Chapter 513: 154 because I’m afraid something will happen to you!_1

"Go take a shower first!"

He pulled out clothes from the wardrobe and tossed them into her arms; his pitch-black eyes were devoid of any tenderness when they met hers.

Qin Mu reflexively clutched the super slippery pajamas and looked up at him, "You surely already know the truth behind that day’s events, don’t you?"

"Go take a shower first!"

Even though she directly expressed her desire to know, Mu Yichen still insisted she take a shower first.

"Can a shower wash away what happened that night?"

She asked stubbornly.

"Take a shower first, we’ll talk after! Do you need me to help you?"

His voice was low, as if he were desperately restraining his temper.

Qin Mu knew him well; when his stubbornness flared up, no one could convince him otherwise, so she held the pajamas and went to the bathroom.

Mu Yichen stood there with his head lowered and his hands on his waist. The drooping eyelashes concealed his eye expressions, making it impossible for others to guess what he really was thinking.

Qin Mu took her shower inside, feeling the tepid water cascade over her from head to toe, soaking her completely. Yet, the only thing she wanted to know was one single matter.

Yang Qianxi drove Jing Qing’s car to run errands for her. It made no sense to Qin Mu. If Jing Qing and Yang Qianxi had planned the whole thing from the start, why would Jing Qing sabotage her own car to harm Yang Qianxi? To prevent Yang Qianxi from divulging their secrets?

Qin Mu walked out of the bathroom in a state of agitation after her shower, only to be immediately embraced by him.

In reality, he was wrapping a towel around her hair. He was helping her dry it.

"Sit on the couch, I’ll dry your hair for you!"

He commanded her in a deep voice, and Qin Mu obediently went to sit down.

She guessed he wanted to quietly let things pass, as if nothing ever happened.

But she thought he should be clearer than anyone, that neither of them was the type to pretend as if a real event was merely a dream.

How could they brush aside an event that had truly taken place right in front of their eyes?

The hairdryer’s gentle breeze caressed her long hair. In the warmth of his hands, her hair was gradually warmed and dried.

Besides the sound made by the hairdryer, there was silence in the room at this moment.

She sat there with a straight back, and he stood beside her, seemingly intent on drying every single strand of her hair.

Hair can be dried completely, but how can one act as if things that happened never really did?

The fact is, they cannot!

So both pretended to be calm, suppressing the restlessness within their hearts.

Both of them were afraid to just let it end, yet remembering the scene when they met that morning...

After drying her hair, he took the hairdryer back to its place in the washroom, as if to ensure she wouldn’t struggle to find it the next evening.

He returned to sit at the edge of the bed, silent for a long while across from her. Then he crossed his arms and touched his nose bridge before speaking in a low voice, "Just now, you asked if I knew the details about what happened that day. I can now tell you, yes, I know!"

Qin Mu simply looked up at him curiously without asking further.

"These people will all get what’s coming to them. When the time comes, I will then explain the details to you slowly. For now, you just need to take good care of yourself and the pregnancy, okay?"

His dark eyes fixed on her, he walked over and crouched beneath her gaze, looking at her intently, his eyes offering solace.

Qin Mu couldn’t help but smile slightly, "Wang Mingyu came to see me today, he said he was very sorry."

"He must have also said he’d take responsibility for you, right?"

Mu Yichen grasped her hand a little more tightly, his alert eyes immediately catching the emotions in hers.

Qin Mu smiled faintly, "Yes!"

"He also came to see me. He probably knows nothing, unwittingly caught up in our ordeals," said Mu Yichen, unable to suppress a wicked smile!

"But he still deserves to die!"

Yet, that last sentence was shockingly cold!

Qin Mu looked down at his suddenly merciless expression and couldn’t help but shiver internally.

"Go to sleep now! We’ll deal with the rest after I’ve made sure those responsible have faced their karma."

After speaking, Mu Yichen stood up and picked her up from the couch.

Qin Mu’s hands reflexively encircled his neck, her eyes intently on him, her heart managing all the emotions trying to surge forth.

As Mu Yichen put her down, his eyes, no longer capable of hiding their deep affection, looked at her. Qin Mu looked up at him, the suddenly intense gaze causing her heart to flutter, and inexplicably, her eyes grew a little blurry.

"Why did you come out looking for me that night?"
