Chapter 815 The Sister Who Was Shackled Because She Wasn't Sent Away (The End)
Behind them, a raging fire was burning.
In the distance, several cars are approaching.
It seemed someone was calling her name as they rushed into the fire.
Mu Zhou walked alone and disheveled towards the village.
She stopped a kind person and borrowed their phone to call Fu Ci.
Then, they waited quietly.
A dozen minutes later, Fu Ci appeared in front of Mu Zhou.
She raised her head.
The man who was known for remaining calm even in the face of a collapsing mountain was now in a state of utter panic and disarray.
His chest heaved violently, and after a moment, as if holding his breath, he slowly squatted down.
He reached out, his fingertips trembling slightly as he touched Mu Zhou's cheek.
It seems that only now did I realize she was real.
Then, he gently pulled Mu Zhou into his arms.
Mu Zhou leaned on his shoulder and noticed his trembling, which made her feel a little guilty.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
She hugged him back and comforted him softly.
Fu Ci didn't speak, but a moment later, Mu Zhou noticed a dampness seeping onto her shoulder.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and she hugged him even tighter.
Fu Ci quickly regained his composure, picked up Mu Zhou, and carried him back to the car.
As the car drove away, Mu Zhou couldn't help but say:
"The house over there is on fire, but Lin Xi is still there..."
Fu Ci held her hand and kissed it on the lips:
"Leave everything else to me, okay? You can rest for a bit."
Fu Ci's voice was gentle, concealing the bloody cruelty within.
He appeared to have fully recovered, but he was still suppressing his lingering fear and dread.
He was filled with remorse for causing Mu Zhou such a fright due to his negligence.
It would be best if Lin Xi burned to death; if she didn't, he would definitely help her.
Hearing him say that, Mu Zhou didn't say anything more, and leaned against him, closing her eyes.
I fell asleep and woke up in the middle of the night.
When she opened her eyes, she was somewhat disoriented by the time.
I checked my phone and realized it was the middle of the night.
She woke up from hunger.
Just as she was about to get up, the man beside her suddenly supported her waist:
"woke up?"
"Hmm, I'm a little hungry."
The desk lamp was turned on, and Mu Zhou, seeing no trace of the confusion of someone who had just woken up in Fu Ci's eyes, guessed:
"You haven't been sleeping at all, have you?"
"...Hmm, what would you like to eat? The kitchen has some prepared. Or is there anything you'd like to eat? I'll make it for you."
Seeing the tension in his eyes, Mu Zhou suddenly snuggled into his arms and hugged him tightly.
"Fu Ci, I'm really fine. This time it's not your fault. It was an accident. Please don't be like this."
Fu Ci seemed to be experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder, unable to sleep at all, and it appeared that he needed to stay by her side to feel at ease.
Fu Ci hugged her back and closed his eyes briefly:
"Okay, I'll adjust slowly. Let's eat first."
He easily changed the subject and led Mu Zhou to the restaurant.

Mu Zhou learned about Lin Xi and Shen Yan's fate the next day.
The media is reporting on it extensively.
The Mu family, which caused a stir online some time ago, had their adopted daughter, Lin Xi, who was actually their biological daughter, who then dragged her ex-fiancé into setting fire to their house and committing suicide together.
Information about Mu Zhou was concealed, and the public only knew that Lin Xi was so distraught over family matters that she dragged Shen Yan down with her.
Upon seeing the news that the two had died together in the fire, Mu Zhou lingered for two more seconds.
Lin Xi said that she could no longer distinguish right from wrong in this life, and that they would meet again in the next life.
But why?
She's suffered so much in her life, barely had a few good days, so why should she end her life with them?
After reading it, Mu Zhou closed the page.
Fu Ci came over.
Mu Zhou planned to rest at home for a few days, and Fu Ci also moved his work home.
He couldn't allow Mu Zhou to disappear from his sight for even a moment longer.
Mu Zhou could only try her best to comfort him.
Let's also discuss the wedding date.
Fu Ci has already proposed.
That same night after she was rescued.
As she finished eating and was about to go back to sleep, Fu Ci suddenly knelt in front of the bed and took out a diamond ring that he had prepared long ago.
The proposal was simple and unpretentious.
Seeing the bloodshot eyes and the barely visible tears in his eyes, Mu Zhou nodded in agreement.
So the wedding was naturally put on the agenda.
Fu Ci sat down next to her, and Mu Zhou instinctively snuggled into his arms.
"Do you think this wedding dress is beautiful? But it looks so elaborate, won't it be too heavy?"
"If you like this style, you can ask them to make it first and try it out. If it's too heavy, ask them to find a substitute."
Fu Ci's few words alleviated her worries, but she was still a little embarrassed:
"What if it turns out to be unsuitable? Wouldn't that be a waste?"
"What's the big deal? We only get married once, so I want everything to be to your liking."
Mu Zhou glanced at him, wondering when he had become so eloquent.
Fu Ci understood her look, smiled, grabbed her chin, and kissed her.
Which one should I wear?
Mu Zhou pushed him away and pointed to a design drawing:
"If I wear this, you should wear this too. Your dress should match my wedding dress."
Looking at her serious expression, Fu Ci felt a sudden surge of happiness welling up in his heart.
He liked what she said.
His suit followed her wedding dress in his choice.
No matter what choice she makes, he will always be the best fit for her.
Mu Zhou was unaware that his thoughts had wandered to this point. Just as he was about to ask for the location, he was suddenly pushed onto the sofa.
Fu Ci sucked on her lips, his voice ambiguous:
"These things aren't urgent; there are more pressing matters at hand..."
*
Mu Zhou was awakened by the cold.
She sat on the steps of the back garden, with laughter and cheerful voices coming from the large villa behind her.
In the previous world, Mu Zhou and Fu Ci's wedding was held in Kyoto.
After their marriage, they returned to Luoshi to live for a period of time.
After that, they moved back to Kyoto and stayed together until they grew old.
Mu Zhou snapped out of his thoughts.
Looking at the unfamiliar garden, she recalled the plot of this world.
The original owner's parents divorced when she was young, and each formed a new family. Everyone treated her as a burden.
After being transferred between various relatives for a period of time, she took the initiative to find the local welfare home and asked them to take her in.
Ultimately, she grew up in an orphanage.
Perhaps because of this upbringing, she was extremely lacking in love, and also exceptionally hardworking, cherishing everyone who was kind to her.
Later, she met a man who shared her plight.
The man's name was Xiang Ze, and he was also an orphan.
The two met unexpectedly, and the original owner saved him from unconsciousness.
As they spent more time together, they became a couple.
Xiang Ze has a gentle personality, and although he can be a little temperamental at times, the original owner always tolerates him.
Life can be considered happy.
Unfortunately, not long after, Xiang Ze fell seriously ill.
Treatment will cost a lot of money, but Xiang Ze has lost his ability to work.
Xiang Ze broke up with her.
However, the original owner, who was abandoned at a young age, could not bring himself to abandon him.
So she began to shoulder all the pressure alone.
She has a sales job, and after get off work she continues to work the night shift at a 24-hour convenience store.
I didn't get off work until 4 a.m., went home in the dark, slept for four hours, and then went back to work.
All in order to save money for Xiang Ze's medical treatment.
Xiang Ze broke up with him again, leaving him to fend for himself.
But the original owner was too kind and refused to agree no matter what.
until today.
In order to save enough money for surgery as soon as possible, she secretly took on another job as a food delivery driver and came to this villa area.
But here I saw that familiar figure.
