C28 Don'st try to be brave

Du Xuefen puzzledly turned her head to look at Lin Qing. She was extremely surprised at her endurance;

After all, Ye Chitian was the current mayor, and he knew this point.

"Ah Qiu — —" Ye Qianyu sneezed softly.

Even a sneeze from a miss could make her sneeze like she was supporting a willow in the wind, which was truly amazing.

"Aiya, it's really freezing. Let's go, let's go change clothes first. Can we leave this place to them?" Du Xuefen was extremely nervous, and seeing that Ye Qianyu was covering her mouth and nose but was peeking at Mu Xichen, she immediately understood what was going on and said to Mu Xichen. "Xichen, quickly take off your jacket and put it on Shuang Yu!"

This was an order, an order from a mother to her son.

Ye Qianyu lowered her head bashfully, eyes flowing with anticipation.

Mu Xichen, however, remained standing and unmoving. His pair of deep black eyes locked onto Lin Qing, as if he hadn't heard his mother's words.

Mu Xize hurried to help her out, took off her jacket and shouted: "Wear mine, my brother's clothes are so old-fashioned, it really doesn't match Sister Ye's skirt … …"

This place didn't need a match. It only needed to be able to withstand the cold.

The atmosphere was awkward.

Witnessing his daughter being treated coldly and unwillingly, Ye Chitian pointed the spear straight at Lin Qing, seemingly nonchalantly asking: "May I ask what kind of job Miss Lin is at, what kind of work unit is he able to bring up such good employees who are unwilling to apologize for their wrongdoings?"

Lin Qing's heart trembled. Oh no, if she was not willing to apologize, then it was not impossible for the mayor to find the [Merchant Road s], and if it affected her, then she would be the number one sinner.

However, since things had come to this, could he just apologize and let the mayor get away with it?

He could not help but feel helpless...

At this time, Mu Xichen walked over with large strides. Under everyone's gaze, he held Lin Qing's hand and walked in front of Ye Chitian and bowed: "Mayor Ye, I apologize on behalf of my wife."

Ye Qianyu raised her head from the protection of Du Xuefen, her eyes filled with shock and pain.

Ye Chitian was startled for a second, and then replied back: "Oh, it's alright, it's fine, it's fine, it's a small matter anyway, there's no need to be so serious … …"

As for Mu Yusheng and Du Xuefen, they both remained silent as they watched with heavy expressions.

Only Mu Xize was extremely happy.

Saying that he was apologizing, Lin Qing didn't even need to bend his body.

With his chest full, Mu Xichen did not want to stay for a second longer, after Ye Chitian finished speaking, he respectfully said: "Thank you Mayor Ye for being magnanimous, the sky is getting dark, I will leave first, we can meet again another day."

Ye Chitian laughed awkwardly: "Alright, alright, we'll meet again another time."

Lin Qing, who was firmly pulled by Mu Xichen and had left the scene with large strides, had a stunned expression the entire time, but of course, he did not see the brilliant expressions of the people behind him.

Especially Ye Qianyu, her eyes filled with hatred and envy, was about to drip blood.

He pushed Lin Qing into the passenger seat and then returned to the driver's seat. Mu Xichen started up the car with a cold expression and sped out of Sheng Yuan.

Looking back, Lin Qing saw that the Golden Gate of Shengyuan had shrunk into a point of light. She let out a long breath and finally left this place.

Just then, Mu Xichen stopped.

The speed of the car was extremely fast. Under the effect of inertia, she was almost pulled out of the car by the seat belt. When he heavily fell back onto the seat, he was in so much pain that his waist was almost broken.

"What are you doing!" She glared in anger, only to see Mu Xichen staring at her coldly.

He stopped abruptly and looked away.

"Look at me." Clear Cooldown was domineering.

Lin Qing did not dare look at him, and kept his head low.

An unprecedented sense of oppression.

"Don't let me say it a second time."

Under the strong pressure, Lin Qing was unable to withstand the pressure and carefully raised her head.

She pursed her lips and looked at him timidly like a child who had done something wrong.

She knew that she had caused him a lot of trouble today.

It would be better to be honest. Lin Qing did not wait for him to speak again, as she stammered, "I'm sorry … I didn't do it on purpose. "

Mu Xichen's gaze grew colder. What he wanted, was not this.

Suppressing his anger, he arrogantly asked, "What's wrong with it?"

He had already apologized, but why was he still acting so haughty? As expected of the one behind Du Xuefen! Lin Qing steeled her heart, and gritted her teeth as she said, "I accidentally bumped into Mayor Ye, and, and …"

"What else …" At this point of time, Mu Xichen's pitch black eyes were already blazing with fire as he turned around and pinched her shoulder.

"Also … Also … He even offended Miss Ye, you … The aunt left a bad impression, too. "B-but …"

Lin Qing, whose shoulder was in pain, tried her best to shrink her body to reduce the pressure.

"Wrong!" Mu Xichen lost his patience and mercilessly interrupted.

Lin Qing raised her head in shock. Other than this, she really couldn't think of anything else that she had done wrong.

"Stupid as you are, you really shouldn't have entered my house!"

Mu Xichen coldly let go, allowing her to fall back to his original position.

This was even worse than pinching her … This was because his actions could only interpret one word: loathe.

She had come to this conclusion by apologizing so much.

Lin Qing who felt extremely wronged turned his head towards the window. She wanted to watch Ye Jing soothe her emotions, but who knew that the moment she turned his head, her tears would start rolling down her face.

Looking at her trembling silhouette, Mu Xichen's pupils constricted. The softest spot in his heart was like a needle;

His heart had unknowingly become soft.

His large hand slowly stretched forward and embraced her shoulders, which she had deliberately controlled but which were still slightly trembling, as he embraced her.

The moment he stuck closely to the man's chest, Lin Qing's tears flowed and all his emotions exploded out.

"Stop crying, stop crying. It was my fault just now. I shouldn't have blamed you so loudly …" She spoke softly and even patted her back as if she was playing with a child. It was as if she was a completely different person from before.

Lin Qing cried even harder, sobbing as she sobbed: "Actually, actually, I didn't hit her …."

Mu Xichen curled his lips, and fiercely smacked her in the head: "Nonsense, I knew it!"

"Huh?" Lin Qing stopped crying, she raised her head and looked at him in disbelief: "How do you know?"

Mu Xichen remained silent and continued to lock onto her with that disdainful and disdainful gaze.

Lin Qing's anger rose once again, and she swung her fist everywhere: "Since you know you're asking me to admit my wrongs, I hate you too much. I'll hit you, I'll hit you … …"

Mu Xichen did not dodge, allowing her to vent his anger.

When she was tired, she laid on his chest, panting for breath. Then she recovered her cold tone and said, "Enough. We have to continue the topic."

Lin Qing's wrist felt pain, but she did not dare use too much strength, the injury on her wrist had not healed after all.

He was surprised to hear this. "What topic?"

"What's wrong with you?" A cold tone, a businesslike manner.

"You!" Lin Qing became anxious and waved her fist again.

Mu Xichen held her wrist, turned and picked up her hand to place in his palm. Feeling the warmth of his thick palm, Lin Qing became so angry that he twisted his fingers, and the light in his eyes became soft and gentle as he curled his lips.

"I ask and you answer. Firstly, I have been wronged by Ye Qianyu, why didn't you look for me? "

Lin Qing was a little dazed. From the beginning to the end, she had never thought to seek Mu Xichen's support.

But seeing that the haze had gradually covered that handsome face, Lin Qing did not dare to speak the truth, and quickly replied: "I, I, I saw Ye Qianyu falling into the water, I lost my cool, I forgot …"

Uh, that seemed to be a reasonable explanation.

Mu Xichen's expression slightly eased up, "Secondly, it was clearly Xize who hit him. Why didn't you clarify it …"

Saying this, Lin Qing became more confident and proudly straightened her back, "Look at how cute Xize is. Tell me, how could I bear to see him being criticized, so I have to take the blame. Everyone will be responsible for protecting Xize!"

Seeing that she still had a complacent look, Mu Xichen raised his eyes and glanced at her, his voice cold: "So glorious?"

"Of course, I really like Little Brother Xize."

Mu Xichen's face was filled with black lines. "Do you think Xize needs your protection?"

Lin Qing blinked her eyes dumbly.

Xize wanted her to protect him. This was a problem.

"If Xize bumped into the person from the beginning to end, what do you think would be the outcome?" Mu Xichen dug up the topic further. Although Lin Qing did not say anything, he suddenly felt that she was wrong.

"If Xize bumped into people, everyone would just laugh it off. But you did bad things out of good intentions, and did things that would hurt your enemies so quickly! The only result of you doing this, is giving Ye Qianyu the chance to criticize and attack you. "

Lin Qing was covered in cold sweat, her mouth agape, and she actually did not have the slightest chance to refute her words.

"What was your reaction when you saw me apologizing to Mayor Ye just now?" Mu Xichen asked.

Of course Lin Qing remembered, Mu Xichen was only simply expressing his apology. Mayor Ye very magnanimously passed by, and repeatedly emphasized that there was no need for it to be so serious.

"Therefore, if Xize bumped into that person, then that would also be Mayor Ye's reaction."

Lin Qing suddenly realized that Mu Xichen was willing to lower his head and apologize. Turns out it wasn't just an apology, she also realized how simple it would be if she didn't take the blame.

"You have to remember, if something similar happens again in the future, the first thing you need to do is to tell me. Also, don't try to be brave, understand?" Mu Xichen scratched the bridge of her nose and smiled.

Lin Qing who was sincerely convinced nodded her head.

The fledgling Lin Qing turned her head in shock as she subconsciously searched for the source of the light. Unexpectedly, the light became more and more wild, and the frequent flashes caused her eyes to temporarily go blind.

After all, he was born in the « Merchant Road » and he quickly regained his senses, but it was already too late.

She screamed and raised her hand to cover Mu Xichen's face.

It didn't matter even if she exposed herself, as long as the low-key Mu Xichen was not exposed.

Mu Xichen glanced at the small hand in front of him. It was stubborn, but cute, weak and determined. He suddenly understood that Lin Qing protecting Xize was just an instinctive reaction, but at this moment, his feelings were no different from Xize's.

He gently pulled the small hand closer to his heart and then pulled the entire little person over, his cold lips firmly imprinted onto it.

"Ugh …"

Lin Qing was completely dumbstruck. She opened her eyes wide, but her mouth was tightly sealed.

Mu Xichen, do you know what you're doing?!

A series of questions and exclamations flashed through his mind. His brain short-circuited and his body froze.
