Chapter 268 Pretending to Twist an Ankle
“Miss Xuanxuan, didn’t the young mistress already tell you? The young master is working.”
Although Acheng didn't want to lie to Muxuan, he knew the gravity of the situation and knew that he absolutely couldn't tell Muxuan about this.
"Is it really work?" Mu Xuan still didn't believe it.
“Young Master is really working,” A-Cheng said without changing his expression.
Mu Xuan stared intently at A-Cheng for a moment before looking away; she believed what A-Cheng had said.
"Can you tell me what Ye does for work?" She wanted to know about Yan Ye. These past few days, he had been hiding in his room on the fourth floor. She couldn't see him and didn't know what he was doing. She felt empty inside.
"I don't know either," Acheng replied.
Mu Xuan knew that A-Cheng was not lying to her. After all, A-Cheng was just a bodyguard responsible for Yan Ye's personal safety, so he certainly wouldn't know much about his work.
Just as Mu Xuan was about to turn and leave, she suddenly caught sight of Zhang Qier walking out from a corner, seemingly looking for Acheng.
Thinking of Zhang Qier's previous attitude towards her, Mu Xuan turned around and took two steps, then suddenly cried out in pain, pretending to twist her ankle.
"Miss Xuanxuan, what's wrong?" Upon seeing this, Acheng quickly helped her up.
"I think I twisted my ankle, it hurts so much." Mu Xuan leaned her whole body against A-Cheng.
"Let me help you to that stone bench over there to rest for a bit."
"it is good."
Mu Xuan agreed, but with A-Cheng's help, she had only taken a few steps when she suddenly cried out in pain: "No, my feet hurt so much, I can't walk at all."
Acheng frowned. Mu Xuan was probably going to need him to carry her, but he already had a girlfriend and didn't want to carry another woman.
"It hurts so much, it really hurts so much."
Seeing Mu Xuan's face contorted in pain, A-Cheng gritted his teeth, bent down, and picked her up.
Not far away, Zhang Qi'er clenched her fists in anger as she watched this scene.
She was angry, but even more heartbroken. Her fists were clenched, and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.
Isn't it said that once you have a girlfriend, you'll be devoted to her?
Why bother with that woman?
Not only did they try to control me, they even hugged me.
Liars, all of them are liars.
She shouldn't have fallen in love with this man; she was blind.
There are no good men in this world, none at all.
Acheng carried Muxuan to the stone bench and put her down. He bent down to check her ankles, but before he could lift her feet to examine them, his gaze inadvertently fell on a figure not far away.
He froze on the spot, completely dumbfounded.
He didn't come to his senses until Zhang Qier turned and ran away angrily.
"Qi'er, you've misunderstood. It's not what you think."
Acheng stood up to chase after her, but Mu Xuan suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm: "Acheng, my foot hurts so much, can you take me to the infirmary first?"
Acheng frowned, glanced at Zhang Qier who had already run far away, then looked back at Mu Xuan who was in pain. After hesitating for a moment, he bent down, picked up Mu Xuan, and walked quickly towards the infirmary.
Mu Xuan leaned on A-Cheng's shoulder, a smug smile playing on her lips.
Dare to call her shameless? Dare to yell at her?
Ha, Mu Xuan is no pushover.
Acheng took Mu Xuan to the infirmary, told Xiao Liu to come and examine her, and then ran out to find Zhang Qier.
Xiao Liu reluctantly came over to examine Mu Xuan, but before she could reach Mu Xuan, Mu Xuan suddenly stood up from her chair and, to Xiao Liu's astonishment, limped away from the infirmary.
What does it mean?
Don't you want her to see it?
That's perfect, she doesn't want to touch her stinky feet anyway.
After glancing at Mu Xuan's retreating figure, Xiao Liu turned and returned to the counter.
Mu Xuan didn't keep pretending. After leaving the infirmary, she became more and more normal.
It took Acheng a long time to find Zhang Qier by the small lotus pond.
Zhang Qi'er sat alone on a stone bench, staring blankly at the lotus pond in front of her, her expression indifferent yet tinged with sadness.
"Qi'er, let me explain. It's not what you think."
Upon seeing Zhang Qier, Acheng rushed over.
"Not what I thought? Then what was it?" Zhang Qi'er looked up at him and sneered.
“Xuanxuan, she…”
"Xuanxuan? You're calling her that so affectionately." Zhang Qi'er was so angry when she heard him call Mu Xuan so affectionately that she immediately jumped up from the stone bench.
Acheng: "..." Is that the point?
"Okay, I won't call her Xuanxuan anymore, I'll call her Miss Xuanxuan."
"Call me Mu Xuan."
Acheng: "...Okay, I'll call her Mu Xuan."
Women can be incredibly unreasonable when they're jealous.
However, this is an expression of love for him.
"Mu Xuan twisted her ankle and couldn't walk, so I carried her..."
"I'm your girlfriend, and you've never hugged me like that before!" Zhang Qi'er choked back tears as she roared at him.
She was unhappy; she didn't like him hugging any woman other than her.
Seeing her so angry, Acheng felt bad and also very wronged.
“I did hold you like that. That night after you fainted, that’s how I carried you back,” Acheng said, feeling wronged.
"Really? I fainted, I didn't feel anything at all. Besides, if you really cared about me, why didn't you come after me to explain immediately after you saw I was angry? It's been so long since you came to explain, what's the point now? Do you think I'll still believe you?"
If he had abandoned Mu Xuan and chased after her immediately, she might have believed him.
But he didn't.
Thinking about this, Zhang Qier felt extremely sad and angry.
"That's because Xuanxuan, no, Mu Xuan, she..."
"That's enough. You don't need to explain anymore. I will never believe you again."
The way he called out to her so affectionately shows that he's still thinking about Mu Xuan and hasn't let go of her at all.
Zhang Qier yelled at Acheng and then ran away.
"Qi'er..." A-Cheng immediately chased after her.
Acheng chased after her, calling her name, but Zhang Qier didn't stop. She ran all the way back to her bedroom and locked herself inside.
No matter what A-Cheng said outside the door, she wouldn't open it or respond to him.
Ah Cheng finally returned to his bedroom dejectedly.
"Sister, why can't Night Baby go downstairs to play?"
In the room on the fourth floor, Ye Baobao lay on the bed, blinking his starry eyes and asking Yue Yirou, who was sleeping with him.
Yue Yirou reached out and ruffled his hair, saying affectionately, "Because a bad older sister came downstairs, she's very fierce, so we're avoiding her."
"Is she the auntie we met in the hallway the other day?"
Yue Yirou smiled and said, "That's right, it's that auntie."
Night Baby asked again, "Did she bully my sister?"
"No," Yue Yirou denied. She didn't want to tell Ye Baobao these things; she hoped he would always maintain his innocent mind.
Ye Baobao believed Yue Yirou's words. She said that if she hadn't been bullied, then she hadn't been bullied. He was relieved. However, he said very seriously, "Sister, if that bad sister bullies you, you must tell me. Ye Baobao will get revenge for you."
