Chapter 7

" When can I get discharged?" With a meek voice, she asked.

Mu Zihan looked down at the petite body in his bosom. He smoothed out her messy hair. " When the doctor give a green light to you to do so."

Listening to the unwanted answer, Ai Lin pursed her lips, looking cute.

" I already recovered. There's no need for me to stay here anymore. Can't you talk to the doctor? Please…" Raising her head, she blinked her round eyes few times. Just like a little kitten begging for food.

Looking at that twinkling eyes, Mu Zihan could only sighed. His heart wavered. She knew he would be unable to refuse it. But he could not conceited just like that. This regarded to her health.

" Why are you insist to get discharge? Although your external wounds may seem healed nicely but don't forget about your intestines. Last night you couldn't fall to sleep because of stomach ache, remember?" Mu Zihan tried to persuade her. He determined to make her changed her mind.

" But that because I hungry. It has nothing to do my intestines ah," Feeling wronged, she pouted. Was it this difficult to get discharged from the hospital?

Mu Zihan could only sigh inwardly. " Okay, fine. Tell me three reasons why you must get discharged? If it's reasonable enough, then I'll talk to the doctor."

Ai Lin could not believe her ears. She only wanted to get discharged but what with this sudden justification session.

" I think I've recovered well and I can just go to the hospital to follow up later."

" It's only what you think. The reality is not like that." Mu Zihan rebuked. " Next reason?"

" Next.. Next.. I.." Ai Lin stucked. What other reason? She just wanted to leave this boring place!

Mu Zihan cracked up a smile on his handsome face. He just waited, unhurried.

" I.. I want to go home." Yes, she definitely wanted to go home. Living here so long, how much money would she spent? Only by looking at the exterior of this room, she felt like being robbed in day light. Haihhh.. My money ah.

" Home? Which home?" As just realized something, his body became stiff. They never discussed where she would stay after being discharged. So where was the home she referred to?

" What kind of stupid question is that? I only have one house. Where else can I go? Of course I will live in my house." She gave him a weird look. Although that house was not really hers since she only paid the rent, but it still where she was lived.

" No!" Mu Zihan became serious. His answer was firm. There's no space for rebutting.

" Why?" She pushed Mu Zihan away. She stared at his gloomy eyes dissatisfyingly.

" Did you forget what happened to you? You don't even know who wants your life. You were almost killed and you couldn't even protect yourself. And now you're telling me you want to go home? Your home?!" Mu Zihan angrily chided her. Although he truly concerned about her safety but he knew this was not the main reason he became mad. He was angry because she wanted to left him. She wanted to go back to her home.

Ai Lin was startled. This few weeks he had been accompanied her, she never saw he got angry at anyone. But right now, he raised his voice and scolded her angrily. She was upset. Her round eyes started to wet. She did not know when but her cheeks already wet with her tears. She wept sorrowfully.

Mu Zihan was flabbergasted. Eh.. What happened?

" Why are you crying? Does your stomach aches again?" He panicked. He touched her wet face and wiped her tears with a trembling hand softly.

" You scold me." In between her sobbing, she said in a wronged tone.

Mu Zihan was speechless. He didn't know either to laugh or cry right now. A helpless look flashed in his eyes.

" Shhh, don't cry okay. I'm sorry for scolding you. I promise to not do it again. I'm just worry about your safety. Who will protect you later if you go back to your home? If they could attack you that time, they must already know your address. I'm not assured to let you stay alone there." With a low and deep tone, he gently convinced her. He couldn't bare to see her tears anymore. It was like his heart was squeezed hard as the tears flowed.

" You can talk nicely to me. But why you must raise your voice at me?" Her sobbing turned to wailing. She felt so wronged. Inwardly, she was dumbfounded at her own action. Why did she cried though? She was not someone who easily cry. Even when Lu Qi Feng told her about his engagement, she didn't shed any tears. She only pain in her heart and that's it. But why this time she cried like a mad woman?

Looking at his little kitten, Mu Zihan regretted his earlier impulse conduct. He hugged the pitiful girl to his chest while his mouth didn't stop saying sorry. Only after almost 30 minutes, finally Ai Lin calmed down.

But Mu Zihan was so anxious. Ai Lin refused to talk to him. Not to mention that, she even refused to look at him. What should he do?!
