"This is not coercion, this is caring!" Mu Yuesheng corrected her.
"You really know how to find excuses. Let me tell you, a little domineering is sweet, then too much domineering is selfish!" Xia Bing Qing said angrily.
But listening to her heartbeat, smelling his breath, she felt so attached to him.
She still loved him!
She felt that he had become terrifying, distant, and even resistant to his kisses, but the scent and the familiar warmth of his body was still slowly awakening, warming her heart.
Mu Yuesheng hugged her tightly. At this moment, he could hear that her words were a bit more capricious than before.
He caressed her hair and gently asked, "Then do you still want to listen to my explanation?"
Explain?
Xia Bing Qing couldn't help but pinch his clothes.
What explanation would he give?
She couldn't help but become nervous and conflicted. However, she knew that she couldn't avoid it.
Burying her head in his chest, she took a deep breath of his unique scent. She really wanted to go back to that day when he sent her the whole sea of flowers and held her hands as they walked through the forest. How she longed to hear that story.
Closing his eyes, he closed and then opened them again: "Go ahead! I'll listen. "
These five simple words made even his voice tremble slightly.
Mu Yuesheng was still unwilling to let go of her shackles as she carried her to the sofa.
He did not immediately speak, but remained silent, as if he was trying to think of where to begin.
Xia Bing Qing didn't rush him as she hoped that she could suddenly make a phone call so that the topic could continue tomorrow. But on the other side, she also wanted to hear this explanation.
His heart was in utter chaos.
The clock in the living room ticked and ticked, and her heart tightened and tightened in his silence, as if it had been wound up by the clock.
Finally, unable to resist the pressure, she opened her mouth with difficulty, "If … "You still haven't said what you want to say, then …"
"That day, I did recognize that woman through the surveillance camera!" Mu Yuesheng accepted her words. With a deep expression, she unhurriedly spoke.
Xia Bing Qing was startled and didn't say anything.
He had already begun to speak, and he would not stop. She could only listen.
Mu Yuesheng calmly looked at her and continued, "In the past, our Mu family adopted a girl. Her parents died in an accident, so my mother pitied them. In addition, she really wanted a daughter, so we adopted her."
Xia Bing's heartstrings vibrated …
It was so similar to the beginning, there was almost no difference.
The more similar they were, the more frightened she was. This was not the same; she would feel at ease if there was anything about them.
It was like a Pandora's box placed in front of her eyes. Even if she couldn't open it, it would become a curse in her heart.
She lowered her head and didn't say anything. Mu Yuesheng continued, "She was quite obedient when she came here, and was around the same age as you, but gradually, her behavior became more and more strange. In the end, she simply became sickly and unreasonable, and then …"
When Xia Bing heard this, she looked up at him.
Half of his well-defined face was covered by the moonlight, while the other half was hidden in the darkness.
His expression was calm, and she could not see his heart.
Her next sentence was enough to make her feel anxious. "What happened next?"
"Later on, she went crazy. The doctors said that it was the sequelae of traumatic stress, and our Mu family had no other choice. As long as we send her to the United States for treatment, it would only be half a year from the time she appeared until she left."
"To the United States where?" Xia Bing asked while holding her breath.
"Where else can an insane person go? Of course it's a lunatic asylum!" Mu Yuesheng's words were very succinct.
It was as if this was something that he only remembered in his heart and did not have any profound meaning to it. Or rather, to him, the memories of the past that were like smoke had long disappeared with the wind.
But was that really the truth?
This could only be seen from the beginning and the end of the proceedings. Why didn't he tell the middle part?
If Mia was just pulling at his "sister", why did he recognize her from behind?
And Jiang Yuan's reaction, if it was really that pure, why did it make a strong woman like her so pale?
The most obvious question was in front of her. She couldn't reason with herself, couldn't deceive herself.
This was an obvious lie.
He thought she knew nothing and could make up lies.
She wished now that he would tell Mia the same story, even if it was shock and unacceptable, better than being caught in a lie like this.
Xia Bing touched the recording pen in her pocket, wanting to take it out and show it to him.
Available...
And then?
Then what would happen to them?
Break up?
His heart dropped down from the sky with a "pa" sound.
He fell straight into the Ice Hell.
Mia wasn't afraid of the recorder, because the person she was really afraid of was herself.
Mu Yuesheng looked at her for a long time without speaking. She hugged her shoulders. "Why aren't you speaking?"
Xia Bing Qing didn't say anything.
That was because the blade in her throat was still cutting her vocal cords. As it moved downwards, it started to cut her heart little by little …
Mu Yuesheng found a thin blanket to wrap around her, stood up, and turned on the heat.
"Why …" "You didn't tell me before?" It took all her strength to utter those words.
"I can see her back in the store, but I don't know how she got back from America. I need to make sure. She's dangerous. You're carrying a baby... I'm afraid it will affect you. " Mu Yuesheng indifferently replied.
He crouched down and gently squeezed her cold little hand, letting out a deep breath.
The heat covered her skin piece by piece, but it couldn't warm the cold blood under her skin …
Afraid of affecting her?
If it was just an ordinary 'sister', would it affect her?
No.
He would tell her right away.
He had originally thought that his heart had fallen down and shattered, but now he was in extreme pain.
But when he said those words, she still felt even more pain …
She took a deep breath. She wanted to wait for the sharp pain in her chest to subside … However, it couldn't go away.
It went from point to surface and exploded in her heart, causing her to be caught off guard …
She could no longer feel his touch, his temperature …
Also, he didn't want to feel it anymore …
His fingers slightly curled up on his palm, forcefully pulling his hand back, "I'm going back to my room first, I'm so tired!"
She didn't want to.
I really don't want to.
He really didn't want to be stuck in bed like an ostrich and bury himself temporarily, but … There was nothing she could do.
Mu Yuesheng was stunned. She crouched on the ground as she watched Mu Ru Yue hasten back to her room.
What about her?
Didn't he already explain it clearly?
Why aren't you happy?
