Chapter 356: Home (2/2)

”Why don't you move in with me?” he suddenly suggested. ”We are going to work against Feng family so who knows what kind of danger might be coming your way. Stay with me so at least I can keep you safe.”

Xinghe shook her head. ”That won't be necessary, I'll be fine.”

”But…”

”I will reconsider if such a need arises.”

Mubai smiled. ”Okay.”

He was glad because at least she didn't completely reject him. For some reason, he found himself unable to resist her demands. He probably would kill himself if she ever asked him to…

His car quickly arrived at Purple Jade Villa.

When Xinghe was getting out of the car, Mubai pulled on her arm. ”You worked very hard last night so go and rest well. Don't trouble yourself with anything just yet.”

Xinghe nodded. ”I know.”

Mubai's eyes shook and eventually pulled her in for a hug before letting her go reluctantly. ”Alright, take care. Give me a call if you need anything.”

Xinghe nodded slightly before getting down. She walked to the front door and knocked.

The one who opened the door was Chengwu. He was almost in tears when he saw Xinghe. ”Xinghe, why did you return so suddenly without telling uncle first? I would have prepared something to welcome you. How are you feeling? How's your body? Have you recovered?”

Chengwu fussed over her so much that Xinghe was at a loss as to how to respond. She could hear the engine of Mubai's car still idling so she pulled Chengwu and said, ”Uncle, let's go in first.”

”Okay!” Chengwu finally spotted Mubai. He nodded at him awkwardly in way of a greeting.
