Chapter 707: Protect
When Cheng Che returned to his room, he saw Jiahui sleeping soundly. Song Ning had given her some medicine to calm her nerves. Although she did not suffer much and was not physically injured, she had trouble sleeping due to the lingering fear.
Cheng Che reached out and stroked Jiahui’s face. He was afraid he would scare her so he quickly withdrew his hand and sat on the chair next to the bed. Then, he looked at her silently.
This unexpected disaster Jiahui suffered was caused by him. He did not expect Guan Tang to be so terrifying.
Currently, it looked like the Yin family was willing to pay any price as long as he agreed to return to the Yin family. Outwardly, they looked sincere, but all of them had their own agendas. Among these people, perhaps, his sister, Yin Jia, was the only one who sincerely wished for his return. They were biological siblings, after all. Nonetheless, he was also aware that Yin Jia had her own selfish motives as well.
Cheng Che was not surprised by the Yin family. He had seen many of this kind of people in the Mu family, after all.
What the Mu family did have nothing to do with him, and he did not care about the Yin family. The only person he cared about was Jiahui.
Since Guan Tang dared to touch Jiahui, he was going to make Guan Tang pay for it.
The Yin family was getting restless as well. If they dared to touch Jiahui, he would not let them go as well. Even if it was his sister who made a move, he would not be polite.
It was all thanks to Jiang Jin that he was able to grow up peacefully. He did not have much desire since he was content with what he had. He had never pursued material wealth. However, if those people dared to touch the person he loved and the Mu family, he did not mind turning into a wolf to deal with them.
…
Mu Chen had yet to sleep as well. He had just finished dealing with his work, and when he returned to the bedroom, Song Ning woke up immediately.
“Done?”
“Yes,” Mu Chen replied as he came to the side of the bed to kiss Song Ning. Then, he said, “I’m going to take a shower. Go to sleep first.”
Song Ning’s sleepiness had completely disappeared. After Mu Chen entered the bathroom, she got out of bed and poured a gla.s.s of warm water for Mu Chen.
When Mu Chen came out of the bathroom, he was drying his hair. He picked the gla.s.s of water up and drank a mouthful from it.
Song Ning stepped forward and took the towel from him before she helped him to dry his hair. Then, she casually lifted the hairdryer to completely dry his hair.
...
After Mu Chen got into bed, he let out a long sigh.
“You must be exhausted,” Song Ning said, feeling distressed for him.
Mu Chen nodded. “Yes. However, Jiahui’s finally back, and Cheng Che can finally feel at ease now.”
Song Ning asked, “What do both of you plan to do next? Since you’re not planning to report this to the police, is this matter over?”
Mu Chen pulled Song Ning into his arms before he said, “Things aren’t that simple. It’s not wise to involve the police. Zhuang Ning will also get dragged into this if we involve the police. The gains aren’t worth the loss. Jiahui is back now, and she’s fine. That’s the most important thing. As for the rest… leave it to Cheng Che. He’ll deal with them one by one…”
Song Ning could not help but say, “Cheng Che is really pitiful. I think he must be very sad.”
Mu Chen was silent for a moment. Then, he said, “We have no way of truly understanding how he feels now. He has to face this on his own.”
Song Ning nodded with a sigh before she said, “We have to support him no matter what. I thought Cheng Che and Jiahui’s lives would be very smooth. I didn’t expect them to encounter such a disaster. Let’s just treat this as a test of their love. Let’s solve this matter as soon as possible so they can get married.”
Mu Chen tightened his hold around her and said, “Of course. They’ll definitely get married. Cheng Che isn’t as easy to fool as he looks. If those people think he’s easy to bully, then they’re very wrong.”
Upon hearing this, Song Ning also could not help but speak up for her best friend. “Jiahui isn’t someone to be trifled with as well.”
