Chapter 36 – Autistic Young Master VS Ruthless Boss (11)
But why were his photos exposed by the media? Who on earth is trying to ruin him?
Thinking about this, Xie Boyan clenched his fists, filled with anger and hatred, vowing to make the person who harmed him pay the price.
On the other hand, at this moment, the culprit Mu Jin, was leisurely sitting in front of the computer. While eating the snacks prepared by his beloved, he casually looked at the plethora of gossip news about the male lead on the internet.
He knew that given Xie Boyan’s personality, the other party would never give up easily. The male lead’s grudge-holding nature would surely make him explode on the spot. However, even so, finding the mastermind behind him would be nothing short of a fantasy.
This time, he only gave Xie Boyan a small punishment and a significant warning. If he dared to make any sinister moves against Mu Yaqin again or target the Mu family, he naturally had ways to deal with him.
Thinking about this, Mu Jin revealed his signature smile. He picked up a small cake from the table, sniffed it, and then took a satisfying bite.
The cake was fragrant and sweet, tasting really good. Surprisingly, the flavor resembled the milk cake from his previous life.
Considering that Leng Xiao in this life didn’t seem to like sweets, except for these small cakes, he seemed to have a special fondness for them, especially those made by his beloved.
This made Mu Jin somewhat suspicious. Perhaps even in the new world, without the original memories, things that held special meaning for him would still subtly influence his beloved.
Just like the small cake in his hand. And like how, upon seeing him, Leng Xiao would instinctively take care of him and treat him well.
Mu Jin’s smile, warmed by his beloved’s subconscious affection, revealed sweetness. When Leng Xiao entered the room, he saw this scene. Wondering what the little guy had thought of, he smiled so beautifully.
He walked over, sat beside Mu Jin, and naturally hugged him.
Taking away the small cake that the little guy had bitten halfway, Leng Xiao put it in his mouth and nodded in satisfaction. He felt that indeed, the cake tasted better when bitten by Xiao Jin.
Seeing the accusation in his partner’s eyes, Leng Xiao couldn’t help but hook his lips, saying, “It’s almost time for dinner. Eating too many snacks will ruin your appetite. Today, we have your favorite braised pork ribs.”
Hearing this, Mu Jin opened his mouth, eyes wavering between the remaining small cake on the table and Leng Xiao. In the end, he gritted his teeth and nodded.
After all, as delicious as the cake was, the braised pork ribs made by his own Old Gong were even better.
Seeing Mu Jin obediently complying, Leng Xiao finally felt satisfied. But when his gaze shifted to the computer screen, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
The screen displayed negative news about Xie Boyan, showing scenes of him entangled with multiple men and women. Even with mosaic, the images still polluted his beloved’s eyes.
Immediately, he covered Mu Jin’s eyes and closed the webpage. With an unfriendly expression, he said, “Xiao Jin, you’re not allowed to read such reports in the future.”
Hearing this, Mu Jin pulled down Leng Xiao’s big hand covering his eyes, blinked innocently, then, right in front of him, brought up the recent photos of Xie Boyan and pointed at the male lead, saying, “Bad person.”
Leng Xiao paused upon hearing Mu Jin’s words, recalling that this guy named Xie Boyan seemed to have pursued Mu Yaqin madly, even following her home and sending flowers a few times.
However, Mu Yaqin had consistently rejected his flowers and gifts, displaying a firm attitude. It might be that Xiao Jin also caught a glimpse of this person at the door, so he had some impression.
At that time, Xie Boyan saw himself in Mu’s home, seemingly showing hostility towards him. But Mu Yaqin explained that he was her younger brother’s bodyguard, and that person left.
At that time, he felt that although this man looked decent, his behavior was too frivolous. Especially with his feeble and weak footsteps, he appeared to be someone who indulged excessively in pleasures, clearly not a reliable partner.
Fortunately, Mu Yaqin had some discernment and had always rejected this man. Otherwise, if that woman found such an unreliable guy, Xiao Jin, who was so kind and considerate, would definitely worry about and feel sad for her sister.
Now, not long after, this guy had rumors flying around him everywhere. So, it seemed that their little guy indeed had an eye for people. Even without him saying anything, Xiao Jin could see that this man was bad.
Being handsome didn’t matter. Being like himself, steadfastly loving only Xiao Jin, was the true person who could bring him happiness.
Thinking about this, Leng Xiao’s gaze softened. He leaned over, hugged Mu Jin in his arms, touched foreheads, gently kissed the corner of his lips, and then got up to prepare lunch for Mu Jin.
Looking at his beloved’s robust body wrapped in a black shirt, Mu Jin couldn’t help but swallow saliva, suddenly feeling that the setting of his life in this life was a bit enticing.
Because in his lover’s eyes, he was seen as a pure and introverted little darling, Leng Xiao had continued to treat him like a precious gem, as if he were a fragile doll, even after such a long time. Despite numerous kisses, he dared not go for a deep kiss, let alone truly touch himself.
You should know that he loved the other so deeply, genuinely anticipating being completely together with his partner.
On this side, Mu Jin secretly complained, while the consciousness in his sea of knowledge, 003, couldn’t help but sneer in his mind: Xiao Jin is really good at finding excuses for himself, saying he wants to be together because of deep love, but it’s obviously just an excuse to be tempted by someone else’s body, bah!
“Xiao Hei, what did you say?” Mu Jin’s exceptionally gentle voice came, and 003 suddenly realized he had muttered out loud, instantly causing the whole cat to bristle.
Seeing the sudden transformation of the fluffy 003, Mu Jin burst into laughter, then casually said, “Okay, you’re right. But does that conflict with my love for him?”
At the words, 003 nodded in apparent understanding, secretly relieved to have escaped unscathed.
On the other side, Leng Xiao, who was in the kitchen preparing soup, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. His hand trembled, almost knocking over the pot. The pain was so obvious that even if he wanted to ignore it, it was impossible.
Mu Jin heard the commotion from the kitchen, ran over, and saw the man had already placed the food on the table, smiling and welcoming him.
Everything seemed normal, although he felt something was off. But after looking for a while and finding no abnormalities in his lover, Mu Jin could only temporarily suppress his doubts.
At the dining table, Leng Xiao continued to be attentive, serving Mu Jin with care.
However, beneath the surface, turmoil swirled in the man’s heart. Because of the sudden headache, he thought about the medical examination in the corps many years ago, where the doctor did mention finding something abnormal during the brain domain examination, suggesting a possibility of tissue degeneration.
He didn’t remember all the professional terms, and at the time, he didn’t think it was a severe issue. With so many years passing without any problems, Leng Xiao never took the doctor’s words seriously.
After all, back then, the doctor said there was only a chance of degeneration, and it might not actually happen. Besides, even if it did, the doctor couldn’t determine the specific impact.
However, this sudden pain dealt him a significant blow. Leng Xiao suddenly felt that perhaps he should take the time to get a thorough examination. After all, he was no longer alone; he now had a beloved to protect, so he had to be prepared.
Sensing Leng Xiao’s emotions, Mu Jin looked worriedly at the man beside him.
Seeing this, Leng Xiao gently patted Mu Jin’s forehead, still behaving perfectly, not revealing any flaws.
Later, taking the opportunity to return to the Leng family, even without the identity of the Silver Wolf Mercenary Corps commander, he still had plenty of money and resources to use. Finding a top expert to examine his physical condition was effortless.
The examination results were not optimistic, just as Leng Xiao had expected. There was indeed degeneration in his brain. Moreover, it seemed to have started a long time ago; he just hadn’t paid attention until the situation deteriorated.
However, the current condition was slightly better than what he had anticipated. Although the medical science in this world wasn’t highly advanced, it wasn’t too backward either.
Given the current medical level, it was indeed challenging to cure, but the degeneration’s spread could be restrained through medication. However, even so, the development of the condition would still have a certain impact on Leng Xiao’s state, emotions, and even unknown areas.
The expert told Leng Xiao that as long as he actively cooperated with the treatment, he could live for at least another ten years—this was the best estimate the expert could provide.
But just ten years were not enough for Leng Xiao.
His precious one was still so young; even after ten years, Mu Jin would only be twenty-nine years old. Did he really have to let go and leave this world when his beloved was at the prime of his life?
Could he truly endure seeing his little one in the arms of another person in the future?
Thinking of this, the man’s eyes darkened. Whenever he thought of Mu Jin being affectionate with others, like he was with him, he couldn’t help but have an impulse to kill.
Indeed, facing Mu Jin, he couldn’t let go at all.
So, even if he only had ten years left, he had to hold on tightly. Even if he only lived for one more year and then left this world, he had to occupy the most important place in Mu Jin’s heart.
Therefore, Leng Xiao returned to the Mu family with a heavy heart, completely unaware that there was a humanoid spiritual medicine by his side.
When he opened the door and saw his little darling obediently waiting at the entrance, a pain struck his heart. He instantly embraced Mu Jin, kissing his lips forcefully.
