Chapter 263: She Still Cares About Me
Seeing that Xu Xiang didn’t want to leave after breakfast, Mu Yucheng hesitated for a moment, before saying, "Miss Xu, you should leave for now, lest someone see you in my room. If some rumor spreads, it will damage your reputation." What Xu Xiang was more worried about now was not her reputation, but Mu Yucheng’s strange behavior today. Normally, he would stick by her side most of the time. Even when Xu Xiang went to the bathroom, Mu Yucheng would guard her from afar. But today, he just wanted to send her away. She’d be an idiot if she didn’t notice that he was trying to hide something from her.
Xu Xiang poured a cup of tea for herself and Mu Yucheng, and said calmly: "I don’t care what others say about me."
Hearing what she said, Mu Yucheng frowned slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "I care."
When she heard his words, Xu Xiang turned to look at him and saw that he was frowning. Xu Xiang realized that she failed to take Mu Yucheng’s reputation into consideration.
After thinking about it, she put down her teacup and said, "I’m sorry. I forgot that men care about their reputation too. Then I will leave before anyone sees me here."
Before Mu Yucheng could say that she had misunderstood his words, Xu Xiang already stood up and walked to the door. Opening the door, she looked at him with a smile and said, "This tea is good for your health. You should drink more."
Leaving this sentence, Xu Xiang went out and closed the door behind her. Looking at the closed door, Mu Yucheng felt a lump pressing on his heart, and whispered: "You misunderstood me... What I care about is your reputation..."
After leaving Mu Yucheng’s room, Xu Xiang went to the deck to find Huan Yun. When she came to the deck, what Xu Xiang saw was not the excited Huan Yun, but the listless Huan Yun. Seeing her pale face as she leaned against the wooden railing and Hu Wenfeng patting her back lightly with worry in his eyes, Xu Xiang was a little curious.
