Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 172 Letting Go (1)

Not wanting to lie, nor wanting to lay things out clearly, Mi Jing could only reply ambiguously, "I am thinking about something that I don’t want to say, don’t want to think about, don’t want to ask about, and don’t dare to say, don’t dare to think, don’t dare to ask."

"Then don’t say it, don’t think about it, don’t ask about it, just let everything happen naturally," Shen Lingxing said as she gently stroked Mi Jing’s head.

Upon hearing this, Mi Jing was almost certain that Shen Lingxing’s heart was as clear as a mirror, and it was very likely that she saw things even more clearly than Mi Jing did.

Mi Jing didn’t say anything, she just nodded slightly.

As soon as they got home, Shen Lingxing urged Mi Jing to take a bath, then walked to the balcony outside to make a phone call, seemingly about something very secretive that she didn’t want Mi Jing to know.

After her bath, Mi Jing picked up her phone and found that Chu Chen had called her, so she immediately called back without hesitation.

The phone rang for a while before it was picked up, and before Mi Jing heard Chu Chen’s voice, loud music was blaring in her ears, sounding like it was in a bar or KTV or somewhere similar.

"Hello! Sister-in-law! Hold on, let me find a quieter place," Chu Chen’s voice was raised several notches, his loud voice causing Mi Jing’s eardrums to throb, making her quickly hold the phone away from her already battered ear.

After about ten seconds, Chu Chen’s voice came again, "Sister-in-law, what did you need me for this afternoon?"

"I wanted to ask you if you knew that Li Jia was in a car accident."

"I’ve heard about it."

"Oh, then you..."

"It has nothing to do with me."

Upon hearing this, Mi Jing immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although she hated Li Jia, she didn’t want Chu Chen to retaliate in such an extreme way, as it was kind of cruel and also implicated the principal.

"Then I have nothing else."

"Wait!"

Mi Jing was about to hang up but was stopped by Chu Chen, "Sister-in-law, you’d better stay away from Zhao Yufan in the future."

"Why?"

"Because my fourth brother would get jealous!" Chu Chen joked, but Mi Jing felt that it wasn’t just a joke.

After hanging up the phone, Mi Jing took out the sketchbook and pencils from the drawer, intending to draw something to pass the time. But as she moved the pencil, a pair of eyes appeared on the paper, very similar to the ones she saw in her nightmares.

Startled, the hand holding the pencil trembled. In an instant, the pencil slid off the sketchbook.

With a bang, Mi Jing was shocked, her body shivered suddenly. She quickly tore the sketch off, ripped it to pieces, and threw the scraps into the trash bin beside her.

What was happening to her?

Holding her blanket, Mi Jing glanced out at the dark night outside the window. Feeling even more scared, she tightened her grip on the blanket, hoping that Shen Lingxing would come out of the bathroom soon.

She was already afraid of the dark, and after that nightmare, her emotions seemed to have become more sensitive. Alone in this quiet and spacious room, the tension kept spreading, and she couldn’t calm down.

A few minutes later—

Click, the bathroom door opened, and seeing Shen Lingxing walking out, Mi Jing’s tense nerves relaxed considerably. All her reactions were completely observed by Shen Lingxing.

"Thinking about that nightmare again?" Shen Lingxing came to the bedside, sat down, smoothed Mi Jing’s bangs, and asked softly.

"Yes." Mi Jing nodded drowsily.

"It’s okay, I’m here." Shen Lingxing got into bed and held Mi Jing in her arms, "How about I make you some calming tea?"

"No, I just want you to stay with me." No matter how effective the calming tea was, it could never reassure her as much as having Shen Lingxing by her side.

They lay down one after the other. Without Shen Lingxing making any move, Mi Jing proactively snuggled into his arms tonight, her slender arms tightly holding his strong waist.

Shen Lingxing sighed lowly, gently patting her back, soothing her to sleep like a child.

New Year’s Day had already passed for several days, and today was the last day for Xuanxuan to attend kindergarten this term. After the semester-ending ceremony organized by the kindergarten, since Xuanxuan had to stay there for another half day, Mi Wan drove away alone, planning to go to Ji Dongquan’s house to give He Zerui a lesson. But halfway through, a sudden phone call changed her plans.

Rushing to the police station, after some inquiries, Mi Wan finally found the policeman who had called her.

"Are you Miss Mi?" The policeman, who looked in his early thirties, glanced at Mi Wan standing in front of the desk. His expression was calm, his tone neither cold nor warm, asking in a business-like manner.

"Yes, I am Han Bin’s cousin, Mi Wan." At this point, Mi Wan had already collected her worried emotions, calmly facing the policeman sitting in front of her, asking, "Officer, may I ask what my cousin did?"

On the phone, the policeman hadn’t explained clearly, only saying that Han Bin was arrested for causing trouble and asked her to come to the police station. Based on Mi Wan’s experience, she guessed that what Han Bin did wasn’t serious, otherwise they wouldn’t just simply ask a family member to come.

"Malicious assault!" After saying these four words, the policeman’s expression became more serious and continued, "And your cousin is quite impressive. He seriously injured two people at once, not even sparing the patients lying in the hospital!"

Assault?

Two people?

Mi Wan pondered for a moment and then asked, "So, what’s the other party’s stance? Do they want to hold him accountable or not?"

Upon hearing this, the policeman’s face suddenly turned cold. Looking at Mi Wan, he said, "Miss Mi, shouldn’t you first be concerned about the victims’ condition? This is a society governed by law, everyone is equal, not just your family members are humans!"

Hearing the dissatisfaction and accusations in the policeman’s words, Mi Wan remained composed, "Officer, I am well-educated, I don’t need you to tell me these principles. Besides, if it were you, would you be concerned about two animals who had hurt you and your family?"

Mi Wan’s voice was soft and gentle, but every word she uttered was forceful, capturing the attention of other staff in the office. The policeman staring at her was stunned, his cold face instantly covered with astonishment.

After a moment of silence, the embarrassed policeman said, "Miss Mi, I’m sorry, if I misunderstood you due to lack of information, please forgive me."

Actually, the policeman was angered by Han Bin’s arrogant attitude. Unable to get anything useful out of him and receiving a load of frustration, he became slightly prejudiced, which reflected in his slightly biased attitude towards Mi Wan.
