Xia Ran's tuition fees were all paid by Mu Hua. The two of them often contacted each other, mainly because Xia Ran took the initiative to contact Mu Hua.
Xia Ran even cried for three days because she didn't get into S University. Then, she often went to S University to ask about Mu Hua's class schedule and sneaked in. As long as there was a book signing event for Mu Hua's new book, she would definitely go.
She could overcome any difficulty as long as she could get close to Mu Hua and look at him from afar.
"Okay, come home with me. It's not safe out here." Mu Hua took Xia Ran's hand and led her out of the hotel.
Along the way, Xia Ran couldn't take her eyes off Mu Hua. She couldn't get enough of him.
How could Mu Hua be so handsome? His profile was as exquisite as that of the male protagonist in a manga. He was too handsome.
"Not tired of staring at me yet?" Mu Hua asked with a smile.
"No, I'll never get tired of looking at you!" Xia Ran was Mu Hua's most fanatical fan.
She wondered if the baby in her stomach would look like Mu Hua when it was born in the future. She hoped that it would look more like Mu Hua.
When she reached the house, Xia Ran took a look at the familiar house. She was still very unhappy when she thought of Zhu Qian being inside. If Zhu Qian wanted to anger her, she would anger Zhu Qian.
Xia Ran deliberately pretended to twist her ankle when she got out of the car. "Ah!"
"What is it?" Mu Hua asked, immediately worried.
"Mu Hua, I think I twisted my leg. Carry me in!" Xia Ran wheedled.
Mu Hua said helplessly, "How can you be so careless? Come on, I'll carry you."
Xia Ran watched as Mu Hua squatted down in front of her. His broad back made her feel the security of a mature man. She lay on it happily and wrapped her arms around Mu Hua's neck.
Zhu Qian was texting on her phone in the living room. When she heard the door open, she immediately deleted the message and put her phone aside.
"Mu Hua, are you back?" She could see Mu Hua walking in with Xia Ran on her back.
Xia Ran was back, and Mu Hua had carried her in?
Zhu Qian was immediately annoyed. How did they reconcile in just one night?
Last night, Mu Hua said that he wanted to divorce Xia Ran as soon as possible. Today, he went to bring that little girl back. It was obvious that this little girl was very important to him.
However, Zhu Qian still pretended not to see it and forced a smile.
"Yes, I went to pick up Xia Ran," Mu Hua said bluntly.
Xia Ran deliberately greeted loudly, "Yes, Mu Hua went to pick me up. I forgave him!"
Zhu Qian clenched her fists tightly. She had the urge to curse, but she couldn't. She had to continue pretending to be understanding. "It's good that you're back. Don't be so willful in the future. Mu Hua can't stand you anymore."
Xia Ran could hear the mockery in Zhu Qian's words. She endured it and deliberately said to Mu Hua, "Mu Hua, my ankle hurts. Can you apply some medicine for me?"
"Okay, sit tight. I'll go get the medicine box." Mu Hua put Xia Ran down and sat down before going to get the medicine box.
Xia Ran looked at Zhu Qian. Why did she feel like Zhu Qian could see her and was even staring at her?
That gaze was so vicious!
Soon, Mu Hua returned with the medicine box. He gently applied the medicine for Xia Ran. Zhu Qian saw this scene and was furious.
"Mu Hua, why don't you send me back? If Xia Ran can't accept me, then…" Zhu Qian spoke again. This time, she was deliberately targeting Xia Ran.
Was she afraid that Xia Ran would hurt her again when Mu Hua was not at home?
Xia Ran was furious. "Don't talk nonsense. You were the one who—"
"Look at her. She's so fierce. I know you don't like me, but I don't want to argue with you. After all, I'm so much older and more rational than you," Zhu Qian said aggrievedly. "The main thing is that I don't want Mu Hua to be troubled."
"Zhu Qian, you're too much. What are you pretending for?!" Xia Ran was so angry that she wanted to curse.
Mu Hua spoke up unhappily. "Stop fooling around. Xia Ran, go upstairs and rest for a while."
Xia Ran could only swallow her words because she had just promised Mu Hua that she would be obedient and not make things difficult for him.
She didn't want to start another argument right after they made up.
"Hmph!" Xia Ran was very angry. She didn't expect Mu Hua to still not believe her and really think that she had harmed Zhu Qian!
She got up and limped upstairs without letting Mu Hua help her.
As he watched Xia Ran go upstairs, Mu Hua's expression turned cold. He said to Zhu Qian, "Zhu Qian, Xia Ran is young, but she's not a bad person. What she did previously was unintentional. It's already over. Don't target her because of this in the future."
