Chapter 21

Mu Yang was stunned for a moment. Yan Shu's actions made it difficult for him to get into the right mindset. After a while, he gently stroked her head with his hand that wasn't on an IV drip, buried his head in Yan Shu's hair, and let her hug him. At this moment, Mu Yang didn't care, Yan Shu didn't care, only their two hearts were slowly beating together.

"Cough, cough, cough," a coughing sound made the two of them look up. The nurse came over and said apologetically, "You two can hug each other for as long as you want, but Mr. Mu, please let me remove the needle first."

Yan Shu stepped back, embarrassed. The nurse walked over, neatly removed the IV, packed up her things, and casually asked, "Is this Mr. Mu's girlfriend? You two are so happy."

“No, she is my wife.” Mu Yang smiled proudly. “She was the planner of that ‘Choice Moment’ advertisement.”

"Really!" Mu Yang's words drew an admiring look from the nurse towards Yan Shu. "It's...it's that watch ad, isn't it? Mrs. Mu, I really love that ad! You're amazing!"

"Really?" Yan Shu was a little flattered. She really didn't know that the advertisement would be so successful. For a moment, the nurse's praise made her feel a little scared. "It must have been Ah Sen who directed it."

"Ah Sen! It really is Ah Sen!" The nurse was genuinely excited upon hearing this name.

Mu Yang smiled and shook his head, looking at Yan Shu's blank expression, wondering what expression to make. He chuckled and cursed inwardly: "Idiot." Then he said to the nurse, "I want to rest."

"Ah." Realizing her lapse in composure, the nurse smiled apologetically. "Okay, here's your medicine." Before leaving, she smiled and said to Yan Shu, "You're really great!"

"You were terrified," Mu Yang asked Yan Shu with a smile.

“A little.” Yan Shu turned her head. “I really didn’t know that advertisement would…”

"My wife made it, how could it not be good?" Mu Yang said with a smile. "Do you believe me now?" He adjusted the position of his head to find a comfortable way to rest.

"Yes. Probably." Yan Shu nodded, looking at Mu Yang's thin face, she said with heartache, "You should rest. Don't talk too much." She held Mu Yang's hand, "You must get better soon."

Mu Yang smiled and gently stroked Yan Shu's concerned face. "Definitely. We both will."

"What! Appendicitis!" Yan Shu stood at the door of the ward, looking at Yang Sen in front of her, and shouted in a low voice.

"Yeah." Yang Sen pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and said innocently, "He'd been working like crazy for a while, and the pressure was too much. Plus, some idiot suddenly left, so he got taken to the hospital that day. What else did you think it was?"

"I thought...I thought...sob..." Yan Shu couldn't continue, but tears welled up in her eyes. She squatted down on the ground, unable to stop crying.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you crying?" Yang Sen panicked and quickly squatted down. "Everyone's watching. Do you want me to be recognized? I don't want to have a scandal with you."

"But, but, I'm so happy, I can't control myself," Yan Shu said between sobs. Thank goodness! Mu Yang will be alright. "I always thought... I always thought what was cut off was... You... how could you lie to me?"

"I didn't lie to you at all. It was written on Mu Yang's hospital bed, you didn't even see it." You're such an idiot, blaming yourself for this. Seriously.

"How can I be in the mood to watch?" Yan Shu sobbed. "Aren't you deliberately misleading me?"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Women are the most unreasonable creatures, so he had no choice but to raise the white flag and surrender. "Stop crying. Otherwise, I'll break off all ties with Mu Yang, and you'll be fully responsible."

"But...but I can't stop it."

Yang Sen rolled his eyes helplessly: "Come on, take a deep breath, yes, like that, take a deep breath, and another deep breath. Okay, wipe away your tears, okay, perfect. Hurry up and go in. How can you take so long to see someone off? I just came from the film set to see Mu Yang. Before leaving, Yan Shu said she'd see him off, so I did. Standing at the door, she asked with a heavy face, 'Tell me honestly, what exactly is Mu Yang's illness?' She looked like she was prepared for a huge blow. I told her, and she reacted like this again. I can't take it anymore. 'Okay, hurry up and go in.'"

"Okay." Yan Shu nodded. "I'm going in. I still have a few days off."

"I know." Yang Sen waved his hand, but after a while he called out to Yan Shu and smiled, "Xiao Shu, there's something I need to tell you: Back then, there was another reason why I asked you to be my assistant, because Mu Yang told me about your dream at the airport, and he said he wanted me to take care of you."

Yan Shu was stunned for a moment. Was it Mu Yang? The next moment, she laughed: "Am I doing well now?"

"What?"

"Your assistant."

Yang Sen smiled at her: "Very good. I'm so glad I have you as my assistant. By the way, Xiao Yi said he got a contract, and the client wants us to work together again."

“Okay, my partyner.” Yan Shu smiled easily.

"My partyner!" Yang Sen frowned upon hearing this address, smiled, made a goodbye gesture, and turned to leave.

Yan Shu smiled too. Unbeknownst to her, something about herself was quietly changing. She turned and pushed open the door to the ward. Mu Yang was reading a book, a serious expression on his handsome face.

This was the man she loved deeply! She had decided to love him wholeheartedly, no matter what lay ahead. She sat down beside his bed, and Mu Yang asked, "Why did it take you so long to get here?"

"There are some things." Yan Shu looked at Mu Yang, but she was still a little uneasy. She wanted to know the answer. "Mu Yang...you..." She opened her mouth, then closed it again.

"What's up?"

Yan Shu looked at Mu Yang and took a deep breath: "Do you really love me?"

Mu Yang looked at her without saying a word, but a hint of anger was faintly visible in his eyes.

"I... I mean, I'm not pretty, I'm stupid, and my family background is very ordinary. In short, I'm like this... Anyway... I..." Yan Shu rambled on for a while, then shut her mouth, held her breath, and waited for Mu Yang's answer.

“Yes…” Mu Yang sighed. “You say you’re incredibly ordinary, but that’s exactly how I’m drawn to you. There was this girl who told me for the first time clearly that I should do what I wanted, no matter what lay ahead. Her eyes were so beautiful then, you know? And I’ve always known what I wanted. I don’t want to say anything else, but, Xiao Shu, I know I need you, I love you, it’s always been that way.” He looked at Yan Shu. “Life in America was lonely. Luckily, I had many friends, I had studies and work, but not you. I could only contact Xiao Wei. Why didn’t you reply to my letters? Did you think I would forget you someday? No, you won’t. You’re here, always have been.” He pointed to his heart. “Are you satisfied with this answer?”

Yan Shu took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to cry: "I...I never knew. I...I don't want to lose Mu Yang." She paused, "I love Mu Yang." After saying that, she lowered her head and kissed Mu Yang.

Mu Yang smiled and said to her lips, "Let's go back and visit Mom and Dad another day."

"Mmm." The sound faded from her lips.

Three soft knocks on the door, and Mu Yang replied, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Viviane walked in, as beautiful as ever. She stood in front of Mu Yang.

"You solved it." There was no question, just a statement. She knew Mu Yang was capable, but she hadn't expected him to react so quickly, effortlessly resolving the situation she had set up without her even realizing it.

"Yes. Very tired." Mu Yang nodded. Viviane was a very talented friend, but also a very troublesome enemy. "Look, she's in the hospital." He chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"I lost." Viviane stood up straight, her head slightly raised, looking at Mu Yang lying on the hospital bed with an air of supreme authority.

“No, you don’t,” Mu Yang said with a smile. “These things have nothing to do with winning or losing, nothing to do with being outstanding or not, it’s just about whether or not someone is the right person. You are outstanding, but Xiao Shu is the right person for me.” He paused for a moment, “And you, one day you will also meet such a person.” His words were heartfelt and full of blessings.

Viviane sighed, seemingly collapsing to her knees. "You won." All the exhaustion seemed to surge up at once. She stepped forward. "I'm going back tomorrow. There are many things I've abandoned for you. Now, I'm going back."

She leaned down, her alluring eyes meeting Mu Yang's slightly surprised gaze. She chuckled softly, finally seeing a different look in Mu Yang's eyes.

"Goodbye." She whispered goodbye to him, and then placed a kiss on his lips, the first and the last.

"Ah." A soft exclamation was accompanied by the sound of something falling to the ground.

"I think you and your wife have something to explain." With a mischievous laugh, Viviane straightened up and stepped aside slightly. Mu Yang saw Yan Shu behind her with a surprised expression. The freshly bought flowers were scattered all over the ground.

"Goodbye, Mu Yang." She turned around, smiling at Yan Shu, and said, "Yan Shu, goodbye." Then, with elegant and confident steps, she walked out of the room and continued on her way. It really is goodbye, Mu Yang.

Mu Yang, however, wore an unusually tense expression in the ward.

"Xiao Shu, just now... really nothing." Why is he so nervous? She didn't do anything wrong. "Really, she's going back to America, so... she came to say goodbye."

Yan Shu didn't react to his words, she was busy picking up the flowers on the ground one by one, without saying a word.

“Xiao Shu…” Viviane, why did you have to pull this stunt before leaving? Now the agreement you just reached with Xiao Shu is going to be ruined again… “Really…”

"Stop talking." Yan Shu stood up, interrupting his explanation. "I know."

"You know? You really know?"

“Yes.” She placed the flowers in the vase and nodded. “I have faith in you. And I’ve decided…” Yan Shu looked up at him, “I will love you forever, and I won’t be afraid of anything anymore. Even if one day you say you want to leave me, I don’t think I will…”

“That day will never come.” Mu Yang interrupted her assumption, looking at Yan Shu in front of him with a smile.

"Muyang plays the piano so well." The girl's face was full of admiration and envy.

"I think everyone should have something they want, and that is a dream." The girl's eyes were so beautiful. "So, even though I know it's difficult, maybe impossible, I still want to do it."

"I... also like Mu Yang." The girl, her face already flushed, softly uttered these words.

"How...how can you cheat?" The woman with the ring on her finger looked blissful.

And now, the woman in front of her is smiling at her, with a beautiful expression on her face that she doesn't know.

“You’re not going to leave me,” he reiterated.

"I understand." As soon as Yan Shu finished speaking, she took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to Mu Yang.

"What's up?"

"Wipe it clean." After saying that, Yan Shu started wiping Mu Yang's lips hard, so hard that Mu Yang suspected that his lips were about to be rubbed raw.

Xiao Shu... she's jealous!

Realizing this, a smile gradually spread across his lips.

"What are you laughing at!" Yan Shu shouted, hitting her harder. Mu Yang grabbed her hand, "It's clean now, can we disinfect it?" His smile and eyes were alluring.

Yan Shu stopped what she was doing, staring blankly at the attractive man in front of her. Her face slowly turned red, and she softly said, "Okay."

Adai:

How is it going?

It's been a long time since we last contacted each other because of some things that happened. How should I put it? Maybe, like you said, some things are destined to happen. I'm doing well now. You said you could easily sense happiness emanating from me, which I didn't believe before. But now, I am very happy, because of Muyang, and because of other things.

I've been very busy lately because I'm working on a script with Asen. I don't know if it will be successful, but I'll do my best.

I've stopped thinking about it. All those concerns I had before—maybe it's just me growing up, but I can't say for sure. I always believe growth is an ongoing process. By the way, it might be a long time before we can contact each other again, because I can't use the computer anymore.

I am pregnant.

I love this child, and I love this child's father.

Adai, I'm very happy. Maybe it's because I'm brave that I'm happy. You, you must be happy too. This is what Muyang and I both want to say. Yes, you must be happy.

Happiness+ing Yan Shu

"Is it really okay to wear this?" Yan Shu asked Mu Yang cautiously.

"No." Mu Yang smiled, unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, and opened Yan Shu's car door. "It's beautiful."

"Really." Yan Shu let him lead her out of the car. She was wearing a yellow dress, and the high-waisted design of the babydoll style cleverly concealed her slightly protruding belly.

"Really. Okay, hurry up and cheer for your husband." Mu Yang reached out his hand, and Yan Shu smiled at him, gently took his arm, and walked towards the awards hall with a smile.

Today, Yan Shu accompanied Mu Yang to an architecture award ceremony. Mu Yang's work was nominated, but the final result will depend on today's ceremony.

As Yan Shu walked into the hall with Mu Yang, she was immediately blinded by the bright lights. The unfamiliar smiling faces that greeted her made her feel a little overwhelmed. Mu Yang, on the other hand, moved freely among the smiling faces, chatting and laughing amiably.
