After Ye Xin told Mu Qing everything she knew about Zhuang Ji, Mu Qing gave her detailed tasks and taught her how to do them step by step.
Ye Xin understood everything he told her quickly.
Mu Qing taught her well, and Ye Xin happily learned from him.
At this point, Ye Xin had grown obsessed with Mu Qing. Although he treated her gently, he always maintained his bottom line.
Ye Xin asked, aggrieved, “Is there something wrong with me? Why aren’t you interested in me at all?”
Ye Xin had always been blunt, hence, she was like this in her relationship as well.
In the past, she loved Mu Chen so much. However, in hindsight, Mu Chen had never even pretended to show interest in her at all. It was all her wishful thinking. The person whom she fell in love with was just a projection of what she wanted, and what she had loved was love itself.
However, she thought Mu Qing was different. Mu Qing’s face resembled Mu Chen, but he was mature, steady, and gentle. He satisfied all her criteria in regard to men. Most importantly, his face allowed her to immerse in the feelings of her first love. For all these reasons, she fell hopelessly in love with Mu Qing and was completely devoted to him.
The current her was no longer a celebrity. She had experienced the extreme lows of life. Currently, she had thrown her past away. She only wanted to pursue what she wanted, whether it was a person or an object.
She wanted to obtain Mu Chen in the past because she saw Mu Chen as prey. She wanted the sense of accomplishment a hunter would get when they caught their prey. It did not matter to her now that she did not have Mu Chen because she had Mu Qing.
However, she could not help but feel very insecure because Mu Qing treated her too politely. It made her feel a sense of alienation.
Mu Qing looked at her affectionately and reached out to pat her head before he said with a smile, “Silly girl, what’s the rush? We have the future ahead of us. You’re still so young so I don’t want you to make such impulsive decisions. After all, I’m an old man now. I’m the same age as your father.”
Ye Xin said, annoyed, “Love transcends age! I love you, and that’s that.”
Mu Qing smiled dotingly. “Alright, alright.”
Ye Xin hugged Mu Qing’s arm, pouting.
Mu Qing patted her hand gently and said, “Let’s wait until we deal with this matter. Take this time to think things through. I’ll always be waiting for you so there’s no need for you to rush. No matter what decision you make, I’ll respect it.”
Ye Xin leaned against him. “I don’t need to think things through. I’ve already made my choice. I want to be you. Apart from you, I don’t want anyone else. You’re the only one who treats me sincerely in this entire world.”
A hint of sadness welled up in Ye Xin’s heart when she said this.
Mu Qing said, “Don’t be sad. Moreover, you haven’t gone to see Ning Zhe yet. He dotes on Song Ning a lot.”
Ye Xin frowned and said angrily, “I hate her!”
Mu Qing put his arm around her shoulders and said, “If you hate her so much, then you should snatch the things that belong to her and make them yours…”
Ye Xin did not respond. She lay lazily in Mu Qing’s arms.
…
Liang Zhou stood in front of the binoculars and quietly watched the scene in the villa across the street. She could not hear their conversations but she could clearly see their expressions and actions.
The couple was really intimate.
Liang Zhou suddenly felt nauseous when she looked at Mu Qing wrapping his arm around Ye Xin’s shoulders. She spun around and rushed out, looking for the bathroom.
She pushed open one door after another before she finally found the bathroom. She kneeled in front of the toilet and began to throw up.
She was disgusted. Even if that woman was not Song Ning, that woman had the face of his daughter-in-law. How could he do such a thing? How dirty was his heart that he was capable of such an act?
Liang Zhou’s stomach churned, and she vomited again.
