Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 732

Chapter 732 Mommy, You&aposre Awake! Are You Hungry?

The following day marked Zixi's third birthday, coincidentally falling on a Saturday. Rising early in the morning, Xia wasted no time in preparing a birthday cake for Zixi. Immediately after, she then contacted Chuan.

"Zixi's cake is settled. I won't be working today. If other things are needed, you can make a shopping list for me. Since I have the day off, I have ample time to go shopping,"

Despite Muchen having assumed responsibility for LK Group's affairs, his presence at the hospital was solely dedicated to handling them. All essential documents and materials were diligently delivered to the hospital by Chuan, making his schedule rather hectic. Thus, Xia's offer had come in handy and timely.

Without hesitation, Chuan replied, "Great! I will do that in a minute. Thanks a lot!"

"No problem." Xia acknowledged.

Without delay, Xia received the list sent by Chuan and dutifully followed each item, ensuring the purchase of all necessary supplies, a task that occupied a significant portion of her afternoon. After hastily eating a quick meal, she transported the obtained items to the hospital.

Wanting to keep Zixi's birthday celebration low-key, everyone agreed to a modest gathering. Muchen revealed that Ziyue's health had significantly improved, and her awakening was imminent.

In light of this, Xia and Chuan decided to celebrate Zixi's birthday at the hospital, ensuring that Ziyue's recovery remained uninterrupted.

The VIP ward had all the essentials in stock, and it was common for Muchen to whip up meals there. However, he avoided the task of grocery shopping. Xia, on the other hand, took it upon herself to gather the necessary ingredients for dinner and some fruits and snacks.

Upon spotting Xia's arrival at the door, Zixi enthusiastically offered his assistance in carrying the bags. Xia entrusted Zixi with a relatively light bag, and he effortlessly held it in one hand while gently tugging at Xia's sleeve with the other.

"Daddy, Aunt An is here!" Zixi exclaimed.

Stepping out of the room, Muchen acknowledged Xia with a nod and extended his hand to receive the items she brought, calmly remarking, "Thanks for your help."

Despite Muchen's apparent improvement in temperament, his imposing presence lingered. Xia wasn't as afraid as she used to be, but a hint of intimidation still clung to his aura.

She quickly shook her head and replied, "No problem at all. These things aren't that heavy. I can manage them myself. Plus, you'll be the one cooking, so you're the hard-working one."

Muchen cast a gaze her way, leaving Xia inexplicably overwhelmed. She placed the items on the ground, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and added, "Well, it did get a little heavy after all."

Without saying a word, Muchen headed into the kitchen with the items he had taken.

Xia washed her hands and settled beside Ziyue's bed, unable to resist playfully pinching Ziyue's nose.

"You lazy sleepyhead! Your duvet has been changed to an electric cooling blanket, and you still won't wake up. Do you plan on becoming a professional sleeper to sleep through all four seasons?"

Suddenly, Xia's hand, which had been playfully pinching Ziyue's nose, froze.

Wait, what was that?

Am I hallucinating? Did Ziyue… frown?

She turned around and called out, "Zixi, Zixi, come here quickly!"

Zixi, who was curiously assisting Muchen in deveining the shrimp in the kitchen, though he hadn't quite mastered it, rushed out when he heard Xia's call.

Xia lifted him up and placed him on the bed. "Look, Zixi. See if your mom reacts to my pinching."

Zixi blinked and nodded as if he understood, "Mm!"

Xia felt jittery, fearing it might be a hallucination.

Gritting her teeth, she asserted more force to pinch Ziyue's nose this time.

In the next moment, Zixi exclaimed, "It moved! Mom's eyebrows moved!"

Before Xia could react, Zixi jumped off the bed and ran towards the kitchen, shouting, "Daddy! Mom's eyebrows moved!"

Upon hearing Zixi's voice, Muchen didn't even have time to remove his gloves. He grabbed Zixi's shoulders and asked, "What did you say?"

"Just now, Aunt An pinched Mom's nose, and Mom's eyebrows moved," Zixi replied.

At just three years old, Zixi could articulate his thoughts.

Without wasting a moment, Muchen hurried to Ziyue's ward, only to see Xia looking at Ziyue in disbelief.

He cast a brief glance at the bed, then shifted his gaze to Xia, his voice filled with uncertainty. "What's happening? Did Zixi really say that Ziyue moved her eyebrows?"

Xia said, "Well, Zixi wouldn't make things up, right?"

They had experienced numerous occasions when they thought Ziyue was showing signs of recovery and about to awaken, only to realize it was merely an illusion.

A mix of emotions welled up in Muchen's eyes as he crouched before Zixi, "Zixi, did you really see Mom's eyebrows move?"

Zixi nodded firmly. "Uh-huh."
