Incurable Chapter 24 Part 1

The woman in her arms did not answer. With the sound of rain, her breathing became longer and evener, and she seemed to fall asleep again. Liu Qianxiu looked down at her. He opened the second bedroom door and put her on the bed.

No one has lived in the second bedroom, but everything is always complete and clean. Liu Qianxiu turned on the night light at the head of the bed and turned to leave. The moment the door closed, the faint glow in the living room was shut out, and the woman on the bed opened her eyes.

She listened carefully to the footsteps outside the door, and when she heard the sound of another door closing, she closed her eyes, holding the thin quilt. Gradually, she curled up and finally kicked her legs hard.

When she had finished, she let go of her grip and lay on the bed in an open shape, breathing heavily.

Liu Qianxiu hugged her princess. He agreed to let her live in his house and said she could do whatever she wanted. Most importantly, she could see him tomorrow morning!

Mu Wan was a little excited. She rolled back and forth twice while holding the quilt and chuckling. The sound of rain outside the French windows was full of joy that she couldn’t hide.

Mu Wan didn’t know when she was asleep last night, but it must be late. When she was woken up by Li Nan’s phone in the morning, she was a little angry.

She opened her eyes, sat up from the bed, and took three seconds to reflect on where she was, and her ire disappeared when she got up.

“Hello, my lord.” Looking at the time, it was less than seven o’clock.

Li Nan is an agent. He usually follows Mi Yu to the production team, and his schedule is also quite unstable. Sometimes, when Mi Yu works all night, he has to work and follow Mi Yu all night.

“The City of Prayer premiered at 7 o’clock this evening. You go there and stand down.” Li Nan arranged.

Mu Wan is a professional supporting role player, and this station affair is rarely arranged for her. Generally, Li Nan will let her go through the scene when Mi Yu doesn’t have time. The supporting role stood there for a while, but the host couldn’t ask her any questions. After the end, you can watch the premiere in the movie theatre.

She likes attending the premiere because she can watch a free movie. But Mu Wan couldn’t go there today, because she had a scene to be filmed tonight. Although Li Nan’s work focused on Mi Yu, he would not forget this schedule.

“I’m going to shoot on the set at seven o’clock. The Wind and Snow.” Mu Wan reminded him.

“Ah.” Li Nan replied, “I was about to tell you this schedule has been cancelled.”

She has not played an important role, and the scenes will likely be deleted until none are left, so the cancellation is reasonable. As soon as Li Nan finished speaking, Mu Wan remembered what Mother Wu had asked her yesterday. She narrowed her eyes, looked down at the small daisy embroidery on the quilt, and asked, “What about my schedule tomorrow?”

“The schedule tomorrow is normal.” Mu Wan has never been ambitious, so she rarely asks such meticulous questions. Then Li Nan added a sentence, “There is no big problem with the cuts by the screenwriter.”

“I see.” Mu Wan was relieved and smiled, “Thank you, Sir.”

After hanging up the phone, Mu Wan also woke up completely. She leaned on the bed and looked towards the French windows. The curtains in front of the windows were closed, leaving only a slight gap, letting in a beam of light, not knowing whether the weather was cloudy or sunny outside.

She exited the bed, went barefoot to the French window, and opened the curtains. As soon as the curtains opened, the morning sun filled the room midsummer and lit up people’s moods.

Mu Wan stretched her body, put on slippers, and went to wash up. Liu Qianxiu took her in for the night last night. Thus, she had to go to bed and get up early so as not to cause him trouble.

After washing, Mu Wan opened the door and walked out.

The living room is quiet, with a faint fragrance of agarwood wafting. The scent can calm the brain and the mind. Liu Qianxiu’s bedroom door was closed tightly, and Mu Wan wondered if he had already gotten up. While thinking about it, Mu Wan heard several meows from the cat room.

After Mu Wan’s eyes turned, she walked towards the cat room. Sitting at the door of the cat room, Zhou Yi. Seeing her coming, it raised its paw and licked it. Mu Wan looked up into the cat room, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

Liu Qianxiu has already got up. He was sitting on the carpet in the cat room, holding a bottle and feeding the three little ones. There was only one milk bottle among the three cats, and Liu Qianxiu bottle-fed them in sequence. The three small heads moved back and forth in unison toward the bottle in his hand.

The cat room curtains are wide open, the sun is pouring down, and the kitten’s body is soft and fluffy, shining transparently in the sun. The man was wearing a long shirt and trousers, sitting cross-legged on the carpet, with well-knotted fingers holding the baby bottle about to bottom out. The sunlight penetrated the fingers and revealed a thin layer of light.

Mu Wan stood at the door, and Liu Qianxiu quickly noticed her. He looked sideways. His brows were light, and the warmth and tenderness remained in his eyes.

Mu Wan’s heartbeat accelerated steadily.

“Good morning.” Mu Wan retracted her mind and looked down at the carpet. Her earlobes were hot. She walked over, sat beside Liu Qianxiu, and said, “You got up so early.”

“They are hungry.” Liu Qianxiu Looked down at the cat and replied in a deep voice.

It’s hard to raise a kitten because the kitten’s life is fragile, and it also takes a lot of effort to feed the kitten every few hours. The three kittens can only grow up like this now, and she can’t do it without Liu Qianxiu’s thoughts.

Thinking of this, Mu Wan remembered Li Nan’s phone call in the morning. She looked up at Liu Qianxiu and said, “Liu Qianxiu, I invite you to watch a movie.”

Liu Qianxiu raised his eyes to look up at Mu Wan. She laughed, put her hands behind her, looked at the three little ones, and said, “The movie I acted in as a supporting role will premiere today. I will attend the premiere and invite you to see it at the movie theatre.”

She kept looking at Liu Qianxiu while she was speaking. Her little face was full of hope, and her eyes were bright.

Liu Qianxiu retracted his gaze and asked, “What time?”

“At half-past seven in the evening.” Mu Wan felt she had made more than half of the success and hurriedly replied. She didn’t know much about Liu Qianxiu, so Liu Qianxiu also didn’t know much about her. Today’s movie is about two people alone, letting Liu Qianxiu know more about her and letting him understand her better. Speaking of it, he doesn’t need to understand her much. She is just a minor actress with no father and no mother. It is estimated that Liu Qianxiu can guess it all the time.

“I have an operation at night.” Liu Qianxiu’s voice was calm, “It might be late.”

“It’s okay. You don’t have to be in a hurry. You just come, and I’ll wait for you.” Knowing that Liu Qianxiu had agreed. She laughed and looked down at the cat.

“I’ll do it. The kittens already grow up so big, but I never fed them breakfast yet.” Mu Wan lifted her hands from the carpet and reached out the bottle before Liu Qianxiu. She sat up straight and set her posture very well.

A third of the milk is still left in the bottle so she can feed them. Liu Qianxiu did not refuse and handed her the milk bottle. Mu Wan took the bottle to lure the three little ones, but the three little ones didn’t follow the bottle at all. They raised their heads and shouted at Liu Qianxiu.

She often came to see them and was very close to her. But when she was with Liu Qianxiu, the three little ones were closer to Liu Qianxiu than her.

Eventually, Liu Qianxiu grabbed the three little ones and put them in her arms.

When Mu Wan took the bottle to soothe, the little kitten stopped crying. Mu Wan’s fingers poked the ears of Zhongfen, which were fluffy on the fingertips and remarkably comfortable. She raised her head to look at Liu Qianxiu, who stood up and joked: “They love you so much now. When they grow up, I will take them away. What if they can’t live without you?”

After Mu Wan finished speaking, she asked again, pointed to herself, and said: “They can’t do without you, so can I stay with them?”
