Fortunately, Xiao Yan had said those things just before Mu Qiaoyin left.
If Xiao Yan had said that in Mu Qiaoyin's presence, Ye Qingci thought, she definitely wouldn't have been able to resist slapping Mu Qiaoyin again.
Mu Qiaoyin had almost drowned in the ocean, and it was she who ordered Qian Yuan to go in and save her.
But as a result, Qian Yuan was falsely accused and slandered by Mu Qiaoyin, who claimed he had taken liberties with her. Just thinking about it made Ye Qingci boil with anger.
Qian Yuan had suffered enough already.
He was honest, loyal, and dependable, qualities Ye Qingci genuinely appreciated about him.
He saved Mu Qiaoyin from drowning, yet not only did he not receive a single word of thanks, but he also got slapped by her and called a "slave."
How heartbroken must Qian Yuan have been?
The Jian family crest branded on his back was meant to save his life—it was a last resort. But now, in Qian Yuan's heart, could it have become a mark of shame?
