Chapter 5

Her life here wasn’t easy to begin with. How could she allow a maid to climb over her head and abuse her power?

She used a bowl of hot soup to make some rice and had lunch.

Initially, she had planned to visit the huge Imperial View Manor in the afternoon. However, due to her period, Mu Wan’s abdomen hurt a little and she went back to the master bedroom on the second floor to lie down.

However, not long after she lay down, the pain did not ease at all. There was a knock on the door of the master bedroom.

After two knocks, Xiao Bi’s arrogant and rude voice sounded. “Miss Mu, Old Master invites you to visit him!”

When she heard the words “Old Master”, Mu Wan’s originally fair face immediately turned pale and quiet.

Even though Xiao Bi said that the Old Master had “invited” her, it was actually an order.

Furthermore, she didn’t even have the right to say no.

Enduring the pain in her abdomen, Mu Wan left the manor under the lead of Old Master Gu’s servant.

An accident caused Gu Tingyuan’s mother to be in a coma. She had to undergo continuous surgeries to maintain her life. The blood needed for every operation was extracted from Mu Wan’s body. This was why Old Master Gu wanted her to marry Gu Tingyuan.

On the surface, it was a marriage. However, in reality, she had to repay him endlessly and become a ‘blood bag’ to prolong the life of Gu Tingyuan’s mother until the day his mother recovered and woke up.

…

It was dusk, and a smear of red lit up the courtyard. It was magnificent.

A dark gray Bugatti Veyron stopped arrogantly at the side of the fountain. The driver’s door was opened. Then, an expensive, handmade brown leather shoe immediately appeared before the servants.

The maid immediately went forward and respectfully took the suit jacket from Gu Tingyuan.

Then, Gu Tingyuan entered the living room and glanced at the second floor coldly. Wherever his gaze landed, the temperature seemed to drop a few degrees.

“Where is she?” His deep voice was devoid of emotion and warmth.

The maid was stunned for a moment before saying, “Miss Mu isn’t here yet.”

Gu Tingyuan paused in his action of loosening his tie. He turned around and stared at the maid with his clear black eyes. He was obviously unhappy with the fact that Mu Wan was not around.

Seeing his questioning gaze, Xiao Bi was about to say something when the sound of a car engine came from the courtyard.

As if sensing that Mu Wan had returned, Gu Tingyuan turned around and his dark gaze landed on the entrance.

It was indeed Mu Wan. She walked down from the black Bentley.

What was different from before was that Mu Wan’s face was frighteningly pale!

Even though the red sunset shone on her face, one could still clearly see that her face was pale like paper. Her body was even a bit unsteady.

“Where did you go?”

The moment she entered, she heard the man’s clear and questioning voice. Mu Wan stopped in her tracks and looked straight at the man in front of her.

As she walked in, his gaze landed on her pale face and he could not help but frown.

What was wrong with her?

Looking at the tall man standing before her, Mu Wan did not have the chance to speak before her vision turned black and her body went limp.

Almost instinctively, Gu Tingyuan quickly reached out to grab her waist and pulled her into his embrace. An unnoticeable anxiety flashed across his cold eyes.

His thoughts stopped on her pale face for a few seconds. Then, he carried her by the waist and quickly walked towards the master bedroom on the second floor.
