Mr. Lu, the wife was the white moonlight that night

Mu Sichen directly opened her hand and said, "You are right, you did a good job, I can't fault it!"

Although it was a sentence without reproach, his tone was so cold, without a trace of warmth.

Xia Ling saw that he didn't want to talk to her.

Swallowing all the grievances into her stomach, she didn't speak again.

In the darkness, only the steady breathing of each other could be heard.

Xia Ling thought silently, she and Mu Sichen have been together for more than five years, is it that the seven-year itch has come early?

Or, Mu Sichen is already tired of playing this game of revenge, even he himself finds it boring.

So, even if she came back to him, he didn't have any interest in her?

Just thinking about it like this, Xia Ling finally fell asleep in the middle of the night.

……

Two days later, Xia Dongtian's medical parole was finally settled, and after paying a guarantee fee, Xia Ling was finally able to see his father.

When Xia Ling entered the ward and saw the vicissitudes of his father on the hospital bed, tears could no longer be held back and gushed out.

"dad!"

She hugged her father and said with a sob: "I almost thought I would never see you again."

Xia Dongtian burst into tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Lingling, you... don't you blame Dad? That day, after you left the prison, I thought that you would never recognize me as Dad again!" Xia Ling calmed down, wiped away tears, and said, "You are my father, no matter what you have done, I will always remember, how did you bring me up?"

Xia Dongtian looked at his daughter with relief, and said, "Dad, I'm sorry. In the past few years, Dad knows that your life with Mu Sichen must be difficult."

Xia Ling lowered his head slightly, not wanting to show his sadness in front of his father, but said in a low voice: "It's all over, he treats me very well now."

Xia Dongtian suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, Dad asked you, how did the prison agree to let me be released on medical parole?"

"It was Mu Sichen who helped."

Xia Ling sighed and said, "Aside from him, who else would make this matter so smooth?"

Xia Dongtian now feels chills all over whenever he mentions the word Mu Sichen.

He said to Xia Ling like a frightened bird: "Lingling, Dad doesn't need you to commit yourself to him in order to save me. Anyway, now that I have seen you, I will die without regret. Listen to me and leave quickly He, he didn't treat you sincerely. Do you know that when our family went bankrupt and he kept you by his side, it was all his conspiracy! "

Xia Ling bent the corners of his lips bitterly, nodded, and said, "I know all about it."

"you know?"

Xia Dongtian said urgently and anxiously: "Since you know everything, why don't you leave him? Lingling, Dad doesn't need you to save me in this way. I committed an offense back then, and I deserve it! You are obedient and leave him , run away and never come back. Your father is a sinner, but you are not!"

Xia Ling looked deeply at his father, and said helplessly and desperately: "But, it's your blood that runs on my body. Dad, the kind of good life I lived when I was young was the result of you stepping on Mu Sishen's father." In exchange for my life! Now that I know the truth, how can I be alone?"

Xia Dongtian collapsed again, and kept muttering: "I'm sorry, it's Dad who's sorry for you. But Lingling, let me redeem my sin. Even now, Mu Sichen wants my life, I can't see it." I will blink. But I don't want you to suffer for me, you know that people like Mu Sichen have no sincerity, and you are still young, so you can't continue to delay your youth like this."

Xia Ling took a deep breath, shook his head, and said in a tone of ashes, "Whether he is sincere to me or not, I already know, and to me, it is no longer important. From what I learned about what you did back then Afterwards, in my life, there are only two words 'atonement'. I stay by his side, nothing more than hoping that he will repay all the hatred in his heart to me. If one day, he is relieved and let go, it will be when I left him."

Their father and daughter didn't know that Mu Sichen was standing outside the door at this moment.

When he heard Xia Ling's truth, he was stunned.

During this period of time, what he felt strange, everything seemed to have an explanation.

It turned out that it wasn't that he thought too much, but that Xia Ling came back to him only for the sake of 'atonement'.

That's it.

Therefore, he no longer felt her dependence, her admiration, and the way she stared at him obsessively.

Now Xia Ling's eyes are always so cold and calm, she is so calm!Calmly not like her.

At this moment, Mu Sichen realized that he had really lost her.

The heartache came out belatedly, cutting through all the cells in his body like a knife.

Mu Sichen turned around weakly, and walked towards the elevator, not planning to disturb Xia Dongtian and Xia Ling's reunion.

……

Because it had been a long time since he and his father got along so freely, Xia Ling accompanied Xia Dongtian to dinner before returning home.

And at night, Aunt Fang offered to take care of Xia Dongtian.

This made Xia Ling feel more at ease.

On the way, Xia Ling was hesitating whether to confess to Mrs. Mu about Xia Dongtian's medical parole.

Later, she still denied her own idea.

Although Mrs. Mu's attitude towards her has changed now, Xia Dongtian is the culprit, and Mrs. Mu will never forgive her.

In the end, Xia Ling was still going to bury this matter in his heart, either wait for Mu Sichen to tell his mother, or wait for Mrs. Mu to find out.

When Xia Ling came home, Mrs. Mu happened to be sitting in the living room.

"I'm home?"

Mrs. Mu asked strangely: "Why are you working overtime so late today? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Xia Ling looked at her suspiciously, "Wait for me?"

"Yeah, come on, come here."

Madam Mu took her hand to the dining table, where two bowls of black medicine were placed.

The pungent smell of traditional Chinese medicine made Xia Ling frowned, and said, "Auntie, what is this? Are you unfamiliar with it?"

"This is not for me to drink!"

Madam Mu smiled, and said mysteriously, "This is for you and Si Chen!"

Xia Ling looked at her in surprise, "Give it to Si Chen and me? Why drink this?"

"Of course it's pregnancy preparation!"

Mrs. Mu didn't notice the strange expression on Xia Ling's face either, she said to herself, "I got this prescription from a famous Chinese medicine practitioner! Look, you and Si Chen have been together for so long. Let me tell you, Let's pick an auspicious day, get the certificate, and hurry up to make a man! I'm thinking about you, give birth to a younger child, and recover faster, you know?"

Seeing that Mrs. Mu was speaking with great interest, Xia Ling didn't have the nerve to refuse, so she asked, "Then... have you asked Si Chen? What did he say?"

"he?"

Mrs. Mu snorted coldly, and said: "I'll get angry when I mention him. Today I thought, let him drink this bowl of medicine first. How did I know that this kid ignored me and went upstairs by himself and locked the room I can't even knock on the door. So, this medicine, you still have to bring it up for him to drink. "

Xia Ling was even more speechless. She didn't want to drink it herself, so how could she serve it to Mu Sichen?

Seeing her hesitation, Mrs. Mu persuaded her earnestly: "Lingling, although your father did not behave properly, you can see that I have accepted you, and I don't regard you and your father as They are the same kind of people. You and Si Chen have been together for more than five years. How come you have to achieve a positive result? We must be a family sooner or later. I look forward to the stars and the moon as if I were looking forward to a grandson. You will complete my work. Make a wish!"

Xia Ling sighed, she was really defeated by Madam Mu's stalking.

In desperation, she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll serve it up now."

Mrs. Mu first picked up a bowl of medicine and handed it to her, saying: "Come on, you drink first, I will watch you drink."

Unable to resist the old lady, Xia Ling had no choice but to bite the bullet and finish the bitter and astringent medicine in one go.

When Mrs. Mu saw this, she was very happy, as if her eldest grandson was already waving to her.

She urged: "Then you go up quickly, remember, you must keep an eye on Si Chen, and finish this bowl of medicine, you know?" Xia Ling had no choice but to take the medicine and walk to the master bedroom.

The bedroom was pitch black, and as soon as he entered the door, the smell of smoke made Xia Ling frown.

She quickly turned on the light, and the tall and lonely figure of the man came into view.

Mu Sichen was facing the window, the cigarette on his fingertips was flickering, and there were already many cigarette butts in the ashtray on the coffee table beside him.

Xia Ling was slightly startled, but he still restrained his nervousness and walked over.

She put the medicine bowl on the tea table, and asked cautiously, "Si Chen, are you...are you in a bad mood? Why are you smoking so much?"

Mu Sichen didn't speak, and continued to smoke.

His cold face was hidden in layers of smoke, and it also became dim.

Xia Ling's heartbeat was inexplicably chaotic. Thinking of Mrs. Mu's order, she bit the bullet and said, "Just now, your mother asked me to bring you this bowl of medicine, saying it is a tonic and good for your health."

Mu Si glanced at the medicine bowl with his cold eyes, and asked, "What tonic?"

"That... that's that..." Xia Ling hesitated for a moment, and said awkwardly: "It's the medicine that my aunt said is good for pregnancy preparation. I've already drank it just now, should you drink this bowl too?"

Mu Sichen suddenly sneered and said, "Have you drank? Do you want to get pregnant?"

Xia Ling's heart skipped a beat, but she still nodded and whispered 'um'.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Sichen took out a box of contraceptive pills and threw it in front of her.

Xia Ling subconsciously took a few steps back, looking at him a little helplessly.

The man's eyes were cold, and he asked word by word: "This is what you said, you want to get pregnant? Xia Ling, you are doing the same thing in front of your face, and the other behind your back. You are playing really beautifully!"

"Si Chen, I..."

Xia Ling wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Mu Sichen.

The man's eyes were deep, he stared at her motionlessly, and asked, "Xia Ling, do you still love me?"

Xia Ling raised her head in astonishment, and when her eyes met, she felt a little guilty.

She turned her face away immediately, but her gaze was still erratic.

Mu Sichen couldn't bear such an awkward feeling anymore, he directly pinched her chin, and said angrily, "Look at me! Xia Ling, look at me! Tell me, do you still love me?"

Xia Ling bit her lip, tears welled up in her clear eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Don't ask, I don't know..."

"What don't you know?" Mu Sichen said more and more furiously, he gritted his teeth and said, "So, you don't even know whether you love me or not! Xia Ling, you are just atonement now, aren't you! The relationship between us, in your heart, is nothing but atonement!"

Under his persecution, Xia Ling's forbearance during this time finally broke out.

"Yes! I have to atone for my sins, and I have to do something for the sins my father committed back then!" Xia Ling broke away from him, squatted on the ground, suppressed his crying, and said, "I don't know how to make him Are you happier and more comfortable? I have worked really hard, and I don’t understand why it still turned out like this in the end.”

Mu Sichen pulled her up, restrained his anger, and said, "I tried my best to forget that you are Xia Dongtian's daughter, and I tried my best to forget those hatreds for you. I even used so many Relationship, go and release my father-killing enemy on bail! But you told me that you just want to atone for your sins now! If I really want you to atone for your sins, I have ten thousand ways to torture you!"

After finishing speaking, he threw her aside, with nowhere to vent his anger.

He punched the mirror hard.

With a "snap", the mirror shattered, and blood dripped down his hand.

Xia Ling was terrified. She ran in front of him, distressed and angry, "Are you crazy? Mu Sichen, what exactly do you want?"

Mu Sichen waved her away, leaned against the wall weakly, closed his eyes tightly, and said, "Don't worry about me. Xia Ling, if you just came to redeem your sins, then now, you are free. I'm tired, I don't want to If you want to take revenge on anyone else, let's go!"

Xia Ling's heart was in pain, she bent her knees and squatted in the corner, and said in a low voice: "Since I knew that the bankruptcy of our Xia family was related to you, the five years we were together were all a game set up by you, I never had a full sleep again. Every night, in the dead of night, it seems that there are a thousand and ten thousand insects gnawing at my bones. Mu Sichen, do you know that I am also very It hurts!"

Mu Sichen finally calmed down, the pain on his hands seemed to be no match for the pain in his heart.

He didn't interrupt her, but listened silently.

Xia Ling wiped away her tears with pale fingertips, and rolled up a sad smile: "I still hate everything you did to me. But every time I think of my father, I realize that I don't even have the right to hate you." No. Si Chen, I live a hard life every day. I really want to make you more comfortable, but no matter what I do, it seems that I can't satisfy you. Tell me where I am wrong, and I will change it, okay? "

"Lingling..."

Mu Si was as heavy as a choke in his throat, and after only two words, he couldn't say a complete sentence anymore.

He walked over, squatted in front of her, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"No, you don't have to apologize to me."

Xia Ling shook his head and said, "Even if I should apologize, I should apologize. In front of you, my father and I will always be sinners."

For the first time, Mu Sichen discovered that the heart can be hurt like this.

His hands trembled slightly, stroking her hair, and asked: "Then tell me the truth, do you still love me? Don't think about your father, and don't think about me. Ask yourself, do you still love me?" ?”
