The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart

"Let him go, let him go, let him go... Brother Qiao Muyun, Brother Qiao Muyun, please... let him go, I don’t want to see him anymore, I really don’t want to see him anymore..." Zi Ruoxi clung tightly to Qiao Muyun’s embrace, afraid that the "venomous snake" on the ground, like a devil, would crawl onto her. Her arms encircled Qiao Muyun’s waist, gripping his clothes tightly, her body shrinking, curling up and trembling...

"Zi Ruoxi, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. I’m here, I’m here, and no one will dare to hurt you again." Qiao Muyun patted her back, soothing her intense emotions.

He turned his gaze and looked at Qiao Junlie kneeling by the bedside. The bottle of mixed emotions was overturned. At that moment, he didn’t know exactly how he felt.

Does he admire his actions a little? Oh, perhaps, his proud brother, the brother who has always been the favored son of heaven, has never suffered such humiliation, no one dared to scorn him, let alone make him do this... to give up pride and dignity, to lower his head and submit. Perhaps, in this world, only Zi Ruoxi can make him do this...

"Qiao Junlie, you need to understand that some things cannot be mended, you should go! Don’t disturb her anymore." Qiao Muyun’s voice was indifferent, but it flickered when it met Qiao Junlie’s eyes.

Seeing the signal in Qiao Muyun’s eyes, he understood that no matter how much he begged, she wouldn’t listen now. But, but, just leaving like that... he was unwilling.

"Zi Ruoxi, rest well, your face will be able to undergo surgery soon, don’t worry too much. I’ll get the best experts to do the cosmetic surgery for you. I promise you’ll be as beautiful as you were before... Zi Ruoxi. We’ve finally fallen in love, and I won’t forget every moment we’ve had together, no matter what happens to you in the future, you’re my wife, Zi Ruoxi, believe me, please, you must believe me." As Qiao Junlie spoke, somehow his voice changed, for the first time losing composure in front of others... His deep blue eyes grew darker, shining brightly. Bearing the pain, he stood up.

Seeing the one he loves heartbroken and devastated, he had no place to comfort her. A strong sense of defeat swept over his heart. She just leaned on another man’s embrace seeking solace, and he knew, he shouldn’t be jealous of anything, nor did he have the right to do so anymore, no, he immediately dismissed this thought. She was his, no matter what she did, it wouldn’t change.

She must have been traumatized to become like this. Give it some time, after the surgery, she’ll be fine, she’ll still be his beautiful Fox Immortal, and she’ll return to his embrace... will she? She definitely will.

Sometimes denying, sometimes affirming. Indecisive thoughts lingered...

Qiao Junlie left. Left with some regret.

......

Every day passed like that. Repetition, repetition, and more repetition. The monotonous days left no hope. Even the brightest sun couldn’t warm a person’s heart. The heavily wounded heart was nearly shattered.

What is the meaning of living?!

This deceitful love had drained all her energy. She gave everything, but didn’t expect to suffer such a huge blow, this time was completely different from before, if last time her heart was the only thing broken, then this time, both her body and heart were destroyed.

"Zi Ruoxi, are you okay. Are you tired, do you want some milk?" Qiao Muyun asked gently. He moved a chair, sat beside her, quietly watching her face wrapped in bandages again. His emerald eyes were filled with concern.

During this time, he was always by her side. Almost 24-hour care, his attention to detail was impeccable. Sometimes, she felt he didn’t need to accompany her like this, feeling a bit guilty for taking up too much of his time. But, every time he just smiled, and insisted on staying. Although her mental state was alright, nothing unusual. But, he still wasn’t at ease. In her still smiling eyes, he always had an illusion... unclear what it was, but one thing was certain, she couldn’t afford any more problems...

"Brother Qiao Muyun, thank you, you’re always so considerate of me. I’m embarrassed." Zi Ruoxi said gently.

"Uh, why are you being so distant, if you keep this up, Brother Qiao Muyun might really get angry!" Qiao Muyun said, placing the milk bottle on the table by the bed, deliberately turning his handsome face aside, crossing his legs, pretending to be angry.

But, just his casual manner made Zi Ruoxi laugh.

"Brother Qiao Muyun, would you really get angry? I’m kind of looking forward to it! Hehehe..." Zi Ruoxi laughed. Her gentle expression seemed to have no hint of her previous melancholy.

Qiao Muyun also laughed. The room was filled with warmth and a sunshine-like glow.

After a while.

"Brother Qiao Muyun, I want to go out for a walk. I haven’t been out for a long time, I’m almost getting moldy." Zi Ruoxi said naturally. Her warm words showed no sign of anything unusual.

Qiao Muyun’s thoughts stirred. He didn’t expect her to suggest it herself. Her calm composure was beyond his expectations. He thought the blow she suffered would leave her unable to face anyone, yet in such a short time, she recovered her mindset so fast... is this a good thing or a bad thing...

"Alright. I’ll go with you." Qiao Muyun said with a smile.

"Okay." Zi Ruoxi replied. Just as she was about to get up, Qiao Muyun held her shoulder down, and she was stunned.

"Wait a moment." Qiao Muyun said, nodding at her. Then quickly walked out the door. Shortly after, he pushed in an automatic wheelchair.

Seeing this, Zi Ruoxi burst out laughing.

"Brother Qiao Muyun, my legs are perfectly fine, why did you bring this thing, don’t tell me, you really think I’m disabled?" Zi Ruoxi blurted out. Her tone was like a spring breeze at dawn, without seeing the person, just hearing the voice, there wasn’t a trace of someone who’s been severely traumatized!

"Hehe, your body is still weak, come on, anyway, sit and enjoy." As soon as Qiao Muyun finished speaking, he suddenly realized he misspoke, not knowing how she would feel hearing it. A bit worried.

But, this worry seemed excessive. If it were someone else they might be really upset, but, the in-sync Zi Ruoxi just rolled her eyes. Then smiled.

"Brother Qiao Muyun, why don’t you break my legs, then I can enjoy it." She teased with interest. Zi Ruoxi was in a good mood.

At this point, Qiao Muyun had already walked to her side. Gently lifted her duvet.
