CHAPTER 63: CHAPTER 63: TWO KINDS OF LONGING

In order to prove he didn’t bully Jiang Xue, he had no choice but to do this. Yet he didn’t expect Bai Yuhua to misunderstand him again.

However, Bai Yuhua no longer cared about Zhuoyue and instead went straight into Jiang Xue’s room to see how she was doing.

Seeing Jiang Xue sitting on the bed unharmed, she finally felt at ease and asked, "Xue’er, are you alright?"

"Mom, I’m fine, don’t worry." Jiang Xue smiled and then said, "I just beat up Zhuoyue."

"What?" Bai Yuhua looked at Jiang Xue in shock, somewhat disbelieving. Although Jiang Xue was quite a handful before giving birth, she had never hit anyone before.

Moreover, how could a woman beat up a grown man?

"Mom, it’s true!" Jiang Xue was afraid Bai Yuhua wouldn’t believe her, so she recounted what had happened earlier in full detail.

After listening, Bai Yuhua didn’t know what to say to describe her inner shock.

Recalling Zhuoyue’s earlier words, Bai Yuhua completely believed Jiang Xue. Knowing Jiang Xue hadn’t suffered, she felt relieved.

But thinking of her daughter fighting a grown man, and the possibility she might get hurt if she lost, Bai Yuhua couldn’t help but worry and said, "Xue’er, you need to be more careful in the future. You have to assess the situation in a fight. If you can’t win, it’s not good to get hit back."

"Mom, I know." Jiang Xue felt sweet inside seeing Bai Yuhua wasn’t blaming her but was instead worried for her.

"Alright then, you rest for a while, and I’ll go get Zhuoyue out of here."

Bai Yuhua returned to the courtyard and looked at Zhuoyue, who had already climbed up from the ground, and said, "Zhuoyue, let me tell you once again, Xue’er is part of the Mu family, it’s not your place to bully her. If you dare to do this again, I’ll have your father beat you until you can’t get out of bed for three days. If you don’t believe it, you can try."

"Aunt, I didn’t do anything, is it necessary to be so harsh?" Zhuoyue felt aggrieved. First beaten by Jiang Xue, now threatened by Bai Yuhua, he felt wronged. He only wanted to stand up for his goddess.

Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to vent his anger, but he also became others’ punching bag. Thinking of how Jiang Xue hit him hard earlier, Zhuoyue still felt intimidated.

It seems Jiang Xue is no longer the same as before; it’s better for him not to provoke her. Otherwise, if she goes mad like today again, he’ll be in trouble.

"Didn’t do anything?" Bai Yuhua sneered, pointing to the wall, and said, "Should I get your father to come here and talk things out?"

Hearing about bringing his father into this, Zhuoyue’s face turned pale. He quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no need."

After saying this, he fled from Mu’s courtyard and went back to his home.

Back home, the pain hit him again. Zhuoyue took off his clothes, saw all the bruises all over his body, and couldn’t help but curse.

Jiang Xue, so ruthless!

Jiang Xue was completely unaware of Zhuoyue cursing her at home. Sitting on the bed, feeling a bit bored, she couldn’t help thinking about Mu Qiancheng.

She wondered what Mu Qiancheng was doing at this moment. Was he still on the train, or had he already arrived at his workplace?

Jiang Xue regretted again. She regretted not being more attentive to Mu Qiancheng. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have to guess where he was now; she would know exactly where he was.

At that moment, on the train to Shenzhen, Mu Qiancheng sat in his seat, looking out the window. But what flashed across his mind was Jiang Xue’s face.
