Jiujiu saw Murong pass the biscuits to Li Xiang. She blinked and asked in confusion, "Why aren't you eating? Is it not delicious?"
"It's delicious, but I just had lunch. I can't eat anymore. I'll eat it at night."
"Oh." Jiujiu nodded in understanding. Then, she looked at Murong's legs that were covered with a blanket to block the cold. She tilted her head and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with your legs?"
When he heard Jiujiu ask Murong what was wrong with his legs, Li Xiang instantly had the feeling that if a person wanted to die, even eight horses would not be able to stop him.
Say, this little girl clearly looks smart and quick-witted, but why does she always touch the pot that doesn't boil?
Li Xiang thought that Murong did not get angry just now. He would definitely get angry now.
However, the truth was like a slap in the face. Although Murong was a little unhappy, he did not get angry. Instead, he played it down and said, "I had a car accident."
Although Murong's tone was particularly casual when he said that it was only a car accident, as if it was not a big deal, Jiujiu felt very uncomfortable when she heard it.
Jiujiu lowered her head and looked at Murong's legs. Although he was covered with a blanket, she could still see that his legs had atrophied. Her eyes instantly turned red. She pursed her lips and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you go to the hospital to have it checked?"
Jiujiu raised her head and looked at Murong. She asked, "What if it can be cured?"
When Murong heard Jiujiu ask about his legs, he did not throw Jiujiu out. Jiujiu's position in Li Xiang's heart directly surpassed Murong's and became the first place.
After all, with Mu Rong's temper, it was still very good if you really caught the person. However, Jiujiu was the first person who had stepped on the edge of Mu Rong's tolerance without being killed by Mu Rong.
Moreover, Li Xiang actually wanted Murong to have his legs checked in private.
How tragic the car accident was that year could be seen from the death of Murong's parents. Even if Murong was lucky enough to survive, he paid the price of comminuted fractures in his legs.
Moreover, because of Mu Yuan's selfishness, Mu Rong's leg could have been treated at that time, but it was delayed and he could only sit in a wheelchair.
Later on, when Murong took over the Mu family, Li Xiang had asked the doctor who treated Murong at that time. The doctor said that the probability of Murong being able to stand up was about 80%. However, after two years of delay, there was only about 70% left. If Murong was delayed for another two years, there might not even be 50% left.
Li Xiang had also vaguely told Murong that he could stand up with his legs. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was chased out by Murong. He hadn't seen Murong for more than half a year, so Li Xiang didn't dare to say anything.
At this moment, Jiujiu took the initiative to bring it up. Li Xiang instantly looked at Murong expectantly, waiting for Murong's reply.
Murong did not expect Jiujiu to ask about her leg. She was stunned for a moment before she said in a neutral tone, "It's just a small souvenir. Why? Do you dislike me for being a cripple?"
Murong said the word 'cripple' in a casual tone. Her calm and indifferent manner caused Jiujiu's heart to ache.
Jiujiu raised her hand to cover Murong's mouth without thinking, blocking the words that were about to come out of Murong's mouth. She pursed her lips and said with a serious face, "I don't dislike you, I just feel a little uncomfortable."
Even though Jiujiu had not been involved in Murong's past, she knew that her man was a glorious person no matter where he went. He was not like now, sitting in a wheelchair and needing someone to take care of him no matter where he went.
Jiujiu did not dislike it. However, she knew that even though Murong looked as if he did not feel anything about this kind of life, he did not like this kind of life from the bottom of his heart.
Murong was initially unhappy because Jiujiu suddenly mentioned his leg. However, when he saw the tears in Jiujiu's eyes, his expression became slightly sluggish. He reached out to touch the corner of Jiujiu's eyes and wiped away the tears in Jiujiu's eyes. He chuckled softly, "Why are you crying?"
"It must have been very painful at that time." Jiujiu's hand gently touched Murong's legs. She felt the muscles on his thighs that had already atrophied. Her eyes became redder.
"Why do you say that? A man is only charming when he has some scars. Isn't that right?"
"But when I cut my finger, it was so painful that I wanted to cry. Your legs are broken. It must have been very painful." Jiujiu raised her head to look at Murong. Her eyes were bright red as she said this.
When Jiujiu's voice was soft, it was like cotton candy. However, at this moment, when she suddenly sounded like she was about to cry, it made his heart feel inexplicably warm.
Murong chuckled softly. His finger brushed past Jiujiu's cheek and gently touched Jiujiu's lips. He smiled faintly, "It was very painful. How do you want to make it up to me?"
When Murong was talking to Jiujiu with a long face, Li Xiang's heart was shaken. At this moment, when he heard Murong ask Jiujiu how she wanted to make it up to him, Li Xiang felt a little uncomfortable.
Could it be that his boss had been replaced by someone else?
However, he was the one who pushed the person out just now.
Shouldn't his boss be the type of person who would turn into ashes while talking and laughing? Who was this person who said that it was very painful with a smile on his face?
In fact, he was still dreaming, wasn't he?
Because he often held a pen, there were faint calluses on Murong's finger. When he touched Jiujiu's lips, it brought waves of numbness. She didn't expect Murong to tease her. Jiujiu's cheeks reddened. She held Murong's finger that was restlessly rubbing her lips and said softly, "Then how about I make pudding for you next time? If I make it into a caramel-flavored pudding, it will be delicious. "
"Okay." Although she was a little unhappy when Jiujiu took his finger away from her lips, it was also a different feeling when Jiujiu's soft and chubby little hand held her.
Murong pretended not to know and let Jiujiu hold her hands. He asked, "Why are you here with Li Jue?"
After being asked by Murong, Jiujiu blinked her eyes and said with a disappointed expression, "My parents passed away. I was in a car accident. It was Mr. Li who saved me, so I am here as a cook to repay him."
"He saved you?" Murong said these four words word by word. Then, he looked at Jiujiu meaningfully.
Jiujiu seemed to have not understood the meaning of Murong's words at all. She continued, "Yes, if it wasn't for Mr. Li, I would have died long ago."
When she said this, Jiujiu's clear and transparent eyes were filled with gratitude, which made Murong feel incomparably dazzled.
Murong didn't like Jiujiu's expression that was filled with gratitude when she talked about Li Jue. It made him have the impulse to tear off Li Jue's mask and let Jiujiu know Li Jue's true colors.
Murong said without thinking, "What if I said that your disasters were all because of …"
Just as Murong was about to say those two words, Li Jue's voice came from behind.
