Mu Chen thought that the servant had forgotten to turn off the light, so he did not mind.

The car stopped in front of the villa.

Driver and bodyguard Liu Qing got off the car first and opened the door of the villa. It was too late in the night, Mu Chen did not want to alarm Aunt Lan and the others.

A few minutes later, the Rolls-Royce stopped in the courtyard and waited for Mu Chen to get off the car. Then, Liu Qing drove the car into the garage.

Mu Chen dragged his somewhat exhausted body towards the main house, and just as he reached the door, he heard voices. It was from the television, and not from a real person speaking.

Who was watching TV so late at night?

He remembered that every servant had a TV in their room. Who would dare to come into the living room and watch TV?

With large steps, Mu Chen entered the house and headed straight for the living room.

In the blink of an eye, he entered the living room, only to see the beauty sleeping on the sofa. He was stunned for a moment, and his gaze immediately turned deeper.

Why was she here tonight?

He raised his left wrist and checked the time. It was already 11: 40 PM.

Had she decided not to go or had she unwittingly fallen asleep and missed her s.h.i.+ft?

Mu Chen frowned, staring at the beautiful face, and guessed the reason why Zhang Xiao had yet to get off work.

Or was she waiting here for him to come back?

As he guessed, Mu Chen's heart felt softer.

Zhang Xiao thought that even if she fell asleep, as long as Mu Chen returned, she would be able to hear his footsteps and then wake up. But who knew that when Mu Chen returned, she was still playing chess with Zhou Gong.

Mu Chen unconsciously took light steps, walking in front of Zhang Xiao, looking down at her. After a moment, he turned his head to look at the TV screen, which was full of programs he had never paid attention to. He bent down to pick up the remote control from the coffee table and turned it off.

Without the hubbub of the television, the room became extremely quiet.

Mu Chen really wanted to wake Zhang Xiao up, but he didn't have the heart to do so. She slept soundly and sweetly.

She must be dreaming.

But she didn't sleep well against the back of the sofa.

Mu Chen wanted to help the sleeping Zhang Xiao to lie down, and planned to let him sleep on the sofa in the living room for the night. Thus, he bent down once again. She first carefully helped Zhang Xiao to lean on her arm and slowly let her lie down on the sofa.

After helping Zhang Xiao to lie down on the sofa, Mu Chen felt a little out of sorts. Seeing Zhang Xiao up close, maybe it was because they hadn't seen each other for a month, or maybe it was just an illusion, but he felt that Zhang Xiao had become even more beautiful.

Her skin looked smooth, and it must have felt smooth to the touch. He didn't know if she went to the beauty salon to do some maintenance or not, but if she didn't, then her skin was a natural beauty.

However, she was adept at cooking. Perhaps she made his own beauty soup every day. In any case, her skin was very good, and his facial features matched perfectly. She was a very, very beautiful woman, no wonder Gao Shao Liang would never forget her.

A large hand gently pressed against her smooth face. The large hand caressed it carefully and greedily.

Whose hand was that? How dare he take advantage of her while she was asleep and chop her off!

That … That seemed to be his own hand.

Mu Chen suddenly retracted his hand, and looked at the big hand that touched Zhang Xiao's face, in disbelief, his palm still had her warmth. That caressing action from earlier confirmed his guess. Her skin was really smooth. He was obviously 27 years old, but he had the skin of a 17 year old.

"Zhang Xiao... "Why do you want to be so beautiful?"

Mu Chen muttered, his words were filled with complaint towards Zhang Xiao. If she wasn't so beautiful, he wouldn't even be attracted to her. He hadn't seen her for a month, but his heart was sinking deeper and deeper into his chest.

Mu Chen was very afraid, very afraid, afraid that one day, he would no longer be able to endure it and he would betray his relations.h.i.+p with Tong Tong.

And her good fortune, was something that even Ning Zhi Yuan, that cold and hard man, had gradually changed. Although they hadn't met for a month, Mu Chen knew that Ning Zhi Yuan's att.i.tude towards Zhang Xiao had changed a lot.

The reason was not only because Zhang Xiao had taken care of Mu Ya and satisfied them, but also because of her character.

Her external conditions were excellent, as were her internal conditions.

A woman's inner beauty was more precious than her outer beauty.

Ning Zhi Yuan's att.i.tude towards Zhang Xiao softened. Actually, there was another reason: he was worried that Zhang Xiao's mother, Wen Li, would be the person he was looking for. Silver Hawk said that the more they investigate, the more they would be able to uncover many things, and they would also be able to uncover Silver Hawk's interest. Even if Ning Zhi Yuan did not investigate, Silver Hawk still wanted to uncover the truth of all these matters.

In another month, the Silver Hawk was able to confirm that Wen Li's family, of course, was her foster parents and family, who had all emigrated to Canada. Yet, that same photo was seen by someone in Canada …

The matter that had been missed seemed to return to the right track after a few turns.

The more he searched, the more interested Silver Hawk became, while Ning Zhi Yuan was even more helpless. He was afraid that he would prove that Wen Li was the person he was looking for, but he was also afraid that he would fail in the end.

In order to not prove that the two of them were cousins in the future, it would be difficult for them to reconcile any further. It could be said that the reason for his change in att.i.tude towards Zhang Xiao was partly because Zhang Xiao's magnanimity caused him to feel guilty and partly because she felt that she was inferior to Zhang Xiao in thinking that way. The other reason was to leave a way for herself to escape.

Mu Chen did not know about all these, Ning Zhi Yuan would not tell him.

At this moment, facing the fast asleep Zhang Xiao, Mu Chen was in extreme pain and also extremely conflicted.

He thought that the relations.h.i.+p between him and Tong Tong was even deeper than the ocean, and that even if Tong Tong was no longer here, he would still guard her soul and live the rest of his life. He did not expect Zhang Xiao to appear, and he was shocked to realize that his pa.s.sion had also become so weak that it could not withstand a single blow. He had met Tong Tong for less than two months, and now that Zhang Xiao had reappeared in his world, it was only after the two had compared to each other, that Mu Chen hated himself for changing his heart too quickly.

Annoyed, Mu Chen ruffled his hair and stood up. He no longer looked at Zhang Xiao and turned to leave.

Not her, not her!

From tomorrow onwards, he would no longer call nor send messages. He would have to be even more ruthless in order to pull his restless heart back to its original position.

Mu Chen, if you love then you love, why must you avoid it? If you love Zhang Xiao, he might not love you, but don't forget that Zhang Xiao hates that you're just a middle-aged uncle.

How could Mu Chen, who was still caught up in his guilt and remorse, possibly think of any other questions?

He would only be more ruthless to himself, forcing himself to cut off all connections with Zhang Xiao.

He went up to his room on the second floor, pushed open the door and turned on the light. The entire room was filled with Ning Tong's photos, and Mu Chen instantly felt as if his feet were filled with lead, making it difficult to take a single step into the room.
