Beware the Appearing Cute Wife!

Chapter 1365: Chapter 1518: I’m Afraid of the Pain If I Go Alone

On Valentine’s Day night, the city was filled with the scent of love.

Outside, the streets were brightly lit, highlighting the joyful faces of men and women, and the gazes they shared brimmed with sweetness and happiness.

Tao Zhixiang was busy in the kitchen, but her heart was full of anticipation.

The last time Chu Mucheng stayed with her, he was so... gentle, so gentle that it made her feel dazed, as if she were dreaming, even feeling... as if they were a couple.

Even though she guarded her heart carefully, she was still full of anticipation now.

After work that day, she went to the supermarket to buy ingredients, then came home to prepare dinner.

She didn’t know whether Chu Mucheng would suddenly come... after all, he always arrived without warning, never notifying her in advance.

So, she could only wait.

Valentine’s Day, this special day, she ultimately hoped he would appear.

Recalling that crazy night in the bathroom, Tao Zhixiang blushed.

That night, she was genuinely happy, and if they could live as sweetly from then on, how wonderful would that be? But, Tao Zhixiang also knew that such thoughts were just extravagant hopes.

Tao Zhixiang was immersed in her memories and was a little distracted.

By this time, the dish in the pan was already cooked, and the soup in another pot was already stewed, steam continuously streaming out.

Tao Zhixiang hurriedly served the dish and then picked up the soup pot. In her clumsiness, she scalded her hand and quickly turned on the faucet, putting her hand under cold water.

However, it was already too late, and soon, a few large blisters formed on her hand, stinging painfully.

Tao Zhixiang felt like crying.

This was really embarrassing!

However, without any burn medicine at home, Tao Zhixiang had to go downstairs.

There was a clinic nearby in the neighborhood, such a minor injury didn’t warrant a hospital visit, the clinic doctor could handle it.

By this time, it was already past eight in the evening. As Tao Zhixiang went downstairs, a young couple happened to be returning from outside, the girl holding flowers in her arms, smiling with such shyness and sweetness. The man was saying something to the girl, his face full of happiness.

Tao Zhixiang’s heart trembled. Really... it made one envious! If at this moment, Chu Mucheng could be by her side, she would surely feel like the happiest person in the world. But, there was no "if".

Out of the residential complex, Tao Zhixiang headed towards the small clinic, but hadn’t walked far before she heard someone calling her name from behind.

"Tao Zhixiang."

Tao Zhixiang was taken aback, turning around to see He Muyang.

"Uh, senior, why are you here?"

He Muyang smiled, his eyes gentle.

"Just passing by, happened to meet you, quite a coincidence!"

Tao Zhixiang: "..."

Just passing by? Really, such a coincidence?

"Where are you headed?" He Muyang cautiously asked.

Tao Zhixiang smiled.

"Well, to the small clinic over there, I accidentally scalded my hand just now!"

He Muyang was startled, "Is it serious? Which hand?"

As he spoke, He Muyang reached out, wanting to check her injury, but just as he extended his hand, he realized his actions were somewhat abrupt and withdrew it.

"The left hand, but it’s okay," Tao Zhixiang said with a nonchalant smile, "just blisters that need to be punctured. If I go alone, I’m afraid it will hurt!"

He Muyang gazed at her, saying gently, "Let’s go, I’ll go with you!"
