Chapter 335 - Mu Sifa's Vinegar
“I understand you're upset and deliberately avoiding me, but my dear, your actions are causing me pain...”
“Just give me a call once you arrive.”
Mu Sifa, neglected, attempted to speak, but Shang Cijie, preempting him, instructed Hei Zi in a manner that silenced Mu Sifa. T0p novel updates at novelhall.com
Caught in the middle, Hei Zi faced a dilemma, glancing between Mu Sifa and Shang Cijie.
“Very well,” he conceded at last. Given his familiarity with Shang Cijie, assisting him seemed only natural.
Mu Sifa gripped the steering wheel tightly, his expression betraying inner turmoil.
“At the next intersection, make a left turn,” Hei Zi suddenly directed Mu Sifa.
Mu Sifa remained silent, his brow furrowed, complying with Hei Zi's instructions. A palpable heaviness filled the car.
Shang Cijie, eyes barely open, gazed out at the flashing lights, lost in thought.
Mu Sifa's patience wore thin. “Tonight was my fault, I've apologized. Can't you acknowledge me? Respond!” His anguish palpable.
“Speak,” Ye Zichen finally met Mu Sifa's gaze, his eyes chilly.
Mu Sifa recoiled. Shang Cijie's demeanor mirrored his recent departure, impervious to warmth.
“Aren't you aware of my discontent?” Shang Cijie retorted, shedding his former gentleness for a domineering stance.
Mu Sifa faltered, utterly perplexed by Shang Cijie's ire.
“I vow to clarify any relationships in the future, granting no ambiguity. Is that insufficient? What more do you seek?”
Is it Xu Moyu's presence that fuels your animosity, Shang Cijie?
Jealousy consumed Mu Sifa. Five years of Xu Moyu's companionship versus a few months of his own acquaintance with Shang Cijie; he feared losing Shang Cijie and teetered on the brink of madness.
“I desire nothing from you. If you, Mu Sifa, feel slighted, depart. Cease pestering me.”
He shook off Mu Sifa's grip, departing with decisive, icy steps.
