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

Su Mingli looked at the dark entrance and felt a chill run down her spine.

It was as if this wasn't an apartment, but a monster that was about to devour him.

"I suddenly remembered I have something to do, I'll come see him another day."

Su Mingli swallowed hard in fear and turned to leave.

But suddenly, two bodyguards appeared behind him, blocking his escape route and giving him no chance to leave.

"President Su, the chairman is already waiting for you inside. Let's not keep him waiting any longer."

President Meng's tone remained calm, but his words were filled with an undeniable pressure.

Su Mingli clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms.

Now that things have come to this, even if he's terrified, he has no way out.

I took a deep breath and stepped into the dark entrance.

The door clicked shut behind him, cutting off all the light from outside, and the pitch-black surroundings filled him with fear.

"Mu Tingshen, let me out."

Only then did Su Mingli realize that she had been deceived.

Mu Tingshen wasn't here at all; he tricked me into coming here just to lock me up.

Are you scared?

Mu Tingshen's icy voice came from outside the door: "You're a man, you'd feel fear too. How terrified Ranran must have been back then."

"I didn't mean to, I didn't want to treat her like that. It's all because of you. If you hadn't defiled Ranran and shown me those marks, how could I have locked her in the basement in such a fit of emotion?"

Su Mingli roared and pushed everything onto Mu Tingshen, her words full of sophistry to shirk responsibility.

Mu Tingshen's voice was like ice, filled with intense coldness: "You actually... saw those traces. What exactly did you do to Ranran?"

Even through the door, Su Mingli could feel Mu Tingshen's anger, and in the darkness, she couldn't help but tremble with fear.

However, he quickly calmed down.

She said maliciously, "As you think, of course what was supposed to happen happened, otherwise how would I have seen those traces? Mu Tingshen, didn't Ranran tell you? That's right, she doesn't love you at all, so why would she tell you something like this?"

"Su Mingli, I have never wanted to... kill anyone so much."

Mu Tingshen's voice carried an extreme amount of suppressed malice.

Su Mingli was so frightened that her teeth chattered, and she forced a scream: "You dare! This is a society ruled by law. Even if you kill me, you won't escape!"

"Mu Tingshen, Mu Tingshen?"

After Su Mingli finished screaming, he heard no response from Mu Tingshen, which made him even more terrified in the darkness.

But no matter how much he screamed, he received no response.

The surroundings were so quiet it was as if time had stood still, and he was the only person left in the whole world.

"Boss, it's not worth getting your hands dirty for this kind of scum."

From a distance, Zhou Shi looked at Mu Tingshen's face, which was full of hostility, and whispered a pang of heartache as she tried to comfort him.

Zhou Shi had been by Mu Tingshen's side for so many years, so he naturally understood him.

Mu Ting is a clean freak; whether in matters of the heart or in other aspects, he will not allow anyone to touch anything that belongs to him.

Otherwise, I'd rather throw it away or destroy it than keep it.

Su Muran was Mu Tingshen's rare obsession over the years, but he never expected that she had gone through such a thing.

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Mu Tingshen.

Zhou Shi was very worried that Mu Tingshen might do something he shouldn't have done in a moment of impulse.

"Don't worry."

Mu Tingshen's tone was low and somber.

The raging anger surging in his chest almost burned him up. Just thinking about what that beast Su Mingli had done to Su Muran made him want to rush in and tear him to pieces.

With trembling fingers, he took out the cigarette case, shook it for a long time, and finally managed to pull out a cigarette and light it. He took a deep drag, barely suppressing the overwhelming hatred in his heart.

He doesn't smoke, but he might occasionally take a few puffs for social occasions.

This time, however, he burned the entire cigarette before composing himself and getting into the car.

"Go to the hospital."

At this moment in the hospital, Su Muran was by his wife's bedside, helping her straighten her clothes.

Mrs. Su was still under preoperative observation, but she was in good spirits, holding Su Muran's hand and talking to her.

"Ranran, Ting Shen is a really good guy. I've always felt guilty for letting you get married in such a rush. Luckily, you didn't make a mistake."

Su Muran smiled and said, "I was raised by my mother, so naturally I have the same discerning eye as her and won't make a mistake in judging people."

Just then, the ward door was pushed open, and Mu Tingshen walked in carrying a small cake.

"I asked Professor Wang, and he said that eating a little bit of dessert won't affect the surgery, but you can only eat a little."

His tone was natural and his expression gentle, showing no sign that he had just finished dealing with Su Mingli's matter.

Su Muran looked at him, her heart warmed, and she took the cake from him.

This cherry mango flavored mini cake is loved not only by Mom, but also by her.

Mrs. Su watched the interaction between the two, and her smile deepened.

While the two of them were out talking alone, Mrs. Su couldn't help but say to Su Yunge, "Yunge, I'm not pressuring you, don't feel pressured. I just want to ask you, do you have someone you like? Do you want to be in a relationship?"

Su Yunge: "..."

"Mom, just focus on the surgery! Don't worry about things that aren't going to happen, it'll only cause you stress and worry."

"You're too aloof, child. But I'm not saying it's bad. Everyone has their own personality. I just hope that you, a little girl, will smile more and be happy more often, so that everyone will like you."

"I don't need it."

Su Yunge retorted in a low voice.

However, she immediately cut a small cake and presented it to Mrs. Su, telling her to shut up.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Su was wheeled into the operating room, accompanied by Professor Su, Su Muran, and Su Yunge.

The surgery went smoothly, and Mrs. Su was taken to the observation room afterward.

If everything is normal, you can be transferred to a regular ward.

Professor Su's anxiety finally subsided.

Seeing Su Muran and Mu Tingshen busy taking care of everything, she became increasingly satisfied with this son-in-law, and her gaze towards Mu Tingshen softened considerably.

After completing the surgery, Professor Wang rested briefly before setting off to return to Beijing.

Mu Tingshen naturally wanted to see him off in person.

Su Muran volunteered, "I'll come along too!"

The two of them went together to pick her up, and now that the surgery is over, she naturally can't let Professor Wang think she's someone who's ungrateful.

"Okay, let's go together."

Mu Tingshen nodded and naturally took her hand.

Su Muran was a little shy, but thinking that her mother's successful surgery was thanks to Mu Tingshen's help, she didn't struggle and obediently let him hold her hand.

Professor Wang was also very pleased that Su Muran was able to see him off.

"I really like the tea set and tea you gave me. I don't usually accept gifts from just anyone, but yours is so kind that I'll take it even if it's a bit cheeky. But don't worry, I won't accept it for nothing. I'll share half of the tea I saved for Ting Shen with you. If that kid ever dares to bully you in the future, I'll definitely help you scold him."
