“Just because I misunderstood you and Xu Youyou?” Jiang Xue bit her pale lip with her pearly white teeth. She did not even realize her lower lip was bleeding. Tears glistened in her eyes as she said, “Aren’t you even going to ask why I was deceived by Lin Zhihuan?”
Kang Mingcheng remained silent.
Jiang Xue shouted hysterically, “Isn’t it because you’re always looking at Xu Youyou’s painting? Did you fall in love with her long ago? If I didn’t exist, would you have already laid your hands on her?!”
“Shut up!” Kang Mingcheng said coldly with a gloomy expression on his face, “Don’t use your filthy thoughts to insult my admiration for her.”
Jiang Xue was stunned. Kang Mingcheng had never spoken to her so harshly before.
!!
Kang Mingcheng looked at her and said, “I can turn a blind eye to what you’ve done in the past and let it go. However, it’s different this time.”
“Xu Youyou is the student I admire the most. I’ll devote all my efforts to cultivate her into a world-famous artist. No one can hinder her.”
In the past, Kang Mingcheng did not care about what Jiang Xue did to his female students who were close to him. Jiang Xue was just a mediocre person who thought too highly of herself, and he was too lazy to deal with her. However, Xu Youyou was different.
Xu Youyou was talented and hardworking. As long as she had the right guidance and he pointed her in the right direction, she would definitely bee a great artist and create amazing works.
Jiang Xue knew how crazy Kang Mingcheng’s love for art was. She knew that he could even abandon his parents for the sake of art. She panicked again. Tears rolled down her face like a broken string of pearls as she said, “I was wrong. I really know my mistakes. Mingcheng, please forgive me. I did this because I love you too much. Mingcheng…”
Jiang Xue moved to hug Kang Mingcheng, but before she could touch him, he pushed her away.
Kang Mingcheng’s expression was cold and unmoved as he said, “When I return, I hope that there won’t be anything of yours in the house. I don’t even want to see a strand of hair from you.”
After saying that, Kang Mingcheng mercilessly left the room without looking at the self-centered woman who loved him so much.
…
After carrying Xu Youyou into the car, Mo Shenbai did not let her go and continued to hold her. The heater in the car had been turned on so he did not worry about her feeling cold.
Xu Youyou leaned against his chest, looking listless. She was obviously exhausted, but she did not want to sleep. She smelled the woodsy fragrance on his body and felt extremely at ease. She even greedily thought to herself that she wanted to smell it for the rest of her life.
Mo Shenbai picked up a blue thermos and unscrewed the lid. He took a sip, making sure the temperature was just right before he said, “Drink some water.”
Xu Youyou drank a few mouthfuls of water and felt that her throat was much better. Then, her face suddenly flushed as she said, “You… You drank from it as well…”
Mo Shenbai could not help but laugh. “We’ve already kissed. Why do you still care about such a thing?”
“Don’t say it!” Xu Youyou hurriedly covered his mouth. A shy expression appeared on her face immediately.
“Alright, alright. You have a cold so drink more hot water.”
Xu Youyou was afraid he would speak nonsense in front of Cang Ming so she obediently drank the water. After she was done, she said softly, “I’ve already drank the water so don’t talk about those things…”
“What?” Mo Shenbai did not hear her clearly. He put away the thermos and looked at her.
Xu Youyou shook her head and leaned against him weakly. She asked curiously, “Why are you here?”
Mo Shenbai did not say anything.
Instead, Cang Ming, who was driving, replied, “Chairman Mo is worried since Madam is alone…”
With these words, Xu Youyou seemed to understand that Cang Ming must have spoken to Mo Shenbai. She felt bad for troubling Mo Shenbai so she said, “I’m sorry you had to e all the way here.”
Mo Shenbai tightened his grip around her waist as he said in a low voice, “You don’t have to apologize. You’re not causing me trouble. I came willingly, after all.”
If Mo Shenbai was unwilling, no one could force him.
Xu Youyou blinked and asked, “Then why are you willing to e?”
