Chapter 89 Deviating from the Track

  There was a rustling sound behind him, and the snow fell in a flurry as he hastily turned around.

  Cang Mu walked right past her without even a glance and entered the dressing room.

  She should have said thank you, but before she could gather her thoughts, he flashed before her eyes and disappeared again, leaving her alone there, wavering.

  Should she say it? Should she say it? Although he had hurt her like that...

  She was still hesitating there, but he took out a change of clothes again, with the same expression, treating her as an invisible person.

  Snow fell before he saw him come out of the house door, and hurriedly opened his mouth: "Uh... clothes, thank you..."

  He hesitated for a moment and replied faintly: "It was Aunt Cui who asked me to buy it..."

  After finishing speaking, he went into the bathroom, leaving Xue Luo alone there in a daze.

  Cang Mu stood under the lotus flower head, allowing the water to rush down from above, washing his entire body. In his mind, he recalled what Cui Niang had said to him last night.

  "Mu, do you have someone you like?"

  At that time, he was surprised why Cui Niang would ask such a question.

  "I know Jing Sa has been following you for many years, and I also know that Xue Luo is not the kind of girl you like, but... you're already married, I don't want to see you like this..."

  "Aunt Cui, you're worrying too much..."

  "Don't think I don't know anything! Mu, some things, I'm still clear about... Your adoptive father may not have said anything to me, but I know he has something on his mind. He can use me to force you into marriage, regardless of whether you're willing or not..."

  Cui Yi paused for a moment, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at Cang Mu sitting beside her.

  She first saw him when he was five years old, and for some reason, she took a liking to the child at once. Without much communication, it seemed as if they had an inexplicable connection. And he, who was cold and indifferent to everyone else, stuck only to her.

  All these years, she has been treating him as her own child.

  "Mu, I can't help you with anything, but I hope... My Mu, live happily..." She reached out and stroked his handsome face.

  Sometimes you can't choose your fate, you can't resist or reverse it, and you can't change it. All you can do is silently endure, and be changed silently.

  He didn't say a word, but pulled down Cui Yi's hand and grasped it tightly in his palm.

  "Mu, with your current status, you can't afford to make even the slightest mistake. However, if you're really unhappy... then let's just part ways."

  Forget it, let her go, that annoying woman.

  But whenever he thought of her smiling at another man, whenever he thought of her harmonizing with that person, whenever... she was under another person's body, writhing in pleasure, his heart felt suffocated and tight, as if his breath was stifled.

  If it weren't for that person, he could have let her go, but precisely because of that person, he said he would never let go!

  Cruel or heartless, he is just a petty person, without the beauty of an adult.

  Just as she was about to fall asleep after the snowfall, the door suddenly opened and startled her into sitting up again.

  The room was pitch black, and all that could be seen was a person standing by the bed with eyes as black as ink but sparkling brightly.

  Her only reaction was to reach out to turn on the light, but he grabbed her hand.

  That strength also made her heart beat wildly at once.

  She should have been sleeping like last night, but instead she was facing him directly, staring tightly at his eyes, with a look of horror on her face that she couldn't hide.

  "Let's talk..." He suddenly spoke up, his voice suppressed.

  "What's going on?"

  Her voice was almost trembling, and she couldn't imagine what he would say next, only feeling that he made her fearful.

  "The one you love... is going to heaven..."

  He stared at her intently, not blinking once, and her heart's turmoil was all locked within his line of sight. He spoke slowly, with an expected calmness in his voice, and he clearly saw her eyes widen, her expression becoming even more fearful.

  "I'm very clear about my own identity, I don't need you to remind me!" Her voice was still trembling, but she said it firmly.

  He gazed at her for a long time, then suddenly raised the corner of his lips and revealed a faintly scornful smile: "Do you understand your own identity? What is your identity?"

  He was so close to her, every time he spoke, the warm breath filled her cheeks, she only felt her heart beating fast, and didn't dare to breathe loudly, and listening to his words, her mind went completely blank.

  Does he mean for her to do it in front of him?

  She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and her lips trembled as they touched.

  And he remained in a posture without moving, his eyes narrowed slightly, but as she approached, he stretched out his hand and pushed her away.

  Snow fell and hit the bed headboard, staring wide-eyed at the person in front of her who was already standing up straight, looking down at her with an expressionless face. No, not expressionless, his lips were curled into a mocking smile, as if watching a joke.

  "Understood! I'm not open-minded enough to let everyone in the world know that I've been cuckolded!"

  He spoke lightly and carelessly, as if it were none of his concern, yet every word was a pearl.

  He once again successfully pierced her heart.

  Seeing him turn around and leave, Xue Lie suddenly stood up from the bed: "Yes, I like him, I love him, but I didn't do anything to wrong you!"

  He turned his head to look at her because of her words, and the smile on his lips deepened: "You have to understand that your liking and loving are already a kind of infidelity..."

  There's more to come~~~
