Run Away from My Honey a Thousand Times - Chapter 71

Chapter 71 Why Pretend to Be Stupid
“He …”

“Whoosh, it’s that man from last night!”

“He, it really is him” The voices of the colleagues were filled with indescribable excitement as they stared fiercely at the man who passed by.

Ling Yueyi was expressionless on the road, but his expression gradually sank due to the tiny sounds.

Mu Tong raised her head curiously, but she met a pair of ice-cold and dark eyes. She was stunned for a moment, then the table pounded and a large food box was placed on her table.

“You, you’re here to deliver my lunch?” She was a little surprised.

Ling Yue glanced at her with an unhappy expression and then glared at the food box. He clearly meant that he would immediately finish it for Lao Tzu.

Mu Tong was truly shocked and spoiled, and she was extremely uncomfortable. Because so many pairs of eyes were shot at them, she pulled out a forced smile and roughly said to her colleague, “It’s lunch time, aren’t you going to eat?”

They also tactfully left part of the room, but there were still some female colleagues who stuck to their guard and were fascinated by his appearance.

“Why are you here?” She asked in a low voice.

‘”Can’t I come? Or are you here to fight?” Ling Yue said with a smelly face.

“Strike your dead head!” She stepped on him angrily. “Don’t you know that you are attracting bees and butterflies? You actually came here to find me.”

This morning, she was almost bored to death by her female colleagues, and she wanted to ask around for news about him. Now that it was good, he automatically delivered it to her.

Suddenly, she thought of those women who coveted him. Mu Tong’s mood also became bad. She pulled his tie and warned him seriously, “Ling Yue, listen carefully. If you dare to randomly find a woman for me, I will definitely not spare you!”

Just like he said, even if he pretended to be stupid, just his appearance alone could attract many women’s moths to the fire.

“If you dare to summon rotten peach blossoms for me, I will cast lots on you in the middle of the night!”

She roared domineeringly. She didn’t know what she was feeling. In short, she felt that this man was hers, so no one else would want to share it!

When he heard what she said, his lips curled up and he was in a good mood. He quickly kissed her lips and opened the food box. He said happily, “Honey, you must be hungry. I brought you a lot of dishes. You must eat more.”

Ling Yue acted as if he had changed his nature and served her. He held a slice of beef and handed it to her lips, “You need to eat more protein.”

Seeing the gentleness in his eyes, Mu Tong felt a little awkward. He opened his mouth slightly and chewed on the beef.

“Have a sip of soup.” He scooped out a ginseng soup and passed it to her lips.

The kissing between them caused the female colleagues to be secretly saddened.

This man was so perfect and considerate that it was not like what Mu Tong had said. She was simply trying to destroy the male god so as to eliminate her competitors.

Just as everyone was secretly watching them show their affection.

Suddenly, a shrill voice shouted at them with surprise.

“Why is he here?”

Mu Tong raised his head and stared blankly at Shu Kaiya and Ling Ziyao. Ling Yue also saw them. Suddenly, a complicated expression flashed in his eyes.

When the other employees saw them, they couldn’t help but shout respectfully, “Mrs. Ling, general manager.”

Mu Xiaotong remembered that they didn’t want her to reveal her identity in the Ling family, so she called them the same.

Ling Ziyao smiled at Shu Kaiya and said, “Mom, Ziqing is waiting for us downstairs.” He then looked thoughtfully at Mu Tong and nodded at her, indicating that they were leaving.

Just as Mu Tong was about to reply with a smile, Ling Yue suddenly pounced on her like he was crazy. He stretched out his arm and directly picked up a bottle of red ink from her desk and poured it into his mouth.

The bright red ink dyed his entire mouth red. Mu Tong was frightened stiff. His eyes were empty and filled with ruthlessness. The shocking red color dyed his handsome face.

“Don’t, don’t drink!” She shivered nervously as she grabbed the red ink from his hand.

Shu Kaiya and Ling Ziyao were also shocked by his actions. Just as Ling Ziyao was about to step forward to help stop him, Shu Kaiya grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, “Don’t go over there. We can’t reveal his identity.” She said in a low voice.

Mu Xiaotong’s afterglow swept past them, as well as the astonished employees in the surroundings. She felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She knew that Ling Yue was doing this to prevent Shu Kaiya from seeing any clues.

“I…” She looked at him, just as she was about to say something, she saw him staring at her with a dazed expression. His gaze was cold and distant, as if he was looking at a stranger.

Mu Tong pulled out a forced smile and held his hand, “I’ll take you to the bathroom.”

Suddenly, she cried out in alarm.

“Ah!”

Ling Yue shook off her hand in disgust, glared at her angrily, and swept the desktop files of her office all over the floor.

Mu Xiaotong looked at him and her heart jumped. She immediately rushed forward and hugged his waist, dragging him back. “No!” She shouted nervously.

She was seeing his right hand grab at the sharp blade on her desk, and she knew he would grab it, and then wound her own hand.

Ling Yue finally stopped moving. He was stunned for a moment.

Actually, he shouldn’t have stopped. Because Shu Kaiya’s woman was present, he should have done more crazy things. She wouldn’t doubt him. However, the woman who was hugging his waist quivered and made him obediently calm down.

Seeing that he really didn’t move, she heaved a sigh of relief.

He walked up to him, stroked his face, and kissed him on the face, “I’ll take you to the bathroom.” Her voice softly coaxed him.

Ling Yue was a little confused. His right arm was held by her, but his feet unconsciously followed her. When he passed Shu Kaiya and the others, he even forgot about the scheming in the past. It was as if he was truly shocked by something and looked like he was dumbfounded.

She looked at him and her heart ached. He had been pretending to be stupid for so many years to cover up his desperation.

“Are you stupid? Even if you meet Shu Kaiya, there’s no need for them to fight like this, right?”

She took a towel and carefully wiped the ink stains on his face. She looked at him worriedly, “Ling Yue, did you really swallow the ink just now? Should you go to the hospital to have a stomach lavage? I wonder if it’s harmful to the human body. No matter what, it’s safer to go to the hospital.”

As she spoke, she put down her towel and pulled him out of the room.

Suddenly, he pulled her back into his arms and hugged her tightly. His pure aura filled her nose, bringing with it a cold and thin feeling.

His head was buried in her neck. Mu Tong did not know what was wrong with him, but he felt that he was a little strange. He was not like a rogue who usually acted spoiled, but more like he really wanted to hide in her embrace, hiding from something and bringing about some loneliness.

“There’s no need to go. I drank something even worse.” He whispered to her.

Mu Tong did not say anything, but felt that his words made her heart feel a little surprised and distressed. She did not know how he had walked over these past few years. After all, a normal person had to pretend to be like that, so it must be hard for him.

After a long silence, he suddenly whispered in her ear, “Mu Tong, I like you like this. I feel very happy to care about me like this.”

His voice was very soft and hoarse, as if it was filled with trembling surprise.

Mu Tong felt that something was wrong with him. She was not accustomed to him like this. She stammered, “What do you care? If you continue to hurt yourself like that, I won’t be able to help but kick you away.”

He suddenly laughed and hugged her even tighter. The laughter was very pure and Mu Tong was a little stunned. This was the first time she had heard him laugh like this.

“If only you were the one who accompanied me all the time.” He looked at her and said inexplicably. Mu Tong did not understand what he said, but this man’s eyes were really beautiful and clean.

Leng Xiao had said that she did not understand his past. There was nothing wrong with that. She did not understand him. She was really surprised to see him like this today.

“Ling Yue, I think if your autism isn’t cured, it should be very cute.” She looked at him. His handsome face didn’t have so much scheming and wasn’t that complicated.

His gaze was a little hazy, and he shook his head. “Not good, no one was willing to talk to me at that time, except …” Other than that woman.

Seeing his inexplicable appearance, Mu Xiaotong wanted to laugh, “What a pity. You said that you were really sick in the past. If only I knew you before, then I could bully you.”

“You didn’t,” he whispered self-deprecatingly. “You just turned a blind eye to me.”

Sadness flashed through his eyes as he looked at her. We met when Mu Xiaotong was young, but you never remembered me. You didn’t even look at me.

“What are you talking about?” She could not hear him clearly.

“Nothing!” “Mu Xiaotong, you’ve always been this stubborn since you were a child. You’re so stubborn that you can’t do it yourself, but you insist on trying,” he thought of her vile behavior in the past and couldn’t help but hold a grudge against her.

He remembered that when she was a child, she wanted to climb trees to steal peaches, and ordered him to squat down and let her step on her shoulders with a domineering expression. In the end, she climbed up and picked peaches herself, but she wouldn’t come down.

“Ling Yue, why are you pretending to be stupid?” She suddenly asked him.

With his ability, it would be too simple if he only wanted to retrieve Madam Ling. However, he was still hiding.

He stared at her for a while and said, “I’m looking for something …”

…

He brought her to a cemetery.

He squatted in front of the tombstone, his eyes focused on a black-and-white photo on the tombstone. It was a smiling beautiful woman. She looked friendly, and Ling Yue’s eyes looked very similar to hers.

He remained silent quietly. He used his hand to tidy up the withered flowers around him and put on the fresh ones.

“She is a very smiling person. She likes Bai He Hua the most. Although her memories at that time were very vague, I still remember that she liked to hug me and praise me.” His voice was low and lonely.

Mu Tong also crouched down and looked at him quietly.

“Mu Tong, if she was still here, she would definitely like you.” It’s just that she’s gone.

His gaze became somewhat deep. His large hand suddenly clenched her right hand tightly. Suddenly, his voice became somewhat depressed and hoarse. “She was killed by someone.”

She was shocked. Someone actually killed the Ling Family’s First Madam?

Tiredness flashed through his eyes. “What I’m looking for is the murderer who killed her …”
