"You are still siding with him? When brother Mu comes back, he will probably be very sad, if he know this." Shen Qiao was still struggling from her mother's grasp.
"It's.none.of.my.business!" Shen Ning gritted her teeth.
"Don't you know brother Mu is suffering from de..." Shen Qiao was interrupted again.
"His matter has nothing to do with me. If you like him so much, just go marry him yourself!" Shen Ning passed a towel and took out the bathrobe from their luggage.
"The bathroom is there. You take a bath first. I'm going to the bed." Passing the clothes in his hand.
Then she leaned over and whispered to his ear. "When you come out of the bathroom, remember to... lock the door. "
Qin Yuheng was stunned then he nodded and went to the bathroom.
They totally ignored Shen Qiao.
Shen Qiao was shocked by her sister's sudden change. She let her mother drag her out of the room.
***
Outside Shen Ning's room, Shen Qiao looked at her mother. "Mom, tell me what's wrong with sister? Why is she behaving like this? Is she forced to be good to him in front of others?"
Mother Shen frowned. "Does she look like she was pretending?"
Shen Qiao shook her head. "I don't know. I'm confused. Mom, you also know what happened to brother Mu after she left. I wanted to tell him where she went but you guys didn't agree."
By now, because of Mu Chen's condition, everyone around them already knew about there incomplete love story.
Those who know the story, confessed their feelings to the person they secretly love ignoring the fact that they were afraid of rejection. What if they became another Mu Chen or Shen Ning. They don't want to!
"Let's leave it to fate now." She really felt pity for Mu Chen.
She also felt guilty for them. If only they had told to them that Mu Chen's bethored was actually Shen Ning, maybe this wouldn't have happened.
Now, either Mu Chen or Qin Yuheng had to back down. But judging from the situation it looks it's not possible because Qin Yuheng won't back down, given how powerful he is nor Mu Chen, who is now completely obsessed with Shen Ning.
Shen Qiao returned to her room and called Lu Ziyi.
"Shen Qiao?"
"Brother Lu, where is brother Mu?" Shen Qiao sounds upset.
Lu Ziyi asked immediately. "What's wrong?"
"Today sister came back with that man."
Lu Ziyi nodded. "Yeah. I met them at the road today."
Then Shen Qiao told him everything that happened just now. "Do you think she is forced to be good to him in front of others?"
"Don't worry. Mu Chen is already on his way back." He could only hope that Mu Chen will arrive soon.
"Don't act rashly, especially in front of Shen Ning since you said she is protective of that person." He advised her before hanging up.

When Shen Ning woke up, she saw Qin Yuheng was looking at her silently. "What time is it?"
"8:30 am" He looked at his phone near the bedside table.
"Oh it's still early." She closed her eyes again. But when she felt that Qin Yuheng was still looking at her, she opened her eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Yuheng hugged her without saying anything.
"What happened? If you don't tell I won't know."
Qin Yuheng looked at her eyes. "Shen Ning, we are real couple, right?"
Shen Ning was stunned. "Of course we are. Early morning, what are you thinking about?"
Silence once again...
"You are upset because of yesterday's matter?"
No response.
"You!" She sighed.
"Don't think about any messy thoughts. We are real couple. We are married, this is a fact. It was me who was slow in this relationship." She rubbed his hair on his head, they are really soft to touch.
"That... Mu Chen..." He didn't know how to ask her about that man.
"Mu Chen is the past. I liked him and I let go even before you proposed to marry me. Understood? Don't listen to their nonsense."
"Ok." He finally smiled happily.
She kissed on his lips.
"Now let me get some more sleep." She yawned and fell asleep soon.

By the time, they woke up and came downstairs, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning.
"Come have your breakfast."
"Yes."
Qin Yuheng sat near Shen Ning.
While eating, Shen Ning heard some laughter in the living room, it faint sound. "Mom, someone came to our house?"
"Yes" Mother Shen nodded and Shen Ning didn't ask anymore.
But Shen Qiao replied. "Brother Mu, came."
Qin Yuheng hand clenched his chopsticks.
