Unsurprisingly, Lin Lin was cowed by Mubaiâs threat.
The little fella pouted and grumbled, âOkay then. I will not disturb her now, but remember to tell her that 1 will go visit when sheâs feeling better.â
âYou have my word.â
âAlso, give her this.â Lin Lin took out a piece of chocolate and passed it to Mubai. âThis is my favorite snack. Itâs very good. Eating one always makes me feel better so Iâm sure itâll do the same for her.â
âOkay,â Mubai accepted the chocolate with a kind smile and turned to look at Xinghe. He saw a flash of gentleness cross her eyes.
âThen⊠goodbye.â The little fella turned to leave.
Xinghe watched as her child walk away and melancholy gnawed at her heart. She didnât even say a word during the brief meeting. She didnât want to spook the child.
âThis is for you.â Mubai passed her the chocolate and explained slowly, âI donât think itâs wise to pull him into this, itâll only confuse him.â
âYouâre right.â Xinghe accepted the chocolate and turned towards the villa.
There was determination in her eyes. This brief encounter with her son made her more adamant to return to her own body!
After Xia Meng woke up in Xingheâs body, her emotions were complicated.
There was excitement, anxiety, and guiltâŠ
In other words, it was an emotional roller-coaster, big highs and lows.
She didnât expect the experiment to really be successful. But now that it was, she was feeling lostâŠ
She had no idea whether what she did was correct or not but she had no choice.
But the thing that gave her the most anxiety was the fact that Xi Mubai seemed to have started suspecting her.
How else could she explain the fact that he was her only visitor even though she had regained consciousness for quite some time?
Xia Meng needed to find out more information. She asked the nurse that took care of her, âIâm sorry but where is Xi Mubai?â
âMr. Xi seems to have left the mansion grounds; I have no idea where he went.â
âThank youâŠâ Xia Meng nodded and she couldnât help but ask, âWhere is this place and can I go out for a walk?â
âIâm sorry, Miss Xia but not yet, your body is still recovering and Mr. Xi specifically ordered that youâre to stay in this room until youâre feeling better.â
âBut 1 just want to have some fresh airâŠâ
âWithout Mr. Xiâs permission, youâre not allowed to leave this room.â
âWhy?â Xia Meng felt her heart chill.
âBecause you donât have the right to,â a crisp yet suspiciously familiar voice suddenly said.
Xia Meng turned to the voice and her eyes widened when she saw the person who walked in.
It was a weird feeling watching her own body not from a mirror but from another personâs perspective.
It felt incredibly surreal, like she was in a dream.
Xia Meng blanched when she saw Xinghe walk into the room.
Xingheâs sharp gaze fell on her immediately.
Under her fierce scrutiny, Xia Mengâs internal anxiety and anxiousness were amplified.
âPlease excuse us!â Mubai told the nurse. The nurse nodded and left silently, closing the door behind her.
Finally, in the room, there were only the three of them.
Xia Meng finally understood everything. Xi Mubai had found out the truth and Xia Xinghe was there to make things straight..
