Ye Xin hastily said, “I’m sorry. I… I thought I could relax in front of you. At home, I don’t dare to relax at all. I’m always Song Ning, the Young Madam of the Mu family.”
As she spoke, she moved to Mu Qing’s side. Then, she kneeled next to his leg before leaning against it and said, aggrieved, “It’s not easy for me to come out. Don’t be angry at me. Do you know how difficult it is for me in that place where I’m all alone? I feel like I’m always walking on thin ice…”
Mu Qing’s expression softened as he reached out and placed his hand on her head. “If you want to achieve your goal, you’ll have to pay the price. We’re not in a hurry. All you have to do now is get used to being Song Ning. You have to restrain your temper. Song Ning is gentle and kind. However, she’s also independent and prideful. You have to pay attention to these things and not give yourself away.”
Ye Xin placed her hand on Mu Qing’s knee. She raised her head and smiled sweetly at Mu Qing. “Have you forgotten that I’m an actress? I can easily act out her hypocritical ways. I know her well enough to act out her prideful ways…” She continued to say, “In short, don’t worry. Grandma likes me very much. It’s just that Mu Chen always has a cold expression on his face. However, he’s always like this. Although he swore publicly that he’d treat Song Ning well, behind the doors, he’s still cold. He’s been like that since I was young. Speaking of which, I think it has something to do with you…”
Ye Xin looked at Mu Qing carefully. When she saw there was no change in his expression, she continued to say in an affectionate tone, “My brother and Mu Chen were classmates when they were young. My brother said he used to be a warm young man who loved to talk and laugh. He only became cold when his parents divorced. I don’t remember anything since I was too young at that time. Moreover, I quarreled a lot with my brother back then so I didn’t have a good impression of his friends.”
Mu Qing looked at the woman in front of him as skepticism rose in his heart. Could this woman really shoulder the heavy responsibility that lay on her shoulders now? He sighed inwardly. Things had already come to this point; there was no going back now.
He held Ye Xin’s hand and called out, “Song Ning.”
Ye Xin was stunned by the name and his action of holding her hand. She smiled sweetly at him.
Mu Qing looked at her and gently said, “I often think that it’s too cruel to let you complete this difficult task alone and make you sacrifice so much. I know your life isn’t easy now, and there’s nothing I can help you with now. I can’t even visit you too often. You can only rely on yourself. Do you blame me?”
Ye Xin felt a warm current slowly flowing to her heart. Mu Qing’s voice was like a hypnotic spell that made her feel at ease, comfortable, warm, and willing to do anything for him. She grabbed his hand and placed it against her face as she said, “No! Why would I blame you? I’m grateful to you for giving me hope. You gave me a chance to be reborn. I’ll listen to everything you say. I believe that everything you do is for our good!
“I know that your life is not easy, but unfortunately, I can’t help you with anything. Even when I visit you, I can’t do it too often. You can only rely on yourself. Will you blame me?”
Ye Xin felt a warm current slowly flow through her heart. Mu Qing’s voice was like a hypnotic spell that made her feel comfortable, made her feel at ease, made her feel warm, and made her willing to do anything for him. When you succeed in your plan, I’ll live in seclusion in this villa and be the woman behind you, okay?”
Mu Qing smiled. “Don’t you feel wronged? I’m already an old man.”
Ye Xin shook her head fiercely before saying vehemently, “No, you’re not old! You’re not old at all. In fact, I think it’s quite good that Mu Chen has a hidden illness.. This way you don’t have to worry about anything between him and me.”
