As soon as Sun Yu saw Liu Jingxing, he became even more afraid. He hid behind Ming Yue and whispered, “Young Madam, hurry up and explain to the Young Master. The Young Master will misunderstand.”

“What’s there to misunderstand? I just want you to help me.”

Liu Jingxing’s eyebrows twitched. “Help you with what?”

Since he had seen her, Ming Yue did not intend to hide it anymore. She said directly, “I want to ask him to pretend to be my husband and accompany me to the hospital to visit my grandmother tomorrow. My grandmother has been in a bad mood recently. I want her to receive treatment in peace.”

Liu Jingxing’s voice deepened. “Can’t you see that I’m a living person? Do you need to beg others?”

Ming Yue looked at the unhappy man in front of her and felt that he was strange. “Didn’t you say not to disturb you? Besides, will you help me if I beg you?”

Liu Jingxing stared at her with dark eyes. Thinking of what Zheng Ziheng had said, he coughed twice. “Yes, I’ll help you.”

“Huh?” This time, it was Ming Yue’s turn to be dumbfounded. She stared at him with a strange expression. Those who didn’t know better would think that he had mutated.

Liu Jingxing felt inexplicably uncomfortable. “You… don’t think too much. I just think that old people are too pitiful.”

Ming Yue probed, “Tomorrow… are you really going to accompany me to the hospital? I might have to trouble you more than once. In the future, my grandmother might ask to see you occasionally. Of course, I mean before we get a divorce.” After the child was born, her grandmother should have recovered.

Liu Jingxing responded with a faint “hmm” and looked a little impatient. “Since I have promised you, I’ll help you. Why are you so talkative? Let’s go home.” He strode towards Unit 3.

Ming Yue bit her lip and followed him. “Um… I have to tell you something in advance. What I told my grandmother is that my husband is a driver for someone else.”

Liu Jingxing nodded expressionlessly. He was tall, had long legs, and had big strides. Ming Yue was 1.63 meters tall, which was not considered short among the girls, but she still had to jog to keep up with him. “Also, I told Grandma… that my husband has a good temper and is obedient to me. So, please, you don’t have to deliberately treat me well when you go tomorrow. Just… just don’t get angry with me.”

Liu Jingxing felt his heart tighten, and he suddenly stopped in his tracks. A crack finally appeared on his expressionless face. Ming Yue did not expect him to suddenly stop, and her forehead hit the young master’s firm back. She thought that her words had made him unhappy, so she rubbed her head and explained, “I’ve been by Grandmother’s side since I was young. She is the only person who really cares about me. So if you get angry at me in front of her, she will be worried about me.”

Liu Jingxing lowered his eyes and looked down at the girl who was rubbing her forehead. He suddenly felt that perhaps he was prejudiced against her. Ming Yue and the girl Zheng Ziheng mentioned were the same person. In the past two months, he had indeed done a lot of things to bully her. He could not help but feel a little bitter. He felt that had committed a terrible sin.

Ming Yue felt as if her head had just been struck broken because she clearly heard the Young Master’s deep voice coming from above. “I’m sorry.”

Ming Yue widened her eyes and looked up at him in confusion. “Why…”

“I’ll do my best to cooperate with you tomorrow,” Liu Jingxing said coldly and turned to leave, as if the apology she had just heard was an illusion.

Ming Yue did not expect to hear an apology from the young master in her lifetime. She remembered that when she was young, her father would return to her grandmother’s house once a year. When he was chatting with her grandmother, he would mention the young master of the family. He said that he had a bad temper and was not easy to please. When he was eight years old, he pressed his twelve-year-old cousin against the wall and beat him up. When he was angry, he was like a violent little lion. His cousin was so frightened by him that he climbed up to the roof. He also climbed up to the roof and forcefully pulled him down. Butler Ming was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. He hurriedly found a few unused thick mattresses to cushion him on the ground. Only then did his cousin not fall badly.

Ever since he was young, he had always been a reckless person. He would get into a fight whenever there was a disagreement, and he always had a group of lackeys behind him. When he was in the fourth grade of elementary school, a sixth-grade senior bullied him. He caught a snake in the garden of the old residence and hid it in his bag before bringing it to school. He threw it into that senior’s uniform collar, and the senior peed his pants on the spot.

During middle school, he did whatever he wanted. Anyone who looked at him the wrong way would be beaten up and sent to the hospital.
