If We Cannot Grow Old Together

Proofread by Zhou Zhijie

Hearing the suddenly accelerated ticking, Mu Ziyou feels that her heart comes to follow the same beating speed. Gritting her teeth, she directly rushes to the car with no more redundant words.

“Haha, there are still a few minutes before the explosion. Do you choose to sit in and die with your son or watch him die standing outside?” At this moment, Xia Wanyan utters a low laughter at Mu Ziyou’s ears, holding the car key in her hand.

Mu Ziyou sees Pudding on the back seat from the window. Her son instantly stops crying the moment they look into each other’s eyes.

“I want to get in the car!” Her heart tightens and hurts.

Xia agrees instantly and opens the door quickly to let her in.

Only after Mu gets into the car is she finally aware of something wrong. It isn’t a bomb but a normal firecracker! It wouldn’t explode with no one lighting it up! And the stopwatch is just a simple timer. Therefore, nothing will happen even if time is up!This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

She should have thought of it. Xia Wanyan hasn’t contacted her family for several days. Where could she have got a bomb?

Then, Mu Ziyou catches a faint smell in the car. It is poison gas!

No wonder his son cries so hard. It’s mainly caused by the pungent smell!

“Xia Wanyan! Are you crazy? What benefit can you get by killing us two?” She knocks at the window hard, glaring hard at Xia who is watching outside.

But Xia has made the car an airtight space so she can’t hear what Mu is saying. Xia just slowly moves her lips to the direction of Mu, seemingly to let her know with the lip-language, “Mu Ziyou, you should have been dead, haven’t you?”

Because her lips move very slowly, Mu gets her meaning easily.

Xia Wanyan doesn’t want to die together with her at all. She has just tricked her and her son into disappearing from the world together!

With his mother by his side, Pudding becomes like a little adult, no more crying. He even reaches out his chubby hands to give his mother a loving hug.

Mu Ziyou can’t help bursting into tears. She holds Pudding tightly in her arms, feeling drowsy because of the poison gas and seeing everything with blurred shadows. It seems that a black person runs this way and pushes Xia Wanyan to the ground…

“Youyou, wake up! Don’t sleep! Mu Ziyou!” It is Li Quashing who has just arrived. He anxiously knocks at the window, wishing to break the glass with his bare hands.

Xia Wanyan doesn’t run away immediately. She stands by and watches this scene coldly. She just wants to see how can Qiaosheng save the them from the car!

Li Qiaosheng knows that he can only break the glass of the car window with some sharp object. So he calms down and looks around, quickly focuses her targets on Xia.

“Qiaosheng darling, I can save them if you promise to stay with me forever. Isn’t Pudding that man’s son? You leave three of them together, and we two will be happy together for the rest of our lives. Isn’t that perfect?”

Xia Wanyan sees the man staring hard at her, mistakenly thinking that he is going to take the car key hidden on her.

But Li’s smile quickly colds down, staring at Xia with the eyes seeming to be mixed with poison which is able to kill her! He has disdained hitting a woman, but in this case he could not help shooting a kick at her heavily!

The moment Xia Wanyan’s high heels fall off her feet, the man quickly jumps up to them. He then rushes back to the car and tries to smash the window with the high-heeled shoe.

This time, a small hole soon appears in the window glass. Then he throws away the high heel and makes the hole bigger with his fist. Finally the hole is wide enough to let a man into the car!

The gas in the car also pours out. Mu Ziyou feels her breathing a little smoother, but her whole body has become limp. Even in such a condition, she still holds her hands firmly to Pudding and lets his head rest on her breast to make him draw in less noxious fumes.

Li’s two fists are still dripping blood, but he can’t care much now. The most important thing is to get Mu Ziyou and her son out!

“Muziyou, Li Qiaosheng, it’s you who forced me! It’s all because of you!”

At this moment, Xia Wanyan has gone completely out of her mind. Out of nowhere, she gets a firecracker in her hand, which is already lighted. With a sinister smile, she throws it to them without hesitation—
