After arriving, Lin Qing never asked what caused Lu Xiao's accident, she only knew it was a car accident. At this moment, when she heard Ying Hao's name, her first reaction was to think of Mu Li.
Realizing that she had this thought, Lin Qing hurriedly drove away. How could it be possible? This matter had absolutely nothing to do with Mu Li. But she felt inexplicably uneasy in her heart.
Seeing that Lin Qing hadn't spoken, Xiao Ke asked again in a low voice: "Lin Qing, do you know about this?"
Lin Qing shook his head: "It's unlikely that she would go there."
Unless someone asked her out there.
Xiao Ke probably agreed with Lin Qing's words and nodded: "I think so too. She is really something. Not only did she go to Yinghao in the middle of the night, but she also ran to the middle of the road after drinking. She is capable of doing such a dangerous thing."
Xiao Ke complained and blamed in a low voice, but even so, her words were increasingly filled with worry and anxiety.
"You said she was hit when she ran into the road?" Lin Qing suddenly paused.
She knew that although Lu Xiao was a bit flamboyant, he would never run out onto the street after drinking. She was 100% sure of this.
Why did she suddenly become so abnormal? Yesterday, Lu Xiao asked for leave and went to the company to find her in the evening. Lin Qing knew it was because of the ring.
An idea suddenly flashed through Lin Qing's mind, and her whole body trembled.
It was easy for Mu Li to retrieve the company's video footage. He was so angry when he saw the ring yesterday, and he suspected that it was related to his senior. He might investigate her whereabouts for the day.
Could it be that Mu Li knew that it was Lu Xiao who put the ring in the bag, and misunderstood that Lu Xiao was trying to sow discord between them, so he attacked Lu Xiao
No, absolutely not. Mu Li is not the kind of person who would do something behind someone's back. Lin Qing warned himself again and again, but his whole body seemed frozen and unable to move.
Although Mu Li would not do that before, no one can say for sure whether Mu Li will do that now.
Mu Li held Lin Qing's hand, and her whole body was cold.
"Lin Qing! You still say you're fine?" She squeezed her hands hard, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her palms.
Lin Qing's eyes flickered for a moment, and he looked at Mu Li for a long while: "You..." He realized his voice was hoarse when he was about to say it.
Mu Li frowned and stopped her from continuing: "Come back with me. We can talk later if you have anything to say."
He held Lin Qing's hand tighter, and Lin Qing's hand curled up in his palm, giving him an inexplicable sense of security. After taking two steps, Lin Qing suddenly shook his hand away.
"No! I'll wait here... leave me alone for a while." Her voice was so soft that only the two of them could hear it.
Xiao Ke was still sitting on the bench, watching this scene without really understanding the reason. She was still thinking about Lu Xiao in the operating room, so she didn't feel like talking much. Things in rich families are inherently more complicated, and she had gotten used to it after seeing and hearing it over the years.
Few people passed by here at this time, and the spacious and long corridor became much quieter for a moment. If Lin Qing insisted on staying, he would not stop her, but he felt a chill in his heart when he thought of her cold body.
It turns out that he cares about her so much.
Mu Li's mouth curled up into a self-deprecating smile, and he naturally put the hand that was thrown away by Lin Qing back into his trouser pocket: "Okay, I have no objection if you want to stay here, but you must go downstairs to eat immediately."
He only had this one condition, and when he said it, he had a cold smile in his heart. The man who seemed to have the upper hand was actually the most pitiful. He had already put her in his heart and could not let her go easily, but what about her
Lin Qing's eyelashes trembled slightly, casting a shadow. She stood there in silence for a moment, then took two steps back. At this moment, the thought just now was still jumping in her mind, and perhaps it would not be dispelled for a while. She did not use her usual tone of asking for instructions and flattering, but just said calmly and absent-mindedly: "I'm not hungry."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a hint of mockery in Mu Li's eyes, as if he was silently mocking her.
Yes, he finally cared about her. This was a rare moment, and she should know how long she had been waiting. But now that she had finally waited, she hesitated again.
Why hesitate
Lin Qing's fingertips trembled slightly and slowly bent. She felt uneasy whenever she thought of Lu Xiao still in the operating room. That was not the place where Lu Xiao should lie. Maybe she should be the one to be punished.
"Why are you being awkward? I've already told you to come back and guard after dinner. Isn't that enough?" Mu Li took a few steps closer to her, covering her entire body in shadow.
Lin Qing choked a little, bit her lip and raised her little face: "Lu Xiao's accident... has it got to do with you?" She frowned slightly as she spoke.
It turned out that she was doubting him, so completely and thoroughly.
There was a whirlpool of darkness in Mu Li's eyes, and his gradually cold gaze fell on Lin Qing's face: "Do you think it was me who caused her accident?"
"Isn't it?" Lin Qing's tone was urgent. In fact, she wanted to hear a negative answer. She just wanted to hear him say clearly, yes, it has nothing to do with me.
However, Mu Li just stared at her without blinking, his thin lips tightly pursed.
She actually doubted him.
For just a moment, he thought he was really funny. Even if he knew that Lu Xiao put the ring in her bag, what would happen? With his temper, it would be easy for him to kill someone. Why would he do it in secret? But the key point was that she didn't believe him.
He could still remember these days, when this woman stayed by his side all day just to wait for him to believe her. She said that only trust could bring them back to the past. He believed her. But when he chose to believe her, she pulled away, and used cold words to hit his heart. He never thought that a simple question would be like a cold knife cutting through his heart, piercing him painfully.
"Do you know that she was the one who put the ring there?" Mu Li raised his eyebrows coldly.
Lin Qing thought of Lu Xiao, who was still in the operating room, and her eyes turned red: "Yes... I guessed it."
"Did you guess it, or did Chen Qudong tell you a long time ago?" Mu Li raised the corner of his lips and smiled faintly.
His smile became more and more violent, and the scarlet in his eyes became more and more obvious. Well, if Lin Qing really wanted to play this drama to be enough, he would accompany him to the end.
Lin Qing didn't understand why he kept mentioning the senior, and frowned slightly: "What does this have to do with the senior? It's just that Lu Xiao mentioned the ring before, and when I saw it last night, I didn't think it was really her who did it."
"Since you can't think of her putting the ring there, have you ever thought that she did this to provoke us?" Mu Li narrowed his eyes and stared at Lin Qing, making him inexplicably nervous.
Lin Qing lowered his head slightly and said firmly: "Lu Xiao means well. Why do you always misinterpret other people's intentions?"
Lu Xiao just wants us to reconcile. It’s not as complicated as you think.
Mu Li sneered.
"Lin Qing, you didn't believe me from the beginning." He pulled Lin Qing close to his chest with his big hands, and his eyes were cold when he lowered his head. "From the beginning, you thought I did it, so no matter what I said, you wouldn't listen, right?"
He was really slow to realize it. It took him so long to realize that the woman in front of him didn't trust him at all. She kept asking for his trust, but she didn't even want to give him a little trust. Is this fair
But there is no fairness in this world. In front of love, we are always small and insignificant.
"No...it's not like that!" Lin Qing looked up in panic to find his eyes, but could only see mockery and sarcasm there.
"Lin Qing, what kind of person am I in your heart?" Mu Li's smile deepened, but it didn't reach his eyes. "Do you think I'm a cold-blooded monster now?"
He pronounced the last two syllables of the word carefully, his eyes seemed to see through Lin Qing.
"No, no, I'm just scared..." Lin Qing didn't finish her words and bit her lips tightly. She wanted to explain, but she couldn't say anything.
It was not unreasonable for her to think so. Last night, she stood at the door of the study for a long time, and through the thick door, she still heard Mu Li's voice on the phone. Every word he said was low and angry, and it even reminded people of his terrifying expression. At that time, Lin Qing heard Lu Xiao's name coming out of his mouth, and it seemed that his tone was mixed with some kind of coldness.
Now all of them were connected, causing Lin Qing's petite body to tremble slightly. The reason why Lu Xiao was lying in the cold operating room was all because of her... all because of the man she loved.
"Afraid?" Mu Li found it even more funny. "Lin Qing, what do you have to be afraid of? You were kicked out of the house by me, you were seriously ill in bed in the rain, and you were not afraid even when you jumped into the river. But now you are afraid because of such a small thing? Where is your stubbornness?"
Every word he said pierced her heart, cutting her flesh and blood.
Mu Li still had one hand around Lin Qing's waist, and the other hand had already reached into Lin Qing's clothes. She was wearing a light blue shirt today, and Mu Li had said before that she looked good in this blue.
The big hand pinched her soft chest hard, leaving a bruise when the blush faded. He was very heavy-handed, but Lin Qing seemed to have gotten used to his ruthlessness. She thought that she had long lost track of who the person living in her heart was.
That handsome face came closer and closer, looking straight into her eyes: "Lin Qing, are you afraid now?" Are you afraid of him who is as cold as Yama
Lin Qing felt pain from his pinch and bit her lip secretly without saying a word. A blush appeared on her cheeks and the man's hot breath sprayed on her brows.
Maybe she loved him, but she didn't love him enough. Mu Li sneered in his heart.
"If you want to doubt me, then doubt me thoroughly. If you do this, I will think that you don't doubt me anymore." Mu Li's eyes were sharp. "I can tell you now that I sent someone to do this. How about it? Is it to your liking?"
The more he acted like this, the more flustered Lin Qing became. When she raised her little face, there was a slight moisture in her eyes. Although it was just a thin layer of mist, it had deeply hurt his heart.
Lin Qing became more and more silent, unable to speak the words that surged in his chest. Did she do something wrong? Although it was only a momentary doubt, it also represented her distrust of him. She shouldn't be so impulsive.
Mu Li misunderstood her silence, and after a long time he opened his thin lips slightly: "Okay, in that case, I'll leave." If the situation must turn out like today, he would rather turn back into Mu Li who had just lost his memory, without any constraints.
At least he was cruel enough at that time.
Lin Qing's waist suddenly lost its strength, and her arms hung in the air looking ridiculous. Mu Li had already turned his back to her and was walking towards the elevator at the end of the corridor. Every step was extremely heavy, but he did not look back.
Looking at his tall figure, Lin Qing's lips trembled slightly, but she never uttered the words asking him to stay.
"Lin Qing?" Xiao Ke finally dared to speak. She glanced at the bright red font of the operation indicator light, then at Lin Qing, "Aren't you going to chase after him? Maybe you misunderstood Commander Mu."
