He instinctively took a half step back, as if his most hidden sore spot had been touched, and his voice was tinged with panic: "What did you say... what feelings?"
Cheng Muyun suddenly smiled, a smile tinged with helplessness, but more so with understanding: "Someone as dazzling and radiant as Zhuohua, I love her to the core, so naturally I can see how others look at her. What is appreciation, what is admiration, what is unconcealed affection... Your gaze is too obvious, Chen Hede, it's hard for me to ignore it."
Chen Hede's face turned deathly pale in an instant, with an unnatural bluish tinge, like a spilled palette of colors.
He always thought he had hidden it very well; those thoughts he dared not speak aloud, those subtle expressions of concern he showed in the shadows, were secrets unknown to anyone.
However, she did not expect that her thoughts would be so thoroughly exposed in front of Cheng Muyun, leaving her no room for concealment whatsoever.
"I..." Chen Hede wanted to explain something, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say anything.
Cheng Muyun's face showed no anger, but rather a calm demeanor.
Chen Hede explained, "I never thought of taking her away. Even after that fire, I never intended to keep it from you forever."
Cheng Muyun smiled and said, "I know you're not that kind of person. You were the one who revealed that Zhuohua was still alive when I least wanted to live. So you're not a bad person. I can entrust Zhuohua to you with peace of mind."
Chen Hede realized that Cheng Muyun's actions were no different from entrusting his son to someone else, and a nameless anger welled up in his heart.
“Cheng Muyun! Xu Zhuohua values you more than her own life. You’d better not get into any trouble, or I won’t help you. You can die if you want, and I won’t care about Xu Zhuohua. Besides, you know that when Xu Zhuohua gets stubborn, no one can control her.”
Cheng Muyun ignored Chen Hede's words and said to himself, "I will make arrangements to transfer all my assets to your name. Zhuohua is actually very easy to take care of. She is not picky about food, not spoiled, and does not like to spend money recklessly. If she occasionally takes a fancy to something new, just let her play with it. Anyway, my money is enough for her to spend for several lifetimes."
Chen Hede grabbed Cheng Muyun by the collar. "Cheng Muyun! Do you think I'm interested in your money? I can still afford to provide whatever Xu Zhuohua wants!"
Cheng Muyun smiled and nodded, "I know, I'm entrusting Zhuohua to you."
Chen Hede's fingers tightened, his eyes blazing with fury. "Cheng Muyun! You'd better find a way to kill Lan Qingyi, or I'll despise you for the rest of my life!"
I'll take that as a yes.
"I did not agree!"
Cheng Muyun smiled, pried Chen Hede's fingers apart, took two steps back, and said with tears in her eyes, "By the way, we shouldn't meet anymore, lest Lan Qingyi finds out that you're hooking up with me, which would be bad for you. I'll contact you after I have a plan."
Chen Hede turned and left angrily, saying, "I don't want to see you again, and I don't want to get involved in your affairs. Cheng Muyun, you're a complete idiot!"
