nHis words were harsh yet helpless.

nYet, when the words left his mouth, both of their hearts… ached.

nSu Yue pursed her lips, shaking her head. “It’s not awkward. You’re still Uncle Ming.”

nShe forced a smile.

nMing Ansheng’s lips curled upwards and he nodded. “That’s good.”

nHis voice was hoarse, her words like sharp knives that pierced his heart.

nSu Yue said nothing further. She gazed out the window.

nIn the ward, when he had calmed down, Ming Ansheng said, “Have a good rest. I’ll phone your third brother and third sister-in-law to check their location.”

nThen he stood up and walked to the door, taking out his phone.

nA selfish thought crossed his mind: not to tell them her whereabouts.

nWhen she was in his arms just now, the thought of bringing her away and hiding her from the world even crossed his mind.

nSu Yue watched him leave, gritting her teeth. Her tears betrayed her by rolling down her face.

n‘Silly girl, you’re the one that I like…’

nUncle Ming liked her, and she liked him back.

nShe was a mistress. She was really a mistress now. Tang Feiling was right—she had seduced Uncle Ming unintentionally.

n‘Su Yue, if Uncle Ming calls off his marriage with Tang Feiling, you’re a mistress. You’re a mistress…’

nAlthough she was on painkillers, her heart still ached.

nBut she didn’t know if the pain was physical or emotional.

n“Yueyue.”

nThe ward door was pushed open and Xuxu rushed in.

nSu Yue retracted her thoughts and looked at the door. She smiled. “Third sister-in-law.”

nThey had applied medication on her wound, and she was in her hospital clothes, so Xuxu couldn’t see the wound on her chest. Her heart ached at the sight of Su Yue’s swollen cheeks.

n“You scared me to death.” Xuxu sat down by her bed and caressed her face gently.

nTang Feiling had slapped her real hard yesterday, so the handprint on her cheek was still clear as day.

nXuxu gritted her teeth when she saw it. If Ming Ansheng hadn’t already disfigured Tang Feiling’s face, she would’ve slapped her a hundred times over.

nBut it shocked her when she heard that Ming Ansheng had disfigured Tang Feiling’s face with a red hot metal rod.

nOf course, it was outrageous that Tang Feiling had kidnapped Yueyue and even abused her, but to think Ming Ansheng had retaliated so wildly.

nA thought flashed through her mind and her face paled. She anxiously lifted the covers off Su Yue and asked, “Yueyue, are you hurt anywhere else?”

nTang Feiling was rash and brainless. What did she do to Yueyue in the span of a night?

nWhat did she do that made Ming Ansheng retaliate so unmercifully?

n‘Could she have…?’

nThe more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

nSu Yue saw through her. Xuxu still didn’t know about her chest wound. She was afraid that Xuxu would be heartbroken, so she smiled and shook her head. “There’s nowhere else.”

n“Yueyue.”

nXuxu noticed something unusual on Su Yue’s chest under Su Yue’s thin hospital clothes.

nSu Yue saw her gaze and hurriedly covered herself with the blanket with a smile. “I’m fine. There’s really nothing else.”

nBut of course, she couldn’t get past Xuxu. “Yueyue, let me have a look.”

nXuxu flipped off the covers forcefully and unbuttoned Su Yue’s clothes.
