Mu Nanxun is back.
Xia Bingqing, who had been so arrogant just moments before, immediately became obedient, looking wronged like a victim, and pitifully jogged a few steps to Mu Nanxun.
"Brother Xun, you're finally back! You have no idea how much the servants at home have been in an uproar."
Mu Nanxun's gaze gently passed over Xia Bingqing and landed on Yi Yi behind her.
Yi Yi was tense all over, her lips pursed, like a rooster with its feathers standing on end.
Why are you so angry?
Several clear finger marks on her fair right cheek instantly caught Mu Nanxun's eye.
Ignoring Xia Bingqing's eager gaze, Mu Nanxun walked straight towards Yi Yi. For every step he took closer, she took a step back, as if a cold distance had suddenly separated them.
"What happened? Who hit him?"
His question was pointless. Yi turned her head away, refusing to look at him or answer his question.
Xia Bingqing slapped her, and she pushed Xia Bingqing back. They were even, and neither owed the other anything.
"Brother Xun~" Xia Bingqing didn't expect that Mu Nanxun's first words upon returning would be about that vixen, so she couldn't help but follow him and call out to him.
He probably doesn't know that this little bitch stole his things.
Upon hearing her voice, Mu Nanxun's cold gaze shot towards Xia Bingqing like a sharp arrow.
Did you hit him?
The voice seemed to emanate from underground, filled with a dangerous aura. The dark eyes were like three feet of ice, sending chills down one's spine.
Xia Bingqing couldn't help but shiver. Her Xun-gege had never looked at her like that before, nor spoken to her in such a stern tone.
“Brother Xun, listen to me,” Xia Bingqing said boldly, pointing at Yi Yi, “This thieving servant stole your things, look, it’s this phone. Me too, I hit her because I was angry. Keeping servants like this around is a disaster, Brother Xun, you mustn’t…”
“She’s not a servant.” Mu Nanxun interrupted her without hesitation, his tall figure blocking Yi Yi’s path. Xia Bingqing was so startled that she abruptly withdrew her outstretched finger.
"Also, I gave her the phone."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Xia Bingqing's eyes widened, staring at him in disbelief.
"Brother Xun, what... what did you say?"
"I said, I gave her the phone," Mu Nanxun repeated. He suppressed his anger; if it weren't for the fact that she was a woman and had saved his life in the jungle, he would have attacked her!
"..."
Xia Bingqing was completely stunned and kept shaking her head.
How could this be? She was Mu Nanxun's childhood sweetheart, and also his fiancée. He had refused her requests to use the same phone as him several times. Now he was telling her that he had given another woman the same phone as him!
The man she loved most ignored her feelings and used the same phone as another woman.
"I don't believe you, Brother Xun, you're lying to me, aren't you? She clearly stole this phone. Are you saying this on purpose to protect her? Brother Xun, don't be fooled by this slut, she's approaching you for a reason..."
"Enough!" Mu Nanxun interrupted coldly. Although he didn't like Xia Bingqing before, he at least thought she was a well-bred and understanding lady. Only today did he realize that she also had such an unreasonable and shrewish side.
"You're supposed to be the daughter of the Xia family, yet you keep calling her a 'slut.' Where has your manners gone?!"
