This feeling left Meng Jingwei feeling lost and a little helpless.
Even though her heart felt bitter, life couldn't have everything.
"You misunderstood."
Meng Jingwei explained, "He always wanted to reveal his identity, but I kept stopping him. Also, be wary of He Kaliannuo; she's not simple."
After speaking, Meng Jingwei didn't have much more to say. "Take care."
She turned her head to Qing Muye and said, "A Ye, let's go."
The two of them walked past him just like that.
The scene was clearly a momentary event, but Xiao Cheng felt as if it were in slow motion, his beloved moving further and further away from him.
Xiao Cheng's heart felt a tearing pain, making him convulse and unable to breathe.
When would her eyes ever see him?
Meng Jingwei and Qing Muye got into the car, and Qing Muye started the sedan, slowly driving away.
In the car, Meng Jingwei leaned back in the passenger seat, gazing forward, and sighed, "You've offended Anthony. Once your identity is revealed, he'll definitely know it was you. From now on, you must be careful."
She was subtly worried about Qing Muye's safety.
"Okay, Mrs. Boss."
The man pursed his lips into a smile and reached out to caress Meng Jingwei's cheek.
But as his hand touched her delicate skin, Meng Jingwei mercilessly slapped it away. "Drive properly."
"Yes, I'll listen to you."
Qing Muye was in a great mood, a hint of a smile unconcealed in his eyes.
Seeing his good mood, Meng Jingwei asked, puzzled, "What's made you so happy?"
"Nothing. I just feel that the slap you gave Li Yun'er was so satisfying."
Earlier in the living room, Li Yun'er had been constantly spewing venom, implying openly and secretly that Meng Jingwei and Xiao Cheng were involved, yet Meng Jingwei had unceremoniously slapped her.
Hearing Qing Muye's words, Meng Jingwei's willow-like brows slightly furrowed, then she smiled, "Oh really?"
She suspected Qing Muye wasn't happy because she had slapped Li Yun'er, but rather because Li Yun'er had slandered her and Xiao Cheng, and her slap had directly clarified her relationship with Xiao Cheng.
He was happy because of this.
Thinking of this, Meng Jingwei's eyes darkened. She turned to look at Qing Muye, pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "A Ye, yesterday... it was my fault. I was narrow-minded."
Qing Muye had taken her to Yipinju, and not long after, Qing Muye had to leave. She thought Qing Muye would go to settle scores with Xiao Cheng.
She hadn't expected him to go find Anthony.
Her instinct was that Qing Muye would only act against Anthony after meticulous planning to escape from him.
So when Qing Muye suddenly left, Meng Jingwei could only think of Xiao Cheng.
Worry made her confused.
"Xiao Cheng has had issues with you, but he's also shown you kindness. I can understand."
He took Meng Jingwei's hand and held it tightly, saying softly, "What you owe him is what I owe. Because we are family."
Qing Muye had always been clear about debts and grievances.
He remembered Xiao Cheng's life-saving kindness towards Meng Jingwei.
After being diverted by Anthony's people yesterday, he realized something was wrong. However, he couldn't break free quickly at the time and could only immediately contact Tang Si to protect Meng Jingwei.
Who knew Xiao Cheng just happened to pass by and saved her first.
As a husband, Qing Muye felt very guilty about this.
"A Ye, thank you."
Meng Jingwei was immensely touched.
"That's it?"
He glanced at Meng Jingwei, stopped the car by the roadside, and turned off the engine.
He turned sideways and asked, "A verbal 'thank you' is a bit too perfunctory, isn't it?"
"Ah? Then... how do you want me to 'thank' you?"
Meng Jingwei looked bewildered.
