"Just saw off those legs, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

His tone was calm and even, as if he were joking.

But it was this very sound that made the woman pause, her legs involuntarily shrinking back, and then she glared at him resentfully!

Xiao Jinyan curled her lips, a hint of amusement in her eyes.

"It seems they can hear you."

Then he got up, took out a tissue and carefully wiped his hands several times, then threw it away without hesitation.

Turning to the Azure Dragon,

"Take her back~"

...

Two hours later, in Shanghai, at the Xiao family villa.

"Aunt Xu, wash her clean for me!"

Xiao Jinyan took a long stride and lazily sat on the sofa, rhythmically tapping his fingers up and down on the coffee table in front of him, producing a series of crisp tapping sounds.

"Young master, who is this... young lady?"

When Aunt Xu stepped forward respectfully, she saw that there was hardly a clean or intact spot on the woman's body.

She even had an iron chain tied to her foot. How could the young master bring such a woman of unknown origin into his home?

Xiao Jinyan did not answer, but only raised his eyelids and glanced at Xu Ma indifferently, a cold light flashing in his dark eyes.

Xu Ma trembled, dared not ask any more questions, and quickly led the woman into the bathroom.

It took at least an hour before Xu Ma brought the cleaned woman to Xiao Jinyan.

The woman kept her head down, her lips tightly pressed together, and remained silent, carrying a faint scent of shower gel.

Since the woman's clothes were already tattered, Xu's mother had no choice but to find one of her own clothes for her to wear.

It was an ordinary piece of clothing, but when she wore it, it inexplicably exuded elegance and sophistication.

"Aunt Xu, you can go downstairs now."

Xiao Jinyan got up from the sofa and looked at the woman in front of him, whose body was tense.

"Yes, young master."

Xu Ma withdrew as instructed, taking a deep look at the woman of unknown origin with considerable curiosity.

"It looks much better after it's been washed!"

Xiao Jinyan curled one corner of his lips, his thin lips opening and closing, emitting a captivating sound.

He pinched her chin, lifted it up, and forced her to look him in the eye.

The woman's face was covered with wounds of all sizes, but the uninjured areas had skin as white as snow, elegant and refined, with a natural, ethereal quality.

Those eyes were like a clear pool of water, and when they looked around, they possessed a refined, aloof, and lively charm.

"Bewitching and captivating" was the only word Xiao Jinyan could think of at that moment.

What's your name?

His thin lips parted slightly, and he spoke each word clearly.

The woman didn't answer; she turned her face away and closed her eyes.

"say!"

Xiao Jinyan has always had a bad temper. He tightened his grip on the woman's chin, turning it around, and his arrogant aura sprayed onto her face.

Still silence~

Xiao Jinyan suddenly lifted her chin to his lips, his dark eyes narrowed dangerously, and he softly uttered a few words.

"How about I help you choose a surname like 'Nu' (奴), the 'Nu' in 'slave'? What do you think?"

"Wood fruit!"

The woman turned her face away, her chest heaving violently, her hands clenched into fists.

Xiao Jinyan suddenly smiled, his eyes still as cold as ever. He sat back down on the sofa, his tall and upright body leaning against the soft backrest.

"What a name, Muguo. It's quite unique, and you're as stubborn as a rock. I'd like to see just how tough your mouth is."

"Boss, boss, something terrible has happened..."

Qingyun rushed into the villa.

Xiao Jinyan frowned, and the smile that had just appeared vanished instantly.

"What's wrong now?"

"The old man is here!"
