Chapter 112 You're a real scoundrel
Chapter 112 You're a real scoundrel
When Qi Yushuang heard Mu Guangcheng ask her if she and Yu Xuan had a good relationship, she lowered her head shyly and nodded.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Twilight City and Qi Yushuang left.
Twilight City came looking for Qi Yuxuan.
Qi Yuxuan was busy washing up in the study by himself. Yin Lihen and Chu Yujue had left last night.
Just then, he suddenly heard a knock on the door. He looked up and saw Twilight City standing at the door, looking somewhat surprised.
"Brother Mu, why are you here so early today? Please come in," Qi Yuxuan gestured for Mu Guangcheng to enter.
"Yu Xuan, I have something to tell you," Mu Guangcheng said, his tone somewhat heavy.
Qi Yuxuan frowned and asked, "What is it? Please speak."
Twilight City took a deep breath and mustered his courage to say, "I want to marry Rain Frost."
Qi Yuxuan was stunned, a look of surprise on his face. He hadn't expected Twilight City to suddenly make such a request.
After a moment, he realized what he had said and asked, "What did you say?"
Twilight City took another deep breath and said firmly, "Yes, I want to marry Rain Frost."
"Actually, I've long harbored feelings for her, but Yu Shuang has always been interested in you, so I've never had the courage to express them. But..."
"But what?" Qi Yuxuan asked.
"However, after last night, I have decided that I will marry no one but Yushuang."
"Brother Mu, did you go to comfort Yu Shuang last night? Did you propose to Yu Shuang and she said yes?" Qi Yuxuan asked.
Twilight City's expression turned somewhat awkward, and he slowly said, "That's not how it is. What happened last night was sudden."
"Brother Mu, what happened? You've never been like this before, acting like a little lady. Tell me quickly," Qi Yuxuan said.
"Last night, I originally planned to go and comfort Yushuang."
"Who knew, who knew that as soon as I entered the room, which was completely dark, Miss Yushuang suddenly hugged me and kissed me."
"Huh? What did you say? Yu Shuang hugged you?"
"Yes, I think she probably mistook me for you. I tried to push her away, but she put a sleeping pill in my mouth. Plus, I drank some alcohol last night and was a bit tipsy. Out of a man's instinct, I couldn't resist at all..."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuxuan's expression grew increasingly grim, and he angrily interrupted Mu Guangcheng, saying, "You're a real bastard!"
Qi Yuxuan stood up and punched Mu Guangcheng in the face.
Twilight City stumbled and nearly fell, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth.
Twilight City lowered his head and said softly, "I know I did something wrong, but I really couldn't control myself. Besides, Miss Rain Frost doesn't seem to be resisting. I swear, I will take responsibility for Miss Rain Frost."
Qi Yuxuan paced back and forth, his heart filled with anger and confusion. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
He turned around, looked at Twilight City, and said coldly, "Do you know that Rain Frost has always had feelings for me? How could you do this?"
Twilight City looked up and said sincerely, "I know, but I also know that you haven't shown any interest in Rain Frost. I love her and am willing to spend my whole life taking care of her. Please believe me, I will treat her well."
Qi Yuxuan remained silent for a moment, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided.
He sighed deeply and said, "Okay, I'll consider it. But you have to understand, now is not the time. She just tried to kill herself. If she finds out the truth, she might try to kill herself a second time. You need to be mentally prepared."
“What should we do then?” Twilight asked.
"Don't tell her about this yet. You should visit her more often in the future and make her happy. Who knows, she might gradually accept you. Then you can tell her the truth and marry her," Qi Yuxuan said.
Twilight City nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, Yu Xuan. This is the only way for now."
Meanwhile, Xiao Cui overheard all of this outside the door, her heart filled with worry.
She hurriedly closed the door and returned to Qi Yushuang's room.
She saw Qi Yushuang lying on the bed, her eyes filled with confusion and unease.
Xiao Cui stepped forward and asked softly, "Miss, what exactly did you do last night?"
Qi Yushuang raised her head, a tear glistening in her eyes, and whispered, "I gave myself to Brother Xuan."
Xiao Cui originally wanted to tell Qi Yushuang the truth.
But she was truly afraid, truly afraid that Qi Yushuang would have a second moment of despair and commit suicide, and that she would face the danger of her whole family going to jail.
So she held Qi Yushuang's hand tightly and comforted her, "Miss, no matter what happens, I will be by your side."
After Twilight City left, Qi Yuxuan looked out the window. Sunlight was already shining into the courtyard, and a faint fragrance of flowers filled the air.
Qi Yushuang, dressed in an elegant long dress, came to find Qi Yuxuan with a smile, carrying breakfast.
She knocked gently on the door and heard Qi Yuxuan's voice from inside: "Come in."
Qi Yushuang pushed open the door and entered the study.
Qi Yuxuan was sitting at his desk, looking down and flipping through a military book.
Qi Yuxuan looked up, saw Qi Yushuang, and smiled slightly, but there was a hint of evasion in his eyes.
"Good morning, Brother Xuan," Qi Yushuang greeted with a smile.
"Good morning, Yushuang." Qi Yuxuan nodded, but his gaze quickly returned to the military treatise.
Qi Yushuang noticed that Qi Yuxuan's eyes kept darting away from her, and she secretly wondered, "Could it be that he's shy because of what happened last night?"
Qi Yushuang approached Qi Yuxuan and said softly, "Brother Xuan, can we talk?"
Qi Yuxuan looked up at her, somewhat surprised: "What are you talking about?"
Qi Yushuang took a deep breath and mustered her courage to say, "About us. Brother Xuan, I've always liked you, and what happened last night has only strengthened my resolve. I hope we can be together. Will you marry me?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuxuan's expression immediately turned somewhat awkward.
He knew in his heart that what happened last night was not between him and Qi Yushuang, but between Twilight City.
But he didn't know how to explain it, let alone how to answer Qi Yushuang's suggestion.
He was silent for a moment before finally speaking, "Yu Shuang, this matter... is a bit complicated. I'll explain it to you another time."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Qi Yushuang's eyes, but she still forced a smile and said, "Okay, I understand. Then you should think about it carefully."
Qi Yushuang turned and left the study, her mood becoming heavy.
She didn't understand why Qi Yuxuan reacted this way.
Does he really not like her?
Or is there some other reason?
Qi Yuxuan, on the other hand, fell into deep thought.
He knew that this matter not only concerned him and Qi Yushuang, but also involved Twilight City.
He must find a suitable solution so that no one gets hurt.
So he went to Yin Lihen and asked her for advice.
"Pfft, what?"
Yin Lihen was calmly sipping a cup of tea when he heard this, and he spat it out.
“Old Mu really did this. But if it were me, I wouldn’t have escaped either. He was drunk and drugged. He’s a normal man. Oh dear, how could this happen?” Yin Lihen said.
“But Miss Yushuang is really bold. It seems she is truly in love with you. Sigh,” Yin Lihen added.
“Brother Lihen, I asked you for help to solve a problem, not for you to make things worse here,” Qi Yuxuan said.
To be continued in the next chapter.
