“You know that I’m the second daughter of the Yuan family? Then you should have guessed that I don’t know how to cook. Being able to cook instant noodles is already my limit…”
“All those years of studying for nothing?”
Wen Xuchen said calmly before picking up his chopsticks and eating the noodles.
Yuan Muchun pursed her lips. He was really persistent.
“You don’t look… like you don’t have the money to hire a servant…”
Wen Xuchen pursed his lips. “I have money. What does it have to do with your apology?”
Yuan Muchun shrugged helplessly. “It’s alright. Hurry up and eat. Otherwise, it won’t taste good when it goes soft.”
Wen Xuchen took two bites and looked up at her.
“You ate it?”
Yuan Muchun pursed her lips. She hadn’t eaten anything last night. At least she had gotten lunch from the uncles at the police station this afternoon. Otherwise, she would have starved to death.
“I just ate a cucumber and a tomato.”
Wen Xuchen frowned. “Don’t you know how to cook more noodles?”
Yuan Muchun hurriedly waved her hand. “I’m really not hungry!”
Moreover, she had searched the entire kitchen and only found this packet of instant noodles.
She wanted to eat, but there was nothing.
Wen Xuchen couldn’t be bothered to argue with her and continued eating.
After dinner, Yuan Muchun washed the dishes and was about to leave.
However, Wen Xuchen spoke first.
“There are many rooms here. You have to decide if you want to stay or not, but the premise is that you don’t delay my breakfast. If you can’t do it… I think your actions last night should be called trespassing, right?”
Yuan Muchun stared at him in disbelief. “I’ve already explained this.”
Wen Xuchen didn’t say anything and went upstairs.
Although Yuan Muchun was angry, she chose to stay when she thought of the evil faces she had to face at home.
With ease, she found the room she had stayed in previously. The four-piece set on the bed and the clothes in the wardrobe were all still there.
After another long day, she fell asleep quickly after washing up.
However, before she could sleep for long, someone knocked on her door.
In the middle of the night, she was so frightened that she jumped up from the bed. She heard Wen Xuchen calling her.
She sounded anxious. Without thinking, she put on her pajamas and ran to open the door.
The moment the door opened, a tall and heavy figure pounced on her.
She was almost thrown to the ground. She screamed in fear and reached out to push the man on top of her.
“You, you, you… What are you doing? Hooligan…”
“Shut up!”
Wen Xuchen’s deep voice sounded like he was gritting his teeth.
Just as Yuan Muchun sensed that something was amiss, Wen Xuchen’s voice sounded again.
“Damn it, did you poison me?”
Yuan Muchun was stunned. “Huh?”
Wen Xuchen really didn’t have the energy to appreciate how adorable she was at this moment. He held his last breath and said,
“Call the emergency number.”
Hence, on the third day after Wen Xuchen returned to the country, he was successfully hospitalized by Yuan Muchun.
Yuan Muchun didn’t know much about Wen Xuchen, so he knew nothing about his assistant secretary.
Seeing the man’s tall body lying on her like a pile of mud, Yuan Muchun finally believed that the man wasn’t being a hooligan.
She hurriedly pushed the man aside and found her phone to call the ambulance.
Watching the doctor push Wen Xuchen into the emergency room, Yuan Muchun sat on the waiting chair outside with a look of despair.
Her face was pale and she sat there weakly.
The doctor had just come out to say that the man had food poisoning and asked her what he had eaten today…
What did she eat?
He had not eaten anything at the police station the entire day. He had only eaten the packet of instant noodles she had cooked for him tonight.
But why did instant noodles get food poisoning?
What had happened to her these few days?
Why did so many unlucky things have to happen to her one after another?
There was a huge mess at home and she still didn’t know what to do. She had brought him to the police station in the morning and the emergency room at night.
She looked up at the three red words on the door of the emergency room. Her hand that was holding the phone trembled.
No, if this man really wanted to be calculative…
She had no idea what happened next. She scrolled through her phone, eager to find someone to help her.
–
When Yuan Muchun saw Shen Fanxing, tears streamed down her face as though she had found a reliable backer.
That’s right, she didn’t look for anyone in the Yuan family. The first person she thought of was Shen Fanxing.
That was because Shen Fanxing gave her a sense of reliability. She felt that everything would be resolved when it came to her.
In this world, there was almost nothing that was difficult for her.
“Muchun?”
Shen Fanxing’s familiar cold voice sounded. Yuan Muchun looked up and stared at the ‘pink polar bear’ for a few seconds before blinking.
“Sister-in-law?”
Shen Fanxing took two steps towards her.
“What’s wrong?”
After confirming that it was Shen Fanxing, Yuan Muchun didn’t care about her outfit. She stood up fearfully and wiped her tears. Like a child who had done something wrong, she walked towards Shen Fanxing.
Shen Fanxing heard Yuan Muchun’s trembling voice over the phone. Without even looking for her clothes, she put on the coat Bo Jinchuan had given her and hurried out.
Bo Jinchuan chased after her with his scarf and hat.
When she reached the elevator, he surrounded her tightly.
“Sister-in-law, am I going to jail?”
Shen Fanxing frowned and asked again,
“What exactly happened?”
Yuan Sichun sobbed as she recounted everything that had happened today to Shen Fanxing.
“I only cooked a bowl of instant noodles for him. I didn’t know such a thing would happen.
Sister-in-law, do you think I should push the blame to the instant noodles factory now? If it’s really because of the instant noodles poisoning, then there must be a problem with the factory’s quality, right?
Yuan Muchun was really frightened. He tried his best not to bear the responsibility.
She had never done anything bad in her life.
If she had to point it out, she had pushed Yuan Sichun into Qin Zhixuan’s room two nights ago.
Could it be that her retribution had arrived so quickly?
Shen Fanxing led her to a chair and asked,
“This matter was purely an accident. There shouldn’t be any problem. However, you’re right. If there’s a problem with the food, I think there should be a problem with the quality and hygiene of the instant noodles factory.”
Yuan Muchun’s expression relaxed slightly. Not long after, he continued,
“Then… if he really dies… will I have to bear some responsibility? If that’s the case, how many years will I be in jail?”
Shen Fanxing was at a loss for words.
