Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 184: Chapter 196: Repaying You with a Lifetime

Mu Xingfeng’s surgery lasted for more than ten hours. Finally, the door of the operating room opened and the dean walked out.

”Doctor, how is he?”

Everyone crowded around, and Mu Zhenzong asked with a trembling voice.

The dean removed his mask, his face showing signs of exhaustion, but he couldn’t hide his joy: ”The surgery was very successful. The bullet was three centimeters away from the heart and has been removed. However, Young Master Mu was shot for a long time and lost a lot of blood. He still needs to be under intensive care for a few days.”

Hearing that Mu Xingfeng was out of danger, He Yushu couldn’t help but cry.

”Mom, Xingfeng is out of danger, why are you crying again?” Mu Wanxin consoled her from the side.

”No, no...” He Yushu wiped her tears and denied it.

When Lin Ruonan heard that Mu Xingfeng was out of danger, she felt all her strength leave her body and couldn’t help but take a step back. If Gu Haoyu hadn’t been supporting her, she would have fallen.

Gu Haoyu held Lin Ruonan and said to Mu Zhenzong, ”Uncle Mu, Aunt He, leave this to us brothers. You should go back and rest well.”

Everyone had been watching over him all night and were already exhausted. Especially Lin Ruonan, her face had turned deathly pale. If this continued and Mu Xingfeng didn’t wake up, she would collapse.

Since Mu Xingfeng was out of danger, there was no need for everyone to stay here.

Mu Zhenzong nodded. He was naturally aware of the close relationship between Gu Haoyu and the others with Mu Xingfeng, so he felt at ease leaving him in their care.

He Yushu’s health was poor, and with her physical and mental exhaustion, she did need to go back and rest.

One by one, everyone left, but Lin Ruonan stubbornly insisted on waiting for Mu Xingfeng to wake up.

”Ruonan, do you want Xingfeng to wake up only to see you collapse? If you feel guilty, take good care of yourself. Xingfeng will need a long time to recover and will need your care.”

Lin Ruonan suddenly raised her head, looked at the man in the intensive care unit covered in medical equipment, and finally left with Mom Lin and Dad Lin.

Yes, Xingfeng, you stood up to save me in a moment of crisis and shielded me from the bullet. I, Lin Ruonan, will spend my entire life repaying you for this kindness.

Who knows how long had passed when Mu Xingfeng opened his eyes, feeling completely drained of strength, a dull pain in his chest, and the smell of disinfectant filling his nostrils.

So, he was still alive.

When the bullet pierced his chest, when he supported himself and fought alongside Lin Ruonan until his vision blurred, he truly thought he was finished.

He could clearly feel the blood flowing from his chest and knew that life was leaving him. At that moment, the image that still lingered in his mind was of that slender figure. If his life were to end there, his greatest regret would be not being able to properly love that girl.

If he had another chance, he would disregard her wishes, bind her to his side, pamper her, love her, and make sure she never had to work so hard or suffer from the coldness of family ties again.

Fortunately, he didn’t die, and he still had a chance to avoid regrets.

His arms felt as heavy as lead and wouldn’t budge, but his fingertips felt a slight warmth.

He looked along his arm and saw Lin Ruonan lying by his bedside, holding his hand in hers.

This kind of touch made Mu Xingfeng feel a bit uncomfortable. He used all his strength to try to pull his hand away.

Feeling the large hand in hers move slightly, Lin Ruonan opened her eyes and saw Mu Xingfeng turning his head to look at her.
