After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

"Ah Jian?" Lou Xiao frowned, not understanding why Mu Liangyue kept staring at him even though he was standing right in front of her.

"It's raining today, why are you dressed so lightly?" he asked with concern. "And your hands are so cold..."

[Let me see where the plot is at? Wait, Mu Liangyue didn't leave on her own; it was Wang Ma who chased her away?!]

[Never mind, it doesn't matter. They all assume it was "my" instruction anyway.]

Shen Baolin got the video and hesitated whether to show it; after some more heart-wrenching events, Shen Baolin couldn't sit still any longer and decided to stop hiding it for "me"!

Lu Sijian was startled. So her lunchbox was already being heated up?

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly felt a warmth in her hand. She looked down and saw Lou Xiao cupping her hand in his palm.

She instantly bristled! Her first instinct was to fling that hand away!

[Mu Liangyue's sleeves were so dirty, and you helped her up before touching me?]

Lou Xiao froze. He was usually a clean freak, but he forgot because he was in a hurry to help the person.

Moreover, he clearly saw that Lu Sijian's mouth didn't move, so why could he hear her speaking?

What video? Pauline came today too?

He looked up towards the gate, but didn't see his cousin.

Lu Lingbai, standing beside him, looked shocked and... guilty.

Shen Baolin is Lou Xiao's cousin and Lu Sijian's best friend.

She was one of the hostages from back then. After Lu Sijian took the knife for Mu Liangyue, she dragged the thug down the building with her, which indirectly saved her life.

He once thought that Shen Baolin also hated Mu Liangyue.

But today when he went to Xishan, he saw her with Mu Liangyue.

Shen Baolin also came to the Lu family with them, but chose to stay in the car instead of sticking to Lu Sijian like before.

No one expected her to do this, so—

How did the younger sister know that Shen Baolin was also here?

The two men fell into an eerie silence for a moment.

A gust of wind blew by, and Mu Liangyue shivered.

Without hesitation, Lou Xiao took off his suit jacket and draped it over Lu Sijian.

The suit still carried his body heat. Lu Sijian paused for a moment, then wrapped herself in it with relief. "Brother Xiao, you're so warm."

She glanced at Mu Liangyue... Although the other person was dressed in thick clothes, her expression was clearly not right.

[She's probably sick... What are those two guys doing? Hurry up and move on with the plot!]

Lu Lingbo composed himself. "Jian, look, these are bamboo shoots Liangyue dug for you! The bamboo shoots from Xishan are only the freshest and most delicious from Beigaofeng Peak. She even climbed Beigaofeng Peak specially for you!"

He didn't want Mu Liangyue's feelings to be trampled on. He had misunderstood her before, but now he understood her pure and kind nature better than anyone else.

Lu Sijian's spirits lifted.

[Here it comes! Mu Liangyue's lips have come for him!]

Lu Lingbo was stunned for a moment, "...She climbed Beigaofeng Peak to pray for you and fulfill her vow."

The housekeeper, Aunt Ye, exclaimed in surprise, "So Miss Mu also went to the Flying Stone! I heard that's the most effective place to pray for blessings!"

"North Peak is incredibly difficult to climb; one wrong step and you'll plummet into the abyss! No wonder Miss Mu was injured..."

"You're injured?" Lu Sijian asked, feigning surprise. "You've really gone through a lot!"

Mu Liangyue forced herself to stand up straight: "It's no trouble at all. You saved my life, and I can never repay you enough!"

She truly kept her word, and for the past three years, no matter how much she was complained about or criticized, she came to take care of Lu Sijian without fail, rain or shine.

Even though Lu Sijian no longer needs her and has kicked her out of the Lu family, she has no resentment and actively works for Lu Sijian's sake.

Immediately, all the servants present cast approving glances at her.

The Lu family is not short of money; they can buy anything they want. But this sentiment is the most precious thing.

“Authentic Xishan bamboo shoots are very rare, thank you.” Lu Sijian pretended to be hesitant for a moment, “but I can’t accept them.”

The warm atmosphere instantly froze.

"Why?" Lu Lingbai clenched his fists. He knew she would deliberately make things difficult for him!

Because the domineering CEO won't allow it!

As his inner thoughts resonated, Lou Xiao also spoke coldly.

“Because A-Jian cannot eat bamboo shoots. Bamboo shoots contain a lot of oxalic acid and tannic acid, and are also a cold food. A-Jian is currently weak, and the doctor said she cannot eat them.”

Lou Xiao paused for a moment, "The domineering CEO won't allow it?" Was he referring to him?

"I'm sorry, I didn't know..." Mu Liangyue's expression was blank. "I'll definitely pay attention to food properties next time..."

Lou Xiao's expression was stern: "You've taken care of A-Jian for three years, how could you make such a basic mistake?"

Mu Liangyue was extremely embarrassed: "I was wrong, but I really didn't mean to harm Miss Lu."

In the silence, Lu Lingbo said jokingly, "It was clearly A-Jian who said she wanted to eat. Since the doctor gave the instructions, A-Jian should have known. Why couldn't she resist and started eating so greedily?"

[Oh wow, they're after me? Great, my chance has come!]

Lu Sijian asked softly, "Second Brother, are you blaming me?"

She gave a wry smile, "It's my fault, my body is so weak, otherwise I wouldn't have let Liangyue down..."

She clutched her chest, her breathing becoming rapid, "I'm sorry..."

Lou Xiao supported her, his heart clenching: "It's not your fault."

What do you mean her body is weak? She is clearly healthy and intelligent, with a bright future ahead of her.

But because of Mu Liangyue, all of this was destroyed.

Lou Xiao felt an urge to tear Mu Liangyue to pieces whenever he thought about the despair he felt outside the emergency room.

Lu Sijian leaned weakly against Lou Xiao's chest, "Brother Xiao, I want to go back to my room."

"Okay, I'll take you back to your room to rest."

Since she woke up, this was the first time she had relied on him so much. Lou Xiao's heart softened, and he helped her prepare to leave.

Turning his head, his gaze towards Mu Liangyue was icy cold. "Since you know you're wrong, why don't you get lost!"

Mu Liangyue's face turned ashen instantly, and her body swayed precariously.

[Beep, a change in character's favorability has been detected; dislike value +2.]

Lu Sijian's eyes lit up: [Pretending to faint before the female lead does, so she gets scolded—that's easy!]

Lu Lingbai's eyes turned cold. Sure enough, she did it on purpose!

[Beep, a change in character's favorability has been detected; dislike value +3.]

Lu Sijian thought about it for a moment, and realized that this was too easy to swipe.

So all your previous concern was just an act? How could you be so calculating? No wonder you went crazy and ended up in a mental hospital.

[Can't your sister just be a little gluttonous? She also wants to eat crayfish, hot pot, barbecue, and milk tea, so she just complained to Shen Baolin. Who knew Shen Baolin would tell Mu Liangyue?]

The anger that had just risen in Lu Lingbai's heart was inexplicably extinguished.

Will he go insane and end up in a mental hospital? Is this his fate?

What does this have to do with Shen Baolin?

[You dared to be sarcastic towards me? I'm not telling you, but in less than ten minutes, you'll be breaking a bone!]

Lu Lingbo didn't believe it at all. He was perfectly fine at home, how could he have broken a bone?

Lou Xiao carried Lu Sijian into the elevator, and the elevator doors closed.

Mu Liangyue could no longer hold on and suddenly collapsed.

"Cool Moon!"

"Miss Mu!"

When Lu Lingbai touched her forehead, he was startled by the heat. He didn't care about anything else and hurriedly picked up Mu Liangyue and walked out.

The elevator was occupied, so he decided to take the stairs down.

The moment his foot slipped, Lu Lingbai was startled and quickly protected Mu Liangyue.

He heard a soft "click," followed by a dizzying sensation as the world spun around him.

When they stopped, Lu Lingbai glanced at Mu Liangyue, who was on top of him, and thankfully she was alright.

"Second Young Master!" Aunt Ye rushed over to help him, and Lu Lingbai gasped as a piercing pain shot through him.

My ankle was visibly swollen.

Lu Lingbai suddenly remembered Lu Sijian's heartfelt words.

It seems he really did break his leg at home...
