Chapter 16 Not Going Home

After the wedding in late summer and early autumn, Shen Mingxu's attitude and mood were like the flowers in the house, becoming more and more diverse and beautiful. He gradually neglected the reptiles headed by Bread. In addition to feeding them and hiring people to clean their homes regularly, he used all his energy outside of work to figure out how to help Yunxi recover her memory.

Near the end of the year, the company's affairs became more and more urgent. The Shen family had a lot of complicated chores, and Shen Mingxu would not refuse. Shen Mingchen handed the work to his younger brother one by one, saying that his younger brother was capable of working and that young people needed more experience and exercise.

There were new policies and changes in the business of the trading company. No matter how smart Shen Mingxu was, he needed a lot of time and energy to learn and understand the chronic diseases and stand at the highest point to manage the overall situation. He

worked in a suit and tie every day. The company's air conditioner was still turned on very high, probably to cool everyone down. The secretary and assistant saw that Shen Mingxu had a cold face every day and rarely said anything to the assistants about personal matters. Everyone was really confused about taking care of him, so they could only focus all their energy on work.

It was not known whether it was the sore throat or the runny nose that started first, but Shen Mingxu fell asleep on the sofa after lunch. Not long after, he woke up with a very obvious sore throat and sneezing symptoms.

"Cough cough," Shen Mingxu felt uncomfortable in his nose and had difficulty breathing. He was sure that he had a cold, so he sent a message to Yunxi, saying that he would not go home tonight and not to wait for him.

He did not even ask his assistant to buy medicine. He ordered a bunch of cold medicine for takeout, ate a bite of dinner in the office, went into his lounge, took off the leg brace and foot brace, and fell asleep on the small bed he usually used for rest.

On the first night, Yunxi was not particularly worried when Shen Mingxu did not go home, because he was not a man who spent his days drinking and partying. She thought that the company's business was too urgent and he could not come back.

The next morning, Yunxi asked if Shen Mingxu was in the company? The answer was, yes.

The two did not have any extra conversation. They prepared a set of soft and thick business suits for Shen Mingxu. Yunxi matched him with a shirt, tie and cufflinks, and even packed socks and underwear for him in a small packing bag. She personally delivered them to the company downstairs. After handing them to Zhou Heng, she left without stopping.

After wearing the clothes sent by his wife, Shen Mingxu was happy for most of the day, and his body felt warm. However, at night, his cold symptoms did not ease at all. Not only did he still have runny nose and sneezing, but his throat also felt like it was cut by a knife. After changing clothes, he looked refreshed and had a superior image, but in fact, only he knew how uncomfortable he was, and it was terrible. Shen

Mingxu took medicine and slept seriously, but he still did not go home.

On the morning of the third day, Yunxi still sent a change of clothes to the company and left silently. Shen Mingxu changed his clothes and sent her a message saying "Thank you for your hard work, my wife", but Yunxi did not reply to him.

After learning from Zhou Heng that Shen Mingxu had caught a cold, Yunxi felt indescribable worry and distress in her heart. She could guess why he didn't go home, and she refused to say much, but just silently asked her aunt to help her make soup and cook. Before lunch, Yunxi appeared at the front desk of Shen's company again, holding an exquisite lunch box.

Even though she pretended to have lost her memory, she was not stupid. Before coming to the company, Yunxi dressed herself up well. She didn't want to embarrass Shen Mingxu, nor did she want people to talk about her parents-in-law treating her harshly because she was too simple.

[Mingxu, I'm at the front desk on the first floor of the company. I brought you lunch. Take some time and ask the secretary to come down and get it.]

With long hair hanging down like clouds on her slender waist, her bag and insulated lunch box were placed aside, and Yunxi sat quietly in a corner of the sofa in the lobby waiting. Even though the company building is in a high-end commercial center, and beauties often appear in the company lobby, Yunxi's face, even from behind, can kill all the beauties, and it is still rare to see her in many years.

After Yunxi sent the message, he sat down slowly and waited under the gazes from all directions. Shen Mingxu saw the message on his phone after signing a document. When he saw that his wife had come, he immediately put the phone close to his eyes and read it again. After confirming that it was her, he hurriedly stood up with the help of the table, grabbed his cane and walked out.

After taking just one step out, Shen Mingxu stumbled due to the stiffness of his left leg. He had to hold on to the desk to ease his numb left leg from sitting for a long time. Before his leg was completely healed, he couldn't wait to walk into the exclusive elevator with his cane.

There is an exclusive elevator directly connected to the underground garage. Shen Mingxu walks to the company lobby less than twice a year. Today he suddenly appeared. As the elevator door opened, he saw from a distance that a man in a suit said something to the white shadow in the corner of the sofa. He must have been rejected, so he slowly stood up and reluctantly retreated.

As he walked closer with his cane, Shen Mingxu saw clearly that the white figure he noticed was his newlywed wife.

"Xiaoxi,"

"Mingxu," Hearing the sound of the cane tapping the ground, Yunxi had already turned to look at him. Seeing the tall and thin figure walking towards her with the cane, she immediately stood up and ran towards him.

Seeing Yunxi fluttering towards him like a little bird, Shen Mingxu stopped and let the cane tap firmly on the ground, and opened his right hand to make a gesture to welcome her.

"Are you busy? You haven't been home for a few days." Coming in front of him, Yunxi didn't dare to really throw herself into his arms, but just held Shen Mingxu's tight waist with her small hands, half supporting and half getting close.

"A little busy, cough cough, did you run to bring me food again?" Holding her waist naturally, he lowered his head to talk to her, and immediately turned his head to cough twice, but his hoarse voice betrayed him, obviously in an unhealthy state with a nasal sound due to a cold.

Sure enough, Yunxi immediately tightened her hands, raised her head anxiously and asked him in a low voice, "Do you have a cold? Do you have a fever?" The little hand wearing the wedding ring and the bracelet given by her mother-in-law had raised up and touched Shen Mingxu's forehead.

"A little bit, it's okay, I took medicine, I was afraid of infecting you, but we met anyway." Standing still, Shen Mingxu's waist was uncomfortably straightened back. He missed her so much, but he didn't go home because he was afraid of infecting her. Now she was wearing makeup and her long hair was soft and shiny. How could he push her away?

"You have a cold and need to see a doctor. Can you rest if you don't go home?" She whispered in his chest, accusing in her heart, but her tone was extremely gentle.

"I'm worried that the virus will be transmitted to you." With a soft sigh, he missed her so much. Suddenly, she appeared in front of him with exquisite clothes. Shen Mingxu was almost dazzled and couldn't believe his eyes.

In the brightly lit lobby, Yunxi went from being a pearl in the corner to a shining treasure in Shen Mingxu's hand. She wore a white knitted short skirt and a beige cashmere short coat, leaning against his chest and speaking softly; Shen Mingxu gently hugged her with his arms, Yunxi's slender straight legs, graceful figure, and soft waistline were fully displayed, and the two of them immediately became the inevitable focus of the crowd. There was no closer movement, but Shen Mingxu's eyes and posture clearly showed an attitude of love, and the blatant love was too dazzling.

The two chatted for a while under everyone's gossiping eyes. Yunxi didn't let him carry the lunch box, but kept it herself, and supported Shen Mingxu's arm to go upstairs together.

The wife of the Shen family is Shen Mingxu's biological mother Wang Ying. Everyone privately calls the wife of the eldest son the eldest young lady. Now the mysterious young lady suddenly appeared. When they learned that the young lady came because of the young son's cold, several secretaries and assistants blushed with shame and spoke timidly, as if they had done something wrong.

Being watched by his wife, Shen Mingxu reluctantly ate lunch. Yunxi did not let him take a nap, and took him to a private hospital by soft and hard persuasion.

Although he did not have pneumonia, the attending doctor decided to give him nebulization treatment and infusion, and he also needed to rest more. He suggested that he rest quietly for a few days. Shen Mingxu was unwilling, but his young wife beside him agreed and immediately arranged for a nurse to come to his home to give him an infusion.

Mr. Shen, who was taken home, received an injection on the back of his hand. The man who took off his equipment lost his momentum. He lay on the bed and grabbed his wife's hand and asked her to go out, "Xiaoxi, be good, don't be in the same room with me, it will be contagious."

"Okay, you can rest assured. The company will not fall if it leaves you for two days." No matter what he said, she agreed to everything softly.

"Okay, I'll sleep by myself, you go out."

"Okay," Yunxi has become more and more courageous since she became Mrs. Shen. She promised but was completely disobedient.

Staying beside Shen Mingxu and watching the drip, Yunxi wiped his hands and face, helped him lie on his side when he coughed, patted his back gently, used a tissue to catch his spit, and carefully fed him water and medicine. She was more patient and thoughtful than a professional nurse.

The weather was getting cooler, and the autumn rain penetrated into his bones.

Shen Mingxu's legs hurt badly. At this time, hot compresses and massages can relieve the discomfort of his muscles, bones and joints. He was worried that Yunxi was afraid of his legs, so he hid it in time, and of course he refused to tell Yunxi. He was a big one, but he was still a child when he was sick. His free hand kept holding her small hand tightly. How could he really want her to leave? The truth is that he is completely dependent and can't leave for a moment.

Added his favorite fruits with rock sugar and bird's nest, stewed a warm and sweet fruit soup. After the infusion, Shen Mingxu was helped to sit up. Without glasses, he couldn't see what his wife was feeding him. Tasting the flavor he liked, he reached out in a daze, grabbed her little hand and the spoon, and ate several more mouthfuls.

"No more, I want to get off." The big hand gently pushed her, Shen Mingxu groped along the bed for the elbow crutches, moved his legs and was about to stand up.

Yunxi thought he was sleepwalking, put down the fruit soup and hugged his waist, "Where are you going? Lie down and rest."

"To the bathroom." His voice was still hoarse, and he whispered in her ear with a different kind of magic.

"Oh." Yes, there was an infusion and water. Yunxi didn't say a word, supported his arms and waist, handed him the elbow crutches one by one, and watched him stand up, and followed him to the bathroom door with concern.

After being married for many days, Yunxi had the opportunity to take care of Shen Mingxu because he was ill. She then found out what the Abebe, a small off-white wool blanket on Shen Mingxu's bed that had been placed from summer to late autumn was used for.
