Mu Ru went back to school and her days were more peaceful than ever. However, Dongfang Mo did not allow her to ride in Dongfang Jun's car. He told her that if she spent too much time with Dongfang Jun, other people might misconstrue it.
Since she could not go with Dongfang Jun, she also had to stay away from Dongfang Yu. They were also in-laws, and of course, he and Xi Muxue were married. She had to avoid suspicion.
She had been doing her best to avoid Dongfang Yu. She would never ride in Dongfang Yu's car again. She did not want to see him at all. Half a month had passed since she had been kidnapped by Nangong Xun, and she had only seen Dongfang Yu twice.
She had seen him for the first time after the incident a week ago when she had finished breakfast and was preparing to go to school. She had gone upstairs to get her schoolbag. When she reached the door of her room, she saw that the door of the adjacent room opened, and Dongfang Yu and Xi Muxue walked out.
She lowered her head and grasped the door knob as she tried to get into the room. However, because she was flustered and her palms were sweating, she was unable to open it. Dongfang Yu had walked towards her and helped her open the door.
The second time was yesterday afternoon. As she walked out of the school gate after school, she found his car parked at the school gate. She thought that he was there to pick her up. While she was wondering if it would be all right to ride with him in his car, she realized that he wasn't there to see her. Dongfang Yu walked past her and walked towards Kuang Yingying, who was walking towards the school gate.
She was slightly stunned, then she quickly turned around and walked towards the bus stop on the main road outside. Dongfang Yu and Kuang Yingying had been together for a long time. When he married Xi Muxue, she thought that he and Kuang Yingying had broken up. It seemed that he was still fooling around with Kuang Yingying in spite being a married man.
However, even after Dongfang Yu and Xi Muxue got married, he never seemed to have stopped fooling around. He was still dating his former lover, Tang Lili. He was now fooling around with Kuang Yingying. He probably didn't care whether Mu Xue found out about it.
Mu Ru left in a hurry. Someone had thrown a banana peel on the ground, but she didn't see it, so she accidentally stepped on it. She shrieked when she almost slipped. Fortunately, there was a tree in front of her. As she slipped, she held on to the tree trunk and regained her balance.
Cheng Feier, who was following behind her, saw Mu Ru and laughed. She walked up and patted her shoulder. "Hey, Xi Muru, I saw your husband just now. Ah, no. I meant your brother-in-law. He was picking up Kuang Yingying. After Kuang Yingying got into the car, they had a long kiss without even closing the car window." As Mu Ru listened to what Cheng Feier said, she unconsciously touched her dry lips. She thought about how he was actually kissing someone else, and her heart ached a little.
"Xi Muru, I'm talking to you. Did you hear me?" Cheng Feier asked when she saw that Mu Ru was walking with her head down and without saying anything. She quickly nudged Mu Ru and asked, "What's wrong? Are you deaf?" Mu Ru answered, "I heard you." Mu Ru rolled her eyes at her. "Why are you telling me this? Dongfang Yu is Xi Muxue's husband, not mine. I don't want to hear about his scandals."
Cheng Feier scoffed and said, "So boring. Aren't we women supposed to be gossiping when we're together? I'd rather talk about your brother-in-law's scandals with you than talk about your husband. But...what about your husband, Dongfang Mo? Is there anything about him that we could talk about?"
