The method Gu Xiaoqi used to scratch herself, had finally seen Mu Liancheng.

Playing with the butterfly knot on her wrist, Gu Xiaoqi carefully asked: "Ninth Master, how have you been recently?"

The two who had become close suddenly became distant again.

Mu Liancheng had a cold expression on his face as he replied in an irrelevant manner, "Gu Xiaoqi, I won't let you go."

"Huh?" Xiao Qi had a stupefied expression. When did she say she was leaving!? Could the Gu family be up to something again?

"Ninth Master, I don't want to leave." Gu Xiaoqi asked suspiciously in her heart.

Mu Liancheng did not pursue the matter any further. As if nothing had happened, he helped Xiao Qi change into her pajamas, then got up and prepared to leave.

Seeing that, Gu Xiaoqi hurriedly asked, "Ninth Master, you, aren't you sleeping with me?"

Such an invitation would be fatal for a man, but Mu Liancheng merely hesitated for a moment before firmly refusing, "I still have work to do, you go to sleep first."

Watching Mu Liancheng leave, Xiao Qi felt the wound on her wrist suddenly hurt, and even her heart ached a little.

Ninth Master didn't want her anymore? Could it be that it was really as Gu Jiabao had said, that Mu Liancheng was only temporarily interested in her, and was just playing around?

But in her previous life, she had clearly been trapped by Mu Liancheng for more than ten years.

Gu Xiaoqi lied on her bed and thought random thoughts as she looked at the ceiling.

She discovered that many things were different from her previous life. The only thing that had not changed was that she was still entangled with him.

Time slowly passed, and suddenly, Xiao Qi's phone rang.

There were only two minutes until midnight! Mu Liancheng's birthday!

Gu Xiaoqi hurriedly got up from the bed and took out the express delivery from the shop that she had arrived a few days ago.

It was drizzling outside the window as Gu Xiaoqi quietly entered the study room.

Xiao Qi knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.

She bravely pushed open the door and was just about to enter when a tall figure grabbed her and pushed her against the wall.

"Nine …" "Mmm mmm …" The rough kiss came smashing down from the sky as the man covered her mouth. Then, with cold thin lips, he stuck it onto Gu Xiaoqi's forehead, her face, and finally, hugged her neck as she rubbed against it with all her strength. She even had the misconception that the man's sharp teeth were ready to bite at any time.

Using all of her strength to break her hand, Gu Xiaoqi fiercely struggled, "Ninth Master, you're hurting me!"

Maybe the girl's familiar voice calmed Mu Liancheng down a little. He pushed Gu Xiaoqi away with all his might, and said with a strange voice: "Get out!"

The room was very dark, and Xiao Qi couldn't see Mu Liancheng's face. "Ninth Master, about that, I have something to give you."

"Get out!" Mu Liancheng raised his voice.

Gu Xiaoqi took out a box from her pocket and stubbornly handed it over, "Ninth Master, please accept me and I will leave!"

Mu Liancheng suddenly became angry, he knocked Xiao Qi's hand away, then grabbed her collar and threw her out, and then kicked out the box.

Bang!

The door was slammed shut, and Gu Xiaoqi fell onto the ground with a heart-wrenching pain coming from her ankle.

She crawled over to pick up the bracelet that fell out of the box. It wasn't a valuable item in the first place, so it broke into two pieces after the fall.

In her previous life, she didn't want to give it to Mu Liancheng, but Mu Liancheng was extremely powerful.

It was destined to be a sleepless night.

When it was almost five, Mu Liancheng appeared in the room wearing a bathrobe.

Gu Xiaoqi had not slept at all when she heard the noise. She immediately pretended to roll over and bury herself in the blanket.

She pricked up her ears and the faint sound of footsteps approached the bed.

Mu Liancheng did not notice anything amiss, he sat weakly on the carpet with his face pale white. Upon closer inspection, he saw that his body was covered in blood stains, as if he had been pulled out by a rope.

The two of them did not move. Only after a long while did Mu Liancheng prop himself up, and then he kissed Xiao Qi's hand and left.

Gu Xiaoqi's nose, who was covered by the blanket, suddenly felt sore. She really couldn't accept this man's mixed emotions.

He had just chased her out of the study and thrown her present, and now, while she was sleeping, he had secretly looked at her and kissed her.

Sometimes gentle, sometimes irritable. It was like there were two people living in the same shell.

In the study on the second floor.

Mu Liancheng weakly sat on the sofa. In his hands, he held a special medicine, and carefully concocted it.

Shen Nan's movements were a little unfamiliar. Although these ointments could speed up the healing of wounds, it was still extremely painful to use, something that Ninth Master had not used in a long time. Unexpectedly, it had come in handy today.

As one of the closest people to Mu Liancheng, Shen Nan knew that ever since the son of the Patriarch suffered from a strange disease, it would immediately flare up on rainy days.

It was as if he had become addicted to drugs. His whole body was in unbearable pain. His limbs were twitching uncontrollably. He was so crazy that even his six relatives would not recognize him. He would accidentally hurt the people around him.

Therefore, every time it was a cloudy day, Ninth Master would instruct him to prepare some rope and tie himself up while he was still awake.

This time, it was also because of the rain. Before he was ready, Miss Gu had already rushed in. If not for his strong willpower, he was afraid that Miss Gu would have been severely injured.

Shen Nan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He had still underestimated the extent of Ninth Master's infatuation. In the past, Ninth Master would always be sick for a day and a night, but tonight, he probably wouldn't be able to relax. However, he would wake up after five hours.

He had just woken up and didn't even bother to take a bath before he ran to see the Miss Gu.

Shen Nan asked softly while applying the medicine, "Ninth Master, there's a message from the Old House side saying that they want to see Miss Gu."

Mu Liancheng closed his eyes and frowned, "Old madam's opinion?"

"Yes." Shen Nan replied.

After being silent for a long while, Mu Liancheng finally opened his mouth and said leisurely: "I will bring Xiao Qi to participate in the next month's feast."

"Ninth Master? Is that okay? " Shen Nan was surprised.

At the Mu Family Family Banquet, what was on the scene, was not only Mu Family Member, but also some families who were related to Mu Family by marriage. There were many different kinds of people, and with Miss Gu's personality, she would probably be bullied by others.

Mu Liancheng naturally thought of this problem as well. But as a man, he urgently wanted to declare his authority, and let everyone know that Gu Xiaoqi was her, so no one could get their hands on him.

Mu Liancheng who was once again on the brink of life and death, whose body was full of destruction, had an even stronger aura of arrogance.

"Do as I say. If someone over there tries to stop you, you know what to do." Mu Liancheng's face was sinister, just looking at it was enough to scare people.

This man's appearance was the Ninth Master Mu that the outside world was familiar with.

Shen Nan's attitude became more respectful, but he was worried, the Miss Gu seemed to have a deep misunderstanding about the Ninth Master, was it appropriate to bring her there now?

Thinking about it again and again, Shen Nan still couldn't help but advise, "Ninth Master, don't you need to coax Miss Gu first?"

Mu Liancheng opened his eyes and arrogantly said, "Alright!"
