C5 No Way out

This was the first time Mu Xu had slept in Ye Chong's house until late in the morning!

She turned around and sat up. Suddenly, she remembered her dream from last night. That lingering nightmare made Mu Xu shiver, and then she suddenly remembered something. Why didn't she wake up from that nightmare last night?

She vaguely remembered that someone had been patting her last night and had even used his hands to test her sweat. She couldn't help but feel his gentleness, because with him comforting her, she felt like she had found a safe haven and slowly calmed down in that person's arms. This was the reason why she didn't wake up.

There was no one else in the room, so the person who patted her body and hugged her to comfort her was Leaf Tong?

Mu Xu was shocked by his own thoughts? How is this possible? Ye Tong had always been a lofty emperor to her. The emperor had always been waiting for others to serve him, so how could he do such a thing condescendingly? The most important thing was Ye Tong's cold attitude towards her; how could such a cold man be so gentle?

The word 'gentle' sent a chill down Mu Xu's spine. She must be crazy, why would she associate Ye Tong's gentleness with herself?

In the three months she'd been with him, she'd seen a set face, a man who'd never smiled at her. Even when he'd been in bed with her, he'd been cold.

This kind of man wasn't something that a normal woman could control. If she could, she would rather never have interacted with him. However, the heavens were playing a joke on her.

In a meal, in a glass of wine, she had lost her most precious possession.

Since the heavens wanted her to be their bait, why would she retreat? Mu Xu clearly knew that she had nowhere else to retreat to, so she had to follow through with her plan.

Because of this, she had a thorough understanding of Ye Tong. Unfortunately, this man was too well-hidden, so far she couldn't find his lifeline.

If she couldn't control this man, then she could only choose to leave. She wasn't the one who started the game, so it wasn't her turn to end it.

Mu Xu could only wait. From what she knew, there was no one besides his fiancée who could stay with this man for three weeks.

She thought that she would be quickly fed up with him, but she didn't expect that even after three months had passed, this man still didn't tell her to stop.

And she was extremely annoyed!

Mu Xu sighed and quickly got out of bed. After tidying up the bed sheets, he picked up the cheque on the table and hurriedly left the villa.

Munch went to the nearest bank and handed over the check, then began to wander aimlessly through the streets.

A piece of news suddenly appeared on the big screen of the square on the street. It was the voice of the announcer, "The founding ceremony of the Xu's International President, Lu Zexuan, is here today at Mu Ran's Resort Manor!"

A tall and straight figure appeared on the screen, smiling like a signboard on his handsome face. Mu Xu stood blankly as he watched the person on the screen pick up a shovel and start the laying of the foundation ceremony.

Memories flooded in like floodwaters, "Brother Lu! "Brother Lu!" Wearing a princess dress, her young and tender voice seemed as if it was still from yesterday.

In the blink of an eye, her brother Lu and her had grown up. Under the old scholar tree, he embraced her affectionately, "Little girl, you can rest easy and follow me for the rest of your life!"

Those words were a vague description, as if they were right in front of his eyes. Mu Xu's eyes suddenly felt sore, she thought she would never shed tears again, but she didn't expect that tears would actually be so simple.

Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes. Not far away from her, Leaves Tong sat in the car looking at her tearful face with a gloomy expression.
