It was the next morning. The sun was shining.
Slightly opening her eyes, Murong Xue looked at the somewhat familiar roof, and the disconnected pieces of memory came flooding back. The last thing she remembered was Yang Feng taking her away.
But how come she woke up in Shangguan Mo’s bedroom?
Murong Xue was startled and jumped up from the bed. Although she did not see any traces, she could not recall what happened after that.
She felt alright. Did she just have a good sleep last night…?
Murong Xue ran to Shangguan Mo’s study and asked with some apprehension, “Shangguan Mo, last night, I…”
Looking at her coldly, Shangguan Mo still felt a gust of anger tumbling inside him. When he arrived there yesterday, he almost killed both Yang Feng and Murong Xue for that kind of scene at first. But after he kicked away that man and took a closer look, he found Murong Xue passed out.
Covering Murong Xue with
Ever since the birthday party, Murong Xue had been hiding from Yang Feng. It was not an affectation. She really did not know how to face him. She had already declined him when Yang Feng confessed his love to her, but what happened that night was totally unexpected. Not to mention the fact that Shangguan Mo was with her now, she did not want to start a relationship in this life at all.Did she care about that night? Sure, she was concerned. In fact, almost every woman would make it a big deal. However, Murong Xue, who was not as simple as she used to be in her last life, would not be desperate. She even found herself a little distorted now.Murong Xue decided to go to the Academic Affairs Office today. She did not want to while away her time on campus. School life was youthfully beautiful yet unsuitable for her. Besides, she felt increasingly small and overshadowed by Shangguan Mo as she spent more time with him. In this life, she wanted to be independent an
There were a few days before the International Stone Gambling Event. Murong Xue did not bring any luggage here, including clothes. Therefore, she decided to walk around and go shopping for some necessities.But what was about the two poker-faced men behind her? They followed her wherever she went.Murong Xue huffed and glared at them, “You don’t need to follow me. I want to do shopping by myself.”The men were poker-faced and answered, “Princess, it’s the Prince’s order.”Was it a must? Why did they call her Princess? Murong Xue felt very uncomfortable to hear it.Striding forward in high heels, Murong Xue walked towards the mall in a rage and did not care about how the people around looked at her. She did not know anyone here, so she just let it go.She stopped at an SDKU store to pick out a few dresses while the two poker-faced men stood outside, waiting.They were Shangguan Mo’s most outsta
Murong Xue picked up the food she bought and entered the kitchen. She was ready to cook some tasty dishes. She did not eat much in the restaurant before. Food from the Space was her preference.Seeing Murong Xue busy cooking, Shangguan Mo thought that he had hit the jackpot. Her dishes had made it difficult for him to agree with others’ cooking. He just wondered why this Miss from the Murong Family could be such a good chef.He closed the documents in his hands and walked to the door. His icy eyes fell upon Ye Feng and Ye Liu, “Tell me what happened today.”Breaking into a cold sweat, Ye Feng and Ye Liu didn’t dare to hide any detail from Shangguan Mo, including that Chu Yisen held Murong Xue’s hand to avoid cars when they crossed the street.It evoked a gust of anger inside Shangguan Mo and his eyes grew colder. D*mn. Why there were always people chasing his girl? The two useless men even could not get her rid of Chu Yisen. “Go an
Thinking of Chu Lingling out there, Murong Xue felt much better and smiled, "Yes. I saw your sister outside just now." She wondered why they did not get along at all and did not look alike, either.Surprised, Chu Yisen looked at her to make sure she was fine, "Are you okay? She is spoiled and bad-tempered. Just ignore her.""Aha, I'm alright. Speaking of this, shouldn’t you care about your sister first, Yisen?" Murong Xue raised a smile that dazzled people around, and Chu Yisen was no exception.Chu Yisen calmed himself down and spoke in an unsympathetic tone, "She is my half-sister. We haven't been in contacted with each other much. Anyway, if she goes after you again, call me. Okay?" He knew that Chu Lingling would seek revenge for the smallest grievance and she would not let Murong Xue get away with it.Seeing this, Ye Feng stepped forward to stand between Chu Yisen and Murong Xue and replied coldly, "We will protect Princess fr
Murong Xue woke up slowly, not knowing how long she had slept. She suddenly found that Shangguan Mo was lying beside her.As Murong Xue saw the dark circles under his eyes, she remained motionless and wanted to let him sleep a little longer. She quietly looked at his face and suddenly realized that she had never observed his face.Now she felt that he was quite good-looking and seemed to be mild and cute when he was silent. On second thought, she was shocked that she actually thought this man was cute. She must be confused. Shaking her head, Murong Xue was trying to lightly remove his hand on her waist.After the two dressed, they went downstairs to have a meal, and then Shangguan Mo left because he got something to do. Ye Feng was also called to deal with some problems. The venue was safe. No one dared to challenge the International Stone Gambling Assembly or cause trouble here, so Shangguan Mo could rest assured that he could leave Murong Xue
"All right. Let's go." Murong Xue said, figuring it was just a meal. As she was about to leave, she looked in the direction of Fang Shihua and found that he had left.Shangguan Lin ordered his men to put away the jade he'd just cut out and went towards the cafeteria with Murong Xue.After a while, Murong Xue found Shangguan Lin had walked past the cafeteria and towards the guest room. Her face fell. "Shangguan Lin, you said it was just a meal. Where are you going?" She asked with a suspicious look.Seeing her face change again and again, Shangguan Lin smiled. That silly girl always wore her heart on her sleeve! "What are you thinking? Didn't you say you would treat me to dinner? You were not talking about the junk food at the cafeteria?"Murong Xue paused. Where should they go except for the cafeteria?! She asked directly, "Where else could we go?""You can only show your sincerity if you cook in person. You're not unw
Ten days went by, and Murong Xue had not been heard of since then."Prince, have you forgotten the family meeting today?" Ye Feng asked with an anxious face. The family meeting was very important to Shangguan Mo as Shangguan Lin was seeking greater power and had many people backing him up. Ye Feng wanted him to hurry home as soon as possible.With the same clothes from a few days ago and the newly-grown beard, Shangguan Mo was very gaunt, who got very dark shadows under his eyes because of staying awake for several days. Seeing this, Ye Feng could not but help complaining about Murong Xue."Haven't heard from her yet?" Shangguan Mo rubbed his forehead."Prince, you're still thinking about her right now? You should leave for the family meeting now." Ye Feng could not understand why Shangguan Mo, who could have everything he wanted, was worrying about a woman."Shut up. She will be your Princess. Watch your words." Shang
Shangguan Zhi almost surprised. He could never stop worrying about him. “You should be careful. Don't be so impulsive! Take her home if you have time.”“I see, Grandpa!” Shangguan Mo nodded. “All right, Mo. You can go now if you're busy.” Shangguan Zhi waved as if he had been keeping flies away.As long as grandpa was not against it, the most important thing now was to find Xue first.Thinking of this, Shangguan Mo felt a twinge in his heart. He immediately went to the Underground City of the intelligence network in Shangguan Family to see whether he missed any clues. A living person couldn’t suddenly disappear. There must be something he missed.“Hey, Lin, the jade industry under your supervision is flourishing, but why don’t you join hands with your brother to manage our family? I’m getting on in years and I don’t have much time left. After I die, many people will keep a close watch on you two. If you don’t work tog
