Gu Jiabao was not on guard at all, and only reacted after her entire body was drenched.

"Why are you here?" Gu Jiabao looked at Gu Xiaoqi who had already wrapped a bath towel around herself in shock, as if she had seen a ghost.

Gu Xiaoqi stuck her waist forward, pointed at Gu Jiabao and said angrily: "Of course I'm here! On the other hand, what do you want to do? "

In the end, it was Gu Jiabao. She was stunned for a moment, then naturally stood up from the water.

The white lace dress had been drenched and tightly stuck onto Gu Jiabao's body.

She pitifully stood in the bathtub and hugged her shoulders. Gu Jiabao said grievingly: "I, I just have some questions, I want to ask Ninth Master."

"Problem?" Gu Xiaoqi scoffed, and unceremoniously answered: "Sister Jia Bao wearing it, do you want Ninth Master to guess your third encirclement?"

"You, Qi Qi, how can you say that about me? I'm not that kind of person." Gu Jiabao's eyes turned slightly red, with tears welling up in her eyes, looking as if she had suffered a great grievance.

Then, he looked at Gu Xiaoqi, with an aggressive attitude, as though Gu Xiaoqi was going to pounce on him and bite him at any time.

Mu Liancheng looked at Gu Xiaoqi protecting her food and felt extremely satisfied in her heart. He stood up and pulled Xiao Qi's hand, "Let's go, to see the gift I brought for you."

"But, she …" Gu Xiaoqi was obviously a little unhappy. She didn't want to easily blow the matter over.

Mu Liancheng kept looking at Gu Xiaoqi, and then laughed out loud. "When did Xiao Qi become so insensible?"

Being told by Mu Liancheng, Gu Xiaoqi had never thought of this. She opened her eyes wide and asked: "I, how am I ignorant?"

Gu Jiabao thought that Mu Liancheng was helping her and she was secretly happy in his heart but at the same time, he felt very proud. So what if she said it? With her figure and appearance, which man could resist her?

The reason why Mu Liancheng was looking down on her right now, was definitely because he had never come into deep contact with her before. Once she succeeded in pulling this man onto the bed, he would definitely change this steel rod into wriggling fingers.

"Xiao Qi." Mu Liancheng looked at the girl's clear and watery eyes, and couldn't help but kiss her, "Black colored flies, their buzzing sound irritating, it's good that you don't notice."

Mu Liancheng had compared Gu Jiabao to a fly, and her attitude was so sincere that people would not be able to refute him.

Looking at Gu Jiabao's face that was as black as the bottom of a pot, Gu Xiaoqi was happier than if it was the new year.

imitating Mu Liancheng's bland demeanor, she said indifferently: "Big Sis Jia Bao, help me say hello to my future brother-in-law."

After saying that, without even giving Gu Jiabao a chance to react, she pulled Mu Liancheng and left.

Returning to his room, Mu Liancheng asked in a rare tone, "Xiao Qi, what do you plan to do?"

This was asking about Gu Jiabao's departure and stay. Facing Mu Liancheng, Gu Xiaoqi revealed the plan in her heart.

"You, are you planning to use Gu Jiabao to lure the person behind?" Mu Liancheng immediately grasped the main point.

"That's right." Gu Xiaoqi's expression was serious, she had always been investigating the matter before secretly taking photos.

Whatever Mu Liancheng found out, he had never hidden it from her, so she knew that the person behind him was's Little Uncle, which was also Gu Jiabao's former financial backer. In addition to Shen Waner's mother, and the matter of Mu Zheng, even Second Uncle Mu Zicheng's twin wife was surnamed Xia, there were shadows of Xia Family everywhere.

She did not believe it was a coincidence.

Furthermore, Shen Nan found out that Gu Jiabao had linked Jian Yan with a man surnamed Xia. That man was generous and invested a lot of money into the company that Jian Yan was in charge of, but she showed Xia Yichen his photos of him and he said that he was not a member of his family.

The information Mu Liancheng obtained was a little more than Gu Xiaoqi. He thought for a moment, then told Xiao Qi, "Gu Jiabao and Xia Ming have been in contact this whole time."

Xia Ming was Xia Yichen's little uncle, which was something Gu Xiaoqi hadn't expected.

Furthermore, Mu Liancheng inadvertently revealed another secret. "My mother, who is also surnamed Xia, and Shen Waner's mother, Xia Wei, are distant cousins."

This was the first time Mu Liancheng ever took the initiative to mention his birth parents in front of Gu Xiaoqi.

Gu Xiaoqi knew what was going on, so she asked very carefully: "Auntie, are you from the Xia Family in the capital?"

"Yes." "I've already suppressed the rumors about you and Xia Yichen. Be more careful of late, and don't let anyone grab the opportunity to spread them."

Being openly told off by her boyfriend, Gu Xiaoqi felt extremely uncomfortable. Because of the Mu Family incident the past two days, she had almost forgotten about this matter.

Shen Waner probably had also received the news, so he did not come to disturb her.

On the second day, Gu Xiaoqi finally returned to the set. Upon entering the door, she saw Xia Yichen staring at her with a teary, puppy like gaze, as if she really wanted to come over but didn't dare to do it.

Gu Xiaoqi was amused as she shook her head in amusement, then unintentionally opened her mouth and said: "Young Master Xia is so far away from me, are you afraid that I'll rub shoulders with your heat?"

"No, no!" Xia Yichen rejected him immediately without thinking.

Gu Xiaoqi mischievously asked again: "Then I'm afraid of spreading rumors again, and losing fans."

"No, no!" Xia Yichen waved his hands in a very anxious manner. He crept over and whispered: "You, aren't you angry at me?"

Gu Xiaoqi pinched her chin, carefully assessing Xia Yichen, her expression serious, as though she was considering where to start from.

Xia Yichen was terrified, he knew he was in the wrong and did not have his usual arrogant look, but instead, he bitterly laughed as he said in a low voice: "Hit me, as long as you do not hit my face, I will not retaliate."

Although this Xia Yichen was noisy and somewhat absurd, but after getting along with him for the past few days, she felt that he was a child who had not grown up. Otherwise, when he said that he liked Mu Liancheng, why had she not seen him take any actual actions?

His liking was just like when he was young. He saw a toy he had never seen before in a shopping mall. It was wrapped in an exquisite box, and many people were watching it. That was why he wanted it.

Actually, other than the fact that Xia Yichen's mouth was poisonous, he was a good friend.

"Alright, your skin is tough and your flesh is thick. If I hit you and you think your hands are painful, then I'll punish you to treat me to a meal." Gu Xiaoqi said while beaming.

Xia Yichen's eyes lit up, he patted his chest and said: "Alright, alright, we'll treat you to a meal ten times over. I promise I'll let you go inside and come out horizontally."

Therefore, when the time came for the show, Gu Xiaoqi and the rest went straight to a Sichuan cuisine restaurant on the outskirts of the city.

As it was a private restaurant, the place was not too big. There were only a few small rooms that were blocked by a screen. The soundproofing was not that good, and one could occasionally hear the sound of cooking in the kitchen.

"I promise, you will definitely like the dishes here." Xia Yichen said as if he was offering a treasure.

Gu Xiaoqi did not look up. She was currently chatting with Mu Liancheng on her phone, and only after repeatedly assuring him that he would be home at one o'clock did Mu Liancheng feel at ease.

At the table, other than Xia Yichen, there were also Ji Ruyu and Shen Waner. Of course, what was worth mentioning was that Ji Ruyu's assistant was actually a man. Furthermore, looking at Ji Ruyu's appearance, it seemed that she was a little afraid of him.

Gu Xiaoqi was extremely curious, so she asked secretly: "Ruyu, why have I never seen this assistant of yours before?"

"Him!" Ji Ruyu had an indignant expression on her face as she said while holding in her grievance: "This is my father's student, and although she said that she was my assistant, she's actually the real boss. My father specially sent him to watch over me."

"Oh, so it's the butler!" Gu Xiaoqi mischievously teased.

The few of them chatted nonchalantly, but suddenly a melodious ringtone came from the next room, followed by the magnetic voice of a man.

"Mm, I understand. Alright, I'll go over now."

The man's few simple words were not really true, but Gu Xiaoqi was still so shocked that her mouth was wide open. This voice, she definitely would not hear wrongly, wasn't this …

With a swoosh, he sat up on the stool and looked out. Gu Xiaoqi saw a figure walking far away, a dark blue striped suit with a black cufflinks on the sleeve.

Although it was far away, Gu Xiaoqi felt that she was not mistaken.

As for the sexy woman beside Mu Liancheng, she was dressed in a qipao. The two sides of her were split apart to reveal his slender and fair thighs, looking extremely bewitching.

Most importantly, the two of them had been holding each other's hands, and were extremely intimate.

This … this is impossible!

Gu Xiaoqi could not believe her eyes. How could the man who was bargaining with him and eating so much just now possibly appear in such a remote restaurant with another woman? Love each other.

Suppressing the grief in her heart, Gu Xiaoqi dialed the man's number. Through the window, she saw the man taking out something from her pocket and stuffing it in.

Following that, a woman's sweet voice came out of her phone, "I'm sorry, the user you dialed is busy right now. Please try again later."

Gu Xiaoqi's hands trembled, the phone fell to the ground, but she did not care.

Leaning against the wall of the private room, she closed her eyes and raised her head. There was a dense pain coming from her heart, but it slowly spread throughout her body, making her unable to breathe.

"Gu Xiaoqi, are you alright?" Xia Yichen's eyes were filled with worry.

Gu Xiaoqi laughed weakly, she was like a walking corpse, waving her hand as she walked: "Sorry, I have matters to attend to, I'll be going first, we'll meet again another day."

Xia Yichen wanted to stop them, but he was stopped by the assistant. Although this was the outskirts of the city, it was hard to say if anyone would be able to recognize them.

After failing to finish the meal, Shen Waner drove Gu Xiaoqi home.

Sitting in the empty living room, Gu Xiaoqi started to let her imagination run wild — — That woman, with her slender waist and wide buttocks, her skin covered with snow, she was obviously a charming and beautiful woman. Ninth Master had brought her to eat dinner, then, where would they go?

Hotel? It was still a high-end apartment.

In the past few days, Mu Liancheng had either been on a business trip or a meeting, and had often stayed overnight. Gu Xiaoqi had never doubted that, but now, she could not help but think, when Ninth Master was not back yet, would he be accompanying others?

Was there a day when Mu Liancheng would bring that woman back and sweep her out the door?

She recalled that in his previous life, she was imprisoned in that house and did not know anything about the outside world. Perhaps Mu Liancheng had already gotten married?
