Translator: Sissy That Walk
âWhat do you mean, Su Liancheng, what has he been doing?â
âYou go have a look yourself!â Su Liancheng hurried Luo Qianqian.
Su Liancheng would steal a glance at Murong Yun inside the room from now and then, to his surprise, Murong Yun just sat in his chair, motionless, like a block of petrified wood. He left his wound unattended and most of the blood in his palm had already clotted with some deep cuts oozing out blood.

âSister-in-law, I know I can be really nosy sometimes, but what has happened between you two? Iâve never seen him like this before, he isnât able to control himself at all, I mean the wound on his hand⦠â¦â
âWound on his hand? Is he injured?â Luo Qianqian asked with concern, âIs it serious?â
Su Liancheng nodded then he shook his head promptly, âItâs not but it is, I donât know, you go have a look yourself. He looks devastated. Sister-in-law, I donât know what has happened between you two, but I do you are the only one who is in his heart, quite frankly, the only one who ha been in his heart. Please donât break his heart! Sister-in-law, can you please tell me what has happened?â
Luo Qianqian shook her hear and told Su Liancheng about the bet.
âHow would I know he would appear and hear everything? It was just a harmless bet, I knew I would win of course, plus I really need Yue Qiqiâs help on investigating that man, I only agreed to bet with her when I knew I would win. And guess what, I won!â
Su Lianchengâs first reaction was, âWhat? Someone did a sneak attack on you? Are you injured?â
Luo Qianqian did a Dumbbell Concentration Curl in the air to flex her muscle, âWhat do you think the answer will be?â
âIâm glad you arenât hurt.â Su Liancheng heaved a sigh of relief, âBut sister-in-law, Iâm not being partial here, I think you are in the wrong this time.â
Luo Qianqian wanted to talk back but she wasnât able to utter a word, âAm I really in the wrong?â
This was Luo Qianqianâs first relationship as well, she admitted she had a lot to learn, to work on, and she needed to figure out a better way to communicate.
âSu Liancheng, do you care to explain it to me a bit further? The thing is I am confident in my horsemanship, I wouldnât lose, plus I could gain help from Yue Qiqi after the bet, I consider it as a one stone, two birds situation.â
Su Liancheng thought for a while, then he came up with the perfect explanation.
âLetâs put it this way, what will you feel if Brother Eighth uses you as a wager? Will you be happy?â
Luo Qianqian replied in earnest, âYeah, why not? I donât find it improper or anything, maybe Iâll have the slightest harsh feeling, but itâs negligible. I know no way will he accept the bet if he isnât confident. So overall, I think itâs fine.â
Su Liancheng frowned, âhmm, I need to change a new perspective.â
Su Liancheng took a deep breath and continued, âSister-in-law, this isnât about how confident you are, itâs about your attitude, itâs about how you see Brother Eighth. You clearly have used Brother Eighth as a wager, right? Like an object. Of course it would hurt Brother Eighthâs feelings, and it hurt him even more when he saw how you handled it after you saw him.â
Luo Qianqian was choked.
âWhatâs more, it you had chased Brother Eighth when he turned away, Iâm sure he wound not have got so mad at you. You could have chased him and explained the whole thing on the spot, you know, let him know you care about him more than anything in the world. But unfortunately, you didnât chase him and you didnât bother to explain yourself, of course he would misunderstand you and think you donât value him!â
Luo Qianqian found that made perfect sense, but she was too stubborn and reluctant to admit mistakes, âI guess I wasnât really thinking, I just thought maybe we both could use some time to cool down.â
âSister-in-law, you have a lot to learn.â Su Liancheng shook his head resignedly, he felt sorry for his Brother Eighth.
âWhat Su Liancheng says is a whole lot like what Yue Qiqi has told me, I guess Iâm really in the wrong.â
âSister-in-law, please open the door and talk to Brother Eighth. I gotta excuse myself.â
Luo Qianqian took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
There wasnât candlelight in the room, she could only see Murong Yun sitting by the table by the silver moonlight.
Luo Qianqian walked to him in the dark and wrapped her arms around his lower back, she could feel Murong Yun has stiffened immediately.
âMurong Yun, I am so sorry.â
Silence.
Luo Qianqian walked in front of Murong Yun and nestled in his arms, she stroked his chest, âIâm so sorry, that was very inconsiderate and wrong of me to use you as a wager, and I should have chased you and explained the whole thing to you. Itâs just I have confidence in my horsemanship, and I can get some help on investing a case, an extra advantage, why not?â
Silence.
Luo Qianqian didnât take the silence well, she panicked.
âMurong Yun, I promise you it will never happen again. Su Liancheng is right, I shouldnât have treated you like an object, please say something.â
âPlease get out.â Murong Yun said with indifference.
Hearing that, Luo Qianqian wanted to throw a tantrum, but she changed her mind immediately thinking about she was here to apologize.
All of a sudden, the smell of blood wafted along by the breeze.
Luo Qianqian lighted up a candle in a hurry, what met her eyes was Murong Yunâs injured right palm, it was full of blood and bloodstains. Luo Qianqianâs heart broken on seeing that.
âWhy did you do this to yourself?â
Murong Yun hid his palm behind his back, âIâm fine, please leave me alone.â
âNo way will I leave you alone.â Luo Qianqian said in a domineering manner, âGive me your hand.â
Murong Yun didnât move, Luo Qianqian grabbed his hand and checked the wound, âI must owe you big time in my last life.â
She cleaned Murong Yunâs wound and started to apply ointment, âIt might hurt a little bit, but I promise you I will be gentle.â
âMurong Yun, are you a fool? How could you do this to yourself?â
Seeing the girl in front of him, Murong Yunâs heart softened.
