Chapter 685: Radiant and Vivacious
After Elder Xie left, Xu Ye whispered, "Junior Sister... Although I don't want to believe that Junior Sister is in trouble, the facts are before us, and we must learn to face reality."
Xiao Muzhen lowered his eyes, his eyes full of determination.
"As long as the body is not found, I think she is still alive."
Xu Ye wanted to say something, but seeing Xiao Muzhen's stubborn look, he said nothing, shook his head and left.
Shi Yiheng looked at Xiao Muzhen, his eyes full of worry, "Zhenzhen, don't be sad. When my leg is healed, I will look for her with you. We will definitely find Yunling!"
Xiao Muzhen forced a smile and said, "Okay."
"Okay, you've been tired all day, go and rest."
"I'm not tired. I'll take you back first, then I'll go pack up the herbs and rest."
Shi Yiheng was silent for a while, but finally nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll help you collect the herbs."
“No, you…”
Before he could finish his words, Shi Yiheng interrupted him: "Okay, it's decided. I don't feel comfortable leaving you alone."
After the two of them packed up the herbs together, Xiao Muzhen sent Shi Yiheng back to the room and prepared to leave.
However, as soon as she turned around, Shi Yiheng suddenly grabbed her hand.
"Zhenzhen..."
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Muzhen subconsciously pulled her hand away. Seeing the disappointment on Shi Yiheng's face, she paused and whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm still not used to the sudden intimacy."
Shi Yiheng gave a bitter smile, but said comfortingly: "It's okay, we will have plenty of time in the future, but I don't want you to be so defensive against me all the time."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the room fell into silence.
After more than ten seconds, Xiao Muzhen finally spoke: "Let's talk about our affairs later, okay? Yunling hasn't been found yet, and the car accident hasn't been concluded yet."
"So, you still don't believe me and think the car accident had something to do with me, right?"
Xiao Muzhen frowned, "That's not what I meant. I just want to find out the truth. It will be good for both you and me."
"Oh!"
Shi Yiheng looked at her with a mocking expression, "Don't you ever wish at some point that I was the one who planned the car accident, so that you could leave me without any psychological burden and return to Huo Yunting's arms, right?"
Xiao Muzhen's expression turned cold, and he looked at her with disbelief.
"Is this who I am in your eyes?"
"I don't want to think so, but your behavior forces me to think so."
Xiao Muzhen took a deep breath and said slowly: "I don't want to discuss this issue now, nor do I want to argue with you. You should have a good rest."
"What if I absolutely need an answer today?"
"Okay, then I'll tell you, even if I break up with you, I won't be with the male lead again. Are you satisfied?"
Meeting Xiao Muzhen's cold eyes, Shi Yiheng's eyes flashed with guilt, "Zhenzhen, I'm sorry, I'm really too afraid of losing you, so I became so anxious and aggressive. I hate myself for being like this."
Xiao Muzhen did not accept his apology and did not say anything else.
"Go to bed early, good night."
After saying that, she turned and left.
However, she did not notice that Shi Yiheng, who had been staring at her back, had gradually turned cold in his eyes.
Shi Yiheng felt unwilling and angry. Why did he give so much to Xiao Muzhen, but she never devoted her heart to him wholeheartedly?
Even though they are engaged now, he still feels far away from Xiao Muzhen.
After returning to the bedroom, Xiao Muzhen washed up and lay on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep.
Now she was a little unsure how to deal with her relationship with Shi Yiheng, but she was very clear that she only felt gratitude towards Shi Yiheng, not love.
She had originally planned to be with Shi Yiheng, but that video has always bothered her.
Perhaps, only when the answer is revealed can she decide where their relationship should go.
As I thought about it, my eyelids gradually drooped.
Half asleep and half awake, Xiao Muzhen suddenly woke up.
She subconsciously reached out to touch her phone, but when she didn't find it, she remembered that she accidentally dropped her phone and broke it while looking for Yunling.
She had been planning to buy a new cell phone when she left Licheng, but the dream she had just had was so real, so real that even after she woke up, she still felt a little scared.
She got up and left the bedroom, quickly walked to Xu Ye's door and knocked.
"Brother, are you asleep? I have something urgent to talk to you about."
"What's going on?"
Xu Ye got up and opened the door, his eyes full of sleepiness.
"Can you lend me your phone? I want to make a call."
Xu Ye was speechless, "Just for this?"
He handed the phone to Xiao Muzhen and wanted to complain, but frowned when he saw Xiao Muzhen's pale face.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Xiao Muzhen quickly dialed the number and shook her head, "No, I just had a nightmare and was a little worried, so I wanted to call to confirm."
The call was quickly connected. "Zhenzhen, what's wrong? You're calling me so late at night."
"Mom, are you and Dad okay lately?"
Xun Zi was stunned for a moment, then said unhappily, "What could be the matter? You woke me up in the middle of the night just to ask this?"
Hearing this, Xiao Muzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad you're okay. I should be back in a few days."
"Well, that's it for now."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Muzhen handed the phone to Xu Ye.
"I'm sorry, Brother, to wake you up so late."
"Okay, as long as nothing happens, go to bed early."
Xiao Muzhen nodded, "Yeah."
On the other side, after hanging up the phone, Xun Zi was just about to put down the phone when another call came in.
Seeing that it was Xiao Tuo's secretary, she had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, as soon as the call was connected, a somewhat panicked voice came from the other end.
"Madam, please come to the First Hospital immediately. Mr. Xiao just fainted."
When Xun Zi rushed to the hospital, Xiao Tuo was still in the operating room, and his secretary and Xiao Zhuan were waiting at the door.
Seeing Xun Zi, Xiao Zhuan frowned, "Mom, why are you here?"
"I heard your dad suddenly fainted. What happened?"
Xiao Zhuan's face was a little serious. "The doctor said it was a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and he's in surgery now."
Hearing this, Xun Zi's body couldn't help but tremble, and he took two steps back before standing firm.
"How could this happen? Your father's annual physical examinations showed no problems, so how could he suddenly have a cerebral hemorrhage?"
Xiao Zhuan was silent for a while, then slowly said, "It's probably because of the company's recent negative news."
Xiao Tuo had been keeping the company's affairs secret from Xun Zi recently, fearing that she would start to overthink things. At this moment, Xun Zi's face was filled with confusion.
"Company business? What's that?"
