Hearing Qiao Anxia's words, Soong Yixue suddenly froze.

Her eyes were misted, and she looked pitiful.

As if he received a huge blow, he held onto Mo Tingyue's arm and asked in disbelief: "Tingyue, you're married?"

Mo Tingyue's body stiffened. His heart ached when he saw Soong Yixue's reddened eyes.

He patted the back of her hand in a hurry and bent down to cover her face with his palm. He said in a very gentle tone, "Xue'er, it's not what you think. I'll explain it to you later."

Explain?

When Qiao Anxia heard his words, she couldn't help but find them laughable.

They were husband and wife, what was there to explain to Soong Yixue?

Furthermore, if Soong Yixue didn't know about their relationship, why would she find her cell phone number and call her over?

After Mo Tingyue and Soong Yixue finished their conversation, they turned around and walked towards Qiao Anxia. Their previously gentle faces instantly turned frighteningly cold. It was as if they wanted to eat Qiao Anxia whole.

"Come out with me."

Walking in front of her, Mo Tingyue grabbed her wrist and pulled her out.

Qiao Anxia's feet hadn't fully recovered yet. As she was dragged along by him, she couldn't help but feel pain on her ankles.

"Mo Tingyue, let go of me!"

After being dragged out of the ward, Qiao Anxia shook off his hand with all her might, gritting her teeth as she endured the excruciating pain from his ankle.

Letting go of her hand, Mo Tingyue took a few steps back and stood one meter away from her, as if he was afraid that the woman in the ward would see him and purposely keep a distance from her.

His handsome face was filled with estrangement as he expressionlessly looked at her. He did his best to speak in a low voice, "Xue'er is Uncle Song's daughter and also your good friend from the past."

Seeing that Mo Tingyue was deliberately treating her as a stranger, Qiao Anxia smiled instead of getting angry, "A former friend of mine?"

"Yes." Mo Tingyue nodded in a perfunctory manner.

"Your friend?" Qiao Anxia raised her head, her torch-like gaze was locked on Mo Tingyue, with ridicule in her eyes.

Being stared at by her eyes made Mo Tingyue feel a little uncomfortable, "What else do you think it is?"

"Heh." With a cold smile, she walked towards Mo Tingyue step by step. Her gaze turned cold as she said, "Just a friend, why are you calling me so affectionately?"

"Mo Tingyue, do you think I'm an idiot!"

She walked in front of Mo Tingyue. Her sullen voice echoed in the cold corridor outside the ward. All the hatred, unwillingness, and grievance from the past few years surged out.

Her heart turned cold inch by inch. She clenched her hands so tightly that she didn't even feel the fingernails digging into her flesh.

Qiao Anxia felt disgusted by the fact that he was still trying to force an explanation out of her, even though she could see through his intentions!

"Carelessly causing trouble." Mo Tingyue sneered.

Thinking back to Soong Yixue, who was hurt by her words just now, he was filled with disgust towards her.

He pointed at her and warned with a cold tone, "Hurry up and go home. You're not allowed to come back here again!"

The more he was like this, the more Qiao Anxia wanted to resist.

He forcefully resisted the urge to tear them apart and looked at Ye Zichen with a calm expression.

"Why?"

"Can't I see my friends?"

Calm down, Qiao Anxia emphasized the word 'friends'.

"Qiao Anxia!"

Mo Tingyue's expression changed slightly when she poked his sore spot. He grabbed her throat and wished he could be crushed by her.

The more he looked at Qiao Anxia, the more he disliked her, especially when he thought of the gentle, kind, and attractive Soong Yixue in the ward. They were two extremes.

The balance in his heart unconsciously leaned towards Soong Yixue. No matter how bright and beautiful Qiao Anxia was, no matter how gentle and gentle she was, she was nothing in his eyes.

Without showing any mercy, he moved his hand from Qiao Anxia's neck to her lower jaw and ruthlessly lifted it up.

He looked down on her from above and impolitely threatened, "Don't forget that your father is still in prison. If you want to make his life comfortable, you'd better not provoke me!"

Qiao Anxia was slightly startled. Her pupils contracted fearlessly as she looked at his terrifyingly gloomy face and sneered, "Mo Tingyue, who do you think you are?"

"Other than threatening me, what else do you know?"

Her voice was calm, and it was impossible to tell what she was feeling.

However, Mo Tingyue felt that it was extremely ear-piercing. It was as if his heart was blocked by something. He couldn't let it out no matter how hard he tried. He felt extremely upset.

Mo Tingyue was pampered since he was young. He had everything he needed, and everyone around him was polite to him. No one had ever dared to treat him like this before.

Feeling disgraced, he felt slightly humiliated and infuriated.

"Someone, come!"

"Send her back to me!"

The five bodyguards that ran over surrounded Qiao Anxia like a swarm of bees and reached out their hands to grab her, trying to forcefully bring her away.

"Scram! I can leave by myself!" Sneering coldly, Qiao Anxia's sharp eyes swept across the surrounding bodyguards, filled with a cold intent.

Qiao Anxia was Mo Tingyue's wife after all, so the bodyguards didn't dare to offend her too much. They looked at each other and didn't do anything.

She had only taken a few steps when she stopped. Clenching her fists, she thought for a moment. She couldn't just leave like that.

Thus, he turned around and looked at Mo Tingyue to ask him.

"Mo Tingyue, have you been home for the past few days?"

"You left me alone at the top of the mountain. Did you ever think that I would be afraid of danger?"

"Did you know that my phone ran out of battery the other day? There was no one else on the mountain to pick me up, so I wanted to walk down by myself."

Qiao Anxia's voice was calm and indifferent as she spoke the words word for word. It was hard to tell any emotion from her voice.

After being stunned for a moment, Mo Tingyue was a bit confused, "What do you mean?"

Seeing his reaction, Qiao Anxia laughed at herself.

It was as if he didn't know what was going on, which was even more hurtful.

All these years, he had wronged himself by Mo Tingyue's side and tried his best to be his type.

She was really too tired. She was tired and didn't want to continue anymore. She just wanted to be herself.

Qiao Anxia completely gave up.

Deep down, she couldn't really change her personality. She had her own pride.

Mo Tingyue was so excited that he lost his mind because of Soong Yixue's awakening. He didn't even care about her safety.

A man like this simply wasn't worthy of making her sad, much less obtaining her love!

The dejected look returned to its usual expression as it looked at Mo Tingyue blandly.

There was no lingering in her calm voice, "Mo Tingyue, you treat me like this. You have no conscience."

Determined to turn around, Qiao Anxia walked away straightforwardly.

Her last sentence was too deep, like a blow to the head, waking Mo Tingyue up from the excitement of the past few days.

Looking at her firm and determined back, she felt an indescribable panic in her heart. Her gaze touched her swollen ankle, and a faint feeling of complexity arose in her heart.

Is she hurt? Was it the injury on the mountain that day?

Mo Tingyue was stunned on the spot as he watched her walk into the elevator. He felt empty as he watched her figure disappear.

Suddenly!

The numbers on the elevator lights went dark!

Mo Tingyue's head buzzed and the string in his heart snapped.

His first reaction was that Qiao Anxia was still inside!
