I want to take you wandering.

Chapter 376 The Mute Girl is Exposed!

Su Ruiyi wandered aimlessly after Ou Yunchen went to find the mute girl.

She ended up at a dessert shop, where she sat eating ice cream and spacing out.

Colin: "Alone?"

Su Ruiyi jumped, startled by how this pervert had managed to sit opposite her without her noticing.

Colin: "Please, don't give me that look every time you see me. I'm actually delighted to see you!"

Su Ruiyi: "I'm done eating, I need to go..."

Colin grabbed Su Ruiyi, urging her to sit down and eat with him.

Su Ruiyi glanced at the bodyguards by the door and reluctantly sat down again opposite Colin.

Colin: "Why are you alone?"

Su Ruiyi: "Aren't you alone too?"

Colin: "Me being alone is normal. You being alone when you have a boyfriend is not normal..."

Su Ruiyi: "Ou Yunchen went to see that mute girl."

Colin: "That mute girl again? It seems you really are just a tool to deceive outsiders."

Su Ruiyi: "I'm not!!! Ou Yunchen and that mute girl have nothing going on!"

Colin: "Then he abandons you to be with another woman? Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a scumbag."

Su Ruiyi: "That mute girl needs to see a psychologist. Ou Yunchen is just accompanying her to the appointment!"

Colin: "Are you sure it's not a gynecologist?"

Su Ruiyi: "You!"

Colin laughed heartily, thinking his joke was hilarious. However, it only made Su Ruiyi angrier.

Colin: "Alright, not funny..."

Colin: "The mute girl has psychological problems?"

Su Ruiyi: "What's so strange about it? I think you're the one who needs to see a psychologist!"

Colin: "Hmm... do you know why she's seeing a psychologist?"

Su Ruiyi: "To cure her inability to speak!"

Colin: "She wasn't born mute?"

Su Ruiyi: "I heard it was because she experienced something terrifying as a child, and it scared her into becoming mute."

Colin: "That's truly unfortunate!"

Su Ruiyi: "I hope she remains mute forever..."

Colin: "Women consumed by jealousy are quite a sight!"

Su Ruiyi glared at Colin. For some reason, although Colin was sometimes perverted and acted strangely, she had been encountering him so often lately that she wasn't as scared of him anymore. Sometimes, she even dared to retort.

Colin: "I know a fun place. Want to go with me?"

Su Ruiyi: "No."

Colin: "Come on, if you go with me, I'll tell you stories about Ou Yunchen."

Su Ruiyi: "I already know everything about him, I don't need you to tell me."

Colin: "That's not necessarily true. Do you know what he was doing before he came to this country?"

Su Ruiyi: "In Sworz?"

Colin: "No, in Country Y and Country M."

Su Ruiyi frowned. She had never heard that Ou Yunchen had lived in those countries before. And from what Colin seemed to imply, she knew very little about him...

Colin suddenly put down his spoon and stood up.

Colin: "If you want to know about him, you have to come with me."

It's not just easy to trick a kindergarten child with a piece of candy; sometimes, to abduct an adult, especially a beautiful adult woman, all it takes is her curiosity...

And so, Su Ruiyi ended up spending the rest of the day with Colin.

Colin took Su Ruiyi to his stargazing platform, where an astronomical telescope was set up. At night, they could even see the five planets and the cratered surface of the moon.

However, to keep Su Ruiyi patiently with him to watch the meteor shower that night, Colin had to resort to telling her ancient stories.

Initially, Colin thought Su Ruiyi would be scared by the bloody tales, but he seemed to have underestimated her tolerance. Sometimes, she would even curse alongside Colin at those unruly bastards!

Su Ruiyi: "Poor Ou Yunchen, why does he always get those terrible missions!"

Colin's mouth twitched. How could this girl be so unfazed by murder and arson?

Colin: "Do you think I'm making up stories to trick you?"

Su Ruiyi: "No. If you were making them up, you'd be a phenomenal storyteller. It's a shame you're not a novelist."

Colin: "So, even after knowing what Ou Yunchen used to do, you wouldn't hate him?"

Su Ruiyi: "Why would I hate him? I already knew a little bit."

Colin: "You knew?"

Su Ruiyi: "I'm not like that naive mute girl who just goes 'ah, ah, ah.' I told you I understand Ou Yunchen quite well. Today has just confirmed my previous thoughts."

Colin: "Is that so... Well, you're quite impressive then..."

Su Ruiyi stood by the telescope and peered through it.

Su Ruiyi: "The meteors you mentioned haven't appeared yet. How long do I have to wait?"

Colin: "It should be around this time..."

Su Ruiyi suddenly exclaimed. She saw a meteor flash by.

Colin looked up at the sky. He seemed to have seen it too. Tonight, the Leonids meteor shower was about to reach its peak.

Just then, Colin's phone rang.

--Colin on the phone--

Colin: "You always call when I'm in the middle of something interesting."

Maggie: "Ruined your fun again?"

Colin: "Fun or not, that remains to be seen."

Maggie: "Stop messing with those girls. I have some astonishing news."

Colin: "Go ahead." 138reading.net

Maggie: "Michelle seems to have contacted Axe's primary physician. It's now 100% confirmed that Axe is still alive."

Colin: "That just proves Ou Yunchen knows Axe inside out. We already knew he was alive."

Maggie: "Let me finish! Michelle also seems to have discovered that Axe has a sister..."

Colin: "Isn't it you?"

Maggie: "No, a biological sister!"

Colin spat out the grape he had just put in his mouth. This was truly shocking news!

Maggie: "Moreover, Michelle has sent people to look for the girl."

Colin: "Where?"

Maggie: "Michelle has a photograph. On the back of it, there seems to be an address, but unfortunately, the child wasn't fully captured in the photo..."

Colin: "Axe's sister, his sister?!"

Suddenly, Colin burst out laughing. He remembered what Su Ruiyi had said...

Maggie: "What are you going crazy about? What are you laughing at! I'm not mistaken! He really has a sister!"

Colin: "My dear, of course, I believe you. I just suddenly realized what a treasure Ou Yunchen has been hiding!"

--Call ends--

Colin's laughter also caught Su Ruiyi's attention.

She looked at the manic Colin with confusion, regretting and fearing that she had agreed to watch the meteor shower with this pervert.

Su Ruiyi: "Why are you laughing like that?"

Colin raised his wine glass and clinked it with Su Ruiyi's.

Colin: "Do you have a legend like this here..."

Su Ruiyi: "What kind?"

Colin: "Wishing upon seeing a shooting star?"

Su Ruiyi: "Yes, I've known that since I was a child, but it's just a trick to fool kids. It never worked!"

Colin: "No, that's because your heart wasn't sincere."

Su Ruiyi: "Did your wish come true?"

Colin: "Just now, I made a wish, and then..."

Su Ruiyi: "And then what?"

Colin: "It came true!"

Su Ruiyi: "Really? Congratulations..."

Colin continued to laugh heartily. He felt that the thought he had just had was crazy, but who knew for sure!

What if that mute girl was Axe's sister?

Otherwise, how could he explain Ou Yunchen hiding her existence so much?

Suddenly, Colin grabbed Su Ruiyi's arm.

Su Ruiyi became scared.

Su Ruiyi: "What, what do you want?!"

Colin: "You are truly my lucky goddess. Since meeting you, everything has been going smoothly for me!"

Su Ruiyi: "Let go of me..."

Colin obediently let go. He didn't want to frighten the girl who was like a goddess in his eyes.

Colin: "My wish will be fulfilled soon. What is your wish? Whatever you want, I will satisfy you completely!"

Su Ruiyi ran a few steps towards the door and then watched Colin warily.

Su Ruiyi: "I want to go home..."

Colin: "Okay, okay!"
