When Ye Cheng read Ji An’s message, he thought he was reading a fantasy story as well. He had grown up with Mu Chen; no one knew Mu Chen better than he did. If Mu Chen did not realize his wife was a fake, then Mu Chen must be a fake as well. Hence, he only replied with two words to Ji An: I understand.

Ye Cheng did not take the matter to heart. Moreover, he had met Su Tong before and thought she was a stupid woman as well. After so many years, he discovered that most Madams from wealthy families seemed to be lacking brains. Women like Jiang Jin were rare. Perhaps, that was the reason the Mu family was so prosperous. As for someone like Su Tong, she was just a brainless woman.

…

Mu Qing held his phone in a daze. His hands felt cold when he learned that Ye Xin had gone to the Ning family. He really did not expect that brainless Ye Xin would directly find Ning Zhe and found herself a backer.

Mu Qing was so frustrated that he felt as though he was going to throw up blood. It seemed like Ye Xin had spent all her intelligence on this matter and found herself a perfect escape route. With Ning Zhe, even if he abandoned her and Mu Qing divorced her, there was no need for her to be afraid. The Ning family was indeed a suitable escape route for her.

However, despite all Ye Xin’s calculations, she had forgotten to consider a few things. The real Song Ning was adamant about not returning to the Ning family, and the Ning family was not a completely safe place.

The little brat from the Ning family was very ambitious. After all, that little brat even dared to make a move against his father; how could he let go of his sister who went back on her words?

Mu Qing let out a long sigh. Originally, he had thought Ye Xin would be a valuable chess piece. He did not expect her to turn out to become the biggest variable now. He had underestimated Ye Xin’s IQ and EQ.

Alas, there was no turning back now.

Initially, he had planned to give her the cold shoulder and wait for her to come back to him and beg him. Now, it seemed like that would not work.

Mu Qing held his phone, but his fingertips felt cold.

Ye Xin actually went to the Ning family?

She really didn’t expect that ye Xin, that brainless person, would actually think of such a method and directly find Ning Zhe to be her backer.

At this time, Ye Xin was not a chess piece he could give up on. In fact, he had to take very good care of this chess piece, and he could not afford to make any mistake.

In the end, Mu Qing had no choice but to send Ye Xin a message that said: I’ll wait for you at the villa.

His phone remained silent for a long time. There was no reply.

Mu Qing’s eyes darkened before anger burned in his eyes.

…

Ye Xin slept soundly until the sky brightened. She instinctively reached out for her phone to have a look. She immediately sat up in shock when she saw Mu Qing’s message. Her heart was wild with joy.

She rushed out of bed and washed up before she hurried downstairs.

Su Tong, who was going down the stairs, was pushed to the side by Ye Xin from behind and almost fell down. She screamed in fright, “What are you doing?”

Ye Xin ran out without looking back at all.

Su Tong held her hand to her chest, trying to calm down her anger. She really could not endure this any longer.

…

After Ye Xin got into the cab, she threw a few bills at the driver and said, “Drive as fast as you can!”

When she finally arrived outside of the villa, she ran in immediately. She saw Mu Qing sitting on the couch with a chessboard in front of him. He was stroking his chin with one hand and holding a chess piece with his other hand, seemingly focused.

“Sir!” Ye Xin called out tenderly. Then, without waiting for a reply, she threw herself into Mu Qing’s arms.

Crash!

The crystal chess piece fell to the ground and shattered.

Mu Qing let out an “Ouch!” when he caught Ye Xin in his arms.

That one word seemed to hold a trace of a smile, and when Ye Xin picked up on that, she felt her heart calm down immediately. She tightened her hold around him and murmured, “Sir, I miss you so much! I thought you didn’t want me anymore!”

Mu Qing let Ye Xin hug him and patted her twice on the back. He said with a faint smile, “Alright, alright. Let go of me. Otherwise, I’m going to be strangled to death.”

Ye Xin let go of him before she reached out to hold his face and kissed him deeply.

She immediately jumped out of bed, washed up and dressed up, and rushed downstairs..
