Mu Linxuan put the empty cup back to the little table, and took a piece of tissue to wipe the water spots on her lips. He was so gentle during the whole process.
Shen Qingkong could not help but say in a hoarse voice, “I heard it just now.”
“Hum.” Mu Linxuan knew Shen Qingkong woke up before, because he perceived changes in her breath.
Shen Qingkong pressed her lips, and did not know what to say for a moment. She had more bitterness in her heart.
“Relax.” Mu Linxuan tidied the messy hairs for Shen Qingkong, “I’ve never intended to hide it from you.”
He did not intend to hide anything from Shen Qingkong, and he thought it was not necessary to do so.
“But I’m so foolish.” Shen Qingkong smiled bitterly. She turned around, and found that it was already dark outside, with only firey rays of light on the setting sun, “I have a question to ask you.”
“Ok.”
“You did not disclose Yu Xinxin after you recognized her real identity. Is that not related to her face?”
Mu Linxuan could not tell.
In fact, he connived with Yu Xinxin’s acts in the past just due to her face.
Yu Youyou was really a special person for him. They grew up together since childhood, and they stuck together and helped each other in difficulties. Finally, she died to protect him.
He could not forget Yu Youyou although he did not love her now.
Shen Qingkong got the answer from silence of Mu Linxuan. But she was not angry, but asked, “Mu Linxuan, you indulged the fake person to stir up waves and you even protected her. So I can regard that both I and our baby are not as important as the face of your first love!”
Mu Linxuan frowned, “Qingkong, why do you think about me like this? Parents of Yu Youyou entered into Mu’s Group when she died, and then they bought popularity in the name of me. My subordinate turned a blind eye or even hid for them. When I found anomalies, family members of Yu Youyou were flourishing in Mu’s Group. If I insisted to remove all the family members of Yu, I was afraid that I might destroy Mu’s Group. So I had to keep close with Yu Xinxin to make them numb. But unexpectedly…”
But unexpectedly, Shen Qingkong was so resolute that she turned the situation like that.
Shen Qingkong just listened to him quietly. She was unwilling to analyze the truth of words of Mu Linxuan. Suddenly, she took a hand of Mu Linxuan and put it on her lower abdomen, “Mu Linxuan, our baby was living here. I saw her in my dream when she just came to us. It was a little girl looking like you so much. She smiled with a pleasant voice. She could call me mom sweetly. But I was so useless. I did not give birth to her finally. She left before she could look at the world.”
Shen Qingkong said in a peaceful and sweet-sounding voice. But every word was just like a steel knife, stirring in his heart. Mu Linxuan hardly wished to live.
Shen Qingkong kept staring at him. Finding pains in his eyes, she felt so delighted.
Mu Linxuan must have a lot of pains.
I’ve suffered pains, too, for five years.
Do you know? In so many cases during night, I woke up with ringing laughter of our baby, and then shed tears until dawn? Do you know? In so many cases during night, I could not sleep, because I was afraid that our baby might ask me in my dream, “Mom, why didn’t you protect me well?”
