Hearing Ye Jianping's answer, was there any reason for Xiao Muting to go back?

As a result, his back stiffened and his eyes immediately became decadent.

He slowly turned around and looked straight at the other party with his dark and peaceful eyes. His voice sounded weak and weak, "Uncle Ye, I spoke too boldly earlier, so I apologize to you here. But there's no need for us to involve women, right? "

Looking at Xiao Muting's pitiful and frustrated appearance, Ye Jianping was overjoyed.

Therefore, the corner of his mouth twitched as he laughed in an exceptionally distracted manner, "Hehe, I dare not say. Wasn't Radix Sorbiae quite arrogant before? Don't be so humble, this old one cannot take it. "

Xiao Muting frowned, he could see that Ye Jianping was deliberately making things difficult for him or humiliating him, but he could not get angry, he could only endure.

After all, at that time and for what it was, his Xia Wan was still in the other party's hands.

With a gentle tone, Xiao Muting became even more humble and sincere, "Then, what do you think I should do in order for you to let Xia Wan go?"

Hearing this, Ye Jianping smiled craftily.

He tilted his head and pretended to seriously think for a moment. After that, he indifferently asked, "Then, if I ask you to marry a child, will you be able to do it?"

Clenching his teeth, Xiao Muting tried his best to suppress his anger.

His lips were trembling slightly, and the veins on his neck were bulging, yet he was trying his best to appear calm and collected.

"Uncle Ye, I told you from the beginning that I would not accept the difficult task I had to force you to do."

"Then there's nothing to talk about, there's no point in chatting. Go." Lifting his teacup, Ye Jianping quickly ended the conversation and didn't look at Xiao Muting again.

It was as if his earlier request was just a joke.

At this point, Xiao Muting just noticed that the other party did not plan on letting Xia Wan go, and was just making fun of him.

But what could he do, fight back with a pale face? No, he couldn't.

In just half an hour, things had gotten out of his control.

However, he still had to move with Xia Wan and go through days where no one would bother him.

Therefore, while tightly clenching his fists, Xiao Muting took a few steps forward and actually kneeled down in front of Ye Jianping with a thump, "Uncle, I'm sorry. I was presumptuous before.

Seeing that, not only was Ye Jianping stunned, even Lu Yaoyao who was standing by the side covered his mouth in surprise.

She was in a trance listening to the bitter pleading sound that was barely audible from Xiao Muting's broken throat.

It turned out that the arrogant, aloof, and noble man would be willing to submit to others.

It turned out that the other party had never put Xia Wan down, and for Xia Wan's sake, she was even willing to turn her back on the entire world, and suffer all the blame and doubts.

Hot tears rolled down his face and entered his mouth. He swallowed them with difficulty, feeling dejected and frustrated.

"Mu Ting, why do you think this is so painful?" Leaving my son aside, who is still thinking about Tang Shaofeng's wife and yet doing such a thing for her, is it worth it? " The hypocritical Ye Jianping, who was sighing deeply as he tried to break Xiao Muting's heart, all for the sake of fulfilling his daughter's wish.

However, he had never considered Xiao Muting's wish, for from start to finish, was only to have one Xia Wan.

Seeing that Ye Jianping was still not willing to let him go, Lu Yaoyao supported him.

Seeing Xiao Muting give up his dignity and pride for Xia Wan, even though she was in pain, her heart involuntarily ached for him.

Standing up, Xiao Muting's demeanor was still outstanding. He was tall and straight, but the depths of his eyes were filled with pain and contempt.

He didn't want the future that he had just planned for to end like this, and he didn't want to lose Xia Wan in his future life. He continued to plead tirelessly: "Uncle, why do you insist on insisting on not letting Xia Wan go? The one who doesn't want your daughter is me, what's there, can you charge at me? "

Realizing that Xiao Muting was being stubborn, Ye Jianping's face darkened as he used a "hopeless" gaze to look back at him.

"Mu Ting, to tell you the truth, I was really doing this for you. I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain." Pausing for a moment, Ye Jianping continued with a pleased look, "That illegitimate daughter of mine, Ye Fu, has been hidden away by that brat Tang Shaofeng. Right now, I am worried about not being able to grab onto his weakness, but unfortunately, Xia Wan was caught by me, do you think I will let Xia Wan go?"

Not caring about the personal grudge between Tang Shaofeng and himself, Xiao Muting only wanted to get back at Xia Wan.

Thinking back to what Xia Wan had said, "I'll go wherever you go", he was immediately terrified, and his heart ached faintly.

So, his eyebrows wrinkled into a square, his face cold as he thought for a moment, then resolutely raised his head, "Uncle, I am willing to help you find your daughter! But please do not use Xia Wan as your bargaining chip! "

Hearing that, Ye Jianping had yet to open his mouth, but he heard Lu Yaoyao say in astonishment: "Xiao Muting, are you crazy!? Do you know what Ye Fu did to Xia Wan? Did you forget that Tang Shaofeng is your benefactor? Did you forget that Xia Wan doesn't even belong to you!? "

Feeling that Xiao Muting had lost his reason and was now unable to differentiate right from wrong, Lu Yaoyao became extremely angry.

Xiao Muting glared at Lu Yaoyao unhappily, as though to indicate that he should not interrupt.

Giving a self-deprecating laugh, Lu Yaoyao's heart fiercely clenched as she was hurt to the point of almost suffocating under Xiao Muting's cold and harsh gaze.

After muddle-headedly walking out of the Ye Family mansion, she was unwilling to listen to Xiao Muting's selfishness, unwilling to admit that she loved this kind of man.

But as she breathed in the fresh air that was no longer oppressive, her heart still felt dull, her mind blank, and she had no idea what to do next.

She should have immediately notified Tang Shaofeng and discussed the solution to save Xia Wan with him.

However, her feet seemed to stick to the ground in front of the Ye Family's front yard, unable to move no matter how hard she tried.

"Xiao Muting, for Xia Wan's sake, are you really going to become a despicable person through and through …" Muttering to himself with sad eyes, Lu Yaoyao paced back and forth in front of the Ye Family mansion.

He was prepared to beg for an explanation from Xiao Muting, preparing to wake his up with a curse.

So, she couldn't leave just like that. If Xiao Muting and Ye Jianping really reached a consensus, then Tang Shaofeng would fall into his trap.

Therefore, Lu Yaoyao's mind was in a mess as she looked at the night sky. She thought that she would have to wait for a long time, but after ten minutes, a dejected Xiao Muting walked out from behind her.

Perhaps it was because they had not reached an agreement yet, but Xiao Muting's empty gaze brushed past Lu Yaoyao, and he completely did not notice the other party's existence.

"Xiao Muting!" With red eyes, Lu Yaoyao bellowed at him.

Puzzled, Xiao Muting turned his head, his eyes dimmed and did not say a word.

After walking a few steps closer, Lu Yaoyao asked loudly, "Xiao Muting! It was one thing for you to hide Xia Wan at the beginning, but now you want to collude with people like Ye Jianping! Do you know what you're doing? Do you know how scary it is for you to become numb and cold-blooded?! "

With a snort, Xiao Muting looked at everyone and laughed bitterly, "Is that so?"

Seeing how relaxed the other party was, Lu Yaoyao became even more furious.

But before she could continue with her curses, she heard Xiao Muting ask faintly: "How do you know Xia Wan is at my place?"

Lu Yaoyao was momentarily stunned still. For a long time, she refused to make a sound as she was being tormented by her guilt.

But her guilt had nothing to do with Xiao Muting. It was because she said that her words had leaked out, that caused Xia Wan to be brought away by Ye Tong and the others, and that was why the situation that Tang Shaofeng had to face was even more troublesome.

Xiao Muting stared coldly at Lu Yaoyao. His mood had dropped greatly and he seemed to blame all of his mistakes on this foolish girl in front of him.

Lifting his head, he looked at Xiao Muting's deathly pale face with a critical gaze. Lu Yaoyao's heart ached, but he calmly replied as if he had lost his temper: "If I hadn't discovered Xia Wan at your place, how long would you be able to live? Do you know that Xia Wan is Tang Shaofeng's wife? Do you know that your way of doing things is very immoral?! Yes, maybe Xia Wan has temporarily lost her memories, and let you have a false impression that she is relying on you, but if you ask yourself, she really likes you, and is she truly willing to be together with you? "When she remembers everything, she might hate you to death!"

Based on his own deductions, Lu Yaoyao unceremoniously poked a sore spot on Xiao Muting's body.

Four eyes met, and in their eyes, Xiao Muting could only show anger and disgust, while Lu Yaoyao felt so complicated that she felt like dying.

Retracting his gaze, Xiao Muting turned around, his tone cold and cruel, "Lu Yaoyao, the regretful decision I made tonight was to come and redeem you to the Ye Family! As a matter of fact, what does it have to do with me whether you are dead or alive, whether you are in danger or not? If I didn't come, Ye Jianping wouldn't have taken advantage of this and he wouldn't have left me … "

Watching Xiao Muting's silhouette grow further and further away under the moonlight, Lu Yaoyao's heart, which was filled with a simple passion, had never felt so cold before.

She slowly crouched to the ground and began to cover her face as she cried, hysterical as a child.

After a long while, she got up and dried her tears. She felt relieved that she was finally able to staunchly retract her feelings …

When night fell, Lu Yaoyao, who had a solemn expression, appeared in the old house. She, who was sitting face to face with Tang Shaofeng, seemed to want to say something, but was unable to do so even after a long while.

"What on earth made you come over so late?"

Lu Yaoyao braced himself, knowing that the more time passed, the more danger Xia Wan would face. He had no choice but to be more straightforward, "Xia Wan is in Ye Jianping's hands! You may be ready to exchange hostages with him! "

"What!" Tang Shaofeng got up from the sofa with a whoosh, his expression excited yet confused at the same time, "What, is what you said true? Xia Wan is really with Ye Jianping? "

He closed his eyes lightly as he looked at Lu Yaoyao who nodded heavily. The corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Seeing that, Lu Yaoyao carefully asked: "Tang Shaofeng, did you not hear it clearly? I said that Xia Wan is with Ye Jianping, why don't you seem to be worried at all? "

Tang Shaofeng smiled charmingly, then explained with a assured expression: "Because the person he is looking for, is me! So, whatever way he treats Xia Wan, I will use. This logic, since he's so smart, how can he not understand it? "

At first, Tang Shaofeng was worried that Xia Wan would fall into Ye Jianping's hands.

But later on, he suddenly felt that Xia Wan was not as safe in anyone's hands as she was in Ye Jianping's.

After all, he held onto the other party's weak spot so that Ye Jianping would not dare to be confident. But how could Tang Shaofeng dare to guarantee for the others?

As such, he was already optimistic about this situation.
