Gu Xiaoqi burned the entire night, and Mu Liancheng accompanied him throughout the night without any rest.

Thus, on the second day, when Gu Xiaoqi woke up, she saw a handsome, sky-splitting face close to her ear, the stubble that had just sprouted out did not affect a man's beauty in the slightest, but instead added onto it was a bit more sexy.

"Ninth Master …" Gu Xiaoqi weakly shouted, the sound was as soft as a mosquito's cry.

But the man still reacted in an instant. Before he even opened his eyes, the hand that was on Xiao Qi's body moved subconsciously.

Gently and slowly patting Xiao Qi's back, Mu Liancheng coaxed: "Xiao Qi, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here."

Gu Xiaoqi had just woken up and was still a little dazed. The man's hand was very warm, so she comfortably leaned her head over.

They snuggled together like two cats warming each other.

However, this kind of warmth did not last for long, with a bang, Shen Nan crashed into the door, and anxiously shouted out: "Ninth Master, it's bad, Mu, Mu..."

Shen Nan's voice suddenly stopped. No matter how slow he was, he realized that he seemed to have done something bad.

But when he thought about the two great buddhas that stood downstairs, Shen Nan could only look at Mu Liancheng with murderous eyes and anxiously say: "Ninth Master, there are guests downstairs. They are people from Mu Family."

Seeing Shen Nan's expression, Mu Liancheng did not dare to delay any longer. He stood up, put on his clothes, and then said in a soft voice: "Sleep a little longer, I'll be back soon."

Gu Xiaoqi obediently nodded her head, "Okay."

But it had been more than two hours since Mu Liancheng left. Gu Xiaoqi's body was stiff, and her stomach was growling from hunger.

Gu Xiaoqi got up from the bed while wearing her furry slippers, and pushed open the door.

And then —

"Who are you?" Gu Xiaoqi looked at the man outside the door defensively.

This person looked like he was in his early twenties. He had a baby face, big eyes, and a nose bridge. He completely looked like a little puppy.

However, he was wearing a well-groomed suit. It was rather awkward, as if he was a child wearing an adult's shirt.

The man was also shocked. He stared with his round eyes and said embarrassedly, "I-I'm looking for the bathroom."

"The bathroom is downstairs." Gu Xiaoqi still did not feel reassured, and the bad guy did not write a word on his face.

Fortunately, Mu Liancheng arrived in time. He frowned, walked over and draped the jacket over Gu Xiaoqi's body, "Why are you wearing so little and you came out already?"

"It's okay, I'm not cold." Gu Xiaoqi replied obediently.

Mu Lianyu never thought that one day, his big brother would ask for a woman's warmth and care.

This made him view Gu Xiaoqi with even more importance.

Mu Lianyu walked over affectionately with a brilliant smile and asked: "Big Brother, so this is my future sister-in-law?"

Mu Liancheng's gaze did not move, he only nodded slightly, "Mn."

Gu Xiaoqi did not know the reason why, so she did not answer and stood to the side as a backdrop for her smiling.

On the other hand, Mu Lianyu reached out his hand as if he was extremely familiar with his, and greeted her. "Sister-in-law, my name is Mu Lianyu, you can call me Little Yu."

Gu Xiaoqi did not dare to easily agree. She looked at Mu Liancheng with a puzzled expression, only to see him holding her hand, walking past Mu Lianyu while turning a blind eye to his, and not even giving his a glance.

Gu Xiaoqi didn't understand, but she clearly felt that Mu Lianyu's gaze dimmed, like a puppy that had been abandoned.

After putting away the unnecessary thoughts in her heart, Gu Xiaoqi followed Mu Liancheng downstairs.

An unfamiliar yet familiar middle-aged man was sitting downstairs.

If this person truly looked like the Ninth Master, then his identity could naturally be guessed.

"Mu Liancheng, have you considered what I have said yet?" The impatient look on Mu Feng's face ruined his good appearance.

"Impossible!" Mu Liancheng's voice definitely carried a chill.

Mu Feng was instantly enraged. He stood up from the sofa and pointed at Mu Liancheng's nose as he scolded: "You truly are an ungrateful bastard. I never thought that after being raised for so many years, the old man would bring up such an unloyal and unfilial thing!"

These words were said too much, but Mu Liancheng acted as if he was accustomed to it, as he said in a voice as cold as ice.

Mu Feng was still cursing non-stop, but Gu Xiaoqi could understand what was going on after listening for a while.

It turned out that due to the turmoil in the Mu Family, not only did Mu Liancheng send those crazy people to prison, but he also frozen all of the property in the houses they lived in and directly deleted their names from the family tree.

Those people couldn't persuade Mu Liancheng, and after paying an unknown price, they managed to get Mu Feng back.

Furthermore, these were not the most important things. Mu Feng actually shamelessly boasted and had Mu Liancheng hand over his Mu Family Group to Mu Lianyu to manage.

After Mu Feng finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Xiaoqi in disdain: "Mu Liancheng, I've already arranged a marriage for you, and they've already agreed to let you marry into their family."

Mu Feng acted as if Mu Liancheng had taken a huge advantage of him, and continued to talk, "The Zhao Family can be considered a wealthy family with their Rong City. If you take over their business, you can also help your little brother."

Gu Xiaoqi was immediately angered to the point that she laughed. In her previous and present life, she had seen far too many top-notch items, but none of them could compare to the person in front of her.

Gu Xiaoqi wanted to muster up the courage to ask Mu Liancheng — Are you sure that you didn't get the wrong person?

He then looked at Mu Lianyu, who was sitting beside Mu Feng, and stared at Gu Xiaoqi with an expression of curiosity and yearning.

Mu Liancheng drank his tea in an exceptionally good-natured manner. After Mu Feng finally stopped, he slowly said: "Mu Feng, you should be glad that I look like you."

With that, Mu Liancheng looked at his watch, and stood up happily: I've been out for so long, I wonder if Xia Lan is still alright?

"What did you do?" Mu Feng instantly became flustered. He rushed forward to grab Mu Liancheng, but was easily dodged by Mu Liancheng.

"Nothing, I just treated her to some tea." The more Mu Liancheng played it down, the more worried Mu Feng became.

Before he came, he had already sent the person to a secret location. Could Mu Liancheng really find him?

Mu Feng was skeptical, but he dared not gamble and could only threaten him with righteous indignation, "Mu Liancheng, I never thought that you would even be able to harm your own mother. I have truly overestimated your conscience! "Just you wait. If you don't agree to my conditions, I'll make it so that you won't be able to rest in peace for the rest of your life."

Mu Liancheng gave him an indifferent expression, and in the end, Mu Feng brought Mu Lianyu and hurriedly left.

Gu Xiaoqi sat beside Mu Liancheng and did not speak for a long time.

After that, it was Mu Liancheng who took the initiative to speak, "Xiao Qi, I'm very happy that you didn't leave immediately after seeing me get sick last night."

He shook his head, blocking Gu Xiaoqi's reply, and continued: "Just now, that man was my father, my birth. The one beside him is my brother Mu Lianyu, from the same father and mother. When they threw me out of the house in the winter when I was seven, and the old man picked me up, I was frozen. "Later …"

Mu Liancheng spoke in a calm tone for nearly half an hour, every word was laced with traces of blood, as though he was digging out flesh from his chest.

Gu Xiaoqi had long been crying so much that she couldn't even make a sound. She covered her mouth, and her trembling words didn't make a sound, "Don't, don't talk anymore. Please, don't …"

Mu Liancheng was very obedient, he wiped away Gu Xiaoqi's tears and earnestly and solemnly looked Xiao Qi in the eyes, "Gu Xiaoqi, although I am in a high position and have power, but my parents hate me, and I do not like brothers, due to my strange illness, I could lose my life at any time, so I …"

"So I will definitely not let you off. As long as I'm still alive, you'll have to accompany me for a day. No matter if I'm crazy or sick, you won't be able to escape."

Gu Xiaoqi, who had been feeling extreme heartache just a second ago, wished that she could strangle the man in front of him to death.

Unluckily, it was all fake. Mu Liancheng's power was unparalleled.

She seriously suspected that Mu Liancheng said those were all to soften her heart, and then agreed to the terms of his Overlord.

But Gu Xiaoqi had to admit, Mu Liancheng had moved her.

This was a scheme, an open scheme.

Mu Liancheng was openly telling her, "I'm sick and unlucky, my surroundings are all trouble, but I won't let you go. If you want to leave me, that's just a dream!"

Right now, what could the teary Gu Xiaoqi do, she could only nod her head in agreement.

"So the last time you tricked me into working, it was actually because of your illness?"

At this point, Mu Liancheng had nothing that he couldn't answer.

"On the night of that birthday, I was to deliver something to you, and then... You pushed me out because you had an illness? "

"Yes."

Receiving the man's affirmative answer, Gu Xiaoqi's heart immediately became clear. All the worries that she had buried deep in her heart were relieved at this moment.

But she still couldn't understand, she had clearly seen Mu Liancheng bringing another woman to the private restaurant with her own eyes, how could she have …

He told Mu Liancheng about his suspicions, but Mu Liancheng was even more angry than she was, "Gu Xiaoqi, I shouldn't have released you!"

Seeing that Mu Liancheng was about to lose his temper, without even thinking, Gu Xiaoqi immediately jumped onto the man's body.

Mu Liancheng instinctively stretched out his hand to catch her.

Then, Gu Xiaoqi hung onto Mu Liancheng's body like a koala, and adorably questioned: "Ninth Master, I know you wouldn't do anything bad, but I definitely didn't see wrong either!"

The soft body in his embrace suddenly flashed with big eyes, her small mouth muttered. No matter how angry Mu Liancheng was, he wouldn't be able to release it.

He exerted a little more force and pinched the soft flesh on Gu Xiaoqi's waist. Only then did he explain with a straight face: "I've been in the company all day, all of the employees can testify for me!"

Gu Xiaoqi was in so much pain that she did not dare struggle anymore. She felt wronged and said, "I really saw it, I can't be wrong."

But Mu Liancheng had definitely never been there before, could it be that there was another Mu Liancheng in this world?

Although the misunderstanding had been resolved, Gu Xiaoqi felt that there was an invisible hand beside her that was controlling her life.
