Shen Xinglan froze, turning back to look at her with some surprise.
What did she say? She actually mentioned divorce?
In such a pleasant atmosphere?
If Mu Wanting said she wanted a divorce during an argument, he could still think it was just something she said in anger.
But now, they didn't argue. They were just shopping when Mu Wanting casually mentioned divorce.
That only proves that Mu Wanting has always been thinking about divorce.
Even if what she meant was that whether or not to divorce was up to him, the jewelry she was wearing clearly indicated that she wanted to distance herself from him.
He was expressionless, but Mu Wanting knew him so well that she naturally knew he was angry.
In the past, when she was pursuing him, he was always like this, angry with a blank expression.
After she gave him something, he would return it without hesitation and say something to her in annoyance.
"Miss Mu, please don't send any more. I could never like you."
Mu Wanting was heartbroken at the time, but she always felt that if she tried harder, Shen Xinglan would fall in love with her, and that there would always be a day when she could win him over.
So she did her best to find out his preferences, and all the gifts she gave him were handmade by herself.
At first, he refused to accept it, but after she forcefully stuffed it into his hands, she would always find her carefully crafted gifts in the trash can.
If it were an ordinary woman, she would probably have given up in shame and anger by now.
But she, because she was taught by her mother from a young age, should be purposeful in doing things and never give up until she achieves her goal. No matter how difficult the task, she would never give up halfway.
So she didn't give up.
That's why Shen Xinglan disliked him so much and hurt him so badly.
Of course, once she completely gives up on something, then she really gives up.
Liking Shen Xinglan was the first thing she gave up on halfway through.
So why was Shen Xinglan angry at this moment? She didn't understand. She had gone along with his wishes and divorced him. Shouldn't he be happy?
Let's go.
Shen Xinglan walked ahead with a cold face, forming a one-meter vacuum bag around her.
He had only walked a short distance when he stopped and stood still, glancing at Mu Wanting out of the corner of his eye.
Watching Mu Wanting drift further and further away from him, he felt extremely irritated.
Mu Wanting strolled leisurely through the streets, not caring at all whether she had gotten separated from Shen Xinglan. She bought whatever she wanted, regardless of where Shen Xinglan was.
She bought too much stuff, especially food.
Just then, a dark figure darted past Mu Wanting and snatched several bags containing pastries from her.
Mu Wanting was taken aback. Such agile skills?
She took off after him, but the little beggar ran faster and faster. Mu Wanting had no choice but to use her lightness skill, but the boy was too agile and knew the place too well.
There were a few times when he almost managed to shake me off.
When they arrived at a certain place, Mu Wanting could no longer see him, so she guessed that he must be nearby.
This area is full of slums, the environment is terrible, and there is a stench everywhere. If you are not careful, you may step in excrement.
The little thief hid very well; Mu Wanting searched for a long time but couldn't find him.
If she hadn't seen the trail of footprints on the ground, she would have lost track of him.
Mu Wanting walked to a small, dilapidated wooden house and heard very soft sounds coming from inside.
"Little sister, eat some quickly. Your brother brought you your favorite osmanthus cake, from Su Ji's."
But no little girl's voice came from inside.
Mu Wanting walked into the house. The beggar in the house looked up at her. Underneath his disheveled hair were a pair of fierce eyes, his eyes red-rimmed, as if he was about to pounce on her at any moment.
At the same time, he shielded his sister, who was so thin she was just a skeleton and had no color in her skin, and whose fate was unknown, behind him.
Mu Wanting said, "If you don't let go, your sister will die."
She thought a lot along the way.
First, she held a wallet, expensive jewelry, and pastries in her hands.
However, the beggar clearly had the opportunity to steal the money bag, but he only stole the pastries, which proves that he encountered a life-or-death situation and that he was of decent character.
Then, upon seeing the little girl's thin and frail appearance, her heart was pierced with pain.
“I’m a doctor, I can save her.”
The little beggar didn't believe it and stared at Mu Wanting with wide eyes.
Mu Wanting said, "She can't eat anything anymore. Are you just going to watch your sister die?"
The little beggar pursed his lips and remained silent before finally putting his sister down.
This little girl was incredibly thin; she was only breathing faintly.
Mu Wanting gave her glucose to drink, and then performed acupuncture on several acupoints to promote intestinal absorption.
Then, the little girl slowly opened her eyes, and the little beggar's eyes were full of smiles. He immediately hugged the little girl.
He handed a piece of osmanthus cake to the little girl.
"Little sister, eat up."
The little girl's hands, thin as chopsticks, caught the osmanthus cake and were about to put it in her mouth.
Mu Wanting hurriedly said, "Put it down, you can't eat it. You haven't eaten for a long time, and you won't be able to digest it."
The little beggar frowned, his eyes reddened, and his voice unconsciously grew louder.
"If she doesn't eat, she'll die!"
Mu Wanting said, "Believe me, she has been hungry for so long, it takes time for her to eat."
The little beggar hesitated, but the little girl's eyes were already unfocused. She wanted to stuff the osmanthus cake into her mouth as soon as she saw it, so he eventually took the osmanthus cake away.
Mu Wanting said, "As for you, if you're hungry, you can eat meat buns, but only half a bun. Eating too many might make you choke to death."
After a pause, he saw that the little beggar still looked wary, his eyes fixed on the osmanthus cake, looking extremely hungry.
Actually, he wasn't much better off than his sister; he was just physically stronger, which is why he didn't collapse.
They are all pitiful children, without parents to take care of them.
Her tone softened, and she handed over a bowl of glucose.
"Drink this, and eat half a steamed bun in half an hour. Then you can gradually resume your regular diet."
The little beggar took the glucose, glanced at her again like a wolf, and then picked up the glucose and took a sip.
It's so sweet!
He drank it all in no time.
After finishing his drink, he sat down with his younger sister in his arms, his eyes still wary.
Mu Wanting left behind the easily digestible food, gave instructions on how to eat each day, and then left.
The little beggar was like a wolf cub; she had saved them and didn't want to get too entangled with them anymore.
After walking a short distance, I heard footsteps behind me.
Mu Wanting turned her head and saw the little beggar carrying her sister on his back, following behind her at a distance that was neither too close nor too far. His eyes still looked like those of a wolf cub.
Mu Wanting then realized that he was actually quite tall, but frighteningly thin, with not an ounce of flesh on his body, only his eyes were incredibly bright.
Mu Wanting raised an eyebrow. What did this little beggar mean?
But she couldn't be bothered with it; although the little beggar was agile, he was no match for her.
