Xiao Xin's breath hitched, and she pressed her lips tightly together: "…………………………"
The air fell silent again, and everyone waited to hear what Xiao Xin would say next.
Xiao Xin sensed an inexplicably strange atmosphere. He snatched the hem of his clothes from Fu Yan's hand and explained helplessly, "I'm not you..."
"Take Fu Yan away first." Yu Muqing interrupted Xiao Xin's last sentence at this moment and gave a look to the bodyguard behind Fu Yan.
The bodyguards nodded and said in unison, "Yes."
He reached out to take Fu Yan's hand.
Fu Yan stood still, looking at Xiao Xin with a hurt expression, refusing to budge no matter how the bodyguards tried to pull him.
The bodyguard whispered in his ear, "Young Master Fu..."
Fu Yan acted as if he hadn't heard, his eyes fixed on Xiao Xin, and said coldly, "I'm not leaving, don't pull me away."
Xiao Xin turned her head away, not daring to meet Fu Yan's gaze.
This kid is definitely plotting something dirty to get back at him, just because he unintentionally harmed him...
Fu Yan was injured and stubbornly refused to move. The bodyguards were too afraid to pull him too hard and were sweating profusely with anxiety.
Yu Muqing then reminded Xiao Xin, "Xiao Xin, tell him to leave."
Xiao Xin paused for a moment, then glanced at Yu Muqing uncertainly.
Yu Muqing blinked in acknowledgment.
Xiao Xin understood, glanced at Fu Yan with evasive eyes, and said weakly, "You...you go out first."
He could only do as Yu Muqing said, and whether Fu Yan listened or not was beyond his control.
It would be a miracle if Fu Yan could hear it.
Sure enough, half a minute later, Fu Yan was still standing there with a cold face, locked in a stalemate with the bodyguard.
Xiao Xin was sweating profusely with anxiety. She glanced at Fu Yan with a puzzled look and urged him with her eyes: Let's go!
Fu Yan seemed to understand the meaning in Xiao Xin's eyes, and his expression softened: "I can go out first, but my brother will come to find me later."
Xiao Xin rolled her eyes at him in her heart, but still smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll come find you later."
Fu Yan nodded in satisfaction, turned and left with the bodyguard. When he reached the door, he turned back and looked at Xiao Xin with concern: "Brother, you must come to find me later. I will wait for you."
Xiao Xin was so embarrassed that he gripped the ground with his toes, and goosebumps covered his skin.
He nodded frantically in Fu Yan's direction, thinking to himself, "I'd better get out of here quickly, sir, or I'll die!"
Fu Yan saw him nod, turned and left the room, and the bodyguard closed the door behind him.
Yu Muqing leaned against the desk, pinched the bridge of her nose, and glanced at the doctor and manager next to her: "You two can go out first."
The doctor didn't mind and readily agreed.
The manager stood still, hesitating.
Yu Muqing looked up at him in confusion: "What?"
The manager glanced at Yu Muqing with evasive eyes: "Boss, please don't be violent anymore, Xiao Xin has it tough too..."
Yu Muqing chuckled: "I know."
The manager nodded, walked towards the door, and glanced at Xiao Xin with concern as he passed by.
Xiao Xin winked at him casually, as if to say with her eyes: Don't worry, it's okay.
The manager then opened the door and went out.
The room suddenly felt much emptier with only Yu Muqing and Xiao Xin left.
Xiao Xin also breathed a sigh of relief.
He wasn't afraid of Yu Muqing hitting him, so he didn't feel any pressure being alone with Yu Muqing.
Yu Muqing got up, walked to the window, opened it, took out a cigarette from her pocket, lit it, took a puff, and then turned to look at Xiao Xin: "What should we do now?"
Upon hearing this, he immediately felt somewhat foolish.
Even those close to Fu Yan don't know what to do, so how could anyone else possibly have an answer?
Xiao Xin glanced at Yu Muqing's profile, which was shrouded in smoke, and his craving for a cigarette kicked in.
He walked up to Yu Muqing and unceremoniously reached out his hand: "Give me one too."
Yu Muqing smiled and tossed the cigarette pack to him: "Take it yourself..."
Xiao Xin lit the cigarette deftly and returned it and the lighter to Yu Muqing.
The two men were smoking by the small window, and the dim lighting made them look rather dejected.
After a long silence, Xiao Xin suddenly spoke: "I'm sorry..."
He let Fu Yan bear this pain for him.
He knew he had hurt Fu Yan and also broken Yu Muqing's heart.
After all, Yu Muqing was so good to him...
Yu Muqing shook her head: "It's no use talking about this now."
He paused, then asked, "You really don't know who did this?"
Xiao Xin hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell Yu Muqing the truth: "That group of people came for me, but I really didn't know they would do anything to Fu Yan..."
“Okay,” Yu Muqing interrupted him, “I understand.”
He roughly understood what Xiao Xin meant; Fu Yan had brought trouble upon himself.
If it weren't for my good fortune, I might have been...
Thinking of this, Yu Muqing felt a lump in her throat and swallowed the spiciness of the cigarette.
He spoke with a choked voice, saying to Xiao Xin, "Before Xiao Yan regains her memory, this matter must not be known to my uncle."
Xiao Xin nodded: "Okay."
As if remembering something, Yu Muqing added, "Judging from Xiao Yan's expression, it seems he only listens to you."
Xiao Xin exhaled a puff of smoke but didn't reply. He always suspected that Fu Yan was faking it, but he had no proof...
“You should take care of Xiao Yan for now, until he regains his memory…” Yu Muqing said.
"..."
Xiao Xin's hand holding the cigarette trembled, and he hesitated.
Seeing his hesitant expression, Yu Muqing knew what he was worried about and said, "You don't need to worry about the money. I will pay you your salary as usual. As for Xiao Yan, I will send him to A University. You only need to take care of his daily life."
