Ye Xin shook her head as tears rolled down her face. She reached out and gently wiped them away before she smiled sweetly at Mu Qing and said, “No, I want to drink tea in the future. Coffee and wine are too lowbrow. I want tea…”

Mu Qing put down the towel in his hand and looked at Ye Xin. In the end, he shook his head and said, “You’re too young. Why must you persist? There are many ways to solve a problem; there isn’t only one way…”

Ye Xin looked at Mu Qing with a lonely and hurt expression as she asked, “Do you think I’m unworthy?”

“No, why would I?” Mu Qing quickly said. He thought for a moment, and his tone became even gentler as he said, “Ye Xin, have you really thought about this? Are you sure you want to take this path?”

Ye Xin looked up and asked in return, “Then, have you really thought about it? Are you going to persevere in what you want to do?”

Mu Qing’s expression turned solemn as he nodded.

Ye Xin nodded as well. “If you’re going down this road, then I’m willing to go down this road with you…”

Mu Qing did not speak.

more sincere. “Ye Xin, have you really thought about taking this path?”

Ye Xin looked at Mu Qing. “Before I came, I was still hesitating. However, now, I’m willing to walk on this path with you without looking back…”

Mu Qing’s eyes were filled with shock when he heard these words. He called out softly, “Ye Xin…”

Ye Xin boldly reached out and placed her hand on Mu Qing’s well-defined hand.

Mu Qing looked at Ye Xin with a complex expression on his face.

Ye Xin smiled. This was her most relaxed and sincere smile in a long time.

…

The sunlight shone into the room, and Ye Xin turned around to avoid it. She wanted to continue sleeping.

Mu Qing was right. She was not used to drinking tea so she did not know how bad it was. She could not fall asleep at all the night before.

No, it was not that she could not fall asleep. It was that her brain was in a state of excitement. She dreamed that she was with Mu Chen. No, it was Mu Qing, not Mu Chen.

The father and son’s faces kept alternating in front of her eyes.

Mu Cheng made her sad.

Mu Qing made her feel warm.

During this time, her heart had been broken by everyone around her. The darkness was suffocating. Mu Qing was the ray of light that shone into her life, bringing her heart back to life.

During the time she was in the mental hospital, she came to a realization that other than herself, she could not count on anyone in this world. Everyone was selfish and only thought about themselves.

Her parents only cared about their reputation; they did not care about her. When she first became famous, her parents basked in her glory. When something happened to her, they turned their backs on her, choosing to preserve their reputation. Therefore, they did not even take her away from that miserable place. She was humiliated by that old hag from the Mu family, but her mother did not even say a word to defend her.

As for her brother, he only cared about his career. For his career, he sent his sister to the mental hospital.

No one in the family cared about her life or death. How cruel.

Ye Xin smiled. When she thought about her family at this moment, there were no ripples in her heart. No, wait, those people were not her family, except for her mother. Did they not say she was the illegitimate daughter of the Ning family and that she was Song Ning’s half-sister?

She had seen Ning Zhe on countless occasions. Naturally, she did not know Ning Zhe was her biological father. Moreover, Ning Zhe did not pay any attention to her at all.

She wondered if Ning Zhe knew about her? Or did he not care because she was just a product of an affair?

Ye Xin smiled.

It did not matter. From now on, she would live for herself, and she would not let those made her sad off the hook.
