Qiao Anxia originally wanted to finish her meal and leave, but when she felt two pairs of eyes focused on her, she immediately became the center of attention. Qiao Anxia was extremely vexed.

Seeing her choking, Mo Hancheng subconsciously reached out his hand to pat her back, but his hand stopped behind her back. He stared at her petite figure with a deep gaze. A complicated emotion flashed across his eyes.

His movements were caught by Mo Tingyue inadvertently. His gentle expression changed slightly, and the coldness in his eyes disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"This is also your home. You can stay here as long as you want."

"If there's anything you need, just tell me."

Mo Tingyue's tone was very gentle, but when he said 'sister-in-law', he purposely emphasized on it.

How could Mo Hancheng not know?

His expression darkened, and coldness filled his eyes. The instant his eyes met Mo Tingyue's, sparks flew in all directions.

Qiao Anxia still hadn't figured out the situation. She only remembered Mo Tingyue's warning to play along with him in front of Mo Hancheng.

She took a deep breath and raised her head to look at Mo Hancheng, saying gently, "That's right, Hancheng. If you need anything in the future, feel free to tell sister-in-law."

Almost at the same time she said that, Mo Hancheng's originally cold face turned dark at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The word that came out of her mouth was really ear-piercing.

Feeling the air around her freeze, Qiao Anxia's smiling face froze. Her beautiful eyes blinked innocently as she saw Mo Tingyue's expression darken.

What did she say wrong? Why were all of them looking so terrifying?

Qiao Anxia seemed relieved to have finished her breakfast in a repressed atmosphere.

Just as he was about to leave, Mo Tingyue suddenly walked to her side and swept his indifferent gaze across her body. He said, "Come back to my room."

It was rare for Mo Tingyue to leave before he finished his breakfast, but Qiao Anxia wasn't as expectant as usual.

He followed him down the long corridor, moving closer and closer to the door of his room. She only felt that his ice-cold figure seemed to be able to freeze her, causing her to feel uneasy. Her steps were as heavy as lead.

Just as she reached the door, Mo Tingyue grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her into the room.

He pushed her against the wall and her soft body hit the cold hard wall. Her back trembled and she took in a breath of cold air.

Before she could react, Mo Tingyue suddenly clenched her jaw and lifted it with force. His gentle expression instantly became gloomy, looking down on her from above. His eyes were filled with anger, and he wanted to swallow her up. "Who gave you the guts to be so gentle to him?"

"I don't understand what you're saying!"

Qiao Anxia glared at him coldly, not understanding what he was doing.

"Marrying me is not enough, you want to climb up Mo Hancheng?" Mo Tingyue sneered, his cold voice carrying a few traces of contempt.

Recalling the gentle way Qiao Anxia spoke to Mo Hancheng just now, an inexplicable anger arose in his heart. His hands were so strong that it seemed as if he wanted to crush her.

"Mo Tingyue, you're crazy!"

Qiao Anxia's jaw ached from the pain, and she struggled to escape his grasp.

Looking at her misty beautiful eyes, Mo Tingyue's heart ached for no reason. The strength in his hands loosened a little as his eyes stared at her and he warned coldly, "Qiao Anxia, don't forget your identity. It's best not to let me find out that you have feelings for Mo Hancheng that you shouldn't have! Otherwise... The Mo family's prison is where you'll be staying from now on! "

Faced with Mo Tingyue's warning, Qiao Anxia tactfully nodded and was finally able to struggle free from his evil claws.

He seemed to be unusually sensitive to Mo Hancheng.

Qiao Anxia was just acting with him, so she didn't expect Mo Tingyue to have such a huge reaction.

"You and I will sleep in the master bedroom before he leaves."

Mo Tingyue enjoyed Qiao Anxia's obedient behaviour. His terrifying voice clearly became a lot softer.

"I'll sleep on the bed, you sleep on the sofa." Qiao Anxia answered without hesitation. Her voice was calm as she looked at Mo Tingyue slowly.

In the past, she might have been looking forward to being in the same room as him.

But Mo Tingyue hurt her too much.

Knowing that she couldn't change his decision, she wanted to avoid feeling wronged.

Mo Tingyue was a bit shocked. In his heart, it should be Qiao Anxia's wish to live in the same room as him. However, her current indifferent attitude made it hard for him to fathom her thoughts.

He couldn't help but squint his eyes as a dangerous cold glint shot out from them. He concluded that she was playing some tricks, and his voice was as cold and hard as usual. "Qiao Anxia, don't push your luck."

"You better remember, don't treat me like this …"

"I know."

"Don't have any unrealistic illusions about you. You won't fall in love with me."

Without any warning, Qiao Anxia interrupted him. Her cold voice was very faint, and her clear eyes didn't have the slightest fluctuation.

After getting used to Qiao Anxia's docile temperament, Mo Tingyue suddenly lost his temper after she choked on his words. It was like he was holding it in, and there was an indescribable feeling of unwillingness.

He didn't want to stay any longer. When he walked to the door, Qiao Anxia asked, "Where did you go last night?"

His footsteps paused slightly, a hint of disdain flashed across Mo Tingyue's eyes. All the anger he held in his heart was vented out. She was still the same as before.

"At a social gathering."

Leaving those two words, Mo Tingyue left without looking back.

His ice-cold figure disappeared into Qiao Anxia's eyes, and she couldn't help but bitterly smile.

Recreation...

He lied.

"Knock knock ~ ~ ~"

"Madam, Second Young Master invites you to his room."

Not two minutes after Mo Tingyue left, there was a knock on the door. It was Mo Hancheng who asked the servant to call her.

The two brothers really didn't give her a single moment to catch her breath.

Qiao Anxia felt a headache coming on as she replied indifferently, "I understand."

"Madam, Second Young Master also said that if you don't come within three minutes, he will personally come to invite you." Hearing that there was no activity in the room, the servant outside continued to speak with difficulty.

"Alright, I'll be there immediately."

Helpless, Qiao Anxia rubbed her forehead, knowing that she wouldn't be able to dodge it.

If she pissed Mo Hancheng off, who knows what would happen when he personally came to invite her.

Sooner or later, she would have to go. Qiao Anxia rushed into the cloakroom and wrapped herself in three layers before coming out of the room and walking quickly towards Mo Hancheng's room.

When she arrived in front of Mo Hancheng's door, Qiao Anxia hesitated. She raised her hand but didn't knock on the door. She kept taking deep breaths, trying to calm herself, biting her lower lip. She was confused as to what the demon would do to her.

She had no idea what was waiting for her behind this door.

"Mo …"

After hesitating for a long time, her hanging hand finally knocked on the door. Before she could even finish her sentence, the door in front of her suddenly opened, and a big, powerful hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her hanging hand. The moment she was brought inside, she quickly closed the door and pressed her against it.

Qiao Anxia's heart was flustered. Before she could react, the aggressive male aura suddenly approached and a pair of pitch black, deep eyes intruded into her line of sight without any warning. His perfect, godlike face was constantly enlarging in her eyes.

They were close enough to hear each other's breathing.

"Three minutes and one second late."

"Tell me, how should I punish you?"
