Let’s just leave it at that! After all, her mother’s medical expenses... are like an immense mountain weighing down on her heart, successfully turning her into Chu Mucheng’s dependent, unable to leave. Now the only thing she can do is wait until Chu Mucheng feels tired of her and lets her go! Before that, there’s nothing she can do! Nor does she have any room to resist. Finally, Chu Mucheng let go of her, and Tao Zhixiang breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t know why Chu Mucheng was here this time, could it be just to vent and then... leave? Updates are released by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩 However, seeing Chu Mucheng lying on the bed, he had no intention of leaving. Tao Zhixiang felt a bit surprised. "Are you... planning to stay here tonight?" Chu Mucheng frowned, "What, are you trying to kick me out?" Tao Zhixiang hurriedly shook her head. Of course, she didn’t intend to drive him away, it’s just... "I didn’t expect you would come!" Chu Mucheng snorted, "When I come, do I really have to report to you in advance?" Alright, let’s just pretend she didn’t ask anything. Continuing this topic would only be self-degrading. However, her action did provoke Chu Mucheng’s dissatisfaction, his handsome eyebrows knitted tightly. This woman, she only offered him her back? Does she really not want to see him so much? Chu Mucheng just felt somewhat stifled, but inexplicably, he recalled Tao Zhixiang’s phone password. It was his birthday... Chu Mucheng didn’t think it was just a coincidence. But since Tao Zhixiang didn’t mention it, he didn’t ask either. Subconsciously, Chu Mucheng reached out and clasped Tao Zhixiang’s shoulder. At that moment, he felt Tao Zhixiang’s body tense up. "Why, are you so afraid of me?" Chu Mucheng spoke, his tone carrying discontent. Tao Zhixiang didn’t turn around, just softly replied, "I’m tired, don’t come over again!" Chu Mucheng froze for a moment, quickly realizing that she was worried he might do something to her again! Thus, he chuckled lightly. "Do you think I want to do something to you? If I really wanted to, even if you face away from me, you couldn’t escape! Chu Mucheng sighed, suddenly feeling that this little woman... Hmm, seemed so full of grievances. He recalled when she previously cried out in pain, but instead of showing any tenderness, he bullied her even more harshly. Thinking of that moment, a soft spot unexpectedly arose within Chu Mucheng’s heart. He sighed, reaching out to pull Tao Zhixiang into his arms, his actions seemingly gentler.
