The crisp sound of the school bell rang.
Xin Yu instantly felt the world was quiet!
But why was Gao Min still sitting next to her, and that boy with acne…?
Never mind, focus on the lesson. Xin Yu tried her best to keep her eyes straight ahead, focusing all her attention on the teacher at the podium.
Looking down to take notes, Xin Yu noticed a note on her notebook. She glanced at Gao Min.
Gao Min was looking at the blackboard, but her raised eyebrows betrayed her connection to the note.
Xin Yu set the note aside, ignoring it, and continued taking notes diligently.
A moment later, she noticed another note. Suddenly, her anger flared!
This is too much!
Xin Yu glared at Gao Min, only to see the boy with acne grinning at her.
She couldn't notice anything else. In that instant when she turned around, Xin Yu had already seen a figure flash past the doorway—
Mu Feng?
What was he doing here? Sent by Mu Yichuan? To spy on her?
That bastard Mu Yichuan!
Xin Yu was genuinely unsure of herself and didn't dare to have high hopes for Mu Yichuan's character and conduct.
She secretly glanced at the time and at the teacher speaking eloquently on the podium. Xin Yu felt guilty, but to avoid the blatant provocation and ridicule from Gao Min and her classmates, she decided to leave first.
Wait, she remembered someone sitting to her left earlier?
She hadn't expected someone to leave before her. That was fine; it saved her from bothering them to make way!
Ignoring Gao Min's somewhat surprised look, Xin Yu grabbed her bag and left the classroom through the back door, practically running downstairs.
She looked back as she ran; someone was chasing her! It really was Mu Feng…
Xin Yu stopped, hiding behind a pillar, panting heavily. This was the last straw!
She swung her bag, gathering all her strength, and smashed it down on the person who had followed her…
"Ugh!" A low, muffled sound, tinged with pain.
"Who sent you! Tell me! Was it Mu Yichuan! Why were you following me to class!" Xin Yu, disregarding everything, unleashed her fury.
"Stop!" The person who had been hit straightened up and grabbed Xin Yu's bag.
Xin Yu froze, staring blankly at the person in front of her. He… he wasn't… Mu Feng!
Oh my god! Where was Mu Feng?
Forgot to say "sorry," Xin Yu looked around for Mu Feng, but the corridor was empty, save for a few students studying, who were giving them strange looks.
"Who are you? Do you know anyone from the Mu family?" A cold voice pulled Xin Yu back to reality. "Ah!" Xin Yu quickly bowed, trying to show her sincerity. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I... I mistook you for someone else!"
"I'm asking you a question. Do you know anyone from the Mu family?"
Xin Yu straightened up and looked at the boy in front of her. He looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, tall and handsome, with a clean-cut air about him, and an air of nobility in his every move. But...
Why did he have a scar on his face?!
It was so clearly visible on his face, drastically cutting off half of his clean-cut and noble air!
Nan Yu's gaze darkened. Ignoring Xin Yu's lingering gaze on his scar, he spoke again, "I'm asking you if you know anyone from the Mu family!"
The Mu family?
Why was he so concerned about this? Xin Yu rolled her dark eyes, feigning composure as she shook her head. "N-no, I don't know them! What Mu family? They look like Tujia people—"
Nan Yu strode up to Xin Yu, startling her into taking a step back, her eyes blinking rapidly. "What are you doing?"
"Answer what you just said! You just said 'Mu Yichuan'!"
Xin Yu's lips twitched, swallowing her words. She dared not respond easily. Firstly, she didn't want anything to do with Mu Yichuan; secondly, although the boy in front of her didn't seem like a bad person, his tone suggested a deep-seated hatred for the Mu family.
Thump! She had nowhere to retreat, pressed against a pillar…
Nan Yu deliberately startled her, placing his hands on the pillar. Suddenly, the two faced each other in an extremely ambiguous position.
"I really don't know what you're talking about." Xin Yu forced herself to calm down, lowering her eyes thoughtfully, surveying the location of the stairs.
"Quite a liar." Nan Yu rolled his eyes. Xin Yu clenched her fist and pushed with all her might towards Nan Yu's chest, simultaneously unleashing a "Shadowless Kick"—a push and a stomp—followed by a swift turn, followed by an elbow strike to Nan Yu's chest.
"Ugh," Nan Yu groaned again. He had underestimated her!
He hadn't expected Xin Yu to have some skill!
Xin Yu, fleeing quickly, was secretly amazed; she actually knew a little bit of martial arts!
Running away, she chuckled, the pent-up anger in her chest almost completely dissipating…
However, she didn't know that Gao Min had secretly filmed the whole scene. A dark glint flashed in her eyes.
"Xin Yu, I'd like to see how you, famous throughout the school, will still be so aloof!" she said, turning and leaving.
Just as Nan Yu was about to take a step, he noticed a bag lying by a pillar. He picked it up and saw…
A limited edition Chanel! "She really is connected to the Mu family." Nan Yu glanced at the hiding figure and strode towards the exit of the teaching building.
When he caught up with Xin Yu, she was breathing heavily, completely unsuspecting.
"Stop!"
Xin Yu was startled and wanted to speak again.
"Your wallet."
Ah! Xin Yu turned around, cursing herself inwardly for not holding a grudge. What if it was a trap?
Fortunately, she saw that Nan Yu was indeed holding the wallet Mu Yichuan had given her, so she quickly reached for it.
Before she could retract her hand, Xin Yu's arm was grabbed.
It was her?
The rebellious woman she encountered during the interview!
She's from the Mu family! She doesn't look like a student!
How could she be at school!
"What's your relationship with Nan Yu?" The woman's grip remained firm, squeezing Xin Yu's wrist as if she wanted to break it.
"Nan Yu?" Xin Yu was a little confused, then looked at the scarred boy who had turned and left. "I…I don't know him!"
"Don't know him? Then why did he give you your wallet?"
"Uh…" Xin Yu thought sadly, what kind of luck is this? She must check the almanac before going out in the future. "I lost my wallet, and he kindly picked it up and returned it to me."
"Really?" Mu Yi'ai didn't quite believe it. Looking at Nan Yu walking away, she couldn't help but feel a bitter taste in her mouth.
Xin Yu saw that she seemed lost in thought, so she moved her wrist, wanting to remind her.
Unexpectedly, Mu Yi'ai not only didn't let go, but gripped it even tighter, pulling Xin Yu towards the school gate. "I'm Nan Yu's girlfriend. Since he helped you, you should repay me."
Ah…girlfriend? She really doesn't seem like it at all…
Repay her? What kind of logic is that?
Forced by Mu Yi'ai to a restaurant, she didn't order food, but directly ordered two bottles of fine red wine.
"I…I don't drink!" Xin Yu stared blankly at the wine. What was this woman trying to do? The Mu family really aren't normal people!
"Want me to get you drunk?" Mu Yi'ai stood up abruptly, exuding a wild aura.
Xin Yu was startled and quickly took a sip of her wine.
Mu Yi'ai smiled slyly and beckoned a waiter. "Waiter, keep an eye on her for me. I'm going to the restroom. If she leaves, no one will pay the bill."
Damn it…
Xin Yu glared fiercely at the crazed woman!
Knowing that troubling the waiter was useless, she put down her wine glass and sat there waiting.
Meanwhile, Mu Feng was on the phone with Mu Yichuan. "Mr. Jiu, Miss Xin Yu went drinking."
"Hmm?" Mu Yichuan's brows furrowed, and anger immediately flared.
"She was dragged there by Miss Ba."
"What?" Mu Yichuan's brows deepened. He asked for the address, got up, and walked out…
Xin Yu waited a long time, but Mu Yi'ai didn't return. Instead, an envelope arrived. "What's this?" she asked, puzzled. That arrogant woman from before would never do something like this.
The waiter was equally bewildered, only saying it was left by Mu Yi'ai, and shaking his head at any other questions.
Xin Yu felt the envelope from all sides, not understanding what it contained, so she finally opened it. Upon seeing what was inside, she instantly lost her composure!
She…how could…it was a condom…
Damn it! What was that woman Mu Yi'ai up to?!
"Miss, did you order me?" A man in a suit stood respectfully at the table.
Ordered…ordered him?
Xin Yu frowned, firmly refusing, "No, please leave!"
"But, Miss—"
"Who is he?!" A chilling question!
Xin Yu felt a rush of cold water wash over her, instantly sobering her up. Mu Yichuan was here!
"I don't know him!"
"This lady ordered me."
The two spoke simultaneously, and Mu Yichuan's face immediately darkened! "Get lost!"
The gigolo trembled in fear, not daring to say another word, nor asking for money, and ran away!
Leaving behind a restless and depressed Xin Yu, her mood sinking further, feeling suffocated...
Behind Mu Yichuan's neat black hair, his cold and resolute face was undeniably handsome, yet the chill emanating from him could freeze a person.
"No explanation?" Mu Yichuan's sharp eyes snapped open, his dark pupils shooting out a dazzling light that enveloped Xin Yu.
Xin Yu shuddered in fright and bit her lip.
Mu Yichuan noticed her cherry-reddened lips had become slightly redder and unconsciously swallowed. "Greedy?"
"You're the one who's greedy!" Xin Yu couldn't help but blurt out a curse.
This...
She really wanted to bite off her own tongue...
Before she could speak again, she noticed Mu Yichuan's face darken...
Oh my god! Xin Yu gasped, snatching the condom from his hand, but Mu Yichuan grabbed her wrist!
"The smallest size, you still want to keep it? So easily satisfied?" he sneered.
"..."
Xin Yu froze as if struck by lightning, staring blankly at Mu Yichuan, that bastard!
She'd been tricked by the Mu family!
She clenched her fists tightly, biting her lip hard, her fingertips and lips turning pale. Despite the humiliation and anger, her mind and heart were filled with...
the nights they'd spent together!
The cold, the chill, the pain as he penetrated her!
"What are you thinking!" Mu Yichuan seemed to see through her, pulling Xin Yu closer, his expression as menacing as a ferocious wolf. "Don't tell me you...wanted it?"
