Feng Shanshan felt miserable for having no stand to care for him when she was worried about him. On top of that, Tang Yan did not care much about his own body. This almost made Feng Shanshan explode, especially when she saw the blood on his shoulder.

  After dinner, Feng Shanshan returned to the police station. Seeing Tang Yan eating his meal in the office, she took a detour.

  But Tang Yan grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the seat beside him.

  “What are you doing? People will see us!”


  “They’re all out,” said Tang Yan.

  “What is it? Just tell me.” Feng Shanshan rolled her eyes. She was actually more worried about being seen by other people. She did not want to have any soft of relationship with this man on the surface.

  “I know my body. If I still can’t be discharged, I wouldn’t force myself.” Tang Yan took a sip of his coffee and said deeply.

  Was he explaining himself?

  “Who cares?” Feng Shanshan snorted. “Don’t forget that we are unrelated.”


  Having said that, Feng Shanshan stood up from the bench.

  Tang Yan did not stop her. He just felt that this woman was heartless and hard to please.

  Shen thought that he would stay up in the police station tonight, or he would work at the crime scene the whole night. However, when it was time to get off work, he went to the forensics laboratory and asked Feng Shanshan, “I’m injured so I can’t drive. Can you send me back?”


  The professor looked at Feng Shanshan and she returned his look blankly. He was so brazen because the fact that they were neighbors was not news to the professor.

  “You should go to the hospital if you can’t drive. Or you can get your subordinate to send you back.” Feng Shanshan refused directly.

  “Shanshan, this kid sent you home quite a few times. Can’t you send him once?”


  “I’m just not willing to!”


  Tang Yan did not say anything and left the laboratory. And he actually got his subordinate to send him home with his car.

  “Are you two fighting?” The professor could not believe what he saw just now. “Weren’t you getting along quite well before? Anyway, you are colleagues. You should help each other out.”


  “I just don’t like him.” Feng Shanshan rolled her eyes. She went home only when it was ten o’clock.

  However, when she was at the door, she hesitated if she should knock or not.

  In the end, it was Tang Yan who texted her first. “If you don’t come home, you should at least tell me where you are.”


  “Open the door.” Feng Shanshan typed the three words after much hesitation.

  Tang Yan opened the door for her with his body half-naked. The gauze on his shoulder was wet with his blood. The sight of it angered Feng Shanshan.

  “What the hell are you angry about?” Tang Yan sat on the sofa in the living room and looked at Feng Shanshan. “I don’t like the cold war, nor the inexplicable anger. You can make things clear. There is no need to jeer at me.”


  “I’m always like this,” Feng Shanshan said directly.

  “Shanshan……”


  This was the first time she heard Tang Yan address her this way.

  Feng Shanshan took a deep breath and went into the house. She closed the door and calmed herself down. “I’m just very confused. I don’t know why I’m so angry at you. I know it clearly that we are unrelated. But when I heard that you got injured, I rushed to you faster than anyone else. You came to work again after just being shot yesterday. Do you think you are made of iron? Aren’t you afraid that people might be worried? I know I am not in a position where I can beg you. So, I think I should maintain a distance from you. At least I won’t be so angry.” Feng Shanshan wanted to walk into the bedroom right after, but Tang Yan grabbed her wrist when she passed by him

  “It’s too complicated. I don’t understand.”


  “You……”


  Tang Yan lowered his head and kissed Feng Shanshan. He sucked on her lips for quite a long time before letting her go.

  Feng Shanshan’s face turned red, but she smelt the medicine on Tang Yan’s body.

  “Let go of me!”


  “Say it in a simpler way and I will answer one important question from you.”


  ‘Was this a deal?’ Feng Shanshan laughed at herself. But she still simplified her words seriously. “I want to control you, but I don’t have the status to do so and I don’t want to be your girlfriend. So I’m angry at myself and transferred my anger onto you. Understand?”


  “I’ll let you control me without being my girlfriend.”


  ‘Isn’t this strange?’ Feng Shanshan thought about it after listening to his suggestion.

  “So, are you going to do it?”


  “Will you listen to me for real?” Feng Shanshan squinted her eyes with suspicion, not a little, but a lot.

  “I’ll try my best.”


  Hearing this, Feng Shanshan’s mood improved. “It’s you who suggested it.”


  Tang Yan looked at Feng Shanshan seriously, using his silence as an answer.

  “Then what do you want to do now?”


  “Take a shower. But it’s inconvenient with my hands now, and I might touch my wound.

  “Get in, strip naked, and wait there.” Feng Shanshan pushed him into the bathroom. “I’ll get changed and come right away.”


  Feng Shanshan thought that she didn’t seem to be involved with him, but she did not realize that her desire of merely wanting a sex partner had greedily expanded into a desire of wanting to interfere with Tang Yan’s life and to know about his past.

  Although they did not have the status of a couple, would the people around them not know about their relationship?

  She was the only one who was deceiving herself……

  The next morning, Xu Che brought news to Sheng Xiao, saying that he could not find Mu Tangxue in the slums after a thorough search.

  Although Xu Che did not know who she was, he heard that she looked similar to Mu Qiqi.

  “There has been no trace of her since a few months ago. So, I bet she was not hidden by the Ye family.”


  Ye Jingcheng must have thought that it was Xiao Qi’er who hid Mu Tangxue.

  “Continue the search.” Sheng Xiao ordered. “But let’s investigate Ye Jingcheng first.”


  This man had tortured Xiao Qi’er so many times. It was impossible for him to forget about it just like that. Moreover, it was that man who provoked him first.

  Mu Qiqi did not know Sheng Xiao was planning to deal with the Ye family. After waking up, she thought of going to the police station.

  “You don’t have to avoid Ye Jingcheng deliberately. I’ve said it before, my woman can do anything she wants. If you have to go do fieldwork, just go. If you need to go to Ye Mansion, just go. If he dares to do anything to you, I will pay him back tenfold.”


  After hearing Sheng Xiao’s words, Mu Qiqi hugged him tightly. “Okay.”


  It was just a natural reaction from being triggered yesterday. But from today onward, she would not fear him anymore.

  So, she will join in the investigation and she will also go to the Ye Mansion.

  As if it was timed, once she arrived at the police station, her seniors came to her. “Qiqi, the young master of the Ye family refused to speak and cooperate when we met him. We know you have a connection with the Ye family in the past, so we hope you can help.”


  Feng Shanshan wanted to decline for Mu Qiqi when she heard it, but Mu Qiqi said, “Alright, I’ll do it.”


  “Are you sure?”


  “Is it possible for me to avoid them?” Mu Qiqi shrugged. Just like what her man had said, everything was in the past, and she was no longer the old Mu Qiqi.
