12 years ago, the third young miss of the Su family was disfigured by a fire. Her parents, deeming her ill-fated, drove her out of the house.
12 years later, she became a sacrifice for a fami...
Chapter 2016 I will believe everything you tell me
Mu Xin bit her tongue secretly. Was it because she had been kissing for too long that her brain was deprived of oxygen and she lost her ability to speak?
Fu Zichen asked again: "Do you like me?"
She was too shy and afraid of being embarrassed at the time. She thought that if Fu Zichen liked her, he would not be so calm when she kissed him. Maybe he just didn't want to embarrass her, so he endured it.
So she didn't dare admit it at all and said, "No! I... I'm just... I'm just curious about what it feels like to kiss, that's all!"
She said and ran back to her room.
After that day, she didn't dare to meet Senior Fu for a long time...
Of course, some other stories happened later, but Mu Xin didn't want to indulge in the memories of the past.
Those memories would make her uneasy.
Because the more she thought the young love of those years was beautiful, the more she hated Fu Zichen for concluding that she had an affair with another man just because of a few words from other women.
It was even more unbearable that he and her good sister appeared before her in pairs.
Is it because he has a brain tumor that he deliberately puts on an act for her to make her give up?
If it was acting, why would they act so realistically? Even doing those intimate things?
Mu Xin closed her eyes and her mood turned cold.
She glanced at the tall figure walking towards them in the distance, which brought her thoughts back to reality.
She is no longer the young college girl she used to be, and Fu Zichen is no longer her senior classmate Fu.
Now she is someone else's wife, at least in name.
And her husband was walking towards them.
Mu Xin said to Fu Zichen, "I won't drink with you anymore. My husband is here."
Fu Zichen also looked back and secretly tightened his hand holding the champagne bottle.
Then he retracted his gaze and fixed it on her face again: "It's a marriage in name only, but you call me husband as if it's real."
"It's true," Mu Xin said, glancing at the wine in his hand. "If you don't mind, can you give it to me? I want to have a drink with my husband tonight."
Mu Xin said this with the determination to get angry to death.
His expression was indeed frighteningly cold. She thought Fu Zichen would never agree, but he handed the bottle over: "This was originally meant to help you win. You can drink with whoever you want."
Fu Zichen's magnanimity made Mu Xin lose consciousness for a moment.
She thought he would get furious, say bad things, and then smash the wine rather than give it to her or another man.
But when Fu Zichen gave her the champagne so easily, Mu Xin felt empty instead, as if she had punched cotton.
No matter how her heart was turbulent, she calmly accepted the champagne and smiled at Fu Zichen: "Thank you very much."
After saying that, she walked towards He Yiming, but after two steps she turned back and looked at Fu Zichen.
"You didn't do anything with this wine, did you?"
He smiled bitterly and scratched his brow: "Could I possibly turn it into a bomb? Although I do want to do that."
The second half of his words made her heart ache.
Fu Zichen suppressed his smile and said to her seriously, "I will never hide anything from you in the future, and I will respect your choices and decisions. I won't do anything you don't want me to do. I will believe everything you tell me."
Fu Zichen's sudden change in attitude made her uncomfortable, and she once again felt like she was punching cotton.
She didn't know how to react.
"Mu Xin."
He Yiming's voice came from behind. Mu Xin came back to her senses. Without saying anything more to Fu Zichen, she turned and walked towards He Yiming.
He Yiming was five years older than her. Today, he looked handsome in a casual suit. His angular features, paired with a deep, calm gaze, gave Mu Xin a sense of security every time she saw him. He seemed trustworthy, reassuring, and a safe haven.
Two years ago, she got pregnant before marriage and suffered a miscarriage. It is unknown who leaked her story to the media.
Her father is well-known in the academic world, and her mother is the second daughter of the Shi family. The media has every reason to pay attention to Mu Xin's private life, because her family background alone makes her an object of curiosity.
After the scandal of her pregnancy before marriage was exposed, her father lost face and became bedridden.
After the miscarriage, she recovered for a week and then went home to visit her father.
The father only asked her who the child belonged to.
She said it was Fu Zichen, and her father smashed the teacup on her head: "You're lying!"
The blood from the forehead mixed with the tears from the corners of the eyes and flowed down.
Her father believed that she had betrayed Fu Zichen, which was why Fu Zichen broke off the engagement.
Because her father trusted his good student Fu Zichen too much and believed that he would not abandon her without reason.
In her father's words, she became a shameless woman with no moral bottom line.
Her father's distrust chilled her heart.
Mu Xin did not explain any more and walked out of her father's room, because there was no point in explaining. She had no evidence to prove that the child was Fu Zichen's, and she was too lazy to prove it.
Later, her mother gave her some money so that she could go on vacation abroad to relax and avoid the limelight. As for the public opinion in the media, her mother also asked her uncle Shi Guangyuan to settle it.
On the day of going abroad, her uncle personally sent her to the airport and told her not to worry about anything, as someone would pick her up when she arrived abroad.
Mu Xin asked her uncle why he still helped her. She had become a disgrace to the family and even caused trouble for her uncle. She needed to rely on her uncle's connections to settle public opinion.
Her uncle patted her shoulder and said, "I only trust my own judgment. I don't need the media to tell me what kind of person my niece is."
Mu Xin threw herself into her uncle's arms and cried bitterly.
That was the first time she cried loudly after Fu Zichen broke off her engagement.
Later, she arrived abroad smoothly and lived in the community arranged for her by her uncle, but she encountered a big trouble.
During that time, she continued to follow the news about Fu Zichen and knew that he had changed girlfriends one after another.
Those news finally caused Mu Xin to suffer from severe depression. When she couldn't sleep, she would walk out of the villa and walk alone on the beach until dawn.
But because she was walking on the beach, she was inexplicably involved in a major criminal case. Once convicted, she would be sentenced to life imprisonment, and her uncle would not be able to save her unless someone testified that she was just taking a walk and there was no so-called illegal transaction.
However, she was the only one walking on the beach, and it was impossible for the real criminal to come forward to clear her name.
At this time, one of her neighbors stood up and testified on her behalf, saying that he was also at the beach that night.
That person is He Yiming.
He Yiming told local police that he often worked late into the night. After he finished work that day, he accidentally looked out the window and saw Mu Xin walking out of the house and heading out of the community.
He was worried that Mu Xin might get into an accident, so he kept following her because he knew she was suffering from depression.
The reason why he cared so much about his neighbor was because he had a crush on her.
