Run Away from My Honey a Thousand Times - Chapter 38
Chapter 38 The Accident That Night
“I want to go out for a while.”
Mu Tong said calmly to Qin Yu, then put a plate of cooked chocolate in her hand, “Help me bring these upstairs to Ling Yue. He wants to eat them.”
Qin Yu glanced at the chocolate on the plate. The Third Young Master had never liked these sweet and greasy things since he was young, but it was fine. Perhaps he had liked them during this period of time.
Mu Tong lowered his head and looked at the text message on his phone. He pursed his lips tightly and took a deep breath, saying, “I might not come back for dinner. If Ling Yue waited for me, tell him not to wait.”
After she finished speaking, she immediately turned around and left in a hurry.
“Where are you going?” Qin Yu looked at her back and couldn’t help but ask her.
These days, this Mu Xiaotong and the Third Young Master were getting along quite well. She also respected her three points. However, today, she seemed to be a little strange.
Mu Xiaotong stopped and did not turn around. She directly replied, “The people from the Mu Clan asked me out. I will come back later.”
Qin Yu frowned and said, “No matter how complicated your Mus is, you absolutely cannot do anything to let Third Young Master down. Third Young Master is very persistent about his own things.” She reminded him.
She had also heard that a few days ago, Mu Xiaotong had pushed down her sister, causing her to almost miscarry. The Ling Family would not interfere in this matter. As long as the conflict of interest had nothing to do with the Ling Family, the Ling Family would not care what Mu Xiaotong did.
However, if Mu Tong did anything to offend Third Young Master, Lings would not let her go as long as it was a little bit. Especially her childhood sweetheart. Lings did not allow her to tangle with that man, and Third Young Master would not forgive her for betraying him.
“I know I’m already Ling Yue’s wife.” She said indifferently, didn’t stay any longer, and directly left.
Regardless of whether Ling Yue was sick or not, the monopoly in his heart was the same paranoia. He had seriously asked her if she wanted to get rid of Mu Xiaopei’s child.
To him, betrayal was an unforgivable crime, and even innocent children could not be spared. Therefore, she didn’t dare to imagine what would happen to this man if she really did something out of line.
Mu Tong did not think that Ling Yue loved him. His personality was too rational, so rational that it was almost heartless. There were many emotional thoughts that he did not understand at all. So he just said what he wanted to say and did what he thought was right.
“He probably knew that he had run away and was going to lose his temper again. This man is really not easy to serve.” Mu Tong got into the driver’s car and muttered to himself.
“Third Young Madam, where are we going?” The driver asked.
“Cherry Blossom Western Restaurant.”
Mu Tong’s gaze turned to the car window. Memories of the past flashed through her mind. The Cherry Blossom Western Restaurant in City A was once her favorite place to go with Song Ruchen.
He lowered his head and looked at the text message on his phone.
It was Song Ruchen who sent it to her. Originally, she didn’t want to pay attention to them, but …
Tongtong, Pepe’s baby is fine. You don’t have to worry. Remember the cherry blossom restaurant? Can you come over? I have something to tell you. I’ll be waiting for you here. Tongtong, I’m sorry.
Excuse me?
She closed her eyes. These three words are so heavy. Do you think that I can forgive your betrayal after you say these three words?
However, she still wanted to know, so she decided to meet him.
“Welcome.”
Mu Tong looked at the layout of the Western Cherry Blossom Restaurant. Everything was exactly the same as before she left the country. The corners of her lips curled into a mocking smile.
She had only taken a few steps into the restaurant when she found the man’s location. Just like in the past, she could always find him quickly and attach herself to him.
Song Ruchen still loved the white shirt as much as before. He looked very refreshed and his entire body emitted a faint scholarly aura. It made people feel relaxed and comfortable to get close to him, as gentle and considerate as his personality.
He seemed to have sensed something. He suddenly turned around and was stunned for a moment before pulling out a forced smile. “You’re here.” Even his voice seemed as gentle as before.
Mu Tong lowered his eyes and replied indifferently. He walked to the seat beside him and sat down.
“I ordered a Tiramisu and iced orange tea for you. The dessert here is still the same as before. Try it.” With a smile on his face, he reached out to receive the food handed over by the waiter and gently placed it in front of her.
Mu Tong stared fixedly at Tiramisu on the table. She remembered that her favorite food in the past was the cake in this shop, especially this kind of Tiramisu.
That year she had a high fever in Mus and Fang Mei said it was too late to take her to the hospital tomorrow. The servant saw that her fever was too high, so she couldn’t bear to call Song Ruchen. She remembered that he had rushed over in a hurry and was still wearing pajamas. He rushed into her room and directly carried her to the hospital.
He was very considerate and spent the whole evening with her, coaxing her into telling her jokes. Song Ruchen was the kind of person who didn’t know how to express himself, so the joke he told that night was really cold, but she felt that it was very pleasant to hear.
He saw that she looked sick and refused to eat, so he could only come to the restaurant early in the morning and buy a tiramisu to coax her to eat some.
Mu Tong closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He raised his eyes to look at him and said indifferently, “I don’t like this kind of thing anymore. It’s too sweet.”
The smile on Song Ruchen’s lips turned stiff. He didn’t know what to say, or he didn’t have the qualifications to see her.
“Ling Yue didn’t even want to eat chocolate. It was probably because of him.” She casually said this as an explanation.
He looked straight at her and asked hesitantly, “Did you have a good time at the Ling Family?” His voice was soft and filled with a faint hint of repentance.
Mu Tong’s heart trembled. She didn’t know what to say. Marrying Ling Yue was simply a scam. She had just graduated from studying abroad, but Mu Qingtian called her to ask her to return home.
At that time, she wanted to stay abroad to develop, but he said that he returned because he agreed to his marriage with Song Ruchen. It was precisely because of this reason that she came back. It was so ironic that she could wait for her wedding.
Mu Tong looked up at him and did not answer his question. He asked, “Why didn’t you answer my phone?”
He hasn’t answered her phone since the beginning of this year. She lived abroad for four years. For the first three years, it was normal for them to keep on talking on the phone.
Hearing her mention this point in time, Song Ruchen suddenly seemed to recall something. His expression immediately sank, and his gaze became somewhat absent-minded, but he did not answer.
Mu Tong chuckled. She picked up the iced orange tea and took a sip.
“It was because you had sex with my sister at that time, wasn’t it?” He said carelessly.
Song Ruchen glared at the mockery on her face, only to find it dazzling. Cold sweat oozed out of his palms, and he didn’t dare to look at her as if he was guilty.
She put down the drink and looked at him sharply. “Looks like I was right.” Although she really wanted to curse him, when she said that, her mockery turned into self-deprecation.
“Actually, the people of the Song Clan have always disliked me because I wasn’t favored in Mus, and you were with me just because you thought I was fun, right?” She pursed her lips and asked.
At this moment, she really hoped that he would nod his head and dislike her identity like those playboys. In this way, she could convince herself that what he had been doing for her was just an illusion.
“No! That was an accident.” He suddenly became excited, but at the end of his sentence, even he didn’t have the confidence to do so.
“Accident? What accident?” Mu Tong asked, “You know my personality. I’m the kind of person who would kowtow to death even if I was wrong. You said it was an accident, but tell me, was it also an accident that you slept with Mu Xiaopei?”
Her words were very sharp and loud, almost roaring out.
‘”Do you know that I didn’t dare to say anything to you when I was hungry and suffering abroad? I’ve been working hard to leave the Mu Clan and live in the United States with you in the future. But what about you? What you told me was all fake! Are you playing with me for fun?”
At the last word, the tears in her eyes finally fell. She endured it for a long time, and she was extremely persistent about what she believed. She could run away from Lings for him at all costs and look for him.
“Do you know how much I looked forward to that wedding? Do you know how shocked I was when I saw that the groom wasn’t you! Why did you treat me so cruelly? You actually betrayed me with Mu Qingtian and the others!”
Tears rolled down her face. She didn’t want to cry. In the past, she only dared to cry in front of him because she knew that this man would love her. But now, she didn’t want Song Ruchen to be hers anymore.
“Tongtong, don’t cry.”
He was at a loss as he looked straight at the sparkling tears falling from her beautiful pupils and extended his hand to help her wipe them away.
“Don’t touch me, I feel disgusted!” She shouted at him and stood up.
“Song Ruchen, I thank you for taking care of me in the past, but all gratitude ended when you betrayed me. We were cut off.”
She stubbornly wiped away her tears and sneered at his dazed appearance. “I really didn’t think that you would betray me and find my sister. It seems like you two have been in love for a long time. I’m really sorry that I’ve taken over you for such a long time.”
Mu Tong knew best what Song Ruchen’s character was. If he did not love her, then he would definitely not have sex with her. He was a person with a strong sense of responsibility. Therefore, they had been carrying their love behind their backs for a long time, but she was too stupid to see it.
She smiled desolately at him, “Song Ruchen, let’s not meet again.”
“I don’t love her.” He looked at her back as she strode away and said softly.
However, she could no longer hear it. So what if she knew? Song Ruchen lit a cigarette and frowned helplessly. When he found out that she was married to that fool Ling Yue by Mu Qingtian, his heart ached even more than hers. That’s the person he always loved.
“That night’s accident …” His body weakly leaned back against the chair, looking very haggard.
