After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

"That's good." Qi nodded with satisfaction.

Then, she glanced at Ling Chuan's neck intentionally or unintentionally, thinking that the young couple had just reunited after a short separation and their friendship was still strong, so she didn't plan to go in and disturb them.

So he made up another excuse and said, "Since you are at home, I will go back first. Tiedan is still waiting for me at home."

"Okay." Ling Chuan responded, and Qi left.

After she left, Ling Chuan's face instantly became worse. His fists at his sides were clenched so tightly that they made a crackling sound, with veins exposed, as if he was suppressing his anger to the extreme.

He stood there for a long time before suppressing the violent anger in his heart. Then he raised his hand to close the door and turned around and strode towards the kitchen.

Xia Mo, who was lighting the fire in the kitchen, saw him come in and couldn't help but think of his convulsion last night. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so he smiled at him shyly and called him "Brother Ling."

"Yeah." Looking at the young man in front of him with a bitter face, Ling Chuan felt a dull pain in his heart again. No wonder the young man was so angry last night.

It turned out that during the time he was away, he not only worried about himself all day long, but also had to endure such vicious slander. It was he who failed to protect him...

Ling Chuan felt regretful as he thought about it. He himself couldn't bear to bully his little brother, so how dare they?

At this moment, he wished he could immediately find out the person who spread the rumors and make him regret coming into this world!

Xia Mo didn't know what Ling Chuan was thinking, but he clearly noticed the cruel look that quickly flashed across his dark eyes, and he was a little confused for a moment.

Hmm? What happened to him? It's just a small matter last night, so it shouldn't be that serious, right?

Xia Mo couldn't figure it out, so he asked again tentatively, "Brother Ling...what's wrong?"

However, Ling Chuan, immersed in deep self-blame, did not answer, so Xia Mo waited for him for a moment, but seeing that he still said nothing, the smile in his eyes immediately faded.

He glared at the man with his mouth moving, but in the end he said nothing and lowered his head to make a fire.

If you don't want to say it, forget it... Humph!

After Xia Mo turned away in disappointment, Ling Chuan suddenly realized that he had accidentally upset the little brother again. His eyes suddenly turned cold. How could this be possible!

So, he walked to Xia Mo in two steps, then sat down on a low stool, turned his head to look at the boy who was looking at the stove, and said, "Ze'er, Sister Qi was here just now."

"Ah?" Xia Mo turned around in surprise, "Sister-in-law is here? Where is she?"

Ling Chuan nodded, "She came to look for you, but when she saw me coming back, she said a few words at the door and left."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Xia Mo's eyes rolled slightly, thinking that Qi Shi should not have anything important to do, otherwise she would not have left before seeing him. But in order to avoid making the atmosphere so weird, he asked casually, "Did she say what it was?"

But he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, Ling Chuan's expression became extremely heavy and serious.

"Huh?" Why are you so surprised? Could it be related to him?

Wait... There seemed to be a sudden flash of lightning in Xia Mo's mind, and his pupils dilated slightly, as if he had grasped the tail of something.

Could it be that thing?

Thinking of this, Xia Mo's handsome brows frowned instantly, but before he could open his mouth, Ling Chuan confirmed it for him.

"She's a little worried about you, afraid that you'd listen to those rumors." His deep voice was mixed with an unignorable coldness.

This is indeed what happened!

Xia Mo's eyes moved slightly, and then he immediately thought of the man's expression suddenly becoming cold. He couldn't help but wonder if this man had listened to those rumors and misunderstood him?

“Those are all fake!”

Xia Mo raised his eyes and glanced at Ling Chuan. Seeing that there was no other emotion in his eyes, he added: "The innocent are innocent. Even if I look at something as ugly as Wang Mazi, I'm afraid it will burn my eyes. Brother Ling, you have to believe me. I like you like this."

Ling Chuan's brain suddenly buzzed after hearing this. What did he hear? He seemed to hear the little brother say... he liked him!

Seeing the coldness in the man's eyes disappear in an instant and his expression change from astonishment to surprise, Xia Mo smiled secretly in his heart. This could be considered a little compensation for his exaggerated behavior last night.

But despite his thoughts, he still kept a stern face, "Why, you don't believe me?"

"Of course I believe you!" Ling Chuan said, grabbing her wrist. "Ze'er, I was just angry at myself for being incompetent and letting you bear all this alone."

"Well, just believe me. Don't be angry. It's not your fault." Xia Mo nodded, his lips slightly raised, and a bright smile appeared in his bright eyes.

"Actually, I wanted to tell you about this matter after we finished breakfast, as well as about selling maltose, but since you already know it, I'll tell you first."

"Okay, Ze'er, you talk and I'm listening." Ling Chuan slowly let go of his hand and said.

Xia Mo smiled and said, "Well, actually, regarding the rumor, I roughly know who started it, but don't get angry after hearing it. Just listen to me."

Ling Chuan responded and sat up straight.

Xia Mo was satisfied.

"This was probably done by Li's mother and daughter. They had approached Wang Mazi before and gave him some money to attack me. Fortunately, I had a dagger to protect myself at the time, and he not only..."

However, before Xia Mo could finish his proud words, he was interrupted by a loud bang.

It turned out that Ling Chuan couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up suddenly, and because of his excessive force, the stool fell to the ground.

At this moment, boundless anger filled Ling Chuan's chest. He never thought that they would be so bold and reckless as to do such a cruel thing to the little brother!

If the little brother had not been lucky enough to escape the disaster, what would he see when he came back? Ling Chuan didn't dare to imagine.

"The Li mother and daughter, Wang Mazi!" Ling Chuan gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from his mouth, his red eyes full of murderous intent.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave. Fortunately, Xia Mo grabbed the corner of his clothes and stopped him, saying, "Brother Ling, calm down first. I'm fine."

Xia Mo felt sweet and helpless. He knew that Ling Chuan would be angry after he said that, but he also had his own plans.

Ling Chuan paused, then turned around and looked at the boy who was holding him with full apology, and called out in a low and hoarse voice, "Ze'er, I..."

Xia Mo sighed secretly and stood up.

He didn't say it to make him feel guilty or sorry for him, and then take all the blame on himself. He just wanted to be honest with this man step by step.

Xia Mo raised his head and looked into those angry eyes. "Brother Ling, the cause and effect of this matter are all on me. You have helped me a lot. Don't think too much... Also, there are some things I want to solve by myself."

Ling Chuan remained silent, staring at the boy for a long time before responding: "Okay, I'll listen to you, but you have to remember that I'll always be there for you."
