48 COME WITH ME AND I WILL PUT YOU IN GOOD USE (1/2)

Mu Lingxi took a glimpse back to the Mu clan's residence. She will be lying to herself if she would say that her heart did not ache for this kind of departure.

Somehow, even she just met them not too long ago, she still has some attachment towards them. Especially to the clan head, she treated Mu Ruochen as her own grandfather.

There is also the sick looking maid Yanyan.

”It saddens me to think that I can't bring her with me,” Mu Lingxi said as she started to walk away.

Janus could feel how heartbroken Mu Lingxi was. He tries to chat at her to ease the heavy feeling but the little girl becomes quite melancholic as they walk farther, away from her supposed home.

Her sorrow was not unfounded. After all, she thought that for the first time, she will finally got to know how it feels to have a family she could call her own. Yet before she could enjoy it, reality slaps her hard.

She learned the harsh truth, in a hard way. In this world, you better not trust anyone aside from yourself. Lest you get yourself betrayed by the one you trust the most.

Avoid expectation as much as you can. Because the more you expect, the more you get disappointed.

Just like what happens to her now, it was like she was given a taste of love from a family. One of the things that she really craved for.

She was given hope when she was at her most vulnerable state. Then it was taken away from her when she was starting to learn to depend on it.

The night was dark, for the moon was young and the stars were asleep and rare. The clouds were thick and it does not help to lighten up the ambiance but it rather painted everything blue.

They continue to move forward but as if fate is not yet contented, a heavy downpour of rain precipitated soaking the bustling city wet.

Many ran at the sidewalk to look for shelter, and so are the main character and her pet cat, Janus

The good thing is that, not too far away from where they took shelter, they saw a busy tavern packed with people.

On its chimney, one can see an emission of thin smoke as if an inanimate signboard, waving to the customer to come in. The savory smell permeated the air. As soon as Mu Lingxi and Janus got a whiff of the smell, their stomach growl in unison.
