The sudden loud noise was especially jarring, causing her heart to tremble in fear.
Gu Qili instinctively wanted to go and see what happened, but then she remembered that their current relationship didn't even qualify as strangers; so why bother?
With that thought, Gu Qili sat back down.
There were no more sounds from the bedroom after that noise. Although she sat steadily, she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, wondering if he had suddenly fallen and fainted, unable to get up with his leg in plaster.
In the end, Gu Qili cursed her own weakness and still went to knock on his bedroom door. There was no response for a long time, and her intuition told her something was wrong, so she pushed the door open.
Looking around the room, she finally saw Mu Shuoqian sitting in the corner by the bed, his black shirt wrinkled, and his handsome face covered in sweat. He was looking out the window, his gaze fixing on those two grapevines.
