One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love

Chapter 653 - 651: At Xiao Jinghuai’s place, do you dare to go back?

Lan Yuzhe felt that this man’s shamelessness seemed even more intense than Bai Jiayin’s. Initially, he didn’t plan to cause trouble, especially since he hadn’t lived in the outside world for a long time.But the man in front of him shattered his thoughts. If he didn’t let him suffer a bit, he wouldn’t know that this world never allows anyone to do as they please.

Lan Yuzhe got up with a smile, and as he left, he said meaningfully: "You’ll come begging me yourself."

"..." Mu Zanting had never begged anyone in his life, and suddenly found it a bit intriguing, with even a small sense of anticipation. "Beauty, I’m willing to beg you in bed. I’ll say it as many times as you want."

Lan Yuzhe cursed "bastard" in his heart and then walked away leisurely. Such a shameless man was indeed rare in the world.

After he left, Mu Zanting picked up the coffee the man had only taken a sip of, sniffed it near his lips, and then drank it all at once, licking his lips with a smiling gaze, "Beauty drank it, so it smells fragrant."

Mu Zanting didn’t sit for long before he got up quickly and returned. He vaguely felt there was some subtle connection with this man, but he couldn’t explain where this connection came from.

Returning to the temporary residence, as soon as he entered, he saw Lin Xue’er standing there, looking at him with desolate eyes, her lips trembling as if she were about to cry.

"What’s wrong?" He casually tossed the car keys aside, undressing as he walked into the room, "Did I make you unhappy somehow?"

Lin Xue’er just bit her lip in silence, simply following the man closely, as if fearful that he might disappear the next moment, so she had to stick close—

"Zhan Ting, wherever you go in the future, I’ll go too!"

"Heh." Mu Zanting’s eyes paused slightly, "Hasn’t it always been this way? For twelve years, haven’t you always stayed by my side, and haven’t I taken you everywhere I go?"

Lin Xue’er kept shaking her head, and the tears eventually fell. She always knew he didn’t like women crying, so she held back just now, but the feeling in her heart was too strong. She had a premonition he was about to leave her, to disappear from her side.

She suddenly embraced him from behind, "Zhan Ting, I can stay with you without recognition, without children, but don’t abandon me, okay?"

The hand that was pouring wine suddenly stopped. He glanced at the translucent glass in front of him and curled a mischievous smile, "Xue’er, you know I’m not a good man. If you have a chance to leave me, just leave. There’s no need to die with me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xue’er became even more agitated, her grip on the man tightening with all her strength, "You’re, you’re really going to leave me? Why? Is it because I didn’t listen or made you dislike me?"

Mu Zanting took a sip of wine and didn’t immediately reply. Only when the wine slipped down his throat did he seem a bit intoxicated. Rarely did he speak a truth in front of a woman: "Actually, I never truly loved you."

He’s never loved anyone in his life, at least that’s what he remembers—

"But I love you!" Lin Xue’er buried her face in the man’s back, feeling utterly desolate, "I abandoned everything just to love you. Twelve years, isn’t enough to warm your heart?"

"Cough cough..."

Suddenly came a violent coughing sound. Lin Xue’er felt something sticky in her hands. Soon she smelled a bloody odor, changing from light to strong, completely overwhelming her.

She felt the man trembling, his hand suddenly grabbed hers, scaring her into quickly breaking free. At this point, the man, without her support, suddenly fell to the ground, still continuously spitting blood.

Lin Xue’er was instantly frightened and at a loss, she knelt down and cradled the man in her arms, "Zhan Ting, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me."

The man’s face grew increasingly pale, yet he wore a smile, like a century-old lonely heart finally finding rare solace, weakly saying: "I, I must have been poisoned. I’ll tell you, you do this. First, go get my coat pocket, there are a few things inside—"

"Oh, okay..." Lin Xue’er was already so frantic she couldn’t tell direction, only able to follow his words blindly. She stumbled and brought the clothes over, knelt in front of the man saying, "What should I look for? Is there something here?"

Mu Zanting still smiled, more infuriatingly than ever, "There are some documents in my pocket, take them out for me."

Lin Xue’er obediently complied, then she saw a man’s face prominently appear on them. No, it should be a very beautiful man’s face.

After careful examination, she sensed something wrong. Perhaps this isn’t a man, but a woman, because of the short hair, wearing a suit and tie, she instinctively thought it was a man. But if it’s a man, he looks too pretty.

She’s considered a top beauty. But in front of this face, had to concede—

Looking at the name, Lan Yuzhe.

This name truly matched this person’s appearance, beautiful enough to captivate.

Mu Zanting noticed her odd reaction, and smirked, "Heh, didn’t expect even you got captivated by him."

"..." Frightened, Lin Xue’er immediately threw the documents, and upon regaining her senses she suddenly realized something wrong. Why did he use "also"?

Could it be...

Thinking of that possibility, her bones began to creak. Because of this Lan Yuzhe, he said those things to her just now?

She stayed by his side for twelve years, and yet couldn’t compare to someone he just met?

Or have they been "secretly moving" for a long time, only now intending to reveal everything?

Lin Xue’er didn’t know which possibility, her mind now tangled like a knot, just knowing she couldn’t let him leave her. Even if she died, she wanted to die by his side. In the underworld, Mu Zanting would only be Lin Xue’er’s man, no one else could touch him.

"So is it because of him?" Lin Xue’er asked with empty eyes.

Mu Zanting’s body was weak, probably no one else would be poisoned and still be so carefree, "Yes, and no, I’ve wanted to ditch you before he appeared. But you really make me...headache a bit. Lin Xue’er, sometimes I think you’re more like a man, too stubborn. Knowing that sticking with someone ready to die anytime won’t end well, yet you insist on staying."

"You women all like to find someone worth entrusting your life with, do you think I seem like that kind of man?"

"..."

Seeing her silent, Mu Zanting struggled to support himself, then laboriously bent down to pick up the documents on the ground, slowly wiping the blood off them, "Heh, really vicious, dare to poison me."

Lin Xue’er hadn’t figured out the situation yet. If he really had an unclear relationship with that Lan Yuzhe, she’d directly stab him again, then commit suicide.

But, things were uncertain, so she must try to survive. She hurried to bring him a towel to wipe away the blood, asking, "How can I find the antidote?"

"This Lan Yuzhe lives with Xiao Jinghuai... dare to go back?"
