The time spent together with Qin Mobai accumulates to less than half a year, but she understands the emotions conveyed in his gaze.

He doesn’t want her to call for a doctor or nurse; he wants to be alone with her, at least for now.

Lou Xi forcibly suppressed the urge to call for a doctor or nurse, turned around, and sat in the chair beside the hospital bed, holding Qin Mobai’s hand tightly.

"Mo Bai, is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable right now?" She worried about him.

When he was unconscious, she worried he wouldn’t wake up.

When he woke up, she worried his body might feel uncomfortable.

Qin Mobai remained silent, looking as if speaking was an effort.

He was too weak; the kidnapper’s gunshot had almost taken Qin Mobai’s life, and later he was transferred between places and sent to a private hospital in the Capital for treatment.

With many organ infections, waking up was due to a strong will to survive and... love for the girl in front of him.

"If you feel very uncomfortable, blink twice, and I’ll call the doctor for you. If you don’t feel uncomfortable, blink once." Lou Xi watched Qin Mobai’s dark eyes, amazed that she could meet his gaze once more.

Her entire body trembles now, cheering within.

Her Mo Bai has woken up!

Qin Mobai’s eyelids blinked once.

Such handsome features paired with his dark eyes, no words could adequately describe such beauty.

Seeing that Qin Mobai was not uncomfortable, Lou Xi’s anxious heart was relieved.

With her anxiety eased, Lou Xi’s heart pounded anew, cautious and careful.

"It’s good you woke up. Do you know how worried I was that you wouldn’t wake up after being shot? I was also afraid those bad people would try to kill you again, so I announced to the outside world that you were dead, making those who wanted to kill you think their plan was successful, thereby lowering their guard." Lou Xi shared all her worries of the past few days, "But this is kept secret from grandpa and grandma. They don’t know, as I’m afraid they would break down thinking you’ve passed away. Fortunately, the family is aware of the stakes and is keeping it a secret from grandpa and grandma."

She rambled on, not knowing where to begin, only choosing key points to tell Qin Mobai.

Qin Mobai’s gaze was calm, as if he didn’t care about those things.

He lay quietly on the bed, his eyes only focusing on Lou Xi.

Previously, she spoke so much, yet rarely about herself, her thoughts always centered around others.

How had she been?

That’s what Qin Mobai cared about.

After saying so much, Lou Xi looked into Qin Mobai’s eyes, sensing him delve into the core of her soul with his query.

Her heart fluttered.

"I’m fine, able to hold on." Lou Xi seriously told Qin Mobai, "Whenever I feel like I can’t keep going, I remember I must fight for our happy future, and I endure. Do you think I’m wonderful now?"

She seemed to be seeking praise from Qin Mobai, hoping for her husband’s commendation.

Qin Mobai’s mouth curled faintly upward, the most he could manage in his current state.

There were too many things he wanted to say to Lou Xi, but simply waking up had exhausted all his energy.

Just now, in the dream, she called his name, and he heard it.

He felt that if he didn’t wake up soon, he would be betraying the vow he made to her during their wedding—

To love and cherish her all his life, until death parted them.
