Seeing Mu Yichuan's murderous glare, Xin Yu's heart skipped a beat.
Not even a thank you? Could she really risk her life for doing a good deed?
She should have known better than to act so rashly. Who knew what Mu Yi'ai's loves and hates were like? Maybe when she woke up, she'd blame her just like Mu Yichuan!
"Did you change her pajamas?" Mu Yichuan asked coldly, his gaze shifting from Xin Yu's scraped hand.
He glared fiercely at Mu Yi'ai on the ground. She seemed to be trembling, her white bathrobe completely soaked, clinging to her body.
Xin Yu lowered her head, nodding dejectedly. She had dressed her in the pajamas, but she wasn't wearing anything underneath. It wasn't her doing…
"You have half a minute to change her into something else." With that, Mu Yichuan strode out.
Half a minute?! Xin Yu glared angrily for five seconds. This jerk! Were the Mu family members human, but wasn't she, Xin Yu, human?
She'd spent ages taking a cold shower to reduce the effects of the medicine on Mu Yi'ai, and she was soaked to the bone. Now she had no strength left!
"If you're so capable, do it yourself!" Xin Yu snorted, grabbed a dry nightgown, and walked towards Mu Yi'ai, completely oblivious to what was happening outside…
"Mr. Jiu, you're here too?" Cheng Che bowed respectfully.
"This is my territory. I'm here. Is there a problem?" Mu Yichuan glanced coldly at Cheng Che, his eyes narrowing. How did he get here? Did Xin Yu contact him?
"Mr. Jiu, you misunderstand. I… I didn't mean that," Cheng Che explained gently. "I'm here to see Junior Sister Xin Yu."
Junior Sister Xin Yu… Mu Yichuan just couldn't get that title out of place! "Oh?"
"It was Manager Zhang from Ya Culture who contacted me for help. He said he wanted to invite Xin Yu to dinner tonight, but she disappeared halfway through. I made many calls but couldn't reach her." Cheng Che glanced at the room, but it was silent, and Xin Yu was nowhere to be seen.
"Your information network is quite impressive; you managed to find this room." Mu Yichuan's icy words almost froze Cheng Che.
A moment of awkward silence engulfed everyone's hearts, but seeing Mu Yichuan's domineering presence, no one dared to utter a sound…
It wasn't until the bathroom door opened that Mu Yichuan called to Mu Feng, "Take Miss Eight back to the old mansion."
Mu Feng paused, instinctively speaking, "Mr. Ninth…"
"Trying to plead for her?" Mu Yichuan's cold words made Mu Feng instantly feel ashamed. How could he be qualified to plead for the dignified Miss Eight of the Mu family?!
"Mu Feng wouldn't dare!" Mu Feng lowered his head deeply, daring not to utter another word.
"Watch her get beaten up, then come back!" Mu Yichuan's order was overheard by Xin Yu, who had just come out.
She was startled. He wanted someone to beat Mu Yi'ai? Would he beat her too?
Just now, he had been so cold and terrifying!
"Is she dressed?" Mu Yichuan stared at Xin Yu's hands hanging by her sides; her small hands were so red.
Hearing the question, Xin Yu stood at the doorway, unsure how to answer. "Achoo, achoo!"
Damn it!
Mu Yichuan strode over, startling Xin Yu into retreating...
"Why are you hiding?" he asked, displeased, wrapping his coat around Xin Yu.
"She's still drunk." Xin Yu looked at Mu Yi'ai, who was leaning against the wall. In her deep sleep, she lacked the arrogance and rebellious spirit she displayed when awake; instead, she exuded a calmness.
Mu Yichuan's eyes flashed; he hadn't expected Xin Yu to plead for Mu Yi'ai.
"I've been rinsing her with cold water for hours, and she seems to have a slight fever..." Xin Yu glanced at Mu Yichuan, unable to explain why she was meddling again. She just felt sorry for the woman who was already suffering and was now being beaten.
"So?" Mu Yichuan looked at the pitiful Xin Yu. Her dark eyes were moist and captivating, her voice soft and pleading, tickling his heart.
"Take her to the hospital for a checkup?" Xin Yu's voice was almost a whisper. She wasn't sure of Mu Yichuan's attitude and didn't know the situation within the Mu family, what kind of entanglements were involved.
Mu Yichuan bent down and scooped Xin Yu up in his arms, causing her to gasp. Her small, red hands gripped his collar tightly, trembling uncontrollably.
Xin Yu, Xin Yu, I told you so long ago, don't meddle in other people's business, why can't you remember...?
Mu Yichuan, carrying Xin Yu, paused at the door. "Mu Feng! Take Miss Eight to the hospital."
He strode away, leaving Mu Feng stunned. Had their Ninth Master changed his mind? Was it because Xin Yu... pleaded for her?
Without another second to think, Mu Feng slipped into the bathroom...
"Mr. Mu—Ninth Master," Xin Yu huddled in Mu Yichuan's arms.
"What are you afraid of? Do you think I'd eat you?" He lowered his head and lightly bit her lip.
"Mmm..." Xin Yu instinctively licked the spot where he'd bitten her.
"If you want to eat my saliva, just say so."
"..." Xin Yu, hearing Mu Yichuan's lewd words, dared not respond, still keeping her eyes lowered. "Ninth Master, was Senior Brother Cheng Che outside just now?"
It all happened so fast, and she was so nervous that she hadn't dared to look around, only sensing a familiar figure.
Senior Brother…
"Oh?" Mu Yichuan's face darkened instantly. "You're so familiar with him?"
"I…I didn't." Xin Yu was startled by his gloomy gaze. Well, it was best to keep quiet. The Mu Yi'ai incident had just passed; it was best not to cause any more trouble.
"Didn't? Then how come I can see other men while nestled in my arms?"
Xin Yu buried her head in Mu Yichuan's neck, offering no response.
Mu Yichuan, who was initially somewhat angry, tensed up at the warm, shallow breath against his neck. However, since they were in his private room on the 18th floor, he restrained himself.
He carried Xin Yu directly into the bathroom. She shuddered, and seeing the showerhead turned on, her first thought was that Mu Yichuan was going to avenge Mu Yi'ai!
"What are you doing!" Xin Yu hid in a corner, preparing to escape. "I already said I didn't harm Mu Yi'ai! Who knows who she offended with her arrogance!"
"Come here!" Mu Yichuan had no desire to mention that troublemaking woman! "No!" Xin Yu's eyes darted around cleverly. "I had no choice but to splash her with cold water. She was drugged. Did I really want that gigolo to do...?"
Mu Yichuan let the water spray on him, standing there motionless, leaning lazily against the wall, watching Xin Yu. "How did you know she was drugged?"
"Huh?" Xin Yu was taken aback by the question. Her reaction was definitely yes, but how could she tell Mu Yichuan? How embarrassing! And that person was his sister!
In a moment of hesitation, Mu Yichuan was already standing in front of Xin Yu, his tall figure looming over her, leaving her nowhere to escape. Xin Yu's chin was lifted.
"How did you get into that room?" A cold voice.
...A hot kiss!
"Tell me."
Released, Xin Yu felt dizzy and her breathing was erratic. She had no choice but to tell him everything.
Mu Yichuan's heart sank further as he listened. This little woman had gone mad! She dared to jump off the balcony for Mu Yi'ai?!
And even fought with a gigolo?!
"Don't you have my phone number?" Mu Yichuan's voice was like a category 15 tornado.
"I called you, but I couldn't get through!" Xin Yu hurriedly explained, truly afraid Mu Yichuan would kill her with a single blow.
The little woman called him?
"I'll investigate. If I find out you're lying—"
Xin Yu was furious and retorted, "Why would I lie? I haven't done anything wrong. It was your Mu family who provoked me first. I'm magnanimous, and now you don't even say thank you..."
"Your fox tail is showing?"
"You're the fox!" A cunning, treacherous, selfish old fox!
Mu Yichuan curled his lips, his slender fingers gently flicking Xin Yu's small nose. Without a word, he pulled her under the shower. If he didn't give her some warm water, the little girl would catch a cold! Warm water flowed freely over her body, and Xin Yu felt her nerves relax...
"Just now on the 7th floor, I think I heard you discussing with Mu Yi'ai..."
Discussing? Xin Yu frowned, her eyes still closed. What was she discussing with that drunkard?
"It sounded like you were talking about who was a jerk?"
Who was he talking about... well, Mu Yichuan was a jerk, wasn't he...?
Xin Yu suddenly opened her eyes, looking at Mu Yichuan through a wisp of mist. He heard her?
Mu Yichuan's fingers caressed Xin Yu's large eyes, then slid down. "Your clothes are all wet, take them off so you don't catch a cold."
"No need, I... I'll do it myself later!" Xin Yu tried to turn her back to him!
"Do it yourself?" Mu Yichuan chuckled softly in Xin Yu's ear. "Okay."
Phew...
"But I'm afraid of catching a cold, wife, help me take off my clothes."
Damn it!
Xin Yu turned around in shock, glaring at Mu Yichuan. That jerk! He's a complete bastard!
"Don't know how? I'll teach you." Mu Yichuan picked up Xin Yu's hand and placed it on the top button of his shirt. "Like this..."
Xin Yu clenched her teeth, unsure whether to feel ashamed or angry!
"Good girl," Mu Yichuan whispered, holding Xin Yu's waist, "Once you're undressed, I promise to give you double the reward later, how about it?"
Reward?!
"I...I was just joking. How could I ask Mr. Jiu for thanks? It's my honor to serve Mr. Jiu."
Mu Yichuan's diamond-like black eyes were full of laughter. This girl was so amusing!
His ability to change his expression was becoming increasingly masterful!
"No, I, Mu Jiu, always repay kindness with kindness and wrong with wrong."
Seeing him become serious, Xin Yu really wanted to go back a few minutes. She would never have said thank you.
"Double isn't enough? How about four times?"
"Really, no need!" Xin Yu's heart trembled.
"Six times?"
"..."He can do whatever he wants, right? Did she have a choice?
"So, my wife likes six." He chuckled deeply, making the bathroom even warmer.
She didn't like it!
Hiss...
Before they could react, Mu Yichuan had stripped them both naked.
"You—"
"Don't be shy. Is it that I haven't seen yours, or you haven't seen mine?" Mu Yichuan interrupted Xin Yu, pressing her against his firm, white chest.
"Mu Yichuan, you...you...really...bastard!" Anyway, he'd taken her, so she had every right to curse him!
"Wrong, wife, I'm not a bastard," Mu Yichuan pressed his large face close to Xin Yu's, meticulously correcting her, "I'm...a...rogue."
