"Brother Xun—" Xia Bingqing called out, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked both aggrieved and angry. "Brother Xun, I know I'm blind now because I'm a burden to you. I shouldn't have bothered you. Although my blindness is related to the injury I sustained in the jungle, it was my own choice, and I don't need any repayment. I only thought that once my eyesight improved, I would quietly leave and never bother you again. But I didn't expect that even so, Yi Yi wouldn't tolerate me."

Yi Yi: "..." Just as I thought. To direct and act out this whole drama, and then pitifully deliver such a long monologue, just so others would think Yi Yi deliberately scalded her with hot water—isn't that exhausting?

"I'm not that stupid. This water isn't hot enough to burn you. If I really can't stand you, I'll use boiling water."

"Brother Xun, did you hear that? Yi Yi, she actually said she would scald me with boiling water! How could she be so cruel!"

Yi Yi: "..." Is that what she meant? Is Xia Bingqing deaf or just not thinking straight?

Upon hearing this, Mu Nanxun frowned. As expected, Yi Yi still refused to explain for him.

"Li Ma, take Miss Xia downstairs to treat her burns first."

Mu Nanxun had already spoken, and Li Ma dragged Xia Bingqing away.

“Yi Yi…” Mu Nanxun said with a sullen face.

"Stop talking, Mu Nanxun. I know you don't believe me, so whatever I say is useless." Yi Yi didn't know where the anger came from, her face was stern, and she looked very uncomfortable.

Mu Nanxun also had a fiery temper and a short temper, especially when faced with Yi Yi's unreasonable behavior, he felt even more aggrieved. He hadn't even said anything yet, and she already felt he didn't trust her; he felt wronged!

As the heir to the prestigious Mu Corporation, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this in nearly thirty years. Even the old fogies on the board of directors wouldn't dare to address him by his first name or reprimand him so directly. He was proud after all, and even though Yi Yi held a special place in his heart, his inherent pride wouldn't allow him to lower himself in front of so many servants.

"Roar—"

Mao Mao suddenly appeared out of nowhere, baring his teeth and rubbing his fists together at Mu Nanxun.

Mu Nanxun: Who the hell is your master anyway?! Believe me or not, I'll rip you off!

Mao Mao: With Yi protecting me, I doubt you would dare to do anything to me.

Mu Nanxun: "..."

A lion and a fox, and neither of them took him seriously, humiliating him in front of so many servants. Did this big boss not care about his reputation?!

After a pause, Mu Nanxun, his face grim, ordered Xiao Fang, "Take Mark away and lock him in the backyard. He is not to be released without my permission!"

“Mu Nanxun, you…” Yi Yi was about to question Mu Nanxun, but she quickly realized that this was Mu Nanxun’s territory, and Mao Mao belonged to Mu Nanxun, so she had no right to question him.

Mu Nanxun glanced at him, then looked at Xiao Fang, "Hurry up and go."

"Boss, I..." I'm scared.

"Go quickly—"

Okay, although Mao Mao, oh no, Mark is scary, what's even scarier is his boss, Mu Nanxun.

After Xiao Fang and several men in black risked their lives to drive Mao Mao into the backyard and lock him up, Li Ma also came out with Xia Bingqing, whose wounds had been treated.

Yi Yi and Mu Nanxun were still locked in a stalemate, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
