After Xia Ran and Xiao Tuo finished eating, it was already late.
She had to go home. Otherwise, there was nowhere to go. As much as he hated to part with her, Xiao Tuo said goodbye in a a carefree manner, so as not to make her feel uncomfortable.
When Xia Ran reached home, she found that the house was empty.
Auntie He should be cooking in the kitchen. Xia Ran was in a bad mood and went upstairs to rest alone.
As she reached the floor above, she heard voices from the second bedroom.
"Be careful," Mu Hua said.
Xia Ran was shocked. Was Mu Hua back? Why was he in the second bedroom?
The door to the second bedroom was slightly open. Xia Ran walked to the door and saw the scene inside. Zhu Qian was wearing a thin nightgown and looked very seductive. She was sitting on a chair while Mu Hua was drying her hair.
What a beautiful scene. Those who didn't know better would think they were a loving couple.
Xia Ran felt jealous and heartbroken. Even breathing became difficult.
"Mu Hua, you're the best." Zhu Qian lowered her head shyly.
"This is what I should do," Mu Hua replied calmly. Whether it was because of the car accident that caused her to lose her uterus or Xia Ran causing her to be blind now, he should be the one to bear the responsibility.
Mu Hua knew very well that Zhu Qian was an undeniable responsibility.
However, this answer sounded like a display of affection to Xia Ran. She couldn't hold it in anymore and rushed back to her bedroom before locking the door!
Since Mu Hua wanted to stay with that woman so much, he shouldn't return to the room where they belonged.
Hearing the commotion at the door, Mu Hua immediately chased after her. When he saw the master bedroom door slam shut, he knew that Xia Ran had returned.
"Ranran, open the door!" Mu Hua said patiently as he knocked.
Xia Ran didn't answer. She lay on the pillow and cried.
How could Mu Hua bring that woman home? This was the second time. The first time, Zhu Qian came on her own. She let it go. This time, Mu Hua brought her back.
Was Mu Hua going to let Zhu Qian stay here? What was with this situation of one man and two women?
"Open the door, Ranran. I have something to tell you." Mu Hua knew that Xia Ran was angry and wanted to explain.
But no matter what he said, Xia Ran didn't open the door. Instead, Zhu Qian fumbled her way out and said in a guilty tone, "Is she angry? I'm sorry, I made you guys quarrel again."
Mu Hua got a little angry. His expression was cold, as if he was deliberately saying it for Xia Ran to hear. "It's none of your business. She's too willful."
Willful? Xia Ran felt even sadder when she heard Mu Hua say that about her. In such a situation, which woman could be generous?
Should she accept it happily and sit down to become besties with Zhu Qian?
Xia Ran wiped her tears and stood up to open the door. She said angrily, "This is our home. What right does she have to live here? Am I being willful or is she going overboard?!"
Mu Hua's heart ached when he saw Xia Ran's red eyes. However, when he heard her words, the anger in his heart surged. "I bought this house!"
Xia Ran was stunned. This was the first time Mu Hua had drawn a line between their assets.
Indeed, she was a college student who had yet to graduate. If she hadn't met Mu Hua, how could she have afforded such a nice house?
All along, she had been living like a parasite.
Xia Ran felt uncomfortable. She turned around and took her phone. She held back her tears and looked up at Mu Hua stubbornly. "Okay, this is the house you bought. It's not mine. Let her stay now. I'll leave!"
Then she rushed downstairs.
Mu Hua instinctively wanted to chase after her, but he stopped himself. "If you leave, don't ever come back!"
Xia Ran stopped in her tracks, but then she sped up.
So be it. There was no place for her in this house anyway.
When he heard the door close downstairs, Mu Hua's anger reached its limit. He pulled off his tie in frustration and paced.
Zhu Qian saw all of this, but pretended not to. She asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Mu Hua, did Xia Ran get angry and run out? Hurry up and chase after her. It'll be troublesome if anything happens."
"Forget her! She has become quite spoiled. I indulged her too much!" Mu Hua was in a fit of anger, so he spoke harshly. "Let her go out and experience the world, or she won't know how lucky she is!"
