While Ming Chu Yan was speaking with Ming Huai Zhi, he saw a wobbly figure laboriously stepping into the Ming family's gate, startling the servants. Ming Chu Yan didn't have time to say much more to Ming Huai Zhi. He put down the receiver and strode towards the Ming family's main entrance. Ming Zhi Rou, covered in blood, entered unsteadily, staggering. Upon seeing Ming Chu Yan, she slowly extended a hand towards him, as if she had seen a lifesaver, weakly calling out, "Sixth Brother…" before fainting. Ming Chu Yan rushed forward, catching Ming Zhi Rou steadily and holding her in his arms. The Ming family descended into chaos. Ming Huai Zhi listened to the commotion on the phone. The hatred in his heart towards Ming Zheng surged even more fiercely. Everything was because of Ming Zheng! Why didn't she just die? Why did she come back!
Ming Zhi Rou was severely injured and had lost a lot of blood, remaining in a coma. Ming Huai Zhi could not discuss the song "Qing" with Ming Zhi Rou under these circumstances. He could only let the matter continue to ferment online. Ming Huai Zhi's lack of response was tantamount to an admission in the eyes of the vast majority of netizens! Instantly, countless fans unfollowed and bashed her. The overwhelmed agency had no choice but to issue a statement – declaring that Ming Huai Zhi absolutely could not have plagiarized, and that he would personally provide a reasonable explanation once he emerged from his closed-door filming. The bankruptcy of the Song family and the plagiarism scandal involving Ming Huai Zhi had thrown the entire Xia Capital into turmoil. However, Ming Zheng remained safe and sound, living peacefully.
For the next period, Ming Zheng wanted to spend quality time with her fifth senior brother. However, Chi Xian also stayed by her side every day, eating and drinking with them. Basically, wherever she went, Chi Xian followed. Chi Xian likely knew that Ming Zheng had no defense against his looks. Whenever Ming Zheng put on a cold face, he would adopt the demeanor of a forlorn puppy, lowering his head to coax Ming Zheng into softening her heart. In response, Ming Zheng said, "...You, the esteemed head of the Chi family, are this idle? Don't you have anything to do?" Chi Xian's long, dark lashes curved downwards. His devastatingly handsome face, under the brilliant, warm-colored stained glass lamps indoors, seemed to shimmer with specks of light. As his deep, ink-like eyes looked at her, they sparkled like blooming fireworks. "My business is accompanying you." Those eyes were tender and soft. Reflecting in his pupils was only her face. Ming Zheng: "..." She got goosebumps from the sweetness. She rubbed her arms, shifted her position, and moved a distance away from Chi Xian. "I have my fifth senior brother to accompany me; I don't really need you." Chi Xian's ink eyes curved, filled with shimmering light. "It's okay. It's also my first time meeting Fifth Brother, and I want to accompany you in accompanying Fifth Brother more." Ming Zheng: "...Who is your Fifth Brother? Don't call him that!" The man, however, smiled incredibly softly, and even his deep voice was low and captivating. "Your Fifth Brother is my Fifth Brother." Ming Zheng: "..." She was truly helpless against this man. She couldn't hit him, and she couldn't bring herself to scold him. She could only tolerate it.
During these past few days, Mo Qing Chuan had been observing the interactions between these two. He could also see... that the head of the Chi family was serious about his junior sister. However... junior sister was destined to bear a heavy responsibility. She was destined not to be of the same world as him. Mo Qing Chuan's deep, elegant eyes flickered, filled with contemplation. After a long while, he narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up, and slowly walked towards the kitchen. "A Zheng, come help me cut some fruit." Ming Zheng threw the cushion aside and stood up, about to go over. Her wrist was then held by the man's slender, jade-like fingers. Those distinctly jointed fingers curved into delicate arcs, complementing the girl's tender, fair skin, making them exceptionally eye-catching. "I'll go." The man pulled her back down, stood up, and walked towards the kitchen. "Fifth Brother, this small task, just command me." He moved with practiced ease, took out several fruits from the refrigerator, and went to the sink to wash them. Mo Qing Chuan watched him wash the fruit, raising an eyebrow. "You should know that I just don't want you two to get too close." "I know." Chi Xian placed the washed fruits on a plate. His incredibly beautiful and refined face lacked the soft demeanor he displayed in front of Ming Zheng. Instead, it held a trace of cool nobility. "Fifth Brother does not approve of my pursuit of Zheng Bao." Their conversation was direct and without any detours. The atmosphere in the kitchen was somewhat heavy and stagnant. However, both of them deliberately kept their voices very low, trying their best not to let the girl they both cared about hear their conversation. "You are not suitable." Mo Qing Chuan's fingertip gently rubbed the blue ring on his thumb, his voice calm and even. "But, you are very special to A Zheng." Chi Xian's movements paused slightly. He took a clean towel to wipe his hands and turned to look at Mo Qing Chuan. "Whether we are suitable is not for Fifth Brother to decide." His thin, reddish lips curved slightly. "Thank you for your recognition, Fifth Brother. I also feel that I am very special to Zheng Bao." "Your specialness is merely because your face happens to be the type that A Zheng likes." Mo Qing Chuan's gaze fell on Chi Xian's face. To be honest, this man's features were indeed gifted by heaven, exquisitely beautiful to the extreme. Even the Mo family, known for producing beautiful individuals, did not have a man who could rival Chi Xian's appearance. "I am very thankful for my face." Chi Xian touched his face. "I am also confident that I can make Zheng Bao go from liking my face to liking me as a person." The man's expression was calm, neither humble nor arrogant. Even standing before his fifth senior brother, who was acting as the head of the Mo family, he did not lose any of his imposing presence. The head of a mysterious hidden family. He did indeed possess some of the spirit to rival the Mo family. But... Mo Qing Chuan's eyes deepened. Just as he was about to speak, Chi Xian seemed to have guessed what he was going to say. He wore a smile, but his cool, dark eyes were filled with unwavering determination. "Since I have decided to pursue Zheng Bao, I have already made plans for the future. I know Zheng Bao is not a girl who can be confined to a home, but a phoenix soaring in the heavens." "Whether it is you, or any secrets behind Zheng Bao, I am confident I can bear them." "Just as I am the head of the Chi family, I have absolute confidence in eliminating any factors that might affect Zheng Bao." The man's words were resolute and unwavering, completely stifling Mo Qing Chuan's response. Conversations between intelligent people are always straightforward. Mo Qing Chuan was silent for a moment, his indifferent gaze calm. "Even so, I still cannot agree." He turned, his tall, bamboo-like figure moving towards the kitchen door. His hand landed on the doorknob. "But..." As soon as the word left his lips, suddenly, the sound of knives clattering to the floor was heard from behind him. Accompanied by a low, suppressed groan from the man. Mo Qing Chuan: "..." Damn it!
