Just when she had completely lost hope, she suddenly felt the man on top of her stop. She opened her eyes and saw Mu Yijie looking at her with a complicated expression in his eyes. There was pain, despair, and...
Before she could clearly discern all his emotions, the man got up immediately, grabbed his coat, and walked out.
Leaving behind a sentence, "Let's break up."
This single sentence sent her into an ice cellar.
Yong Shanling wrapped the quilt around herself with trembling hands and curled up like a baby. She didn't know how things had come to this.
"Why? Why do we have to break up?"
They had been together because they truly loved each other. Could it be that just because she had gained a bit of merit from being with him, it was wrong and they couldn't be together anymore?
Yong Shanling simply couldn't understand Mu Yijie's thoughts. She knew she always saw things simply, so she couldn't comprehend the pure kind of love that Mu Yijie pursued.
It was precisely because his expectations of her were so high that when he discovered the slightest flaw in their relationship, he couldn't bear it.
Clearly, when they first got together, she had told him that being his bodyguard and helping him catch demons was entirely out of her own free will.
How could it suddenly become that she had deliberately approached him?!
Moreover, when they first got together, they both clearly liked each other. Even at the beginning, she hadn't clearly understood her own feelings and only thought she had a strange possessiveness towards him. But when she finally agreed to be with Shushu, she knew her own heart.
She had been with him because she loved him.
So what on earth was he angry about?
Yong Shanling hid alone in the quilt, crying and resentfully thinking. Finally, she came to the conclusion that Shushu must have gotten tired of her after being with her and now wanted to break up with her.
Thinking of this, she got even angrier. She never thought Shushu would be such a person.
The little girl hid alone in the quilt. The more she daydreamed, the angrier she got, really worked up. Finally, she suddenly sat up and gritted her teeth, saying, "Stupid Shushu, stupid Mu Yijie. Didn't you say I had an ulterior motive for approaching you and that I didn't really like you? Then I'll just leave."
She got out of bed, randomly grabbed a few clothes from the closet, put them on, picked up her storage bag, and flew away directly through the window.
Mu Yijie, standing on the balcony, seemed to sense something and looked towards Yong Shanling's room. A flash of impulse crossed his eyes. He wanted to rush over and pull her back, but the words Yong Shanling had said during their argument just now flashed through his mind again.
He forcibly held back his impulse and watched helplessly as Yong Shanling's figure got farther and farther away.
He reached out and clutched his chest. "Why does my heart hurt so much?"
He stood on the balcony, letting the wind blow on him all night.
At dawn, before the servants got up, he drove a car away at full speed.
"What's going on so early in the morning? Why is he in such a hurry to go out?" the butler stood in the garden and muttered curiously. The next second, he put all his thoughts into decorating the house. After all, the master and mistress would be coming back soon, and he must tidy up the house properly.
The early - morning Huai City was like a beautiful woman just waking up. The dim light shone on this beautiful city, adding more luster to it.
On the almost empty road, a Maybach sped by like a black behemoth, quickly shuttling through the city.
In the driver's seat, a man with a disheveled appearance was expressionlessly turning the steering wheel.
He didn't know what he was doing. He just subconsciously shuttled through the whole city, constantly patrolling the streets as if looking for something. Maybe he was just looking for something that could make him feel better.
However, his heart refused to admit what he was really looking for.
Just like the emperor in "The Emperor's New Clothes", he was reluctant to admit the real truth until the very end.
"Squeal—" The black Maybach stopped by the road. The decadent man inside got out and stood there dejectedly.
"Ling'er, what should I do with you?" he said with a bitter smile. He had clearly come out to relax, but as he drove on the road, his eyes couldn't help but scan the crowd, looking for that figure that made his heart flutter.
No matter how reluctant he was to admit it, his actions couldn't deceive his heart.
Just as he was in a daze, the number of trees around him suddenly increased. He keenly sensed something. The formerly decadent look on his face gradually turned solemn, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
He mobilized his spiritual energy and turned to run. However, after running only a few steps, he was blocked by the surrounding trees and tied up tightly.
"Damn it! What little demon are you? Let me go quickly, or I won't let you off." Mu Yijie's eyes were gloomy, and his voice seemed to carry ice, full of killing intent.
"Haha... Won't let me off? Now it's a question of who won't let who off. You'd better beg me nicely. Maybe I'll spare your life." A voice that was neither clearly male nor female came from all directions. Then he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck and lost consciousness.
Before losing consciousness, he thought with a bitter smile that he had only been separated from Ling'er for one night, and now he had fallen into the hands of a demon. He was really useless.
At that moment, his heart was filled with a sense of frustration.
On the other side, Yong Shanling ran out angrily. In the forest, she flew around recklessly like a drunk driver. It was only after a long while that she calmed down.
But even after calming down, she still thought she was right. So she decided not to go home. She was going to find her Sister Hua'er. Sister Hua'er was so powerful and would surely be able to help her.
So she directly broke into Li Zhuo's house. She flew into Hou Hua's room and threw herself onto the bed, crying loudly, "Sister Hou Hua'er, help me! Shushu doesn't want me anymore. He wants to break up with me..."
While crying, she told Hou Hua what had happened that night. It was as if she had found her mother's embrace and was venting all her grievances wantonly.
A crisp "click" sound rang out, and the light in the room suddenly came on. "Hey, little Ling'er. It's the middle of the night. Why aren't you snuggling up with your Shushu and instead come to my place?" a teasing voice came from the door.
Yong Shanling looked up and saw Hou Hua leaning against the door. She said blankly, "It's still early in the morning. Why aren't you sleeping in your own room? Why did you get up so early?"
She felt the quilt in her arms and only then realized there was no one in it. And she hadn't even noticed at all but had just kept crying.
