"I'm alright," Xi Muchen said, his heart instantly soothed by the sight of her rushing towards him without a care in the world. But then he couldn't help feeling a bit scared, "Fool, why did you just run in like that? What if something had hit you?"
"It was you the old man was hitting, why would it hit me?" That being said, when Xia Wanwan had charged in, she really hadn't thought that much about it.
The angry Xi patriarch could not stand to hear Xi Muchen and Xia Wanwan acting as if nothing had happened and displaying affection right in front of him. He directed his rage towards Xia Wanwan, "Get out! Who allowed you to eavesdrop on our conversation? Who allowed you to come in?"
"I wasn't eavesdropping. You were speaking so loudly that anyone passing by outside could hear..." She had simply returned home and He Juan had anxiously told her that the old master might be arguing with Muchen, so she just wanted to come and see. But who knew their conversation would be so loud.
