Xin Yu felt a surge of warmth in her heart, then immediately felt incredibly foolish for coming to the hospital to cry!
She had just left the mall and happened to see the hospital in the distance; on a whim, she came in…
Now, looking at the concerned Grandma Qiu, how was she supposed to answer?
"Grandma, I'm fine!" Xin Yu grasped Grandma Qiu's hand in return. "It's just… I haven't been sleeping well these past few days."
"You silly girl, your grandpa is fine. It's you who should rest if you're tired." Grandma Qiu said, pulling Xin Yu towards the door, then stopped, glaring at Qiu Zhi. "You brat, take us home."
"No, no need!" Xin Yu was extremely embarrassed. Coming to the hospital was already a disturbance; how could she have the face to go home and bother them?
"What do you mean no need!" Grandma Qiu pulled Xin Yu along. "Grandma made you a new medical manual; it has the content you wanted to learn last time."
Xin Yu looked at the sprightly old woman in surprise. She possessed a drive and enthusiasm that even young people lacked! It's impossible not to admire him!
"Let's go!" Grandma Qiu said forcefully, pointing to her grandson. Why is he so clueless?!
However, as soon as they stepped out of the elevator, two rows of men in black stood in straight lines on either side, and Mu Yichuan strode over.
He stared coldly at Xin Yu…
Her recently calmed emotions surged again. Why is he here?
"Mr. Jiu, what brings you here?" Grandma Qiu wasn't intimidated by Mu Yichuan's aura, but she was somewhat puzzled.
"Just came to see." He was still staring at Xin Yu's swollen eyes. Had she been crying?
Grandma Qiu felt a little helpless. It seemed she couldn't persuade her grandson again. "Azhi, you stay with Mr. Jiu. My daughter and I will go back first."
Seeing that Xin Yu didn't even respond, Mu Yichuan's brows furrowed instantly!
This woman… all the lessons he'd taught her these past few days were wasted!
"What? Did you offend the little girl?" Qiu Zhi asked curiously as he watched them walk away.
Mu Yichuan glared at him. "Why is she crying?"
"I was about to ask you that!" Qiu Zhi crossed his arms, his peach blossom eyes gleaming. "She looks like you've broken her heart!"
"..." Mu Yichuan's deep eyes flashed coldly. Could it be that she doesn't like diamond earrings?
"Mr. Jiu, you didn't happen to have some 'peach blossom luck' and the little girl found out, did you?" Qiu Zhi rubbed his nose. "You know, women are the most troublesome; they love to be jealous."
"What 'peach blossom luck'?"
"All sorts of women who want to pounce on you!" Qiu Zhi fearlessly gave the most straightforward explanation.
Mu Yichuan's thick eyebrows furrowed. "If you don't like her, just say so, and I'll kick her out!"
"Huh?" Qiu Zhi's peach blossom eyes widened, gleaming with a strange light, as if he had discovered a new continent. "There really is another woman!"
Good heavens!
Has their Ninth Brother finally come to his senses?
Not only is he suddenly so fond of the little girl, but a new woman has appeared! "My elder brother entrusted it to me."
"The eldest master?!" Qiu Zhi was even more surprised. "Why doesn't he take care of her himself?"
Mu Yichuan didn't answer. Wouldn't it be more proactive to control some people and things?
"No wonder the little girl looked like that!" Qiu Zhi didn't press further. Besides Mu Yichuan, he didn't want to have much contact with the rest of the Mu family. "Where is that woman?"
"Nanlong Villa."
Damn! He brought her home! Qiu Zhi cursed.
"No wonder she ran here crying." Qiu Zhi shook his head. His ninth brother really didn't understand women at all.
"Is there a problem?" Mu Yichuan glanced at Qiu Zhi sideways and asked coldly.
Qiu Zhi touched his nose. Could he tell the truth?
"Mu Yi'ai is also at Nanlong Villa."
Pfft—
Qiu Zhi couldn't help but spit out his saliva! "That woman offended you?" Qiu Zhi's eyes gleamed with amusement and excitement. "You actually let her be with Mu Yi'ai?!"
"Too noisy." He spoke arrogantly. No one could compare to Xin Yu's quietness and serenity, her cleverness, and, well, her deliciousness.
Thinking this, Mu Yichuan strode off first.
"Hey, Ninth Brother, you're leaving already?"
"Otherwise?"
Not planning to think of a way to salvage the situation?
"To your house."
"
When the two men arrived at the Qiu family villa, Xin Yu had already changed into casual clothes and was sitting on the soft carpet in the living room, reading a medical text with Grandma Qiu.
Her waterfall-like black hair cascaded to one side. Xin Yu tilted her head, lightly biting the tip of her pen, intently reading the book, occasionally making a few marks.
Mu Yichuan looked at the serene woman, his Adam's apple bobbing.
"Grandma, what does 'treating skin with skin' mean?" Xin Yu emphasized a mark in the book. "I see it mentions many kinds of medicinal herbs. Does that mean I can get rid of the scars on my face without skin grafts?" Xin Yu looked up at Grandma Qiu, but caught a glimpse of Mu Yichuan out of the corner of her eye, and she instinctively flinched.
Because anyone could guess Nan Yu's face from her earlier question.
And he, clearly, had guessed it too, his face noticeably dark.
However, Xin Yu was determined to ignore Mu Yichuan, so she looked at Grandma Qiu with a half-pleading expression, "Grandma, I... I'm a little tired. We have to leave for military training tomorrow afternoon. I was wondering if I could go and rest first? I'll take a picture of the pharmacopoeia when I get back, and I'll study it during the training."
"Of course! Grandma isn't a capitalist!" Grandma Qiu patted Xin Yu's head affectionately. "Learning things isn't something that can be rushed. But I just saw you, and you're already off again!"
"I'll call Grandma every day, okay?" Xin Yu closed the pharmacopoeia, took Grandma Qiu's arm, and pouted slightly, acting coquettishly.
Mu Yichuan was taken aback, his dark eyes deepening.
She had never acted so coquettishly towards him before!
Having gained Grandma Qiu's approval, Xin Yu ran upstairs.
"A-Zhi! What are you doing standing here with Mr. Jiu?!" Grandma Qiu's sunken eyes flashed with shrewdness, and the way Mr. Jiu looked at Xin Yu was like a wolf!
As if he wanted to devour her completely!
And her grandson was just standing there like a fool, letting himself be slaughtered!
"Sit in the study," Qiu Zhi said, then ran to his grandmother, giving her a massage on the shoulders, trying to appease her.
Sigh…
Grandma Qiu looked at Mu Yichuan's cold, hard back, then at Qiu Zhi's relaxed expression, thinking, if Mu Yichuan came to snatch her away, Xin Yu probably wouldn't be able to stay!
"Just hope the tragedy of that year doesn't happen again!" "Her eyes dimmed as she spoke.
Xin Yu quickly locked the bedroom door and lay on the bed, heartbroken.
Why did Mu Yichuan come?
Didn't he bring Zhang Wan to the capital? And now he wants to take her back to the villa!
Sigh… Xin Yu sighed deeply.
If she was drugged a month ago, was it an accident or a conspiracy?
Thinking this, she gradually became drowsy. For no reason, a figure appeared in Xin Yu's mind…
Mu Yichuan?
No, it was… Liu Shuihan?
Xin Yu stared blankly, her consciousness fading.
Suddenly, she felt a cool touch on her leg and abruptly opened her eyes!
What came into view was—Mu Yichuan's handsome and arrogant face!
Instinctively, she looked towards the door; it was securely locked.
"You…you!" Xin Yu was startled and tried to sit up, but Mu Yichuan pulled her into his arms.
"What about me?" His dark eyes narrowed, captivatingly sharp. "Got a powerful backer?"
Xin Yu avoided Mu Yichuan's gaze. What powerful backer did she have?!
Feeling the woman trembling slightly in his arms, Mu Yichuan's muscles tensed again. He was finding himself increasingly powerless against her!
"You're still wearing my ring!" How dare you leave him so blatantly!
"I...I'll give it back to you!" Xin Yu said, trying to take the ring off her finger, but Mu Yichuan gripped her finger tightly, causing a sharp pain.
He was furious. She said she'd give it back!
"What's wrong with you today?" he asked slowly. "Jealous?"
Because of that noisy woman?
Xin Yu found his words grating, full of sarcasm and mockery!
She was both shocked and ashamed. "Jealous? Jealous of what? Why should I be jealous of you!"
He brought Zhang Wan here without even a word of notification or explanation!
She wouldn't allow him to humiliate her like this!
"Why?" "Mu Yichuan's voice was cold, his brows furrowed as he pinched Xin Yu's chin. 'Because you're my wife, Mu Yichuan's wife!'
She wasn't! She wasn't!
If she was his wife, what was Zhang Wan?
A mistress? A girlfriend?
Why should she?!
'Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have money? That the whole world has to revolve around you?' Xin Yu struggled fiercely, her small hands flailing against Mu Yichuan's chest.
'I don't care about the whole world!' He pressed down beside her, his dark eyes cold and sharp. 'Anyway, you'll revolve around me for the rest of your life!'
'I...don't...want!' Xin Yu was completely unable to move, but her clear, bright eyes were incredibly resolute!
'It's not up to you.' With that, Mu Yichuan began his assault…
And this time, Xin Yu clearly felt that he was different from before…!
His kisses, his caresses, were gentler than ever before, and she increasingly succumbed to this force.
'Still saying no? Hmm?' Mu Yichuan raised an eyebrow at Xin Yu, his eyes as dark as ink, suppressing a deep longing.
She bit her lip tightly, furious!
So… he was humiliating her!
In this way!
"Mu Yichuan, even if you get my body through such underhanded means, you will never get my heart!"
His face was extremely ugly, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, his eyes flashing with coldness, a dangerous aura filling the room.
"Underhanded?"
Xin Yu trembled, afraid to breathe, her eyes darting around. This Mu Yichuan was like a dangerous emperor!
He could tear her to pieces with a single command!
"I'll take you into the light now!" He nimbly rolled over, picked up Xin Yu, and started to walk out.
Xin Yu was almost paralyzed with fear, staring blankly at him until they reached the door. No!
No, she was at the Qiu family's house, a guest!
Mu Yichuan not only entered her room, but was also going to carry her out, almost naked!
She'd rather die!
"No, no!" Xin Yu gripped Mu Yichuan's arm tightly, pleading, "Don't do this! Mr. Jiu… Mu Yichuan!"
"Didn't you want to be in the light?"
Xin Yu shook her head vigorously, her watery eyes glistening, on the verge of tears. "No, I beg you, I… I was so sleepy just now, so my head was spinning—"
"Your mouth was spinning too?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xin Yu nodded vigorously, her face deathly pale, her fingertips turning icy white from the force and fear.
"Then let me wake it up!" "As he spoke, Mu Yichuan pinned Xin Yu against the door, and a surge of heat rushed in..."
