"Mentor, mentor!" Xin Yu's face flushed red and then paled, her words stammering.
Donghua didn't notice anything between her and Mu Yichuan, only waving his phone. "Your father asked me to meet him tomorrow. He's in the capital?"
Father? Xin Zhong?
Xin Yu's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Donghua. What did her father want?!
Wasn't everything made perfectly clear that day?!
Why were they still bothering her?!
"Oh… I… I'll contact him later." Xin Yu forced a smile, a very awkward one.
"Okay, but ask him if the day after tomorrow is okay. My schedule is packed tomorrow." With that, Donghua went into the private room.
Leaving a bewildered Xin Yu, stunned.
"Are you going to be my maid or not?" Mu Yi'ai raised an eyebrow, looking arrogantly at Mu Yichuan and Xin Yu.
"It seems you've forgotten the punishment you received before, and want to experience it again." Mu Yichuan's voice was icy and ruthless, just like the cold glint in his dark eyes.
"What do you want?" Mu Yi'ai jumped away, her words still defiant. "I'm the old man's man, you dare touch me!"
"The old man can't control you. Leave it to me, he trusts you." With that, Mu Yichuan waved his hand forcefully, and several men in black walked out of the corridor. "Take Miss Eight to the Nanlong Villa."
"Why?" Xin Yu didn't dare to stop him, but she was truly puzzled. Wasn't that villa given to Zhang Wan?
Why take Mu Yi'ai there?
Given their personalities, wouldn't they be fighting every day?!
"Killing two birds with one stone, why not?" His eyes were deep, his lips tightly pressed together, then he leaned down and sighed softly in Xin Yu's ear, "To do something, so my wife doesn't think I have a good personal relationship with someone else."
He still remembered what she had said before?
Does that mean he cares about her? "How are we going to settle this today?"
...!
Xin Yu stared wide-eyed, looking up. How could she possibly think he cared about her?
He was clearly just being petty!
"I...I'll be a good academic assistant for you and make amends." Would that be alright?
Mu Yichuan thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay, depending on your performance. You have to do your best for everything I ask."
Phew.
That's the only way.
However, today's events were really unlucky. From now on, she'd not only have to check the almanac before going out, but also ask Mu Yichuan about his schedule.
"You're not allowed to see Mu Yi'ai again."
Faced with Mu Yichuan's cold demand, Xin Yu still mustered her courage and said, "Don't you think it would be better to give her something to do?"
Besides, he invested a hundred million in their small company!
"You think you can handle her?" He raised an eyebrow, completely unconvinced.
This...seems impossible. "But maybe it can distract her a bit."
Life can't be all about love; that would be too monotonous and would deprive one of the nourishment that love needs.
"See?" With that, Mu Yichuan scooped Xin Yu up and carried her into private room 888.
Thump.
The door was kicked shut.
"What are you doing?!" Xin Yu trembled in fright. "Shouldn't you go to the private room next door?"
The professors and leaders of their school were all waiting for him!
"Give me some noodles."
Huh?
"Here?" Xin Yu was bewildered, pointing to the private room. "There's nothing here. Let's do it tonight."
Mu Yichuan chuckled, reaching down towards her crotch. "I meant here."
...!
Xin Yu's face instantly turned crimson.
"Mu Yichuan, you bastard!" He was completely twisting her meaning!
He kissed her cheek, then picked her up again and carried her into the restroom. His strong body pressed against the door, and he began his assault.
"Mu Yichuan! Let...uh...let me go!"
How could he have reverted to his carefree nature?!
Was he really going to take her right here?
Her tutor was in the private room next door!
"Ugh, please," Xin Yu pleaded, seeing her top already ripped off, revealing her fair, smooth skin. "Don't do this, let's go...go home..."
Mu Yichuan's pupils contracted as he looked at her beautiful skin. He himself didn't understand why he was so unable to control himself!
He stroked Xin Yu's skin with one hand; there were a few faint marks on it, probably from being too rough a few days ago.
"Don't want to?" His voice was deep and seductive.
Of course not! Xin Yu pouted. Who would be like him?!
This was broad daylight, in public!
"Want to go home...to do it?"
No! Nowhere!
Xin Yu screamed inwardly. Wasn't that just a last resort?! "Mu Yichuan, don't do this, really, don't you have important things to do?" Xin Yu pushed him, trying to find some space to put her shirt back on.
"Alright then." Mu Yichuan said, but moved his body, making Xin Yu feel his presence and igniting the heat in the bathroom!
"Eighth Miss, are you still there?"
The sudden voice made Xin Yu tremble. It was that pretty young girl!
She hadn't left? Where had she gone?
Mu Yichuan raised an eyebrow, put Xin Yu down, and made to open the door.
"What are you doing?" she asked in a low voice, quickly locking the door. Going out now would be an admission of guilt!
She didn't have that kind of shamelessness.
Knock knock knock.
"Eighth Miss, are you in the bathroom?" The girl tried to open the door, but Xin Yu quickly gestured to Mu Yichuan, begging him not to make a sound! "Didn't you say you wanted to cook at home?" He wrapped his arms around her from behind, pressing his earlobe to hers. "Changed your mind?"
This bastard!
He did it on purpose!
Xin Yu raised her foot to step on Mu Yichuan's foot, but unexpectedly, he deftly hooked her and lifted her onto the sink. "Then I'll reluctantly eat...noodles."
Fortunately, the girl didn't hesitate. She knocked a few times, and when no one answered, she left. Xin Yu, as soon as she left, relaxed completely, collapsing into Mu Yichuan's arms…
It wasn't until evening that Xin Yu remembered her advisor's words. "Hey, why did you call my advisor?!"
What was he really up to?!
"Come for the blind date tomorrow," Xin's father coldly ordered.
"Why should I!" Xin Yu was furious. "You should let your sister go on a date; she's always been so eager to get married!"
"Xin Yu, I'm not discussing this with you, and I don't have time for anything else!" Xin Zhong said gruffly. "I'm making a demand of you as a father!"
Ha!
Xin Yu really wanted to laugh out loud!
A father, yet he's making demands of his own daughter!
He actually dared to say that!
"Then let me tell you—I'm ignoring your demands!"
"Ignore? Think it over. I'll have a good talk with your advisor about your past, and if that doesn't work, I'll have a good talk with your school leaders."
"..." This really isn't her father!
"Tomorrow at noon, Man Coffee." With that, Xin's father hung up the phone coldly.
Mu Yichuan came in just in time to see Xin Yu's dazed and confused state. He gently walked to her side and put his arm around her shoulder.
The little girl's still angry?
She was enjoying lunch, wasn't she! "Ah..." Feeling the cool breath, Xin Yu gasped, instinctively covering her chest as she fled from Mu Yichuan.
This rogue...
He stood by the bed, leisurely watching Xin Yu, his eyes gleaming with seductive allure!
"It's evening." His cello-like voice provoked Xin Yu.
She trembled violently, understanding his meaning perfectly.
But stubbornly, she remained silent, refusing to acknowledge him!
"Still at home."
Upon hearing the more explicit explanation, Xin Yu didn't hesitate, hastily trying to escape the room.
Mu Yichuan grabbed her and pulled her onto the bed. "Run? A person should be responsible for their words and actions."
Xin Yu's lips twitched. "Mr. Jiu, we are neither!"
"Wrong. What we need to do includes both being a person and doing things—being a wife, being a husband, hmm?"
"Bastard!"
Xin Yu used her mouth, hands, feet, and her whole body, but couldn't stop the man before her, who was like a hungry wolf.
She woke up again to her father's annoying phone call. She hung up angrily.
She started to "get ready."
Wasn't she supposed to go?
She would definitely "perform well"!
When Xin Yu went downstairs, the housekeeper was startled, dropping the porcelain pot in his hand. "Madam?"
"Ah! School, cosplay," Xin Yu explained awkwardly, forgetting the housekeeper was there at this time.
After saying that, she fled like a greased ant. The housekeeper was left stunned. What had she just seen? Was cosplay all about dressing up horribly?
"My God, why is that person wearing such a bright red silk dress? Doesn't she know she's ugly and fat?!"
"Ah! I'm so scared! Has that pregnant woman been subjected to inhuman abuse? Her face is so yellow! And her dark circles are so heavy!"
"Oh my god, run! A ghost is coming..."
Xin Yu pouted. She really couldn't be blamed for scaring people.
She could only blame her scumbag father.
"Excuse me, uh." The waiter at the coffee shop door paused in fright. "This, ma'am, you—"
"I made an appointment," Xin Yu said deliberately in a hoarse voice, her eyes flashing with a feigned cuteness.
But with that makeup, the waiter almost vomited and naturally didn't believe her.
"My name is Xin Yu. I made an appointment with Xin Zhong. If you don't believe me, go ask if he's here?" Her voice was loud, deliberately trying to attract attention, so when the waiter went to inquire, the entire coffee shop practically exploded. Xin Zhong sat in the corner, oblivious to the commotion at the door. He readily admitted to having an appointment with Xin Yu, but also expressed his suspicion about the current service, asking, "Since when do we need introductions?"
However, when he saw Xin Yu, he was completely taken aback!
He stood there, speechless.
Then, anger surged!
"What's wrong with you! You're acting like a wild child!"
Xin Yu, clutching her back, said, "I really wanted to thank you, Dad, but if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it. You married me off to Zhao Wu, and then you tried to drag me into this mess by making me go on a blind date. Look at the beating I got! I almost lost my baby!"
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeve, revealing large, bruised bruises.
Suddenly, the entire café fell silent.
Abruptly, it erupted into chaos again.
Some watched coldly, some didn't believe her and began analyzing Xin Yu's makeup, and some believed her and began criticizing Xin Zhong's actions.
"Dad…" Xin Yu was on the verge of tears, about to say something, when she heard someone call her name.
"Ayu."
Liu Shuihan?!
What was he doing here?
"Uncle Xin, I'm sorry, there was traffic on the way and I was a little late."
