Chapter 62: Naive and Sweet Fourth Brother

Chapter 62: Naive and Sweet Fourth Brother

Yun Mu quickly supported Aunt Zhang, softening her tone. "Aunt Zhang, I've never blamed you. It was you who suffered because of our Yun family's troubles, forced to flee for so many years."

"The doctor here is my friend, so it's very safe. You can rest assured and recover here. When you're better, I'll come and fetch you."

Can she really recover?

Aunt Zhang's eyes reddened, but she held back her tears, nodding. "Yes, I'll listen to Miss."

She knew all along that Miss was not as portrayed by the rumors. Now it seemed that Miss was still as kind as when she was young, but much wiser and stronger.

It was Lady Yun's loss to distance herself from Miss and draw closer to Miss II.

How could Lady Yun think like that?

After watching Aunt Zhang fall into a deep sleep, Yun Mu quietly left the room, instructing the bodyguards at the door to remain vigilant.

Next, she planned to find Lu Nansen to get a detailed understanding of Aunt Zhang's condition.

Yet, upon turning on his phone, he was met with the day's headline news.

In just one day, the Gong family had actually gone bankrupt!

Moreover, Miss Gong was under arrest, awaiting trial for allegedly plotting against Young Madam Huo!

Hadn't Yun Tingying suppressed the news of his explosion? How did it end up reaching the police station?

Could it be... that he was behind it?

Yun Mu's lips curved, revealing a faint smile.

"Yun Mu, why are you here?"

Startled, Yun Mu lifted her gaze.

There, standing a full six feet three inches across from her, Yun Muze was staring at her with a guarded expression.

"You still want to hurt Yao'er? Let me tell you, don't even think about it!"

Yun Mu abruptly realized that at the end of the corridor was Yun Shuiyao's room.

He sneered, curling his lips. "She's already my defeated opponent. Why would I look for her? And you, too, are my conquered rival!"

"You!"

Yun Muze's eyes flared with anger. At this moment, facing his own sister, he felt an awkwardness in his heart.

Initially, he detested this foolish and ugly younger sister, feeling she brought shame to him and always bullied Yao'er.

But after yesterday's events, he vaguely understood that he might have misunderstood Yun Mu in some matters. Moreover, Yun Mu was indeed a better racer than him!

However, this didn't mean he could forgive the other wrongs Yun Mu had committed!

Grandfather was left comatose due to Yun Mu's actions. Yao'er was forced to jump into the sea because of Yun Mu's machinations, and now she lay weakly on a hospital bed...

The Yun family's tranquility had been disrupted entirely because of this calamity!

"Yes, I lost the race to you. I'm willing to accept defeat and be your subordinate!" Yun Muze lifted his proud and rebellious face, clenching his fists. "But that doesn't mean I forgive you! I believe Yao'er is innocent. It was your cunning schemes that ruined her reputation and disfigured her! If you don't apologize, I will never acknowledge you as this ruthless and merciless sister!"

Yun Muze, the youngest son of the Yun family, had grown up pampered by his elders. He was notorious in the capital city for his mischief and troublemaking before leaving the country.

On the other hand, Yun Tingying was perpetually occupied, often neglecting this son, leaving his upbringing to his three elder brothers. Essentially, he was allowed to roam free; when he caused trouble, money or power were used to settle issues, and if that failed, the family's patriarch, Yun Laozu, would intervene.

Fortunately, Yun Muze possessed an exceptional talent for racing, which somewhat redeemed his reputation.

This naive, sheltered young man, who had never faced adversity or seen the darker side of life, was easily manipulated by Yun Shuiyao!

"Yun Muze, do you really think I did all these things to gain recognition from your Yun family? How laughable! What right do you have to confront me like this? You're merely a gullible child being toyed with!"

Yun Mu's beautiful eyes lifted slightly, her clear gaze piercing directly into Yun Muze, exuding a captivating coldness and beauty.

Stunned by her outburst, Yun Muze stood there dumbfounded, unable to utter a single word.

"Remember, from now on, address me properly as Elder Brother whenever you see me!"

With that, Yun Mu turned and left, entering the elevator.

Yun Muze, still in a daze, watched her retreating figure for a long while, unable to recover from the encounter.

This audacious girl actually dared to call him a brat!

What gave her the right to act so arrogantly?

In reality, he had only said those harsh words to intimidate her.

If she could be as obedient as Yao'er and call him 'brother' like she should, perhaps... he wouldn't be angry anymore.

After Yun Mu visited Lu Nansen's office, she prepared to leave the hospital but noticed that it had started snowing again.

As Yun Mu took a step out, her eyes suddenly sparkled.

Through the flurry of snowflakes, a man was lazily leaning against an extravagant car on the other side. Dressed in a black overcoat with a white turtleneck sweater underneath, his long legs were crossed, and a cigarette between his fingers produced a trail of smoke.

The thick snowflakes, like feathers, landed on his hair and coat, adding a veil of ethereal beauty to his appearance. He was unbelievably handsome.

This darned man was indeed the most attractive person she had ever come across in her two lifetimes.

"Huo Tingcheng!"

Yun Mu spoke up.

The man across from her lifted his head at the sound, a faint curve forming on his lips.

The girl in the red coat waved at him and then, with legs pumping, dashed over and crashed into his presence.

Huo Tingcheng instinctively reached out and encircled her slender waist.

Looking at the snow on his shoulder, Yun Mu's expression turned slightly irked. "When did you arrive? Are you trying to shorten your lifespan by exposing yourself to the cold wind?"

This little woman was clearly worried about him but chose to put on a fierce facade.

Huo Tingcheng grinned. "I just got here."

Yun Mu snatched the cigarette from between his fingers and tossed it onto the ground, stomping it out.

"I'm a strict doctor. Smoking is prohibited for my patients."

Huo Tingcheng smiled amiably. "Alright, I won't smoke anymore."

Yun Mu curved her lips into a smile.

Huo Tingcheng, however, noticed the subtle reddening at the corners of her eyes. Recalling the text message he had just received from Lu Nansen, he gently rubbed her head, feeling a pang of heartache.

The girl in his arms was so delicate and petite. No matter how regal she might appear in her daily life, she was still just a young lady in her twenties at heart.

She was dominant, sharp, ruthless, cunning... but she also needed a comforting embrace.

If Aunt Zhang were to leave, Yun Mu would be deeply saddened too, he realized.

Huo Tingcheng lowered his gaze, softly rubbing his chin against her hair. After a moment, he gradually released his hold on her.

"Hungry? Let's go have something to eat?"

Only then did Yun Mu remember that since leaving home that morning, she had only consumed a cup of coffee. Her stomach had long been protesting.

Nodding, she replied, "Yes, I'm hungry."

Huo Tingcheng gently tousled her hair before opening the passenger door. Yun Mu climbed in.

After getting in the car, Hao Tingcheng took a bag from the backseat. "I bought this for you."

Yun Mu opened it to find a delicately packaged small cake inside.

"Hold on, last time at the dessert shop, our purchase was interrupted, so I'll make up for it today," Hao Tingcheng said, turning sideways.

Yun Mu was taken aback.
