135 Try Telling Her
Bei Shuo suddenly understood. âSo, they want to come to our house and stand on the same side as the Mu family to pressure you so that you wonât make things difficult for them?â
Wasnât this train of thought a little too strange?
Mu Ci frowned. âIâm afraid not. They never begged me, which means that they have other motives.â
âThey have other motives?â Bei Shuo muttered.
!!
Mu Ci thought about it and decided not to hide it from Bei Shuo. âBei Le broke up with her boyfriend. Gu Ming knew that Bei Le had another man.â
âAnother man?â Bei Shuo was shocked.
âDidnât she grow up with Gu Ming? The Gu Family and the Bei Family were engaged before they were born. Back then, when I went back, Bei Le was very worried that I would snatch her engagement becauseââ Bei Shuo was the one who was betrothed before she was born.
âThe reason why she actively instigated my parents to marry me into the Mu Family was mainly because she was afraid that I would get in the way of her and Gu Ming. I heard from the servants at home that she will be engaged to Gu Ming when she turns 20 this year. The Gu Family values her very much and Gu Ming is very obedient to her. Why would she have another man?â
Mu Ci played with Bei Shuoâs hair and slowly told her about his encounter with Gu Ming at the clubhouse.
âThat clubhouse is the Mu Familyâs property. Mu En has a few fixed rooms there. Gu Ming guarded downstairs for the entire night. Bei Le did spend the night there. However, Gu Ming didnât see who Bei Le was with. He only heard from the rumors that it was Mu Enâs haremâ¦â
Bei Shuo sat up straight in shock. âYou mean Bei Le and Mu En?â
Mu Ci looked at her and hesitated. âThereâs no concrete evidence. Itâs just that Bei Le must have another man.â
Bei Shuo found it unbelievable. She muttered, âWhatâs going on? What a mess.â
Mu Ci pinched Bei Shuoâs round earlobe. âSo, many things arenât as simple as they seem.â
Bei Shuo nodded subconsciously. âJust like Dr. Li. Heâs a well-loved teacher, but he tampered with your condition. I only have a feeling and no evidence.â
Mu Ci reached out and hooked her neck, pulling her closer to him. While she was distracted, he kissed her on the cheek.
Bei Shuo didnât dodge. Instead, she hugged him and buried her head in the crook of his neck. âBrother, the people outside are too complicated. I donât like them!â
Mu Ci was speechless. She reached out and patted her back gently to comfort her.
A moment later, Bei Shuo let go of Mu Ci and sat up straight. âBrother, what should we do now?â
Bei Shuo was a strong grass!
Mu Ci felt both heartache and relief.
He looked at Bei Shuo. âIâm sorry. Iâm the one who caused you to fall into such a complicated situation. Iâ¦â
Bei Shuo covered his mouth and smiled. âBrother, what are you talking about? Weâre husband and wife. Why do you need to say sorry? We should help each other! Protect each other! Letâs deal with those bad people together!â
Mu Ci held her hand and kissed her palm.
Bei Shuo was ticklish. She laughed and retracted her hand.
Mu Ci sighed softly. âYou have been protected by your master and senior brothers since you were young. Now that youâre by my side, I want to give you the same protection as them and let you be carefree. But from the first day, youâve been working hard for me. It makes me feel very sorry for you.â
Bei Shuo feigned anger. âAlright, donât say such things again. Youâre not allowed to say such things in the future! Master and Senior Brothers wonât protect me forever. Donât think that way. I donât like conniving people and the environment, but I canât run away either! I have to face what I have to face. How can I be on guard against them forever? Donât you think so?â
Mu Ci couldnât help but sigh in his heart. What did he do to deserve such a good girl?
He had to cherish her.
He nodded lightly. âAlright, then weâll face it together.â
âHmm, thatâs more like it. Then tell me how we should deal with the ladies downstairs.â Bei Shuo was in high spirits.
She didnât cause trouble and didnât like to be nosy, but she wasnât afraid of trouble and didnât hide from it. Once she decided to do it, she would face it with 100% seriousness.
The more Mu Ci knew about Bei Shuo, the more he liked her and felt comforted by her.
âBei Shuo, I donât want to chase them away. I want to see what theyâre up to,â Mu Ci said honestly.
