Chapter 532 - Master Mu’s Fiancèe? (3)
Xi Xiaye was dazed while she was trapped in her vortex of thoughts as she felt pain in her chest.
She was not sure whether she should be angry at him for keeping quiet about this, or to pity him for this horrible past! No wonder he would be anxious whenever she mentioned Mu Lingtian. He had no idea how to express the horrible feeling within him.
Inspector Zhang observed Xi Xiaye and noticed that her face had turned pale, so he sighed. “Well, it’s not exactly a big deal. Who doesn’t have a past of their own? Just think of it as a tiny event in his life. Mu Yuchen is genuinely nice to you. Whether he truly loved Gu Lingsha before or not, you’re the one he’s married to now. Understand?” He threw Xi Xiaye a concerned glance.
Xi Xiaye took a deep breath as she raised her head, glancing up at the sky quietly as she blinked her eyes. Her expression calmed down. “I’m alright. Please continue.”
Inspector Zhang nodded. “Qi Qiming is a sly fox. I probably would’ve missed it if I were any less observant, especially if it were people keeping an eye on him during this period of time, not just me. Your husband is probably doing the same thing as well.”
Xi Xiaye went silent for a long while. “Thank you, Inspector Zhang. You don’t have to investigate it anymore…”
In a surprise, Inspector Zhang asked, “You’re going to stop? Don’t you want to know the truth?”
Xi Xiaye took a deep breath as she closed her eyes to calm down. Control returned to her eyes once again when she reopened them. “I want to know, but I also hope that… I can know the truth from him. He’s looking for some answers too and I can’t do anything about it. The only thing I can do now is to have faith in him.”
Inspector Zhang was stunned for a moment. He stared at Xi Xiaye for some time before he put a smile on. He nodded as he looked over in the same direction as Xi Xiaye.
“With a man like Mu Yuchen, he’s not someone who’d marry a girl so easily. I’m not sure if you’re the lucky one, or he’s the lucky one. You’re a smart person, Xi Xiaye. However, not everyone can see things through,” Inspector Zhang suddenly said.
Xi Xiaye smiled. “Did you find out anything about Qi Lei, Inspector Zhang?”
From the words he said just now, Xi Xiaye noticed that the conflict between Qi Lei and Mu Yuchen…
“I was just about to mention it. Qi Lei, Gu Lingsha, and Mu Lingtian were very close. Although he’s not on friendly terms with Qi Feng, they’d compromise for the sake of Mu Lingtian, and the siblings seem to have feelings for Gu Lingsha…”
Inspector Zhang did not continue since Xi Xiaye pretty much understood everything.
However, it pained her heart when she heard Gu Lingsha was once his fiancèe whom he had not told her about. Instead, he said she was just an unimportant person. She was heartbroken when she heard about Mu Lingtian’s betrayal from Inspector Zhang.
Such a painful experience would surely leave a mark. A fiancèe eloping with someone else, the betrayal of a brother, which indirectly caused an accident and ended up with Mu Lingtian dead and Mu Lingshi disfigured… What else could be worse?
She suddenly felt that she could relate to the pain very well. While she felt horrible knowing he had had a fiancèe before, she bore the sharp pain out of concern for him too.
She did not want to admit that she was jealous right now.
Just who exactly was Gu Lingsha that he would agree to marry her? Even both Qi Feng and Qi Lei had fallen in love with her!

…
The sun started moving west. It was 4 p.m. in the evening.
Inspector Zhang left swiftly whilst Xi Xiaye remained at the same spot for a long while. She stood facing the wind as the surrounding air was shrouded in a depressive vibe.
She sighed after a while and her expression clouded over.
Xi Xiaye wanted to go home when she got back into the car, but Ji Zitong insisted to go to the hospital. Of course, it was an order from Mu Yuchen. Xi Xiaye was pretty annoyed, but they arrived at Hospital T soon, so she went inside.
At Hospital T, Dr. Wang gave Xi Xiaye a thorough check-up. While Xi Xiaye was sitting on a bench waiting for her results, Ji Zitong went to fill in the forms for her.
It was late in the evening at the moment, so the normal office hours ended when they arrived at the hospital. After some time, even the hospital became empty and quiet.
She was sitting alone on the bench, and there was no one in the corridor. She looked out the window and noticed the night was falling. The sky was turning gray and eventually darker.
She had a lot of complications inside. For him to make a marriage proposal willingly and for the Mu family to accept that woman, she must be exceptional, maybe much better than her…
Then, Mu Lingtian…
She took a deep breath as a depressed feeling hit her. She bent over exhausted and covered her face with her cold hands as the stormy clouds in her heart covered her tiny body.
Should she ask him about it?
Why did he not tell her about this before?
Was there something between Gu Lingsha and him in the past?
He said he had only met her several times.
Many questions troubled her. She felt like she was in an endless dream as a black vortex stormed over her and she had issues dealing with it to the point that she did not even notice her phone vibrating.
Her phone continued to vibrate. It had been going on for some time when she finally came back to her senses and noticed it.
