"Let me tell you some bad news, Lu Manqing has lost the child in her belly. She never wanted this child from the beginning; otherwise, why would she have attacked you at the stairs? If the child were Jiang Chengmu's, she would have used the child to blackmail him long ago, why would she come to blackmail you? So the saying that a lack of intelligence leads to suffering is true; just look at your current state as an example!"
"It's my brain that's not working well, but I'm already disabled, so please don't scold me. I'm really hungry right now, President, could you give me something to eat?"
She had only eaten a little for lunch before going to her appointment and had lost so much blood; she urgently needed to replenish her energy!
"..." Looking at her, Mu Tongzi suddenly felt a surge of frustration. If he weren't worried about her being hurt, he would have wanted to scold her properly!
Stiffening her body, she moved her uninjured left hand in front of him. "If you still feel unsatisfied, why don't you bite me?"
Every time she felt wronged by him in bed and wanted to vent, biting him always made her feel much better!
Mu Tongzi glanced at her indifferently, feeling helpless and pained. He pushed her hand away and said irritably, "I'm not a puppy; why would I bite people?"
"..." Being indirectly scolded back made her feel much more comfortable inside. It wasn't that she had a masochistic tendency; it was just that knowing he would still scold her meant he wasn't really angry.
"Then you're not angry anymore, right?"
"Why are you talking so much? Didn't you want something to eat?" Saying this, he opened a thermos on the cabinet and poured the congee into a bowl, holding it out with a spoon in front of her.
Smelling the strong herbal scent, Green Qi pursed her lips and refused to open her mouth. With a pitiful frown, she pleaded, "I don't want to eat this bitter stuff; can we have something else?"
"The herbs in here are all wild and worth at least two or three hundred thousand. How can you say you won't eat it?" Someone raised an eyebrow and said with a look of disappointment.
"I won't eat it! If it were something worth two or three hundred thousand, I wouldn't be able to eat it. If you want to eat, you can eat it yourself!" To him, two or three hundred thousand wasn't a significant amount, it was even just the price of a set of clothes, but she still felt there was no need to waste money.
"Right now, you're lying in a hospital bed. Why should I eat this terrible food? Open your mouth quickly!"
"You know it's terrible, so why do you want me to eat it? Don't impose on others what you don't want for yourself, understand?"
"This is good stuff; if you eat it, you'll recover faster!" Mu Tongzi gently coaxed.
Hearing this, Green Qi felt a bit uncomfortable. "Fine... I'll eat it, but with so many medicinal ingredients mixed together, it won't kill me, right?"
"If you die, I'll accompany you." He looked up and said seriously. His calmness and sincerity startled Green Qi!
"I told you I'm fine; look at how scared you are!" Seeing her face suddenly change, Mu Tongzi shook his head irritably. "This porridge was made by a traditional Chinese medicine doctor; do you not trust the doctor?"
"It's not that..." She shook her head. "I really don't like eating this kind of thing!"
Especially the bitterness and medicinal taste of the medicinal porridge were even harder to accept than traditional Chinese medicine!
"Then next time I'll make soup with the medicinal ingredients!"
"No way, there won't be a next time. I can't afford such precious things; you should keep them for yourself!"
"What’s mine is yours. Open your mouth; didn't you just say you're hungry?"
"..." Unable to refuse, in the end, this thing still ended up in her stomach.
Furrowing her brows, she finally managed to finish a bowl of porridge, and after eating two pieces of Candied Fruit, the bitterness in her mouth gradually faded away.
