After a while, Mu Mingtang asked in a low voice, “You kicked that person today. Will you be punished by the General when you go back later?”
“Of course,” Xie Xuanchen sneered at this and said, “There is nothing good about in his eyes, but it doesn’t matter. Either way, I’ve been punished many tis throughout the years, so this one ti doesn’t really affect much.”
“But…” Mu Mingtang bit her lip, hesitant to speak, “This ti it was obviously because of .”
Xie Xuanchen looked at her curiously, “So what? I took you into the Xie family, so how can I let you be bullied? With such an unclean manner of speech, I have already given consideration to his family na’s sake by not killing him.”
For a good while, Mu Mingtang remained speechless. She looked at the vast rain outside the eaves and suddenly felt her nose sour.
After she was adopted in her previous life, she had been let down and manipulated. She erased all her edges and corners, dared not speak or laugh, and beca the person that both Xie Xuanji and the Jiang family were satisfied with. She was used to being the one who was always abandoned, which was why she never thought that one day, soone would go all out for her and offend the powerful for her.
She…was also favored by others.
Xie Xuanchen found that Mu Mingtang had not spoken for a long ti, so he was shocked when he lowered his head, “Are you crying?”
“No,” Mu Mingtang blinked hard and walked out of the shade first, “The rain has stopped, let’s go back.”
Xie Xuanchen didn’t expect Mu Mingtang’s eyes to turn red. Stunned for a good second, he was half a beat slower when catching up with her footsteps. The wind blew after the rain stopped, the breeze blowing through Mu Mingtang’s half-sodden clothes. She shivered slightly at the chill.
Xie Xuanchen saw her shiver and took off his coat without saying a word, draping it over her shoulders. Mu Mingtang was surprised and wanted to take it off imdiately, “How can I…”
“If I let you wear it, then just do it,” Xie Xuanchen forcefully held onto Mu Mingtang’s shoulders and wrapped his coat around her tiny fra, “It’s okay for to get wet in the rain, but you can’t. Don’t go back to class today, I’ll take you ho.”
Mu Mingtang skipped school for the first ti in his life, and his voice hesitated: “Isn’t this bad?”
“Why is it bad?” Xie Xuanchen didn’t care at all, and said, “Don’t worry, when I get to your house, I’ll say that it rained today and the teacher cancelled the class. Your parents won’t find out.”
With that, Mu Mingtang shut up silently. Xie Xuanchen truly was experienced in creating believable stories.
Even if a large devil beca smaller and more immature, he was still a devil.
Hence, Xie Xuanchen sent Mu Mingtang ho, changed into a dry coat at the Mu family’s residence and then walked to the Xie Mansion.
He originally expected that Xie Yi would be angry again after returning ho. Most likely, he would be punished by the family rules, but he didn’t expect that the house would actually be peaceful upon his return.
He assud that Xie Yi hadn’t obtained the news yet, so this was rely calm before the storm. Xie Xuanchen waited for two more days, but Xie Yi hadn’t yet kicked down the door to lecture him in the slightest.
