Mr. Mu appears aloof in public, but secretly proposes marriage and kisses.

Lin Xing'er publicly accused Mu Tingshen of stealing her bracelet.

Mu Tingshen's face remained expressionless. He merely raised his eyes and coldly retorted, "What evidence do you have that I stole it?"

"Who else could it be but you? I overheard you on the phone when I went to the restroom. You're in debt, and you must have realized my bracelet was valuable to target me."

"What, in debt?"

"What happened?"

The elders are all people who value their reputation, especially Professor Su, who immediately questioned them with a stern face.

Su Mingli chuckled and said, "If it really is you, take it out and give it back to her. We're all relatives, and for Ranran's sake, I won't call the police."

This statement clearly confirms that Mu Tingshen is a thief.

Su Muran immediately retorted, "He couldn't possibly have stolen anything."

Su Mingli said angrily, "Ranran, don't be fooled by him. He's already in debt; what wouldn't he do?"

Mu Tingshen looked at Su Muran with a wronged expression: "Ranran, believe me, I can't possibly have any debts. Your brother and Miss Lin would tell any lie to frame me."

"Of course I believe you."

Su Muran spoke firmly, making her stance clear.

Su Mingli never expected that Su Muran would trust Mu Tingshen so much.

His face darkened with anger, and he looked coldly at Professor Su: "Dad, things have come to this. Either I search you, or I call the police. Which do you think is more appropriate?"

"They're all family, why call the police? Xiao Mu, check your pockets and prove your innocence."

Professor Su, of course, refused to call the police; if word got out, would the Su family lose face?

Therefore, he suggested that Mu Tingshen prove his innocence.

Su Muran said righteously, "Dad, the burden of proof lies with the accused. Since Miss Lin says Ting Shen stole her bracelet, let her produce the evidence. We will cooperate fully with the police when they arrive, but we will not prove our innocence for something we didn't do."

"Let's go."

After saying that, she took Mu Tingshen's hand and left.

"You're just going to let them go like that? Aren't you going to call the police?"

"My uncle said angrily."

Su Mingli chased after him with a sullen face.

"Ranran, go outside and wait for me. I need to talk to your brother for a bit."

Mu Tingshen patted Su Muran's hand reassuringly, telling her to go outside and wait for him.

How could Su Muran feel at ease letting the two of them talk alone? What if they brought up family scandals?

Su Mingli noticed her worry and surprisingly said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't say anything I shouldn't."

Su Muran had no choice but to leave, but before leaving she told Mu Tingshen: she would wait for him outside and call her if anything happened.

"What tricks did you use to make Ranran trust you so much?"

Su Mingli grabbed Mu Tingshen's collar in anger and questioned him through gritted teeth.

This was the first time Mu Tingshen had been grabbed by the collar.

However, there was no panic on her face. She calmly curled the corners of her lips and smiled, "Of course I can't tell you the method, but she must be very disappointed in you, right? She feels sorry for me for using such a clumsy method to frame me."

"So, you deliberately misled Lin Xing'er into accusing you of being a thief?"

His original plan was to have Lin Xing'er seduce Mu Tingshen.

Even if seduction fails, she can still smear Mu Tingshen, accusing him of taking advantage of her.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xing'er changed her plans at the last minute, transforming from a "hooligan" into a "thief".

He wondered to himself, when did Lin Xing'er become so smart?

It turned out that Mu Tingshen had deliberately led the conversation.

"I deliberately led her astray; I didn't expect her to be so stupid and fall for it so easily."

Mu Tingshen smiled and readily admitted it.

But soon, he moved closer to Su Mingli and whispered in his ear, "I was wronged and suffered injustice because of you, and Ranran will definitely make it up to me. Speaking of which, I should thank you for adding a little spice to our marriage."

Su Mingli's eyes were bloodshot with rage, and she punched Mu Tingshen hard in the face.

Mu Tingshen had noticed it the moment he threw the punch. He turned his head to dodge the heavy blow, but deliberately let the wind from the punch graz his mouth and bite his lip.

She then pushed him hard, separating the two.

Thanks.

Mu Tingshen snapped his fingers with a cold laugh and turned to leave.

As he walked, he raised his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth.

It hurts a bit, and there's blood on it.

I wonder how Su Muran will react when she sees this?

"Finished talking? What did you talk about?"

Su Muran had been waiting for him at the door, and as soon as she saw him come out, she went up to greet him and asked him questions.

Mu Tingshen deliberately turned his face away from her gaze and answered vaguely, "I just explained to him that I didn't steal his girlfriend's bracelet, and I didn't say anything else."

Turn your face around so I can see it.

Su Muran gave the order in a serious tone.

Mu Tingshen stopped dodging, but still kept his head down and stammered, "I'm really fine. You know your brother, he used to be a cultured man, how much strength could he have?"

Seeing that the soft approach wasn't working, Su Muran had no choice but to resort to a hard one.

She raised her hands to cup his face, making him face her.

"Did he hit you?"

Looking at Mu Tingshen's mangled lips, Su Muran asked with heartache.

Despite the hurt in his eyes, Mu Tingshen stubbornly insisted, "It's nothing. My face accidentally brushed against his fist. Don't worry, he's not hurt."

"I'm asking about you, not him. You wait, I'm going to find him."

Su Muran angrily let go of him and was about to go and settle accounts with Su Mingli.

Mu Tingshen quickly grabbed her arm and said, "Don't go. Don't let me cause discord between you and your siblings."

Just then, the car that was supposed to pick them up arrived.

Mu Tingshen insisted on pulling Su Muran into the car.

After returning home, Su Muran asked a delivery person to bring her a box of external wound medicine.

She pulled Mu Tingshen to sit on the sofa, and carefully applied ointment to the wound on the corner of his mouth with a cotton swab.

"Does it hurt? I'll be gentler."

Seeing that his eyebrows twitched slightly, Su Muran quickly softened her movements.

Mu Tingshen's Adam's apple bobbed, and he gently put his arm around her waist, saying in a low, husky voice, "It hurts, you have to make it up to me."

Su Muran's ears turned bright red instantly.

She knew it probably didn't hurt that much; his current reaction was mostly an act.

However, it is a fact that he was wronged and that he was beaten.

She pursed her lips, leaned in and kissed his cheek, saying, "Are you feeling better now?"

Mu Tingshen's eyes instantly lit up like the sun, and he said with a smile, "It's a little better, but not enough."

"You can apply it yourself! I'm going to my online class."

Su Muran blushed, threw the ointment at him, and walked away shyly.

We had originally planned to go to the hospital tonight, but after this happened, Professor Su called and told her to go tomorrow.

So Su Muran went to her online classes and did her homework.

Mu Tingshen held the ointment in his hand and rubbed it, savoring the kiss from just now, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

He secretly wondered if he should try harder tonight and coax her into agreeing to sleep in the same bedroom with him.

However, after Su Muran finished her online class, she suddenly received a phone call.

She rushed out of the room and said to Mu Tingshen, "My dad is also hospitalized, I have to go to the hospital right away."
