Chapter 1424: Chapter 1438: Truly Still a Child

In the villa, after the guests left, Nanny Chen brought out the bone broth she had simmered for Mu Xingfeng and then brought out a bowl of noodles cooked with the broth from the kitchen.

"Young Madam, have some noodles first; your stomach is empty, and noodles are easy to digest and good for your digestive system."

Smelling the bone broth made An Ran’s mouth water, and seeing there were noodles made her eyes squint with delight, "Thank you, Nanny Chen, you’re really kind."

Mu Xingfeng felt a bit sour when he heard his young wife say that.

Nanny Chen made the delicious noodles, so she’s the kind one, but what about him?

It was he who had Yuan Ye prescribe the Chinese medicine for her and also the one who encouraged her to drink it.

Thinking this way, Mu Xingfeng felt even more uneasy.

"Nanny Chen, have you thrown away those medicines?"

"Not yet, I’ve been keeping an eye on the bone broth, I’ll go do it now."

The Chinese medicine that Doctor Yuan prescribed for An Ran was to replenish her qi and blood, containing quite a few good herbs. Nanny Chen hadn’t taken Mu Xingfeng’s casual comment seriously earlier, but now, mentioning it again, she realized the young master truly cared for the young madam.

"Hey, Nanny Chen," An Ran called out to Nanny Chen and then said to Mu Xingfeng, "Actually, it was just an accident earlier; maybe we should try again. I think I might be able to drink it."

"No need," Mu Xingfeng directly rejected, "If you don’t like it, you don’t have to drink it. Eating nutritious food can also make you healthy and strong."

"But... wasn’t the medicine for having a baby?" As she spoke the last part, An Ran’s voice grew quieter. Even though they were close as a couple, talking about these things still made her shy.

Mu Xingfeng looked at her with concern. He knew that being too eager would put psychological pressure on her. As Brother said, she’s still young, not yet twenty, still a child. Wanting her to have a child now is indeed a bit rushed.

"Wife, there’s no hurry for the baby. It will happen sooner or later. You should focus on your studies now, and it won’t be too late to think about it after you graduate. Your husband isn’t in a hurry."

"Really?" An Ran’s eyes suddenly brightened, but then dimmed in just a moment, "But you clearly want a child."

"I wanted to have a child to keep you by my side. Back then, when I was transferred back to the Imperial City, I couldn’t bear to leave you. I thought if you had a baby, you’d willingly come back to the Imperial City with me. But since the baby cares for you and won’t let you suffer so early, your husband has no choice but to care for you together."

An Ran felt a little proud, sitting on the carpet in front of the coffee table, slurping the noodles.

Seeing Mu Xingfeng staring at her continuously, she picked up a chopstick full of noodles and brought it to his mouth.

Mu Xingfeng, while eating the noodles, looked at her lowered, smiling eyes, and sighed inwardly; she truly is still a child.

Mu Xingfeng’s injury recovered faster than she expected. Five days after the stitches were removed, he could pick up some lighter things with his arm.

In the past few days, Xiao Xiao called her twice. The first time was to ask about Mu Xingfeng’s injury. At that time, Mu Xingfeng was still in the hospital, and Xiao Xiao was between classes, so they only exchanged a few hurried words.

The second time she called, knowing Mu Xingfeng had already had the stitches removed, Xiao Xiao asked when An Ran would return to Nan’an and brought her some not-so-good news. Because An Ran had already missed three anatomy classes and had fainted during a session before, Professor Sun threatened that anyone missing the next anatomy class would spend an entire day in the anatomy lab to adapt and make up for the missed coursework.
