Chapter 288: Why Didn’t He Protect Her?

Xing Jiuan paused and nodded.
He was right.
After changing her trajectory, the Huo family had changed, and so had Huo Chulan’s ending.
Perhaps she did not care much about the Huo family, but she was especially concerned about Huo Chulan and Wu Lin’s relationship.
These two were the people she hated the most.
“Perhaps I can help you in some way,” the elder said when she did not speak.
Xing Jiuan looked at him. “Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t think I need it.”
“I don’t know who you are or what you want to do. You can see through me, but don’t reveal my secrets.”
“I won’t.”
“That better be the case.” Xing Jiuan took two steps forward. “This is your room. You can eat with us, but don’t say anything strange or say anything else.”
“…Okay.”
Xing Jiuan paused and still thanked him.
With that, she left.
When there was no more sound outside, Mu Qing finally moved.
His hands and feet were already a little numb.
Xing Jiuan’s five senses were not inferior to his. If he had made a movement, he might have been discovered by Xing Jiuan. Therefore, he had maintained that posture the entire time and even his breathing had been lighter.
His mind was still blank as he thought about their conversation…
So his little junior sister had already lived a lifetime?
It seemed like she had not lived well. She had faced a calamity?
Then where had he been?
Why didn’t he protect her?
Why would he let her suffer and… die so early?
Mu Qing did not know that his eyes were already a little red. He seemed to be in extreme pain and his entire body hurt.
However, he had already started taking some things with him. He still had to go out later, so he wanted to cover up for himself.
He took the fruits and made a fruit platter. During this process, he had already restrained his emotions. When he went out, he could no longer see anything unusual.
“Senior Brother, did you get some fruits?”
Xing Jiuan asked as she walked down the stairs.
“Yes, it’ll take a while to eat dinner. Eat some fruits first.”
Xing Jiuan walked over and casually took an orange. “Actually, I’m not hungry either.”
“It’s just some fruits,” Mu Qing replied with a smile as he sat beside her.
As Xing Jiuan spoke, she continued to eat the fruits.
Although Mu Qing had many questions in his heart, he did not choose to ask Xing Jiuan.
If this was true, then his question might make Xing Jiuan recall something very sad again. That was something he did not want no matter what.
He suddenly remembered that when they returned back then, Xing Jiuan seemed to have become a different person. She was also a little distant from him. She was even obedient and nervous when she spoke to him.
Was it because she had been reborn?
She had experienced many things, so even her personality had been worn down…
She did not dare to be brash, reckless, or willful. That lawless little devil had become even more obedient than a kitten…
Mu Qing suddenly wondered if he had done something to hurt Xing Jiuan in his previous life.
Also, Xing Jiuan always said she wanted to be more obedient…
Had he said anything to Xing Jiuan?
However, even though he had all kinds of thoughts, he could only suppress them in his heart.
He did not dare to ask Xing Jiuan.
Xing Jiuan had finally slowly returned to how she used to be. He did not want such a little junior sister to alienate him and be afraid of him…
