Yue Lingsi could obviously tell that Xi Mushan did not seem right. She hesitated and thought that he was unhappy about Xi Xinyi's matter. In fact, Xi Mushan had been quite busy recently. He left the house early and returned late, so even if she wanted to tell him anything, she never had the chance...

"Mushan, Xinyi knows she's wrong. She's already repented many times. Have you seen how wan and sallow she looks now? Even I can't bear to see it. She isstill our child," Yue Lingsi spoke as her heart ached. She was her daughter after all. No matter what it was, could she really blame her? In fact, the way Xi Xinyi was right now was so similar to how she was years ago.

"This is the good daughter that you raised. She would plot to frame even her own sister! Compared to you, she's really outperformed her master. Why? Have I hit the nail on the head?" Xi Mushan glared at Yue Lingsi coldly. His sharp eagle eyes had a cold light although his tone was extremely calm.

"Mushan, I... Those things are in the past. Now, we..."

Before Yue Lingsi could finish, Xi Mushan already cut her off. "We? Only you would acknowledge that there's a 'we'. You and I are only maintaining a relationship based on that marriage certificate. I've wasted more than 20 years. You'd better enjoy the taste of this.

"Do you think that by forcing Wenna to leave me, I would fancy you? How preposterous! As amazing as you may be, you wouldn't compare to a finger of hers. Do you understand?"

When Xi Mushan said this, Yue Lingsi was stunned. Her whole body began to tremble involuntarily.

No matter how it was, he had never spoken to her like this. Recently, he seemed to be becoming more and more like this.

"Wenna... Wenna, Wenna, Wenna! You only have her in your heart, don't you? Which part of my love for you loses out to hers? I'm willing to go against my father wishes, willing to go far to another country, willing to let others curse me of being shameless! All of this, who do I do it for? I thought that after being burdened with so much and quietly persevering for so many years, I thought I could move you and finally get some sort of consolation from you! But now? How do I, Yue Lingsi, lose to Shen Wenna? Tell me!"

Yue Lingsi still carried her princess attitude when she was criticized by Xi Mushan. She was obviously miserable. All of the recent grievances that she had suppressed immediately rushed up and the scenes of her conversation with Shen Wenna started to flash past her mind. She could not help but lose control as she scowled at Xi Mushan with red eyes.

Sadly, Xi Mushan just sneered indifferently. His cold heart never melted. He lowered his body and looked mockingly at Yue Lingsi as he said icily, "Are you asking how you lose to Wenna? To me, you're nothing like her at all because the person I care about will forever be her while you..."

Suddenly, Xi Mushan's tall figure walked past her and left a distant shadow behind.

As she watched Xi Mushan's figure vanish out of the doorway, from the corner of Yue Lingsi's swollen eyes, she could not hold back her tears. After a very long while, she turned to leave the room. However, she had just walked out when she bumped into Deng Wenwen in the hallway.

Deng Wenwen's expression was calm as she watched Xi Mushan walk downstairs. There was still a crisp, indistinct light in her still eyes. It was hard to tell what she was thinking about.

When she heard footsteps behind her, Deng Wenwen turned around. Indeed, she saw Yue Lingsi who looked down behind her. She frowned and her aged voice came through with a stern manner that could not be concealed, "What happened? Did you two fight?"
