ted the whole afternoon. After leaving the company, he almost didn't hesitate at all and drove straight here.The atmosphere in the hotel was particularly lively, with lights everywhere and a packed cr...She was just about to reach out and take it, but at that moment, Feng Mu slightly turned away, dodging her touch.

"Be good and lie still, I'll feed you."

Meng Lan looked at him, a helpless feeling welling up in her heart. "I only have an injured toe, it's not my hand. I can feed myself."

Feng Mu's brows furrowed, his ink-colored pupils holding a hint of reproach.

He didn't do anything, just held a bowl of soup in his hands and stared at her quietly.

Menglan felt a bit helpless when she was being looked at, especially since she was hungry and wanted to avoid any further entanglement. So, she leaned against the headboard and sat quietly.

Seeing her self-assured appearance, Feng Mu's lips curled into a satisfied smile. He tightened his grip on the spoon handle, dispersed the heat from the porridge, and then slowly offered it to her.

After Dream finished the porridge, her eyes suddenly lit up. "It smells so good," she said. "向晚's cooking skills are getting better and better."

"After that, Feng Mu's face gradually softened a bit, with a slight curve on his lips, he smiled and explained, "I heard that Xiaoxing was quite weak when she was born and needed careful care. Xiangwan personally prepared complementary food for her and even took a training course to learn how to do it. Back then, we all teased Lao He about being so lucky."

After listening, Meng Lan's face showed surprise. She subconsciously responded,

"I didn't expect Little Star to resemble Niancheng a bit. Niancheng was also premature, and I didn't have any breast milk at first. It was the auntie next door who gave me some home remedies that helped me raise her."

Initially, she said it just as a joke.

Fei Mu's expression gradually grew serious, his gaze fixed on her was extremely complex, like a dry well, as if wanting to suck her in.

"What's wrong" Menglan looked at him in confusion, feeling a shiver run down her spine under his intense gaze.

As soon as the words fell, Feng Mu reached out and gently touched her cheek, his voice filled with guilt, "During the days I was away, you must have suffered a lot."

"...."

His words struck Menglan like a hammer, her heart plummeting with a sickening thud.

She lowered her eyes, a hint of pain in them.

In those few years when she first arrived in Yun City, life was indeed very difficult for her, especially since she was raising a child alone. There were always some unforeseen accidents that caught her off guard.

Until later, when the child grew up a bit and became more sensible, she felt the weight on her shoulders was not so heavy.

It's just that when it comes to those times back then, it's better not to mention them. Once I do, it feels like my old wounds are ripped open again, the pain is unbearable.

"It's all over," Menglan spoke, but her expression was cold.

Feng Mu noticed something was amiss with her, and he didn't find it convenient to say anything. He only held her face in his hands and stared at her intently.

"I will do everything I promised you. Don't worry, I will make up for the lost time."

"Compensation" Menglan didn't want to make things unpleasant, but when she heard his words, she found it utterly ridiculous. "What can you offer as compensation The harm is real, those difficult days are also real, and nothing you offer can ever make up for them!"

Feng Mu's thin lips were tightly pressed together, but he didn't know what to say. There was a trace of guilt in his eyes.

"Would you like to eat some more" he asked softly.

"No, thank you." Menglan instantly lost her appetite. She lay on the bed, fingers tightly gripping the sheets, covering her face with them. "I'm tired, please leave."

“……”

After listening, Feng Mu fell silent.

But he did not leave. He stood up and quietly cleared the remnants of the meal from the table.

Meng Lan had her back to him, her gaze fixed on the scenery outside the window. She only listened to Feng Mu tidying up the garbage in the room, but inexplicably, a hint of sourness welled up in her heart.

What use is there in making amends now

Damn it!

"Ding dong—"

Just then, Feng Mu's phone suddenly rang. He reached out and answered the call.

Even though he didn't put the phone on speaker, Menglan could still hear the anxious voice of his assistant from the other end of the line, "Not good, Mr. Feng, Miss Shan Shan fainted suddenly during her shoot today."

Feng Mu remained silent for several seconds before finally speaking in a low voice, "I'm at the hospital. Tell me a specific location, and I'll come find you!"

Although he didn't say much, his voice was full of worry.

He waited in the room for a while, figuring he must have gotten the address. He left the ward without stopping.

Bang—

The door was slammed shut.

The ward was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. This was when Menglan lifted the covers and sat up from the bed.

Her complexion was even paler than before, her eyes gradually losing their luster, and her slender fingers were tightly clenched in her hair.

She just sat there for a long time, unable to fall asleep.

Suddenly, as if she had made up her mind, she put on her slippers and walked out of the room. She casually grabbed a coat from the hanger and threw it over herself before leaving the ward.

In the hallway, a group of young girls with Gu Shan's cheering signs in their hands crept to the elevator entrance, whispering excitedly.

“I heard the news from my cousin, Gu Shan fainted and was sent to this hospital. It must be true!”

"Oh, poor Sannan! It's such a pity. She's so beautiful and capable, but why is she always sick"

"So, we fans need to vote for her a lot and help her get more votes, so she can win the Golden Eagle Goddess Award this year!"

"......"

Menglan noticed the movements of those little girls and unconsciously took steps, following them to a luxurious ward on the upper floor.

As soon as they arrived, a throng of reporters and media personnel had already gathered at the entrance to the ward.

Menglan walked to a hidden corner by the door, her eyes secretly peeking inside.

In the room, Gu Shan had just woken up, leaning against Feng Mu's body, wiping her tears and crying.

"Thank you all for your concern. My fainting this time is unrelated to the crew, and I hope everyone can treat it rationally. It's purely because the weather was too hot, and I fainted because of heatstroke."

Her words were spoken so eloquently, they elicited sympathy from everyone.

"Miss Shan is looking quite pitiful, isn't she!"

"That's right, and as a star, he doesn't have any airs about him at all. It's truly rare."

Menglan, who was standing nearby, saw this scene. Her palms clenched into fists, and her eyes were extremely heavy.

Although everyone was fooled by Gu Shan's acting, the careful woman still noticed that when Gu Shan lowered her head, there was a hint of smugness in the corner of her lips.

As a public figure, yet using people's sympathy to hype up a topic.

This is Gu Shan, who appears delicate on the outside. This is...the woman Feng Mu is so desperately trying to protect!

"Miss Shan, we saw Mr. Feng here even though he's busy. He came especially to look after you. When is your wedding date"
