“How did you know those people were trying to extort money?” Xia Bing thought about those intimidating figures and knew she wouldn’t have handled it so smoothly.
“You don’t know, women often claim to be pregnant with my child…” He found it ironic – women he didn’t even remember, never touched, claiming pregnancy like some immaculate conception.
“Well…” Xia Bing was about to ask more but stopped, thinking it was his private matter.
“I don’t know them.” Those models and such were just trying to use his status for publicity.
Mo Yan came out, and Xia Bing asked about Aunt Wen’s condition.
“She took some medicine and is much better now. Sister, I…” Mo Yan, looking embarrassed, quickly retreated to his room.
Xia Bing asked Xiahou Zun to explain the details.
“Based on what Mo Yan told me, I suspect he was set up in a honey trap, by a group that specializes in such extortion. Mo Yan said when he woke up, he found himself naked with a woman, with no memory of what happened…” Xiahou Zun explained, and Xia Bing understood.
Clearing Up Misunderstandings
Lost in thought, Xia Bing forgot she was holding a broken ceramic bowl shard, and when she applied pressure, she cried out, “Ah!”
“Where’s the first aid kit?”
Xia Bing told him where the kit was, and Xiahou went to get medicine while asking her to clean her wound.
Xiahou Zun carefully treated Xia Bing’s wound, and she felt a strange warmth in her heart. Today, if not for him… she gazed at Xiahou, lost in thought.
Until Xia Hou Zun treated her wound, when their eyes met, Xia Bing silently blamed herself, wondering what kind of infatuation she was experiencing, thinking all sorts of messy thoughts.
“I’ll clean up things here. You go and keep Aunt Wen company,” Xia Hou handed the medicine box to Xia Bing and began tidying up the mess on the floor.
Xia Bing thanked him and went to Aunt Wen’s side.
Xia Bing entered and saw Aunt Wen was still awake.
“Aunt Wen, things aren’t what you think,” Xia Bing prepared to explain, not wanting to damage the relationship between Aunt Wen and Mo Yan that had been so hard to improve.
