Chapter 46

Mu Xingyu opened his eyes and heard Aunt Chu’s joyful voice, “Young Master Mu, you finally woke up.”

“Aunt Chu…” Mu Xingyu felt dizzy, propped himself up, and Aunt Chu quickly assisted him, placing a pillow behind him.

“Young Master Mu, how do you feel? Is there any discomfort?”

“What happened to me?” Mu Xingyu felt a bit dizzy, and his face was very pale.

“You were overworked, coupled with excessive internal heat, so you fainted.” Aunt Chu explained, her eyes filled with worry.

Mu Xingyu, thinking about his fainting in the operating room, was about to get out of bed. “I need to go to Yunzhou.”

“Young Master Mu, don’t worry. Mr Gu has already come out of danger.” Aunt Chu quickly held him back.

“No, I can’t rest assured.” Mu Xingyu insisted on getting out of bed.

Charles came in and saw Mu Xingyu ignoring Aunt Chu’s obstruction, seemingly about to get out of bed. He hurriedly approached, saying, “My dear young master Mu, don’t stir up trouble. Ethan is already lying in bed. Do you want to continue lying down as well?”

Mu Xingyu couldn’t answer Charles’s question. He had to sit back on the bed and asked, “How did you come here?” He remembered that he hadn’t seen Charles before he fainted.

“After Ethan had such a big incident, Grandpa Gu heard about it and rushed over. I came with Grandpa Gu.” Charles explained.

Before, when Gu Yunzhou knew that Mu Xingyu had been kidnapped by Andre, he secretly brought Chen Feng and bodyguards to London without informing Grabdpa Gu. Grandpa Gu was kept in the dark, but when Gu Yunzhou had an accident, the matter could no longer be concealed.

Grandpa Gu was very worried and insisted on coming to London. Charles, naturally concerned about Gu Yunzhou and Grandpa Gu, accompanied Grandpa Gu on the trip.

“Grandpa is here!” Mu Xingyu showed a guilty expression. Gu Yunzhou’s legs were just fine, and now, due to saving him, they were injured again. He really couldn’t face Grandpa Gu.

“Don’t worry; Grandpa Gu didn’t blame you. He wants you to rest well. Ethan is already out of danger, so you don’t need to worry about him either.” Charles reassured.

“I understand. Thank you, Charles.”

“Don’t be so polite; we are good friends.” Charles smiled.

Seeing Charles there, Aunt Chu went to get the porridge that had been prepared earlier, heated it up, and brought it over.

From being kidnapped until now, Mu Xingyu hadn’t eaten or drunk anything. He had received some nutrients while unconscious, barely maintaining bodily functions. Now that he had stabilized emotionally and felt hungry, he began to eat the porridge.

“Charles, do you know how the staff who traveled with me are doing?” Mu Xingyu, eating porridge, suddenly thought of Lan Ying and others and quickly asked.

When he was kidnapped, he didn’t see Lan Ying and the others and was very worried about their safety.

“They’re fine; they’ve already returned home, and they don’t know about your kidnapping.” Charles said.

With Charles’s introduction, Mu Xingyu roughly understood what happened during his kidnapping.

Mercenaries posing as staff deceived Lan Ying and others into a meeting room, then came to see Mu Xingyu alone and kidnapped him on the way to the meeting room. Lan Ying and others waited but didn’t find Mu Xingyu, feeling something was wrong, so they called Steve and realized Mu Xingyu was missing.

At this point, Gu Yunzhou had received a call from Andre, saying Mu Xingyu was in his hands.

Gu Yunzhou was, of course, very worried, immediately put down his work, and without hesitation, flew to London.

Considering Mu Xingyu’s public status, Gu Yunzhou used the excuse of Mu Xingyu having private matters to attend to and asked Lan Ying to take the staff back to their country first.

Gu Yunzhou’s words were convincing, and Lan Ying took the staff, including Xiao Ya, on a plane back to the country.

“That’s good; it’s better not to make them worry.” Mu Xingyu also felt relieved.

After drinking the porridge, he wasn’t as dizzy. He got up to see Gu Yunzhou.

Although his body was still very weak, he was reluctant to use the Spiritual mist because Gu Yunzhou needed it more.

Arriving at the ward, he saw Granpa Gu sitting by the bedside, looking at the unconscious Gu Yunzhou, lost in thought.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Granpa Gu came to his senses, and upon seeing Mu Xingyu, said, “Xingyu, why did you come over? The doctor said you need more rest.”

“Granpa, I can’t rest assured about Yunzhou.” Mu Xingyu said and approached the bed.

Gu Yunzhou had injuries on his back and could only lie on the bed. His hands were connected to an IV, receiving fluids. The monitors in the ward were monitoring his vital signs, emitting subtle sounds.

Now, Gu Yunzhou looked paler and in worse condition than when Mu Xingyu first saw him after being reborn.

Mu Xingyu felt a pang of regret; if he had absorbed Andre’s life force earlier, Andre might not have been able to trigger the explosion button. He regretted it deeply, quickly released the Spiritual mist, and let it all merge into Gu Yunzhou’s body.

“Xingyu, don’t worry; the doctor says Yunzhou’s condition has stabilized, and he’ll wake up soon.”

“Yeah, I hope he wakes up soon. I have a lot to say to him.” Mu Xingyu nodded. Initially, he planned to attend the fashion show and then return to China. He intended to confess to Gu Yunzhou on his birthday, but now all his plans have been disrupted.

Mu Xingyu sat by the bedside, waiting for the Spiritual mist from the three lotus flowers to be completely released. Only then did he leave the ward.

He went straight to the garden, continuously absorbing the life force from the surrounding trees, generating more Spiritual mist.

At this moment, Mu Xingyu was surprised to find that his control over the absorber had become more proficient. The mist absorber’s distribution range was broader, and it absorbed more life force.

It seemed that constantly replenishing and depleting the Spiritual mist prompted changes in the bracelet. Mu Xingyu finally revealed a faint smile.

When the three lotus flowers bloomed again, Mu Xingyu returned to Gu Yunzhou’s ward and infused him with Spiritual mist once more.

Coincidentally, Aunt Chu brought porridge to feed Gu Yunzhou. Mu Xingyu took the initiative to take on this task.

“Grandpa, you go rest first; I’ll stay here.”

“Okay, you talk to Yunzhou.” After guarding for a day, Grandpa Gu’s body couldn’t hold up, so he left first.

Gu Yunzhou was currently in a coma, and any careless movement during meals could lead to choking. Mu Xingyu handled the porridge very carefully, feeding Gu Yunzhou bit by bit while talking to him.

“Yunzhou, wake up soon. I have a lot to say to you.”

“It’s all my fault. If I had been more decisive, you wouldn’t have…”

“Aren’t you curious about my kiss? Wake up soon, and I’ll tell you.”

…

Aunt Chu originally planned to check on Gu Yunzhou’s condition but, hearing Mu Xingyu’s words, gently closed the door, not wanting to disturb the serene and warm atmosphere in the room.

Due to the nourishment of the Spiritual mist, Gu Yunzhou’s condition improved significantly. When the doctor came to change the dressing, he was amazed to find that Gu Yunzhou’s wounds had already scabbed over, emitting a surprised sound.

“So quickly scabbed over, truly miraculous!” the doctor exclaimed.

Charles, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but agree, “Yeah, his self-healing ability is truly remarkable.” Charles thought about how quickly Gu Yunzhou recovered after the car accident, sharing a common sentiment with the doctors.

Mu Xingyu, however, felt a bit uneasy, worrying that Gu Yunzhou’s rapid recovery might raise suspicions among the doctors. Of course, no matter how skeptical they were, they couldn’t possibly fathom the existence of spiritual mist.

Fortunately, later, Charles informed him that the Gu family was a shareholder in this hospital, and Gu Yunzhou’s attending physician was a highly trusted doctor in the Gu family. This reassured Mu Xingyu.

The next day, he received a call from Lan Ying.

“Xingyu, how are you in the London?” Lan Ying found Mu Xingyu’s abrupt departure unusual, not in line with his usual style, but trusting Gu Yunzhou’s authority, she didn’t think much of it initially. However, after returning home, she repeatedly recalled the details of the fashion launch and the surprise of Brown and Steve when they couldn’t find Mu Xingyu. The more she thought, the more suspicious it seemed, prompting her to call Mu Xingyu.

” Lan Jie, I’m fine. I had some personal matters to attend to the day before yesterday, didn’t get a chance to tell you, I’m sorry for making you worry,” Mu Xingyu followed Gu Yunzhou’s narrative, explaining to Lan Ying.

“Next time you leave, remember to tell me.”

“Don’t worry, there won’t be a next time,” Mu Xingyu hastily added. This time, he was kidnapped by Andre, and he was certain such a situation wouldn’t happen again in the future.

“Okay, finish your business quickly; I’m waiting for you to come back.”

Thinking of his work commitments, Mu Xingyu quickly said to Lan Ying, ” Lan Jie, I have to stay in the London for a while; my work will have to be postponed.”

“Alright, I’ll coordinate, you take care of your personal matters first.”

After ending the call with Lan Ying, Mu Xingyu finally relieved a burden.

…

Time quickly approached Gu Yunzhou’s birthday. Originally, this was a day Mu Xingyu eagerly anticipated, but with Gu Yunzhou still unconscious, he could only place the box containing the ring under the pillow.

“I’ll consider this as you accepting my engagement ring,” Mu Xingyu said to himself.

He couldn’t help but laugh. When they got married, Gu Yunzhou was also unconscious, and he personally put the wedding ring on Gu Yunzhou. Unexpectedly, when giving a ring again, he encountered Gu Yunzhou unconscious once more. Mu Xingyu thought maybe he shouldn’t give Gu Yunzhou any more rings in the future; in case of another unexpected event, he would regret it.

The next day, Gu Yunzhou still hadn’t woken up, but his fingers and eyes began to twitch slightly, a positive sign according to the doctor.

Mu Xingyu had been taking care of Gu Yunzhou. After the IV drip, he used alcohol to clean Gu Yunzhou’s hands and placed them under the blanket. Then, he dipped a cotton swab in water and applied it to Gu Yunzhou’s lips.

” MrMu , don’t worry. Gu Zong endured such difficulties before and recovered. He will be fine now,” Aunt Chu reassured him.

“His condition is getting better, and I’m glad, but I really wish he would wake up now,” Mu Xingyu expressed his concern.

Suddenly, Mu Xingyu noticed that Gu Yunzhou’s lips were tightly closed, and his teeth were clenched. Worried, he quickly asked Aunt Chu to call the doctor.

“Yunzhou, Yunzhou!” he called out.

Gu Yunzhou’s muscles tensed, and his eyebrows furrowed, as if enduring something. Concerned, Mu Xingyu infused the newly brewed spiritual mist into Gu Yunzhou’s body.

However, Gu Yunzhou’s condition did not change. His unusual state was not due to his physical condition but rather a result of conscious activity.

Fortunately, the doctor arrived promptly, examined Gu Yunzhou, and explained that he seemed to have entered a phase of conscious activity, causing the abnormal reactions.

This was both good and bad news.

On the positive side, it indicated that Gu Yunzhou had regained consciousness, and his awareness was clear. However, on the negative side, intense conscious activity could affect Gu Yunzhou’s body and emotions.

For instance, at this moment, Gu Yunzhou was not in good shape. The doctor planned to open Gu Yunzhou’s tightly closed mouth to prevent him from biting himself. However, just then, the unconscious Gu Yunzhou suddenly waved his hand and sat up from the bed. However, this abrupt movement affected the scar on his back, causing it to reopen and stain the thin hospital gown with blood.

“Yunzhou, you finally woke up!” Mu Xingyu exclaimed excitedly, quickly helping Gu Yunzhou lie back down.

“Xingyu…” Gu Yunzhou’s body was weak, and even his voice sounded feeble.

“Don’t say anything,” Mu Xingyu told the doctor, “Hurry up and treat his wounds!”

Under the treatment of the spiritual mist, the burns and scratches on Gu Yunzhou’s back had already improved significantly, and now his back was covered with healing scars. However, his intense movement just now tore open two of the scars. The doctor stopped the bleeding and began examining his overall condition.

Grandpa Gu hurried over as well. Seeing Gu Yunzhou awake, he finally showed a relieved smile.

After the doctor finished the examination and confirmed that Gu Yunzhou was fine, both Grandpa Gu and Mu Xingyu breathed sighs of relief.

When the doctor left, Grandpa Gu said, “You were unconscious for five days. We worried for five days. From now on, you can’t risk yourself like this again.”

“I know, Grandpa. This time I didn’t think it through. It won’t happen again in the future,” Gu Yunzhou replied.

Grandpa Gu, seeing that Gu Yunzhou had just awakened, refrained from delivering harsh words. Moreover, he knew that Gu Yunzhou had gone to save Mu Xingyu, so he couldn’t reproach him further. After sitting for a while, Grandpa Gu, finding an excuse, left the room.

Once Grandpa Gu left, Gu Yunzhou said, ‘Xingyu, I’ve made you worried during these days of my unconsciousness.’

“So you knew I would worry? Mr. Gu, please don’t risk your life in the future,” Mu Xingyu expressed.

“I don’t want you to get hurt,” Gu Yunzhou replied.

Mu Xingyu understood Gu Yunzhou’s thoughts, but he would rather be the one getting hurt than seeing Gu Yunzhou injured.

At this moment, Aunt Chu brought food—a bowl of lean pork and preserved egg congee and a cup of fish head soup.

“Aunt Chu, I’m here, you can go rest first,” Mu Xingyu placed the food on a small table beside the bed and said to Aunt Chu.

Aunt Chu nodded, smiled, and left.

Mu Xingyu helped Gu Yunzhou sit up and gently leaned him against the pillow to avoid any contact with the wounds. The box, placed under the pillow, fell to the ground, and Mu Xingyu quickly picked it up.

Gu Yunzhou, seeing the familiar box, felt puzzled. “What is this?”

Mu Xingyu, in this situation, decided to take the opportunity to express the words he intended to say on Gu Yunzhou’s birthday.

“This is a ring I customized, belonging to a pair with the one you wanted to give me initially.” Saying this, Mu Xingyu opened the box, revealing the engagement ring inside.

Gu Yunzhou was very surprised, looking at the familiar ring, he hadn’t fully registered what was happening.

“Mr. Gu, this is a reciprocal gift. Will you accept this ring?” Mu Xingyu asked.

After understanding Mu Xingyu’s intentions, Gu Yunzhou smiled and said, “I haven’t given out my ring yet.”

“Give it again, and I’ll definitely accept it this time.” Initially, Mu Xingyu had rejected it as he didn’t have feelings for Gu Yunzhou, but now, he would undoubtedly accept the engagement ring without hesitation.

“It’s a pity I don’t have it with me,” Gu Yunzhou regretted, then looked at the ring in the box and said, “Xingyu, if you’re giving a gift, you should do it with some sincerity. Put it on for me.”

“Okay, Mr. Gu.” Mu Xingyu smiled and took out the ring, placing it on the middle finger of Gu Yunzhou’s left hand.

Gu Yunzhou looked at the two rings on his left hand and suddenly frowned, “Both of these rings were put on by you.”

“I originally planned to give them to you on your birthday, but…” Mu Xingyu calculated everything, except that he didn’t anticipate being kidnapped by Andre.

Gu Yunzhou also thought of Andre and asked, “How is Andre now?”

“Dead, shattered into pieces.” Andre’s fate gave Mu Xingyu a sense of relief.

Gu Yunzhou nodded, “Even if he didn’t die, I would make sure he did.” When he learned that Mu Xingyu had been kidnapped by Andre, Gu Yunzhou regretted it deeply. If he hadn’t shown mercy, Mu Xingyu wouldn’t have been in danger. Even if Andre survived the explosion, Gu Yunzhou would eliminate him to prevent future troubles.

“Let’s not talk about that. Quickly, have the porridge,” Mu Xingyu didn’t want to dwell on unpleasant matters, handing the porridge to Gu Yunzhou.

In the following days, Gu Yunzhou continued to receive treatment in the hospital, with Mu Xingyu taking care of him.

After ensuring Gu Yunzhou was out of danger, Grandpa Gu planned to return to China. Before leaving, he had a private conversation with Mu Xingyu.

“Xingyu, there’s something I want to entrust to you.”

“What is it, Grandpa? Please tell me.”

“You know Yunzhou wouldn’t have come to London originally, but this time, he overcame his inner struggles for you,” Grandpa Gu smiled, “Xingyu, he cares about you. While you accompany him in London to recover, take the opportunity to comfort him. The death of his parents was an accident, not his fault. He doesn’t need to bear the blame.”

“I will,” Mu Xingyu nodded.

After Grandpa Gu left, Gu Yunzhou, feeling that his injuries were almost healed, decided to return to China.

Mu Xingyu, remembering Grandpa Gu’s words, suggested, “Take a few more days to rest. If you don’t want to stay in the hospital, we can go back to your place.”

From Chen Feng, Mu Xingyu knew that after leaving Windsor Castle, Gu Yunzhou stayed in an apartment in the city center. It was close to the company, making commuting convenient.

Gu Yunzhou hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Okay.”

Mu Xingyu immediately arranged for Aunt Chu to have someone clean the apartment. Despite regular cleaning, Mu Xingyu wanted to ensure everything was in order.
