Chapter 84

C84 – Don’t Cry I’m Here

Shang Xiaojie sniffed and said, “Now?” This sounded very wronged.

“Yes. Right now.”

Hearing Shang Xiaojie’s tears, a pang of pain hit Mu Sifa’s heart. He found it hard to maintain the distant and cold demeanor he initially had towards Shang Xiaojie, let alone resort to violence.

“Do you still hold anger towards me?” He checked his tears, his voice maintaining its gentle and endearing tone.

Amused by the question, Mu Sifa chuckled, “I’m not angry, come here!”

A soft warmth flickered in his gaze.

“You’ve promised now! Don’t be mad at me later.”

Even without words, Mu Sifa could sense the deep impact his outburst had on Shang Xiaojie.

“If you don’t approach, I might actually get mad.” His lips curled into a smile, perhaps masking the remorse he felt for hurting Shang Xiaojie.

“I’m coming right now,” replied Shang Xiaojie hurriedly, ending the call.

“Xiaojie! Why head to the hospital? Hop in!” Mu Xiaoxiao, already in a taxi, beckoned him.

Shang Xiaojie felt a deep pain in his heart. Hesitatingly, he took a step back, tears forming in his eyes.

“I am... I’m not a mistress.”

A tear slid down his face, reflecting his hurt and vulnerability.

Wu Junxin, having rushed to greet Shang Xiaojie by the elevator, was visibly shaken upon seeing Shang Xiaojie’s distress.

How could I have not foreseen this?

With a steely gaze toward the gossippers, he directed Jia Tianxia, who was nearby, “Compensate them and send them away. I don’t want such employees around.”

“Understood, I’ll handle it immediately.”

Jia Tianxia had never been fond of those gossipers and never hesitated to voice his opinions.

After giving his instructions to Jia Tianxia, Wu Junxin approached Shang Xiaojie, pulling him into a comforting embrace, his own eyes moist. “It’s okay. I’m right here.”

Being embraced so suddenly, Shang Xiaojie’s tears flowed even more freely.

“Mu Sifa...”

Ye Zichen called out his name with a trembling voice, while grabbing onto his clothes tightly.

Mu Sifa’s heart began to hurt again. He wished he could cut them into a thousand pieces.
