He's in!
Xin Yu was sweating profusely from the pain, but she heard Mu Yichuan let out a sigh of pleasure!
He was actually so… a rogue!
"Can you feel it?" Mu Yichuan hugged Xin Yu tightly. "You're so perfect for me!"
"Mu Yichuan, you're sick! Get out!" Xin Yu's face contorted in pain. "It hurts…"
Feeling Xin Yu trembling, he was somewhat moved and had no choice but to back out.
However, Xin Yu didn't feel any relief. The tearing pain forced her to lean against Mu Yichuan, gasping for breath.
"Don't avoid me anymore, or you'll be the one who suffers in the end."
"You… bastard! Rogue! Powerful! Rude!" How could he just barge in like that!
"Are you reminding me how good your mouth is?" Mu Yichuan gently washed her hands, but his tone was full of threat.
Xin Yu immediately fell silent, wanting only to be as far away from him as possible.
Mu Yichuan precisely grabbed Xin Yu's small hand. "Aren't you going to let me wash it?"
She pulled her hand away; she didn't want to touch him!
This willful, capricious bastard!
"Are you sure you don't care?" Mu Yichuan wrapped his arms around Xin Yu from the side. "Then don't complain about me being dirty when we get to bed later."
"What exactly do you want?" Xin Yu exclaimed in surprise. "Wasn't what I said clear enough? Wasn't my meaning clear enough?"
Mu Yichuan tilted his body slightly, looking at Xin Yu lazily. "What did you mean?"
She was furious; there was no way to communicate with him!
"I just think you're jealous." Mu Yichuan slightly curled the corners of his lips, a hint of pleasure flashing in his eyes, making his bright black eyes shimmer.
"Jealous?" Xin Yu pointed to her nose. "I'd never be jealous of you!"
"What do you want to be jealous of?!"
Gah...
Xin Yu's eyes widened in shock at his words, a blush creeping onto her face from the fantasies in her mind.
Angry, she splashed water at Mu Yichuan. Even in this situation, he was still teasing and mocking her!
The white silk nightgown clung to Xin Yu's delicate skin, every inch as smooth and white as if it had been soaked in milk. Mu Yichuan reached out and pulled her close, completely ignoring the water droplets on her face.
"What are you ashamed of!" His voice was deep. "Last time we went to Nanshi, where didn't you take advantage of me?"
That night was simply unforgettable...
"You—you have the nerve to say that! You took advantage of me!" Xin Yu was furious, her eyes darting around. With a powerful kick, she pounced on his neck and bit him.
Only when she tasted blood did Xin Yu panic and release her bite.
What had she done! Mu Yichuan remained silent throughout, his sharp dark eyes fixed on Xin Yu.
Luckily, she hadn't managed to bite his carotid artery, otherwise, she'd be a murderer tonight!
Pouting, Xin Yu was sullen, inexplicably agitated.
"Feeling better now?"
"No!" Xin Yu retorted stubbornly. How could she feel better?
"Then bite me on the left side?"
Xin Yu didn't dare answer. She'd been too enraged and lost her temper.
"No one in this world has ever dared to hurt me."
Her body trembled, and Xin Yu looked at Mu Yichuan with some fear. There was a hint of hellish dread about him when he said that.
"You're the first."
"So what do you want?!" Xin Yu raised her chin slightly. Since things had come to this, "You want to hurt me or sue me! It's up to you!"
Either he bites her neck too—it'll only hurt for a moment!
Or he goes to the police and arrests her, and she can use that opportunity to turn the tables! "I can't bear to part with either."
"..." Xin Yu stole a glance at Mu Yichuan. Did he really say that?
"Don't women all love to be jealous over baseless accusations?"
What does "baseless accusation" mean?
He said the same thing about Qiu Feng last time!
Is he talking about Zhang Wan this time?
Does he mean he and Zhang Wan have nothing going on?
"Are you trying to fool me?! Explain what 'baseless accusation' means!"
She's already at his house, and he's even made the phone call!
Mu Yichuan's face darkened. He wasn't usually a very patient person, but with this woman, he'd reached his limit!
"Considering this is your first offense, there can't be a next time!"
Xin Yu also kept a cold face, no longer speaking, suppressing all her anger, and scrambled out of the bathtub, about to leave.
"Stop."
She wouldn't!
Why should he act like he's forgiving her for her first offense after she made a mistake? "Dry your hair before you go out!"
"Do you think I'll be grateful to you like this?"
"I'm not." Mu Yichuan came out, grabbed Xin Yu, ripped off her pajamas, and wrapped a bath towel around her.
"I just don't want you to get sick. Making me suffer like this is too much for even half a minute!"
...!
Xin Yu could only stare helplessly as Mu Yichuan quickly stripped her naked.
"W-what do you want?" Xin Yu's voice trembled as she frantically hid. "I thought, with your learning ability, you should have known long ago what we'd do tonight."
Xin Yu's voice trembled with tears, her whole body shaking uncontrollably. "Don't do this, Mu Yichuan, I...I!"
"Zhang Wan and I didn't do anything."
After saying that, Mu Yichuan fell silent, letting his actions quell the anger and resentment that had accumulated over the past three weeks...
"No, no!" Xin Yu woke up in a fright that morning, sitting bolt upright, staring blankly at the tranquil surroundings.
Then she lay back down, equally stunned.
Mu Yichuan was gone.
But her body felt like it had been dismantled.
She couldn't move at all.
A gentle knock on the door sent a shiver of panic through the relaxed Xin Yu.
"Miss Xin, the Old Madam wants you to get up and come down for lunch."
Lunch?!
Oh my god, Xin Yu, you've really embarrassed yourself this time!
As a guest, you slept until noon! "Coming, coming right away!"
After a hurried wash and dressing, Xin Yu, sporting panda eyes, went downstairs.
"Girl, what's wrong? Didn't you sleep well?" Grandma Qiu was startled, completely baffled as to why Xin Yu, who had only just woken up, looked like she hadn't slept at all.
"N-no, I went to bed late last night." Xin Yu rubbed her face vigorously, wanting to cover her eyes. "I'll...go get some water."
She hurriedly stood up, but her legs gave way, and she fell to the side.
"What's for lunch today?" Qiu Zhi happened to sit down from the living room and instinctively reached out to catch Xin Yu.
As if electrocuted, Xin Yu pushed Qiu Zhi away, only to bump her back against the dining table. "Ouch—"
"Girl!" Grandma Qiu was dizzy from the series of movements, but her mind was perfectly clear. "N-nothing! It doesn't hurt." But Xin Yu, who had slumped over, winced in pain. "Um, thank you for earlier!"
After saying that, Xin Yu rushed to the living room, clutching her waist and slumping onto the sofa, groaning softly.
Qiu Zhi looked outside and heard his grandmother's strange tone, "Ah Zhi, why do you have dark circles under your eyes?"
"Do I?" Qiu Zhi calmly sat down, took the food the maid handed him, and began to eat.
"Aunt Ping, take a look?"
Aunt Ping covered her mouth and smiled, nodding to Old Mrs. Qiu. Then, an ambiguous atmosphere ignited in the dining room amidst the speculation of these two women, whose combined age exceeded one hundred.
Qiu Zhi helplessly ate his food in silence. It was all Mu Yichuan's fault; he was just an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire!
Sigh, this little girl has it tough!
"Why are you sighing!" Old Mrs. Qiu had silently prayed to all the gods and Buddhas to make her grandson understand! Qiu Zhi raised his peach blossom eyes and glanced at Xin Yu as she walked in, her face pale with pain.
"Is your back alright? I have some medicine!"
"No way! Your medicine is too bitter!" Xin Yu hadn't even grasped the atmosphere of the restaurant when Qiu Zhi said this, and immediately refused. She still vividly remembered the medicine he gave her last time!
"This time it's a patch, idiot!"
Xin Yu's lips twitched. He called her an idiot in front of so many people!
Fine, she was a guest, she'd endure it!
"Girl, let A-Zhi put one on for you, it hurt just listening to it." Grandma Qiu went along with it.
"Forget it, I think she's fine, she's young!" Qiu Zhi had heard the trap in those words. Let him put one on?!
Having Xin Yu stay here meant he was being watched every day!
If he dared to put a patch on Xin Yu, Mu Yichuan would definitely tear his heart out! "Young? Even that can't withstand this!" Grandma Qiu, an experienced woman, noticed the girl's legs going weak earlier. Her grandson really didn't know how to be considerate!
Seeing Grandma Qiu about to yell at Qiu Zhi again, Xin Yu felt bad and quickly tried to calm her down, "Grandma, I'm fine. Qiu Zhi is a top doctor. He said I'm fine, so I'm definitely fine!"
"Look at this girl!" She's not even married yet and she's already defending that brat!
Grandma Qiu gave Aunt Ping a knowing smile.
Qiu Zhi's eyes darted around several times, finally unable to bear the atmosphere, and he said to Xin Yu, "Eat quickly, don't you have to go to the party tonight?"
"Can I not go?" She blinked her clear, bright eyes. She remembered Mu Yichuan saying he would let her off the hook at the party.
But last night, he clearly hadn't let her off the hook!
"What do you think?" Qiu Zhi raised an eyebrow. How did he know what she and Mu Yichuan had discussed? "I said? Then I won't go. I... my back hurts, my legs hurt, my head hurts, everything hurts." Xin Yu finished quickly, looking at Qiu Zhi with a pleading expression. "Could you give me a medical certificate?"
Would Mu Yichuan let her off the hook then?
Qiu Zhi paused. What kind of crazy ideas were these girls having?
A medical certificate?
Dream on!
Xin Yu's face darkened. She remembered that Qiu Zhi and Mu Yichuan were childhood best friends!
How could he possibly help her!
"What kind of party? Girl, if you don't want to go, don't go. Stay home with Grandma." Grandma Qiu doted on Xin Yu now; she wouldn't let her suffer.
"No!" Qiu Zhi immediately rejected her, telling Xin Yu, "Eat quickly."
Xin Yu pouted. "Okay, then after you finish eating, help me find some medicine."
Her back really hurt.
"Go find it quickly!" Grandma Qiu smiled knowingly, waiting to see Qiu Zhi apply the plaster to Xin Yu right before her eyes.
However, he had no intention of doing so. Ignoring his grandmother's eager anticipation, his charming eyes gleamed as he casually said, "Apply it in the car."
"You brat! Still shy in front of your grandma?"
