Chapter 19

Before Lu Jingyang could taste her sweetness, his body was lifted up by a huge force. He did not have time to react at all. The feeling of weightlessness surrounded him and he could not even make a sound.

…

Mu Yuansheng walked around the hall a few times but didn’t see Meng Ying.

He asked the female staff to look for her in the toilet but she was nowhere to be found.

He shouldn’t be worrying about Meng Ying, but he couldn’t suppress his worry.

He glanced outside the door and saw something falling from upstairs all of a sudden. People who noticed it also felt that something was wrong and quickly ran out.

What they saw was a poorly dressed Lu Jingyang lying on the ground. His belt was loose and his pants were unzipped.

Everyone present was an adult. They immediately understood what Lu Jingyang had done.

They knew that he was a playboy, but how could he do such a thing here?

Mu Yuansheng immediately thought of Meng Ying.

His aura had changed although he looked calm on the outside.

“Hubby.” Meng Ying ran over suddenly, hugged Mu Yuansheng’s arm before smiling sweetly at him.

The moment Mu Yuansheng saw her, he felt slightly relieved.

He sized her up and realized that she was completely fine. There wasn’t even a single wrinkle on her clothes. The cold aura around him had mostly dissipated then.

“Where have you been?”

“I took a stroll outside. This place is huge. There’s even a garden outside.” Meng Ying looked no different from before they parted.

She did not seem to be affected at all.

“The ambulance is here,” someone shouted.

The ambulance arrived not long after and Lu Jingyang was carried to the car. The ambulance then left quickly.

No one called the police.

Given Lu Jingyang’s condition, it was probably not suitable to alarm the police.

Meng Ying acted as if nothing had happened and looked at Mu Yuansheng with a smile in her eyes.

Not far away, Zou Jiao, who witnessed Meng Ying appear unscathed while Lu Jingyang had fallen from the building, felt that something was amiss.

After the incident, the party was canceled.

Meng Ying sat in the car and leaned against Mu Yuansheng as if she had no bones. She was exhausted from using so much strength just now.

The body that she was in was really weak.

She wondered if Xu Nianhua had figured out anything from her blood test.

Meng Ying fell asleep again from the vibration of the car.

The car stopped outside the house and Ah Da turned around.

Meng Ying was sleeping soundly and it seemed that she had no intention of waking up.

Mu Yuansheng lowered his gaze and stared at the woman’s face. There was nothing unusual about her face, but her physical condition wasn’t as normal as it seemed.

The vigilance she had initially was gone.

“Call Xu Nianhua.”

…

When Xu Nianhua came, Meng Ying was still unconscious.

He took out the medical report and passed it to Mu Yuansheng. “Your newlywed wife has been drugged, and it has been going on for quite a while, probably for years. However, the effects of the drug aren’t that strong because the person who drugged her was very cautious and only micro-dosed her in intervals. She is feeling unwell because the drug had accumulated over a long period of time.”

“She must have already had this strong desire for sleep long ago. In a few years, she will fall into a deep sleep and her brain will go into hibernation. In the end, she might fall into a vegetative state.”

Mu Yuansheng stared at the report with his cold eyes. “Is there a treatment method?”

“There is, but…”

“Speak.”

“That medicine is extraordinarily bitter.” Xu Nianhua frowned. “I’m afraid your little devil won’t drink it.”

Mu Yuansheng said, “She will.”

“That’s good. I’ll prescribe the medicine for you. As for whether she drinks it or not, that’s your problem.” Xu Nianhua said bluntly. Then, he asked curiously, “Who was the one who drugged her so harshly? Is there a need to do this to a fool?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he sensed Mu Yuansheng’s icy cold gaze.

Xu Nianhua immediately slapped his own mouth. “I’m sorry.”

Only then did Mu Yuansheng’s expression eased slightly.

“I say, are you serious about this?” Xu Nianhua asked. “Marriage is an important matter. With your status, do you know how many people are watching you? If you get married so easily, what will those people think?”

“Do you think I care about the opinion of others?”

“No matter what, your status now ain’t really that stable. To put it bluntly, you should marry a wife who can help you, not…”

Xu Nianhua was not afraid to say more. “Although the Meng family has some status in Yu City, they are nothing to us. Even if you don’t think for yourself, do you think Miss Meng will go back with you? Even if she was willing to, how long can she last?”

“He’s my man. I’ll go wherever he goes. How long can I last depends on my own ability.” Meng Ying stood at the staircase and walked down slowly.

Xu Nianhua looked at her in surprise.

Since when did she stand there? And how much did she hear?

He looked at Mu Yuansheng uneasily.

However, Mu Yuansheng remained calm. “Go back and prepare the medicine. Get someone to send it over.”

“Okay.” Xu Nianhua could not stay any longer.

He got up and was about to leave when Meng Ying stopped him. “Doctor Xu, don’t try to make my husband break up with me. If he divorces me one day, I won’t let you off!”

Xu Nianhua shrunk his neck. He was extremely pressured.

He chuckled. “Sister-in-law, are you hearing what you said? As the saying goes, one would rather tear down ten temples than ruin a marriage. How could I possibly do such a wicked thing?”

Meng Ying smiled brightly and walked in front of Xu Nianhua. She looked at his face left and right. “I looked at your face just now and realized that you are lacking something in your life.”

“Ah? What do I lack?”

“You lack morals.”

“…”

Xu Nianhua left dejectedly.

Meng Ying stood in front of Mu Yuansheng. Her lips sank and she looked unhappy.

Mu Yuansheng leaned against the sofa with his arms spread wide and his legs crossed lazily. He held an unlit cigarette between his fingers and looked at her calmly.

“Will you abandon me?” Meng Ying asked pitifully.

“I won’t.” Mu Yuansheng adjusted his sitting posture. His tone was extremely calm and sincere.

Meng Ying sat on his lap and wrapped her hands around his neck. “Swear it.”

Mu Yuansheng had never liked women pestering him like this, and he had always found women troublesome and pretentious.

But now, not only did the wife he had chosen liked to pester him, but she was also very pretentious.

However, he did not find it troublesome and was even used to it.

“You must know that the most untrustworthy thing in the world is an oath.”

“I will believe you even if you lie to me.”

Mu Yuansheng was completely stunned.

The woman’s eyes were bright and clear without a trace of impurity.

She was like a newborn baby who knew nothing about the dangers of this world.

She had placed all her trust and dependence on him.

‘I will believe you even if you lie to me.’

How innocent would one have to be to say something like that?

Was she stupid?

She was not stupid at all.

Any man who heard this would feel heartache and sorry for her.

Meng Ying waited impatiently for his answer. When she was tired of waiting, she shook her head and said, “Are you not even willing to lie to me?”
