"What are you reacting so strongly for? Do you know someone in the Xue Family?" He stared at her intently, a hint of coldness flickering in his deep dark eyes.
"I don't... I don't know anyone from the Xue Family!" She turned her head away, feeling guilty, her grip on the bag strap tightening.
In the driver's seat, Mu Tongzi glanced at her lightly. When he saw her dazed expression, his originally calm handsome face suddenly darkened. His deep voice carried a chilling tone: "The heir of the Xue Family, Xue Yiyang, is about to return to the country. You will probably see him soon!"
"..." She turned her head sharply, her eyes flickering with anxiety: "What... what do you mean?"
"I mean exactly what you heard. Xue Yiyang is back, and this drama is going to get more interesting."
One was her current husband, one was her old flame, and another was her current lover. All three men were present, along with a loveless husband.
They say three women make a play; three men on stage can put on an even better show, and the performance is about to begin!
At the red light intersection, he slowly stopped the car, turned around, and gently caressed her pale face with his hand. A teasing smile curled on his sexy lips. "Baby, this show is going to be interesting; just stand by and watch!"
Withdrawing his hand, he started the engine and drove away from the intersection. The increasing speed of the car indicated someone's bad mood at that moment.
The tenderness from a second ago turned into coldness in the next moment, which she found hard to accept. She nervously gripped the handle on the car door and looked at the speeding man, her temples throbbing. She simply couldn't understand why he was angry.
The name Xue Yiyang had become vague for her; she even thought she could bury it in her memories. Yet when she heard that name again, it still caused pain in her heart. Perhaps it was a scar on her heart—though it had healed, it still left a mark.
It wasn't that she didn't want to forget him or that time wasn't long enough; it was just that the hurt ran too deep, penetrating to the core of her being.
The car stopped under her apartment building. Green Qi took a deep breath, patted her chest in relief, and suppressed the nausea caused by the car's speed as she thanked him, "Thank you, Mu Zong, for bringing me back!"
It took her a considerable effort to unbuckle her seatbelt with trembling hands. When she looked up, she met Mu Tongzi's dark and cold eyes. She felt a jolt of fear and instinctively tensed her nerves. Despite this, she held his gaze but couldn't find the words to say.
Remembering that she still had to pick up Jiang Chengmu from the airport later, she initially wanted to inform him but swallowed her words at the last moment. Instead, she simply said lightly, "I'm going up now; drive slowly!"
"What's wrong? Aren't you going to invite me up for a bit?" Mu Tongzi leaned slightly against the seat, his gaze deep and shadowy as he watched her.
"I... I have things to do later. If there's nothing else, you can head back," she replied, feeling a chill run down her spine as she noticed his suddenly darkened eyes. Afraid that he might lose control and harm her, she quickly forced a smile and leaned in to peck his lips. Before Mu Tongzi could react, she hurriedly opened the car door and got out. "I really have things to do; I'll call you later."
Without waiting for him to respond, she quickly shut the door and dashed into the apartment building.
Watching her hurried retreat, Mu Tongzi let out a bitter smile. He sat in the car for a while before finally starting it and driving away.
To tame this heartless and stubborn woman, there was no other way but patience; there was plenty of time ahead, and he wasn't in a hurry.
