Chapter 527 He Was Her Last Warmth

g seems to be very interested in me"Mu Xing awkwardly retracted her gaze, fell silent for a moment, then couldn't help but ask: "Dr. Yu, where are you from Where did you live before""I'm from Hangzhou...The streets were silent and deserted at night, with only occasional vehicles passing by.

After a brief clamor, silence descended once more, broken only by the silent flicker of neon lights.

Mùxīng walked aimlessly, her soul shattered. She was like an empty shell, devoid of all life and spirit.

Even the pain couldn't feel real to her…

The phone in her bag rang repeatedly, and she finally came back to her senses. She took out her phone, stared at the screen for a few seconds, and slid to answer it.

On the phone, a man's gentle voice came: "Finally answered the phone, baby. It's past twelve o'clock. Are you still not finished over there"

Mu Xing lightly took a breath, forcing herself to be calm, and said: "My phone was on silent, so I didn't notice. I'm not going back tonight. I'm sleeping with Qian Fei and Shen Qiong. I'll be back tomorrow."

"Baby, it's rare for you to go out and have fun. If I force you to come back home, then I, as your boyfriend, would be acting too unreasonable. Have fun, darling. I'll continue to keep this empty room company."

Good night.

As she was about to hang up her phone, a man's voice, soft and barely audible, suddenly said, "Baby, I miss you."

Tears fell without warning, landing with a "plop" on the phone screen. Mu Xing's finger trembled, frantically ending the call for fear that Xiao ShuShu would notice something amiss.

Putting her phone away, she wiped her tears and walked out of the city.

In the black Maybach not far away, Fu Lingxiao held the steering wheel with one hand and clutched his phone with the other, his brows furrowed tightly.

Deep, shadowed eyes watched the petite figure gradually fade into the distance, filled with worry and tenderness.

After returning to the manor from the Azure Dragon, he waited at the door until 10 pm. Mu Xing didn't come back or give him a call. He was really scared, afraid that she would quietly leave.

He had lost her too many times, he was really scared. He asked Yun Tuo to find her location and learned she was at the Mu family. He immediately rushed over.

I just arrived and saw her walking out of the Mu family with a man.

He was true to his word today, didn't send anyone to secretly follow Mu Xing, and didn't know what she had done at the Mu residence. But from her distraught appearance, it wasn't hard to guess.

He wanted to hug her, to let her know she still had him, but Mu Xing rejected his approach. She chose to hide, to choose to be alone and lick her wounds by herself.

His silly little star, she's always like this.

And he, when she didn't want him near, could do nothing but feel heartache...

Fu Lingxiao suppressed the bitterness in his heart, got out of the car and secretly followed Mu Xing.

Mu Xing walked from the city all the way to the foot of Qingyun Mountain. Her feet were worn raw by her high heels, bleeding profusely, but she was oblivious. Standing at the foot of the mountain, she looked up.

It was already dawn, with mist shrouding the mountains and clouds swirling around. The entire Qingyun Mountain seemed to be hidden in a secret realm, yet it was the first time she saw it so clearly.

"Master..."

Mu Xing whispered, tears welling up in her red-rimmed eyes, slowly sliding down into her temples, "I can't go back either..."

……

Back in the city, Mu Xing went to the hotel and checked into a room. After taking a shower and tending to her injured foot, she was just about to call her little uncle when he called her first.

"Are you awake, sweetheart"

A low voice, close to his ear, gradually became clear, "It's noon, can I come pick you up I miss you so much."

She thought that after a night of calming down, she could control her emotions well. Who knew that as soon as she heard her uncle's voice, the tip of her nose suddenly became sore.

Mu Xing held back her tears, told him the address, and softly said, "Little uncle, I miss you too. So much."

Fu Lingxiao followed Mu Xing back all the way, and now he is in the hotel parking lot, sitting in the car.

Hearing her say she missed him, his cold white fingers gripped the phone tightly, resisting the urge to rush upstairs immediately. He replied in a soft voice, "I'll be there in a moment."

After hanging up the phone, he took out cigarettes from his cigarette case and smoked three consecutively. He got out of the car and walked into the hotel.

It would take at least an hour to get here from the estate. Mu Xing thought that her little uncle wouldn't arrive so quickly, so she lay down on the bed and closed her eyes to rest. After a while, the doorbell suddenly rang.

She thought it was room service, so she went to open the door, and a tall figure suddenly came into view.

"Uncle"

Before Mu Xing could even react, the man scooped her up in his arms, kicked the bedroom door shut, and leaned down to kiss her soft lips with an urgent passion. He carried her towards the big bed.

The man's lips were thick with the scent of tobacco, Mu Xing wrinkled her nose in discomfort.

Fu Lingxiao saw her subtle expression and reluctantly pecked her moist cherry lips heavily before placing her on the bed. "I'll go take a shower first, be back soon."

Mu Xing's ruby lips were slightly parted, her breath still a bit ragged from their recent kiss. Her eyes were flushed and soft, gazing at him as she nodded, her expression both alluring and vulnerable.

Fu Lingxiao's eyes moved slightly, unbuttoning his shirt and quickly turning to stride into the bathroom.

When Mu Xing emerged from his bath, washing away the dust and smoke of the day, he remained in the same posture as before, lying on the bed, staring blankly out the window covered by a white gauze curtain.

Fu Lingxiao wrapped a towel around his waist and walked over to lie beside her. "What's on your mind, baby"

Mu Xing came back to her senses and looked up at the man, shaking her head. "It's nothing."

"What's up"

Fu Lingxiao gently clenched her chin in his large hand, "Baby, didn't you just say you missed me very much Let me see how much."

He gazed at her, a smile playing on his lips as he nodded, "Well, you certainly missed me. Missed me so much your eyes are red..."

Before he could finish his words, the little one suddenly burrowed into his arms.

Fu Lingxiao's expression froze, his hands instinctively tightening their grip around the person.

"Uncle..."

Mu Xing cried out to him in a low voice, as if seeking help. She desperately shrank into his sturdy embrace.

In her world reduced to rubble, he was her last source of warmth. Only in his arms did she feel safe from falling into the abyss.

The little one in my arms, with tear-rimmed eyes flushed red, was so fragile it felt like they would shatter if touched.

Fu Lingxiao lowered his eyes to look at her, pursed his thin lips, and finally didn't say anything. His broad palm gently stroked her thin spine, silently comforting her pain.

After a long time, a muffled voice finally came from her arms, with a slight nasal sound, "Uncle, how did you get here so quickly"

Fu Lingxiao said in a soft voice: "You weren't home last night, I couldn't sleep so I simply went to the company for overtime, it just so happens that this place is close to the company."

No wonder Uncle Xiao was still wearing yesterday's clothes.

There's still a bit of smoke.

Mu Xing gently pushed away from the man's embrace and looked up at him, "You secretly smoked again. You promised me you wouldn't smoke."

It seems like things are looking up for the little one. They're starting to feel better.

Fu Lingxiao's mood also improved accordingly. Looking at the little white rabbit with red eyes, his thin lips curled slightly, "There's no way, my girlfriend is not around, I can only smoke to relieve loneliness."

After finishing her sentence, she changed the subject abruptly, “I haven't settled the score with you yet, sweetheart. We agreed to end the gathering and go home, but you stayed out until the next day, ignoring me at home without even a phone call. And what about the injury on your foot”

Mu Xing bit her lip and said, "I've been shopping for too long and my high heels have rubbed my feet."

This statement isn't actually a lie.

Fu Lingxiao concealed his heartache and gently scraped her upturned nose. "You get hurt every time you go out, you're not allowed to play outside anymore."

"Oh."

Mu Xing obediently replied with a sound, looking at the man's haggard handsome face, and said again: "Little Uncle, you should sleep for a while, we'll go home when you wake up."

Fu Lingxiao clasped her head and pressed her lightly against his chest, "Baby, sleep with me."

The man's unique scent, as if possessing a soothing power, Mu Xing nestled in his warm embrace, enveloped by his breath, temporarily forgetting the pain and falling asleep soundly.

Fu Lingxiao was unable to fall asleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, the image of Mu Xing walking alone from the Imperial City to Qingyun Mountain and then back again, her feet bleeding profusely but she persisted in self-harm, flashed through his mind.

My heart aches, but it's more than just heartache. There's also fear.

He couldn't even begin to imagine what his foolish starchild would do after he was gone...
