COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 5 - Season 8 Episode 100

Even though Mu Chenyan stepped out of the way earlier. She was still feeling restless and Xiang Hulin sat beside her to keep an eye on her. He knew her restless soul will think of moving and he was not wrong either.

“Ge, I think I should go and see if he is bullying our Little Your.”

Xiang Hulin had to hold her back and pulled her back to the couch. “Stop being so nosy.”

“How can this be considered being nosy?” She asked her brother in displeasure. “I’m clearly just worried about my Little Yue.” She sounded so righteous that Xiang Hulin ended up rolling his eyes at this sister of his.

Only his ghost will believe she was worried about Yue Yue. Clearly, she wanted to mess with Zhai Kuijun to show her might. But she was forgetting that she already warned Zhai Kuijun and he didn’t think Zhai Kuijun was stupid enough to make a mistake.

Besides, he really didn’t think Zhai Kuijun could hurt Yue Yue. If there was someone who genuinely cares about Yue Yue from her past it was Zhai Kuijun.

“I know,” he told her. “But what can you do at this point? You have done enough by keeping her hidden for so long. Even your own brother didn’t find a single clue about her whereabouts all thanks to you.”

Mu Chenyan laughed at that proudly, “I’m just that awesome,” she said. “It’s just that I’m low-key. How can anyone find people I want to hide? No one. You should already know that, Ge.”

“Yes, I should stop underestimating my sister’s capabilities,” said Xiang Hulin.

“You should.” She was pleased with herself for a moment before she sighed again. “Ge…”

“Stop it!” Said Xiang Hulin. “You’re really acting like Yue Yue is your love interest and you’re scared her first love will snatch her from you. Will you stop being so possessive?”

“How is this being possessive?” She asked him.

“Don’t you have faith in your best friend?” Asked Xiang Hulin. “Don’t you think you’ve done enough already? It’s not your job to fight her battles for her. She seems very capable of doing it herself. I heard she had a soft personality but I know you Chenchen. Being with you, she couldn’t possibly be the same white rabbit she once was. No matter how you have been protecting her, you must have taught her how to bite if the time asked for it. Am I right? Or am I right?”

Mu Chenyan gave her brother a deep glance and smiled softly. In just two days, he figured out Yue Yue and here she was fretting over whether her best friend would be okay confronting her past. Maybe she should really have more faith in her best friend.

Maybe she got used to protecting the delicate little flower of their family too much so she forgot that she was the one who trained that little white flower how to use her thorns.

“Ge, you’re still very perceptive,” she commented.

“It’s a talent that I inherited in my genes,” said Xiang Hulin.

Mu Chenyan suddenly laughed out when she heard that. “That’s exactly what Elle said once. Tsk. How can she still have your temperament when she didn’t even grew up with you?”

“Maybe it’s the magical connection of family?”

Mu Chenyan shrugged her shoulders at that because she also couldn’t figure it out. To say every one of the Xiang family’s members were perceptive would be wrong but at the same time, right. It was really complicated to explain.

“Let Yue Yue take charge of her own life,” said Xiang Hulin. “Don’t hide her in your shadows. She deserves to shine. And I believe she can shine brightly.”

Mu Chenyan set down her heart and nodded her head in agreement. That was indeed true. She couldn’t say anything about it.

“But do you think she’ll tell Zhai Kuijun the truth?” Asked Xiang Hulin.

“What do you think?” Retorted Mu Chenyan.

“I don’t think she will,” he told his thoughts to her honestly. He didn’t have anything to hide from her anyway so it was better to let her know what he thought about this situation. “From my understanding, Yue Yue hadn’t been running from her past. She was only running from that one truth and she’ll keep hiding it for as long as she can. Although I’m not sure what that truth is, but it definitely scares her a lot.”

“You really don’t know what that truth is?” Asked Mu Chenyan. “You want me to believe that? But I really can’t.”

Xiang Hulin chuckled at her. “I only know a part of it. I could only figure that out. But the rest is a mystery to me as well.” He took a pause and asked, “What do you know? No matter how we tried to find out what happened that night, we found nothing. In fact, people who knew about what happened that night are either dead or missing. It’s like someone deliberately erased everything related to that incident.”

Mu Chenyan looked at him in shock, “What did you say? People died?”

“Yes,” Xiang Hulin nodded his head in response. “The servants in the Yue Manor left one by one. And then they were gone. So, it’s hard to find any clue.”

“That’s so suspicious,” said Mu Chenyan. “Someone can even go so far to murder just to keep them quiet?” She frowned, “It seems I have to ask Yue what really happened?” She always refrained from asking Yue about what really happened back then.

Everyone could piece together the fact that Hyson was Zhai Kuijun’s son but how did it happen? No one could figure that out. Because looking at Zhai Kuijun, anyone could tell that he was really clueless regarding this matter.

“But why go so far just for this secret?” asked Mu Chenyan in confusion.

Xiang Hulin shrugged, “Some people are just that crazy. And Ms. Yue Lan clearly is that crazy person.”

Mu Chenyan sneered, “There is only one crazy person around here and that’s me. As for that Yue Lan, I never intended to find her but if she wants to compete with me, I’ll let her see who can be crazier.”

‘Is that something to compete about?’ Xiang Hulin wanted to ask but kept himself quiet. He knew her temperament.
