Chapter 414: Chapter 0414: How about I give it a try
Bai Luomei once said, "Time flows like water, too hurriedly. Some stories are too rushed to truly begin before they are written into yesterday; some people don’t get the chance to truly love before they become passersby."
Wasn’t that true for her, Qin Muge, and Ye Xunhuan as well?
They hadn’t even begun, yet they had already been written into yesterday, turned into the past.
At this moment, Qin Muge couldn’t describe the feelings in her heart with words. As she drove, tears streamed down her face.
She didn’t even know why she was crying. Was it love?
She couldn’t tell, only feeling a discomfort in her heart, as if a toy she thought belonged to her had suddenly become someone else’s.
Loss, sadness... all sorts of negative emotions surged in her heart!
Well, let all that had happened with Ye Xunhuan be considered a dream. Now that the dream was over, everything should return to normal.
But was this really just a dream?
Or could Qin Muge really treat it as a dream?
Perhaps even she couldn’t say for sure?
Ye Xunhuan didn’t know that at the moment Qin Muge drove away, teardrops slipped from her eyes. But even if he had known, what could he have done?
Just as he had told Mei Hanqing, he was already married. There were some things he was destined not to give them!
After Qin Muge drove away, Ye Xunhuan returned to the hospital room and instructed Wang Ma to rest while he stayed and accompanied Qiu Ruoxi.
Previously, Wang Ma had wanted to stay and take care of Qiu Ruoxi, but at this moment, she had changed her mind. It was more appropriate for Ye Xunhuan to stay. This way, not only could he take care of Qiu Ruoxi, but they could also develop a closer relationship.
After Wang Ma left, Qiu Ruoxi looked up at Ye Xunhuan and asked, "Did Mu Ge leave?"
"Yeah," Ye Xunhuan nodded.
"I see she was unhappy."
"No kidding, you two are best friends, and you got married without telling her. How could she be happy?"
"It’s not because of that she’s unhappy."
"Then why is it?"
"It seems to be related to you."
Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s words, Ye Xunhuan’s heart tightened. Could this woman be so sensitive about such things?
But then, he hadn’t really done anything with Qin Muge, had he, apart from having a relationship and helping her drive her father away? Nothing else, right?
Could that woman be developing feelings for him just because of these things?
"Mu Ge is really pitiful."
"You know about her matters?"
Qiu Ruoxi didn’t respond but simply lay down and closed her eyes.
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan was a bit speechless. Why had she gone into shutdown mode? They used to be able to chat for a long time.
Why had she suddenly reverted to how she was when they first got married?
"Wife, don’t be silent. Let’s chat!"
"I’m sleepy!"
No matter what Ye Xunhuan was saying, Qiu Ruoxi simply closed her eyes tightly and remained silent.
This made Ye Xunhuan quite bored, and he no longer said anything, but instead sat quietly beside her, guarding Qiu Ruoxi like a knight!
......
The night had deepened, and a cold moon hung in the pitch-black sky. Its soft light spilled over the streets, as though draping the bustling city in a silver garment, making everything shimmer.
In a villa on the outskirts of Jiangzhong, Xu Mingzhe, wrapped in a black robe, stood on the balcony of his bedroom, quietly gazing into the distance.
Because the light in the bedroom was off, the room was dimly lit. The flame from the cigarette in his hand stood out clearly, illuminating Xu Mingzhe’s handsome and composed face!
Under the dim light of the cigarette’s ember, one could vaguely see that Xu Mingzhe’s brows were tightly furrowed, indicating he was heavily preoccupied.
Suddenly, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside.
Because of the force used, the door slammed heavily against the wall, creating a dull thud! 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
This made Xu Mingzhe sigh involuntarily and slowly turn his head, saying, "Old Black, how many times have I told you to knock first, knock!"
Xu Mingzhe’s face was filled with an unprecedented headache.
Black Ghost chuckled, "Got used to it, sorry. Want me to do it again?"
"Forget it!" Xu Mingzhe said helplessly.
"Right, why knock at all? You’re not rolling in the sheets with a woman. If you were, I wouldn’t disturb you anyway," Black Ghost said casually. "Just you alone, isn’t knocking a bit troublesome?"
"Even if there were someone, would you knock?"
Black Ghost gave a sheepish laugh and scratched his head, "Boss, guess what news I heard today?"
"Speak!"
"Always like this, no fun. No wonder Qiu Ruoxi won’t marry you," Black Ghost couldn’t help but complain, but he went straight to the point, "Boss, I heard that all four of Qi Jieyu’s bodyguards, the Black, White, Red, and Blue, have mysteriously disappeared!"
Upon hearing Black Ghost’s words, Xu Mingzhe’s eyebrows slightly raised, "Is the information reliable?"
"Don’t know, can’t confirm it," Black Ghost said casually. "Of course, if you want a definite answer, let me try assassinating Qi Jieyu once!"
Upon hearing Black Ghost’s words, lines of frustration appeared on Xu Mingzhe’s forehead, "I should assassinate your grandpa. Do you think Qi Jieyu is that easy to kill?"
"What’s so difficult? Those four bodyguards of hers never caught my eye," Black Ghost said disdainfully.
Facing the arrogant Black Ghost, Xu Mingzhe didn’t find anything inappropriate. He knew Black Ghost’s prowess, and he indeed had the capability to take down Qi Jieyu’s bodyguards.
If it weren’t for Black Ghost’s strength, given his attitude of not taking Xu Mingzhe seriously, Xu Mingzhe likely wouldn’t have kept him by his side.
"Don’t you dare act recklessly," Xu Mingzhe cautioned. "She can’t die yet, I’m still waiting for her to test out Ye Xunhuan for me!"
"Test my ass. It’s been so long and that old witch Qi Jieyu hasn’t made a move," Black Ghost said, visibly annoyed. "If you ask me, just kill her off!"
"Old Black, can’t you think before you speak or act?" Xu Mingzhe said, frustrated. "Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Ruoxi’s current husband, managed to get Qiu Ruoxi to marry him and has connections with Xiao Jiu that even the Mu family dares not to speak against, do you really think he’s that simple?"
"You haven’t found out anything either!" Black Ghost retorted.
"It’s precisely because I haven’t found anything that I can’t be at ease," Xu Mingzhe inhaled deeply, "You must know, the less we know about something, the more uneasy it makes us!"
"And you just said, Qi Jieyu’s four bodyguards may have disappeared, I’m wondering if it was Ye Xunhuan’s doing?"
Upon hearing Xu Mingzhe’s words, excitement immediately flashed across Black Ghost’s face, "Boss, shall I go and test his depth?"
