I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law

“Okay.” Xie Xuanchen got up, just as he stood up, he suddenly lost his strength and couldn’t even stand. Mu Mingtang was taken aback and quickly supported him, “What’s wrong with you?”

“Don’t talk.” Xie Xuanchen’s face turned pale, and his lips were even more pale. “Don’t tell anyone outside.”

“I know I know.” Mu Mingtang hurriedly helped him back to the bed and laid down a soft pillow and a blanket for him. Xie Xuanchen laid back on the bed and closed his eyes tiredly. With his pale skin, thin face and long eyelashes, he was now lying weakly on the bed, he looked sick but still beautiful.

Mu Mingtang secretly found it rather strange. When Xie Xuanchen faced the Sun official just now, he was domineering and arrogant, he looked so majestic. However, behind closed doors, he instantly became so delicate.

She thought he was an evil bully, but turns out he was just a beauty.

Mu Mingtang was speechless, she took a cloth, and gently wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: “If you felt uncomfortable, tell me sooner. I wouldn’t have let Xiang Nanchun talk so much nonsense. Do you feel better now?”

Xie Xuanchen closed his eyes, he didn’t even have the strength to speak. Mu Mingtang was slightly scared, she frowned and said: “Which part of your body feels uncomfortable? Or I’ll just call for the imperial physician.”

“No.” Xie Xuanchen opened his eyes and said slowly, “I’m a little tired, just need to get some rest.”

It wasn’t something else, Mu Mingtang breathed a sigh of relief. She knew about Xie Xuanchen’s condition. Normally, if he walked slightly quicker, he’ll already pant. But that night, he fought on for such a long time and injured so many people. This is not what his current state could possibly go through. Xie Xuanchen was mad at the time, and he couldn’t feel pain or tired. Now that he was back to normal, his body for sure couldn’t stand it anymore.

Xie Xuanchen should have been resting, but realised that she wasn’t there, so he forced his weak body to look for her. Mu Mingtang still found it rather unbelievable that he could walk to the temple all by himself.

Mu Mingtang hesitated whether to speak, and she finally sighed in a low voice: “They wouldn’t dare to do anything to me. It’s okay to wait for a day or two, since you are so weak, why force yourself?”

“If I don’t punish them harshly, those people outside will not stay put. I’ll have to be mean for once, so they won’t dare to act rashly.” After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, he suddenly looked up and glared at Mu Mingtang, “Who did you just say weak?”

His pupils were extremely dark, he had been the leader of the soldiers in the battlefield, his gaze looked very murderous. As he glanced over at her, it felt very overpowering.

Mu Mingtang looked at his pale face and then looked at how he was panting weakly as he lay on the bed, it was really hard for her to be terrified of him. But Mu Mingtang was embarrassed to talk down on a patient, so she nodded very cooperatively: “Okay, well, I was wrong. Don’t be angry, don’t hurt your body.”

Xie Xuanchen noticed how hasty Mu Mingtang was being at a glance, but now he even felt out of breath just by speaking, so he really didn’t have the strength to show how majestic he was. He only glanced at Mu Mingtang, and took note about this in his heart.

Mu Mingtang sat next to Xie Xuanchen as she took care of him. Mu Mingtang looked at Xie Xuanchen’s half-closed eyes, and she felt sad for him.

She had always known that Xie Xuanchen had a fierce reputation and his temper was as famous as his outstanding exploits in war. In the year she was living with the Jiang family, what she heard most was about Xie Xuanchen’s “heroic deeds”. She’s heard about it so much that she didn’t find it special anymore, and after marrying to him, Xie Xuanchen had always been lying on the bed, delicate and weak, she also suddenly learned that Xie Xuanchen was her life-saving benefactor back then, and the benefactor’s halo immediately overwhelmed everything else, so Mu Ming Tang believed that Xie Xuanchen was a good person, and the rumors outside were all bad guys trying to ruin his image.
