Chapter 88: Unsuccessful Retention
Fu Xingchen glanced sideways at Shao Leyan, who was as dumbfounded as a wooden chicken, thinking that she was in a bad mood because she had been tired these past few days. He was completely unaware that she was worried about something. The doting in her eyes was so overwhelming that one could drown in it at a glance.
"Le Yan, thank you."
boom!
The blood rushed to her head, and the guilt almost made Shao Leyan's heart burst. Her face turned red instantly, and she could only lower her head to cover it up.
"We are husband and wife, there is no need to say this."
Suddenly, Fu Xingchen recalled Shi Huai's smug and boastful face and the words that deliberately hurt him. He clenched his teeth and subconsciously clenched Shao Leyan's hand.
"I'm sorry I couldn't kill Shi Huai to vent your anger."
Shao Leyan felt that Fu Xingchen had the city lord syndrome, and he took everything on himself regardless of whether it was his responsibility or not.
Among these six male protagonists, which one is as patient and responsible as him?
Shao Leyan once again admired Le'an's good taste. He reached out and gently stroked Fu Xingchen's cheek. His eyes darkened and he pursed his lips.
Shao Leyan made up her mind that for their happy future, she would never let Fu Xingchen know what she had done behind her back.
Half an hour later, in Mu Sheng's office.
Mu Jinsheng sat in the main seat, Lu Chuchen and Mu Jiaojiao sat in the same row, Fu Xingchen and Shao Leyan sat on the opposite side, and the five of them reviewed everything that had happened in the past few days.
After Mu Jinsheng finished his summary, his eyes kept glancing at the tightly clasped hands of Fu Xingchen and Shao Leyan. He subconsciously clenched his fist on the armrest of the sofa, and his speech speed became faster and faster without him realizing it.
However, everyone present thought that he was busy and in a hurry to end this impromptu meeting, and no one questioned it.
Fu Xingchen couldn't help but sneer after hearing this.
"It's been two or three days, and none of you know where Mu Sheng went?"
Lu Chuchen rolled his eyes at Fu Xingchen and said unhappily, "He has his own legs. Even if he runs to the ends of the earth, we can't stop him. On the contrary, you, now that you've recovered, hurry home. Do you know that we in Central City have put in a lot of effort to save you?"
Fu Xingchen raised his eyebrows and said, "I will return to you twice as many crystal cores as you used on me when I get back."
Lu Chuchen snorted coldly and said nothing. Instead, Mu Jinsheng suddenly spoke up: "When are you leaving?"
"Xingyan and the others have woken up, and we decided to set off tomorrow."
"tomorrow?"
Mu Jinsheng's gaze shifted to the silent Shao Leyan, and he asked with a hint of concern, "Is it too late?"
Fu Xingchen looked at Shao Leyan with a smile, and wrapped her small hands tightly with his big hands. "Leyan is afraid that if she stays here, it will bring more trouble to you, so we will leave early."
Lu Chuchen sneered and said, "That's good. You still have some self-awareness."
"Early morning!"
Mu Jinsheng glared at Lu Chuchen, who shut up in frustration. Mu Jinsheng then turned around with a guilty look on his face and said, "How could you two be a problem? Shi Huai was seriously injured this time, and Zombie City won't cause any more trouble for a while. Now is the safest time. Besides, my wife is pregnant, and she needs a high-level healing psychic like Bingshan to look after her, and a cheerful girl like Jiaojiao to play with. Staying in the Central City would actually be more beneficial for the pregnancy. City Lord Fu, what do you think?"
Shao Leyan bravely looked up and made eye contact with Mu Jinsheng. Thinking of the absurdity and madness of that night, the blood in his body began to boil and his body gradually became hot.
We really can’t keep this central city any longer.
Fu Xingchen looked at Mu Jinsheng suspiciously, and his expression suddenly became serious.
"Thank you for your kindness, but City Lord Mu is still missing. People in the central city are in a panic, so we can't intervene. Besides, Fu Yue and Lin Ying are available in the dungeon to accompany Le Yan, so you can rest assured."
Mu Jinsheng was so anxious that his forehead was sweating and his palms were sticky, but he opened his mouth and couldn't think of a reason to ask Shao Leyan to stay.
Besides, Shao Leyan didn't seem to want to stay in the central city anymore.
Mu Jinsheng smiled and nodded at Fu Xingchen, but her heart was full of bitterness.
After Fu Xingchen and Shao Leyan left, Lu Chuchen also went to busy himself with post-war reconstruction. For a while, only the brother and sister were left in the office.
Mu Jiaojiao looked at her brother who was holding his forehead and sighing, and felt a little sorry for his recent fatigue, but she was powerless to do anything and could only walk behind him and massage his shoulders and neck.
"Brother, you've worked hard these past few days. It would be dangerous for Sister Le Yan to stay. After all, Shi Huai just kidnapped her, and no one can guarantee that it won't happen again."
"Jiaojiao."
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Can you help me make an appointment with Le Yan?"
"ah?"
When Mu Jiaojiao suggested taking Shao Leyan to see the reconstruction of the Rose Garden, she had a premonition.
It was not until she saw a familiar figure again at the place where Shi Huai had stood that she was completely certain.
Mu Jiaojiao: "Sister Le Yan, my brother said he wants to talk to you alone about something."
"I understand, Jiaojiao, go play first, I'll come find you later."
"good."
When Mu Jiaojiao stepped out of the garden gate, Mu Jinsheng could no longer suppress the longing that had accumulated in his heart. He turned around, rushed forward and hugged Shao Leyan tightly.
The forceful kiss went from Shao Leyan's earlobe, cheek, nose tip to lips, moving uncontrollably all the way, leaving no room for negotiation.
Shao Leyan was a little stunned at first, until she reacted and pushed with both hands, but her strength was not enough in Mu Jinsheng's eyes. Once his long arms restrained her, she could not move and could only respond to his passionate kiss.
After a long time, Shao Leyan was too lazy to resist and responded gently instead.
Mu Jinsheng noticed the feedback and his movements became gentler. He held her cheeks with both hands, treating her as carefully and cherishingly as if she were his precious jewel.
Tears flowed down the cheeks and into the mouth where the lips and tongue blended together. The sweetness was mixed with the salty and bitter taste, which went straight to the throat and heart.
Shao Leyan wiped away Mu Jinsheng's half-dried tears with his index finger and said in a sobbing voice: "Just let me go!"
Mu Jinsheng's soft and long tongue wrapped around Shao Leyan's tongue tip and refused to separate.
"But if you leave, when will we meet again?"
"So what if I can't see you?"
"You don't miss me at all?" Mu Jinsheng smiled bitterly. "That's right. You have your husband by your side, so of course you don't have time to miss me."
"I can't give you what you want, you knew that from the beginning."
"But I've fallen in love with you."
"It doesn't matter. You will forget me after a long time."
Mu Jinsheng stared at Shao Leyan's determined expression in disbelief, stopped kissing, and his swollen and wet lips trembled constantly.
"Are you serious?"
Shao Leyan placed his hands on Mu Jinsheng's shoulders and said encouragingly, "Believe me, I've been through this before. Time really will heal everything."
Mu Jinsheng waved away Shao Leyan's hand, turned around decisively, and burst into tears.
"Go away. Let's not meet again. I'll let you go."
Shao Leyan sighed helplessly and turned to leave the garden without any reluctance.
