Those two were clearly Lou Quzheng's spies.

no.

She can't just go out like this.

If Lou Quzheng finds out that she and Ji Huaishen are not a real couple, what if he actually exposes it online...?

That wouldn't be fun.

Mu Xiaocheng's eyes darted around, and she bit her lower lip. Should she tell Ji Huaishen about this?

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaocheng turned away again.

Bang! The door slammed shut.

Not hearing her footsteps as she walked away, Ji Huaishen turned around in surprise and looked at her.

Before he could speak, Mu Xiaocheng said with a bitter face, "Let me tell you the truth."

"Lou Quzheng suspected that we were a fake couple and threatened me openly and secretly, saying that he couldn't tolerate any nonsense. If he found out that we were really a fake couple and deliberately showing affection to create a CP, he would expose our affair and let my grandparents know. In order to prove that we were a real couple, he even asked me to coax you and sleep in the same room with you."

Mu Xiaocheng spoke rapidly, her words flowing out without pause.

She told Ji Huaishen everything about it.

Upon hearing her words, Ji Huaishen frowned, recalling what Lou Quzheng had just said, and finally understood.

So this was the opportunity he was talking about.

Seeing that Ji Huaishen didn't speak, Mu Xiaocheng suspected that she had spoken too fast and he hadn't heard her clearly, so she was about to speak again when Ji Huaishen interrupted her.

"Lou Quzheng is indeed capable of doing such a thing."

Huh?

What can he/she do?

Will it be exposed?

Mu Xiaocheng's lips twitched; she was practically about to curse.

Lou Quzheng is not young, he must be at least fifty years old, right?

Not only does he love to show off, but he also loves gossip and meddling in other people's business!

What kind of people are these?!

Mu Xiaocheng swallowed a mouthful of annoyance and simply sat down on the single sofa next to her.

With his head hanging low and looking utterly dejected, he said, "Then I'll have to stay here tonight. Let's kick him out tomorrow."

Hearing her say that, Ji Huaishen frowned even more.

Mu Xiaocheng immediately reflected on her words and actions, and quickly said, "Don't worry, I can sleep on the sofa, I definitely won't do anything to you."

Ji Huaishen: "..."

Does she really reject him that much?

He felt a dull ache in his heart.

But the girl knew nothing about it.

Seeing that Ji Huaishen still didn't speak, Mu Xiaocheng became a little anxious, stood up, and quickly said, "Lou Quzheng's bodyguards are watching us from outside, so we'll just have to make do for one night."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Ji Huaishen stride towards her with his long legs.

His face was cold and stern, and his deep eyes were unfathomable.

This man has a very strong presence.

This was the first time Mu Xiaocheng had perceived it so clearly.

Before she could react, Ji Huaishen's slightly cool hand pinched her chin.

He didn't use much force, just pinched her and then slightly raised her delicate chin.

He forced her to look him in the eye.

"Answer my question."

He parted his thin lips slightly and spoke softly.

Those eyes no longer held their former deep affection and gentleness; instead, they held a chilling coldness.

Mu Xiaocheng was frightened by his appearance.

What happened to him?

What do you want her to answer?

This old man is really hard to please.

Mu Xiaocheng subconsciously clenched her fist and swung it at the man.

She wasn't some delicate little flower, and she wasn't willing to let him bully her like that.

To Mu Xiaocheng's surprise, Ji Huaishen didn't dodge.

Her fist, straight and heavy, struck him.

Her eyes flickered. Why didn't this idiot dodge?
