Murong Xue frowned. Did she talk nonsense after getting drunk last night? "What? Tell me what I did last night?"

"This is a secret that only I know. I can't tell you!" Chu Yisen smiled faintly, but he recalled that Murong Xue was crying sadly last night.

Murong Xue pouted her lips discontentedly. It didn't matter if he wouldn't tell. "I'm going back. I'm sorry for troubling you last night."

Chu Yisen's eyes lowered. "Okay, I'll drive you back!"

Soon, Murong Xue returned to the villa. Chu Yisen watched Murong Xue enter the villa, having lots of thoughts. After a while, he drove away.

As soon as Murong Xue got into the villa, she found Shangguan Mo sitting in the hall. She ran over happily, "Mo, aren't you busy today?"

She smiled brightly and was still wearing the clothes she wore yesterday. Just now he clearly saw the car that drove her back to the villa. She also said goodbye to the man happily. Now she still talked to him as affectionately as usual. Shouldn't she explain it? He tried hard to resist a sharp pang of jealousy, pretending to ask faintly, "Where did you go last night? You didn't come back or answer your phone..." As long as she explained, he would believe her.

Murong Xue remembered her awkward look of getting drunk the day before, and she was actually with another man. Although nothing happened, she somehow recalled the last time Shangguan Mo was furious. She then suddenly swallowed back the words that she was about to explain.

She would rather not bring it up. She didn't do it on purpose. She didn’t do anything wrong. "I was tired last night and slept outside. Maybe I fell asleep, so I didn't hear the phone. I'm sorry, Mo..." She took out her phone and found dozens of missed calls. It lasted until this morning. Murong Xue suddenly felt guilty and secretly swore that she would never do that again.

With her head down, she didn't notice that Shangguan Mo's face darkened and he seemed disappointed.

"Really? Have you eaten breakfast? Breakfast is ready. Let's eat some first..." Shangguan Mo thought that he was patient and he could wait for her to accept him slowly. He didn't realize that it was a bit unbearable until now. She was the one that he held dear to his heart, but she didn't treat him the same way.

Murong Xue suddenly looked up and felt that the expression on his handsome face was a little different. "Okay, I'm also hungry."

The two went to the table to have breakfast together, where breakfast was already served by the servants.

They were having breakfast quietly. Murong Xue wanted to say something, only to find that no matter what she said, Shangguan Mo only gave a brief answer blandly.

Gradually, Murong Xue also discovered that something was wrong. There was something wrong with Shangguan Mo. He seemed different. If they had been in the past, he would have talked to her endlessly. No matter what she said, he always had a lot to reply to her.

But now, no matter what she said, he seemed to be absent-minded. He was not even looking at her. What happened to him? Was there anything wrong with the business? "Mo, what's the matter? Is something wrong?" She looked at Shangguan Mo with worry.

Shangguan Mo looked at Murong Xue hesitantly with mixed emotions.

He opened his mouth and wanted to ask who the man driving her back today was. But then he thought that it made no difference even if he asked, so he shook his head slightly. "Nothing."

He didn't look like he was fine, but she also knew that he wouldn't tell her if he didn't want to, no matter how hard she tried. She was suddenly in no mood to eat, fiddling with the food in front of her, but she kept thinking about what happened to Shangguan Mo. Suddenly, she thought that after she answered him today, he began to act differently. Was he angry with her? She asked with caution, "Mo, are you angry with me?"

Shangguan Mo smiled and consoled her, "No, don't overthink it." He was not angry, only wanting more. Her affection now couldn't satisfy his desire.

"Okay. You must tell me if anything happens."

After that, Shangguan Mo was going to work in the company, but Murong Xue still stayed at home as if in a trance. Her mind went blank. She constantly recalled Shangguan Mo's strange expressions.

After a long while, Murong Xue still couldn't figure it out, so she went back to the room, locked the door, and entered the Space. Although she was confident about this competition, she should still practice. Being fully prepared was a habit she had formed after she was reborn.

After a long time, several days passed in the Space. Murong Xue stretched and left the Space. After all, it was not her own place, so she didn’t dare to stay in the Space for too long.

The sky darkened, but Shangguan Mo still hadn't come back. After washing up, Murong Xue was lying on the bed, picked up a book, and waited for him while reading.

Gradually, it was late at night. Murong Xue couldn't help but feel sleepy and fell asleep on the bed.

At this time, Chu Yisen looked at the information he investigated in his hand. He grabbed it so tightly that blue veins in his hands stood out.

Murong Xue once committed suicide.

He couldn't believe it, so he kept flipping through the papers in his hand over and over again.

He remembered that Murong Xue was crying and murmuring after getting drunk. He felt distressed. She must be so desperate that she decided to slit her wrists. The reason the doctor of the hospital wrote was that she was accidentally cut by the glass. How could he believe such an obvious lie?

He thought to himself, "Shangguan Mo, since you don't cherish Xue, the woman I hold dear to my heart, I won't just leave it like that. I thought Shangguan Mo was the right person for Xue. I still remember that Xue looked so happy when she talked about Shangguan Mo before. I think that as long as she feels happy, I'm willing to quit."

However, the outcome he saw now was not what he had imagined. He didn't even know that Murong Xue had suffered so much.

The next morning, Murong Xue rubbed her sore arms, looked at the tidy bed, and got up in surprise. It seemed that Shangguan Mo didn't come back last night.

After washing up, she went to his study but there was no sign of him.

Murong Xue felt depressed. Only after one night, she already felt that something was wrong.

After eating breakfast listlessly, Murong Xue couldn't help calling Shangguan Mo. However, when she was about to tell him something happily, he only said lightly, "I'm busy now. Let's talk about it later." He then hung up. Holding the phone for a long time, Murong Xue couldn't come to her senses. This was the first time he hung up before her.

And now, Bai Xueli in the manor also received the news. She clenched her fists fiercely. It was truly hard to get rid of Murong Xue, who was with Shangguan Mo again.

She immediately began to dress up, spending a full hour doing delicate makeup. And then she put on her favorite handmade custom dress, which made her look elegantly beautiful. It was just that it seemed weird when this look combined with her original pure temperament.

She rushed to Shangguan Mo's company as fast as possible and went all the way to his office.

"Mo!" Bai Xueli smiled and called Shangguan Mo, who was still busy.

Shangguan Mo looked up in surprise. "Xueli, why are you here?"

Bai Xueli walked in her high heels, pouted her lips, and complained, "Can't I find you even if I have nothing to do? Mo, you haven't had a meal with me for a long time."

Shangguan Mo rubbed his head which felt a bit painful. Last night he didn't know why, but he suddenly didn't want to face Murong Xue. Thus, he stayed in the office all night and didn't close his eyes until now. He was a little tired. "Didn't we have dinner together last week?"

"It was last week, and we haven't eaten together this week. I always feel a little bored while eating alone."

Shangguan Mo looked at the watch on his wrist. It was almost time for lunch. He closed the file. "Let's go then. We can eat now." He never forgot that Bai Xueli once took the bullet for him, so he always treated her nicely and would satisfy her if she didn't ask for too much.

"Great, let's go, Mo. I'm hungry..." She took Shangguan Mo's arm joyfully. People who knew them would say that the relationship between the brother and sister was great. People who didn't know would think that they were like a couple when they saw them. The woman was elegant and beautiful while the man was handsome and aloof. They looked perfect for each other.

Shangguan Mo didn't notice this. Bai Xueli was always close to him since they were young. He got used to it, so he didn't think that there was anything wrong with it.

Bai Xueli was overjoyed. Shangguan Mo never refused to get close to her, so she thought that he still cared about her.

The two went to a western-style restaurant they often went to. After ordering the food, Bai Xueli pretended to ask unintentionally, "Mo, I haven't seen Xue for a long time. Why don't you ask her to come over for lunch?" In fact, she only wanted Murong Xue to see how intimate she and Shangguan Mo were. Even if it was her wishful thinking, she was also willing to do so.

However, Shangguan Mo's face darkened. He replied after a while, "Why call her? Only the two of us are fine." It was not that he didn't want to see her, but he hadn't sorted out his thoughts yet. He was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions and hurt her again.

Now Bai Xueli was a bit confused. Why did Shangguan Mo say that in such a tone? Did they quarrel? She was happy. It was great as long as they had conflicts. She would always find a chance to intensify their conflicts.
