Mu Li's heart sank: "What nonsense are you talking about? If not with me, who else do you want to be with?"
"But now I am no longer..."
"Nothing?" Mu Li interrupted her.
Lin Qing lowered her eyes and didn't say anything. Just now, after Mu Li left the room, she saw the bag on the bedside. It should be the bag that Xiao Ke handed over to Mu Li after the accident that day. Her mobile phone was also placed next to the bag. Lin Qing hesitated and reached out to take it.
When she looked at it, she saw the automatically pushed news, which included the one about Mu Li.
What is coming will come, and she doesn't want to hide anymore.
She was not Mu Li's wife, at least not in name, and she couldn't stand this alone. She didn't have high demands for love, but she would never let her identity become a third party. Now that the Mu family had made this decision, it was undoubtedly pushing her away from Mu Li.
When Mu Li pushed her away before, she could still say with confidence that I am your wife, but now she can't say it anymore.
Lin Qing felt as if the world was spinning around her. In just a few short days, she and he were no longer in the same world.
Mu Li felt the woman's slight trembling, her fingers gradually tightened on his shoulders, she must be very uncomfortable, maybe she has cried. But Mu Li was held by her and couldn't turn around, so he couldn't see her face.
Just this moment made him a little anxious.
He was too nervous about this woman, to the point of being hopeless.
"How dare you let your imagination run wild again?" Mu Li's voice sank and he shouted coldly.
Lin Qing's shoulders were shaking even more violently, and the alcohol bottle in his hand was not picked up, and the alcohol spilled all over his hands.
The strong smell of alcohol overflowed, and Lin Qing couldn't stand it immediately. Her stomach was empty, and she dry-heaved twice and quickly put the bottle aside.
Mu Li turned around and grabbed Lin Qing, patting her back. She was so thin that you could feel her obvious bones even through her pajamas.
Lin Qing naturally didn't spit out anything. His face turned pale, and the little strength he had accumulated was completely gone. He could only lean on Mu Li weakly.
Mu Li’s embrace was warm, but her nose felt sore.
"That was my parents' idea. I didn't intend to do anything so drastic to them. I'll explain it to them after a while." Mu Li explained to himself, feeling inexplicably nervous.
Lin Qing's eyes darkened: "Why would they do this?"
"The Liang family kept holding on to the miscarriage, saying that I had a mistress outside and that my work style was problematic, and they wanted to take away my power." Mu Li's statement was simple, but no one knew how much effort he had put in to suppress the matter over the past few days.
Although the Mu family's statement also played a role, it would be useless if it wasn't for him. And he didn't want Lin Qing to know these.
When she heard about the power seizure, Lin Qing was slightly stunned. She didn't expect the situation to be so serious. Little did she know that those people were just using this excuse to stab Mu Li, and the miscarriage just happened to hit the target.
Mu Li thought about this matter caused by his parents for a few days, and there was really no way to solve it in a short time. He could only wait for a while until everything calmed down, and then let Xu Yuan withdraw from this matter completely.
The best way is to send Xu Yuan abroad.
But will Xu Yuan agree? Can Lin Qing bear it
Mu Li was having a headache thinking about it. If his parents hadn't done this, it might have taken him some time to suppress those opposing forces. If it weren't for the Liang family incident, it might have been extremely difficult to settle, but at least Lin Qing would be safe.
"Now, are you okay?" Lin Qing raised his head.
Mu Li held her tighter in his arms and nodded.
That's good.
Lin Qing couldn't describe what this feeling was. It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel uncomfortable, but at least Mu Li had survived the crisis. She naturally understood what the Mu family meant by saying that. She was no longer Mrs. Mu and would have nothing to do with anything here.
Seeing that she was lost in thought and silent, Mu Li felt inexplicably nervous. He lifted her chin with his slender fingers and lowered his head to smell it.
"Mu Li, give me some time." Lin Qing avoided his kiss, and his thin lips rubbed against her cheek.
"Time? What's the point of giving you time?" Mu Li's pupils suddenly tightened, and he suddenly felt an inexplicable strong uneasiness, "You want to leave me?"
"Didn't you wish I would leave before?" Lin Qing pulled down the corners of his lips but didn't laugh.
It was true that Mu Li always asked her to go away when he first lost his memory, but that was many years ago, and he would never admit it at this time.
"You mean, you really want to leave me?"
"I didn't." Lin Qing avoided his burning gaze, not wanting to maintain this posture, "Aren't we going to eat? Why don't you do it?"
"Don't change the subject," Mu Li forced her to look at him, his burning gaze making her feel a little flustered, "Tell me, what do you think?"
"What can I think? You were suddenly taken away, and when you came back you became someone else's husband. Should I laugh? Should I accept it? Or do you think it's best for me to pretend I don't know?"
Lin Qing didn't want to say this, but he pushed her too hard. She had thought that since things had turned out this way, he would at least give her some time.
They need time to buffer.
"Lin Qing, I'm afraid of you being like this. You are mine, and I won't let you leave."
Lin Qing shook his head and laughed: "Mu Li, I'm very tired now, really tired, I don't want to think about those things, please don't force me, okay?"
"Do you think I'm forcing you now?"
"Is not it?"
"Okay, Lin Qing, since you think I'm forcing you, you are not allowed to leave this door from today on." Mu Li let go of Lin Qing and suddenly stood up. Lin Qing left his arms and lost his balance and fell on the sofa.
Mu Li looked down at her and wanted to reach out his hand but paused. How could he not know what Lin Qing meant? But he was afraid that if he gave her time, she would leave without looking back.
Lin Qing looked gentle and peaceful, but he knew that she was very stubborn and would stick to it once she wanted to do something.
Just like he wanted to help him regain his memory, he also knew that Lin Qing had not given up until now.
How could he dare to give her the chance to escape easily
He didn't even dare to think about it.
"Mu Li, who am I to you now?" Lin Qing sat up on the sofa with his elbows. There was still the smell of alcohol on his hands, which was extremely unpleasant.
Mu Li didn't even think about it: "Wife."
Lin Qing's pale lips forced a smile: "Okay, if you can now tell everyone that I am your wife, I will pretend that what happened before never happened, including the child you and Xu Yuan had."
She knew clearly that the crisis had just passed and Mu Li would not do this.
She knew full well that the child was a taboo subject.
Mu Li pursed his lips in a teasing tone, his expression gloomy and unclear: "Lin Qing, you are forcing me now."
"Then don't talk about locking me up here. Just give me some time. Can't we just be fine?" Lin Qing's chest rose and fell slightly, and her face was unusually flushed. She knew that Mu Li didn't want her to be exposed to news from the outside world, but what was the use of doing this
She thought it would work, but the moment she got the phone, she felt that any attempt to hide it was unnecessary and powerless. They had already taken this step, and there was no turning back.
"Alright? Lin Qing, tell me, how can we be okay now?" There was a trace of sadness in Mu Li's eyes, and his tall figure looked even more lonely at this moment.
The sky was unusually gloomy, and the air was still depressing and dull even at almost noon.
No matter how cold the weather is, it can’t compare to a cold heart.
Yeah, they can't be fine anymore.
There are already too many obstacles between them. It's not a question of identity, but neither of them is willing to admit it, and neither of them is willing to let go.
That's why the injury was more serious.
She wanted to say that she didn't mind at all, but she couldn't say it. She minded to death, and she couldn't ignore it when she thought of Mu Li and Xu Yuan's past.
"Do you really hope that we can't go on?" Mu Li's voice was as cold as ice, making her shiver all over.
"I hope not."
"I will give you an explanation for everything that happened before. Be obedient and don't leave the house from today on." Mu Li looked at her slightly red eyes, but he couldn't bring himself to speak.
"I won't." There was no way Lin Qing could accept this condition.
Mu Li's face darkened. He was about to speak when someone rang the doorbell outside. He went over to open the door with a cold face.
The adjutant looked hurried, with sweat on his forehead. He was holding a bag containing freshly bought food.
There were a lot of people in Chuanxiang Pavilion today. Luckily he was in the city when he received the call. Looking at the time now, it was only a little over half an hour away.
"Commander, you ordered me to buy it." The adjutant picked up the bag in his hand, hot steam rose up and the fragrance filled the air.
Mu Li was in no mood to eat, his face still gloomy: "Put it on the dining table."
The adjutant's work was thankless, but he had rushed all the way here. Seeing Mu Li's expression, he followed him into the house, took two steps and saw Lin Qing sitting on the sofa.
It only took one glance for him to understand.
Did the lady have an argument with the commander as soon as she came back
Well, he ran into trouble again.
But their quarrel was not unexpected. Such a big thing happened two days ago, and it was very considerate of the lady that she did not make a scene.
Lin Qing didn't want to make a fuss, she didn't want to at all, she just felt physically and mentally exhausted.
The adjutant walked silently to the kitchen, found plates to put the food on, and placed everything on the table. The food was delicious and still looked fresh from the pot.
"Let's go eat." Mu Li didn't want to remain in a stalemate with her for too long, so he walked over and pulled her.
Lin Qing dodged his hand and wanted to completely distance herself from him: "I can walk on my own."
The adjutant felt the danger that was about to break out. This matter was indeed difficult to handle. Men would not want their women to have a nominal relationship with others, and the same was true for women.
It is understandable that the lady ran away from home now.
The adjutant thought so, but he never expected that it would come true one day.
Lin Qing walked to the dining table and looked at the dishes on the table but had no appetite. She suddenly thought of something and looked for Mu Li when she sat down: "I want to go to the hospital tomorrow to see Lu Xiao."
Mu Li did not object, he looked up at Lin Qing and said, "Let's eat."
The next day, Lin Qing went to the hospital alone. Mu Li wanted to accompany her, but she refused to let him go. If they went out like this, they might be photographed and cause trouble, which would be really troublesome.
Mu Li couldn't insist any longer and had to ask her to go home within three hours.
Lin Qing walked to the hospital entrance and did not go to see Lu Xiao, but went straight to the gynecology department.
