On the way back.
Rong Shang held the dagger, lost in thought.
Probably only she, besides Mu Chen himself, knew that the tires of the car behind them had blown out.
While the car was moving, he was able to puncture the other person's tires with this small knife; the force and speed with which he did this were truly beyond the capabilities of an ordinary person.
"What’s wrong with you?"
She remained silent with a cold expression throughout, and the man had already sensed that something was wrong.
But he waited until they got home and were going upstairs before he held her hand.
After a pause, Rong Shang turned around, her expression indifferent. "It's nothing."
He handed the knife back, saying, "It's yours."
Mu Chen glanced down and took it.
"I'm sorry to have startled you."
Although he knew that this little incident meant nothing to her.
"..." Without saying a word, Rong Shang suddenly turned around, lowered her eyes, and looked deeply into his eyes.
It was as if they wanted to peer into his heart through his eyes.
But there wasn't any, not even a little bit.
"What are you thinking about?" she couldn't help but ask.
The man's eyes widened in surprise. "What?"
"Is there anything on your mind?"
Sometimes I am genuinely curious.
I don't know if it's because he's truly without desires, or if her superpowers have completely failed him.
If it fails, she wants to know why it didn't work before.
However, they were ultimately unable to get any information out of him.
Rong Shang changed her tune and said she was fine before going upstairs to take a shower.
Before long, the old lady came to the door with a bowl of hot milk and waited.
Mu Chen came out when he heard the noise. As soon as he opened the door, the old lady saw the injury on his face and her expression changed. She immediately asked in a panic, "Chen, what happened to your face?"
"It's nothing." Not wanting to mention it at all, Mu Chen took the milk from the old lady's hand and turned to go into the room.
With a bang, the door slammed shut.
The old lady was so angry she couldn't speak, only cursing, "You brat!"
...
"Is that Grandma?"
Inside the room, as soon as Mu Chen entered, Rong Shang had already come out of the bathroom.
Then she heard the old lady's voice. Rong Shang walked to the door and prepared to open it to let her in.
Unexpectedly, the man reached out and intercepted her halfway.
"It's getting late, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Look at her, she seems a little tired.
Taking the towel from her hand, Mu Chen shoved the milk cup into her hand and began to dry her hair.
"You drink first, and go to sleep after your hair dries."
"Mu Chen".
"What?"
"Do you know who those people are?" Rong Shang suddenly asked while drinking her milk.
The man answered without hesitation, "I don't know."
"Really?" Although she didn't know what he was thinking, Rong Chang just felt that he was lying.
"You have enemies?"
"..."
You're not going to tell me, are you?
Rong Shang smiled casually and said, "If you really have enemies chasing you, then let's get a divorce, so you won't be a burden to us."
Well.
The unexpected words made Mu Chen pause in his act of drying his hair.
He glanced down at her and asked, "Divorce?"
"Don't even think about it!"
"Oh, so that's why you've been so nice to me lately. You were just trying to use me as a shield." Rong Shang deliberately made up a lie with a straight face. "I knew it. It turns out you were being hunted down by your enemies. You were pretending to be all lovey-dovey with me so that they would think that capturing me was like capturing your weakness."
call.
Helplessly, a sigh came from above as Rong Shang spoke.
