Chapter 2971 - Inhumane...

Please stop staring at me like that. Help, somebody!

I’m innocent too.

Under the man’s frosty gaze, Hua Jin silently chanted the mantra in his heart.

Yun Shishi said in a teasing tone, “For some reason Hua Jin suddenly had a craving and wanted to eat Baxy. And I just couldn’t fall asleep, so I came looking for food with him! He he!”

Mu Yazhe mimicked her sneer. “Huh huh.”

Yun Shishi fell silent.

As did Hua Jin.

They both made a silent wish for the man to stop laughing.

Even crying was better than laughing.

Yun Shishi was feeling extremely guilty. Then she heard Mu Yazhe sit down next to Hua Jin. He turned around to look at Hua Jin, lazily resting his chin on his hand, his expression much like a loving elder looking at a junior.

Hua Jin grew increasingly uneasy.

“Brother-in-law, what’s the matter?”

Mu Yazhe looked at him and said in an inexplicably gentle tone. “You’re really that fond of ice cream?”

Despite his gentle tone, it fell like frost on the ears, as though there was another meaning behind his gaze and words.

Hua Jin shuddered. He braced himself and nodded. “Ah.”

“Alright then.”

Mu Yazhe stood up abruptly and left his seat.

Hua Jin could not be bothered with where he was going or what he was up to. He grabbed Yun Shishi’s sleeve nervously and said on the verge of tears, “Sis, I don’t want to take the blame for this! Brother-in-law is a cruel man. Who knows what he’ll do to me! Could he have gone to get a whip to whip me?”

“No way! He won’t do anything to you in public.”

Yun Shishi was also extremely nervous. Pausing for a moment, she quickly consoled him, “Don’t worry. Your brother-in-law is very gentle. He won’t scold you or hit you. If he dares to hit you, I’ll definitely stop him!”

“Really?”

Hua Jin was still skeptical when he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around in confusion and saw Mu Yazhe returning with two large cartons of Baxy. The man placed the buckets before Hua Jin.

“The treat’s on me.”

Hua Jin was petrified.

These two large cartons of Baxy contained five smaller boxes each!

Under Hua Jin’s blank gaze, Mu Yazhe sat opposite him and looked at him calmly.

“Eat up. If it’s not enough, we’ll get more. My treat.”

A dead silence.

Hua Jin replied with an awkard expression, “It’s not good to have so many.”

Yun Shishi could not see anything. She could only hear Hua Jin’s devastated tone, it was as if he was about to cry.

“Didn’t you say you were craving it?”

Mu Yazhe smiled deeply again. “If you won’t eat this…”

Hua Jin looked at him, wide-eyed.

Mu Yazhe’s voice suddenly turned cold. “If you won’t eat it, don’t blame me for whatever consequences there may be.”

A dead silence.

…

Right from the start, Yun Shishi only sat there in a dignified manner. What she did not see was Mu Yazhe sitting opposite Hua Jin with a carton of Baxy in one hand and a spoon in the other, feeding large chunks of ice-cream to Hua Jin patiently.

Hua Jin did not dare to resist at all. Imagining all sorts of consequences, he felt that it was better to eat Baxy!

So he braced himself and took one bite after another. Despite the summer heat, his teeth chattered from the cold by the time he finished the carton.

Mu Yazhe calmly opened another carton and brought a mouthful of ice cream to his mouth. He ordered, “Eat.”

“Sob…”

The corners of Hua Jin’s eyes twitched as he took a bite. He felt sick.

He glanced at the carton of Baxy on the table from the corner of his eye and lamented in his heart. Please don’t tell me I’ve to eat all of that?!
