Although the Central City was just one of the border cities of the Empire of Dongyue, its prosperity was comparable to any other prosperous city in the Kingdom of Dongyue. Even the City Lord's Mansion was built in a magnificent manner.

Every pavilion in the courtyard was meticulously carved and sculpted by craftsmen. Outside the pavilion, there were small bridges and flowing water. The manmade hills of the pavilion were a part of the scenery, and the sight would be pleasing to the eyes.

Of course, whether the scenery was beautiful or not still depended on the mood of the people enjoying the scenery. If they were in a bad mood, then no matter how beautiful the scenery was, it would still look so ordinary.

At this moment, standing beside the white jade railings, Zhao Xiaoxue was experiencing this kind of experience. No matter how beautiful the scenery was, it couldn't arouse her interest.

"Whether I'm sincere or not isn't important. The most important thing is that I can't give it to you!"

"..."

These words seemed to have a demonic quality to them as they continuously flashed through his mind.

This man was like a book that had never been flipped through before. There was a lot of content, and although there was clearly a fixed ending, the process was unfathomable.

He was the one who wanted to marry her, and the one who went away on the second day of their marriage was also him. He clearly knew her identity, but he still kept a distance from her on purpose.

However, when she was in trouble, he would always appear, giving her a sense of security. He made her rely on him as a habit, and now that her life was entangled with his, he would unconsciously push her away. It was extremely strange!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Zhao Xiaoxue finally couldn't hold it in anymore and punched the railing with her fist, reprimanding it:

"I can't give it to you! I can't give it to you! What can't be given! I didn't ask you to give it to me, so I gave it to you, no? "

"Sure! I wonder what you want me to give me? "

Being randomly spoken to by someone made Zhao Xiaoxue feel even worse. She turned around and saw City Lord Mu, dressed in a dark blue robe, gracefully walking towards her.

It had to be said that this City Lord Mu looked pretty good, but in Zhao Xiaoxue's eyes, he was only good. She didn't seem to see anything else, but because the other party had answered without a reason, she was slightly unhappy and asked with a disdainful expression:

"Why is it you?"

Those who knew Mu Chengjue well knew that he was not as gentle as everyone had seen him to be. Instead, he was a vengeful person. Even people from the royal family of the Eastern Yue State would have to pay attention to him when they saw him.

Even so, Mu Chengjue did not pull back his face immediately. Instead, he smiled.

"En..." I'm just here to see if Miss still likes my arrangements! "

"Arrangements?"

Zhao Xiaoxue was extremely dissatisfied with the arrangement. The quiet courtyard was very large, but her room was arranged at the highest point. Although her view was wide, she was still a distance away from Chu Yufeng's room.

As soon as she arrived, she expressed her disagreement. She wanted to live with Chu Yufeng, but she was rejected by Beautiful National for all sorts of reasons.

In the end, he even said that the host, City Lord Mu had specially prepared this room for her. He said that the host, City Lord Mu had specially prepared this room for her.

"That's right!" This is the entire Qing Yuan, oh no, the best location in the City Lord's Mansion. Not only can we see the beautiful scenery here, we can also view the entire city.

Mu Chengjue's thoughts were very obvious. He was afraid that the girl beside him would not understand his intentions.

"An excellent place? What is the purpose of you arranging such a good place? "

Zhao Xiaoxue wasn't blind, and the expression on this City Lord Mu's face was also very clear. Previously, it had also been seen through by Mo Qingcheng, so she could naturally see through it.

"Purpose? "My goal is to be good to you and to satisfy your request as much as possible …"

"But, do you know that I have a husband? Right now, I can be considered as having a husband's wife. City Lord Mu, do you think that's good enough for you? Furthermore, my husband is also here, yet you arranged for me to stay apart from him.

Zhao Xiaoxue was not afraid of losing face. The earlier, even more embarrassing things had already been seen by someone. Now that the news had spread, she did not believe that even City Lord Mu had not heard of it.

"Hehe, Miss Xue is indeed a straightforward person!"

"You know me?"

So it turned out that this fellow had long known of her identity, yet he had purposely called her 'Miss'.

"Of course I know Miss Xue. Miss Xue has the looks of a celestial being, but she was forced to marry a terminally ill South King. Such injustice is known by the entire world!"

"You're wrong, you're not being forced!"

These words were said without hesitation, but Zhao Xiaoxue had forgotten that she escaped the marriage. Now, even she didn't want to admit it.

"But the Southern King can't give you anything. Even if he also likes you, he has no choice but to push you away like he did today!"

Originally, he didn't want to say it out loud, but after seeing Miss Xue's persistent appearance, Mu Chengjue became somewhat anxious.

"Can't give what? How do you know what I want? "

It was these words again. Zhao Xiaoxue had been annoyed to death by these words, 'I can't give it to you'.

"Only... "As long as Miss Xue is willing, I can give you anything …"

"I don't want to!" I don't want to! "Other than Chu Yufeng, I don't want anything that anyone can give me!"

Zhao Xiaoxue had been holding back these words for a long time, now she finally had the chance to say them.

"Eh …"

It was Mu Chengjue's first time discussing such a strange problem with a girl, and to make the girl so excited. He had obviously been forcefully rejected, but the weird thing was, he didn't feel frustrated.

"City Lord Mu, if there's nothing else, please allow me!"

After a moment of catharsis, Zhao Xiaoxue understood that she was determined. So, she went to find Chu Yufeng. This time, she might be able to have a good talk with him, but things would come to an end eventually.

As Zhao Xiaoxue spoke, she circled around the person in front of her, but just as she was about to get away from him, her arm was grabbed by someone.

"Let go!"

"Why must Miss Xue be so persistent? Actually, I'm sincere!"

Mu Chengjue's patience was wearing thin, and he had a strong sense of possession to tell him that he did not want this woman to see that person again. If possible, he wanted that person to disappear, but the facts did not allow it.

"I don't want anything to do with you! Please let me go!"

Mu Chengjue's strength was not small, and even Zhao Xiaoxue felt that her arm was hurting.

"How could it be unrelated, I …"

As Mu Chengjue spoke, he exerted his strength. As the strength in his arms increased, Zhao Xiaoxue's entire body fell backwards. In the blink of an eye, she was about to fall into the arms of a man at the side.

"Clap clap!"

Just when Zhao Xiaoxue thought that this was going to become a fixed ending, she suddenly discovered that someone had used an unknown object to attack the hand that was holding her arm.
