Xiang Nanqian and Xiaohan were in the kitchen when Mu Tongrui entered. Xiang Nanqian smiled at her and greeted, “Tongrui, morning.”

“Morning, Sister-in-law.”

Mu Tongrui took a clean glass and was about to pour herself a drink when Xiang Nanqian stopped her, “That was water from last night. It is not good for your body to drink such staple water. Let me pour you a glass of water which I just boiled.”

Mu Tongrui was flattered, “Thanks.”

Mu Tongrui turned to leave with the glass in her hand after Xiang Nanqian poured her the drink, when she suddenly felt a push on her back. The water in her glass spilled all over Xiaohan's hands.

“Ah.... voodoo...ah! So painful!”

Xiaohan burst into tears after he was scalded by the piping hot water.

Fu Lingye rushed into the kitchen, his brows knitted when he heard Xiaohan's sobs, “What happened?”

Fu Lingye noticed the almost empty glass in Mu Tongrui's hands and the steam that was still emitting from the glass.

Xiang Nanqian immediately carried Xiaohan in her arms, and put his little hands under the cool running water from the tap. She bellowed at Mu Tongrui, “Tongrui, I know you dislike me but Xiaohan is only 5 years old. How can you be so cruel? That was boiling hot water!”

Mu Tongrui was stunned and could not react in time. She could only register the angry words from Xiang Nanqian.

Xiang Nanqian's eyes were red when she pleaded with Fu Lingye, “Lingye, please send Xiaohan to the hospital okay? Otherwise, his hands will be covered with blisters.”

Fu Lingye glanced over at Mu Tongrui. Biting her lips, Mu Tongrui met his gaze and tried to explain, “Fu Lingye, I...”

Before she could finish, he had turned to take an ice pack from the fridge and lay it on Xiaohan's hands. He replied coldly, “I will send you both to the hospital now.”

Mu Tongrui looked at Fu Lingye and Xiang Nanqian leaving the house swiftly with the injured Xiaohan.

Apparently, Fu Lingye did not bother to listen to her explanation and had believed Xiang Nanqian unconditionally.

She started to feel jealous.
