Amidst her confusion, a light cough ca from the side. Yao Yunqing’s body stiffened, and she turned her head to gaze at the man who had already opened his eyes, feeling a flood of emotions and unsure of what to say...
"Xiao Feng, I’m sorry."
She slightly lowered her head, saying in sha, "If it weren’t for , you wouldn’t have..."
"This is my responsibility!" Xiao Feng furrowed his brows slightly, saying coldly, "Besides, I’m not badly hurt, there’s no need for you to bla yourself..."
Yao Yunqing pouted; this guy, he was so good to her just because he had taken her body and wanted to take responsibility for her?
"Yue’er," Xiao Feng’s gaze shifted to Mu Ruyue, his voice weak as he spoke, "you’re back?"
Mu Ruyue smiled slightly, "I’ve been away for so long, it’s ti for to return. If I don’t co back now, I fear soone might steal my sister-in-law away."
Xiao Feng’s body tensed suddenly, his black eyes directed at Yao Yunqing. He opened his mouth and a low, husky voice filled the room, "No one... can take her away!"
Yao Yunqing was taken aback, her gaze fixed on the man’s handso face, uncertain of his aning.
Did his words an... he wouldn’t let her marry soone else? For so reason, hearing his words, an unusual feeling surged in her heart, a sensation of satisfaction that filled it completely.
The young girl stood there, dazed at the interaction between the two, feeling as if her heart was harshly wrung, her face as pale as snow, her whole body shaking slightly.
Even though it was she who had brought him out of the dungeon, in this man’s heart, there was only her...
The girl felt as if a hand was clenching her heart fiercely, pain suffocating her. She had just seen this man last night, yet she was already attracted by his charm, deeply ensnared...
"Big brother, I’ve co to take you and Qing’er back," Mu Ruyue said softly with a light smile, "but before that, there’s one more thing I need to finish here..."
As she spoke, Mu Ruyue’s eyes turned towards Yao Yunqing, her lips curving slightly, "Qing’er, how is Grandpa doing?"
The smile that previously adorned the woman’s face abruptly vanished upon hearing those words.
She gave a bitter laugh and said, "If Grandpa were still able to move, how could my second uncle have done such a thing? I’ve co back this ti to see Grandpa for what may be the last ti. He is almost gone, so even if I fall back into the trap by returning, I have no regrets. Otherwise, I’d be wracked with regret! The only thing I did wrong was to bring Xiao Feng with back to the Yao Family..." She lightly pursed her lips and said with a soft voice, her gaze on Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng did not speak, a complex emotion fleeting across his cold black eyes.
Watching the sowhat awkward pair, Mu Ruyue couldn’t help but smile. She knew that Yunqing must occupy a place in her brother’s heart; otherwise, with his personality, why would he get involved with her just out of responsibility? If he didn’t have feelings for her, he would never have taken this risk.
Even while seriously injured, he refused to give up.
"Qing’er," Mu Ruyue’s gaze fell once again on Yao Yunqing’s delicate face, her words deliberate, "I think I can save your Grandpa’s life."
Only by doing so could Yao Yunqing remain protected within the Yao Family; only if the old man of the Yao Family lived would she not be bullied...
And most importantly, the old man seed to care for Yao Yunqing, and Yao Yunqing was just as unwilling to let him go...
