Chapter 213: Sorry?!
Without hearing Ning Xiaofei’s response, Mu Tianye raised an eyebrow quizzically.
"Hmm?"
“Of course … it looks good, my husband looks good in everything.” Ning Xiaofei smiled and came over, “But … it looks kind of loose, otherwise … I’ll return and exchange it with another one?”
This is Xicheng’s coat. If he were to know the truth, wouldn’t he kill her?
She stretched her fingers, trying to take off the trench coat from Mu Tianye.
“No need.” Mu Tianye reached out and caught her palm. “It fits me quite well.”
He never cared about his outfits, but this is a rare show of her interest.
“But……”
Ning Xiaofei raised her eyes, and saw the gentle smile on the man’s handsome face.
"I love it."
She suddenly felt guilty.
Her skittishness made Mu Tianye frown slightly. He reached up for her little face.
Since she went to dinner with friends, she should have had a good time. What went wrong?
“What happened?”
She must buy a similar one and return it to Xicheng, or else she won't be able to bluff her way out. But in the face of the man’s concern, Ning Xiaofei only felt guilt and regret.
He trusted her so much, but she only knew how to lie.
“I …” Ning Xiaofei bit her lip, “Husband, I … I’ll tell you something, don't be angry, okay?”
The girl's pleading painted across her face softened his heart.
Pulling her over to sit on the sofa, Mu Tianye raised his hands and brushed her hair behind.
“Say.”
"Won't you really get angry?"
Her eyes jumped uneasily.
“Not angry.”
"Promise?"
"Promise."
“You won't hit me?”
Mu Tianye scowled. “Are you going to say it?”
He's already dying with curiosity, but this dead girl was still keeping him on tenterhooks.
Ning Xiaofei's face paled.
Noting his own coldness, Mu Tianye took a deep breath and adjusted his tone.
“I promise, I won't hit you, won't get angry, say it now, satisfied?”
“I … the friend I went to have dinner tonight … is …” Ning Xiaofei swallowed, “Xicheng.”
Seeing the man frown, she immediately jumped off the sofa and retreated.
“I didn’t mean to lie to you. I just didn’t want you to be upset. I … I'm telling you now because I want to do it right, that is … it was about the file leak, I wanted to explain to him. You said that you won't get angry. Men should keep their word … “
Looking at her like a frightened bunny, talking incoherently while her face turned ashen, Mu Tianye’s eyebrows tightened.
"Come here."
“I don't want to!” Ning Xiaofei turned and fled to the sofa, grabbed a cushion and hugged her chest protectively, “You … you said you wouldn’t hit me!”
Mu Tianye strode towards her. Ning Xiaofei was so frightened, she retreated in a panic. Before she could put on her slippers, her left heel stumbled on the corner of the carpet, she fell out of balance and floundered to the ground.
Seeing Mu Tianye, who had come to the front, she knew that there was no way to escape. She lifted the cushion to cover her face and shrank back.
The girl shrank in the corner of the living room, and she also lost the slipper on her feet. He could not see her expression, but the trembling fingers holding the cushion betrayed her horror.
Sure enough, he really scared her last time.
The man sighed softly and crouched slowly in front of her.
“Last time … I'm sorry.”
Sorry … sorry?
Ning Xiaofei slowly lowered the cushion hiding her shock, and saw the man crouching in front of her with a frown, but without the anger she had imagined in his face, only eyes so deep.
