C37 How Helpless Was He at That Time
Bai cleared his throat and said, "Xi Muqian did have contact with women in the past. He was drugged and thrown into a room with several women. He was tortured."
Li Huang frowned. There was a trace of doubt on her face.
Bai continued, "Xi Muqian is also a ruthless character. After being locked up in that room for several hours, he did not want to touch those women. Later, he pretended to faint, and those women screamed in fear. The guards at the door were afraid to kill people, so they opened the door. Just like that, Xi Muqian took the opportunity to escape.
When he returned home the next day, it was as if nothing had happened. The person who told me the truth said that Xi Muqian must have gone to find a woman that night. Because he heard that the medicine was specially concocted by someone. It was very powerful. Without a woman, he would never be able to cure it. "
Li Huang felt lost and inexplicably thought of Xi Muqian's first love, which was no longer in the world.
Bai continued, "Not long after that, the maid passed by him and accidentally touched his arm. He suddenly fell ill. His family found out that he fell ill."
Bai seemed to be telling a story about someone else.
However, Li Huang's heart inexplicably ached.
Only Xi Muqian himself knew how helpless Xi Muqian was at that time.
How did he manage to hold on that night?
Seeing that she did not speak, Bai nudged him with his elbow. "Are you shocked too?"
Li Huang came back to her senses and looked at him. "Is this news reliable?"
"Don't worry, it's very reliable. I paid a high price to find one of the servants guarding the door back then."
Li Huang did not pay attention to this and asked again, "Then who was the one who drugged him?"
"The person who provided the information was not sure. When he said that he was sent to look at the door, he was pushed in. It was only after he opened the door that he found out that the person inside was Xi Muqian."
Li Huang sighed slightly.
Bai raised his hand and poked her in the head. "What are you sighing for? "Don't fall in love with him."
Li Huang glared at him.
Bai bared his teeth. "Don't look at me like that. I'm doing this for your own good. A marriage without love could live for a lifetime. "But a marriage without sex cannot be held on."
Li Huang patted his head. "Alright, I have my own plans. Hurry up and do your work."
Bai covered his head and shouted in pain. "Be gentle. You want to tear down the bridge before you cross the river?"
Li Huang pursed her lips and smiled, "I know how to swim."
In the afternoon, Li Huang received Nanxi from the kindergarten. She looked around the crowd but did not see Xi Fou.
She held Nanxi's hand and got into the car. While driving, she asked, "Did Xi Fou not come to school today?"
Nanxi said obediently, "Yes, but the kindergarten is not over yet. His mother came early to pick him up. He was the first to leave."
Li Huang was puzzled. She had picked him up so early. Could it be something?
Or was it that they were avoiding her?
She shook her head. That shouldn't be the case.
Xi Muqian came back a little late today.
Nanxi was hungry and had been fed early. Old Ding took him to play in the backyard.
There were only two people at dinner.
Li Huang was strangely diligent. She kept changing chopsticks to get food for Xi Muqian.
Xi Muqian could not help but look at her. "Do you need my help for something?"
Li Huang shook her head. "No."
Xi Muqian lowered his head and looked at the pile of vegetables in his bowl. He was puzzled.
Why was she so warm to him?
As usual, Xi Muqian went to sleep with Nanxi at night.
When he came back, Li Huang stood by the door and said gently, "I put some water in the bathtub. You can take a bath. It will relieve your fatigue."
Xi Muqian looked at her with suspicion. This woman was too abnormal tonight.
"Are you sure you are okay?"
Li Huang smiled. "Of course not. I just feel that you must be very tired after a day of work. When you came back, you even helped me sleep with my nephew. I just want to thank you."
Xi Muqian did not believe her words in his heart.
He went to the bathroom and took a hot bath.
Usually, Li Huang was already in bed. But today she was standing by the vanity mirror and waved at him.
"Muqian, let me help you blow your hair."
Xi Muqian could not bear it anymore. This woman was not right.
He walked to Li Huang and took out the hair dryer from her hand. He put it in front of the dressing table.
After that, he turned her around and threw her onto the bed.
Li Huang cried out.
Just as she was about to sit up, she was stopped by Xi Muqian, who had jumped onto the bed.
Li Huang frowned. "Muqian, what are you doing?"
"I should be asking you this. What are you doing tonight? "Pick some food for me, put some bath water for me, and blow my hair for me. You are very abnormal, do you know? "If you have something to say, say it."
Li Huang was speechless. This was the first time she wanted to be good to others, but in the end, she still ended up like this...
"Speak. What is it?"
Li Huang pouted. "I just want to be nice to you."
Xi Muqian paused. Be nice to him?
"Do you know that you are trying to seduce me?"
"I, um..."
Before Li Huang could finish her sentence, she was stopped by a kiss.
She cried out in her heart. She felt sorry for Xi Muqian's encounter and wanted to comfort him. Why was he still making things difficult for her?
Seeing that Xi Muqian was going to continue, Li Huang quickly held his hand.
"I'll talk, I'll talk."
Xi Muqian suppressed the impulse in his heart and lowered his head to look at her.
Li Huang exhaled. "I'm sorry. I investigated you."
"You investigated me?" Xi Muqian's expression was solemn.
Li Huang nodded. "I checked how you got it."
Xi Muqian sat on the bed and looked at her with a complicated expression.
She treated him so well tonight. It was obvious that she had found out what she wanted to know. Otherwise, she would not pity him so much.
Seeing his eyes, Li Huang felt a little nervous. She quickly sat up and explained to Xi Muqian, "Muqian, I mean no harm. I just felt too much pain when I saw you get sick that day. I wanted to help you, but I don't even know how you got sick. I don't know how to treat you. That's why... "
Xi Muqian smiled sarcastically. "You want to help me, don't you? I have already told you the way. Since you are in such a hurry, I will fulfill your wish."
He pushed Li Huang down and for the first time, there was a sense of distance in his eyes as he looked at her.
