"I'm in pain..."
"Hold it in!" Mu Tianyang pushed her towards the restaurant. Wanqing staggered a bit, clearly seeing his action, and shouted, "I don't want to eat anymore!"
"What did you say?" Mu Tianyang dangerously raised his eyebrows.
She grabbed him, pleading, "I'm begging you, let's leave! I don't want to go in! I don’t want to go..." If Xue Lina saw them together, wouldn’t the fact that she sold herself be confirmed? Even if she really did sell herself, she didn’t want Xue Lina to know, nor did she want to face her mockery!
Mu Tianyang looked into the restaurant and couldn’t see the Ding family anywhere. Because Xue Lina was afraid her husband would care about Wanqing, she specifically chose a corner spot out of sight from the street, and from where they couldn’t be seen from the street.
"Alright... considering your injuries," Mu Tianyang said.
He first took her to the hospital, and after an examination, it was found that her bones were almost crushed. Mu Tianyang's lips curled into a sinister smile upon hearing this—Ding Caiyan, I didn’t step on her, yet you dared to!
After her wounds were treated, they left the emergency room. Wanqing looked reluctantly towards the hospital wards. This was where her mother was hospitalized, right upstairs. She longed to visit...
Mu Tianyang saw through her thoughts and magnanimously said, "Go up and take a look then, I’ll give you five minutes."
Wanqing hesitated, then shook her head, "Better not." If her mother was awake, seeing her like this would only cause worry.
Mu Tianyang frowned, turned, and walked away, "If you don’t want to, then never let me see that expression on your face again!"
Startled, Wanqing quickly followed, cradling her bandaged hand.
Mu Tianyang didn’t go looking for a restaurant again; instead, he went straight home.
The lights were on in the villa, which was odd to Wanqing. She remembered that during the day, there had been no one there but herself. Could it be that his family was around?
As they entered the villa, a plainly dressed middle-aged woman approached Mu Tianyang, "Sir, you’re back? I am Zhang Meifeng..."
"Got it," Mu Tianyang waved his hand dismissively, "Go make two dinners!"
"Yes," Zhang Meifeng promptly headed to the kitchen.
Mu Tianyang sat down on the sofa and said to Wanqing, "She is the new housekeeper; she will be responsible for your meals from now on. Starting tomorrow, the bodyguards Ah Cheng and Ah Hua will take turns following you. If you need to go out, have them drive you; if you want anything, have them buy it—" he paused, pondering as he looked at her, "I suppose you don’t need to go out, do you? You don’t really have anywhere to go. Just stay home then!"
"My mother—"
"Go run a bath for me," he interrupted her.
Wanqing was taken aback, struggling to react.
He raised an eyebrow, "Didn’t you hear me?"
