Chapter 763: Seems a bit too cruel towards her_1

Inside Jin City Central Hospital, several hours had passed since the surgery ended.

At the early hours of dawn, the hospital was enveloped in silence.

In a special care room on the top floor of the inpatient department, the lights remained on.

Two bodyguards stood in the corridor, keeping an eye on the hallway.

In the room, Mu Lingchuan sat on the couch, a cigarette pinched between his fingers, unlit.

Xiaoxiao sat by the bed, her right arm draped over Zimo’s shoulders, her left hand gently stroking Zimo’s injured arm.

Zimo, who had just undergone surgery, was a bit weak.

The anesthesia was starting to wear off, and the pain caused a thin layer of sweat to form on her forehead.

“It’s lucky it didn’t hit the bone. What would you have done then?”

Xiaoxiao picked up a towel from the table and gently wiped Zimo’s forehead.

Enduring the pain, Zimo managed to squeeze out a comforting smile.

“It’s fine, isn’t it?

Don’t worry.”

“I’ll notify Xiaxia to come see you tomorrow morning.”

“No, don’t tell Xiaxia yet.” Zimo looked at Mu Lingchuan and swiftly stopped Xiaoxiao.

“Please, Mr.

Mu, don’t tell Xiaxia.

I don’t want her to worry.”

“Don’t panic, Mr.

Mu and I have discussed this.” Xiaoxiao, fearing that Zimo’s agitation could exacerbate her wound, immediately reassured her.

“I won’t tell her yet. When you’re feeling better, you can tell her. Okay?”

Mu Lingchuan had previously told her not to let Baili Xia know about the incident.

Telling her would be useless, it would only cause her to worry unnecessarily.

However, Xiaoxiao had originally planned to tell Xiaxia tomorrow morning.

If she didn’t tell her something so important, Xiaxia would be furious enough to strangle her.

Zimo remained silent, her gaze fixed on Mu Lingchuan.

“I also don’t plan to tell her right away. We’ll wait until you’re better.” Mu Lingchuan flicked the unlit cigarette in his hand, appearing somewhat agitated.

In discussing not telling Xiaxia about the incident with Zimo, Mu Lingchuan felt a bit cruel.

This was indeed quite harsh on the girl.

Still, it was fortunate that Zimo intended the same.

To prevent causing trouble for Baili Xia, she was willing to deal with much hardship herself.

This girl, in her interactions with Xiaxia, was extremely caring.

She was like a mix of a big brother and big sister, always standing up front to shield Xiaxia from the wind and the rain.

Xiaxia was truly lucky to have such a friend.

“Alright, I won’t tell her. But you must be more careful in the future.” Knowing Zimo’s determination, Xiaoxiao could only agree.

“Tomorrow, I will take a leave of absence from the crew to stay with you,” she added.

“There’s no need. You should continue with the shooting tomorrow.” Zimo shook her head.

“You just started, they’ll talk if you take leave immediately.

It wouldn’t be good for Xiaxia.”

“But how can you stay here alone?” Xiaoxiao clearly disagreed.

“I will personally handle this with the crew tomorrow.” Mu Lingchuan, sitting at the side, suddenly spoke.

“Mr. Mu…”

Seeing the determination in Mu Lingchuan’s eyes, Zimo and Xiaoxiao stopped protesting.

If Mr.

Mu directly asked for their leave, no one on the crew would dare to object.

However, wouldn’t this potentially negatively impact him?

Xiaoxiao glanced at Zimo, then turned to look at Mu Lingchuan.

Mr.

Mu had come to the hospital with Zimo and had not left since.

It seemed as if he still had something to say to Zimo.

The way he looked at her seemed to indicate that he found her presence rather bothersome.
