    Thinking of Mu Hui’s explanation, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Xue Mingzhu’s palms. Although it was uncomfortable and sticky, she subconsciously clenched her fists tighter, hoping to gain some courage and strength.

    “Mingzhu?” Xue Mingzhu’s silence made Xue Ci’s eyes darken. His tone became gentler, but his eyes fell on Xue Mingzhu right and wrong.”Didn’t the doctor tell you to get more rest?”

    There was already an element of doubt in this statement, but Xue Mingzhu was in a state of confusion and did not notice this.

    “Ah…well…I, I just woke up…my mouth was a little dry, and I just wanted to get down and get a glass of water…”

    “Get a glass of water?”

    Xue Ci repeated it several times, and Xue Mingzhu nodded hurriedly.

    “Then why don’t you go in?”

    His expression stiffened, Xue Mingzhu’s eyes flashed slightly.

    Just when she was thinking about how to explain, Lin Xiyun’s voice came from behind.

    “Mingzhu? Aci? Why are you here?”

    Xue Ci did not expect that Lin Xiyun and Xue Mengwu would appear. After a moment of surprise, he nodded slightly.”Dad, Mom.”

    Lin Xiyun glanced at his son and took Xue Mingzhu’s hand.

    “It’s cold at night, why don’t you put on more clothes before coming down?”

    Lin Xiyun’s gentle tone soothed Xue Mingzhu’s anxiety and allowed her to forget the conversation she just heard between the two.

    “I’m fine, Mom, don’t worry.”

    Here, Lin Xiyun and Xue Mingzhu were talking softly, and over there, Xue Mengwu and Xue Ci were already talking about business.

    The scene of a family of four living in harmony seems cozy and warm at first glance, but in fact, each of the four has their own thoughts and plans, but they don’t show it on their faces.

    “Brother…”

    “Huh?”

    “Even when I was hospitalized, my sister didn’t come to see me. Do you think she would…”

    Xue Mingzhu didn’t say clearly whether it would happen, but her eyes revealed everything.

    Xue Ci quietly looked at this sister who seemed to him more and more strange since then.

    “It’s okay. Didn’t I tell Chun’an that she came to see you? It’s just that you were already asleep at that time and she left first because she didn’t want to disturb your rest.”

    This is not the first time Xue Mingzhu has asked Xue Ci like this, and Xue Ci’s answer is always the same.

    In the past, when Xue Mingzhu heard him say this, she would put on a forced smile and then leave in despair.

    But this time she didn’t do that.

    “Brother, can you help me ask my sister out?”

    Hearing this, Xue Ci paused while flipping through the documents.

    “Do you want to see Chun’an?”

    “I want to see my sister.” Xue Mingzhu clasped her hands in front of her with a sincere attitude.”I think my sister misunderstood me. Although something like that happened…but I know that everyone is innocent. It was just an accident. I don’t want my sister to have a problem with me because of this.”

    Xue Ci’s eyes moved down and stayed for a moment on Xue Mingzhu’s wrist wearing a watch.

    “Really?”

    “Well, brother, can you help me?”

    Xue Ci did not answer immediately, but asked another question.

    “Where’s Lu Qisheng?”

    This name made Xue Mingzhu’s body stiffen unconsciously.

    Although the reaction was subtle, it did not escape Xue Ci’s eyes.

    So he continued to test.

    “If you want to be with Lu Qisheng, I can explain it to my uncle, aunt, and parents.”

    These words finally made it difficult for Xue Mingzhu to maintain his calmness.

    “No!”

    Realizing that her reaction was too excited, Xue Mingzhu bit her lip, took a few breaths, and then reluctantly said: “Sister and Brother Lu’s wedding invitations have already been printed. Changing them again and again will cause a lot of trouble.”

    “You don’t have to worry about any of this. I’m your brother, so I naturally care about your happiness.” Xue Ci smiled when he heard her say this.”You risked your life for Lu Qisheng. Come to think of it, your parents, uncles and aunts will understand…”

    “That’s not the case.” Xue Mingzhu quickly interrupted him as if she was afraid that Xue Ci would continue to speak.”I, I just couldn’t think about it for the moment. Because Brother Lu misunderstood, I… chose such a stupid way to prove my innocence.”

    The woman’s slender body was crumbling, and a forced smile appeared on her pale face.

    “I finally convinced myself to accept this. Brother, please stop joking with me, okay?” His eyes blinked and tears flashed.”I really don’t want to get hurt again.”

    she begged.

    Xue Xue was trying on a dress when she received a call from Xue Ci.

    It started because Mu Rong hoped that Xue Xue could attend a dinner party with him.

    In the past, Mu Rong never attended such occasions, and his nephew Mu Ziyang, who was about the same age as him, was usually present on his behalf.

    Mu Ziyang’s father was Mu Rong’s second brother Mu Tian, ​​who was also Mu Yidian’s illegitimate son.

    Unlike others, Mu Tian has been raised by Mu Rong’s mother, Luo Xuefen, since he was a child, because Luo Xuefen once thought that she would never have children of her own.Therefore, when Mu Rong was born, Mu Tian was already married, and his wife was a geologist.

    Not long after, Mu Tian’s wife also became pregnant.

    The child born less than two years younger than Mu Rong was Mu Ziyang.

    Unlike the Mu family who were obsessed with power and plunder, Mu Tian yearned for an unfettered life and a vast world he had never seen before.So after Mu Rong was born, he had a showdown with Luo Xuefen, using his power in exchange for freedom.

    In the next five years, with the help of Luo Xuefen, Mu Tian successfully broke away from the control of the Mu family and traveled all over the country with his wife and children. However, he died during a snow mountain climb, leaving only Mu Ziyang who stayed at a friend’s house. He was brought back to raise by Luo Xuefen half a year later.
