Chapter 764: Why Did You Take the Bullet For Me_1

Although Xiaoxiao is not the most savvy when it comes to interpersonal relationships, at least this time, she understood Mu Lingchuan’s intentions.

“Zimo, it’s late, are you hungry? I’ll go out and buy some porridge for you.”

Without waiting for Zimo’s response, Xiaoxiao got up, took her bag, and left.

Watching Xiaoxiao leave, Zimo instinctively wanted to stop her.

She didn’t want to be alone with Mu Lingchuan.

Honestly, although she’s not one to be easily afraid, whenever she talks to Mu Lingchuan, she always feels as if he can see right through her.

She doesn’t fear Mu Lingchuan.

It’s just that being alone with him always puts a lot of pressure on her.

People who practice martial arts hate this feeling the most.

When a person can put you under so much pressure, you’ve already lost the battle before it even begins.

After Xiaoxiao left, they both naturally fell into silence.

The hospital room was so quiet that one could almost hear the sound of the intravenous fluid dripping.

They both remained silent, and no one broke the stand-off.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Zimo broke the silence.

“Mr. Mu, do you have something to say?”

She thought he must be resenting her because of her injury, not wanting her to return to the crew.

Originally, Mu Lingchuan was not happy with her staying in the crew.

Now that she’s injured and won’t be able to do the stunt doubles, he must dislike her even more, right?

Mu Lingchuan glanced at her, ignoring her question and asked instead: “Do you know how stupid you are?”

Zimo was slightly taken aback, her graceful eyebrows furrowed.

“Do you know that he couldn’t have killed me?” Mu Lingchuan continued.

However, he did indeed let his guard down tonight, preoccupied with certain things and failed to detect the assassin’s presence.

He rarely ever let his guard down like this, he didn’t even know why.

But what he said was true.

At worst, he would have been injured.

The assassin wanting to kill him, was not so simple.

After being stunned for half a second, Zimo immediately became restless.

Yes, the assassin couldn’t possibly kill Mu Lingchuan.

He had already dodged out of the way.

After seeing Mu Lingchuan’s counterattack, the assassin was caught almost instantly.

At most, this sudden assassination could only injure him.

She fell silent and said nothing.

“Your skills are good, but if a situation like this arises in the future, don’t step in. Do you understand?”

Zimo remained silent without any response.

Her stubborn look told Mu Lingchuan that if something like this happened again, she would still take the same action.

Mu Lingchuan felt a bit stifled.

He didn’t know what to do with a girl who is so stubborn and unwilling to talk to him.

“Why did you take the bullet for me?” He suddenly asked.

Zimo glanced at him, then lowered her head and continued looking at her wounded arm.

“You…” Mu Lingchuan was frustrated.

He had never encountered a girl so obstinate.

Especially, in the face of someone as handsome as him.

A lot of women acted like bees to honey in his presence.

But in front of her, he was no different from a vase…

Damn it!

How could he, Mu Lingchuan, be compared to a vase?

“You’ve been injured, I don’t think you’re fit to continue acting as Feixue.”

“Mr. Mu.” Hearing Mu Lingchuan say this, Zimo finally reacted.

“Mr. Mu, this injury won’t affect me. We’ve already agreed.”

Although she knew he disliked her, she still needed to earn money.

Does she really expect Xiaxia to owe someone for the rest of her life?
