Beware the Appearing Cute Wife!

Chapter 1368: Chapter 1521: If That’s the Case, It Won’t Hurt Anymore

Tao Zhixiang was a bit stunned facing the roses sent by He Muyang.

This, is really meant for her! But these are roses, not any other flowers!

Tao Zhixiang hesitated, refusing to take them.

He Muyang smiled and said, "I’m just a big guy holding these roses; how does that look? I bought them just because I felt sorry for the little girl, no other reason! After all, you girls all like flowers, so it’s more appropriate for you to accept them."

But Tao Zhixiang still didn’t accept.

He Muyang sighed.

"Silly, no other meaning, not the kind meant to be bought especially for a lover! So don’t mind! Just take it as a good deed! If you don’t accept it, you’re not treating me as a friend!"

With He Muyang saying so much, Tao Zhixiang felt she would be acting coy if she continued to refuse.

"Alright then!"

Tao Zhixiang accepted the roses, but still felt a little uneasy.

He Muyang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Alright then, get home early and rest up, you still have work tomorrow!"

"Okay, well then, see you, senior! Be safe on your way back."

"See you!"

He Muyang waved to her and then turned to leave.

After He Muyang left, Tao Zhixiang arrived home, and it was already past nine.

Actually, when she reached the door, Tao Zhixiang felt a bit anxious because she wasn’t sure whether, when she opened the door, Chu Mucheng... would appear in the living room like before, sitting on the sofa.

She was still thinking, if Chu Mucheng were there and saw these roses, what would he think? Would he be angry? So how should she explain it to him?

Thinking of this, Tao Zhixiang hesitated for a moment, yet she placed the roses on the hallway’s windowsill.

Though she also liked roses, to avoid unnecessary trouble, she still couldn’t bring them home!

It was only when she made up her mind and carefully opened the door that she realized, there was no sign of anyone on the sofa!

Chu Mucheng hadn’t come.

The dishes in the kitchen had already gone cold.

Tao Zhixiang tidied up the kitchen, making it clean again.

But with Chu Mucheng not having come, she also... didn’t feel like eating.

Her hand had been medicated, but it still hurt a bit. Tao Zhixiang sat on the sofa watching TV, though her mind was blank and she paid no attention to what was playing on the screen.

Time passed bit by bit, the pain in her hand gradually lessened, but the sense of loss in her heart gradually thickened, eating away at her heart bit by bit.

Looking at the time, it was already... midnight!

Haha... Valentine’s Day is over.

Tao Zhixiang glanced at the dishes on the dining room table, the hint of loss and the touch of bitterness in her heart... truly indescribable.

With a deep breath, Tao Zhixiang got up and put all the dishes into the fridge, then closed the fridge door.

Lying in bed, Tao Zhixiang found she couldn’t fall asleep, her eyes sore and swollen, as if something was slowly flowing, uncontrollably breaking through her tightly closed eyelids, and powerfully came down.

After all, she shouldn’t nurture extravagant hope.

She should guard her own heart, not cross the line! If she did that, she wouldn’t hurt anymore.
