Yin Shaojie listened as she told her story with intermittent pauses in between. When he heard that she had to take sleeping pills in order to fall asleep, his heart seemed as if someone had ruthlessly pulled on it a few times, tore it open, and sprinkled salt onto it.

The pain seemed to have sent his heart into convulsions.

At this moment, he felt so guilty he could kill himself!

Dammit!

How could he have let her suffer so much pain?

She was clearly the person he had the least intention of hurting. She was the treasure that he wanted to hold in his hand and take good care of.

But he was also the one who had hurt her the deepest.

If she hadn"t been extremely hurt, how could it still have left such a great trauma in her that just by sitting on the plane, it would cause her to remember all the pain from before?

Yin Shaojie lifted up her face and carefully planted a kiss on it.

"Sorry… Sorry… Sorry…"

Besides those three words, he didn"t know what else to say.

Mu Xiaoxiao was kissed on her lips.

This time, the kiss was very gentle. There was only love and concern for her without a single shred of l.u.s.t involved.

Her heart, which was initially tainted with sadness, was slowly filled with warmth.

She hugged him, pressing against his back tightly as she sobbed and said. "From now onward… You"re not allowed to cause me so much sadness again…"

She was afraid of it, and she didn"t want to go through it a second time.

"Yeah, I won"t do that again, ever. I promise." Yin Shaojie kissed her lips lovingly, then he kissed her nose, and he carefully kissed almost every part of her face.

The two embraced each other tightly.

Yin Shaojie"s said in a deep voice, "If… I ever hurt you again, you can beat me, yell at me, and even kill me, but you absolutely can"t leave me like before, alright?"

You can"t bear this kind of heartache. Likewise, how can I bear the despair of losing you?

The plane landed.

Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie once again set foot on China.

The two walked out of the VIP pa.s.sageway, and from afar, they saw Song s.h.i.+jun.

"Qiqing—" Mu Xiaoxiao ran over with open arms, but she hugged nothing as she didn"t see Han Qiqing around.

Song s.h.i.+jun thought that she was going to hug him, and he had even opened his arms to receive her.

Little did he expect that the Great Mistress Mu would completely ignore him, leaving him with his arms open like a fool.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked around and asked him, "Where"s Qiqing?"

Song s.h.i.+jun put down his arms and said to her, "Qiqing didn"t come. I"m the only one here to pick you guys up."

Therefore, I"m the one who is acting the most like a true friend. Is she not intending to give me a warm hug?

The son of the mayor expressed his sadness.

Mu Xiaoxiao asked uncomprehendingly, "Why didn"t she come?"

On the plane, she had already thought about how she would get a warm hug from Qiqing, then Qiqing would get mad at her about how she could just return to the States without a word, and then she would have to explain the matter to Qiqing…

But Qiqing didn"t come!

The Great Mistress Mu expressed that she was a little saddened by this.

Song s.h.i.+jun snorted and said, "Oh, her. She went to accompany Lu Yichen. Today, Lu Yichen"s Mama is getting discharged, so she went to help. The girl values her dates over her mates. She only cares about Lu Yichen, not for us."

Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised, her eyes widened as she asked curiously, "Eh? When did Qiqing become so close with Lu Yichen? And is Auntie Lu all right? Can she be discharged already?"

"I don"t know. You can ask her when you see her," Song s.h.i.+jun said, looking like he could not be bothered to explain.
