People were often like this. When they wanted something, they would work hard to get it, but once they got it, they would not know how to treasure it. Only when they lost it would they know how to regret it. When they fully understand that they had lost what they got because they did not know how to treasure it, they would regret it so much that even cutting off their stomach would not be enough to quell their hatred for what they did back then.
However, did it matter?
Not everyone was as lucky as Nuannuan to have been blessed and generously rewarded for being a good person in her past life.
There were no ‘if’s in the world.
After Qi Huiyin and Mu Qingling were taken away, the room fell into a short awkward silence.
Mu Qingxuan realized that almost everyone was looking at her.
She could ignore the other gazes, but Brother Ye’s gaze was like a laser beam that bore into her, making her ears turn red.
Nuannuan, on the other hand, looked calm and composed. She had no intention of helping her friend out.
Mu Qingxuan could only awkwardly tuck her hair behind her ears and pretend not to care. “Nuannuan, how did you find me yesterday? Did Fangfang tell you that I hadn’t come back?”
Nuannuan shook her head. “Fangfang is so unreliable. She spent half an hour playing with her phone in the bathroom. By the time she would have come to tell us, Ling Xuyao would have been finished with you already.”
“Then?” Mu Qingxuan was stunned. “Then how did you find out that something happened to me?”
“Because of your Brother Ye!” Nuannuan smiled wickedly. “Your Brother Ye did indeed lose his memory back then. After his memory recovered, he went on a mission again. After the mission was concluded yesterday, he told Big Brother Chi Yang that he was coming to Jiang District. Big Brother Chi Yang told him that we were all there already, so he came over immediately. When he arrived, you weren’t around. I told him to wait for you while you were in the toilet, but he couldn’t wait, so he hacked your phone to see which toilet you were in. He said he would go wait for you at the entrance of the toilet. When he accessed your phone, he realized that you weren’t in the toilet. Instead, you had run to a private room on the second floor. So he went down to look for you. Fortunately, he found you in time. Otherwise, something would have really happened to you.”
Mu Qingxuan’s mouth was slightly agape.
…Brother Ye had tried to hack into her phone so he could wait for her at the entrance of the toilet yesterday?
Ning Wenhao was a little annoyed. He glanced at his sister-in-law.
He thanked her clearly expressing his heartfelt feelings, but… should something like looking for girls in the toilet not be omitted from the story?
However, before his resentful gaze could land on his sister-in-law, Young Master Ning received a cold and eerie glare from his boss, who was like a mother hen protecting his little chick.
Was that necessary? Was that necessary? Was that really necessary???
He was a little resentful. Could he not even express his resentment? His sister-in-law was not some innocent little bunny. She was the sister-in-law of the Eagle Special Forces, a femme fatale nicknamed White Steel Bunny by the team!
However, in the face of his boss’s overprotection of his wife, Ning Wenhao could only secretly withdraw his gaze.
Mu Qingxuan’s face was flushed red from Nangong Nuannuan’s words, and she had a shy expression on her face. Ning Wenhao’s Adam’s apple could not help but bob.
His little girl… had grown up.
The little girl whom he had held in his arms all day long back then had now blossomed into such a beautiful girl.
He really did not know what she would feel like in his arms now.
Feeling Ning Wenhao’s gaze on her, Mu Qingxuan’s face turned even redder. She could not say the words of thanks that were stuck in her throat.
