Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 314 One less won't make a difference

"Knock knock knock! Madam!"

It's Sheng Yu!
Su Ying was clearly the mistress of the house, but upon hearing Sheng Yu's voice, she felt guilty, like a thief.

Xiao Shen went to open the door.

"Fourth Master!" Sheng Yu's voice softened as she addressed him.

Such a handsome and talented man, let alone Qian Ke'er's elaborate schemes to obtain him, what woman could possibly resist him!

"what's up?"

"Oh! Madam's tonic soup is ready. It will be more effective if you drink it while it's hot!" Sheng Yu also smelled the strong aroma. "What a strange smell!"

Xiao Shen blocked her view with his body, "Leave it to me, you can go now!"

"Yes!"

The door closed, blocking Sheng Yu's view.

Su Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

"Would you like a drink?" Xiao Shen asked.

Su Ying shook her head.

"Then don't make things difficult for yourself!" Xiao Shen turned around and dumped everything into the trash can.

For some reason, at this moment, Su Ying actually felt that this man was cooler and more handsome than before.

"But what did you eat again?"

"Luosifen!"

"What is this thing? It smells so bad, how can anyone eat it?"

Su Ying rolled her eyes. "It smells awful, but tastes delicious. And that's the feeling it's all about. You... you guys who frequent high-end restaurants probably can't appreciate that!"

"That's not necessarily true!" he said, taking the chopsticks from Su Ying's hand and taking a small bite.

His expression wasn't as bad as I'd imagined; instead, a hint of unexpected surprise appeared on his face.

“It seems pretty good!”

Su Ying thought to herself, "It's not just good, it's an absolute craving-satisfying wonder!"

“Hey, Fourth Master, you…”

In the blink of an eye, the pot was empty, leaving Su Ying speechless.

How could a grown man steal someone else's food?

"It tastes alright, prepare more next time! Otherwise I'll tell Sheng Yu you're having a special meal with her!" Xiao Shen wiped his mouth with an air of elegance, but his words were so irritating.

Su Ying's lips twitched.

You ate my food and then threatened me, you heartless bastard.

……

Musa woke up, but she couldn't move much. There was no one around, and she couldn't reach the water she wanted to drink. She even broke a teacup.

Why didn't Ke'er arrange for someone to take care of you here?

Musa, seeing the person who had entered her line of sight, thought she was hallucinating because she had been unconscious for several days and was not fully conscious. "Young Master?"

Qian Xingjie poured water, supported her back as she stood up, and fed her water.

"I can do it myself!" Musa said shyly.

"Do whatever you want!" Qian Xingjie didn't insist. After a pause, he asked, "How are you feeling?"

"It's just a minor injury, I can be discharged today!" Musa said nonchalantly.

Qian Xingjie almost laughed, "You almost died on the operating table this time, and you call this a minor injury? You want to be discharged today? Even if you don't want to live, you shouldn't be wasting your life like this, right?" Mu Sha's tone was firm, "Miss Ke'er can't live without me. By the way, how is she?"

"Her? She's perfectly fine, not a single hair is missing!"

Musa breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good!"

As she spoke, she threw back the covers and got out of bed.

"What are you going for?"

"I'm all right!"

Qian Xingjie was furious. "Mu Sha, are you out of your mind? Is it really worth risking your life to protect others?"

"I don't know if it's worth it, but I do know that Miss Ke'er is my master, and protecting her is my lifelong responsibility!"

Qian Xingjie grabbed her wrist, preventing her from leaving. "What about yourself? Aren't you afraid of hurting those who care about you? Mu Sha, you have to live for yourself too. Your life shouldn't be just like this!"

Musa smiled bitterly, "I have no parents and am all alone. Young master, tell me, who will worry about me?"

"I……"

Musa suddenly looked up.

The two looked at each other silently.

"Now I order you to lie down and rest. You are not allowed to go looking for Ke'er again. She has so many bodyguards around her, she doesn't need you. And it's not like she can't live without you!"

Seeing that Qian Xingjie was very serious, Mu Sha had no choice but to listen to him.

For some reason, after hearing these words, she felt a deep warmth welling up inside her.

"I have other things to do. I've already arranged for someone to deliver your meal. Eat on time, and call me if anything happens!" Before leaving, Qian Xingjie repeatedly reminded him, "Remember, you're not allowed to go see Ke'er until your injuries are fully healed!"

"Master!"

Qian Xingjie paused, his back to the camera.

"Thank you
The ward door closed, and the room fell silent once more.

A satisfied smile appeared on Musa's lips. She closed her eyes, and the gloom she had felt earlier vanished.

Perhaps the young master is right; her life shouldn't be like this, and she should live for herself.

……

Seeing Su Ying emerge from the Xiao family's old residence, Ning Zhiyuan waved to her from afar. Xiao Ruonan stood beside him.

The three of them sat together in the coffee shop.

Ning Zhiyuan pushed the bird's nest gift box he had bought earlier towards Su Ying, saying, "This was bought by Miss Wu for you to use to nourish your body!"

Su Ying turned her gaze to Xiao Ruonan.

Honestly, ever since her identity was revealed, she has never introduced herself to Xiao Ruonan.

"Fifth Miss, are you really not angry that I lied to you before?"

Xiao Ruonan smiled and looked at Ning Zhiyuan. "I was angry with you, but that's all in the past. After A-Lie told me about your past, I suddenly felt relieved. It turns out that your journey has been so difficult. Besides, you've never lied to us. The only regret is that you took my fourth brother away. But I actually hoped he would marry you and I didn't want him to marry Qian Ke'er. Now that my dream has finally come true, I'm so happy!"

Having not seen the girl in front of her for a long time, Su Ying felt that she had changed a lot, becoming more mature and composed.

Su Ying was relieved that she didn't mind, and didn't want to cause her any more trouble. "Then what are you going to do? Are you really not going back to the Xiao family?" This time, Ning Zhiyuan looked at Xiao Ruonan. "I respect her opinion!"

Xiao Ruonan took a sip of coffee and said calmly, "If Grandpa doesn't accept A-Lie, then he doesn't accept me either. He's right. People have to learn to make choices. Since I chose A-Lie, I shouldn't cling to the wealth of the past. A-Lie and I are doing well now. We have our own house. Although we don't have much money, he tries his best to buy me whatever I like. I didn't know this before, but now I understand that when you're with someone you love, you become content and have no desires. In this respect, Fourth Brother is much more insightful than me!"

She looked at Su Ying and said, “Miss Su, oh no, I should call you Fourth Sister-in-law now. Don’t be fooled by my Fourth Brother’s seemingly heartless attitude. He is actually the most affectionate person. I’ve known for a long time that he likes you, but he’s just too proud to admit it first!”

Su Ying laughed and denied it, "No, no, no, you must be mistaken, Fourth Master he..."

"Madam, it's almost time for you to go back!" Sheng Yu urged her.

Xiao Ruonan glanced at her, indignant on Su Ying's behalf, "Who are you?"
