Only then did his face relax and he slid into the blanket to hug her tightly. He was quite satisfied with her reply, at least it meant that she was really nervous and cared about him.
The peaceful days continued until the arrival of Qin Ruoyun that day.
That day, Mu Ran was happily chatting and laughing with Little Xuan and A'Kai in the clinic. Ever since he found out about her identity, she openly took care of her own clinic.
He didn't stop her, but he strictly forbade her from taking on any more of those random jobs. He even sent people from the Dragon Gate to spread the news that the Sunflower Dusk had left the circle and would never again appear in the underworld.
Of course she was in a good mood since she could do what she wanted to do. Although she sometimes felt sad thinking about the things between them, she was happy and content most of the time.
A'Kai said something that made her and Little Xuan laugh out loud. When she turned around, she saw Qin Rui standing outside the clinic, and the smile on her face froze.
Qin Ruoyun had just walked in. Looking at the gentle looking woman in a white coat, waves after waves of hatred welled up in her chest. She had been protected by him to the point that she didn't want to eat the living world.
She retracted her gaze and finally said something full of ridicule.
"Miss Mu, can you really smile?"
Mu Chengyan got up from his seat and looked at her with a puzzled expression, but Qin Ruoyun continued to laugh mockingly.
"I've heard that Miss Mu's medical skills are superb and kind, but Miss Mu was able to save everyone's lives and pushed him into an unrecoverable abyss on her own!"
Mu Chengyan's expression changed slightly as he frowned and asked Qin Ruoyun indifferently.
"Miss Qin, what do you mean?"
Under her feigned calmness, her face was secretly trembling uncontrollably.
Qin Rui's tone suddenly turned cold and harsh.
"Does Miss Mu not know that he is in a state of great distress?"
Mu Ran could not help but clench his fingers tightly as he thought about how worried he had been over the past few days. Then he heard Qin Ruoyun continue.
"Because of Miss Mu's heroic rescue at the golf course, his identity was exposed, his revenge plans were exposed, and all the carefully planned plans for the past few years were ruined!"
"What …?"
The calmness on Mu Ran's face was finally torn apart. Qin Ruoyun's reprimanding words were like sharp knives stabbing into her heart. Her face was as pale as paper for a moment.
She had not thought that saving Luo Shixun would put him in such a predicament. At that time, she had only thought of not making things difficult for Luo Xingtong, but never thought that it would bring such a devastating blow to him.
Speaking up to here, Qin Ruo's emotions were a little agitated, and her words were a little hoarse.
"Originally, he was certain that he could take Luo Shixun's life that day, but you interrupted everything. Now that Luo Shixun has raised a large amount of funds from who knows where and the entire Luo Family has turned back to normal, it would be even harder for him to make a move against them!"
As she spoke, Qin Ruoyun started to cry uncontrollably. She had truly been angry for him, not being worthy of being angry for him. Even after so many years of enduring humiliation and meticulous planning, she had still managed to keep her by his side even after being disturbed by that woman!
Especially after hearing that the Luo Family was able to raise funds that went into operation normally, she almost went crazy. Even though she had already seen how good he was to that woman, she still pretended to ignore him and continued to delude herself into thinking that he had only fallen in love with that woman for a short period of time.
He would get tired of it in a few days, especially after his successful revenge, and she wanted him to see what she had done for him all these years, and then choose to come back to her.
But now that everything was at an impasse, she suddenly felt a kind of dark despair, so she rushed over to find her without even thinking, and her leisurely and happy life stimulated her.
She sobbed until her whole body trembled as she leaned against the wall of the clinic and screamed at the top of her lungs,
"Mu Ran, how could a woman like you be by his side?"
She had been panicking from the bottom of her heart because of the huge disparity between her and him. Now that she had been criticized by Qin Ruoyun, she felt even more miserable in her heart.
However, Qin Ruo didn't give up and even complained crazily.
"You will only bring disaster and harm to him. What have you done for him all these years you have been married to him? What did you give him? Isn't it always you who get it from him endlessly? "
Mu Chengyan wanted to retort, but found that he had nothing to say, because what Qin Ruoyun had said was the truth. She had indeed never done anything for him, and could only be angry at him for hurting him or ignoring him, especially during the first two years.
A'Kai, who was at the side, could not bear to watch any longer. He walked over and pushed the crying Qin Ruo away.
"Have you said enough? If you have enough, then hurry up and scram. We don't welcome you here! "
Qin Ruoyun was a little embarrassed as she took out a tissue to wipe the tears off her face. At this moment, her exquisite makeup had cost her something, so she didn't care about anything else.
"I'm sorry, Miss Mu. I think I might be out of control, but I really feel sorry for him. You don't know …" "Just how has he been all these years …"
Mu Yurou clenched her fingers tightly, closed her eyes and took a deep breath to suppress the intense pain in her heart. As she spoke, Qin Ruoyun was choked with sobs.
"When he was seven years old, his parents were betrayed by their three best friends. They had no choice but to flee in all directions. They had no choice but to throw themselves into the sea with him in their arms and commit suicide!"
The way Mu Yurou looked at Qin Rui was already a little blurry. In the shadows, she felt that Qin Ruoyun's heartache was not as if she was acting. There were some things that could not be faked, and she was truly sincere towards him.
Qin Ruoyun let out a long sigh as she endured the pain in her heart and recalled the events of the past.
"Perhaps it's his great fortune. He was actually saved by the old man when he rushed to the shore. However, at that time, the old man was also chased down and left by the roadside …"
Do you know? "When I saw him, he was already on the verge of dying. His lips were dark purple, his limbs were already frozen stiff, and in the snowy weather that was a dozen degrees below zero, I asked my father to find the best doctor to save him!
After saying so, Qin Ruoyun couldn't stop her tears from streaming down her face.
"Later on, in order to make himself stronger, he forced himself to undergo all kinds of training. Those dark days in the Golden Horn Forest when the knife licked the blood, the poisonous snakes and fierce beasts' erosion, the hatred in his heart was as deep as it could get, and his desire to live was as deep as it could get!"
As Qin Ruoyun's last sentence fell, the tears in the corner of Mu Ran's eyes also slipped away. She had heard the old man say before that he had fished him out of the sea in the middle of a snowstorm, but at that time, she had still been against him, so she did not want to hear anything about him.
After that, no one told her about his hatred, so she didn't take it to heart. At this point, she finally understood why he was so afraid of the sea and how much he had to bear. However, what should she do now? She had already made it so hard for him?
Qin Ruoyun had finished what she needed to say, and she had already complained about what she needed to complain about. Looking at Mu Ran's absent-minded and tearful appearance, the hatred and unwillingness accumulated in her heart had finally dissipated a little: Mu Ran, I don't believe that his love for you can be so firm that it can withstand any kind of misunderstanding or tribulation.
What he hates the most, his bottom line, is that I know it the best! With this thought in mind, Qin Ruoyun glanced coldly at Mu Wenwen, turned around, and walked out of the clinic.
After Qin Ruoyun had left, Mu Wenwen still stood there with a pained expression on her face. Little Xuan walked over and helped her up onto her seat. Mu Wenwen grabbed onto Little Xuan's hand and asked in a daze.
"Little Xuan, am I … really don't deserve to be by his side? "
It was as if it was the first time she had cried for him, not the tears she had cried for every time he had angered her, but because of her heartache, her guilt, her self-reproach, and all sorts of complex emotions that she did not know caused her tears to flow.
Little Xuan softly comforted her.
"Senior sister, don't listen to that woman's nonsense. The Second Young Master is so good to you, he definitely won't blame you. If he had to blame someone, he would have already blamed you, right?"
A'Kai followed suit and awkwardly tried to persuade her. However, no matter how much Little Xuan and A'Kai tried to comfort her, no matter how much she tried to comfort herself, Qin Ruo's words had left an indelible mark in her heart.
