Chapter 237: 235: Mu Cidian, do you like Xin Zaozao! (Third Update)
It isn’t too late at the moment, but it’s definitely not early either.
The night sky is filled with stars.
The myriad stars are looking down at Mu Cidian’s extraordinary behavior.
And Xin Zaozao’s resistance seems so feeble.
Her mouth has been covered by Mu Cidian’s hand, preventing her from shouting for Nie Feng, her body pushed against the wall next to the front gate, her struggles only injuring her back.
She figures, Mu Cidian might be drunk.
Because he reeks of alcohol.
She figures, Mu Cidian might not be drunk after all, but simply seeking revenge.
Because she is living a good life now.
And his mother, and her , can’t stand to see her happy for even a moment.
So, they want to destroy everything she has.
She’s used to it.
She’s used to their cruelty towards her.
And she doesn’t feel anguish, because one day she will retaliate even more ruthlessly, she just needs to bear it, stay healthy, safeguard her life, and she will eventually fight back.
She stopped struggling.
Gradually, he seems to become gentler, tender enough… to taste her hot tears.
One by one, they fall on his lips.
A very salty taste.
At that moment, Mu Cidian seems to suddenly freeze.
He is as still as a statue.
He releases her body.
Perhaps she isn’t seeing clearly, maybe her vision is blurred, she seems to see a flustered look on Mu Cidian.
When she does see clearly, it is always that face that disgusts her to the point of nausea.
The two of them, looking at each other.
Xin Zaozao can’t even be bothered to fix her clothes.
To Mu Cidian, what innocence does she even have?
Once, twice, many times… hasn’t it always been like this?
A silent space.
“Have you released enough?” Xin Zaozao asked him.
Mu Cidian seems to swallow a lump in his throat, he opens his mouth but doesn’t let out a sound.
“If you’re done, please let me pass.”
Mu Cidian has blocked her way back
She knows that if Mu Cidian won’t let her, she can’t get in through this door.
And the person who should leave this house definitely isn’t her!
“Zaozao …” Mu Cidian calls her.
What a joke.
It’s been a long, long time since she heard him call her “Zaozao”.
And when he calls her by this name, he is using his incredibly hypocritical gentleness to bring about her world’s devastation.
“I’m sorry.” Mu Cidian said.
In fact, he didn’t do anything.
He hadn’t done anything yet after regaining his senses.
Even so.
In Xin Zaozao’s view, the outcome is the same.
Whether he does it or not, her hatred for him has already reached its limit, it can’t grow furthermore.
He said, “I had a few drinks…” He tried to explain.
He drank a lot tonight.
He really drank a bit too much.
He actually has a good tolerance for alcohol, so he didn’t expect to get drunk He didn’t expect to become irrational when drunk.
“What are you trying to achieve by telling me all this?” Xin Zaozao asked him.
Mu Cidian looks at her.
In her view, everything he does comes with a purpose.
“Tell me, did you suddenly fall in love with me? Tell me, you didn’t mean to hurt me, it’s just because you couldn’t control your inner passion after getting drunk?” Xin Zaozao is making excuses for him.
With a hint of ironic laughter at the corner of her mouth.
If he said he really liked her, she would never believe it in this lifetime.
He doesn’t try to explain anymore.
Nor does he want to speak further.
To her, the more he says, the more she gets disgusted.
He turns around coldly.
At that moment, he could quickly return to his past cold self, continuing his cruelty to Xin Zaozao, he said, “You guessed it right, I did everything on purpose. I did everything to destroy every bit of your happiness, to ensure you will never be happy.”
Xin Zaozao chuckles coldly.
She knows it very clearly, she has known it a long time ago.
“So Xin Zaozao, you should not have come back.” Mu Cidian states word by word.
You shouldn’t have come back.
Perhaps, given time, he’d accept it…
Accept the fact that she was doing well.
“This is my home! This is the Xin family’s home! What do you, Mu Cidian, and Wan Quan have to do with it!” Xin Zaozao erupted in anger; she was easily provoked when it came to what mattered to her. She spat out her words in such hatred, her teeth gritted, “You are the ones who shouldn’t have come back! You’re the ones who should go away!”
Her voice was screaming, as if her throat was on the brink of rupture.
No one was going to force her out!
This was her place!
“Mu Cidian, I’m not afraid of you anymore!” Xin Zaozao fiercely declared, “For a long length of time, I thought I would always live under your shadow. For a long time, I thought I could not fall in love with anyone else, it would be hard to be attracted to another person after you, even though you were so cruel to me. I once thought that, even if I did feel hatred, I would always have love for you…”
Mu Cidian stared at her.
At that moment, it seemed like his fingers were trembling.
“I now know, I don’t love you anymore.” Xin Zaozao stated, her tone light, “I don’t love you at all. I also can quickly fall for someone else, I can also have emotions of my own. For you, all that’s left is pure hatred.”
All that was left, was hatred.
Mu Cidian just listened impassively.
It was as if Xin Zaozao’s determined voice was hovering around his ear, impossible to dispel.
He turned around.
His back to Xin Zaozao.
Seemingly indifferent.
He asked, “Have you fallen for Ji Baili?”
“Yes, I love Ji Baili!” Xin Zaozao didn’t hesitate, she decisively told him.
She loved Ji Baili.
So…
Women are truly the most fickle creatures in the world.
Whoever treats her well, she likes.
Whoever makes her happy, she falls in love with.
Anyone can replace anyone!
No one is anyone’s only one.
He nodded, a slight nod, “That’s good. At least I don’t have any concerns.”
He strode away.
His cold silhouette receded further from Xin Zaozao’s view.
Concerns?
Mu Cidian, have you ever had a shred of sympathy in your heart? Even a little would have spared me this hurt and this hatred!
She tugged at her clothes, not wanting to expose herself.
She strode into the house.
At that moment, no one noticed the black sedan parked near the entrance of the villa, obscured in the darkness by Mu Cidian’s car.
Wan Quan glared at the front door with venom.
She had only just returned from attending an evening reception, hoping to win over the Xin family board members!
Her expression was disconsolate.
Others might not perceive it, but Wan Quan had raised Mu Cidian single-handedly, she knew his thoughts clearly despite his attempts to hide them.
Her whole being was exceedingly ferocious. At that moment, she flung the car door open in fury and stormed into the villa.
She made a beeline for Mu Cidian’s room.
The room door was locked.
Wan Quan crazily pounded on the door.
Mu Cidian opened it, eyeing his mother’s furious demeanor warily.
“Where were you tonight?!” Wan Quan demanded.
Mu Cidian didn’t answer.
“Where were you tonight?!” Wan Quan roared, “Why didn’t you answer my call! Why did you turn your phone off, Mu Cidian!”
“The battery died.”
“Mu Cidian! Were you with Xin Zaozao, were you with her tonight!”
Wan Quan seethed at her son.
Seeing his cold attitude towards her.
Recalling Mu Cidian’s behavior towards Xin Zaozao just a moment ago, his pained expression as he turned his back to Xin Zaozao, she hated her son so much at that moment she wanted to slap him to death.
How could he like Xin Zaozao!
How could he!
“I went for a drink,” Mu Cidian explained, “Alone.”
“Do you have a death wish?! What’s the state of your health, and you went to drink?! Do you want to die?!” Wan Quan roared.
“I know what I’m doing with my own body,” Mu Cidian didn’t seem in the mood for further discussion.
“Know what you’re doing?” Wan Quan scoffed, “Do you have any restraint when it comes to your feelings?”
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about!”
“Do you like Xin Zaozao, do you like that shameless woman?” Wan Quan’s voice rose.
Mu Cidian’s gaze shifted to the corridor.
Wan Quan abruptly turned her head, but the corridor was empty.
“What, afraid Xin Zaozao might suddenly appear and overhear?” Wan Quan coldly eyed her son.
Mu Cidian didn’t seem to want to answer. “I want to rest.”
“So if you don’t say anything, shall we take it as an admission?! Is that it, Mu Cidian, your silence indicates your affection!” Wan Quan was completely out of control, “I’ve wasted all these years raising you, and you go and fall for the daughter of our sworn enemy! Mu Cidian, tell me clearly, do you or
Xin Zaozao really didn’t want to listen to their mother-son quarrel.
She couldn’t bear it and opened her room door, curious to see if there was going to be a fight.
Then she heard Wan Quan asking Mu Cidian so brazenly!
