Chapter 28

In the garden, Mu Yunsheng let go of Shen Xinrui after driving away Lai Yuanhang and continued to look for her ring.

“Yunsheng, I’m sorry.”

Shen Xinrui opened her mouth indistinctly, looking at Mu Yunsheng guiltily. He ignored her and didn’t answer, only frowning as he knelt on the ground, his long fingers searching through the bushes.

It was summer, the sun was abundant, it was the season when plants grew most luxuriantly. Shrubs are no exception, the branches and leaves grow densely, behind the green leaves, there are many hidden sharp thorns. Mu Yunsheng put his hand in to feel around, or pushed aside the branches and leaves to look for them, he squatted and knelt there, frowning as he scrutinized every place.

The thorns on the shrubs were sharp, relentlessly piercing into his flesh, a single cut made a path, and beads of bright red blood scrambled out. In a short while, Mu Yunsheng’s hands became bloodstained and miserable. Shen Xinrui didn’t know his situation, and seeing that he was anxious with his back turned, she joined in the search.

Fortunately, the owner of the hotel had set up a lot of colored lights in the garden, so the light wasn’t very bad and it was easy to find the ring. Together with Mu Yusheng, Shen Xinrui searched the grass and shrubs and the surrounding places, but she just didn’t see it. According to reason, this place is well lit, if the ring was lost here, it would be reflective. But except for a few discarded cans and beer caps, there was no sign of the ring.

Seeing that she couldn’t find it after searching around, Shen Xinrui went up and pulled Mu Yunsheng, saying, “Yunsheng, the light at night isn’t as good as during the day, why don’t we come back to look for it during the day?”

Mu Yunsheng waved away Shen Xinrui’s hand without uttering a word, he tensed his face, his brows locked tightly, his thin lips pursed into a line, his fair cheeks flushed because of the long hours of searching, and sweat dampened the bangs in front of his forehead. At this moment, he looked impatient, his body exuded a chilling aura, and his gloomy face was something Shen Xinrui had never seen before.

“Yunsheng ……” Shen Xinrui froze and looked at Mu Yunsheng, habitually reaching out to hold his hand, touching a cold and terrible, and sticky unknown liquid. She looked down strangely and was stunned when she saw those bruises, then immediately exclaimed, “Yunsheng, what’s wrong with your hand! Where did all this blood come from!”

Mu Yunsheng stood there, ignoring Shen Xinrui’s shriek as he looked around with his eyes open, his mind wondering where else the ring would have landed.

“Yunsheng, how many times have I told you to protect yourself, don’t just get hurt! More so, don’t get hurt with a look of indifference …… Hey where are you going?” Shen Xinrui rambled on, and before the words were finished, Mu Yunsheng had already broken away from her hand and walked forward.

Taking a few quick steps, he arrived at the swimming pool that was swirling with blue waves, and Mu Yunsheng quietly stared. The entire garden had almost been searched, and the only thing left, was this!

“With a crackle, the power inside and outside the hotel was suddenly turned off, and the surrounding area was instantly plunged into darkness. Not far from the store, people were making noises to complain about the sudden loss of light.

Shen Xinrui was startled and stopped in place, using her eyes to adapt to the sudden change in darkness. Just then, she heard the sound of splashing water coming from the front and couldn’t help but ask worriedly, “Yunsheng, where are you? What’s wrong?”

As the words fell, no one responded for a long time, and only the sound of splashing water fluctuating occasionally resounded.

Shen Xinrui was a bit scared, fortunately at this time, her eyes had already adapted to the darkness, she followed the sound of splashing water to find it, and slowly came to the side of the pool. Borrowing the weak moonlight, she searched the turquoise water and vaguely seemed to see someone inside.

“Yunsheng? Is that you?” She asked, her body slowly probing forward in an attempt to see clearly who was in the water.

“With a splash, the water that was lifted by the person in the water splashed onto Shen Xinrui’s feet, and unprepared, she was shocked and screamed, then her feet slipped and she accidentally fell in.

“Flop!”

The sound of falling water was loud in the silent night sky.

Shen Xinrui panicked and flailed in the water, she didn’t know how to swim, falling in would surely kill her.

Due to panic and fear, she forgot to close her breath and drank a lot of water, her nose also sucked in water. She felt that her limbs were so heavy, and her brain that lacked oxygen gradually couldn’t command her to surface, suddenly, a stream of fresh and clean air poured into her mouth, and her lips were attached to two soft petals.

“Wow”, Shen Xinrui was brought out of the water by a pair of powerful hands.

“Hoha, hoha ……”

Shen Xinrui gasped for air, the feeling of regaining oxygen was so good, and the refreshing breath continuously washed the muddy brain.

“Xinrui.”

Mu Yunsheng’s characteristic cool voice came from his ears, and Shen Xinrui turned around, only to realize that it was him who had saved herself.

“Yunsheng ……” she softly called out, her body breathless from drowning, she could only paralyze in front of Mu Yunsheng’s chest, relying on him for support.

Mu Yunsheng strangled one hand around her waist, then paddled his other hand, bringing her towards the shallower part of the pool. When he reached the edge of the pool, he reached out and carried her whole to sit on it before reaching out to wipe away the water droplets on her face.

“Cough cough cough!!!”

Shen Xinrui coughed violently, her body shivering slightly, her long wet hair dripping water down constantly. Mu Yunsheng stood up straight in the water, reaching out to tuck the long hair that had fallen from her cheeks behind her ear, moving gently, as usual.

After sitting there for a little while and slowing down, Shen Xinrui furrowed her brows a little angry and said, “Yunsheng, what are you doing jumping into the water, scared me to death.”

Mu Yunsheng didn’t answer, he crossed over Shen Xinrui to look at the distance behind her, there, Lai Yuanhang and Han Yilin were slowly walking over, Sikong Ye followed them, holding a little girl in his hands. Soon, they saw him as well, and Lai Yuanhang’s face darkened almost instantly, stopping there, a pair of eyes flashing with anger.

“Xinrui ……,” Mu Yunsheng retracted his gaze and faintly looked at Shen Xinrui.

“Hm? What’s wrong?” Shen Xinrui was puzzled.

Mu Yunsheng lifted her hand, and his fingers, which were blistered white, slowly reached out to her ring finger, which was covered with the ring that Li Yuanhang had forcefully put on. He pursed his lips, his fingers twisted, trying to take it off, somehow, just could not take it off.

“I …… I tried, it seems, it seems like there’s no way to take it off.” Shen Xinrui swallowed a small voice, her hand subconsciously shrinking back, she herself didn’t know why she made such a move.

After trying several times to remove it, Mu Yunsheng’s face gradually showed impatience. After a few seconds, a hint of sulkiness flashed across his eyes, and then, he steeply began to exert himself, ruthlessly pulling at Shen Xinrui’s finger that had the ring on it.

Shen Xinrui could see that he was angry, this was the first time that he clearly showed that he was angry with her. Therefore, even though his strength hurt her, she didn’t dare to squeak. Tonight’s Mu Yunsheng was too abnormal, making her feel strange and uneasy.

“Well ……” in the end, she didn’t hold back, and under one of Mu Yunsheng’s gravity, Shen Xinrui grunted out.

As soon as the suppressed cry of pain rang out, Mu Yunsheng’s movements stopped, and he lifted his head to look at Shen Xinrui, his eyes so deep they couldn’t be seen.

“…… “In the face of Mu Yunsheng’s gaze, Shen Xinrui didn’t know what she was going to say, and she had to open her mouth to call his name after half a second of staring at him, “Yunsheng …… ”

Mu Yunsheng’s gaze shifted and fell behind her again, a few people not far away were about to walk over.

“Xinrui, this ring …… ” Mu Yunsheng put the ring he retrieved from the pool into Shen Xinrui’s hands, “It can’t be lost.” After speaking, his large palm brought her small hand slowly together, wrapping the ring tightly.

Although she didn’t know why Mu Yunsheng was so obsessed with the wedding ring, Shen Xinrui still nodded her head seriously, “I know, Yunsheng, I will definitely not lose it again.”

“Uh-huh.” Mu Yunsheng answered, and immediately afterward, his whitish lips suddenly turned upwards, curving out a shallow arc. He smiled, for the first time ever, he smiled!!!!

Shen Xinrui looked at Mu Yunsheng’s shallow smile in shock, she realized that tonight, he had given her so many firsts.

When she was frozen, the face that was hanging with a faint smile suddenly zoomed in, and before she could react, two cold and wet soft petals were printed on her lips.

Yunsheng ……

Yunsheng he ……

He was kissing her ……

He actually kissed her!!!

Shen Xinrui’s eyes widened in shock, looking at the handsome face close at hand, her body stiffened at a loss for words, all her senses flying apart because of Mu Yunsheng’s kiss.

“With a swish, Mu Yunsheng violently yanked Shen Xinrui down, wrapping the stunned her into his arms, and his thin lips began to ravage her with impunity. He turned his head sideways, his lips violently grinding against her, his lips and teeth meeting, making ambiguous sounds. He also reached out, five fingers falling openly onto her buttocks, kneading them rather erotically, pressing her body towards himself and squeezing it.

Shen Xinrui was completely stunned, her brain was unable to function for a moment, rather than being shocked, she was stunned, foolishly allowing Mu Yusheng to get close to her.

See such a situation, not far away from the Li Yuanhang simply to go crazy, he clenched his fists and viciously looked at the pool entangled in the two, about to lift his feet and rushed over, but the side of the Han Yilin but quickly pulled him. She shook her head and looked at Sikong Ye on her side with a panicked face, and after hesitating for a second, Lai Yuanhang finally withdrew his foot and looked at Mu Yusheng with murderous fury.

Mu Yunsheng, who was stared at angrily without any reaction, wrapped his arms around Shen Xinrui and loosened her mouth, instead embracing her into his arms, allowing her to be bound to him in an intimate position. He raised his eyes slightly, looking over at Li Yuanhang through his bangs, his ink-colored eyes flickering with unknown emotions.

Li Yuanhang interpreted the emotion in Mu Yusheng’s eyes as provocation, and he tensed his body, ordering himself not to rush over right now, to endure, and endure again!!!! Han Yilin uneasily tugged on his hand, terrified that he would really rush over and do something terrible. Both of them had mood swings because of Mu Yunsheng’s move to kiss Shen Xinrui, but only Sikong Ye, holding Beibei in his arms from beginning to end, watched with a clouded look.

Sikong Ye hooked her lips, smiling but not laughing as she watched Mu Yunsheng over there, her hand painted with blue glossy nail polish patting and caressing the little girl in her arms. She wondered, his actions tonight, could she define it as a threat? Threatening her not to lay a hand on Shen Xinrui?

“Heh ……”
