43: Chapter 43 Spring Light Suddenly Exposed

43 -43 Spring Light Suddenly Exposed

Approaching Chen Wanqing’s home, the living room was bathed in a warm light, and the cozy atmosphere suddenly gave Su Xuan a strong sense of being at home.

“If you were my wife and we had a family, how nice would that be?

I could be with you every evening,” Su Xuan said tenderly, leaning back on the sofa.

Caught off guard by his genuine feelings, Chen Wanqing was taken aback, a ripple of emotion stirring within her as she glared at Su Xuan with disdain and snapped, “Stop dreaming!

Shameless!”

“What’s there to be ashamed of?

Aren’t we close, you tell me?” Su Xuan replied with a mischievous smile, his handsome face growing even more compelling as he involuntarily moved closer to Chen Wanqing.

Now that he was home, the lighting made everything much clearer, and Chen Wanqing’s appearance today etched itself into Su Xuan’s pupils.

He couldn’t help but inwardly exclaim: To have such a beauty, I have no regrets in this life!

No matter what, I must win you over!

“Don’t get familiar with me,” Chen Wanqing said coldly, frowning as she questioned him, “Tell me, what did you do tonight?

Getting into fights at the bar, and more than once?

Wow, you’re really something!”

“If you already know, why bother asking me?” Su Xuan retorted with an innocent tone, not bothering to defend himself any longer, already guessing that the police had probably exaggerated the incident when Chen Wanqing visited the station.

Chen Wanqing stared at Su Xuan and demanded, “I’d like to hear how you explain yourself, standing up for a woman, right?”

“Ah,” Su Xuan sighed deeply, feigning a thoughtful expression before falling silent.

“Well, speak up, who’s that woman?

Did you fight those guys because of her?” Chen Wanqing couldn’t conceal her impatience as Su Xuan’s silence only fueled her curiosity about what exactly had happened that evening.

Resting his chin in his hand, Su Xuan looked out the window and said, “Are you jealous?

I can smell a strong scent of vinegar.”

“You’re the one who’s crazy, getting jealous over you!” Chen Wanqing clenched her fists, her normally cool demeanor completely shattered by Su Xuan, and she felt both embarrassed and furious.

Despite her reluctance to admit it, she realized on some level that she was starting to care about Su Xuan.

“That woman is my friend’s sister, strictly speaking, also my sister, I guess,” Su Xuan said indifferently.

“Your sister?” Chen Wanqing’s eyes widened in surprise.

Then, after taking a sip of plain water, Su Xuan continued calmly, “Yeah, I met her sister a long time ago, and she took good care of me.

After that, I got to know her younger sister, who’s still in university.”

Chen Wanqing listened to Su Xuan in silence, without a word to say.

“Tonight, she ran out from her home, and I followed her to a bar.

I saw a few guys trying to drug her and get her drunk, do you think I should have saved her?”

Without a word, she nodded.

In such a scenario, it was only natural to intervene.

Even if Su Xuan didn’t know Lin Mengru, as a man, he should step in to help—it’s a man’s responsibility, which Chen Wanqing could also understand.

“Then, that guy, not knowing better, brought back a bunch of his friends.

There was no escape, so the only choice I had was to fight,” Su Xuan explained, without a hint of concealment, sharing the truth.

After patiently listening to the entire story, Chen Wanqing couldn’t help but grow a bit more appreciative and fond of Su Xuan, her gaze on him now filled with an indefinable meaning.

“Alright, I believe you,” Chen Wanqing asserted.

It seemed that Su Xuan had been pushed into a corner and had no choice but to fight tonight.

“I’ve said all there is to say, shouldn’t we do something else now?

The night is so beautiful, you see…” Su Xuan abruptly changed the subject, his words seemingly a tease.

Chen Wanqing looked at Su Xuan and quickly averted her gaze, unable to control the blush on her cheeks.

“Stop it.

It’s late, and I need to sleep…” Chen Wanqing’s heart raced, maintaining her usual pride, but finding herself resisting Su Xuan’s pull with no strength to do so.

Su Xuan’s smile was brilliantly uncontainable.

“Off you go then!” A pillow was tossed at Su Xuan as Chen Wanqing quickly got up and headed to her room, calling back without turning her head, “Don’t forget to lock the door!”

“Ah!” Su Xuan’s face fell, a self-deprecating smile crossing his features, his heart itching, helplessly he departed.

One can’t rush to eat hot tofu; Su Xuan was well aware of this, especially when it came to women.

Not to be overly hurried, a gradual approach was best.

He had only reached the elevator when the image of Lin Mengru’s graceful figure and flawless face came to mind once again, his concern for Lin Mengru growing, prompting him to decide to visit Lin Mengxue’s home to see if Lin Mengru had made it home safely.

“Is anyone there?” After pressing the doorbell twice with no answer, Su Xuan was wondering when the door suddenly opened.

“What are you doing here?” A cold voice questioned, keeping him at arm’s length, as Lin Mengru glanced at Su Xuan standing at the door.

Surprised, Su Xuan looked at Lin Mengru, unable to stop the reproach that welled up inside him: This girl, so heartless!

I got into a fight and was taken to the station for your sake, and you don’t even say thank you, let alone your attitude towards me?!

“Why do you think I’m here?

I thought you were still at the station, so I came to check on you,” Su Xuan replied irritably, noting that Lin Mengru had no intention of letting him in.

Lin Mengru said, “Thanks for worrying about me, but I’m fine.

You can go.”

With his eyes wide and round, Su Xuan suspected that Lin Mengru’s mind might’ve been affected by some scare at the bar.

Without much consideration, he forced his way into the house.

“Where’s your sister?” He looked around upon entering, not seeing Lin Mengxue, and asked curiously.

Lin Mengru reluctantly closed the door, went into the living room where a variety show was playing on the TV, and just stared at the screen, treating Su Xuan as if he were air.

“Ignoring me?”

“My sister went out on an errand and won’t be back tonight,” Lin Mengru replied coldly.

Before Su Xuan could respond, Lin Mengru said indifferently, “If you have something to say, say it fast.

If not, you can leave.”

“What’s wrong with you tonight?” Su Xuan realized that Lin Mengru’s attitude was extremely abnormal and asked with a solemn expression.

“Nothing’s wrong.

Didn’t you leave with that beauty?

Why do you care about me?” Lin Mengru said in a tone that was both downcast and irritated, before turning to walk toward the restroom.

Upon hearing this, Su Xuan’s mind raced, and in just a few seconds he figured it all out.

A wry smile appeared on his lips as he thought to himself: Ah, it’s jealousy after all!

Did she see Chen Wanqing at the police station?

The jealousy between the two women had put Su Xuan in an unpleasant situation, so he just sat on the couch and gave a bitter smile.

The restroom light turned on and the sound of water grew clearer.

With a troubled and complex mood, Lin Mengru decided to take a bath to soothe her emotions and relieve her fatigue.

Su Xuan didn’t pay much attention and listlessly watched the TV, wondering how he would explain things to Lin Mengru later.

After half an hour passed, Su Xuan turned off the TV and closed his eyes to doze when he suddenly heard a “click” sound.

In the blink of an eye, the entire house was pitch black, save for the moonlight visible through the window.

Su Xuan opened his eyes in alarm and exclaimed, “Power outage?!”

“Ah!” Almost at the same time, a cry of surprise came from the restroom.

The sudden power outage had indeed startled Lin Mengru.

Standing up by the dim light of his phone, he quickly walked towards the restroom, saying in a calm voice, “Don’t be scared, it’s probably just a trip.

Where are the candles?”

“I can’t remember,” replied Lin Mengru from the restroom, wrapping herself with a towel, quickly wiping the water droplets from her body, “You look for them!”

“Okay.”

Su Xuan returned to the living room and used his phone as a light source, opening drawers and searching, but still couldn’t find where the candles were.

“Ah… it hurts!”

A clear cry came from the restroom.

Lin Mengru’s soft voice sounded more like a whimper.

Su Xuan’s face showed astonishment, and he was surprised at heart, immediately rushing toward the restroom door.

Reaching out to push the door open, he then hesitated, knowing it wouldn’t be appropriate, yet he was anxious about Lin Mengru’s condition.

In the process of searching for a towel, Lin Mengru lost her footing due to the invisible wet floor, stumbled, and fell.

Luckily, she frantically grabbed the restroom’s handrail.

She landed seated on the floor, her arms terribly sore, and her ankle hit the edge of the toilet, the pain almost bringing her to tears.

“I accidentally fell…” said Lin Mengru in a painful tone, weakly responding.

Struggling to rise up with her right hand, Lin Mengru hastily wrapped the towel around herself.

She tried to walk forward, but the intense pain in her ankle was unbearable, forcing her to stop.

“Can I come in?” At this moment, Su Xuan had no other thoughts but concern for Lin Mengru.

He asked eagerly.

“Yeah…”

Su Xuan pushed the door and stepped closer, the phone light illuminating Lin Mengru’s body, highlighting the fresh red marks on her left arm.

Su Xuan’s face was filled with urgent concern as he helped her up.

“I can’t walk… hit my foot, it hurts so much.” Lin Mengru said, grimacing in pain and embarrassment while she stood on her toes.

Without a word, after a moment of hesitation, Su Xuan decisively bent down, stretched out his arms, and lifted her up.

The act moved Lin Mengru, her eyes brimming with tears as she momentarily forgot the pain in her body.

“Thank you,” Lin Mengru said softly.
