Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go

Chapter 585: Chapter 585: Nothing Else, Okay?

What’s more, Zhang Shishi is a girl, can she endure it?

”Xiao Han, wait for my news, I’m going.” Mu Shaojie wasn’t comfortable letting her take the risk.

Mu Anhan gazed at him: ”We can take care of each other together, Sixth Brother, I’m not a child anymore, I can take care of myself. Besides, if we delay and miss the time to save Third Brother and Shi Shi, we’ll regret it for the rest of our lives, won’t we?”

Mu Shaojie met her determined gaze and nodded heavily, ”Alright, let’s go!”

They first returned to the house they were staying in earlier, but the mudslide had already covered it, making it impossible to see anything.

...

In the cave.

A fire had been made, and Mu Shaochen was glad he had brought a lighter, as he occasionally smoked a cigarette or two when he was restless.

Earlier, when he grabbed a vine to jump down, he saw a cave that could shelter them from the wind and rain.

Zhang Shishi sat by the fire, watching Mu Shaochen observe the surroundings at the cave entrance.

”Shaochen, you should leave first! It’s not safe here either. Once you’re out, you can come back to rescue me, it’s not too late.” Zhang Shishi advised him.

Mu Shaochen turned around and saw her gentle eyes. He slowly walked over to her, crouched down, and gazed at her: ”With me here, you’ll be alright.”

Zhang Shishi suddenly cried, ”We’ve broken up. Why are you still being so nice to me?”

Remember, last time in Ice City, he was also by her side during a fire, risking himself to save her.

”Shi Shi, I like you!” Mu Shaochen whispered, ”I shouldn’t have mentioned breaking up with you; it was my mistake!”

Zhang Shishi turned her head, ”Let’s not talk about this now, let’s discuss it after we get out.”

Mu Shaochen sensed a glimmer of hope, ”Once we’re out, are you going to stop being with Shao Jue?”

Zhang Shishi didn’t directly answer but instead asked him, ”What about you? What’s going on with Tong Tong?”

”Tong Tong is my little sister’s best friend, she grew up with us, and our brothers treat her like a sister.” Mu Shaochen smiled, ”From the beginning until now, you’ve been the only woman for me.”

Zhang Shishi bit her lip. In fact, Mu Shaochen was the only man for her too.

Of course, she wasn’t going to tell him that.

”Does your knee still hurt? Let me take a look!” Mu Shaochen held her ankle, wanting to roll up her pants to check.

”I’m fine...” Zhang Shishi tried to pull her leg back, not letting him see.

Mu Shaochen looked up, ”I can’t be at ease, just let me take a look, I won’t do anything else, okay?”

Zhang Shishi blushed, ”What are you trying to do?”

”I’m just worried you might misunderstand, that’s why I’m reminding you,” Mu Shaochen whispered.

Zhang Shishi recalled the kiss at his house and couldn’t help but snort, ”I haven’t agreed to be with you yet.”

”Even as ordinary friends, if you’re hurt, I can still check your injury, right?” Mu Shaochen chuckled softly.

”You’re wrong; how can ex-lovers possibly remain ordinary friends?” Zhang Shishi didn’t agree, ”There’s always a lingering wound in the heart; it’s best not to have any contact at all.”

Mu Shaochen knew the breakup was because he acted too rashly; his leg was injured, and he didn’t want to burden her, which is why he suggested breaking up.

And Zhang Shishi knew nothing about this.

She was already a sensitive girl, always believing that the difference in their family backgrounds made him feel she wasn’t good enough, and that’s why he broke up with her.
