70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 287 - 6: Honesty (Part 1)

"I’ll go make you something to eat. What do you want?" Xu Mumu asked gently.

"As long as it’s made by you, I like it," Yin Yang looked at Xu Mumu.

"Sir Cao, take Mumu to the kitchen," Yin Yang said, looking at Mr. Cao.

"Yes, Family Head." Mr. Cao said respectfully, then took Xu Mumu out of the room.

The kitchen was quite far away, and Xu Mumu noticed there were quite a few people in the courtyard, almost all of whom seemed to be trained fighters. With Yin Yang injured, these people were even more vigilant.

"Yang, what’s going on?" Zhou Yunhong asked with concern, looking at Yin Yang. Yin Yang intentionally sent Xu Mumu away, definitely to instruct him to do something.

"Yin Xu ran away. I suspect Yun Ji is behind it. Go check it out, and don’t tell Mumu about this," Yin Yang said, coughing. It was uncomfortable, and he hadn’t fully escaped danger. Previously, there wasn’t a suitable person around, but Zhou Yunhong’s presence was timely.

"Alright, I’ll go right away," Zhou Yunhong nodded seriously.

"Yin Xu is in Lan City. If you get the chance, capture him directly and ensure your own safety," Yin Yang said, glancing out the window.

"Don’t worry, Yang. I’m on it now," Zhou Yunhong nodded.

After Zhou Yunhong left, Yin Yang slowly closed his eyes. After all that talking, he felt a bit exhausted. If it wasn’t for his instinct sensing danger and shifting slightly, that stab would have been fatal. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

He was still careless, but since he survived, he wouldn’t let any of those people off, especially those from the Yun Family, who have become increasingly arrogant in recent years, even wanting to annex the Yin Family.

Yin Yang really wanted to fall asleep now, but with the anticipation of eating what Xu Mumu made, he mustered the energy to wait for her.

Soon, Xu Mumu brought up a dish, with a bowl of porridge inside. The porridge smelled good.

"I just casually made some porridge. It’s not hot anymore. I asked Mr. Cao, and he said you can only eat light food now," Xu Mumu said, looking at Yin Yang’s pale face, feeling a bit heartbroken.

"If it’s made by Mumu, I like eating it." Even though he didn’t feel well, his words were still sweet.

Xu Mumu pursed her lips, not saying much, and began feeding Yin Yang the porridge.

After Yin Yang finished eating, he fell asleep. Xu Mumu sat by his bedside, watching over him. When it was time to change his bandages, Mr. Cao brought the supplies over, and Xu Mumu took over the task.

Carefully cutting the gauze, she looked at the long wound on Yin Yang’s waist, almost pierced through. That must be incredibly painful.

Xu Mumu carefully cleaned his wound, applied new medicine, and bandaged it up again.

In her past life, she frequently bandaged herself, so she was quite familiar with this task.

Mr. Cao stood at the door, silently watching this scene, nodding to himself, acknowledging Xu Mumu’s current role.

"How did you wake up? Did I hurt you?" Xu Mumu asked after finishing bandaging Yin Yang, noticing he was watching her.

"No, it doesn’t hurt." Yin Yang shook his head with a smile. It did hurt, but he endured it. He didn’t want to appear weak or worry Xu Mumu.

"Have you felt a bit better after taking the medicine?" Xu Mumu supported Yin Yang, letting him lean against the bed.

"I feel better, don’t worry. I’m much better now." Yin Yang chuckled lightly. Xu Mumu’s arrival was unexpected for him, but seeing her made him quite happy.

"How can you expect me not to worry? Do you remember the promise you made when you left?" Xu Mumu glared at Yin Yang. After he fell asleep, she had the doctor check him again. Once confirming his condition was stable, she felt slightly relieved.

"I’m sorry, Mumu. I promise not to make you worry again," Yin Yang lowered his head, feeling wronged after being scolded.

"Hmph, tell me clearly, what exactly happened?" Xu Mumu asked Yin Yang, looking at him sternly.

"It was just a little accident," Yin Yang said softly, playing with Xu Mumu’s hair.

"Yin Yang," Xu Mumu’s temper flared a bit seeing his attitude, "I don’t want you to keep things from me."

"You’re keeping things from me too," Yin Yang looked at Xu Mumu, negotiating with her.

"Okay, if you want to know, I can tell you right now, but you must tell me about your situation," Xu Mumu said seriously after a two-second pause, looking at Yin Yang.

"Mumu?" Yin Yang was a bit surprised. Hasn’t Xu Mumu always kept her own secrets tightly? Why would she suddenly want to tell?

Of course, Xu Mumu didn’t want to reveal her secrets either. She was worried and even a bit scared. However, the time spent together had made Yin Yang important to her, not just some dispensable boyfriend anymore.

"This is your only chance. If you don’t tell me, I’ll never tell you anything for the rest of my life," Xu Mumu said calmly, looking at Yin Yang. Her heart settled. After all, even if she spoke about it, no one would believe her, and she also had enough martial skill to protect herself.

"Mumu, don’t be this way. I’m scared," Yin Yang clutched Xu Mumu’s hand tightly, fearing that if he didn’t satisfy her, he might lose her forever.

"I’m serious, Yin Yang. If we’re going to be together, we’ll have to face these things sooner or later. I’m not some canary. I know you’re worried about my safety," Xu Mumu said, curling her lips.

This mutual deception wasn’t a good feeling. Yin Yang had hidden so much from her that she felt unsettled, like an outsider.

If she hadn’t rushed to Lan City this time, Yin Yang would have healed and returned without letting her notice anything unusual.

"Alright, I’ll tell you, just don’t be mad at me," Yin Yang said soothingly, coaxing Xu Mumu. With Xu Mumu pressing him, how could he not spill the beans? He also wanted to know Xu Mumu’s secrets.

"Okay, I want the truth," Xu Mumu nodded.

"Recently, that guy Yin Xu was rescued by Yun Ji. He came to Lan City and made a fuss to lure me over, and then I realized someone close to me betrayed me," Yin Yang sighed.

"The day before yesterday, Yun Ji arranged to meet me at a teahouse. He threatened me using my grandfather, so I went with my men. I had planned to deal with Yun Ji anyway, but I didn’t expect Yin Xu to be with him."

"You’re such an idiot, just going because they asked you to?" Xu Mumu scolded, poking Yin Yang’s forehead. Isn’t this guy supposed to be clever? At least at Professor Song’s side, she was also keeping an eye. There wouldn’t be any problem, and that’s the Imperial City, the political center of the country. The Yun Family wouldn’t dare act recklessly.

"Yes, I was too stupid," Yin Yang nodded with a smile, "The Yin Family has a mine here in Lan City. Yin Xu wanted to take over the mine, but lacking manpower, he collaborated with Yun Ji. I noticed something was wrong and left immediately, but still got stabbed by someone close."
