135 Try Telling Her

Bei Shuo suddenly understood. “So, they want to come to our house and stand on the same side as the Mu family to pressure you so that you won’t make things difficult for them?”

Wasn’t this train of thought a little too strange?

Mu Ci frowned. “I’m afraid not. They never begged me, which means that they have other motives.”

“They have other motives?” Bei Shuo muttered.

Mu Ci thought about it and decided not to hide it from Bei Shuo. “Bei Le broke up with her boyfriend. Gu Ming knew that Bei Le had another man.”

“Another man?” Bei Shuo was shocked.

“Didn’t she grow up with Gu Ming? The Gu Family and the Bei Family were engaged before they were born. Back then, when I went back, Bei Le was very worried that I would snatch her engagement because—” Bei Shuo was the one who was betrothed before she was born.

“The reason why she actively instigated my parents to marry me into the Mu Family was mainly because she was afraid that I would get in the way of her and Gu Ming. I heard from the servants at home that she will be engaged to Gu Ming when she turns 20 this year. The Gu Family values her very much and Gu Ming is very obedient to her. Why would she have another man?”

Mu Ci played with Bei Shuo’s hair and slowly told her about his encounter with Gu Ming at the clubhouse.

“That clubhouse is the Mu Family’s property. Mu En has a few fixed rooms there. Gu Ming guarded downstairs for the entire night. Bei Le did spend the night there. However, Gu Ming didn’t see who Bei Le was with. He only heard from the rumors that it was Mu En’s harem…”

Bei Shuo sat up straight in shock. “You mean Bei Le and Mu En?”

Mu Ci looked at her and hesitated. “There’s no concrete evidence. It’s just that Bei Le must have another man.”

Bei Shuo found it unbelievable. She muttered, “What’s going on? What a mess.”

Mu Ci pinched Bei Shuo’s round earlobe. “So, many things aren’t as simple as they seem.”

Bei Shuo nodded subconsciously. “Just like Dr. Li. He’s a well-loved teacher, but he tampered with your condition. I only have a feeling and no evidence.”

Mu Ci reached out and hooked her neck, pulling her closer to him. While she was distracted, he kissed her on the cheek.

Bei Shuo didn’t dodge. Instead, she hugged him and buried her head in the crook of his neck. “Brother, the people outside are too complicated. I don’t like them!”

Mu Ci was speechless. She reached out and patted her back gently to comfort her.

A moment later, Bei Shuo let go of Mu Ci and sat up straight. “Brother, what should we do now?”

Bei Shuo was a strong grass!

Mu Ci felt both heartache and relief.

He looked at Bei Shuo. “I’m sorry. I’m the one who caused you to fall into such a complicated situation. I…”

Bei Shuo covered his mouth and smiled. “Brother, what are you talking about? We’re husband and wife. Why do you need to say sorry? We should help each other! Protect each other! Let’s deal with those bad people together!”

Mu Ci held her hand and kissed her palm.

Bei Shuo was ticklish. She laughed and retracted her hand.

Mu Ci sighed softly. “You have been protected by your master and senior brothers since you were young. Now that you’re by my side, I want to give you the same protection as them and let you be carefree. But from the first day, you’ve been working hard for me. It makes me feel very sorry for you.”

Bei Shuo feigned anger. “Alright, don’t say such things again. You’re not allowed to say such things in the future! Master and Senior Brothers won’t protect me forever. Don’t think that way. I don’t like conniving people and the environment, but I can’t run away either! I have to face what I have to face. How can I be on guard against them forever? Don’t you think so?”

Mu Ci couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. What did he do to deserve such a good girl?

He had to cherish her.

He nodded lightly. “Alright, then we’ll face it together.”

“Hmm, that’s more like it. Then tell me how we should deal with the ladies downstairs.” Bei Shuo was in high spirits.

She didn’t cause trouble and didn’t like to be nosy, but she wasn’t afraid of trouble and didn’t hide from it. Once she decided to do it, she would face it with 100% seriousness.

The more Mu Ci knew about Bei Shuo, the more he liked her and felt comforted by her.

“Bei Shuo, I don’t want to chase them away. I want to see what they’re up to,” Mu Ci said honestly.
