Based on the situation in the room earlier, Ming Yuqian sensed something was wrong.
Ming Yutong wasn't there, and it was easy to suspect her in Ming Silian and Jiang Lulian's situation
So, he had to stand up and say something.
Whether Ming Yutong did it or not, she had to be cleared of any suspicion.
Now that the family had left, Ming Yuqian began to worry about Ming Yutong.
Where did she go?
Ming Yutong wasn't the kind of person who would leave without saying anything.
At this moment, Alpha Guard 1 came over, "Miss Ming is with the master."
"Who is your master?" Ming Yuqian asked in a low voice, and seeing Alpha Guard 1's attire, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Fu Yinxiu?"
Alpha Guard 1 remained silent.
"Where is she! Where did Fu Yinxiu take her!" Ming Yuqian demanded immediately.
Alpha Guard 1 didn't speak and stood at the door with Alpha Guard 2, like two guardian deities.
Ming Yuqian understood, and stepped forward to pound on the door, but Alpha Guard 1 and Alpha Guard 2 both extended their hands to stop him.
"Fu Yinxiu!" Ming Yuqian called out, "Come out!.
He didn't dare to directly call out Ming Yutong's name. People here knew him, and even if he just said "sister," it would expose Ming Yutong's identity.
Ming Yutong's previously lifeless face finally showed a reaction when she heard Ming Yuqian's voice outside the door.
She looked at Fu Yinxiu coldly, "Can I go out now?"
Fu Yinxiu, for some reason, couldn't control himself and released his grip.
Ming Yutong didn't even glance at him, her face devoid of any expression.
At this moment, Fu Yinxiu wished she would at least give him her usual mocking smile.
But there was nothing.
It felt as if he had been completely driven out of her heart.
Fu Yinxiu frowned and followed her. Ming Yutong was shivering with cold, her teeth chattering.
She turned the door handle and walked out.
Seeing Ming Yutong in such a state, Ming Yuqian's face changed dramatically. He immediately stepped forward and caught her before she fell.
Fu Yinshu frowned and instinctively reached out as Ming Yutong's knees buckled.
But, Ming Yutong still fell into Ming Yuqian's arms.
He knew she did it on purpose.
She didn't want him to touch her.
"Sister!" Ming Yuqian called softly, feeling the coldness of her clothes. He quickly took off his jacket and covered her with it.
"It's terrible, always letting you see your sister at her most wretched moments," Ming Yutong said through chattering teeth.
Seven years ago, she let him see her as a madwoman.
Now, she let him see her like a dead person.
"Why say such things!" Ming Yuqian immediately picked Ming Yutong up horizontally.
He knew about Ming Yutong's health issues and knew she always took care of herself.
He didn't know what had happened inside, but seeing Ming Yutong pale and trembling, Ming Yuqian's heart ached, wishing he could take her place and suffer instead.
Her health was so poor. Over the past seven years, he had witnessed firsthand the immense pain she endured, unable to live as she pleased.
She had barely started to improve, but this cold exposure today would likely set her back to square one.
Ming Yuqian's eyes reddened with anger. "Fu Yinxiu, you left before, so don't come back! She doesn't owe you anything. How dare you hurt her like this! You're not even worthy to appear in front of her!"
Ming Yutong knew that if Ming Yuqian wasn't holding her, he would have fought Fu Yinxiu.
She tugged at his shirt, whispering through trembling lips, "Yuqian, I'm very cold."
Ming Yuqian redirected his anger from Fu Yinxiu, looking down at Ming Yutong. "Hold on a bit longer. I'll take you home right away."
With that, Ming Yuqian carried her out.
"What do you mean?" Fu Yinshu asked from behind.
Ming Yuqian ignored him, continuing to walk forward. Alpha Guard 1 and Alpha Guard 2 looked at Fu Yinxiu, silently asking if they should stop him.
Fu Yinxiu hesitated before shaking his head.
Ming Yutong wasn't feeling well, and stopping her would only make her feel worse.
So, Alpha Guard 1 and Alpha Guard 2 stayed put, watching as Ming Yuqian took Ming Yutong away.
Ming Yuqian informed the hotel staff of their departure. Given Ming Yutong's connection with Chu Zhaoyang, the other families of the Eight Great Families were also kind to her.
At this moment, Qi Chenglin personally arranged for Ming Yutong to use a VIP passageway, ensuring she wouldn't be seen in her disheveled state.
Seeing Ming Yutong's condition, Qi Chenglin frowned slightly but didn't ask questions. He simply said, "If you need any help, just let us know."
Ming Yuqian nodded in thanks.
However, this was a matter between Ming Yutong and Fu Yinxiu, so he didn't elaborate.
***
Ming Yuqian didn't take Ming Yutong back to her house but brought her to his own.
Given her current state, Ming Yuqian didn't feel safe leaving her alone at home.
His house had a housekeeper, so it would be easier to assist her if needed.
Carrying Ming Yutong inside, he startled Aunt Liu. "What happened to Miss?"
"She was exposed to cold water. Aunt Liu, please help my sister take a hot bath to drive away the cold," Ming Yuqian said.
Aunt Liu was very familiar with Ming Yutong, who often visited Ming Yuqian.
She also knew about Ming Yutong's health issues.
Ming Yuqian carefully handed Aunt Liu a list of things Ming Yutong should avoid, ensuring she was aware.
Whenever Ming Yutong visited, Aunt Liu was to make sure she didn't come into contact with anything on the list.
