Chapter 62 Confused
"Hey." Li Yue’s voice was hoarse, her throat dry. She looked at Mo Li’s sleeping face and poked his arm. "Hey." The sound of thunder was still apparent outside. A sign that the storm was still raging.
"You’re awake?" Mo Li immediately shifted and removed her head from his arm. Then he jolted up and moved away from her.
"..." Was she really that scary? Perhaps she smelt bad? Li Yue was confused. However, she didn’t say anything. Instead she stared at their current dwelling and sighed. It seems that they were still in the cave. She remembered coming in here and losing her consciousness. Indeed, her luck was extremely bad.
"You are fine now." Mo Li said.
She lowered her head as she heard her stomach grumble.
"Don’t look at me. I’m hungry too."
"Crackers?"
"I didn’t eat it earlier. You can eat it." Mo Li gave her a pack of crackers and turned his head away. Why did she find this action cute? Was he trying to act cute in this situation?
"I have my own crackers." She quickly retrieved another cracker. "You should eat that."
"If you have so many crackers then why didn’t you say so?" Mo Li frowned and didn’t wait for her to say anything. He opened the crackers and started eating. He had been so exhausted earlier that he actually fell asleep with her on his arms. Now, Li Yue knew that he hugged her while she was sleeping. Despite thinking this, Mo Li maintained an indifferent appearance. "Once we leave this place. Don’t contact me again."
"..." Why was he so mad? Li Yue couldn’t understand what was going on with this man. Earlier, he was too nice to let her sleep on his arms while she was sick. Now, he was acting like a villain. He even scolded her for not telling him about her food. How could she tell him if she was unconscious? However, Li Yue was honestly too weak to argue. So... she nodded and started eating her own food.
Seeing this, Mo Li’s gaze darkened even more. Why is this woman so hateful?
Li Yue didn’t have any idea why Mo Li was angry. However, she quickly assumed that it
They would surely die.
"If we stay here... then maybe Sun Fengmian won’t find us." She said almost meekly. She honestly did not have the strength to argue anymore. Moreover, Mo Li had saved her countless times already. It was as if the current situation was reversed. Instead of her acting like the princess in a white armor saving the knight, it was actually the other way around.
Of course, she was not sulking about this matter. After all, her real quest was to stop the villain from killing the male lead. Meaning, since Li Weiwei was not here then... she was succeeding in her real goal. Mo Li won’t fall for that woman. She smiled inwardly.
"Hmph! That Sun Fengmian doesn’t know what’s good for her. When I was a child, she tried to poison me twice! Good thing my people noticed it. She even used that stupid Bai Lan against me. Does she really think I would like a woman like that?" Mo Li murmured just enough for Li Yue to hear. "The Sun Family has been scheming against me and yet my father didn’t stop them. If I didn’t have my maternal family then... I would surely have died before I reached the age of ten."
Li Yue looked at the now talkative man in front of her. Was this because of stress? Or... had he started to trust her? Wait... Slowly, her beautiful eyes widened. Two people can only keep a secret if one of them is dead. "Are you planning to kill me?"
"..." What was she talking about? Almost immediately the serious atmosphere cracked. "Why would I kill you?" He asked with a weird expression on his face.
She gulped in response. She was already a changed woman. She really should stop herself from thinking too much. "I was just... thinking. Since your family is so dangerous. What if they kill me once they find us?"
"My maternal family would never touch you. I don’t know about my father and Sun Fengmian. But... as long as you leave this country. Then you should be fine." He answered with a straight face.
"Oh."
"Yes. I will prepare a bank account for you. It won’t have much but it should be enough for you to survive in a year outside of the country."
Her gaze turned suspicious. "Why are you being so kind?"
He only shrugged in response. Even he didn’t know what the hell all this was about. Clearly, he hated this woman and yet, he immediately offered something to her without even a second thought.
"You know that I won’t refuse this, right?" Li Yue asked. "I don’t have anything that I can give you in return."
Mo Li turned silent as he stared at her. "Just stay alive." He immediately regretted his words. Why did he sound like a love sick fool? He snorted and turned his gaze away. Seeing this Li Yue became more and more confused. Why did this man suddenly become so hard to understand?
"Did something happen?" She couldn’t help but ask. Did she do something to warrant this kind of behavior? When Mo Li didn’t answer her, Li Yue immediately turned silent. For some reason, she could feel some hate radiate from Mo Li’s body. Why did he hate her so much?
After a few minutes of contemplating, she concluded that it was because saving her was the reason they were in this current situation. The man must have hated saving her from the bear! That was the only explanation that she could come up with!
