Seeing the other party's gloomy expression, Xu Xiuwen asked: "Are you worried about that person?"
Mu Zhilan was stunned, then shook her head.
"Then why are you like this?"
Mu Zhilan hesitated for a moment and said, "I just feel sorry for you. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be hurt."
As she spoke, her eyes began to moisten again.
Looking at Mu Zhilan lowering her head and wiping the corners of her eyes.
Xu Xiuwen suddenly felt distressed.
He hesitated for a moment, then walked forward and hugged Mu Zhilan.
Mu Zhilan's body trembled, but she did not struggle or resist. Instead, she leaned obediently in his arms.
Xu Xiuwen lowered his head to look at the top of Mu Zhilan's head and said, "Sister Mu, I don't blame you for what happened tonight. I have never blamed you either."
Mu Zhilan's heart trembled when she heard this.
She looked up at Xu Xiuwen.
The latter's expression was very sincere.
She suddenly felt something strange in her heart.
She didn't dare to think too much and lowered her head again.
Xu Xiuwen said gently: "Don't cry, you have shed enough tears."
Mu Zhilan nodded, and then kept wiping the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand.
Wait until Mu Zhilan calmed down a little.
Xu Xiuwen took the initiative to let her go, and then said: "Well, it's getting late, I'm leaving, you should also go to bed early."
"Um."
Xu Xiuwen turned and walked out.
Mu Zhilan mustered up the courage to look at Xu Xiuwen's back.
As he was about to leave the office.
Mu Zhilan suddenly couldn't help asking: "Why did you... do that at that time?"
"What?" Xu Xiuwen turned around and looked over.
"Nothing... Nothing..."
Mu Zhilan suddenly regretted it again.
Xu Xiuwen repeated, "You asked me why I did that? Why did I block the knife for you?"
Didn't I hear it? Mu Zhilan thought.
So she didn't deny it.
Xu Xiuwen smiled and said, "No reason. When I saw him coming towards you, I subconsciously wanted to protect you."
Mu Zhilan's face suddenly turned red.
She mustered up her courage again, looked up at Xu Xiuwen, and asked, "Why are you so nice to me?"
"Because you are my sister." Xu Xiuwen said with a smile.
For some reason, Mu Zhilan didn't seem very happy after hearing this answer.
She nodded lightly and whispered, "I understand."
Without giving Xu Xiuwen a chance to speak, she said, "Go home quickly."
"Then I'm leaving."
Then Xu Xiuwen left.
After leaving Ruowen Building, Xu Xiuwen drove to Liu Ruo's house.
I originally came to see Liu Ruo, and stopped by Ruowen Tower on the way.
I didn't expect so many things to happen.
Xu Xiuwen carried the key to Liu Ruo's house.
He opened the door with his key, changed into slippers, turned on the light, and walked into the living room.
There was no one in the living room.
Xu Xiuwen came to the bedroom door.
"Knock knock knock~" Xu Xiuwen reached out and knocked on the door.
"Xiao Xu?"
Liu Ruo's voice came from the bedroom.
"Aunt Liu, it's me." Xu Xiuwen responded.
"Why are you here? Come in quickly."
Only after getting permission did Xu Xiuwen open the door and enter the room.
The bedroom was no different from when Xu Xiuwen left in the morning.
Liu Ruo was still lying on the bed, but leaning lightly against the bedside table.
"Xiao Xu, why are you here?" Liu Ruo asked again.
She had a smile on her face and looked quite kind and gentle.
Xu Xiuwen replied: "I came to see you, Aunt Liu. I could have come earlier, but I went to the store and something unexpected happened, so I came late."
The smile on Liu Ruo's face suddenly stopped.
"Something happened in the store?"
Xu Xiuwen hesitated for a moment, then told Liu Ruo what had happened in the store.
The reason why he did not hide it from Liu Ruo was mainly because he considered that there was no need to hide it and it would not last long.
As long as Liu Ruo goes back to work, she will know soon.
Might as well tell her sooner.
After hearing this, Liu Ruo became very angry.
She couldn't help but ask, "Why is Sister Mu's husband so bad? What right does he have to come to our store to cause trouble because of what happened between him and Sister Mu?"
"Okay, it's all over, Aunt Liu." Xu Xiuwen comforted with a wry smile.
Liu Ruo was still quite resentful after hearing this.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You're home alone today, are you okay?"
Liu Ruo hummed.
"Have you had dinner yet?"
Liu Ruo originally wanted to say that she had already eaten, but for some reason, she suddenly didn't want to say that.
She didn't speak.
Xu Xiuwen did indeed misunderstand.
"Aunt Liu, you didn't go without eating all day, did you?" Xu Xiuwen asked nervously.
Liu Ruo blushed as she explained, "I have difficulty moving."
Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but said, "I told you this morning that I would find someone to take care of you for a day, but you insisted that you could do it alone. As a result, you didn't even have a meal for the whole day. Aunt Liu, what can I say to you?"
There was unconsciously a hint of blame in his tone.
Liu Ruo explained with a little grievance: "I thought I could do it..."
Xu Xiuwen sighed helplessly.
"I really can't do anything with you. Just wait, I'll go cook for you now. What do you want to eat? You can tell me."
Liu Ruo said: "Just order a bowl of noodles."
“That’s so unnutritious.”
"It's okay. I'm not really hungry." Liu Ruo said carefully.
"Oh, there's nothing I can do about you. Why are you acting like a child?"
After Xu Xiuwen finished speaking, he prepared to walk out of the bedroom and go to the kitchen to feed Liu Ruo.
As a result, Liu Ruo suddenly called him.
"Xiao Xu..."
"Hmm?" Xu Xiuwen turned and looked over.
"No... It's okay."
If it were an ordinary young person, he might have been cheated.
