Day n of not wanting to be a kept man's canary

Hearing the knocking, Mu Yanxin woke up from her dream. Leng Changqing's irritable voice came from outside the door.

"Mu Yanxin, you bitch, open the door for me!"

"Mu Yanxin, hurry up! You have three seconds to open the door, or you'll regret it!"

Mu Yanxin's first reaction was to look to the side, but there was no one there. It seemed that the man was concerned about his reputation and had the sense to leave on his own. She breathed a sigh of relief.

The room was a mess, with clothes strewn about and tissues scattered all over the floor. She didn't have time to think about it and got out of bed to clean up.

Just when she thought she could fool the man outside the door by erasing the ambiguous traces, the bathroom door opened, and the man walked out naked and looking refreshed.

Mu Yan's heart was pounding in her throat.

Leng Changqing's knocking outside grew louder and louder. In a moment of panic, Mu Yanxin ran barefoot off the bed, pushed the man back into the bathroom, and closed the door.

There was no way to hide. Leng Tingye opened the door again, his face clearly saying, "Please."

Mu Yanxin helplessly clasped her hands together.

Seeing her anxious, helpless, and pitiful expression, Leng Tingye chuckled and nodded in agreement.

After calming Leng Tingye down, Mu Yanxin tidied up the room, breathed a sigh of relief, and opened the door.

Leng Changqing rushed into the room, searching everywhere for the person—on the windowsill, behind the curtains, and under the bed.

"What's wrong with you in the middle of the night?"

After searching everywhere without finding a trace, he angrily shouted, "Where the hell did you hide that wild man?"

"What are you saying? I don't understand." Mu Yanxin tried to remain calm. At this moment, she must not show any weakness.

"Stop pretending, you son of a bitch. People saw a man go into your room, and you still won't admit it."

No wonder Leng Changqing suddenly returned in the middle of the night; it turns out that someone had malicious intent behind the scenes. The Leng family appears harmonious on the surface, but they are rotten to the core.

Leng Changqing was facing away from the bathroom, and the man's blurry outline could be seen through the semi-transparent bathroom door. The doorknob turned slowly.

Mu Yanxin's heart suddenly stopped beating, her body was covered in cold sweat, her eyes dared not leave the doorknob for even a moment, her mind went blank, and she completely froze.

Leng Changqing followed Mu Yanxin's dazed gaze and saw that the bathroom light was indeed on.

"Fine! Wait till I catch that bastard and see how you try to deny it!"

Before she could react, Mu Yanxin stepped in front of the bathroom door.

Leng Changqing grabbed her and slammed her to the ground. She was now completely helpless, crying out to heaven and earth in vain. She should never have believed that man's lies.

She watched as Leng Changqing entered the bathroom, and to her surprise, the bathroom was empty, with the curtains fluttering in the breeze.

It was absolutely impossible for Leng Changqing to stick his head out and jump from the second floor.

Mu Yanxin's heart finally settled down, and she breathed in fresh air again. She stood up with difficulty.

Leng Changqing wasn't entirely convinced. "Nobody's here. What were you feeling guilty about just now?"

Mu Yanxin desperately tried to come up with an explanation; she had indeed been too nervous and had given herself away.

Mu Yanxin's eyes darted around, her face full of grievance, "I was on my period and hadn't had time to deal with it yet, so I didn't want you to see!"

The toilet was full of blood, probably left by Leng Tingye treating his wounds.

"Then how could someone say they saw a man enter your room?"

Mu Yanxin clutched her stomach, feigning pain, her bright eyes filled with tears. "I'm on my period, and you not only don't come back, but you also believe what others say, and instead of believing me, you frame me!"

He had nowhere to vent his anger and was already quite irritable. Seeing the woman crying made him even more annoyed. "Enough! Stop disgusting me. If you're not feeling well, go see a doctor. Don't play the victim in front of me."

"The only person I've ever loved is An'an. Don't be delusional and think I'll be considerate of you."

After he finished speaking, the study door was slammed shut, and the sound of the door being locked could be heard.

Finally, the world returned to the silence of night. Bloodstains were visible on the snow-white sheets, leaving behind ambiguous traces everywhere.

If Leng Changqing had just glanced at her, he would have been able to tell that what she had just said was a complete lie.

Wild Gate.

Zhou Shuang re-bandaged Leng Tingye's wound, her face contorted with grief, "Master Ye, you took too much risk tonight. If the bullet hadn't been removed in time, you probably would have..."

"I'm not dead yet, look at your pathetic state."

Zhou Shuang burst into laughter through her tears, "You've survived such a calamity, you're sure to have good fortune in the future!"

Leng Tingye winced in pain, "Go easy on me, you bastard!"

"I'll be gentle, I'll be gentle!" Zhou Shuang said skillfully as he removed the blood-stained gauze and looked at the man, whose face was pale from blood loss, saying, "How could you have lost so much blood?"

Leng Tingye curled his lips, "I did it!"

Last night's ordeal was too intense; it's no wonder there was bleeding, especially after jumping from the second floor.

With the gauze wrapped around his back, Zhou Shuang exclaimed in surprise, "Master Ye, your back..."

The man's tall and strong back was covered with scratches of varying depths.

Leng Tingye frowned, "If you scream again, I'll turn you into a ghost right now."

Zhou Shuang quickly covered her mouth; it was clearly a woman's hand that had scratched her. Driven by curiosity, Zhou Shuang couldn't help but ask, "What exactly happened between you and Miss Mu in the room?"

"Want to know?" Leng Tingye smiled.

"Hmm, I want to..." Zhou Shuang suddenly realized that Leng Tingye's tone was not right. Looking at his eyes, she knew that if he asked again, it would kill him. She changed the subject and forced a smile, "I want you to get better soon."

After holding back for a moment, Zhou Shuang finally blurted out, "Master Ye, is this the third time you've done 'that' with Miss Mu..."

Leng Tingye said impatiently, "If you keep talking nonsense, I don't mind having another mute assistant."

Zhou Shuang grinned, revealing a cheeky expression, "You're not addicted, are you?"

To avoid suspicion, he jumped from the second floor despite his serious injuries. He could have died if he hadn't been careful, but fortunately, Zhou Shuang was already downstairs to catch him.

He was Leng Tingye, who treated his reputation like trash and didn't care about worldly opinions. So what if he was discovered?

There's no need to risk your life just to avoid suspicion.

"Just looking for a thrill, just having some fun!" Leng Tingye's tone was nonchalant, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

This behavior is exactly like the reaction after a one-night stand; there won't be a next time.

"Also, Master Ye, your love interests have been chasing you all the way to the heavens!" Zhou Shuang neatly bandaged the wound.

Leng Tingye acted as if he hadn't heard.

"Miss Lan is hosting a courtship ball, and she's after you. Will you attend?"

"Oh~" The last syllable rose in a whistle, "Of course I'll participate. I can't let them come all this way for nothing."

Judging from her expression, Zhou Shuang knew that Miss Lan was going to be in trouble again.

Mu Yanxin stayed at the Leng family's house for a few more days. During this time, she neither saw Leng Tingye nor heard any news about him.

Mu Yanxin was somewhat worried about Leng Tingye's injuries, after all, he had jumped from the second floor with serious injuries.

Mu Yanxin shook her head. What was wrong with her? He was so awful, why was she still worried about him?

The phone rang; it was Mrs. Mu calling.

"Hey! Mrs. Mu!"

The person on the other end of the phone was direct: "Want to see your brother?"

Mu Yanxin said happily, "Yes!"

"Then grant me one request."
