Chapter 606 (2/2)

It’s none of my goddamn business, to begin with. You eat what you sow.

Tang Xiu also glared back to retaliate at her once in a while as well as suppressed his temper and forced himself to finish the meal. After seeing that his Grandma was about to pull Mu Wanying to chat again, he hurriedly made an excuse and said that Mu Wanying still had things to tend to this evening, and took her quickly to leave the Tang Family’s residence.

Huff… Tang Xiu heaved a deep sigh of relief the moment they stepped out of the residence’s entrance.

“I’m sorry!” Mu Wanying’s expression was a bit complex as she softly spoke with her head down.

Tang Xiu looked at her face and secretly sighed inside. He couldn’t blame Mu Wanying at all. Let alone that today’s incident was in fact not her fault, but everything was because of Tang Ying.

“Forget it, you don’t need to worry.” Tang Xiu waved his hand and then spoke after they got in the car. “It’s getting late. I’ll send you back home.”

“All right.” Mu Wanying nodded gently.

Oriental Rose Garden, a high-class residential complex in Beijing.

Following Mu Wanying’s guidance, Tang Xiu stopped the car in the underground garage. Instead of rushing to talk, he opened the window and lit a cigarette. He took two deep puffs before speaking, “Wanying, my situation is quite complicated, for I was once badly scarred and wounded by this very sentiment in the past. I never thought neither do I have the intention to start a new relationship until this scar is healed completely. What occurred between us is just a strange combination of circumstances that happened to turn into this situation, and I’m sorry if this matter has an impact on your reputation.”

Mu Wanying was shaken inside. Despite having suspected that Tang Xiu had been plagued by sentimental problems in the past, to think that he was really that hurt was out of her imagination. She really couldn’t figure out what blind woman had the heart to hurt such an outstanding man.

“Tang Xiu, it’s I who must say sorry. If it wasn’t because of me, today won’t be…”

Tang Xiu waved his hand and said, “It’s all right. What you did back then is nothing to be said against. It’s understandable since we are a couple, albeit a fake one. Since they have misconstrued it, then let them misunderstand it. If anything, I haven’t considered to ever involve myself in feelings, affections, and sentiments for the next few years. In case that you also don’t want to fall in love for the time being, then let us continue act this way. Don’t let others’ misunderstanding disturb us.”

Mu Wanying’s was bit loss as she replied, “Okay.”

Her expression wasn’t noticed by Tang Xiu as he continued, “What happened today is bound to be spread out and be heard by your family. If they ask you and you want to explain it, then please do. If you don’t want to, then call me. I know that the news that we are lovers will inevitably affect your reputation. If you still haven’t found the right man a few years later while you and I are also still single, then we’ll carry on to tie the marriage, and that’s it.”

Gazing at Tang Xiu for a long while without speaking, Mu Wanying then firmly said, “Then I’ll marry you if you haven’t yet married at that time.”

“What?” Tang Xiu was taken aback.

“Despite knowing nothing about who hurt you so deeply, I’m willing to heal the wound in your heart with the love I have for you. And I believe I can do it,” said Mu Wanying softly.

“You…” Tang Xiu was struck dumb and tongue-tied.

Mu Wanying forced out a bitter smile and said, “I couldn’t do anything about it since I feel that I’ve already fallen in love with you. I originally wanted to act with restraint and reserve it as much as possible and let you speak out what you have in your heart first. But I’m afraid… I’m afraid that I’ll never be able to wait, since waiting is not even an option. You’re too outstanding, and there are so many remarkable girls around you as well. As a matter of fact, I have already explained to your grandmother that us being a couple is nothing but a fake relationship. But she…”

Tang Xiu was silent.

If only Xue Qingcheng didn’t exist, if only he didn’t experience the life in the Immortal World for 10,000 years, he would have been attracted by Mu Wanying and even fall in love with her. But now, the wound in his heart made him afraid, constraining him to not to want to pour out his feeling too prematurely. He had never thought about feelings and affections so seriously in the past, yet at present, it was a must.

However, just as he began to think about it, he felt somewhat depressed. First of all, it went without saying that there was Han Qingwu, Xue Qingcheng from his previous life, and Ouyang Lulu, who was trying to pursue him desperately. And then there was Kang Xia, whom he had given his body to. He was already at his wit’s end, and now Mu Wanying was added to the line. For a moment, Tang Xiu’s mind was disconcerted as his thoughts whirled about.

“Anyways, I’m going back. I need to rest early.”

As the second cigarette was burned through, he then turned to look at Mu Wanying.

Mu Wanying hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Would you like to go up? I live alone here!”

“No.” Tang Xiu shook his head. “I’m going back to Star City tonight since there are some things in the Magnificent Tang Corporation I need to tend to.”

“All right. Pay attention to your safety on the way there.” Mu Wanying nodded silently, yet her face was dark and gloomy.
