So Even if Mu Ling did not say more, she could still see that he had loosened up.
Too bad. It was too bad
She would have always been kind to Mu Ling if he had not been cold to her and angry with her because of those people’s words!
It was too late now
Chen Qingyan laughed at him, but there were tears in her eyes, with bitterness.
“Qingyan?” Mu Ling raised his head in surprise and looked at Chen Qingyan with an incomprehensible gaze.
Chen Qingyan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. “I am so happy, Brother Ling. You have finally forgiven me. Now, I will never have to worry about being abandoned by you again.”
Mu Ling tightly wrapped his arms around Chen Qingyan’s waist as he looked at her apologetically.
He watched everything that Chen Qingyan had done these days, and all his anger was gone.
Besides, the punishment given to her was already enough. If they kept pushing her, he and Chen Qingyan would be separated from each other in the future.
How could he bear that

“Pa!”
All the elders of the Mu family, except the old master, had gathered together in the Mu family’s main hall with anger in their eyes.
Mu Xingyi slammed his hand on the table and growled, “Young Manor Master, how long are you going to keep that woman, Chen Qingyan?”
Mu Ling had his hands behind his back as he coldly said, “This is my business; it’s up to me!”
“Young Manor Master, have you forgotten about the Mu family’s lost spirit herbs? It was Chen Qingyan who had stolen it and taken it somewhere else! Don’t say that she had swapped the spirit herbs with someone for the old master’s sake. The spirit herb that she brought back had almost killed the old master!”
He was so stubborn and proud.
Everyone dispersed moodily and all the uncles of the Mu family were so furious.
They used to love Chen Qingyan, but not anymore. They loathed her now!
***
After leaving the clan hall, Mu Ling did not go to Chen Qingyan, nor did he go to see Su Yi again. He wanted to leave the Mu family to get some air.
As he walked out, he sensed that someone was watching him. That cold, murderous gaze had made his face darkened as one corner of his mouth curled into a mocking smile.
This time, Mu Ling did not head toward the crowded area, but walked further and further away, and soon reached a plot of barren land outside the city.
He stopped once he had almost reached the barren land and said in a respectful tone, “You can come out now.”
