C19 Why Did You Marry Me(1)

The thoughts in his mind could not be focused on work, but they would inevitably drift to that sometimes seductive, sometimes weak, and sometimes stubborn face.

She was invited to the house by the old lady!

According to the old lady's strict way of handling things, tonight she definitely would not have a good time!

But what did that have to do with him? Just as his mother had said, if she were to be more careful, no one would deliberately make things difficult for her!

Therefore, she should have been the one to suffer all of this. Wasn't that so?

However, even though that was what he was thinking, he still couldn't help but close his computer. He casually took a trench coat, picked up the car keys, and hurriedly left the house, heading towards his parents' home.

Ten o'clock at night -

Lele had been kneeling for an entire three hours.

It seemed that everyone had already fallen asleep. The house was quiet, so much so that Lele could clearly hear the howling of the wild wind outside the house.

Her entire body felt cold and numb. Her rosy cheeks also had a strange color...

The old lady had already fallen asleep. If he wanted to wake her up, he estimated that he would have to wait for the next morning.

Her knees were in so much pain that they were about to go numb, but she did not plan on giving in! The stubborn her had secretly competed with the old lady in her heart. She would never allow herself to lose.

Although the pain was painful, the coldness on the floor had also frozen her badly. She twisted her beautiful eyebrows and trembled as she tightly wrapped the cotton jacket on her body.

It was really fatal! The cold had not fully recovered yet, and she was now freezing again. She estimated that she would be feeling better in the next few days.

When Xi Muqing rushed back home, the house was exceptionally quiet. Only the servant responsible for opening the door for him was still awake.

"Is everyone asleep?" Xi Muqing took off his gloves and handed them to the maid, asking her.

"Yes! But Young Madam... isn't asleep yet." The maid's face seemed to be troubled.

Xi Muqing's cold and charming sword-shaped eyebrows knitted together, and the black eyes reflected a bit of hostility. He asked in a deep voice, "Where is she?"

"She... is still in the old lady's study..."

Before the maid could finish speaking, Xi Muqing had already rushed upstairs. He did not even have time to knock on the door before he directly pushed open the door and entered.

When Lele and Mrs Yun saw the person who came, they were suddenly stunned.

"Young Master?!" Mrs Yun's face was filled with joy.

"Xi Muqing?" Lele looked at him in confusion. After a while, she still could not come back to her senses. "Why are you here?"

Xi Muqing's tall black figure stood proudly at the door. His eagle-like eyes stared at her without blinking. Complicated emotions kept spreading in the pond. After a while, he walked towards her without saying a word.

His cold and sharp eyebrows seemed to be hiding some anger. He reached out his hand and grabbed her small hand. He held her tightly in his palm and pulled her away. "Get up!"

He used a lot of strength.

Lele frowned in pain when he suddenly pulled her. In the next moment, her entire numb body fell uncontrollably to the ground.

"Ah... Pain! Xi Muqing, let go... let go... "

The time he knelt down was too long.

Her weak knees could not bear such pain.

It was as if her legs had been detached from her body, causing her to hiss in pain!

Xi Muqing was frightened by her sudden cry of pain. In the next moment, he quickly let go of her hands and looked at the woman who was sitting on the ground with red eyes due to the pain.

She hugged her knees, and there was still some trembling between her legs.

Her little face had already been twisted into a ball, as if it really hurt!

"Can you leave?"

A cold question came out of her thin lips, but it seemed to contain some concern.

This kind of him made Lele find it hard to figure out.

But what made Lele even more curious was, if she could not leave, what would he do?

"It seems like I really can't walk anymore, it hurts..." Lele's charming face revealed a painful expression. Looking into Xi Muqing's eyes, there was actually a hint of pity.

Xi Muqing just stared at her on the ground. Complicated feelings flowed in the depths of his eyes.

After a long time, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly turned around and half-squatted in front of Lele and said indifferently, "Come up..."

"What do you want?" Lele was slightly surprised but she asked despite knowing the answer.

"Don't be long-winded. Come up!" Xi Muqing growled in a low voice.

Lele's charming lips slightly rose, and in an instant, all the grievances that she had suffered in her heart seemed to have become relieved because of his actions.

Her mood was inexplicably great.

She forcefully endured the pain in her knees and climbed onto Xi Muqing's back with great difficulty.

"Thank you..."

Her pink cheeks were tightly pressed against his firm shoulders as she thanked him in a shy voice.

However, her cheeks were also burning hot because of her close proximity to him. The redness spread to her neck.

Feeling the softness and warmth on his back, Xi Muqing's firm back was slightly startled. A strange throbbing unexpectedly flashed across his chest.

It was as if a piece of softness had hit his cold heart.

His tightened lips unconsciously relaxed a little.

"That's right." Suddenly, Lele, who was on her back, turned her head to Xi Muqing. She blinked her watery eyes at him and said, "Xi Muqing, Grandma said that I can't get up without her permission. What should I do? "

Lele, who was overwhelmed by happiness, finally remembered her grandmother's warning before she went to sleep.
