"Xue was very tired in those days. She fell asleep in the living room, and then I brought her a quilt. I saw the medical book on the table that I hadn't finished, so I took it and continued to read. But I fell asleep unknowingly when I was reading in the middle of the night. We didn't do what you think we did." Zhang Linli anxiously explained. Although he wanted to directly claim that it was all because of his personal feelings, he was more worried that he would make Shangguan Mo misunderstand Murong Xue even more.

Recalling that they hugged each other that day, Shangguan Mo still felt furious. "Well, even if this is my misunderstanding, then why were you hugging in the hospital? And what were you guys doing in the amusement park?"

Why were they hugging in the hospital? What were they doing in the amusement park? Zhang Linli's expression changed. He didn't believe that Shangguan Mo would send someone to follow them, which meant that someone deliberately used this matter to alienate them. No wonder Shangguan Mo would be so furious. "Mo, don't you believe us? You'd rather believe what outsiders say. How on earth do you know this? I'm telling you those are not true..." He had to know who was behind this. Otherwise, Murong Xue would be in serious danger in the future.

"It's not the truth? When I left, I let you take good care of Xue. That's how you take care of her. Don't you feel sorry for me?" When Shangguan Mo thought that he was betrayed by the best friend that he grew up together, apart from being irritated, he felt more distressed. He treated Zhang Linli even better than his own brother, Shangguan Lin. He didn't expect that...

Zhang Linli was sorry. He even despised himself for having a crush on Murong Xue. But he didn't do anything that hurt Shangguan Mo. "I have a clear conscience. If you do anything to Xue, you will regret it. Xue is innocent. Why did I hold her in the hospital that day? It's all because of you!"

Was it because of him? Shangguan Mo found it ridiculous. Did he let them hold each other? Was he insane? Or did he hit his head? "You have no excuse to find, don't you? Because of me? What a joke!"

"It is really because of you. Did you forget how Xue hit her head? It's you who pushed her! Xue was extremely upset that day because of you. I helped her change the medicine and mentioned that you would go to Country C. She cried. I just let her lean on my shoulder."

Shangguan Mo was startled and remembered that he accidentally hurt Murong Xue. If everything was just his misunderstanding, then he actually treated Murong Xue that way. He recalled that Murong Xue looked at him with hatred. "Then why do you share the same room in the hotel? I checked. You clearly got two rooms, but you only lived in one room. Tell me why you did that?" He asked loudly in disbelief!

"That day? Who was it? So vicious!" Zhang Linli thought. "Mo, maybe you will think that I am looking for an excuse. But I'm telling you. I was going to learn acupuncture from Xue that day, and then I passed out with a high fever. Xue couldn't lift me, so I just slept in the living room of the hotel, but we didn't do anything. You know my obsession with medicine. This time, I also went there to learn acupuncture from Xue. We didn't do anything as you think. You have completely misunderstood..." Zhang Linli said. Although he did have feelings for Murong Xue, Murong Xue didn't feel the same way. Zhang Linli hoped that Shangguan Mo didn't hurt Murong Xue that night.

Shangguan Mo was holding his cell phone, stupefied. He couldn't hear what Zhang Linli said later on. Something kept repeating in his mind... It was a misunderstanding... All this was a misunderstanding.

There was another person who felt uneasy ― Bai Xueli. She received the news when Zhang Linli was injured and sent back to his family's hospital the day before. She knew that it was definitely because of Shangguan Mo, and she thought that Murong Xue would not end well. Thinking that Shangguan Mo was going to come back to her, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep last night. However, she actually received the news that Shangguan Mo brought that cheap woman back home today. That b*tch was also seriously injured. But even so, Shangguan Mo didn't give up on her.

How was that possible? Shangguan Mo was not someone who would compromise. With his character, he should torture that woman to death and then even destroy her family together. How could Shangguan Mo allow the doctor to give her treatment?

Bai Xueli thought to herself, "D*mn, Murong Xue, what kind of spell did you cast over Mo?"

After listening to Zhang Linli's call, Shangguan Mo remembered the blood Murong Xue left on the bed after he had sex with her that night. There was also a block when he got inside her body. It seemed that it was really a misunderstanding. He hurriedly ordered Ye Liu to find out everything about Murong Xue in recent days.

An hour later, he took the investigation report handed to him by Ye Liu. After reading it quickly, he collapsed in a chair. He misunderstood Murong Xue.

He rushed back to the villa quickly but stopped as he approached the room. He suddenly didn’t dare to see her. He was afraid to see the hatred in her eyes.

The doctor said that she should not be stimulated now. Maybe he should come back later. Just as he wanted to go back, there was a voice behind him that made him unable to go away. "Prince, what are you doing standing at the door? Princess has woken up and is expecting you!" Ms. Lin just came and wanted to have a look at Murong Xue. When she saw the aloof Prince, she wanted to say something. Princess was pitiful. Her face was as white as a sheet. Ms. Lin hoped what she said could make Shangguan Mo feel better and no longer torture the poor Princess.

Was she expecting him? She might expect him to die. He knew that Murong Xue hated him at this moment. How would she want to see him? However, he couldn't stop worrying about her, so he walked into the room.

Murong Xue lying on the bed closed her eyes after hearing the sound of Ms. Lin. She felt a burst of pain at the thought of words that he threatened her. Now she didn't even have a choice to die.

"Oh, Princess fell asleep. She just woke up. Maybe she's too tired." Ms. Lin said in a low voice and kept observing Shangguan Mo from the corner of her eye for fear that he would get angry because of this.

Shangguan Mo certainly knew why she did this. She didn't want to see him at all. As he just came in, she wasn't even willing to open her eyes but tears from the corner of her eyes never stopped flowing. He wouldn't blame her. It was all his fault.

"Ms. Lin, you can leave now!" Shangguan Mo said to Ms. Lin on the side.

"Yes, Prince." Ms. Lin dare not say much. She went out and closed the door. However, it seemed that the Prince was not angry, so he might not do anything to Princess.

Shangguan Mo gently wiped the tears from Murong Xue's eyes and sighed slightly.

Murong Xue stiffened, resisting the urge to turn away. What did he mean? Did he want to comfort her after torturing her? She didn't want it at all.

He held her hand on the quilt and felt her slight tremor, and his guilt grew stronger. "Xue, will you open your eyes and look at me?"

After waiting for a long time, he didn't see any movement from Murong Xue. He could only tell that she was awake from the tears that were flowing out of her eyes.

He slowly opened his mouth to express his guilt. "Xue, I'm sorry... It's all my fault. Can you forgive me? I'm just too angry."

"I really didn't mean to hurt you. You know, I came back with joy that day, ready to work harder to finish the work so that I could see you as soon as possible. I really missed you. But someone showed me the photos of you and Linli hugging together. God knows how painful I feel..."

That meant that he didn't believe her. Even if he knew that he misunderstood her, it was too late even if he apologized to her now. She didn't want to be hurt again. Her heart was broken. And it couldn't be fixed anymore.

Besides, he didn't belong to her in the first place. They never had any connection in their previous life. The good memories of them in the past few days were temporary. Maybe they were wrong from the beginning.

Shangguan Mo kept saying things to her, but Murong Xue couldn't listen to it anymore. This time it was merely a small incident that touched off a big one. Things that didn't belong to her would never be hers.

Murong Xue opened her teary eyes and said with a hoarse voice, "Shangguan Mo, we should break up!" There was no anger or resentment in her voice.

Shangguan Mo was shocked. He was panicked. He barely forced a smile. "Xue, you are joking with me, right?" The tone was light, which showed that he was nervous.

She turned her head and looked at him. "I'm serious. We're not right for each other. Let's break up!" She should give up now.

Shangguan Mo went crazy! He instantly smashed everything around, except the bed and Murong Xue on the bed. His eyes were bloodshot, staring at Murong Xue who was stupefied and lying on the bed. He felt overwhelmed even though he needed to make a small movement.

He was wrong. He shouldn't have done that to her. Now he only hoped that she could stop saying things that he couldn't afford.

Tears streamed down his face, which startled Murong Xue who had been looking at him. She almost couldn't help coming forward. She then thought of the grand wedding of him and Bai Xueli in the previous life. She soon resisted the urge, thinking that he was merely unwilling to do so. She shouldn't think that he was reluctant to give her up. Otherwise, she couldn't bear to be hurt by him again.

Shangguan Mo suddenly felt flustered. He moved closer and hugged her, "Xue, I know you must be angry with me, right? I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have done that to you. You can hit me and curse me! Come and beat me hard until you feel good." Shangguan Mo grabbed her unhurt hand and hit himself in the face.

"Enough." Murong Xue pulled back her hand, tears streaming down.

"You forgive me, right?" Shangguan Mo looked at her cautiously.

Murong Xue kept crying. She could barely control her feelings.

He should have been condescending and respected by countless people. He never had to be humble. It took Murong Xue a great deal of effort to make up her mind, but now she couldn't help but hesitate because he looked so sad.

"I want to go home..." Murong Xue said in a hoarse voice.

"Okay. Okay. Give me two days and I'll go home with you when I finish the work, okay?" As long as she didn't leave him, he was willing to satisfy all her wishes.

Murong Xue didn't speak, only crying silently. If he had the memory of his previous life, would he still do this to her? She suffered from the memory of two lifetimes. Her spirit was polluted. Could she be with him like this? Gazing at his cautious look, she found it difficult to breathe. It was her bad. How could she let him be like this?

"We won't fight anymore, okay? I will always be good to you... Always. I was wrong before. It was all my fault. I will never listen to others again..." Shangguan Mo was holding her in his arms, mumbling in her ear.

His gentle and extremely unique voice rang out in her ears. Her heart ached because of his words. She couldn't control her feelings anymore. A moment ago, she was still determined to end everything. Now, everything collapsed. She failed to keep him away from her.

She turned around, held his waist, buried deep in his arms. She thought she really could not escape for the rest of her life as he said. Even though she knew that she was heading to hell, she also jumped down without hesitation. She was willing to do this without complaint and regrets.

Shangguan Mo contentedly held the treasure in his arms. The surprise of regaining the person that he was about to lose overwhelmed him. He hoped that he could stay at this moment forever. He knew that she had not fully opened her heart, but it didn't matter. He was wrong. He would treat her better. Life was long. One day she would fully accept him.

Gradually, the two warmly embraced each other and slept together. They no longer frowned and raised a smile instead. Everything looked so beautiful.

However, in the eyes of Bai Xueli, it was simply like hell. Today, she just wanted to come, check the situation, and then make plans, but she didn't expect to see such a heart-wrenching scene.

She was standing at the door. The pointed fingernails in her hand pierced her delicate skin, so she could resist the urge to go forward and tear up Murong Xue.

After a while, Bai Xueli resisted the murderous intent in her heart and regained her delicate and lovely image.

She walked slowly to the bed and said softly with a gentle and sweet voice, "Mo, get up..."

Shangguan Mo's eyebrows moved. His black eyes opened instantly, and he looked at the Murong Xue in his arms with a smile. He then glanced at Bai Xueli beside the bed, frowned slightly, and said coldly in a very low voice, "Why are you here?" There was a flash of displeasure in his heart. He didn't forget who gave him those photos.

Bai Xueli was shocked by his cold voice. Was Shangguan Mo angry? He wasn't dealing with others, but with her. But why...? Did Shangguan Mo know the truth about the photos? Even if he knew that the relationship between Zhang Linli and that cheap woman was not a couple, he couldn't blame it on her.

She suddenly felt distressed. If Shangguan Mo loved Murong Xue so deeply and he could even tolerate the intimacy between that woman and Zhang Linli, then she could never change his feelings no matter how many means she used.

She was about to explain but saw Shangguan Mo put his forefinger on his mouth. He then pointed outside of the door and motioned her to go out. She had to swallow her words. What saddened her most was that he was careful about Murong Xue. The person who was being treated like that would be moved. But as for her, she could only feel heartbroken.

She went out silently, thinking about countless possibilities. "What should I do? What should I do? How can I make Mo come back to me? How can he change? When we were children, he said that he would always treat me well. Hehe. No. I can't blame Mo. It's those people's fault. They always come out and get in the way."

She didn't want to do that. Shangguan Mo said she was very kind. But Shangguan Mo didn't understand. If she was kind, he would be stolen away from her. She only needed to be kind in front of Shangguan Mo.

She thought to herself, "All those who want to take away Mo will disappear. Murong Xue, you, too. Soon, you will disappear unconsciously like that couple. Ha-ha..."

Shangguan Mo gently let go of Murong Xue's hand holding his waist. When he saw the bandaged wound on her wrists, he felt sorry for her. He then got up more gently.

After walking out of the door, he gently closed the door and then looked at the Bai Xueli waiting at the door with her head lowering. He couldn't see her face clearly. But he didn't know why he suddenly felt aloof, but soon this feeling dissipated.

Bai Xueli looked up. Her face still looked pure and kind. Her expression seemed slightly guilty. "Mo, did I disturb you?" After that, her hands twisted as if she hadn't known what to do while feeling guilty. She paused and then continued, "I... I didn't know you were with Xue. I just wanted to ask you to have a meal together." Then she lowered her head and looked like she was waiting to be scolded.

Shangguan Mo frowned and looked at the watch on his wrist. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon. It was indeed time for dinner. However, it took Xue lots of effort to fall asleep, so he wanted her to sleep a little longer.

He also had something to ask Bai Xueli. But it was inconvenient if Murong Xue was there. Shangguan Mo said faintly to Bai Xueli who was still lowering her head, "Let's go and have dinner together. I also have something to ask you."

Bai Xueli was a bit startled, not making any noise. She already had so many thoughts in her mind and then replied in a low voice, "OK." After walking for a while, she said faintly, "Mo, I feel that we haven't had dinner together for a long time. I am so happy."

Shangguan Mo paused and continued to walk forward. "Ha-ha, what's so happy about eating with your brother? In the future, there will be a man who loves you. By then, you will probably think that I'm annoying."

How could there be such a person? Even if there was, it was pointless if that person was not Shangguan Mo.

"You have a girlfriend now. Do you think I am annoying?" Bai Xueli pretended to say jokingly. Only she knew in her heart how seriously she was asking.

"No. You will always be my sister..." Shangguan Mo said with a faint smile.

It was true. She was merely his sister. But what she wanted was not only to be his sister.

The two already reached the dining table. Ms. Lin placed all the delicious dishes that she prepared in advance on the dining table.

"Mo, Ms. Lin is really good at cooking!" Bai Xueli praised Ms. Lin's cooking skills while eating.

Shangguan Mo wasn't impressed. The only thing that made him feel truly delicious was the food cooked by Murong Xue. Thought of this, he smiled happily and said, "The food Xue cooks is much better. When she recovers, you will know after you have a try." His voice sounded extremely happy.

Bai Xueli's hand grabbing the chopsticks tightened. The food in her mouth instantly became bitter though she just found it delicious. "Really? By the way, what's the matter with Xue? Why did she need to recover?"

Shangguan Mo paused. His eyes flashed with a touch of guilt. "Nothing. Xue's hand was accidentally scratched by the glass. She lost too much blood. She will recover after several days." He paused and added, "Don't ask Xue these things, okay?"

Was it a scratch? What kind of scratch would make her lose so much blood? She didn't expect that Murong Xue actually knew how to deceive others by torturing herself. No wonder Shangguan Mo was not angry anymore. Bai Xueli thought that she was a pure girl, but she didn't expect her to be so scheming. She didn't think Murong Xue was really trying to die. If she truly wanted to die, how could she still be alive now?

Collecting her thoughts, Bai Xueli showed a look of worry. "It's too serious. Then I should stay here with Xue."

Hearing this, Shangguan Mo looked up at Bai Xueli cautiously, "Xueli, where did the photos you gave me before come from?" It was not that he had never suspected Bai Xueli before, but he had been watching her grow up since childhood. Normally, she wasn't even willing to trample an ant to death. He couldn't believe that she deliberately alienated them.
