Chapter 15 Love Could Change A Man

  • Lu Zhanting heard them and he smiled lightly.
  • “I have registered her name on my account,” he said all of a sudden.
  • “Damn, what you did is akin to kidnapping a child,” Nan Lichuan said, feigning shock.
  • “Hahaha.” Du Shaoheng laughed.
  • At this moment, Lu Qing walked toward them hastily.
  • “Greetings to boss, Young Master Han, Young Master Du, and Young Master Nan.” Lu Qing greeted them with respect.
  • “Right, did you find out who did it?” Lu Zhanting inquired in a cold voice.
  • “Yes, it was Miss Mu’s sister.” Lu Qing gave a shortened version of the story.
  • “Damn, her sister is too vicious,” Du Shaoheng remarked.
  • “What kind of feud do they have between them for her to do this to her own sister?” Han Yichen commented in a deep voice.
  • “I got it. Xitong has to decide for herself on this matter,” Lu Zhanting said in an icy voice.
  • “Noted,” Lu Qing acknowledged.
  • Lu Zhanting lifted his head to look at him. His lips narrowed underneath the mask.
  • “Go receive the punishment you deserve for failing to take good care of Miss Mu,” Lu Zhanting ordered coldly.
  • “Yes,” Lu Qing replied.
  • Lu Zhanting and the gang were chatting among themselves in the living room. An idea suddenly hit Han Yichen. He averted his gaze to look at Lu Zhanting.
  • “Do they know about this?” He asked in a solemn voice.
  • Upon hearing that, Lu Zhanting’s eyes were so steely that they could send chills down the spine, as though it was coming from a mountain that had been frozen for more than ten thousand years.
  • “They don’t need to know,” Lu Zhanting said coldly.
  • “Even though they have no idea now, they might discover it in the future. What are we going to do then?” Nan Lichuan prompted sternly.
  • “Hey, you two are overthinking. It’s impossible for them to know if we don’t say a thing,” Du Shaoheng assured.
  • “If they lay a finger on her, I will forget about whatever ties or kinships that are left between us,” said Lu Zhanting in a lethal tone.
  • Han Yichen and Nan Lichuan looked at him. They knew he was a man of his word.
  • As they were in the midst of discussion, Aunt Zhang made a dash down from upstairs in a flurried manner.
  • “Boss, please check on Miss Mu. She is twitching and kicking wildly on the bed and I don’t know why,” Aunt Zhang said worriedly.
  • Lu Zhanting ran upstairs instantaneously.
  • Han Yichen and Nan Lichuan exchanged a glance and followed suit.
  • “Get away from me! You guys are jerks. All of you are going to bully me,” Mu Xitong yelled at the top of her lungs.
  • Lu Zhanting had reached his room and saw Mu Xitong curled up in the corner. She looked like an injured little cub. It was a distressing sight to look at.
  • “Leave us,” Lu Zhanting ordered in a cold voice.
  • “Yes,” the maids answered meekly.
  • The maids bowed at the sight of Han Yichen and the others before leaving.
  • “You guys are jerks,” said Mu Xitong.
  • Lu Zhanting strided toward Mu Xitong while looking at her.
  • Just as she was going to escape, Lu Zhanting responded fast and got hold of her in a deft motion.
  • “Argh, let go of me, you jerk! Let go,” she shouted in a shrill voice.
  • “Xitong, it’s me. Don’t be scared,” Lu Zhanting said in a soothing tone.
  • Han Yichen and the others, who were standing by the door, almost lost their balance upon hearing what he said.
  • Who could explain to them the reason why the man, who always spoke as little as possible in an icy tone, was acting so gently now?
  • For some unknown reasons, the fear in Mu Xitong dissipated all at once at the sight of Lu Zhanting. She felt aggrieved instead. Looking at the mask on his face, she started to sob uncontrollably.
  • “Why are you guys treating me in this way? What did I do wrong? I hate all of you. Mom, why did you leave me here alone? I hate all of you.” Mu Xitong cried her heart out.
  • Lu Zhanting looked at her with distress.
  • As for the guys who were standing by the door, they could not help but feel sorry for her too.
  • “Dear, please don’t cry. I will take vengeance on your behalf,” Lu Zhanting pledged with a tinge of murderous air.
  • Mu Xitong kept crying. She fell asleep in his arms after exhausting herself.
  • With care, he covered her up with a blanket and reached out to tuck a few strands of her stray hair behind her ears.
  • “You guys may head home first,” he said in a deep voice.
  • Han Yichen and Nan Lichuan shot him a glance before nodding their agreement.
  • “We will be leaving now. Please call me if anything happens to Miss Mu,” said Du Shaoheng.
  • The guys bid their farewell to Lu Zhanting and left Yuwan Villa.
  • “It seems like Zhanting is serious this time,” said Han Yichen.
  • “Exactly. He even assigned Lu Qing and the gang to protect Miss Mu,” said Du Shaoheng.
  • “Anything is good for him as long as he can forget about that person,” Nan Lichuan commented with a meaningful look on him.
  • As soon as Nan Lichuan said that, hatred flashed across Du Shaoheng and Han Yichen’s eyes.
  • “Why did you mention that cheap woman?” Han Yichen rebuked at once.
  • “She is not worthy of Zhanting,” Du Shaoheng said coldly.
  • “Hey, I just happened to blurt out her name following the flow of our conversation,” Nan Lichuan clarified with a pursed lip.
  • “Don’t mention her in front of Zhanting. She’s dead to him.” Han Yichen warned all of them coldly.
  • “Okay.” Du Shaoheng and Nan Lichuan nodded their heads.
  • “Alas.” All of a sudden, Nan Lichuan let out a sigh.
  • “What is your problem?” Du Shaoheng questioned.
  • “It’s not about me,” Nan Lichuan replied.
  • “Then what is it about?” Han Yichen questioned.
  • “Ahem, are we going to address her as our sister-in-law every time we meet her? It feels weird, seeing that we are all so much older than her.” Nan Lichuan queried in a dilemma.
  • The corners of Han Yichen’s mouth twitched upon hearing this.
  • Indeed, it felt weird for them to address someone so much younger as their sister-in-law.
  • “What can we do? Since Zhanting has already chosen her, we must treat her the same way as him,” Du Shaoheng said.
  • “Yes. By the way, I didn’t drive here. Du Shaoheng, give me a ride.” Han Yichen asked for the favor naturally.
  • “Oh, I didn’t drive here too.” Nan Lichuan followed suit.
  • As they were saying, they already got into Du Shaoheng’s car without waiting for his response.
  • “Hey, both of you, just take a taxi home,” Du Shaoheng countered.
  • However, the two men were already relaxing in the car with their eyes closed.
  • Looking at the both of them, Du Shaoheng grumbled for a while before getting behind the wheel reluctantly.
  • On the other side.
  • When Xiao Yufei knew that Mu Xitong was brought away, she smashed everything in her room like a crazy woman.
  • As soon as He Yahui stepped into her room, she was welcomed by the chaotic scene of the room.
  • “Yufei, stop smashing things. You are pregnant, please be more careful,” He Yahui said in an attempt to appease her.
  • With that, Xiao Yufei calmed down immediately. She caressed her stomach with her hand.
  • “Mom, Mu Xitong was rescued by someone. That cheap girl!” she said with resentment.
  • “Don’t panic. I know,” said He Yahui.
  • “Mum, what should we do next? As long as Mu Xitong is still alive, I will always be uneasy. I am worried that one day, Zhehao may leave me,” Xiao Yufei said.
  • She was deeply in love with Shao Zhehao. She stole him not only because he was Mu Xitong’s boyfriend. It was because she really loved him.
