tears welling up in her eyes before she could even finish speaking. She looked flustered, covering her mouth with her hand."Here, wipe it." He handed her a handkerchief and sat down on the sofa oppos...Meng Lan hurriedly tore off a towel and handed it to him, instinctively turning her body away, avoiding his gaze.

Feng Mu wiped the water droplets off his body, feeling something was amiss. He turned his head to look behind him, and when he saw Meng Lan, he suppressed the coldness in his eyes.

"What are you hiding for Never seen one before" Feng Mu chuckled, teasingly.

Mulan turned her back on him, and said irritably, "Hurry up and wipe it. I'll put medicine on it when you're done."

Listening to her words, Feng Mu wiped his body clean before taking steady steps and walking behind her. He leaned close to her ear and softly asked,

"Are you concerned about me"

As he lowered his body slightly, a faint sandalwood scent wafted from Meng Lan's breath, causing her ears to flush red.

"No, it was Chen Yi who told me to come and apply medicine for you."

Feng Mu chuckled softly, his voice doting. "If you didn't want to, you wouldn't come, Ruirui. I'm very happy that you care about me."

Meng Lan's heart beat uncontrollably. Fearful of losing her composure, her face suddenly turned cold.

"Since you're being so rude, Mr. Feng, I shall go downstairs and fetch a maid to clean your wounds."

Seeing her about to turn and leave, Feng Mu grasped her arm in time, pulling her back. He deliberately gasped in pain, "Hiss," drawing a sharp breath of cold air.

"I'm not kidding, this hurts."

" "..." Meng Lan suddenly stopped in her tracks, watching him obediently lie in the bathtub. She didn't say much, carrying the medicine box to help him apply medicine.

As he drew closer, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes when they landed on the severe wound on his back.

I didn't expect it to be true.

Feng Mu was really injured to this extent!

Back when I was with Feng Mu, I'd patched him up a few times before. But those were just minor scrapes and bruises. This time... it's different. Someone really went after him. Who could have hurt him so badly

Menglan skillfully took out the medicine and gauze from the medicine box. She first cleaned his wound, which was already bloody and mangled. Just looking at it made her wince.

But Feng Mu only frowned, without saying much else.

Dream Orchid saw that he was in pain, so she applied medicine to him while talking to distract him.

"When you were hurt, didn't you resist"

Feng Mu's spine straightened abruptly, and he let out a faint "um."

Meng Lan was surprised, this didn't match his usual personality. Looking at his unsightly complexion, she instinctively spoke again,

"To be able to strike you like this, and with you offering no resistance, could it be... Old Master Feng"

As soon as the words left his lips, Feng Mu's aura instantly turned frigid. He suddenly opened his eyes, and his voice lost all patience.

It has nothing to do with you.

"Meng Lan's face flushed with embarrassment, and she muttered to herself that she had really asked for it.

She didn't say anything more, speeding up her application of ointment. She just wanted to finish it quickly. Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, Feng Mu suddenly grasped hers, his thumb gently rubbing circles in her palm.

"You only need to know that I will do everything in my power to protect you."

His voice was sincere, and Menglan's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly regained her composure and withdrew her hand.

"General Feng, I'm an adult, I can take care of myself. You don't have to make unnecessary sacrifices for me!"

Feng Mu helplessly curled his lips, not expecting to hear anything heartwarming. He just faintly opened his mouth and ordered, "Wait for me."

Meng Lan didn't respond, she just silently packed up the medical kit.

By the time she finished getting ready, Feng Mu also put on his bathrobe. He took Meng Lan's hand and led her into the bedroom. He opened the drawer of the bedside table and took out a black gift box tied with a butterfly bow.

He opened the gift box, and inside was a beautiful pearl necklace. It sparkled in the light.

Meng Lan merely glanced at it and was immediately captivated by its appearance.

"Birthday present." Feng Mu took the necklace into his hands and threw away the box, "Do you like it"

Meng Lan pursed her lips, but didn't dare to tell the truth. Her gaze was extremely indifferent as she looked at him.

"I don't like it, you can give it to someone else."

"But it seems to really like you." Feng Mu raised his eyebrows playfully, a gentle smile on his lips. "I hand-painted the design myself, tailored just for you."

"... Menglan's cheeks flushed, and she looked at the necklace with a very complex expression in her eyes."

She was both secretly admiring Feng Mu's talent and feeling a sense of repulsion in her heart. What was this She had actually fallen in love with this necklace designed by Feng Mu at first sight!

"I can't take it." Menglan responded irritably, turning to leave. She couldn't stay any longer!

Feng Mu's attack was too fierce, she couldn't allow her emotions to get out of control, her heart couldn't waver, absolutely not!

Bang, bang, bang!

At that moment, fireworks suddenly burst outside the window. Menglan was startled and came to a halt in her steps.

Feng Mu grabbed her wrist and led her to the window. He pointed upwards at the dazzling fireworks blooming in the sky, gradually forming her name - Liu Xinrui!

Meng Lan was dumbfounded, for a moment, she forgot to resist.

Feng Mu seized the opportunity to encircle her from behind, gently kissing her hair. His slender fingers intertwined with hers, holding her hand tightly.

When I threw you into the Dream Institution and named you Menglan, I knew you wouldn't like it.

But at that time, I was blinded by hatred. I don't expect you to forgive those absurd pasts, I just want to use this way to return your name to you.

As she listened to his words, Meng Lan's whole body trembled. Her eyes reddened, filled with excitement and a hint of resentment.

"From today onwards, you are no longer Menglan, but openly return to being... Liu Xinrui."

Feng Mu's voice was heavy, each word drawn out as he reminded her, "It doesn't matter if you can't return to being the beloved daughter of the Liu Corporation. After all, you will be my Feng Mu's wife. I will ensure your life is filled with wealth and prosperity. If I die, I will use every last ounce of strength to ensure your life is secure."

Every word he uttered was forceful and impactful, leaving an undeniable impression.

Meng Lan bit her lip tightly, she tilted her head slightly, trying to suppress the tears welling up in her eyes.

Even the most beautiful fireworks only last for a moment. Feng Mu held her head, and under her astonished gaze, his thin lips covered hers.

The salty bitterness of tears, as if from her lips, also entered Feng Mu's mouth.

At this moment, Meng Lan clutched her chest tightly, pressing down hard, as if only by doing so could she completely suppress the pain that was about to spread from her chest.

This kiss, long and bittersweet with a hint of something more, yet both parties harbored different intentions. Neither one saw the flicker of feeling in the other's eyes, nor did they allow it to take root in their hearts.
