Wanqing stared at him in bewilderment.

He said, "I've never seen you smile before."

Wanqing was taken aback. He wanted to see her smile?

"Be good and give me a smile," he said. He didn't need her to fear him, nor did he want her to serve him trembling with fear. He wanted to see her smile at him, sincerely... Of course, it didn't matter if it was fake; even pretending would be fine...

Wanqing looked at him, unable to smile. She tried to pull the corners of her mouth up, but the result was even uglier than crying.

Seeing this, Mu Tianyang's hand trembled, wanting to slap her again. But... he couldn't bear to do it! He pushed her away and withdrew from her body.

Wanqing moaned softly and slid to the floor.

"Get out of here!" Mu Tianyang roared. He had not only spent money on her but also fallen for her! Yet, she wouldn't even smile at him...

Wanqing put on her clothes and hurriedly left the study.

Mu Tianyang slumped in his chair, painfully closing his eyes and vowing at the ceiling, "Ding Wanqing... I can't be the only one suffering. If I've fallen in love with you, you must fall in love with me too!"

The next day, Mu Tianyang unexpectedly granted Wanqing permission to visit Xu Kewei. Wanqing was both surprised and frightened, not knowing why he would do this and dare not agree.

Mu Tianyang slammed his hand on the desk, "How dare you be so bold now? Can't you even say thank you?"

"Thank you! Thank you!" Wanqing exclaimed hastily.

Mu Tianyang threw down the breakfast, "Go to school tomorrow. Wear and use whatever I bought you before. Everyone there does, so you don't have to feel bad anymore!"

"Yes," Wanqing replied, feeling a chill on her wrist.

Mu Tianyang kicked his chair in frustration and left the villa. Wanqing also finished her breakfast and changed her clothes to go to the hospital. As usual, Xu Kewei worried about her studies and advised her not to come, but Wanqing lied through her teeth to reassure Xu Kewei.

Xu Kewei said, "It's not your monthly holiday right now. Don't think I don't know."

"Alright..." Wanqing said, "When you're discharged, it'll be my monthly holiday, so you can't say anything then, right?"

"Your studies are important!"

"I haven't neglected them."

As Wanqing was preparing to leave, a nurse came to call Xu Kewei for her medication. Wanqing put her bag down and said, "I'll wait for you to take your medicine before I leave!" She then went to pour water.

Xu Kewei couldn't help it. She lowered her head and noticed something falling out of her torn cloth bag. She reached out and pulled out a mobile phone...

When Wanqing came back with the water, she was stunned to see Xu Kewei holding her mobile phone.

Xu Kewei furrowed her brows and asked, "Where did this come from?"

"It's..." Wanqing's hands trembled, and she was anxious about how to explain.

Xu Kewei pursed her lips lightly and put the phone aside, "It's not bad that he cares for you."

After a moment of distraction, Wanqing realized she was talking about Ding Zhigang. She thought the phone was bought by Ding Zhigang. Wanqing felt desolate inside and wanted to tell her it wasn't! Ding Zhigang hadn't given her anything; instead, he had sold her! She was better off accepting Mu Tianyang's favors! At least Mu Tianyang had saved her mother and bought her things. He was better than that man who called himself her father.

Wanqing put down the water and said coldly, "Just a few things! They don't mean anything!"

Xu Kewei looked at her, "If that's the case, take fewer of his favors in the future! If that mother and daughter find out, they'll cause trouble again!"

"Hmm..."
