The thought that he almost lost Momo by just two minutes that day, and that anxious, dark feeling, had already consumed his reason.
And there were some underhanded things the Mo family did in between, which he naturally wouldn't let Momo know!
Because he knew that his darling was neither a weak person nor a cruel and cold-blooded one!
"I will never let them get away with this so easily. I will make them suffer terribly to atone for your brother's sins!"
Her words were so calm, yet they sent a chill down the spines of those around her. Her eyes, filled with a mad, tender gaze, seemed utterly monstrous.
They couldn't even bear to look at the delicate and pretty girl; how could she dare to be with someone like him?
Aren't you afraid that you'll suddenly wake up one night and he'll strangle you?
"Brother! Brother!" Mo Xiaoqing cried uncontrollably, her hands tightly gripping Ji Muhan's clothes.
"Ji Muhan, you liar! Why did you lie to me? My brother hasn't been found yet, he's still missing!"
"...I can't bear to see you cry, I don't want to see you sad!"
Without hesitation, Mo Xiaoqing pushed him away with tremendous force. "Don't explain anymore. I don't want to hear your explanation. You all kept it from me and didn't tell me. Do you think I would never know?"
Caught off guard, Ji Muhan was pushed away more than a dozen times, feeling disbelief and hurt.
“Mo Mo…”
Mo Xiaoqing felt a pang of pain in her heart, but she simply couldn't face her brother whenever she thought about him.
"Ji Muhan, you have disappointed me so much. You promised me that you would rescue my brother and that he would be safe. You promised me, why didn't you do it!"
Mo Xiaoqing knew in her heart that she was being unreasonable and nitpicking, but she had no other choice.
Her heart was aching terribly, as if a piece of her heart had been ripped out. She needed an outlet!
Ji Muhan gripped Mo Xiaoqing's wrist tightly. "The doctor said you can't be too agitated. You fainted last time because of angina. You can't be so emotional lately!"
"None of these are reasons, you know? That's my brother, the brother who has pampered and spoiled me since I was little, the brother who will stand up for me without saying a word if anyone bullies me!"
How could you…
How could I keep it from her? How could I not tell her?
"elder brother…"
She hadn't lost her composure like this the moment she heard the news of her brother's death, but seeing Ji Muhan made her eyes well up with tears, which flowed like a burst dam.
Ji Muhan's eyes were filled with heartache, and without hesitation, she hugged her tightly with both hands.
He felt heartbroken, "If you're feeling sad, just cry it out!"
There's no need to put on a brave face in front of him.
"Hanhan, my brother is really gone, I..."
Mo Xiaoqing couldn't continue speaking at this point. Tears blurred her vision, and she buried her face deeply in Ji Muhan's chest. She didn't even care about Ji Muhan's germaphobia and let her tears drip onto his shirt.
"Hanhan, I don't have a brother anymore..." Mo Xiaoqing said this while tightly gripping his chest and clothes with her two small hands.
She seemed to be a particularly insecure child, afraid that he would abandon her and leave.
She cried so bitterly, gasping for breath, heartbroken, as if she were the only person left in the world, helpless and in pain…
She was like a child who could never find her way home, crying uncontrollably…
Ji Muhan felt a dull pain in her heart, but without hesitation, she covered Momo's small hand with her own. "No matter what, you still have me!"
The little girl seemed to have cried herself to sleep. He gently lifted Mo Xiaoqing's face from his chest and patiently wiped away the tear stains on her face with his fingertips.
Mo Xiaoqing still clutched his shirt tightly, unconsciously murmuring, "Brother..."
Ji Muhan paused for a moment, and hearing her unconsciously utter those two words, she felt a pang of heartache, a dull pain shooting through her heart.
He tightened his arms around her, and his lips gently touched her forehead, then pulled away.
He said in a deep voice, "No matter what happens in the future, I will always be by your side."
So, there's no need to worry...
