Mu Yu was scared he would make a move on her. She struggled desperately and shouted, “Hey! Let go of me! I’ll bite my tongue off and die if you don’t!”
The next moment, Qin Jinhuan intended to let her go, but taunted her nevertheless. “Do you have anything else to threaten me with other than biting your tongue? Kiss me maybe?”
“Bah! You’re insane! Shameless man!” Mu Yu opened the door angrily.
“Are you planning to walk home?”
“This is none of your business!” Mu Yu wanted to walk out of the door. However, she felt that something was wrong. She quickly turned around and walked back into the room.
Qin Jinhuan was changing his clothes. He didn’t even shy away when he saw her walking back into the room. Instead, he smirked at her and said, “What is it? Miss me already?”
Mu Yu didn’t dare to talk back to him. She took her bag and ran out of the hotel to her scooter. Riding as fast as she could, she managed to reach home within a short time.
It was already nine o’ clock at night, but her parents were already in bed. They had a habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Hungry, Mu Yu went into the kitchen to find something to eat and returned to her room.
She took out her notebook and scolded as she drew five circles on the summon card.
She had seen a lot of shameless people, but this was her first time meeting someone as shameless as that wily old fox!
Her head ached terribly at the thought of the remaining 19 summon cards.
If soul exchange was possible, she was really willing to become Wen and let Wen replace her to deal with that wily old fox who always had something up his sleeves.
Sigh! No way! What if Wen got intimate with that wily old fox using her body?
That’d be disgusting!
Mu Yu thumped her bed angrily, mourning the stolen first kiss.
That was so annoying!
“Yu? Are you back?”
She heard her mother’s voice in the dark. Knowing that she had thumped her bed too loudly, Mu Yu quickly replied, “Yes, I was just about to fall asleep.”
“Oh, sleep early then. Well, don’t go to the wedding tomorrow if you’re too busy with your work.”
Only then did Mu Yu remember that tomorrow was Xin Yihan and Yin Xiaotian’s big day. With a pang in her heart, she said throatily, “I’m not that busy tomorrow. At noon, I will go there straight from work.”
This was something that she has been reluctant to face.
Yet, she didn't want to run away from it. She knew that running from it was no use. She had to face the music.
Sister Xiaotian was beautiful, gentle, and competent. Brother Yihan must be very happy with her. Didn’t she just want to see Brother Yihan happy?
Thinking of this, she felt so much better. Despite that, she couldn’t sleep that whole night as tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.
The next day at work, Mu Yu couldn’t focus on her work because she kept thinking of the wedding that afternoon. Moreover, all day, she was alone with Feng Rubing in the Forensic Lab. Feng Rubing had always been an introvert that never asked about her private life.
When she finally got off work, she rode her scooter to Xin Yihan and Yin Xiaotian’s wedding, which was held on the second floor of the Grand Hotel.
By the time she arrived, Xin Yihan was in a tuxedo, holding Yin Xiaotian. Yin Xiaotian was in a white wedding dress. They walked together romantically toward the stage. As they turned around, the happy smiles on their faces made her eyes prick. Her heart ached and there was a ringing in her ears. She didn’t pay attention to what the emcee nor Xin Yihan were saying on stage.
From today onward, the man that she loved had become someone else’s husband. She could no longer love him.
The ringtone of her phone interrupted her moment of sadness. She lowered her head and saw that it was Qin Jinhuan calling. She ended the call without another thought. Then, in order to avoid him bothering her, she muted her phone and returned her attention to the couple on stage as she stared absent-mindedly.
“Yu, come and sit with me.”
Her father tugged her away and only then did Mu Yu realize that all the guests were looking at her. She realized that she had lost control of herself. Then, she saw her mother sitting nearby and looking at her sullenly. Astonished, she quickly wiped her tears and went with her father.
She had purposely come to the wedding only after work, because she just didn’t want to see Xin Yihan and Yin Xiaotian lovey-dovey on stage. She didn’t expect to see that happy moment of theirs, and because of this, she couldn’t control her emotions.
Sigh!
“Is this your daughter?” a guest at the table asked her father—Mu Ziyao— with a smile as Mu Yu sat down.
“Yes,” Mu Ziyao replied as he offered his daughter his seat and asked the waiter to add another chair.
“She’s so emotional here at Mr. Xin’s wedding. Was she close to Mr. Xin?” The man purposely emphasized the word ‘emotional’ and the other guests at the table chuckled knowingly.
Knowing that she had embarrassed her parents, Mu Yu kept her head bowed, afraid that her mother would be furious at her.
“Uncle Mu, Aunty Mu, Yu, you’re all here.”
Mu Yu couldn’t help but tremble at the sound of Xin Yihan’s voice. When she raised her head, she saw that Xin Yihan and Yin Xiaotian had their glasses raised and were standing in front of her. Once again, she stared at Xin Yihan—his deep and charming eyes, his talkative lips, the dimples at the corner of his mouth that always had her enticed.
Hu Meiling tugged the corner of her daughter’s clothes and raised her glass. “Let’s toast the newlyweds. May they grow old together and be blessed with children.”
Mu Yu withdrew her gaze from him after her mother’s warning. She didn’t face Xin Yihan. Looking at her mother’s glass that was touching her mother's lips from the corner of her eyes, she hurriedly mimicked her mother and held the glass in front of her, drinking the wine in one gulp.
“Yu!” Only half a glass of wine was left when Mu Ziyao snatched the glass from his daughter.
There was a burning sensation in her stomach. Mu Yu knew something was wrong. Then, she remembered that she was sitting at her father’s table. She had mistaken the glass of liquor to be a glass of water! Once again, everyone stared at her as if they were waiting for her to make a fool out of herself. She wished so hard for a hole to bury herself in it.
She had always had low alcohol tolerance. As she panicked, her stomach churned and her face paled in pain.
“Yu, how are you feeling?” Hu Meiling and Mu Ziyao nervously supported her and asked anxiously from the side. Even Xin Yihan and Yin Xiaotian were looking at her anxiously.
“I’m fine, I…” Mu Yu wanted to put on a brave face, but a wave of nausea hit her before she could finish her sentence. She covered her mouth and ran toward the bathroom. After a few steps, she couldn’t hold it anymore and crouched at a corner to vomit. Her vomit was all liquid. Her stomach was empty but for that half glass of liquor.
“Yu!”
Xin Yihan, Yin Xiaotian, Hu Meiling and Mu Ziyao were all worried and stepped forward.
At this moment, a man grabbed Mu Yu before they could reach her.
“Baby, how are you? Are you okay?” the man embraced her and asked with a concerned voice.
Mu Yu was stunned when she recognized Qin Jinhuan’s voice. She had no intention of knowing why he was here. All she wanted was to avoid getting intimate with this wily old fox, so she instinctively pushed him away.
“Alright, don’t be angry. Am I not here?” Qin Jinhuan held her shoulder tightly with one arm and produced a tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth with the other hand. His voice and actions were extremely gentle.
The emotional scene shocked everyone present. Then, people began to whisper. Most of the guests knew Qin Jinhuan. Despite his fair share of scandals, he had never behaved so gently and kindly to a woman in public before.
Mu Yu thought she was hallucinating from the influence of alcohol. She shook her head vigorously. Then, she stared at Qin Jinhuan. “Hello, Mr. Qin.” Yin Xiaotian, who was an employee of the Qing Tian Group, hurried over to greet Qin Jinhuan. Qin Jinhuan carefully helped Mu Yu to her feet and nodded slightly at Yin Xiaotian as he explained, “Something happened at the company, that’s why I couldn’t make it in time to your wedding with Yu. My apologies.” Before Yin Xiaotian—who was in shock—could reply, he turned back to Mu Yu and scolded her softly, “You know I’ll get worried if you deliberately drank liquor as if you’re drinking water. You always do as you like.” It sounded like a scolding but underneath it was sympathy and care. The crowd turned wild again. The gaze they cast on Mu Yu had turned into envy and jealousy. “Yu? You guys…” Hu Meiling’s voice was filled with surprise.
A few days ago, Qin Jinhuan’s father, Qin Wentao, went to visit his grandfather behind Qin Jinhuan’s back. Qin Wentao took advantage of the grandfather’s delirium and forced the grandfather to change his will. When Qin Jinhuan received the news, he rushed home and saw that his poor grandfather was forced onto the table. He was so furious that he wanted to beat his inhumane father up. He would have done so if Qin Wentao hadn’t fled the scene. “Boss, the Old Master is clear-headed now. Moreover, he had brought Master Xi with him, so he wouldn’t cross the line,” Huang Bo quickly followed after Qin Jinhuan and said softly. “They have come to pay their respects to the Mistress.”Master Xi, or Qin Chengxi, was Qin Jinhuan’s half-brother. Although he was already twenty-year-old, he looked like a weak young girl of sixteen to seventeen-year-old because he was constantly falling sick from a young age. He couldn't handle external stimuli well. Everybody knew Qin Wen
Hu Meiling grabbed Mu Yu’s arm and scolded, “Stop pretending and tell me honestly. Don’t you dare tell another lie, otherwise I will immediately drown you in the toilet!” “Don’t do that. You’re scaring your daughter. Talk nicely.” Mu Ziyao ‘rescued’ his daughter from his wife’s grip. Then, he pointed at the screen of the phone and asked, “Yu, are the contents here true?”Aware that she could no longer hide, Mu Yu nodded and quickly explained, “We did stay in the hotel, but our relationship is not as complicated as what the news is suggesting. Nothing happened between us. It’s true!”“You are both single and stayed in the same room for so long. You were even drunk. When you came out of the hotel, your clothes had even been changed. Nothing happened, you said? Unless you prove to me that Young Master Qin isn’t a real man, I will never believe that nothing happened.” Hu Meiling looked at her as if she could already see through Mu Yu’s façade.
“Yu, we’re here!”Even before she reached the entrance of her neighborhood, Mu Yu could already hear her parents’ shouts. She saw them standing in front of a taxi and rode her scooter toward them, asking anxiously in a loud voice, “Dad, Mom, what’s wrong?”“Get into the car first.”Mu Ziyao helped Mu Yu park her scooter while Hu Meiling helped Mu Yu to remove her helmet. They moved quickly and stuffed Mu Yu into the car at a speed of lightning. “What the hell is going on?” Mu Yu was shocked by her parents’ nervousness. Hu Meiling didn’t respond to her daughter’s words. Instead, she told the driver, “Sir, to the airport.”“Why are we going to the airport?”Mu Ziyao said softly, “Yu, we have to leave An City immediately.” Mu Yu was shocked and nervous. “Why are we leaving An City? What is going on?”Hu Meiling looked forward and lowered her voice. “This is what the O
“What-What debt?” Hu Meiling and Mu Ziyao looked at their daughter in fear. Mu Yu mumbled as she explained, “I scratched his car and owed him 100,000 for repair.”“100,000, is it?” Mu Ziyao heaved a long sigh and said with a smile. “Young Master Qin, give me your bank account number. I’ll transfer the money to you immediately.”“I don’t need the money, may it be 100,000 or it’s 20,000,000.” Qin Jinhuan paused and looked at Hu Meiling and Mu Ziyao, who had changed the looks on their faces. Then, he pointed at Mu Yu and continued, “I need only her.”Hu Meiling’ eyes instantly filled with fear and she quickly took an envelope from her bag and handed it to him. She begged, “Please take mercy on her and let my daughter go. I’ll pay you back with this 20,000,000.”“20,000,000 dollars?” Mu Yu’s eyes bulged. “Mom, where did you get that money from?”Mu Ziyao was ashamed. He said, “Aren’t we leaving An City? This
Fearing that Qin Xiaozhi’s men would lay their hands on her, Mu Yu quickly got to her feet. She shouted, “Don’t come over!” as she quietly whipped out her phone to call Qin Jinhuan for help. However, as soon as she took her phone out, Dong Wanqing slapped her hand and the phone fell onto the ground. At the same time, Dong Wanqing slapped her face and her face burned with pain. She had never been through this kind of misery before, had she? She felt so angry that she instinctively raised her hand to fight back, but was too slow. Qi Hao and Qi Han—Qi Xiaozhi’s twin bodyguards—caught her hands, but she raised her leg and tried to kick Dong Wanqing’s stomach. If you don’t offend me, I won’t offend you. But if you offend me, I’ll give you a taste of your own medicine. She always remembered what Brother Yihan had taught her. However, things didn’t go her way. Once she raised her leg, the twins saw thr
“Are you saying that I can’t?” Qin Jinhuan gave her an evil smirk and leaned toward her. “Do you want to try?” “What nonsense are you talking about?” Mu Yu blushed and exclaimed. “I was talking about the disagreeable clauses here! Look at this clause!” She pointed at the agreement and continued, “I don’t have any opinion against being intimate in public, but why do we have to sleep on the same bed at night? Nobody will see where we’re sleeping at night! Don’t tell me you still need your grandpa to tuck you in at night?” He could hear the teasing in her voice. Qin Jinhuan wasn’t angry. Instead, he asked slowly, “Do you know why Grandpa changed his mind and let you stay?” “Because you wanted to leave with me. He couldn’t bear to see you leave, so he let me stay.” “No.” “No? Then why did he?”“He let you stay in order to verify if we have a real relationship, other than t
How despicable! How dare he take advantage of me again?! Mu Yu was embarrassed and annoyed. She tried to break free of him but couldn’t. So, she bit his lips and stared into his big eyes with anger. The pain made Qin Jinhuan knot his eyebrows. However, he never left her lips. Looking into her eyes, he moved her body slightly and darted his eyes around. Through his hint, Mu Yu finally caught a glimpse of Dong Wanqing and understood what his intentions were. Despite that, she still wasn’t going to forgive the fact that he took advantage of her. So, she didn’t follow through with the performance and pushed him away instead. She pretended to be shocked to learn that Dong Wanqing was standing at the door. Then, she ‘shyly’ buried her head in his chest and pouted. “Hey, you are so annoying. The door isn’t even closed.” At the same time, she put her hand on his waist, gave him a hard pinch, and felt his body tremble sligh
