Mu Sijue kicked the door open and pressed Xu Youning down on the bed.
He had a dark look in his dark eyes as if something bad was about to happen. âXu Youning, you started this!â
In the beginning, it had been her whoâd made the first move.
Later, sheâd told him in the ward that she liked him.
Heâd already decided to let her go, but sheâd flirted with him time and again.
This time, it was not his fault.
Xu Youning was stunned and looked at Mu Sijue as if she saw a fierce monster in his eyes.
Before she could stop him, Mu Sijue was kissing her aggressively.
âAagh!â
The sound of cloth tearing broke the silence in the bedroom, and Xu Youningâs skin was exposed to the chill of the air.
Mu Sijue grabbed the pieces of her clothes and looked as if he was about to tear them up. He warned Xu Youning darkly, âDonât wear these kinds of clothes again in the future!â
Although these kinds of tight-fitting clothes were convenient for movement, they also outlined her body. She was quite well-shaped, and she always caught menâs eyes!
Xu Youning obviously didnât understand what Mu Sijueâs was thinking. She just felt that he was terribly overbearing and angrily retorted, âItâs none of your business what I wear!â
âOf course itâs my business!â Mu Sijue sneered. âXu Youning, from now on, itâll be my business whether youâre even wearing clothes or not!â
â...â
Xu Youning felt like all the blood in her body was rushing to her face. She gave Mu Sijue a hard shove, but he threw the cloth away and immediately pressed down on her again.
âI canât let him do whatever he wants!â
Xu Youning remembered that she still had one last defense, so she stopped struggling and groped for something along her leg. Then, she grabbed hold of something hard, and pulled it outâ
She was about to hold it against Mu Sijueâs head. If she couldnât threaten him to let her go, at least she could stop him from doing whatever he wanted to her.
As soon as Xu Youning raised her hand, Mu Sijue grabbed her wrist and skillfully twisted it. Xu Youning obediently loosened her grip, and the gun, which had a silencer, fell into his hand.
Mu Sijue looked at the gun and said mockingly, âDoes Kang Ruicheng allow you to use this kind of gun? Were you seriously considering threatening me with it?!â
Xu Youning looked at the black, deep muzzle. Regretting her impulsive actions, she silently cursed Mu Sijue.
Mu Sijue could despise Kang Ruicheng, but why did he criticize Kang Ruichengâs gun?
The gun was dangerous!
How had he reacted so quickly when sheâd pulled out the gun? How had he known what she was going to do?
This manâs ability to think and to act was too fast for her to compete with.
Mu Sijue quickly took the gun and put it on the bedside table. Eyeing Xu Youning, he said, âLetâs play a game. If you win, Iâll give it back to you!â
âThis canât actually be a game!â
Even though she thought that, Xu Youning still cast a curious look at Mu Sijue and waited for him to continue.
Mu Sijue lowered his head and pressed his warm lips against Xu Youningâs ear, whispering, âSoon, youâll be stopping yourself from begging me and saying that you donât want me.â
He didnât want to compete with Xu Youning. Instead, he wanted to take revenge on her for saying that he was unnecessary.
Xu Youning would be subdued by him. There was no way sheâd be able to defeat him.
âSinister. Super freak!â
âWhat do you think?â
Mu Sijue breathed into Xu Youningâs ear and she felt weak and helpless.
How could she be Mu Sijueâs opponent?
Seeing Xu Youning biting her lip and holding back her anger, Mu Sijue sneered, âYou can admit defeat now!â
Xu Youning was so angry that she turned and bit Mu Sijueâs neck! He groaned, but he didnât hit her or force her to relax her bite.
In the end, Xu Youning relaxed her bite. He looked at her indifferently and asked, âAre you happy now?â
Before Xu Youning could reply, Mu Sijue had kissed her hard on the lips. The aggressive kisses continued like a storm.
This time, Xu Youning really had no way to escape.
Fortunately, just then Mu Sijueâs cell phone rang. It rang on and on and the continuous sound had a sense of urgency.
Mu Sijue frowned unhappily and let go of Xu Youning to answer the phone. One of his staff said, âSeventh Brother, Kang Ruicheng couldnât find any clues, so heâs sent someone to cause trouble. Theyâre well-prepared, so we canât deal with them. We need you to come over and handle it!â
âWell-prepared?â
This was a tricky situation.
Mu Sijue hung up the phone, put his coat on, and gave Xu Youning a hard glare before leaving. âRemember what I said. Donât try to escape!â
Xu Youning couldnât help complaining, âHow would I escape in such a desolate place?â Then she subconsciously glanced at the gun on the bedside table.
âKang Ruicheng gave you a cheap gun. Donât even think about it!â Mu Sijue took the gun away, saying, âIâll get you a better one!â
After that, he left, taking Xu Youningâs last hope with him.
Xu Youning lay on the bed in despair for a while. In the end, she had to get up and she opened the wardrobe only to find coats, pants, jackets, pajamas and underwear all hanging neatly inside.
She looked at the sizes and found that they were just right.
Mu Sijue really... knew her well.
Xu Youning took a set of pajamas with her to the shower. She found all her usual toiletries there.
Mu Sijue had obviously long predicted that she would fall into his arms again.
Nothing could express the anger Xu Youning was feeling. She just took a bath in silence, and when she finally came out of the bathroom, it was already two oâclock in the morning.
Sheâd promised Mumu that sheâd be back at dawn. Now it seemed that she was going to break her promise to him.
She just hoped that Mu Sijue wouldnât come back too soon so that sheâd have time to consider what to do next.
She was slowly getting to know some of the secrets of the Kang family. If she could get back there now, and if everything went well, sheâd soon be able to collect evidence of Kang Ruichengâs crimes.
Mu Sijue was completely messing up her plan.
She had to escape from here, but for now it seemed that the only way to do that would be to get Mu Sijueâs permission.
However, Mu Sijue had already resolutely made it clear that he could not let her go.
What should she do?
Xu Youning tossed and turned in the bed. Before she was able to come up with a solution, sheâd fallen asleep.
In a strange way, she had an indescribable sense of security here.
The next day, Mumu was the first to wake up in the old residence of the Kang family.
The little boy was worried about Xu Youning, so he got up early, but he couldnât see Xu Youning on the other side of the bed.
He thought that sheâd already gotten up, so he put on his jacket and quickly ran downstairs, calling, âAuntie Youning!â
The living room was crowded with people, including Kang Ruicheng. Xu Youning wasnât there though, and so no one responded to Mumu.
Mumu was confused and ran over to Kang Ruicheng. âDaddy, where is Auntie Youning? Why hasnât she come back yet?â
Kang Ruicheng picked up his son and looked at him for a while before saying, âAuntie Youning is busy. Sheâll be back later. Just wait a little longer.â
âHow long will I have to wait?â Mumuâs lips quivered, and his eyes welled up. He grabbed Kang Ruichengâs clothes and asked, âIsnât Auntie Youning coming back?â
Kang Ruicheng comforted his son, saying, âAuntie Youning will definitely come back, and I will pick her up. Youâll just have to wait for a few more days, okay?â
A teardrop ran from the corner of Mumuâs eyes. âYep!â he cried, throwing himself into Kang Ruichengâs arms.
Mumu had no clear understanding of good or evil, right or wrong.
He didnât even know what kind of a person Kang Ruicheng was or what kind of relationship Kang Ruicheng had with Xu Youning.
He just relied on Xu Youning, and her warmth, and he wished that she would come back soon.
At that moment, Xu Youning had just woken up in the foreign-style house on the top of the mountain.
In her sleep, she naturally wanted to turn over, but found that she couldnât move at all. She opened her eyes and saw Mu Sijueâs unbelievably handsome face. She was being held fast firmly in his arms.
She had once been attracted to his intimacy.
But now, she was afraid.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She was afraid that she would end up relying on him like before.
Thinking that, Xu Youning gave Mu Sijue a push. She didnât push him away. Instead, she woke him up.
Mu Sijue opened his eyes and said, âI just got back here at dawn. Youâd better be nice!â
If it wasnât for the latter half of the sentence, his tone sounded like a husband complaining to his wife.
Xu Youning wasnât a pushover. She struggled and said, âWhat if I say no?â
Mu Sijue stared at Xu Youning dangerously and said, âDo you want to continue what we started yesterday?â
Xu Youning froze and quickly closed her eyes. She felt Mu Sijue holding her more tightly, with his chin against her shoulder. He seemed to be enjoying it a lot.
Xu Youning was no longer sleepy.
If Mu Sijue had treated her like this when theyâd first met, she wouldnât have hesitated to stay with him.
However, sheâd already let her grandmother die for her, and sheâd made too many mistakes. She had to pay for everything that had happened in the past.
After sleeping for more than two hours, Mu Sijue finally woke up. Seeing that Xu Youning was still sleeping in his arms, he relaxed his hold of her. âLetâs go and have breakfast.â
Xu Youning washed and went downstairs. A warm breakfast was already on the table. The heat of the food would warm her in the cold winterâs morning.
However, there was no sign of cooking in the kitchen. It must have been sent from the club.
Mu Sijue followed her down. When he saw that Xu Youning wasnât sitting down, he asked, âDoesnât it suit your taste?â
â...â It was the first time that Xu Youning had heard Mu Sijue talk to her in such a concerned tone, and she felt lost for words.
Mu Sijue thought that Xu Youning silently said ânoâ, so he called someone in, pointed to the breakfast, and said, âTake it away and make something else!â
Xu Youning quickly sat down and said, âNo need. Letâs eat.â
After breakfast, Xu Youning tried to walk around outside. Mu Sijue didnât restrict her, but she wasnât allowed to go beyond the boundaries of the club.
To put it bluntly, she was placed under house arrest again.
Xu Youning couldnât help running back to ask Mu Sijue, âAre you going to put me under house arrest for the rest of my life?!â
Mu Sijue put down what he was holding, looked at Xu Youning seriously, and said, âLetâs have a talk.â
This talk should have been had a long time ago.
Mu Sijue had been waiting for it for a long time. Since Xu Youning didnât want to take the initiative to talk to him, he would reveal the truth.
He wanted to see how Xu Youning would continue with her pretense.
