C71 The Food Choked in His Throat

It was a medieval European palace, with frescoes, chandeliers, brightly lit corridors, extravagance to the point of stupefying, and a perfect combination with modernity.

It was just like the palace of an emperor. Ling Muxue naturally knew that as the richest man in B City, the Xiao family's family background was definitely quite solid. However, such a luxurious castle seemed too much for the Xiao family.

And she was curious as to why she didn't bump into anyone on the way. It couldn't be that Xiao Qinghan was the only one who lived here.

However, she did not care too much about that. Now, she could not understand Xiao Qinghan's actions at all. The Xiao Qinghan who was once cold and did not like to talk but still cared for her was long gone.

At that time, she would never have believed that Xiao Qinghan would become so ruthless. The current him was like a devil to Ling Muxue! Beast!

She knew that if Xiao Qinghan didn't let her out, she wouldn't be able to get out of this place, and at this moment, she was really tired, especially since her legs were so weak. Plus, she hadn't eaten since last night, so when that beast Xiao Qinghan raped her, she was already so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back and her strength seemed to have been drained.

But she did not know what the devil would do to her if she went back to beg him. She would rather die than beg him anymore, but how was she going to get out now? What would Yiyue do if she did not have the money tomorrow? And she could only watch as her father's company was destroyed by Ling Yetian.

The agony in her heart made Ling Muxue feel as if both her body and mind were broken. She reached out her hand to the wall to support her weak body. After resting for a while, she lifted her foot and continued to walk forward.

At this moment, she looked up and noticed that there was a golden door in front of her.

She looked at it and was stunned for a few seconds. She actually wanted to go in and have a look. It was as if there was some kind of magic coming from behind the door, attracting her to go closer.

She moved slowly toward the door. Standing there, she put her hand on the gold-plated knob and felt a force on the knob, making her shudder. Why did she feel so nervous now, and something was wrong with the tension?

Finally, she tried pressing it, Crack!

The door was not locked. It was gently pushed open by a small crack, but before she could push it open completely, a violent voice shocked Ling Muxue so much that her body trembled violently.

"What are you doing?"

Ling Muxue acted like a thief who had been caught red-handed. Her entire body tensed up and she saw Xiao Qinghan walking over quickly with his brows tightly knitted. In a daze, Ling Muxue actually saw a trace of nervousness and fear in his eyes.

What was he so nervous about? What was he afraid of? While he was in a daze, Xiao Qinghan reached out and pushed her away.

He slammed the door shut and locked it!

He turned his head around and looked at her with a cold and emotionless gaze. "Ling Muxue, I didn't expect you to have the habit of peeking into someone else's room!"

Ling Muxue was annoyed by his shout. "You think I want to see it? I can't even be bothered to look at you if you beg me. I don't want to see anything dirty stain my eyes."

Dirty? When Xiao Qinghan faced her, he would always be unable to control his emotions. Ling Muxue, on the other hand, looked at him fearlessly.

At that very moment, an inappropriate sound rang out.

The sound of Ling Muxue's stomach rumbling could be heard in the silent and oppressive atmosphere.

Ling Muxue immediately felt a little awkward. She held her stomach and lowered her head with a red face as she muttered in a low voice, "I'm hungry!"

Xiao Qinghan looked at her red face in embarrassment. His burning heart instantly extinguished when he heard her muttering, and his cold eyes unnaturally softened.

Ling Muxue did not dare to look at him and did not know what expression he had on his face. But she was really hungry right now. Could it be that he was torturing her and not giving her any food? 'Let her starve to death. He really is a heartless guy. How can he starve to death now?'

She raised her head and struggled to speak loudly, "I said I'm hungry!" With a face full of anger, Xiao Qinghan couldn't help but smile. That smile caused the entire world to lose its color in an instant.

However, in Ling Muxue's opinion, that was a devilish smile. He was happy to see her starve to death. Bastard!

"Look at how loud you are shouting. You look like you're hungry."

"You..." After thinking for a while, she finally gritted her teeth and said with difficulty, "I'm really hungry!"

The smile on Xiao Qinghan's face deepened. "I told you to be stubborn with me! I told you to run around!" With that, he turned to the side, put his hands in his pockets, and walked forward in a handsome manner.

Looking at his back as he left, Ling Muxue immediately felt anxious. Was he really going to starve her to death here?

With anger in her voice, she saw Xiao Qinghan turn his head around and look at him coldly. "Aren't you hungry? Hurry up and follow!"

Ling Muxue was furious and followed him, but just as she was about to take a step forward, her legs went soft and her body fell weakly to the ground.

Before she could recover, Xiao Qinghan had already arrived in front of her, picked her up from the ground, and held her in his arms.

Ling Muxue subconsciously struggled for a moment, "Let go of me!" Her voice was already ridiculously soft, without the slightest bit of momentum.

"If you want to crawl on the ground, I don't mind either!" With a cunning glint in her eyes, she slowly let go of her hand as she spoke.

Ling Muxue felt her body sliding down bit by bit, and she subconsciously wrapped her arms around Xiao Qinghan's neck. She really did not have any strength left now.

"Xiao Qinghan, are you a man or not?" He was so happy torturing himself.

Xiao Qing smiled wickedly. "Shouldn't you know very well whether I'm a man or not?"

"You..." Ling Muxue was also at a loss for words. She lowered her eyes and did not want to say another word to him.

Xiao Qinghan did not say anything else. At this moment, such a small argument made him feel much more at ease. He carried her and walked away.

Her eyes inadvertently drifted to the door that was getting further and further away from her, and she was really curious as to what it was that made Xiao Qinghan so nervous and afraid.

Xiao Qinghan took her back to the balcony and placed her on the throne. Soon two blond maids came up with exquisite dishes, both Chinese.

Without saying a word, Ling Muxue picked up her chopsticks and started to eat wildly. She did not care about eating slowly or being a lady at all. Right now, she only wanted to fill her stomach.

The other two maids who were standing at the side looked at each other in surprise and saw that Ling Muxue was eating without caring about her image at all. Then they looked at their young master, who was sitting next to her and was staring at them without any sign of annoyance. Not only that, but the look in his eyes was different as well.

"Cough, cough..." Ling Muxue choked on the food that she was too anxious to eat.
