Chapter 38: Accident that night

"I will be going out for awhile."
Mu Xiaotong said to Qin Yu in a flat voice, and then put a plate of prepared chocolates in her hand, "Help me take these upstairs to Ling Yue. He wants to eat them."
Qin Yu glanced at the chocolates in the plate, San Shao didn't like these sweet and greasy things since he was a child, but that's all, maybe he has liked them during this time.
Mu Xiaotong looked down at the text message on the phone, pressed her lips tightly, took a deep breath, and said, "I might not be back for dinner. If Ling Yue waits for me, tell him not to wait."
After speaking, she immediately turned and left in a hurry.
"Where are you going?" Qin Yu couldn't help but asked her looking at her back.
During these hours, this Mu Xiaotong got along well with San Shao, and she also respected her three points, but she seemed a little strange today.
Mu Xiaotong stopped, did not turn around, and said directly to her: "The Mu family has an appointment with me. I will be back later."
Qin Yu frowned, "No matter how complicated your Mu family is, you must never do things that are sorry for the Third Young Master. The Third Young Master is very attached to his own things." She exhorted.
She had also heard that Mu Xiaotong overthrew her sister a few days ago, causing her to almost miscarry. The people of the Ling family will not interfere in this matter. As long as the conflict of interest has nothing to do with the Ling family, Mu Xiaotong will not ask how the Ling family does.
However, if Mu Xiaotong did something that was sorry for the Third Young Master, as long as it was a little bit, the Ling family would not let her go. Especially her childhood sweetheart, the Ling family didn't allow her to be entangled with that man, and the third master would not forgive her for betrayal.
"I know I am already Ling Yue's wife." She said lightly, and left without staying.
Regardless of whether Ling Yue is sick or not, his thoughts so exclusive in his heart are all the same paranoia. He asked her seriously just now whether she should deal with Mu Xiaopei's child.
In his opinion, betrayal is an unforgivable crime, even an innocent child cannot let it go. So she couldn't imagine what would happen to this man if she really did something extraordinary?
Mu Xiaotong didn't think that Ling Yue loved him, his personality was too rational, his rationality was almost ruthless, and he had a lot of emotional thoughts that he didn't understand. So he only said what he wanted to say and did what he thought was right.
"It is estimated that he knew that he ran out and was about to lose his temper again. This man is really hard to serve." Mu Xiaotong got into the driver's car and muttered to herself.
"Mrs. Sanshou, where are we going?" the driver asked.
"Sakura Western Restaurant."
Mu Xiaotong's eyes turned to the car window, and her brain couldn't help flashing past memories. The Sakura Western Restaurant in City A used to be her favorite place for Song Ruchen.
Looked down at the text message on the phone.
Song Ruchen sent it to her, she didn't want to pay attention to them, but...
Hitomi, Xiao Pei’s child is very good, so don’t worry. Remember Sakura Western Restaurant? Can you come here? I have something to tell you, I will always be here waiting for you. Hitomi, I'm sorry.
Sorry?
She closed her eyes, these three words are so heavy, do you think I can forgive your betrayal by saying these three words?
However, she still wanted to know, so she decided to meet him.
"welcome."
Mu Xiaotong looked at the layout of the Sakura Western Restaurant, everything was exactly the same as when she hadn't gone abroad. There was a sneer at the corner of her lips, the original feeling is like this.
She had just walked a few steps into the restaurant and had already found the person's position. Just like in the past, she can always find him quickly and be attached to him.
Song Ruchen still loved white shirts as before, and he looked very refreshed, with a touch of literary spirit. It makes people feel relaxed and comfortable to get close to him, as gentle and considerate as his personality.
He seemed to feel something, he turned around abruptly, and then he was taken aback, and pulled out a reluctant smile, "You are here." Even his voice seemed to be as gentle as before.
Mu Xiaotong half dropped his eyes, responded faintly, and walked to the seat beside him to sit down.
"I ordered tiramisu and iced orange tea for you. The desserts here are still the same as before. Try it." With a smile on his face, he reached out and took the food from the waiter and placed it gently on her before.
Mu Xiaotong stared at the tiramisu on the table with her eyes fixedly. She remembered that the cake in this store was her favorite food before, especially this kind of tiramisu.
She fell ill with a high fever in Mu's house that year. Fang Mei said that it was too late at night and could take her to the hospital tomorrow. Seeing that she had a high fever, the servant couldn't bear to call Song Ruchen. She remembered that he rushed in, wearing pajamas, rushed into her room and hugged herself to the hospital.
He was very considerate and stayed with her all night and coaxed her to tell her jokes. Song Ruchen is the kind of person who doesn't know how to express, so the joke he told that night was really cold, but she thought it was very nice.
He looked at her sick and refused to eat, so he could only come to this restaurant early in the morning and bought a tiramisu to coax her to eat.
Her eyes were a little moist, Mu Xiaotong closed her eyes, took a deep breath, raised her eyes to look at him, and said faintly: "I don't like eating this kind of food now, it's too sweet."
The smile of Song Ruchen's lips became a little stiff, he didn't know what to say, or he was not qualified to see her.
"Ling Yue, he didn't want to put sugar on chocolate, he probably influenced him." She said casually as an explanation.
He looked straight at her, hesitantly asked: "How are you doing at the Ling's house?" The voice was very light and concealed in repentance.
Mu Xiaotong's heart trembled suddenly, she didn't know what to say, her marriage to Ling Yue was a scam. She just graduated from studying abroad, and Mu Qingtian called her to return home.
At that time, she wanted to stay abroad, but he said that he returned to China because he agreed to his marriage with Song Ruchen. It was for this reason that she came back, and the wedding that could wait for her was so ridiculous.
Mu Xiaotong raised her eyes to meet him, did not answer his question just now, and asked, "Why don't you answer my call?"
Since the beginning of this year, he has not answered her calls. During the four years she lived abroad, and the previous three years, it was normal for them to keep on phone calls.
When Song Ruchen heard her mention this point in time, he suddenly seemed to think of something, his expression suddenly sank, his eyes became a little dazed but he did not answer.
Mu Xiaotong chuckled, she picked up the ice orange tea and took a sip.
He said casually: "It's because at that time, you got involved with my sister, right?"
Song Ruchen stared at the mocking on her face, only feeling dazzling. Cold sweat oozes from the palms of her hands, and she doesn't dare to look directly at her like a guilty heart.
She put down the drink and looked at him sharply, "It seems that I was right." Although she really wanted to scold him harshly, when she said the words, the original mockery turned into self-deprecating.
"In fact, people from the Song family have always disliked me because I was not favored in the Mu family, and you were with me before because you thought I was fun, right?" She pressed her lips tightly and asked.
At this moment, she really hoped that he nodded, and then disliked her identity like those dudes. In this way, she could convince herself that what he had been doing for her before was just an illusion.
"No! It was an accident." He suddenly became excited, but at the end of the story, even he himself had no confidence.
"Accident? What's the accident?" Mu Xiaotong asked, "You know my personality. I am the kind of person who will die even if I make a mistake. If you say it is an accident, then you tell me, you and Mu Xiaopei Was it an accident to go to bed?"
Her words were sharp and her voice was loud, almost shouting.
"Do you know that when I was starving and suffering abroad, I didn't dare to say a word to you. I have been working hard to get out of Mu's family and live with you in the United States. But what about you? You and me All those I said are fake! Are you fun to play with me?!"
At the last word, the tears in her eyes finally fell. She endured it for a long time, and she was very attached to what she believed. She could desperately escape from Ling's house to find him for him.
"Do you know how much I am looking forward to that wedding. Do you know that when I saw that the bridegroom was not you, I was shocked at the time! Why are you being so cruel to me? Qingtian they betrayed me!"
She didn't want to cry. She only dared to cry in front of him before because she knew that this man would love her. But now she didn't want to, Song Ruchen didn't belong to her anymore.
"Hitomi, don't cry."
He looked at a loss, looked straight at the crystal tears falling from her beautiful eyes, and stretched out his hand to help her wipe it away.
"Don't touch me, I feel sick!" She yelled at him, and stood up quickly.
"Song Ruchen, I thank you for taking care of me in the past, but all gratitude ended when you betrayed me. We broke up completely."
She stubbornly wiped away tears for herself, and looked at him stunnedly, "I really didn't think that you betrayed me and even found my sister. Depending on the situation, you have been in love for a long time. I'm really sorry. Occupied you for so long."
Song Ruchen's character, Mu Xiaotong knew best, if he didn't love her, then he would never have a relationship with her, he was a person with a strong sense of responsibility. Therefore, they had long been affectionate behind their backs, but she was too stupid to see it.
She smiled desolately at him, "Song Ruchen, let's not meet again."
"I don't love her." He looked at the back of her striding away and said softly.
But she couldn't hear anymore, even if she knew what to do, Song Ruchen lit a cigarette and frowned deeply, showing helplessness. When he knew that she was married to Ling Yue that fool by Mu Qingtian, his heart hurt more than her. That is the one he has always loved.
"The accident that night..." He leaned back weakly in the chair, looking very haggard.
