stay with me here for a while, just go," Mu's grandmother waved her hand, signaling Xia Fanxing to go upstairs quickly.

Not wanting to cause any more worries for the elderly, Xia Fanxing willingly went upstairs.

Mu Hanchen knew he was not in his grandparents' good graces, so he also followed upstairs.

Xia Fanxing changed her clothes and went straight to the pallet that had been prepared beforehand.

Mu Hanchen hadn't actually wanted Xia Fanxing to sleep on the floor, but it's that she was ignoring him now.

After a moment of silence, his phone rang.

It was from Liang Chuchu.

The ringing of the phone was annoying Xia Fanxing, so she threw off the covers and said irritably, "If you're going to answer it, just step outside and do so, it's very noisy."

But Mu Hanchen hung up directly, "I'm not planning to answer it."

Xia Fanxing cast the man a strange look, "You're not answering her call? Aren't you afraid Liang Chuchu will attempt suicide again?"

Mu Hanchen casually tossed the phone aside with indifference, "She's at the hospital, she won't die."

Xia Fanxing found the situation inexplicable, "Suit yourself then."

Just a while ago, he was so anxious about Liang Chuchu's suicide attempt, and now he was acting nonchalant. This man changed faces faster than flipping through a book.

Mu Hanchen walked over to her, gazing down from above, "The floor is cold, get into bed."

Xia Fanxing clutched the covers tightly, "No need, your bed is too noble for me. I can't afford it, I'm fine right here."

She was truly tired and sleepy, so without concerning herself with what Mu Hanchen thought, she simply closed her eyes to sleep.

It didn't take long before she fell asleep.

But her sleep wasn't peaceful; it felt as though she were on a roller coaster, going up and down.

She usually didn't feel very secure in her sleep and kept a bear-shaped pillow on the bed.

While sleeping, she liked to cling to that bear.

During an unwelcome dream, she instinctively sought to secure the bear, searching for a sense of safety.

And so she slept until dawn.

When she woke up and opened her eyes, what she saw was not her bear but a familiar and handsome face.

Why was Mu Hanchen in front of her?

Xia Fanxing felt a shock and even some panic.

She then realized her whole body was wrapped in the man's arms.

Her hand and leg on one side of her body were entwined around him like an octopus.

It was both ambiguous and intimate.

Xia Fanxing subconsciously began to blush, and her heart started to race faster.

In her bewilderment,

Mu Hanchen woke up.

But it was as if he hadn't, as he moved his body to pull Xia Fanxing even closer to him.

The man's warm breath brushed across her cheek.

Xia Fanxing suddenly felt electrified and forcefully pushed Mu Hanchen away, then quickly grabbed the covers and wrapped herself up tightly.

Mu Hanchen, roused by her actions, had no choice but to wake up.

But he was clearly not pleased, having been sleepily pushed like that, which would annoy anyone.

Mu Hanchen irritably ran a hand through his hair, "What are you doing?"

Xia Fanxing, now both shy and angry, glared at Mu Hanchen and retorted, "I should be asking you that. Why are we sleeping in the same bed, and you holding me? What did you do to me last night!"

The Xia Fanxing he was used to seeing was always gentle and quiet. Today, she was like a startled little rabbit, both anxious and adorable, presenting a different charm.

Mu Hanchen sat up from the bed, displaying his perfectly sexy upper body, wearing only his sleep pants.

He lightly tapped his neck with a finger, a meaningful smile on his face, "I should be asking you that. What did you do to me last night?"

Xia Fanxing took a closer look at his neck and noticed a dark red mark that looked like someone bit him hard.

Could it have been done by her?
