Chapter 329

Chapter 329 I Am Sorry for What I Did To You in the Past

Lu Jinye wanted to drive back to his home, but Mu Zhi insisted that she wanted to go home. In the end,

Lu Jinye instructed a driver to send Mu Zhi back to Xie Xiu’s house.

Mu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief when the car drove safely into the Xie Residence. She was glad that

they were finally home. After returning home, Eric seemed to be fine. He behaved as if nothing bad had

happened and went straight to his room to play video games.

All the thoughts and secrets laden on Mu Zhi’s shoulder, and everything seemed suspicious to her.

Why did Rao Xue kidnap them again? Was the purpose of kidnapping to tip Xie Xiu off?

Mu Zhi went into the bathroom to take a bath.

Being immersed in the warm water, Mu Zhi felt more at ease.

When she came out from the bath, Xie Xiu had already returned home, and he had lit up a soothing

fragrance in the room.

Mu Zhi looked at Xie Xiu. In an instant, Xie Xiu pulled Mu Zhi into his arms, and then murmured in her

ear, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know about the incident. I was just informed. I’m so sorry, terribly sorry…”

Xie Xiu held Mu Zhi tightly in his arms, but Mu Zhi did not respond to his hug.

She waited for Xie Xiu to let go of her then only did she say, “It’s okay. I’m okay.”

Xie Xiu said in a glorified manner, “It’s all my fault. I didn’t protect you. It’s all on me.”

“It’s okay. It’s all over.”

Mu Zhi interrupted him. She did not blame Xie Xiu at all.

She wanted to let it be bygone. She did not even think of asking Xie Xiu how exactly he knew.

Mu Zhi was restless. She did not know what she had to do next.

So, she sat there unconsciously.

“It must have been a shock to you.”

Xie Xiu said again. As soon as he finished speaking, a housekeeper came into the room with a bowl of

soup. “Sir, the soup you ordered is ready.”

Xie Xiu motioned the housekeeper to place the soup, nodded at her, and said, “Okay. You may go and

rest.”

The housekeeper then left.

“The soup is specially prepared for you to warm your body. I think you need it.”

Xie Xiu picked up the soup and walked towards Mu Zhi.

Only then did Mu Zhi sniff and set it aside. She did not intend to taste the soup.

She did not say a word.

Xie Xiu then passed the soup to Mu Zhi’s side and said, “Drink some.”

Mu Zhi took over the soup and looked up at Xie Xiu. At that moment, she finally accepted the soup Xie

Xiu handed over.

She took a sip of the soup. When the soup warmed her stomach, she energized.

Mu Zhi suddenly recalled and told Xie Xiu, “The kidnapper was Rao Xue. She asked me to give you

this thing.”

With that said, Mu Zhi hurriedly walked to the clothes hanger and found the dress she was wearing

when she was kidnapped.

When she showed Xie Xiu the model Rao Xue had given her, Xie Xiu’s expression suddenly changed.

But it returned to normal in an instant.

“What does this mean?”

“I once took Rao Xue to this building. We had a memory there.”

When Xie Xiu looked at Mu Zhi, he no longer wanted to hide the truth. But some things were not meant

to be said.

Things were getting out of hand.

“Rao Xue told me she called you, but you refused to save Eric and chose to let her kill him.”

“Is that true?”

When Mu Zhi recovered from the life-threatening incident, she remembered everything that had

happened.

When confronting Xie Xiu, all her attention was on him.

But as soon as the sentence was spoken, Xie Xiu exclaimed, “That’s monkey business!”

“If Rao Xue had called me, then I wouldn’t show up at our house now when you have already been

saved.”

“Ann, do you know? When I was informed about what had happened, I was distraught. I blamed

myself. I’m afraid.”

“I’m so afraid of losing you.”

Xie Xiu suddenly showed a pained expression.

“Ann, you are everything to me. I cherish you like I cherish my own life.”

Mu Zhi looked at Xie Xiu. She did not know what to say next.

Xie Xiu was a good actor by nature, so when Xie Xiu told Mu Zhi these, Mu Zhi could not tell if he was

genuine.

She could only stare at Xie Xiu blankly.

After staring for a long time, she asked, “Then can you tell me everything about Rao Xue?”

“I can’t assure you, but I don’t want to be kept in the dark. Why did Rao Xue kidnap me? Why did she

send letters written with blood? Why…I don’t have the faintest idea about everything that had

happened.”

“Even more so… I don’t even think you are being genuine now. It’s as if I don’t know you at all.”

When she said that, Mu Zhi could not control her emotion and was on the verge of breaking down.

Mu Zhi did not know why she reacted like that.

When Lu Jinye told her to confront Xie Xiu, she wanted to do so calmly.

In the past, when Xie Xiu explained the matter ambiguously, Mu Zhi would believe in him. She would

even choose not to let him explain more because she did not want Xie Xiu to worry too much.

But this time, she could not hold back anymore.

Maybe Mu Zhi’s life was threatened, so she was afraid.

Mu Zhi thought to herself.

Xie Xiu looked at Mu Zhi. Seeing how confused she was, he frowned and took a deep breath. He then

said to Mu Zhi, “You know my identity and my past. It’s complicated. I’m very passive and involuntary in

many things, and I’m often restrained. However, in the future, I will do my best to protect you and never

let any harm come to you.”

“I know. But this time, I don’t want any promises. I want to hear about Rao Xue’s past. Tell me. Was she

a rift in our relationship?”

Mu Zhi took the initiative to ask the question.

She hinted that even if she had no memory of the past, she could guess that Rao Xue and Xie Xiu had

a history, and Xie Xiu chose to hide it because of her amnesia.

Xie Xiu gazed at Mu Zhi.

Staring at Mu Zhi… Xie Xiu did not know how much Mu Zhi had known about his past, but he knew that

his top priority was to calm Mu Zhi.

Therefore, Xie Xiu calmly thought for a few seconds before telling Mu Zhi anything.

“About Rao Xue, it was my fault. I’m sorry for what I did to you in the past.”

When Mu Zhi heard these words, she felt a sense of calmness.
