“Xiaye?” he called out her na and coughed several tis as he sat up in the bed.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Xi Xiaye instantly realized that sothing was wrong with his voice as he sounded like he had a cold. The man was usually pretty susceptible to getting sick.
Mu Yuchen coughed several tis again before he replied, “I’m okay. It’s just a little cold. I’ve almost recovered.”
“Your body is getting frail. I told you to take care of yourself.” Xi Xiaye frowned.
“It’s my fault. I’m sorry!” the man quickly admitted his mistake. He paused before asking, “How’re our sons?”
“They are doing great. Xiao Rui keeps asking when you’ll be back while Xiao Cheng always looks around at night, probably waiting for you. He’s starting to recognize faces now. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and so is the National Day...”
“Bring the children out and have fun during the holidays.”
“But...” Xi Xiaye wanted to say sothing else, but she was reminded about what happened that night. “Mr. Mu, about Gu Lingsha and Qi Feng...Su Chen told that...”
“It’s all good as long as you’re fine. You shouldn’t have to worry so much...” the man interrupted Xi Xiaye’s sentence halfway. He did not want her to know what thods he used.
“You...” Xi Xiaye spoke quietly.
“I an, let the past stay in the past. Just leave them be if it doesn’t concern you. Don’t always keep it in your heart. Surely Qi Feng has many ways to make it hard for you to decline his invitation, but you have to be vigilant at all tis. You might have fallen into his trap if Qi Lei hadn’t inford .”
“Am I really that stupid from your perspective?” Xi Xiaye frowned unhappily.
“Honestly, yes,” he replied.
“Then, why did you marry ?”
“Because...you’re pretty...” a certain soone said sothing extrely embarrassing with a straight face.
1Xi Xiaye chuckled, but then she figured out it did not sound right. She was not sure if she should be angry that he was looking down on her, or to be happy that he complinted her looks.
1“I married you because I think you’re good-looking too...”
“You finally speak the truth! Alright, you should head to bed soon. It’s a weekend tomorrow. Rest well.”
“You take care too. Don’t overexert yourself.”
“I’ll be sure to follow your instructions. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight, Mr. Mu...”
...
In contrast to Xi Xiaye’s peaceful night, Gu Lingsha was having a hard ti falling asleep.
She realized that she was at the police station when she regained consciousness. The police were interrogating her like she was so criminal. Only then did she find out what happened.
“I don’t know anything! These aren’t mine! I’m being frad! Do you hear ? I suggest you let go right away or you won’t be able to bear the consequences!” Gu Lingsha glared at the officers as she had a cold expression on her face.
“Ms. Gu, I suggest you be cooperative with us. We found these in your bag, and this is your blood test, so what else do you have to say?”
“I didn’t take drugs! Believe it or not, these aren’t mine! I want to leave right now. Let go!” Gu Lingsha stood up angrily as she spoke.
“I’m afraid we can’t let you go with these as evidence.” The police officer was being really strict.
Gu Lingsha was extrely angry, and had no idea what happened!
Who had planned all this to fra her? She could sense that Qi Feng wanted to prove sothing to her, but why was she being frad right now? Should it not be Xi Xiaye?
“Let out!” she struggled as the officer grabbed her shoulder.
“Sit down!”
“It’s not ! Let out! I want to see my husband. I won’t answer any of your questions! I want a lawyer! I want to see my husband! Do you hear ? Do you even know who I am? How dare you treat like this?!” Gu Lingsha was getting worked up.
“You’ll see them, but I suggest you tell us the truth or you’ll be very sorry for it!”
“I told you it’s not mine! Not mine! You idiots are trying to fra ! Get your superior here. You guys have no right to talk to . I want to see your superior!” Gu Lingsha slamd the table angrily.
The officers traded glances shortly before they left the room, leaving her alone.
She still felt dizzy at the mont, especially after getting worked up like that. She felt exhausted.
What happened?
Why her?
Why her?
Xi Xiaye should be the one to learn her lesson. Did sothing go wrong or...
Did Qi Feng this on purpose?
Qi Feng had smiled at Xi Xiaye frequently over dinner although they were talking about work the whole ti. Things were suspiciously smooth between them.
Xi Xiaye was Mu Yuchen’s woman, and she knew very well how much Qi Feng hated Mu Yuchen. He was biased towards Xi Xiaye!
Gu Lingsha also thought that Xi Xiaye’s calm manner during dinner was odd. It was as if she was not worried at all which she should have been very cautious about.
Why was Qi Feng not here yet?
As Gu Lingsha was deep in her thoughts, she felt afraid and anxious. She took several deep breaths as her whole body shuddered...
