Chapter 31: Liar

Mu Jiao thought that she might go home, so she struggled to get off Huo Qi's chest. She wanted to create some distance between them so that she could ask him and verify her guess.

After Huo Qi released the child's hand, he did not use any more strength, so Mu Jiao easily escaped from Huo Qi's arms.

"Huo... No, Your Highness the Second Prince, untying me means you want to let me go, right? That would mean sending me back to the Federation, right?" In Mu Jiao's opinion, Huo Qi had just untied her, which meant he wanted to spare her.

At this moment, she no longer cared about being angry about Huo Qi lying to her. If she could take the opportunity to be sent back to the Federation, she could return to the G2563 Orphanage.

"Do you really want to go back?" Huo Qi felt inexplicably unhappy when he heard the child's unfamiliar name, in a cautious yet expectant tone.

"Of course, of course. Huo... Your Highness, I saved your life after all. I don't ask for anything in return. Just send me back to the Federation. This should be a small matter for you, right?"

Mu Jiao was only thinking about going back at the moment, so she naturally ignored the displeasure in Huo Qi's words. When she heard Huo Qi's question, she naturally stated her attitude directly.

Hearing Mu Jiao's words of leaving, Huo Qi's deep blue eyes darkened instantly.

When he spoke again, his voice was no longer as gentle as before:

"You want to go back so much! Unfortunately, you can't." His tone became cold, with a malicious and teasing feeling in his voice.

"No... no, why? If you untie me, doesn't that mean you will let me go?" Mu Jiao was shocked.

"Good boy, if you want to save someone, you must do it to the end, right?"

“…”

Mu Jiao woke up from her joy and looked up at the man in front of her. His voice was no longer as gentle as before, and his tone became malicious and teasing. His deep blue eyes were dark and cold, and there was still a smile on his lips.

Mu Jiao took a step back...

I suddenly realized I might have mistaken a demon for an angel! What should I do? Waiting online, so anxious...

Is this his true face?

Unfortunately, Mu Jiao realized it too late...

…

When Mu Jiao woke up again, she was in a huge and luxurious bedroom. Mu Jiao sat up and found that she had changed into a set of pajamas made of comfortable fabric, a long halter dress.

“Boo, boo, boo…” Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, you’re awake! How could you throw the bear to the bad guys?! The bear is angry, almost mad to death…

When Bichon saw Mu Jiao wake up, he jumped directly into Mu Jiao and began to accuse Mu Jiao of leaving him to the bad guys.

While shouting, he rubbed his head against Mu Jiao's hand to express his dissatisfaction.

Looking at the hint of sadness in Mengmeng's big eyes, Mu Jiao knew that the little guy was really wronged this time.

Mu Jiao quickly stroked the little guy's fur, held it in her arms, comforted it for a long time, and promised that she would never abandon it again.

Finally, after some comforting from Mu Jiao, Meng Meng's wounded heart finally calmed down. He nestled in Mu Jiao's arms and had his fur stroked.

Mu Jiao carried Meng Meng down from the soft big bed. She was now in a dark place, her computer had crashed and was unusable. She could only look around the room.

Mu Jiao was barefoot, and the fluffy carpet under her feet made her feel warm and comfortable, and she didn't feel cold at all.

Mu Jiao thought this bedroom was very big, but when she opened the door, she found that the outside was even bigger, and it was luxurious and exquisite everywhere. Any small ornament seemed to be worth a lot of money.

Mu Jiao didn't have time to appreciate these things at the moment, because she was gloriously lost.

This place was so huge. There were many rooms along the way, but they were all empty. She couldn't even find anyone to ask for directions...

Fortunately, when she was about to give up, Mengmeng heard a sound coming from a room not far away, and Mu Jiao followed Mengmeng to the door of the room.

The soundproofing of this house is so good that even standing at the door, Mu Jiao couldn't hear a single sound. All thanks to Meng Meng...

I wonder who is inside. Could it be Huo...the Second Prince?

To be honest, Mu Jiao is a little scared of him now. He says the most gentle words and does the cruelest things. It's no wonder that he is talking about him.

She was actually knocked unconscious, and she even saved his life. The more Mu Jiao thought about what happened before, the angrier she became.

No matter what, she had been wandering around for so long and finally met someone. If it was him, then it was him. What was the big deal? The worst that could happen was her life...

Mu Jiao plucked up her courage and pushed open the door of the room.

…

"..." In the room, Huo Qi was sitting at his desk, wearing the dark blue uniform of the Empire, discussing matters with several leaders of the old clans, when Mu Jiao suddenly barged in...

The conversation between the few people came to an abrupt end.

Mu Jiao was wearing a thin suspender nightgown, her fair skin exposed, her feet bare, and she was holding a doll-like pet in her arms.

"Who brought you here? How dare you barge in and interrupt us when we are discussing important matters?" A middle-aged man scolded Mu Jiao harshly.

"..." Mu Jiao stared straight at Huo Qi in front of her and did not answer the middle-aged man.

"You..." The middle-aged man felt embarrassed when he saw that Mu Jiao didn't answer him, and he was about to scold her again.

"It's mine." Huo Qi interrupted the man's scolding again.

Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Huo Qi stood up and walked towards Mu Jiao.

His large body blocked the view of several people looking towards Mu Jiao. Huo Qi unbuttoned and took off his military jacket as he walked.

He just woke up and ran around wearing so little, and was seen by others. It would be a real worry if he didn't take care of his child.

Seeing Huo Qi approaching her, Mu Jiao was just gathering her courage and was about to ask him what he wanted. But before she could say anything, Huo Qi wrapped her in his military jacket and picked her up.

"That's all for today, you guys go home." After saying that, Huo Qi strode out with Mu Jiao in his arms, leaving behind a group of people staring at each other in bewilderment...

Mu Jiao: Is she being carried like a princess?
