The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

Mu Feier was taken aback, realizing that her coldness had hurt this fool.

Given her personality, she wouldn't normally bother explaining these things, but thinking back to the past...

Fearing that this fool would fake his death again, she spoke up helplessly.

"It's not what you think, and I've already given up on Ye Feng!"

"So who do you like now?" After asking hopefully, Su Qi seemed to realize it was inappropriate and added with a blush.

"If you fall for someone else, don't worry about me. In other people's eyes, I'm already a dead man."

Seeing his attitude, Mu Feier's mischievous side immediately kicked in.

"Since you've put it that way, I won't deny it. It's true that I've fallen for someone else!"

Su Qi suddenly looked up, her face deathly pale. Her lips trembled as she opened and closed them, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

After a long while, he took a step back, deliberately creating distance, and forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace.

"Really? Congratulations! Who is this person? Do I know them?"

Her voice was choked with emotion, as if she had used immense willpower to keep herself from crying.

"You may not have seen it with your own eyes, but you must have heard that he treats me very well and is willing to give me everything!"

"Is...is that so?" Su Qi's hands clenched tightly around the hem of her clothes. "You like him a lot?"

"Just as he was willing to die for me, I am willing to give my life for him!"

Upon hearing Mu Feier's words, Su Qi staggered, and tears finally streamed down his face.

"He... who is he?"

His voice was hoarse and dry.

"His name is Su Qi!"

"So it was him!" Su Qi seemed to have lost his voice, tears welling up again, streaming down his face. "Then I wish you..."

He stopped mid-sentence and stared blankly at Mu Feier.

Mu Feier reached out with a look of disgust and wiped away his tears.

"Why do you cry so much? Who can you protect like this?"

Su Qi remained motionless, letting her wipe away his tears. It took him a long time to come to his senses, and he asked in disbelief.

"Who is the person you like?"

"Su Qi, you bastard who faked your death to deceive me!"

Upon hearing the definite answer, Su Qi's originally sad and dejected expression instantly brightened, turning from cloudy to sunny.

In his extreme excitement, he suddenly pounced on Mu Feier and knocked her down.

"Fei'er, I'm so happy!"

Looking at Mu Feier's helpless and speechless face, he pursed his lips and tentatively asked.

"Fei'er, can I kiss you? Just... just one kiss!"

Carefully raise one finger.

Mu Feier was even more speechless. Who would do something like this and then seek the woman's opinion?

Meeting Su Qi's expectant gaze, she blushed slightly and looked away. Just when Su Qi thought she was about to acquiesce, she spoke.

"No, you have to answer a few questions for me first."

"Huh?" Su Qi was taken aback and tilted his head. "What's the problem?"

He appeared innocent and naive on the surface, but alarm bells were already ringing in his mind.

His sixth sense told him that danger was imminent.

"You said you drove me away because you were afraid of being suspected?"

Su Qi nodded.

Mu Fei'er's eyes narrowed, revealing a murderous aura.

"Then why didn't you drive Chu Bijun away too?"

“Because I have no conflict with her!” Su Qi said without hesitation.

Then, without waiting for Mu Feier to ask, he explained.

“Fei’er and I used to be roommates, but I moved out. So, in the eyes of outsiders, it looks like there was some kind of conflict between us. Therefore, I have a legitimate reason to have a conflict with you, but not with Sister Hongyu, so the same strategy cannot be used on her.”

"Then how are you going to explain your contact with her to the outside world?" Mu Fei'er's murderous aura subsided slightly.

"She told others that she wanted to use me to find out about Bai Ling and Ying Muxue."

This reason is quite reasonable: Ning Hongyu and Ying Muxue have a grudge, Bai Ling and Ying Muxue are partners, and Su Qi and Bai Ling are roommates.

Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable for Ning Hongyu to want to find out about Ying Muxue from Su Qi.

Mufier nodded, accepting the explanation, and then asked another question.

"Between me and Chu Bijun, who do you like better?"

Here comes the legendary "death trap" question!

However, Su Qi was not afraid at all and did not hide anything.

"You are who you are in front of me, but she is who she is in front of Sister Hongyu!"

Mu Feier's eyes widened in disbelief that Su Qi could be so self-righteous.

Just as he was about to throw the person away, Su Qi managed to say the next sentence in time.

"This is the choice on the surface, but if you ask me about my heart, there will always only be Fei'er!"

After saying that, he lowered his head and rubbed against me like a well-behaved kitten.

Mu Feier's anger instantly dissipated, and she shifted her body to a more comfortable position, letting out a soft hum.

"You barely passed! Next question..."

Seeing that she was about to ask more questions, Su Qi interrupted the spellcasting to avoid losing his life.

"Fei'er, I have a gift that I've wanted to give you for a long time!"

The little white fox, who had been lying limply on the chair, became excited upon hearing this.

"Here it comes, here it comes, Mother's earrings, late but finally here!"

Su Qi ignored the whispered message in his ear, took out a small red box from his pocket, and a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes.

"You might not know this, but I'm actually an orphan. I've been begging on the streets since I can remember!"

Mu Feier was taken aback and quickly raised her hand to interrupt.

"Isn't your master your mother?"

"Su Yun is just my adoptive mother!"

Mu Fei'er was surprised, nodded, and looked at Su Qi with even more pity.

“She picked me up from the street. At the time, all I had was a sachet that had been made into a pendant, and inside the sachet were a pair of earrings!”

Su Qi opened the small red box with a click.

When Mu Feier saw the pair of earrings in the box—a very ordinary style but reasonably well-made—a certain guess formed in her mind, and her pupils contracted and trembled slightly.

"My master said that the aura on these earrings is similar to mine, and they must have been left to me by my biological mother. Perhaps I can find my relatives through them. But I have searched for many years and have not found them. Perhaps she is no longer in this world? Otherwise, she would not have abandoned me in the first place!"

Du Yunyi, far away in the Eastern Region, suddenly sneezed, startling Du Hexi, who was diligently working with a pained expression, so much so that his hair stood on end.

Seeing Su Qi's sorrowful expression, Mu Feier couldn't help but feel sorry for him and reached out to pat his head to comfort him.

Su Qi was a little speechless. Shouldn't he be giving her a loving hug right now?

"I originally intended to give these earrings to my master, after all, although she was my adoptive mother, she treated me better than my biological mother!"

"But my master refused. She said that this was left to me by my biological mother, and if I were to give it away, it should be to my future life partner!"

"So... Fei'er, would you like me to help you put on these earrings?"

Even though she was usually indifferent, Mu Feier was still a woman. When she heard that Su Qi was going to give her something so important, she couldn't help but be moved to tears. She covered her mouth and nodded gently.

After Su Qi helped her put it on, she swayed from side to side and asked a question.

Why didn't you give me these earrings before?

Uh……

Another soul-searching question.

However, this did not stump Su Qi. His eyes dimmed, and he looked somewhat sad.

"Before... I didn't think you could be with me for life!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Feier instantly felt ashamed, inwardly questioning herself how she could have the nerve to ask such a question.

Did I deserve such an important gift in the past?
