Chapter 293. Brief Partings (1)
As she said this, she turned to look at the man beside her, her eyes gleaming with the light of diamonds.
As Mu Yuchen listened, he slowed the car down then responded, “Ah Mo has liked Lingshi ever since we were young, my family’s not some trite family either. If they can get together, everyone would agree. Grandfather and Grandmother even planned to renovate a place for them in the Jinglan Villa area. After Lingshi graduates from university, they’d let them get married.”
When he said this, Mu Yuchen’s eyes darkened.
“Could it because of Ah Shi’s scar? How did she…?”
“It was the same scar from the car accident with Lingtian. Apart from the scar on her face, she suffered terrible burns on her back. Even with surgery, there’s no way of making it recover to how it originally was,” he answered, then suddenly reached out to hold her hand that was on her thigh. The slightly cold temperature of her skin was transferred through his palms too. “Ah Mo said he doesn’t mind, but Lingshi doesn’t have the courage to face it.”
To a girl like Mu Lingshi, it would be hard to accept. She must have been a very proud girl, yet unexpectedly…
Xi Xiaye sighed as she looked down at her hand that he held and thought about it. Then, she lifted her other idle hand to hold his. “Don’t think too much about it. They’ll recover once she lets go.”
“Mmm, just arrange things for her for the day after tomorrow. I have to make a trip to New York with Zimo tomorrow and I might only be back after a week or so. I’ve already told Vice President Liu and the rest to handle matters at the office. I’ll rush back in time before the big meeting.”
“Why so sudden? Was it the document that Ah Mo handed you earlier?” Xi Xiaye asked in confusion.
